Hi all, it's come to our attention that the current implementation of loadless times is flawed for Yakuza 5 PC. A lot more than just loads (seems to be all fadeouts) are being removed from the timer as well. So unfortunately, I do have to remove all of the set loadless times thus far so only the RTA portion remains (no runs will be removed entirely, however). This will also affect current and future submissions until we can confirm a better working version of the load remover. The changes will come in the following days. Sincere apologies for the inconvenience.

Hi all, this is RyuHousen, a newly appointed mod for Yakuza 5 (and some other Yakuza games as well). For my first action as moderator, I have moved all times to their respective categories between PC and console runs. Nothing else regarding the runs should have been changed. As a load remover has been developed by streetbackguy and Hoxi for Yakuza 5, I have also enabled "time without loads" to be submitted and modified the timing rules as follows:

"For PC runs, you MUST use the provided load remover by Livesplit (any run with a load remover that removes the title cards from the timer will be rejected). For console runs, you MUST submit your time ONLY under "time with loads"."

For the recent PC runs already on the board that had load removers, I believe it is fair to leave them as is and NOT count the loadless times in those runs, as the change was not made official until now.

That is all.
