I recently submitted a doom 2 demo but I can't see it on dsda archive leaderboard,anyone knows why?

It's been a week

check the feed tab and notice when the last update was. It sometimes takes a while as I believe there is only currently one active updater. It's not exactly consistently updated at certain times or anything, just whenever they can.

I've already said this before, but please do NOT post the same demo twice. Posting it twice will not make it more likely to be uploaded if there's a pause in the upload process. 

 

Edit: this demo doesn't sync anyway, so it's not eligible for DSDA.

UV MAX MAP01 DOOM 2 in 0:50.51

lv01-051.zip - Map01 of Doom 2, UV-Max in 51 seconds.zip

Please name your files something more reasonable. For one, you don't even have the right time in the zip file (it's 0:50, so should be 050 in the zip), and just lv01-050.zip would be sufficient. Not only is the rest of the filename too long, but it has .zip twice, and spaces, which are generally a bad idea in filenames.

You're right, I didn't read correctly how to upload the file. Thank you always for your patience. Should I upload the file again or leave it?

No worries on this file, I renamed it myself and uploaded it already. This was just for future reference.

Survive in Hell should be "si"
Machete should be "mach"

Slaughterfest 3 should be "sf3"

updated with the new names. thankfully the android app 'RAR' gives you the ability to rename the files inside as well as the zip file.

Some Plats styled demos from my prehistoric demo era (2020 and early 2021) to translate more of my complete demo history to DSDA, I wouldn't watch these if I were you:

 

Cryogenics Map01 UV-Max in 16:56:

Cryogenics Map02 UV-Max in 11:14:

 

cryo01m1656.zip

cryo02m1114.zip

 

Map03 isn't here because I missed monsters in it, and Map04 I also tried but the ending was too hard for me at the time, maybe I'll try to demo it again in 2024.

 

Nochance UV-Max in 53:37: 

 

noch01m5327.zip

 

SlaughterMAX UV-Max demo pack (Map10-15):

 

smax_demos_kinetic.zip

 

I didn't demo the other maps for some reason, and I didn't even play any maps after Map32 I don't think IIRC.

 

Stardate 20x6 UV-Max demo pack (all maps):

 

stardate20x6_demos_kinetic.zip

 

Stardate 20x7 UV-Max demo pack (01-05, 07-08):

 

stardate20x7_demos_kinetic.zip

 

I didn't demo Map06 because I literally forgot what map I was on after I demoed Map05 and took a break, so I thought Map07 was the next map after I came back. Map09 I missed monsters on it so that demo isn't here. Map31 and 32 I also didn't demo or play for some reason.

 

Wormwood EU UV-Max demo pack (01-04):

 

wormwoodEU_demos_kinetic.zip

 

I also demoed Swim with the Whales Map03 but I must have named the wad file something else at the time for some weird reason because it won't run with swtw.wad. It was also a very slow demo btw.

Renaming a WAD is still eligible for DSDA, as long as it syncs. Up to you if you want to post it, though.

Do you mean vertical sync needs to be enabled?

So is the demo legitimate?

No, the demo does not play back for me.

No, you probably have an old version of the IWAD, so it does not play back.

You'll want to purchase the IWAD on Steam or GOG and use that.

Hey, a couple things:

  • I suggest moving to the latest DSDA-Doom for recording. PrBoom+ is not recommended. Also, please mention the version of the port in the txt.
  • Dying and restarting with space is not allowed for speedrun demos. You need to restart the map from scratch. In PrBoom+, that requires reopening the port; DSDA-Doom (alongside Woof and Crispy) supports in-game restart, which is another reason I suggest moving to it.
