When Rockstar Perfectly Broke GTA V - The Speedrun Version

Rockstar has updated the game hundreds of times but they only broke the game (in a good way) once. It probably isn't when you expect, as GTA V bucks the trend that most speed games have developed over time. I am surprised Rockstar hasn't fixed the issues with the latest version but we speedrunners are perfectly happy living in the past...

[@DarkViperAU]

The climbing and changing camera difference turned out to be VERY relevant as it allows us to clip into some buildings. To clarify with the "no waves" on 1.27. A single mission doesn't exactly get rid of the waves by itself. I just could never get them to dissappear in testing without doing a mission. It is unknown exactly what causes them to vanish, likely gameplay as opposed to passage of time, but for the speedrun it is largely irrelivant because they are gone by the time you get to los santos in a new game and we don't restart our games mid run so we have no waves through the entire game.

My guide to downgrade the game still works (there is one more step in the comments)

[@jamescahn87]

Hey i dont know if you've ever mentioned this but i just stumbled upon a sweet glitch. During the Cleetus sniping mission, after popping the tires if you race ahead and beat him to the rooftop for the coyote part, he just leaves after he catches up and the mission essentially gets "stuck". You can take this time to fly into fort zancudo and steal a P996 Lazer and store it at the sandy shores airfield. Just park it in the hangar, run a decent ways away from it, and sticky bomb yourself. You'll fail the mission, but after finishing it correctly you'll have the p996 still stored at the hangar!! Update: It doesnt seem to respawn after flying away in it and returning,though, like it would if you stole it out of the base during normal gameplay. :/ Update2: If you taxi the jet onto the runway, save the game, then fly off and reload the game, it puts you in the jet on the runway with another jet in the hangar. This way you can go mess around and if the one you're in gets destroyed youll at least have another one.

Also in your clip, the bug happened once, you went back into the road, and the bug didn't occur again. For me however, this was never the case. The bug for me kept on happening.
