My pc is slow and sometimes it's takes like 30 seconds to load so can I please pause the timer in between episode?
I do feel like in-game time would be a good idea
I realize I'm a little late to the discussion on this, but I'd be inclined to agree that the IGT would be better, since the game would almost definitely load differently depending on your system
I can tell you no person wants to manually add time together just for all inputs and also it would be LRT not IGT
My bad, this is my first time seriously speedrunning or trying to contribute to a community, I hadn't heard of the LRT before. That's pretty neat.
And yeah absolutely, nobody would want to do that manually
IGTs (In-game time) and/or LRT (load remover time) would only be an advantage to the PC category. The console category will have a hard time figuring out how to time IGT unless they want the leaderboard mods to do so, which will put more weight on their shoulders if this ever happens. So we time everything on RTA (real time attack) to make everything fair. To be honest, would wish to have some kind of IGT/RTA to actually pause the timer to go to the bathroom or amend some kind of needs but that would 1. ruin the speedrun, and 2. there's ample time on the unskippable cutscenes to do so.
