For some reason, my automatic timer does not work. Everything is correct in the settings, but I do not start from the beginning of the game, but from a certain chapter, how to make an automatic timer when you start not from the beginning

Bind key that you start the chapter on livesplit. Now you have automatic timer. As I remember this is the way to speedrun levels.

If you want to start a run from a specific chapter, you can use the new SourceSplit ( https://www.speedrun.com/hl2ce/news/3625 ) to make it completely automatic.

1. Press Edit Splits
2. Press Settings
3. Under Main Functions, mark the check box "Also Auto-Start when"
4. Starting a New Game on this map: d2_coast_01

The name of the map is the first map of the chapter you want to run. You can check the map name by writing "status" to the console, or displaying it with cl_showfps 1.

Thank you!

You helped me a lot friend, thank you
