Title: Breaking News on the Facility Not Saving Time Glitch
Post by: Infected Mind on July 02, 2005, 06:33:00 pm
Ok Thats not the glitch. The Level was infact NEVER beaten. not only does it not save your time, it doesnt even do the check mark beside the level!.

I experienced this doing an agent race where i thought i failed 49 Fac A. No cinema came up, said all was completed and it went on to runway. weird thing was.....  IT NEVER SAID BEST TIME!.

I failed the run on s2 by somehow missing the mine throw, and went back to facility. it had no checkmark beside agent, and no best time shown. as if it was never beaten or played.

I have a short and long video of this (facility run, and no checkmark) and the whole agent run up to s2 which is when i went back and looked

any time with this glitch imo should NOT count on the rankings, as the level was never really beaten

So will Trent's 57 count now?

I've had that happen to me before on a speedrun. IMO the "checkmark" thing really doesn't really prove anything. If you beat a level slower than 20:00 the first time you beat it, the game also does not give you a checkmark or save your best time, but allows you to continue with the next mission. If we deem a level incomplete just because it doesn't give you a checkmark or save the best time, then we'd have to remove/discount all times over 20:00 (Yrvin van Wijk's Caverns 00 22:21). We wouldn't want to do that, now would we? :p

Besides, I think Trent said he did another 57 SA when he was trying for 56, and it saved the 57 that time.

"saying" something doesn't prove it.

There's no way to know.  I say if part of the program thinks you beat it, that's what happened... and the other components just didn't get the message.  I'm guessing the glitch happens when you get a tie between the mission ending and an objective completing.  In one module (perhaps, the cinema) they programmed a true-if-less-than-or-equal and for another part just a true-if-less-than.  I prefer this scenario to the random bug notion.  

I'd say the game loading the next level is the biggest indicator, but the point is moot; I think the benefit of the doubt should be awarded when we know a person finished the mission normally.
