I've tried everything to get the load removal & autostart working but when I press start the timer doesn't start when I enter the game and run around. can someone please help?

Are you comparing to Game Time?

Are you running on the right patch?

Yes I am comparing to Game Time and the right patch on BL2, Livesplit is the latest version expect the "fix" that I downloaded from here. is that "fix" breaking it?

nevermind I've fixed it. that was the problem. I didnt see the "Not Needed" part on the loadless and it conflicted with the new one that comes with livesplit
