NOTE: Reload dashing doesn't work in Fo3 due to Single-feed animations only being in NV, not because of the ammo types Also 28st of April 2016 💀

currently hatewatching because sharo robbed me of my speedgame

Does that mean the mysterious stranger was just the master of the reload dash?

While it doesn't answer the question of _why_ reload dashing works exactly, what I can tell you is that JE Sawyer has gone on record as saying that the looping reload mechanic was a problem throughout development, with them having to squash bugs with it all the time. In fact, at release there was an issue where you could get stuck in a infinite reload animation. While we don't exactly have specifics, we can probably assume the looping reload code is some real spaghetti.

This is exactly how megajumping works in GTA III. By combining a punching or shooting animation with the jump animation then entering and exiting the replay mode in the game, it will launch you much like a reload dash works. Cool vid jabo 🤘

I've seen this glitch prior to the video when I watched speed runs of this game but had no idea as to the history. I liked it, I think I just assumed it was always around so it was neat to see how things changed over nearly a decade of speed running.

God just imagine that your a settler in the Mojave and looking up and seeing some fucker flying around at ridiculous speeds reloading a revolver thinking “What the FUCK!”

"Speedcripple," is one of the funniest glitch names I've ever heard.

The science behind the reload dash- when the survivor reloads a weapon they enter the reloading animation, if u open up the pipboy during it u cancel the animation(well known), and when the survivor reloads while walking ur character moves forward while reloading (obviously), however when you enter the pipboy while reloading and moving forward the game thinks u should be moving forward cause of the reloading animation so ur hit box moves forward a lil but because u enter the pipboy it makes the character stay in place and the game teleports u to the location it thinks you should've gone based on ur hitbox as compensation, however, it overcompensates it by increasing your movement speed and shifting you in the desired direction which boosts u forward. But what about infinite dash? Well it mashes the character hit box teleportation breaking quicksave, the speed stacking of speedcripple and the initial push of reload dash into a superman dash! Atleast that's what I've pieced together

I love that below the memes, the bullshit and that god forsaken dab emote is still one hell of a knowledgable runner and fan of the series. Top notch content here, dude. Kudos!

12:33 - The music, the video, this is perfection 😂👍🏻 Bethesda needs to hire speedrunners as QA testers

Sharo's runs were the first i ever saw of new vegas and youtube eventually recommended me this channel after watching enough of his videos.

Such a great illustration of speed running technique and history. I was walking through the aisles of Home Depot and felt a sour pain in my stomach. The same dreadful pain of knowing that our days on Earth are numbered. I wondered if my job was good enough, if I saw my family and friends enough. My vision clouded as I tried to hide my burning red face and fight back tears. Counting the tiles on the floor, I made my way to the restroom. The cool water from the sink brought me back into focus like cleaning dirty eyeglass lenses. I took a deep breath and knew that no matter what happens, we are only as good as we feel and those feelings come from within. As my Father said, "No one is looking out for you, but you." I think about that all the time to keep on the righteous path. I will definitely be liking, subbing, and following on Twitch. Thank you. *This review was collected as part of a promotion 9/13/2021*

my favorite glitch in new vegas is a tie between the antimaterial rifle setting people on fire and the laser detonator from lonesome road firing mini nukes infinitely and as fast as a minigun

Dude I have to say I love this commentary type video, you explain things so well, and the style you explain and tone of voice makes listening to this so intriguing, please do more of these, as always awesome video!

I would think the reasoning behind the animation canceling would throw someone so far would be because let's say you did just, fully reload each bullet, when you start, you're at point A, when you're done reloading you are then at point B. Canceling the reload animation attempts to catch you up to where you would be if you did follow through with the whole reload in a linear launch. That's just my two cents though.

From my understanding of several games that have speedruns is that the reload dashing is most likely reserving the momentum you have when you pause and as you're holding it and the pipboy and unequipping and reloading animations cause the game to get confused so it just launches you. A lot of games have glitches just like this and it seems to always be that

my best guess as to why infinite dash works is it could be compounding speed modifiers, akin to speed cripple, as gun in hand, reload, and pipboy exit all have independant mover speeds, plus the already enhanced base movespeed of spped cripple. It causes a loop of speed buffs, and when you clip it creates a false floor hit box, and since the game engine is coded that player moving faster than X speed will bounce off a hit box, it causes a constant flying preventing the speed modifier from resetting to speedcripple speed.

Took your advice from a previous comment and am bingeing your docuseries playlist. Top notch stuff. Been watching your speedrun content for a LONG time and this type of evolution in content is awesome. Much love.

This vid was very enlightening, I loved it! Do never give up bro, I believe at you Prayge

You went all out on the editing on this one and it defiantly paid off! Very engaging, keep it up!👌

I think it has something to do with the game setting "fmoverunmult" which you can change with console default being "4" but set it to "10" and you get the same result. As for reloading as a way to enable it combined with the animation of the pipboy going up being sped up I think it's similar with the slowdown and speedups of animations like how you reload at light speed in vats

Really love these video essay style videos and the editing was top notch. Cant wait to see more Jabo!

I thought the speedcripple worked by giving you the speed “back” without having lost it instead of just stacking normal speed with the cripple speed?

Really good video! I really like this type of content

The first time i saw this was in a comedy run by grayfruit, and stars of the midnight ranger played while he did it. So now thats the iconic song for it in my head.

I searched a few months ago for History of New Vegas speed runs and didn't find anything. This came out shortly afterwards. Thankfully the algorithm fed me eventually

Just discovered your channel and I’m loving the FNV vids!! I’m curious where/how you come up with the soundtracks for these types of uploads?

Can’t tell you what content I think you should make but I can tell you that this was a really enjoyable content, as is the rest of your stuff

Is this perhaps related to the bug you get reloading single feed weapons where if you hold down a movement key throughout the reload animation, and continue to hold it at the end of the animation, your character seems to have a brain fart, they wont fire, VATS doesn't work, and they sort of jostle around for a good 10 seconds before everything "clears up" and you can keep shooting?

Really digging your new channel Summoning Salt!

What was the music at 13:00? Seems like a remix of something

I think that animation walking of reloading is an animation over distance that just after being cancelled be pipboy just instantly activates and moves u to a point where u shouldve ended it normally and with a cripplebug u just end further.

5:23 liking this video for the sole fact that this song made it in. also because the whole vid is aweome! keep doing what you do! you have an exceptional taste in music

i'd like to see a run of Fo3 of this you know, with that mod that came out a few years ago that added the Fo3 game onto New Vegas's slightly fixed engine

Hey, from where is that clip of Victor digging up the Courier from the grave? Is it fan made?

When u hit ground after jumping, u get a tiny speed boost, just jump forward and you go down a tiny bit on impact but u get a tiny speed boost for a split second.

I had a glitch when trying to get to Mr house. The robot in the penthouse was glitched behind some stairs or a wall and I couldn’t continue the quest.

The title: The glitch that broke Fallout New Vegas. Me: Do you know how little that narrows it down?

might be collide with the grenade projectile (like those old valve game, and achieving same effect) while got cripple boost, and reload dashing?

Could the reason for this glitch be: The pip-boy "stops" time, but the game still calculates where the player _should_ be as if the animation played out completely? Hence why direction/momentum MUST be applied before, during, and after the pip-boy. So the game speeds you up to where it thinks you should be. Which is why if you're on flat ground you only go so far. If uphill, you go to space because the game doesn't know what to do with that speed and impact (simply not coded for it, it's not supposed to happen). If downhill you fly straight ahead. As for why it's only single shell reload weapons? Maybe animation length, or improper coding, or both? Clip/magazine reloads could be too fast to where the game either can't or doesn't bother with running said calculation. Or they were coded not to, and single shell was forgotten about or overlooked during testing (game was "rushed" after all)

Ah yes, I experienced immediate nostalgia when I started this video. The audio blasted my eardrums, just like it did in the good ol days when I least expected it Cheers and happy new years all

Seems like an animation speed multiplier is kicking in to make two 1 second animation complete in the required 1 second, the problem seems to be that movement itself is considered one of these animations, so its added in and multiplied along with the weapon reloads that are trying to happen in the fraction of a second between the weapon reloading and the pip boy opening, must have been no way to separate hand movement (reloading) with leg movement (running) a good way to test that would be to stand still when doing it but jump (space bar) instead of forward (w) if that happens it means your whole character animations would be tied into it, like if you could throw something in that window of time like a grenade it would also carry that momentum f4om the arm swing

That save/load trick reminds me one from original Deus Ex, which lets you pass laser beams without setting the alarm. That was before I've discovered that pepper spray let you block lasers...

btw reload dashing works as long as your holding a direction key when opening the pipboy and when closing it. meaning you cal let go of the movement key while in the pipboy but as long as you hold it when you exit the pipboy. i dont know if you knew that. its useful when on controller. im also going to practice block boosting bc i play on xbox and that will be great to use in small distances

I love watching speed runs or have to video is them quitting and reloading into the game

I dont know much about code or anything but maybe all the weapons and such that have different ammo types may all have the same code and possibly switching ammo types and then closing your pipboy adds all the speeds youd have while switching ammo with other weapons multiplicatively it would help explain the extra speed boost with speedcripple

I love how tomato said in GDQ: "in fallout new vegas you become a plane"

Once, I accidentally did the reload dash and wasn't sure how it happened, nor was I able to replicate it. Finally, I have the answer as to how it was done. I'm not a speedrunner, but I'll be sure to use this trick when getting to New Vegas.

From your title, I had no idea this was a Speedrunning vid. I assumed it was just some vid-essay on New Vegas, focusing on the impact of bugs.

When I did it in a less refined way the game lagged so I think the reason it gives you a speed burst is time dilation, it slows down time for you but it is still running it at the same speed in time or something so when you close your inventory it will put you on where you would be without the lag, so therefore it dialates time or something

You know you made a classic game when 10 years later people are still playing it and enjoying the hell out of it. I recently built a gaming pc and am playing it for the first time on PC with patches and mods although it's probably my 30th playthrough overall.

New Vegas was one of the first games I got on PS3. It was the first Fallout I had ever played. And it was glorious

Great content Jabo; Thanks for being so wicked and cool!

7:36 i have this spot saved 'cus it's probably the best actual tutorial for the glitch on the website.

Speedruns are fascinating. Nice video!

This looks similar to the source momentum storing glitch. My guess by holding down a movement key whilst an animation plays (in this case looping animation) which is then cancelled by not only another animation, but the removal of the weapon, (which also stops the character moving forward) the "dash" could be playing/executing all movement frames that would have played whilst the pipboy is open with a multiplier. My guess is that the engine runs a lot faster for some reason with the pipboy open, and due to the engine speed being tied to frame rate, it creates a much larger than expected dash.

28st April xD enjoying your video and praise the yt algo for bringing me here

Ah, you mean the glitch that "broke" it in terms of making speedruns faster, lol. From the title, the first thing I thought of is a glitch I had (and saw others having on KZfaq as well) of the doctor's head from the beginning of the game twisting and spinning around, lol.

The worst glitch is definitely not being able to do the ncr ending if you go to the great khans before they tell you too. That set me back like 3 hours.

12:25 - Never thought to find some great music in your videos :) This track Hit The Road by Toxic Avenger is awesome to listen to

If I'd have known this was about speed runs I wouldn't have pushed play.

Me not watching any speed runs in my life watching the shit out of this video

Just a quick thought about how it works, but has anyone tried getting the Fast Reload perk and seeing if it makes a difference??

I think it's the explosion effect? It throws you a bunch when you get hit right?

commenting for the algorithm 🤏 loved the video jabo! got a couple chuckles outta me and was very informative keep it up! i love this kind of content, hope ya make more when possible 🙏

I actually came into this video knowing most of this stuff thanks to one tomatoangus (the g is silent) and his run of the Fallout Anthology at AGDQ 2020; he finished slightly over estimate, but he still did pretty awesome. :D

I remember like a year ago I casually completed the game in like an hour, and thought I did really well and looked up the speed run time and realized I was very wrong

Can I play Vegas & is there’s glitches I can use on my series x

Nice video! Keep em coming.

kinda reminds me of how in v111 in fallout4 if you die to the electric generator with a baton equipped the baton will be where you died instead of the original stop you find it. also my health was 12 because i wanted to challenge myself

A Bethesda game riddled with bugs? I for one am SHOCKED

Let me guess. Ammo glitch (shoot nukes from any gun) or reload dashing? Also reload dash works on console now cause on series x new Vegas is 60

Been watching your channel for a while, can't believe I haven't subscribed until just now, and when I hit that subscribe button your subs went from 13.8k to 13.9k. Makes me wish there was a way to check if I'm actually your 13, 900th subscriber. That'd be pretty sweet.

i wonder if someone could find a speed thing like this in skyrim.

i think that when you open your pip boy while using w the game thinks that your still walking so when you close your pip boy the game gives you that speed burst

Reject reload dash. *BECOME SANIC THE AIRPLANE*

Great video! That Snowboard Kids Song though.. Somewhat odd choice for a Fallout video IMO. However, I really enjoyed playing Snowboard Kids back in the days.

Maybe being crippled has coding that increases knockback, and because of that there's frames of speed boost where it activates several times per frame but only while connected to the ground. I'm just speculating tho.

Me after seeing the title: Do you have the slightest idea how little that narrows it down ?

Reload dash is as simple as this, your position and momentum are saved when you begin the reload animation, performing a second reload animation causes you to save that position again while it also tries to remember the beginning position all the while doing math to calculate where, then opening your pip boy causes a more solid position save to make sure your character stays moving upon exiting adding those together and then unequipping the original intended weapons causes the system to get confused and it most likely adds the totals together instead of just choosing the medium. However it could be multiplying the wrong totals and accidentally swapping the momentum speed with position and it causes your character to do a quick position readjustment which also multiplies the momentum a second time after causing you to be leveraged off of objects in game, hence flying in the air. i could be wrong but im also not good at explaining things

It's finally here! So much teasing! Love the vid Jabo and love you too

my theory is that you build up momentum while going forward in the pit boy and because of speed cripple you gain more momentum faster

The way reload dashing works probably the game guesses the distance you'd have finished the reload but once interrupted and holding a movement input but the games can't comprehend it so it just shoots forward to get the distance you'd have traveled but crazy fast.....(probably)

These people flying and breaking all known laws of science, while I have problems keeping the game from crashing.

Fantastic video, liked and subbed

- So are you saying New Vegas is basically just Morrowind? - Always has been.

Great video Jabo, keep it up!

Quicksaving+quickloading to glitch through walls and doors has been known since Oblivion. It's a glitch with the Gamebyro engine

OMG! It's JAYBOH. Poggers, luhmao, 10 yeahs, etc, etc. commenting for the algorithm.

That's so slow, my fastest speed run of New Vegas was my first play through. I stepped out the house after allocating my stats and frozed with a time of 1m23 seconds and never touched the game since.

I have a theory (well partial theory) - the reload animation is somewhat dependent on gun condition and what type of weapon it is.. As in, a damaged weapon takes longer to reload from empty. But what you're doing here is swapping ammo types, which always takes the same amount of time for any weapon (almost instantaneously). Let's say you're reloading a 9mm pistol and it takes 4 seconds (just pulling a number out of thin air for this example), but the Ammo Swap always happens within 2 seconds. So in order to have the character move fast enough to complete an ammo swap quicker than the reload, the overall movement rate is increased. The longer the weapon reload time, the greater the discrepancy between Reloading and Ammo Swap. That's why the revolver seems to work the best here - it's trying to squeeze you loading in 6 rounds into the set time the Ammo Swap takes. And opening the PipBoy interrupts it, but leaves the lingering movement rate boost in play for a second or two. So that burst of speed is leftover from when the game momentarily sped up the character's movement rate, that's why if you're already running forward, your run speed gets increased for less than a second. So I think the engine is trying its best to squeeze an animation that had a time dependent on weapon type/condition into the set period of time an Ammo Swap takes. I suppose one way to test it would be to compare the degree of speed boost you get with a revolver at 100 percent condition versus a damaged one, and also compare it to something that takes a ton of time like Fat Man or Missile Launcher. Again, just a theory. I could completely wrong here...

Personally, i think this is caused because, somehow, everything in the game pasues, but not your character's location, it keeps moving foward, so when you pull out the pipboy, the game drags you all the way to where the new character location point is supposed to be, because of the momentum of being dragged to the new point, it sends you flying, it just an idea, i haven't play NV in a while nor do i have it installed.

there is a cool glitch southwest of nipton, where a dead centaur falls from the sky

My steam account has 574 hours on it, its the "Oh boy, sure would be fun to play again" copy and not my original "Gotta 100% this shit" copy on Xbox360.

Nice video! Enjoyed it very much, and I don't even play Fallout New Vegas.

My least favorite bug (besides cazadores) is whatever bug caused my playthrough to completely corrupt, removing all of my data, which includes dead money

when in the beginning the screen turned black I thought my Game Crashed 💀

It is Jabo

My favorite glitch to this day is getting your barter high, getting a weapon of good condition as well as poor, and cleaning out Gun Runners for caps and gear😂😂
