Hi guys,

Has anyone ever used an auto-splitter on a game they've speedrun before? Does anyone know how it works or how it can be programmed for this game? I had a quick google and it seemed a bit beyond my technical skill levels, but if there's an 'easy' tutorial anyone knew about I'd be interested in learning.

It's a relatively minor inconvenience having to manually split after each level but I feel it might be beneficial to have synchronisation on the exact point where everyone splits to help compare times.

I also think if there was some code that auto-splits when the game hits certain points, it might help when practicing individual levels. I can't be the only one who's wanted to time an individual level and had issues with getting livesplit to start at the right time!

Hi guys,

Something a bit different that some of you may be interested in.

I've been playing with TAStudio and managed to clear the WR by almost a minute and a half using it.

This is my first ever time even using TAStudio so there's lots to be improved on. Strategies were mainly based around what I've found works for me when running, but the RNG meant I had to do a few workarounds as enemies weren't in their 'usual' places.

The LiveSplit timer is comparing with the current (non-TAS) WR, and as you can see, gets a gold in every stage, sometimes very convincingly.

Let me know what you think and what you feel I can improve or tell me about any obvious stuff I'm missing!

Hi folks,

Title says it all. I’ve only started speed running recently so I’m a bit of a noob but am getting some times that are reasonably competitive that I’d like to upload.

I’m currently using OBS to record but the file is absolutely huge and my laptop is getting on to be 8+ years old and can’t really handle it. I’ve also tried streaming thinking that would help but it puts my game frame rate to unusable levels. Is there any recommendations for ideas of getting video proof of my runs or do I just have to suffer until I can get a new laptop?
