[QUOTE="relaxation, post: 227478, member: 5759"] Since your inbox is full, I don't know what your connection speed might be but I know how to get video recording sizes down, and what to use. [url=http://i.imgur.com/CYGVaLv.png]Comparisons made[/url], [i]the (R/F)*1000/FPS coloumn gives each setting an efficiency value (lower is better)[/i]. I believe if you're still using DX9 then you'll likely want to record with a lossless codec (200+Mbps), you can half your compression times and filesize by cutting the framerate in half. my 6hr38m BoP 720p 60fps video compressed at a speed of 82.1FPS, took 291 minutes to reduce it's filesize to 9.35% of what it was, 139GB of OBS NVENC material, to about 13GB. To get a clearer picture for what a 6hr38m game might be in a lossless recording, size wise, we'll take (139GB*6, 50Mbps to 300Mbps)... 836GB raw. So those asking top players to record a full length video might be asking a lot, at least on some tables. [i]I personally don't think a crossplatform leaderboard is appropriate to begin when each platform has their own discrepancies. Why? When someone asks how to complete a goal and I show them the location on where to shoot for a rebound to make the shot easier and consistant and they reply "that shot doesn't work on mobile". The game is different on each platform so why should we compare apples to oranges?[/i] [MENTION=3745]vikingerik[/MENTION] convince yourself by going to my [i]Emulated analog input on PC[/i] link, use softer nudges like analog stick players and mess around with it. Yeah it isn't 'real pinball' but if you want to top this games leaderboard you have to play this game using all of its resources. Not everyone has the tilt meter available to them (pro pack). If we want to complain PC doesn't play like real pinball, there's other glaring problems that don't play like 'real pinball' either that could be as equally important to gameplay as nudging. [i]As for cheating I find it highly unlikely.. if you're going to go the route of cheating you take the path of least resistance, elaborate schemes to legitmize a cheated score seems like waaay too much work. I don't think anyone values this games leaderboard enough to purchase this whole game to cheat, there's no real incentive.* *outside of trolling, for ~20usd I could legit troll zens top10 leaderboard on some tables with asciiart steamnames[/i] [/QUOTE]
