Recently, Twitch has announced that on April 19, they are removing highlights from accounts that have over 100 hours of highlights (until you are below 100 hours). This means that if your Twitch account has over 100 hours of highlights, your runs on speedrun.com are at risk of losing its video footage.

If you have runs on speedrun.com from Twitch, and you are at or are nearing 100 hours in Twitch highlights, it is highly recommended that you re-upload your speedruns for all games on a different video platform (e.g. YouTube), and edit your run submissions with a new link. You don’t need to remove your run and upload a new one, you can simply edit the run submission and change the video link (the run will need to be re-verified before it’ll re-appear on the leaderboard).

For all runs on the main and CE Deltarune leaderboard that are at risk of being deleted, we will be re-uploading the runs on likely a YouTube channel so that we can retain every run on the leaderboard. We will be beginning this process on March 31st, so please try and edit your runs before then if it applies to you. There is a lot of runs that need to be rectified, so we could gladly appreciate as many of you as possible to edit your runs so that this process becomes more manageable for us.

About a month ago, there was a community poll held in the discord to add IGT to Deltarune. After a close poll of about 70 to 5, we have added the use of IGT to the game. This IGT only makes a difference to the All Chapters categories, removing the time spent switching between chapter 1 and chapter 2. This makes the game more balanced for everyone, removing any hardware issues that may set anyone behind.

Because of this change, an option has been added to the default LiveSplit Deltarune autosplitter by NERS to pause the timer during chapter switch, as long as the autosplitter is enabled with the pause option checked, and LiveSplit is set to In-Game Time. If you are unable to run with the autosplitter pausing for you, moderators will retime every All Chapters run to remove the time for you.

The removal of this time also gives you a break in the middle of the run. You are allowed to use this break however you may need, but don't overuse it. The time spent during the break is up to the moderator's discretion, generally try not to spend longer than 5 minutes during a single break. The break must also be included in the recording, without any cuts.

The IGT box is visible when submitting to any category. You are free to fill it in when submitting an All Chapters run if you know what the IGT is. If not, that's fine too, as it will be filled in for you. If you are submitting a run that is NOT an All Chapters run, (Chapter 1 or Chapter 2), please leave the IGT box empty. Those categories use real-time, and any submitted IGT will be removed during verification anyway.

Thank you for reading, and remember, have fun and go fast!

As many of you may have noticed, we have added milliseconds to Deltarune! This only applies to Chapter 1 Any% runs that are below 30 minutes long. This was in an attempt to break many of the 2, 3, and even 4-way ties on the leaderboard.

Even though we have added them, please do not submit your runs with milliseconds, to any category. Moderators and verifiers will retime them to make sure they are 100% accurate, and milliseconds will just be removed from any other category that they are submitted with. It is due to an SRC limitation that we can't set milliseconds for only Chapter 1, so we just have to deal with the additional time slot in submission and hope people leave it empty. If you do submit a run with milliseconds, it will not be rejected, it will only be edited to either be correctly timed or removed, depending on the category.

Edit: Since the writing of this news post, the following categories currently have milliseconds implemented:

• Chapter 1 Any% (Times under 30 minutes)
• Chapter 2 Main Route Glitched (Times under 28 minutes)
• Chapter 2 Snowgrave Glitchless (Times under 34 minutes)

The same aforementioned rules will apply to all categories listed here as well.

Thank you for reading, and remember, have fun and go fast!
