Have feedback? New ideas for features inside the popover? Let's discuss!
Thread for discussing the load remover + autosplitter I posted in resources :) https://www.speedrun.com/RoboCop_Rogue_City/resources/9zmu2
Please test and let me know if there are any issues. Also if any developer would like to take over this ASL, be my guest. I don't plan on putting a ton of work into it, I just didn't see anyone else working on one and figured i'd get the basics working :)
Should pause on loads and split on every map change (when you go between interiors/exteriors)
Today we are extremely excited to announce the $10,000 speedrun challenge for Ghostrunner 2! We have been working heavily with 505 Games these last months to put together an awesome challenge for you, which can read more about here!

Feel free to leave feedback on the new site rewrite in this thread or a new ticket over at https://www.speedrun.com/support/tickets/new!
Hey everybody!
Earlier today we posted some tweets, and I've personally been discussing with some people over in Discord this afternoon.
As said in the title, we're launching a new and updated Speedrun site next week, the result of nearly a year's work to address major bugs, improve features, and make the website more accessible to everyone. I'm gonna be posting all the same details I've posted on Twitter inside this thread as well for those of you who don't have Twitter or aren't in our Discord :)
For now, gonna keep this thread locked just until I can get all the feature details posted at which point I'll unlock it so we can discuss - but of course feel free to discuss beforehand as well!
P.S. Thread is now unlocked! Site is being released soon :)

So I wrote another article about the demos I played that I think have speedrunning potential. Have you played any that you want to try to run, or are looking forward to the full game for runs? Let's discuss!

New article is up about the recent Imgur announcement, TLDR some guides or forum posts with embedded images on SRC may be affected.

Also, if you believe there is another service you would recommend over the ones I’ve put in the article here - please let me know :) We can open a discussion about what best alternatives there are, and perhaps I’ll make some edits to the article.
Hey everyone :)
You may have noticed the numbers on the /games page are significantly higher than they were just yesterday.
As it turns out, the old algorithm to determine Active Players did not account for IL runners (and some other stuff) - this has now been fixed!
You will also notice that player stats will match up between the /games page and any respective leaderboard :)
Enjoy your weekend everybody!
