So I recently bought a GV-USB2 for streaming, using OBS. I think I managed to install the drivers and everything properly. But every time I start stream, the game footage doesn't show until I change the video standard to PAL M, switch the input off and on, and change it back to PAL B (I'm UK based). Once I get it showing, the footage works until I stop stream.

Has anyone had this happen before, and do you know how I might fix it? I'd rather not use anything like Amarec if I can get away with it, and just stream straight into OBS.

So Zoton and I have been working on a script for Livesplit, which pauses the timer when the game is loading. We think it's pretty much ready for release, but it seems a good idea to make a thread and take suggestions before we do.

Spoilers: anything I say in this post could be wrong and Zoton might jump in and correct me.

How it works: The script looks at memory addresses that the game uses, and uses them to detect if it's loading (and what kind of load it is). Livesplit then pauses its 'Game Time', which runs alongside real time. Presumably this will only work on the one .exe we've used (which is the one we both got online to avoid playing from disc), but in theory it shouldn't be a problem for someone to swap to this if need be.

The loads it detects are:

1. Loading into a new level
2. Loading to a mission (after using Mission Select)
3. Loading a mission (briefly, before the mission description appears)
4. Loading the main menu

As it stands, we can't detect the loads when entering/exiting a building, nor loading into a cutscene (if this IS a load), so the timer continues through these regardless.

The timer DOES carry on when in the bonus game (lol), or when the game is closed.

We'll make the load remover separate from the autosplitter (I think), which splits when loading from one level to the next (but is easy to change to split between any given pair of levels - see my 100% stuff)

Any questions/suggestions/objections/memes/corrections? Once we get a vague consensus, Zoton can make it available through Livesplit.

Would people be up for this, do you think? I would.

I figure we'd default to All Missions until we get bored. And to get console runners in, we could do some kind of handicap system (based on PBs or previous races or something?). I don't know.

I guess time-wise, we should go for a weekend. I propose Saturdays, around 10pm UTC? If you're interested, give some indication of what times would work, anyway.

So Donut Mod is apparently coming out this Saturday. It'd probably make an interesting blind race. Anyone want to do this sometime over the weekend or early next week?

I figure this is as good a place as any to work out when we want to do this. I'd prefer to do either of June 16th or June 18th, as then my roommate is out and I can go as late as necessary. Otherwise we're looking at sometime between the 9th and the 15th, but I'd ideally like to be done by 1am (GMT+1).

So far we've got Zoton, LP3, Bill and myself. Once we've set a date, we should definitely see if any other runners want to join in. I'm imagining we'll get a Skype call going throughout.

So firstly, can any of us not do either of those two days?
