Reload Dashing = Is the main movement technique used in the run. (coc stands for "center on cell" and is what the warp point is called within the engine) This also applies to the player, so we can use that engine mechanic to our advantage in several locations to warp us to beneficial places. This however risks skipping triggers, but the only time this matters in Any% is with Doc Mitchells dialogue (But you can mash with both regular enter and the numpad enter to get a safe fast text here), but if you do other categories such as Max Quests this is something to keep in mind.Ĭoc Warp/Void Warp = Every interior cell in the game has a set spawn point where actors go when they for some reason fall out of bounds. Text Mashing = Mashing Left Mouse Button and ENTER is the fastest way to get through dialogue. It's what you do to quickly warp to a point on the map which you've already explored.
Technique used to abuse several game mechanics such as skipping dialogue, negate fall damage, clip through walls and reset NPC attack animations.įT = Fast Travel. You can control your character during this fade in, so plan your movement accordingly. Load Screen Movement = After any load screen the screen will fade in from black, taking an extra second before you can see anything. Some relevant terms and techniques used when running, or other stuff that's useful to know.Ĭontrols = Most of the keys are rebindable in the controls menu, but some actions are hardcoded and cannot be rebound, such as menuing with the Arrow keys, and bringing up/switching screens on the pip-boy with the F-keys (F1, F2, F3). Crashes, freezes and the odd softlock is stuff you have to deal with when running this game, but due to frequent quicksaves you shouldn't lose too much time because of it (Providing you exit and relaunch your game quickly). The duct taped mess of an engine this game was made on doesn't run very well, neither does it handle the speed from reload dashing well. Note that some steam regions do not have access to italian (EU2 version most notably). Go back to english and paste the italian voice file in the english \Data\ folder.
HOW TO MAKE FALLOUT NEW VEGAS RUN FASTER INSTALL
If you want to be advanced and use Italian voice files (Saves only 4 seconds, it is in no way required for the current optimization level of any% runs), you can install them by backing up your english installation, then switching your language to italian in steam (Properties > Language > Italian), find the "Fallout - Voices1.bsa" file in the \Data\ folder and copy it. If editing fallout_default.ini didn't work, try also editing the fallout.ini file in the my documents\my games\FalloutNV folder. (Should look like the lines below, if 2 doesn't work, try having a 1 instead) If you have issues with the game crashing in load zones, find the following line in the fallout_default.ini:Ĭhange the line to 1 and add the line iNumHWThreads=2 underneath it. If you have issues with mouse acceleration in menus, try this fix: Right Click > Compare Against > Game Time). Use Livesplit as timer and set your game in the split file as Fallout: New Vegas, then activate the load remover (Make sure you're comparing against Game Time. Rebind Quicksave and Quickload to keys that you easily can reach (For example I have quicksave bound to Q and quickload bound to G). (You need to actually delete/rename the DLC from the \Data\ folder since disabling them through the launcher/steam won't do anything) The reason you don't want them is because they give you a pop-up ingame, which wastes time. Have only the Caravan Pack DLC enabled, disable all other DLC. The only difference between the Ultimate Edition and the regular is that Ultimate Editon includes all DLC released for the game. The latest steam version (Or the GOG version) for the game is what the run is performed on (Patch 1.4). (VSync is shit and still makes the game run faster than hard capping with 3rd party tools such as Dxtory or MSI Afterburner) Before starting, make sure you've capped your framerate to 60 or below.
