@VikeMK have you thought about running a few raspberry pies for the backend, or would you actually need more processing power for that?

i just timed the loading between MS and WP (after hitting next track) on the cartridge its ~9 seconds and now my game is installed on the switch its self and the time for the same loading screen is ~7 seconds. times can vary per switch tho so allow the game installed on the switch like you can expect 2-3 seconds on the loading screen alone. but the time from hitting start and loading in to MS is the same 14 seconds, so that is unavoidable. As to your second question, this has been requested many times and answered, the times saved between the loading screens can very easily be lost due to either items, bad corner taking, course hazards, or bad coin routes. In my honest opinion that is why there isn't a separate category for digital/cartridge. For example on the bonus tracks for 150cc items, the second best time is done on a Cartridge version of the game, same goes for the 48 track run 150 cc items for 3rd place, and special cup 200cc items 3rd place. There is probably more but I am lazy and don't want to list them (haha). hope this helps!

@Peaky there are old run that i didnt delete from having old rules because at one point they didnt have the same rules. just follow the rules and they will be accepted if its started properly.

Apocalypse mode isn't unlocked at the start of a new game. It is unlocked at level 5 i believe.

my race the sun is the most updated version. and my windows 10 install is the most recent update. also since we do have different versions the registry would be different as well since steam is tricky with registry saves.

the gog version comes with a key for steam so u can have it on steam for free but the image i posted is straight from my windows registry. idk how u got broken down stats tho

well the save file isn't in registry but inside the unity code its self so theres no way to edit it. the only thing i can think of is that if your doing max level runs if i think of runs that use it to keep a save file in steam cloud that is at 25 and just use local saves for full game runs so you have 2 save files. https://imgur.com/a/vUNU5OB

Just disregard those run I forgot i made them and was trying out a format but didn't like it to much.

i don't know how many people feel the same way about people submitting runs from a video of another run, but i think its kind of a low blow to do one run and submit it several different times. personally i think each submission should be rerun of that specific run and not from a different run.

Killing Floor Classic. submitted 5 runs to just find that the mods have not been active for as far as i can tell 4 months. i tried contacting two of them but the third one has no social media presence at all. thank you :/
