Whenever I try to start a speedrun using the Demo Auto-recorder, the game just straight up crashes. I don't know where to, or whether I can, find the crash log. Also, trying to start from 53.01 using livesplit, simply restarts at 0. Thanks in advance.

Ask Fatalis (SourceSplit) or Maxxuss (Speedrun demorecorder maker)

Thanks, I'll try to get in touch with them

Sorry, this answer was maybe a bit fast because I had to hurry. What I meant is that you should talk with the developers but if other runners experience this crash and/or want to help you, you can discuss about it. However, I've only experienced lags, but not a single crash.

It's happening consistently, so I don't know what's going on. Don't worry about the hasty reply, I understand that you're not some god who knows every single thing about every resource in portal running.

I honestly don't use both at the same time but I don't remember them to have a bad synergy

I'm not sure that it's both going at the same time, I just think it's a problem with my installation, or something on my computer. Even when I just run livesplit, the timing doesn't work. I might try using some other timing program, see if that works.

Did you enable auto splitting ?

Yeah, I've had it enabled before trying to use the vault save. If I can't find a solution then I'll just live without the vault save or demo recorder, 57 seconds of nothing doesn't bother me too massively.

"57 seconds of nothing"

you mean 57 seconds of actual gameplay? :^)
