Seed: "R421-UEGQ-QJH42C8KK52" - Claire A scenario, I got the cutscene where the zombies come through the broken windows while I was on the staircase in the Library as Jill. When the cutscene was over, I was stuck in midair and couldn't leave.

(Loading the save file would help here, only if you're able to save prior to the cutscene)

what you could do is to fall over the floor on the library that way you could prevent yourself from getting stuck

I don't think it can be fixed, cuz entering the library through different doors can cause the triggered cutscene to work in a wrong way.
So my advice is dont walk down the stair in that situation cuz the cutscene would always happen when you enter the library in b scenario.

As much as I love this rando, I feel like the balancing needs work. I picked the least hard option on the difficulty scale and got a TON of Ivys, yes I know they are slow, but they tend to be in big packs in tight areas, and when you dont have alot of ammo those Ivys can really be overwhelming. Fantastic rando but too many Ivys on easy mode.

I would prefer them to do the bug fix first. I love this rando so I played with it alot. playing through many seeds help me see that there are still a lot of bugs need to get fixed. :D

Yes. Ivys can be pretty tough for many reasons, being on par with Lickers/Mr.X.
In tight hallways it's not easy to dodge. And the damage. If they hug you, you can avoid getting damage mashing fast, but it requires some practice.. And if you don't have "fire" to kill those, it will take a lot of ammo.

I have a few suggestion to make the rando more enjoyable:
1/ Make sure the music in save room is a random save room theme from a re game.
2/ Make sure the music played in boss fight always be a random epic boss battle theme from a re game.

Report: R423-EJEU-ZJZE1QZKK51
OK so you DON"T fix the tyrant bug yet, and once again I ran into a seed in which I enter rooms that would require me to do some puzzles that would trigger Mr X cutscenes, which will result in him destroying some rooms and make those rooms unaccessible.
Luckily I know something like this would likely happen so I saved before I touched those puzzles. After putting out the fire on the helicopter, my game crashed when I tried to enter room 109. I then reloaded my save, skipped all the puzzles that would trigger those cutscene (puzzles with lighter and the valve) and guess what, I can finally enter that curse room. That's the only way I can move forward without being crashed and stuck forever.
Also this is the most unfair seed I've ever seen in my life. Have to go through like 20 dogs in narrow hallways without finding any bullet.
Pls fix the existing bugs first before trying with new ideas.

I started off with a Colt S.A.A. Through the debug menu to give it a little more randomizing. Would it be possible to randomize the starting weapon as well? (Give this post a + if you want it too!)

I Played it as Rebecca and DANG! It was good! You even got their voices in properly! The Door Randomizer is crisp, but I did notice it sometimes gives an item more than once. The randomizer here is a ton of dogs and lots of faster weapons, thus the name "Rebecca's Ruff Randomizer". Youtu.be

I'm pretty sure most of the bugs I faced on B scenario are created by Mr.X cutscenes.
I used to ask you to check out the bug with Sherry in lab elevator remember? I enter the elevator but sherry was there with me and it forces me to always use masterkey to go to the train section (which isn't accessible in rando) thus creates a soft lock. Now I know what triggered that bug. If you enter the power room in which Mr.X tries to attack Sherry and gets fall into the lava pool, that cutscene will trigger sherry event and she's always be with you when you enter the lab elevator.
Now the cause of problems are found, I hope you can fix it ASAP. Thanks.

Also I think there's some feature missing with the new biorand.exe.
Back then when I close biorand and re-open it, all the settings I adjusted last time was still there.
Now, if I close the app and open it again, everything is set back to default, with a new seed too. And thus I have to adjust everything again.
Back then when I finish a seed, I just need to open biorand and chose a new seed. All other settings I make before are kept, and I don't have to adjust anything except the seeds.
So I hope you would add that feature back again in the new update.

Seed: R420-YMXW-ZTX72EBLL83

I have absolutely no clue where the Eagle Medal is. There are only a handful of rooms to go to, and there is no sign of the Eagle Medal or the room it's supposedly in. I'd at least like to get an idea so I won't have to debug key items into my inventory whenever something like this happens.

Also, the weapon placement can become lopsided, an example would be this seed. Leon gets almost all the guns, while Claire seems to only be saddled with the handgun. I've gotten some other seeds so far with stingy gun placements.

The log doesn't help if I can't even find the room it's supposed to be in.

1) open log file
2) Ctrl + F search keyword "eagle" , if necessary , press [enter] in search windows box several time to search more "eagle" result.
3) you might find the room number which has "eagle" word.
4) use debug teleport to that room number

Report: R421-AL12-ZJZE0QZKKB1, Scenerio B with Leon
YES, ANOTHER SEED IN WHICH MR.X'S EVENTS RUIN EVERYTHING

So once again, I meet a seed in which I have to put out the fire on the helicopter early on in order to make progress, which ultimately blocks my access to room 109 and 20c. Luckily I was still able to finish the B run, but I need to use debug menu and read the seed log to avoid entering those room and jump into rooms that those rooms connected to.

Here's my solution: make sure in scenerio B we will always enter room 109 and 20c before we gain access to the helicopter area (room 108 I believe) in a seperated segment. That way once we reach the helicopter we will never have to go through 109 and 20c again.

REPORT: R421-J7EB-ZTRE4NZLLB1

LEON B - WOLF MEDAL NOT IN 601? I couldn't find it and no MR x ENCOUNTER happened during that hallway. Hope this report helps :D

R421-PVET-XNX73EBLL82

In Leon B, Ada replaces the Sherry NPC in the hallway before the library. When she runs to the red door down the hall in the cutscene, she continuously runs about, softlocking the game. Using the debug menu to reload the room doesn't help, as every time you come into the room, you have to let the cutscene play anyway.

This actually happens if you enter the room from the hall with the STARS office, but entering from the main hall seems to mitigate it.

Seed: R421-8XUC-ZJZC0QZKK31, B run on Leon.
Mr.X caused game crash in my run again. :(
In short, this is how the bugs work:
- Solving the puzzle in room 20D will make the game crash when I enter room 20c.
- Solving the puzzle in room 108 will make the game crash when I enter room 109.

Pls tell me you already know how to fix this. :(

We're doing the best we can with the free time we have.
Most of the cutscenes should be fixed in the next update.

First of all love the rando done both Leon A and Claire A and no issues at all was so much fun!

Had a few issues running Leon B

Seed - R421-VTQG-ZTE9GLZL300

When I done the cog puzzle and Mr X burst through the wall, i killed him and this caused going back to the red corridor where he bursts through the wall again to crash, couldn't enter even via teleport. I was able to avoid by not doing cog puzzle room as wasn't a key item in there.

Further on game would crash when attempting to enter 2F corridor at from any direction where mr x normally crashes through the roof for the first time. The cutscene had happened earlier after using valve to put chopper fire out. Was able to teleport around to proceed but crank was in there so had to debug in.

Thanks for all the effort put into this rando hope the feeback helps.

Cheers!

I get a softlock everytime I come to the prison cell for the prisoner death cutscene. The cutscene never finishes and he just stands there. Multiple seeds

Not sure if this is a bug or not, but in RE2 when entering the car park, Ada is always replaced by Sherry wearing Claire's jacket. I've run a lot of randos recently on this patch and have yet to see her replaced with anyone else

RE1 Randomized Seed: R410-CAGK-V12T3QLH1ZZ, Chris scenario

In Room 111 (the corridor containing the shield key door), the yawn that spawns in the room crashes with a mere random dialogue from Rebecca right before it freezes the whole game. This hasn't been the first time it has happened, but it's gotten to the point where I just can't beat multiple seeds for the same reason.

In Jill's scenario, I've even gotten a seed in which that same particular yawn type crashes the game with a dialogue sound from Jill herself. The other yawn type, which I'm guessing is the one you'd usually encounter for the first time from the attic, doesn't crash the game. However, the one that spawns that you'd usually fight on the lonely piano room, (which is the one that creates a hole in the ground), is the one that tends to crash the game entirely since it's obvious enough when you see smoke coming from the ground right before the game freezes and the log itself says that it's supposed to be Yawn that spawns.

There have been other strange things like certain key items spawning twice or multiple small keys having infinite uses. Not sure if these are intended to prevent potential softlocks, but that's pretty much it.

Other than all of the above, I've been having a blast, especially adding my own custom tracks, which are over 300 now from at least twenty different games! Took me hours, even days to edit and convert them one by one, but it was all worth it in the end. Loving everything about this multi-rando! Can't wait to see RE3 in action with this! :D

How can i play as sherry and ada in this rando or is it impossible? I watched someone on twitch and the character they played was randomized. So i'm just curious if i can play Sherry or Ada.

1)open debug menu ->utility menu->player-> select ada
2)press [esc] close debug menu
3)after opened door , it should change the character you choose.
4)run debug menu at the beginning of the game to change the player. otherwise all the items in your "pocket" will clear to zero.
5)some weapons might crash the game if you changed the player.
