Hi people, i'm starting to get into portal speedrunning but there's something i can't do that bothers me. When i open the game i can't put the splits on top of the gameplay, so i can't know what my current time is. When i alt+tab it just goes to steam with the LiveSplit open, but i dont know how to do it, can someone help me? Thanks everyone
On Steampipe, (The version opened on Steam) just change your settings ingame to 'Run in window (No border)' in your video settings. If this doesn't work add -noborder to your game launch options in the Steam client.
If you're on Unpack, right click your portal.bat file and edit it in Notepad. Then paste the following:
@Echo off
cd "%~dp0"
call SST/update.bat
echo 400 > steam_appid.txt
start hl2.exe -game portal -novid -console -noborder -window -high
Starting now and currently being grandfathered, all console runs will be manually retimed with load times removed. This process will be redone by the verification team anyway, so don't worry about doing it yourself when submitting. Massive shoutouts to Tactix1 for doing this basically single handedl
