There is no timer i wouldn't really count this. And it seems you would have startet the timer later than me in my run so if i retime my run to start at the first frame of the game i think i wouls still be faster than you.
Nah that's a well known glitch. Look at Low%
So first of all i just wanted to ask, why running the game of a hard drive/other form of storage medium isn't allowed? Most runs of the game on PC aren't played with a legitimately copy of the game. Or is it maybe because of the different load times for the game? Which wouldn't make sense anyway since between consoles the load times are different anyways. Lastly if the Load Times are the problem i don't understand why the Console versions of the game are only RTA and not LRT? (Sorry if my english isn't the best)
