Back when I used to run, we had to manually point to the ASL, start it manually, and then skip first cutscene when the time read XX.6X to get the proper game-time start on the run to Kendo's Gun Shop.

Does the auto splitter built into LiveSplit for RE2 classic account for this or is it still better to point to the ASL manually and start it manually?

You'll still have to time it when you skip the FMV to have the IGT start at 0

It's a game related problem that can't be fixed

Appreciate it, bud. Was discussing with Kopachi and figured I'd asked!
