Hey there,

I thought about using RTA for full game runs, instead of the current janky way of the sum of IGT timing

it has some pros and cons:

• will allow resets in the middle of the run

• time will include map loading

considering that the campaign has not been routed yet, what are your thoughts?

I definitely think it should be RTA. No resets seems like a harsh restriction, and doesn't feel in the spirit of Any%.

We agreed to use LRT (Load Removed Time) as the default/main method for all runs (similar to RTA but without loading times). The IGT (In Game Time) method is still worth calculating but will be secondary and down to anyone who would like to sort the leaderboard that way.

The main reason for that choice is that some bugs and tricks (such as using fall damage) allow pausing the In-Game timer which isn't representative of the time spent in front of the screen.

Full details can be found in the Retiming guide for IGT & LRT.
