The previous world record for the run only dropped below four hours five months ago, at three hours 52 minutes. It’s currently only available on the Windows edition of the game.
“I've been searching for this kind of glitch for over 3 years on and off now,” they write. Powdinet writes that this isn’t necessarily the “optimal” way to pull off the glitch, and it will likely be improved “at some point” anyway. But don’t worry too much about the specific steps. Players have to complete certain missions, kill NPCs for cash, and get specific haircuts. There’s a lot that needs to be done – and therefore that can go wrong – during that time. They do this by basing it on the in-game time of 7:46pm, but there’s no way to tell if it worked for 20 or so minutes afterwards. In order to get the game to access the right bit of script, they have to access the mission Vigilante and then cancel it between 82070ms and 82093ms after beginning the game. The mission speedrunners want, obviously, is the last one, so that they can finish it and wrap the game as quickly as possible. With the ability to execute any line of script code, we can warp to any mission we want.” “The short story is that starting Vigilante during a certain part of the mission Ryder makes the game jump to an arbitrary line of script…depending on a variable that is linked to the time since the game started. The explanation was posted to Reddit by a user called Powdinet last week. You can see the new record-setting run below.
It’s a breezy 40-step thing which includes instructions like “reset if no cop bike before 7:46,” “Avoid Vending Machines,” and “just get lucky loool.” Speedrunning is good. But that time’s been slashed down to a blink-and-you'll-miss-it 25 minutes thanks to a new trick discovered this week. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas once took almost four hours to speedrun, even in the anything-goes Any% category.
