For a long time it has been hotly discussed within the community whether or not it should be required to watch the intro of HP1 PC. After much discussion and a vote amongst HP1 runners the decision has been made to allow runners to start runs from a prepared save file allowing them to skip the intro cutscene. However, the time for the intro is still added to the total run.

The best way to do this is to set your split files to start at a certain time based on the language you are using. More details can be found in the video below. This change impacts HP1 PC runs across the main boards, Multiruns, Category Extensions and Custom Content.
