    In this installment of SPEEDRUN EXPLAINED, I go over how I (along with other speedrunners) beat Starfield in just over 30 minutes. This run utilizes several glitches and exploits, including an exploit to steal a lot of credits quickly, ways to clip out-of-bounds, a major sequence break to skip over halfway through the game, faster boost pack usage, skipping the landing animations, and more. Nothing can defeat this game’s vast quantity of loading screens though.

      Does changing the loading pics fix the hang on load glitch (where even on an ssd it'll take 5-10 minutes to load) or did you just get lucky, or do you not have to deal with it at all? No kidding in the last month I've got the hang on load glitch in Morrowind, NV, FO4, Skyrim and Starfield lol. I heard somewhere, tried, and found out you can actually insta load by alt-tabbing out and then back into the game, but its still pretty annoying lol.
      So if anyone is hanging on the load screen for longer than it normally takes, alt-tab out then back into the game and it'll load instantly

      ​@@JK-gm6kk but the thing is, it'll likely still be faster than you manually walk to the destination. And like most space themed games load all the time anyway, they just hide it better with an animation but that actually wastes more time.
      Also if you really wish to play most of the games from the last 5 years on HDD, be sure to use one that has enough spare space and is defragmented properly.

    • @FlameRat_YehLon
      @FlameRat_YehLon 3 місяці тому

      That means you didn't actually play the game yet. As long as you have some progress in the game 99% of the time you fast travel from land to land without going into the space and is actually way faster than most space themed games that forces you to launch into the space, jump to another system and land back to the planet whenever you fast travel.
      Also having to load into a room allows the room to have way, way more detail. Just look at how empty most of Cyberpunk 2077's interior is, and seamless interior feels really not worth it.

    I hadn't watched any starfield speedruns before but I'm surprised you didn't skip the train leaving the station animation, I found out how to do that accidentally while playing and thought for sure it would be used in speedruns. always fun to jump in front of the train so it loads immediately because I assume it can't move? I dunno saves some time when having to run to the gun store but it's not a significant time save for the run lol
    edit: lmao the emissary sequence break. I got Sam in my first playthrough, that quest was so confusing to me but I guess it really is you choosing who's gonna get killed in that universe. I interacted with Sam cause he was the closest. really excellent video, this was super fun to watch.

    I know you say it every video but this one really hit me.
    Just over a month ago it felt like my whole life ended. My finacé broke off our engagement and told me everything he hated about our relationship. I miscarried our baby, then I found out he had been cheating on me for well over a month before he left. I lost my home, my future husband, my child, and myself in the span of a week.
    I’ve been feeling like giving up, not fighting to wake up every day and act like I’m okay, like I can just keep pushing forward, like I can move on. Today I was at the end of my rope ready to just fully give up. I used to watch your channel nearly every day but with everything that has happened I stopped. I am so glad I clicked your video today and I am so thankful that you remind us every video that we are worth it. Thank you Tomato for keeping me going

      Everytime I see a new video I'm giddy waiting for that little break. I could really have used something like that in a similar situation years back. I'll be honest most of the video subject matter couldn't be farther from my usual interests but just hearing it and then going to see the comments and get the affirmation that real people actually are reached nz a dude called tomatoanus and exhibit true thankfulness in a bad situation makes me so happy. Of course I wish it wouldn't be necessary and noone should need to hear that but that is reality, sadly. To you personally, from the bottom of my heart, my best wishes and be well. It's a struggle now and but it will get better. Perhaps not in the way you would like right now, perhaps you struggle with the why, but it will get better, promise. Much love, and keep fighting.

It's nice that it helps some people, but for you there's likely nothing anyone can say to you to make you feel better. It's totally on you. Just a tip, most people semiconsciously delude themselves into believing themselves and their lives to be better than they actually are. Learning to do that was my breakthrough moment, and my god is it effective. Just observe happy and self-assured people and how they behave in borderline nonsensical ways. You need a narrative that takes precedence over reality. You can refuse it on principle, too, but I feel obliged to tell you it's an option.

      One last reply for anyone reading these:
      Once again...nothing about your personal life makes it ok to harass,insult and berate others into self harm. Especially when you have 0 insight into the life of the person you are speaking to. Since you didn't address that bit.
      I have seen no one here "berating people for choosing death" as you said. It feels like you have a problem with other people over this topic in your personal life perhaps,but here: I've only seen you insulting and pushing what *you* want others to do.
      You come across as someone who seems to think they've gained objective enlightenment about the human experience when you very blatantly are just projecting what you think other people's experiences of their own lives are onto them and then suggesting that only one choice and outlook is the correct one (all while throwing insults and using belittling language towards them,not to forget.)
      This brand of bullying and the "logic" you're employing is absolutely nothing new and makes the person who uses them look like a kid begging for attention and to make themselves feel superior. It's school yard level bullying. Pretending it's anything but that and trying to thinly veil it like you were offering up any kind of philosophical counter point to people just saying some uplifting words to each other is the real insult...
      I have no idea if you are a 13 year old kid,and I'll never know,but that's the same level of thought you've shown me goes into your words so I can only assume.
      Everything in life *is* made up by us,so why choose to be hurtful to others when you have a choice to just...not be?
      You can make up whatever meaning to it you want,why choose this?
      I won't be responding again. Hope that question gets serious thought put into it.

    Boosting being faster when bound to literally any other key is the kind of bug that I would *love* to know the inner workings of. Like, that's just so stupid. So utterly bonkers. It has to have some kind of story behind it.
