Attempting to speed run is far more difficult than i thought. And I am speed running one of the easier speed runs in the game (Episode 1 Mission 1).
Looking at http://speeddemosarchive.com/Doom.html, and seeing the top speed run record of E2, E2 of 14 seconds makes my speed run record look terrible by comparison (my record so far being 22 seconds). I actually got 19 seconds as my fastest time but I forgot to press the record button so no one will believe me without proof.
You can clearly see in my strafe running isn’t refined whatsoever but it has gotten slightly better recently. My biggest issue however in this mission is lining up with the triggers hit marker so being able to strife properly will probably only save me a couple seconds. Like most speed DOOM runners I set the difficulty to medium and disabled any cheats.
When trying to record my run with the project 3 diameters, i was unable to. It would simply show its error message and do nothing. The solutions i found online, only worked for windows XP and 7. SO as of now I only have this high res GIF.
I’m probably not the only one to do this speed run but if any one beats my unofficial 19 second time, i will be highly impressed.
