A month ago, it was brought to our attention that the full collection of codexes, which is required for the campaign 100% and 100% Natural Masteries categories, is not possible with our current rules. For example, the extra lives tutorial codex cannot be acquired in the Ultra-Nightmare difficulty. This, along with other issues with the tutorial codex, forced us to vote on a solution. Additionally, a quality of life consideration for campaign 100% and 100% Natural Masteries was voted on.

Following these votes the 100% completion rules have been changed. From now on the Doom Blade codex and Tutorial codexes will no longer be required for campaign 100% and 100% Natural Masteries runs. Older runs will be grandfathered. Note: While not stated in the vote, this change also applies to campaign 100% Natural Masteries.

Before your next run, please re-read the rules.

As usual, please visit the discord if you have any questions or comments.

Note: We are aware that the plural of codex is codices, however, to make it clearer for non native English speakers, we have opted for the “codexes” spelling instead.

Recently a vote on the MDSR Discord has lead to the timing rules for Individual Levels and Master Levels being changed. In the upcoming week or so, we will be cleaning up the IL and ML leaderboards to match with the new timing rules, Old runs that do not comply with these rules or where the video submissions do not allow for the runs to be retimed will be removed.

Those rules being that the run will start when the runner gains control of the slayer and end when the runner exits to the menu. Please consult the updated rules in the respective categories if you wish to submit again

Feel free to contact the moderators or ask in our community's discord server for any questions you may have

DESRU is an open source helper tool for doom eternal speedrunner developed by bowsr ( https://www.speedrun.com/user/bowsr ) who also helped develop the autosplitter. It contains tools such as the approved speedrun macro, framerate capping, internet blockage and cheat detection.

Due to a recent vote done on our discord server, it has been decided that this tool will be required for all runs performed on windows in the near future. However, there will be a grace period of 1 week where runs done on windows will still be accepted without DESRU in case major issues are discovered, in order to give bowsr enough time to address them. Please do not wait. Please start using DESRU as soon as possible

For more information regarding DESRU, please visit the appropriate channels in the discord server and take a look at the github page where the download and code is available https://github.com/bowsr/DESRU/releases
