2025 Mass Leaderboard Retiming & Twitch VOD Deletion

Greetings, all! Lots to discuss today...

2025 Mass Leaderboard Retiming

Over the past few months, MrPonytale has been assessing the entirety of our leaderboard, frame counting every single submission, hunting for VOD reuploads and dead links, and keeping track of incorrect dates, versions, EverDrive runs and everything in between. This is an incredible amount of work, but thanks to Pony, we should now have an excessively accurate board spanning all the way back to the very beginning of DKR's time here on Speedrun.com.

The vast majority of retiming runs resulted in a one second time save. So congratulations to everyone who PB'd by one second this weekend! This time save is typically due to inaccuracies in starting/stopping the timer. When frame counted, these little discrepancies often knock you up or down a few milliseconds. Since most of our boards do not measure in milliseconds, we get to award you a tiny bit of time save. Or, time loss, in some cases! You can see every retime for every category here.

Along with these updates, all Emulator runs submitted long ago have been removed from the boards. These runs were not wholesale deleted, but instead just retroactively rejected. This allows moderators to hold onto board history while also making sure placement is kept accurate. DKR remains a console only SRC board.

Going forward, the mod team will be retiming all submitted runs using a retiming tool such as somewes's Frame Count tool, or the YouTube Frame Timer. If you'd like to perform this retiming yourself, you can do so very easily by following Pony's DKR Retiming Tutorial.

Twitch VOD Deletion

Many runners submit their RTA PBs by way of Twitch Highlights, and unfortunately, Twitch has decided to implement a 100 hour storage limit across Highlights and Uploads. So for those of us who have been streaming and speedrunning for a long time, some of our oldest times could be at risk of getting deleted starting April 19, 2025.

As we went through and retimed everything, we did find some individuals with PB VODs at risk of being deleted. These individuals have been messaged through Speedrun.com's messaging app. Should they be unable to to export their PB VODs to YouTube and resubmit/supply the mod team with new VOD links, it's very likely they will lose all record of their PB.

Please note, this does not mean we will be deleting your time from the leaderboard if you are unable to save the VOD before deletion. However, it's not unlikely that the next time our mod team does an audit of the leaderboard like this mass retiming project, these runs will be hidden or rejected for failing to provide video proof of the run.

In general, our entire mod team highly recommends all runners to export their PB VODs to YouTube. This will ensure your runs stay on the boards for as long as possible. If you need help in saving your old speedrunning VODs, our community would be happy to help. Please reach out to the mod team on Discord or via Speedrun.com, and we'll see what we can do to keep your run up to date.

Thanks for reading!
