G0es and I have recently been talking about how exactly Iron Brigade IL times are found.
We both agree that the best option for the In Game Time is what’s displayed after each mission on the Together We Stood Victorious page following the Spoils Of War page.
During an optimal campaign run you would be skipping this on the PC version thanks to the trick discovered by Apinardo. So how do you determine an IL time without that? I’ve been checking across a number of levels and it seems each mission time is the duration of the level between first frame or in some cases what seems to be the first frame following roughly 1 second of fading in from black following the loading screen to when the Victory! In x graphic appears.
So ideally IL runs displaying the above is appreciated but if it’s not included we will cross reference with previous runs of that level to ensure we’re doing our best to time it as the game would. For 1st place times that are close together, submissions with the milliseconds are also encouraged.
