Hello, I started running this game a few days ago as my first proper speedrun. Having a lot of fun with it so far and I beat my PB today (which I'll submit later on) but after watching some of the other runs on here I feel like I need a rule clarifying a bit for any%:

"Level must be fully loaded and visible before moving"

Where does this apply? Only to the first load when you start the run or to any loading screen? After the bush skip I've waited for the lab to completely load (black starts fading) before moving, though I've seen a few people buffer jumps into the loading screen which throws them forward before the level is fully loaded. If anyone could clarify what this rule extends to, so what I can and can't do, it'd be much appreciated- thanks!

It means when you spawn at the gate, just wait till you can see no blackness, then you can start running. When you load into the lab, just move right as soon as you can, It's allowed.

Thank you, I figured it probably only applied to the gate but better to check!

Btw are you in the outlast speedrun discord, and if so can you send me a link to it?

I'm not but it's in a sticky post in the forum, is that not the correct link?

The link isn’t working for me, even a new link to the discord says it’s Invalid
