Im using the autosplitter and load remover that is activated on the splits settings menu of livesplit. but it chooses to split of not incredibly inconsistently as well as splitting at moments when nothing is happening that it would usually be meant to split at for example turning in a 2nd dust to cecilia, not maxing her hearts but just turning in 2nd. getting close to the exit of M's room, not on beating M or getting the keycard or actually exiting just as im approaching the door. i dont understand why its doing this but alot of times its doing a final split and ending the run when im still going which is a big issue. is the autosplitter for this game bugged? or is something wrong with the setup causing this? and if it is bugged is there a way to use the load remover without the splitter?

The autosplitter has not been kept up to date through the last updates of the game. The splitting itself is broken, but the load removal still works fine (aside from cases that happen when starting LiveSplit AFTER the game is launched).

Just simply have a timer with "Compare Against" set to "Game Time". Do not use the "Split" setting, but keep the "Start" setting checked under the autosplitter Component Settings. The Game Time timer will automatically start correctly, you will have to manually split yourself by using the hotkey.

Another thing that seems to help is launching livesplit before the game. If not that, then the other way around, I keep forgetting!
