🕒 Load Time Removed (LTR) Becomes Default Timing Method for Full Game PC Categories

Starting August 2nd, 2025, all submissions to the Stellar Blade leaderboard in Full Game PC categories must include the Load Time Removed (LTR) timing method.

🆕 What’s Changing?

• LTR will be the default timing method for Full Game PC runs.
• Runs submitted on or after August 2nd must display the LTR timer during gameplay.
• This change ensures fairer comparisons across different hardware setups by removing load time variance.
• RTA is still expected to be submitted as part of the run.

🛠️ How to Set It Up

To use LTR:

1. Download and install LiveSplit from livesplit.org.
2. Right-click on the LiveSplit window and select Edit Splits.
3. In the Game Name field, select Stellar Blade from the dropdown.
4. Click on Activate to enable the load time remover.
5. Ensure the timer shows Load Time Removed during your run.
6. You can find additional resources and support on the Resources page or via the GitHub repository.
