@Wirax - sorry for going offtopic, but is there a way to make LiveSplit work on Linux? I found all alternatives to be utterly terrible and I end up just rebooting back to Windows for speedruns.

Nice run!

Mod Note: Retimed (Start Frame: 93, End Frame: 26630, FPS: 30, Total Time: 14:44.567)

Hej, nie wiem czy zerknąłeś na zasady, ale run musi się zaczynać od kliknięcia Start w menu głównym, a twoje nagranie zaczyna się od menu pauzy już w trakcie gry + timer zatrzymujesz w momencie otwarcia drzwi ostatniego dnia + najwyraźniej audio nie działa :P polecam też ogarnąć jak działają global hotkeye w LiveSplit (czasami trzeba odpalić go jako administrator)

This is promoting something extremely unhealthy for some cheap novelty.

Coś ci zamula przy splicie ;) Ładny run! Zrobiłem retime:

Time starts at 0:00:06.058 and ends at 0:13:04.900 with a framerate of 30 FPS to get a final time of 0:12:58.866.

Retimed using Better Speedrun Timer

You don't need to stream - installation and setup of OBS is not rocket science & takes less than a single game run, done once. If it's enough to discourage someone, then it wouldn't be much value anyways. If I see a run, I want to see how it went. There's always something to learn, as opposed to "text proof" consisting of name & time.

Thank you! I figured out that alt-tabbing works, but I thought there's an easier solution - especially that I play via PCem and task switching is problematic :D

Been running through the game slowly for a bit to get the hang of it - I hope to post a run soon-ish

Cheers!

Hey hey,

I've been going through the game recently and seen the top speedrun - how to skip cutscenes?

Cheers!

Thanks! Yeah, the track path seems pretty simple and technical on that one, very prone to wall brushing. I am still not sure whether the car choice is optimal though :D

In each round you have to win (be the 1st to finish) a predefined number of races from a given pool. You immediately advance to the next round after achieving the required number.

Some tracks are clearly not viable, but there are a few where improvements can be made with proper shortcuts.

+------------------------------

Round 1 - You have to win 1 of these races:

Kenya (3 laps), approx. time 2:02 [Viable]

England (3 laps), approx. time 1:59 [Preferable]

Chile (3 laps), approx. time 3:42

+------------------------------

Round 2 - You have to win 1 of these races:

Mexico (3 laps), approx. time 3:27 [May be viable with optimization]

Australia (3 laps), approx. time 3:02 [Preferable]

USA water (3 laps), approx. time 4:12

+------------------------------

Round 3 - You have to win 2 of these races:

Ireland (3 laps), approx. time 2:08 [Preferable]

USA land (3 laps), approx. time 4:44

Egypt (3 laps), approx. time 3:10 [Preferable]

China (3 laps), approx. time 4:01

+------------------------------

Round 4 - You have to win 2 of these races:

Germany (3 laps), approx. time 3:32

Arctic (3 laps), approx. time 3:42

Russia (3 laps), approx. time 2:33 [Preferable]

Japan (3 laps), approx. time 2:38 [Preferable]

+------------------------------

Round 5 - You have to win 2 of these races:

Italy (3 laps), approx. time 4:04 [May be viable with optimization]

Norway (3 laps), approx. time 4:07

Mars (2 laps), approx. time 3:02 [Preferable]

Spain (3 laps), approx. time 3:44 [Preferable]

+------------------------------

Round 6 - You have to win 3 of these races:

Venus (3 laps), approx. time 3:03 [Preferable]

India (2 laps), approx. time 4:15

France (3 laps), approx. time 3:52

Hawaii (3 laps), approx. time 3:07 [Preferable]

Scotland (3 laps), approx. time 3:03 [Preferable]

+------------------------------

Round 7 - You have to win this race:

Moon (4 laps), approx. time 3:55 [Mandatory]

That jump from the zipline was really cool!

Kujawsko-pomorskie, PolandPaszq1 year ago

Hey, verified the run - and corrected real Time

Kujawsko-pomorskie, PolandPaszq1 year ago

Hey, I corrected "Time" field - it's the real time it took you to finish the run, which was slightly under 4min 39sec

Kujawsko-pomorskie, PolandPaszq1 year ago

Extra categories are ready - feel free to resubmit!

Kujawsko-pomorskie, PolandPaszq1 year ago

Hey, it's a cool trick, I was wondering if it's possible to use it in a major way!

I guess we'd need another category for such runs, where pausing is used to levitate & catch rocks. That one should stay glitchless & without expoints. Plus your run's real timer is around 3:11 (start at 0:10 and ends at 3:21).

Let me create Any% categories for each level. I'll also try to define some ruleset, feel free to give your input!

Kujawsko-pomorskie, PolandPaszq1 year ago

That's one nice push!

Hi,

The game isn't available via Microsoft's site anymore, but a fellow named Lucas C has managed to patch the installer for modern systems.

MS Plus full installer with Labyrinth Plus! included:

https://lucasc.me/post/microsoft-plus-patched-installers

....and that's it, if you want to play the base game on Win10 / Win11.

Bonus Addon pack (adds My Labyrinth mode with 20 extra levels)

In case you're having trouble getting Labyrinth Bonus Addon Pack to work (like I had), here's a Youtube guide showing step by step how to install it:

If you can't watch this for whatever reason (it might be gone in a couple of years), here's the guide:

  1. Download the addon pack from Microsoft's website:

http://download.microsoft.com/download/plus/LABBONUS/1/WXP/EN-US/PlusLabyrinthBonus.exe

  1. Try to run it

  2. If it shows an error - "Error creating process (...) cannot find the file specified", then don't close this window

  3. Keeping the error window open, go to:

c:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Local\Temp\IXP000.TMP\

Note: if the last folder - IXP000.TMP doesn't exist, go ahead and create it, then close the error message and open the installer again

  1. Double click the Patch003.msp file, which should be located in c:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Local\Temp\IXP000.TMP\

Note: If that method doesn't work, you can open the installer with 7-Zip, unpack the file to any location and run it from there.

Cheers!
