Thanks for the trainer!
If I could have a request though, it'd be to freeze timer.
I just can't get past the Rustler's Run quest. Character keeps running into leaves, grass and rarely branches and stopping completely, or from all my efforts not to run into a strand of grass that blocks movement I end up following the trail shown rather than the map and veer off course for too long.
If at least there was a working speed cheat, perhaps I could just run the race myself
A trick I found for racing horses that might not be immediately apparent is that holding W forces the horse to turn to where you're looking, and A and D force a more rapid (and harder to control!) turn. As far as Rustler's Run itself, the trail is actually pretty close to the fastest way to get through it, although there's one spot that it forks around a bush you have to watch out for - maybe try jumping over it? It's tricky though, I agree.
Seconded. Hold down W and use A&D for steering, just use the mouse to look where you're going. If you can, don't slow down. Keep the meter on the right at full for the whole race. Using A&D will help, just keep your eyes open for more obstacles. Most of them you can get around without much of a penalty to your time. I finished that quest with 30 seconds to spare using this method.
Back to the thread, having said that, I wouldn't mind requesting an option to freeze the timer. I wouldn't mind doing some more of the horse races, but I really hate timers. There's a couple other timed missions in the game which you can't avoid too.

Thing is, I tried that already and still failed the quest.
I'm having such a bad luck in it. I keep running into bushes and such.
It's a wonder how my horse can easily knock aside a charging fullsized adult male Rhino, knock an entire wall of barrels and chests, and yet a simple twig stops it dead in its tracks.
