Sorry for being annoying with another post.
Pewpew just told me that she/he cannot be on the leaderboard cos she/he doesn´t have a second screen (the game doesn´t allow the auttosplitter to work even with "global hotkeys" activated) (autosplitter is mandatory)
So this post is just to ask if someone knows how to do this. It will be helpful for others with the same problem too.
Weird, it should work with global hotkeys activated (I do this to RE 3).
Although autosplitter being mandatory is a stupid requirement. I have a run on PS3 category and i did it manually (the rule was "start at selecting Hard/stop at clicking Giga's door" and I did it normally).
In Shadow of Colossus game there is a runner who let's his phone recording his TV and his timer is an ancient radio with clock, and it is accepted.
No one should be censured at participating because he/she can't afford a proper setup.
I'm not sure why global hotkeys doesn't work, maybe using the Livesplit browser version can help? https://one.livesplit.org/
This is rather unusual case (no second monitor) for an unusual game (scuffed PC port) that doesn't allow windowed mode in some modern PCs.
I hope someone can come with a solution, either way questioning the IGT auto-splitter being mandatory on PC is out of question and off topic here.
Update: it seems a solution was found in the Discord server. I hope to receive a run from pewpew soon.
If possible could the solution be added to the thread just incase future people are interested? I didn't even see how it was achieved.
To be honest I can't understand what the solution of the problem was and if all problems are even sorted now or not.
From the Discord server the problem doesn't even seem to be the windowed mode or the absence of the second screen, but rather the autosplitter not working.
It would be easier if the actual person with problem would write here otherwise we are all playing "Chinese whispers".
Either way I don't think there will ever be a one-solution-fit-all. As you all know this game gives different issues to different machines. We need to look and try to help in a case by case basis I'm afraid.
I might be a little late, but yesterday I had to do a speedrun with global hotkeys and just remembed you must activate a permission to the application in Livesplit or it will not work. Meybe it is the case of your friend. Show these images bellow to him/her (download them, I can delete them later)
