Driving Games - Survival - Fastest Perpetual Stalemate
Score Track	https://www.twingalaxies.com/scores.php?scores=249955
Rules	Any Survival course permitted to be used. Time taken when car comes to a stand still and police are no longer actively chasing. Time taken in whole seconds. Special Rules : Player must leave the game running with the car standing still for at least five minutes to proove the AI is incapable of chase. May be achieved by positioning in location impervious to capture, the disabling of chasing police cars or a combination of both. Use of glitches in the game where the player's gets positioned outside of the area of normal game play and therefore impossible to be reached by the chasing police cars is not allowed.A
Submission Message	Achieved sometime in 2004. Chosen around 46 seconds in. Attempt begins around 22:15. I finally sit still at 1:37 into the attempt (probably could have bumped into one of the poles earlier but that's only occuring to me 18 years later!). Big thanks to @crazymoose3k and to @RaGeNyC for the track sponsorship. :D

In case it isn't obvious: this was originally recorded to VHS and only digitally captured years after when the tape was decaying.

How many of these records you have?

I'm going to abstain because I am not sure when and where the timer is supposed to stop. I looked at the 22:15 mark on but I don't see anything at 1:37.0. I'm just confused here.

This is the last of the set for the PC version of Driver (all of it was from 2004). :) I still have some 2003 emulated recordings to check if they're applicable under TGSAP but, when checking through my archives (2700+ data DVDs), I noticed I'd missed a bunch from the first 100 or so DVDs. So I'm going back over that content.

OK, for this track the idea is to find somewhere to sit so that there's no interaction from the cop cars anymore. The timing occurs when you stop moving but there's the five minute cooldown to be certain that the AI has failed to find you.

One tactic is to sit inside a building (which has doors, so not a glitch) and the AI is too stupid to go through the doors so keeps respawning and crashing into the building. Another tactic is the one I used: the pavement is "off limits" to the cops: unless you drive passed a cop that happens to be on the road then the AI doesn't send any cops your way. The other tactic that I'm aware of is to get all the cops too damaged and next to you: a cop car that you can see will not respawn.

I still see movement in the car in relative position to the building or road as late as 1:41 in the video.
What is the moment that the car comes to a complete stop and no part of the screen updates or a building or road the
position of car. I can't tell as the video shifts too much in the time frame that I think the car comes to a complete stop.
At 1:37 the car is rolling backward until it comes to rest on the building or something maybe around 1:42.
I get a little frustrated with the jumping around as I can't keep my focus long enough to determine.

Thanks, John. Yes, I can see the car moving still at 1:37 so this submission is incorrect. I'll see if I can find a way to fix the video rolling digitally before resubmitting.

Voting No.
