Hello everyone

It has been brought to our attention that Cero D is becoming a really big thorn in our sides. Especially for PC runners. Some can no longer boot up the version. Because of this we will be looking into altering the times of the leaderboard. Right now the priority is PC. Since PC is in dire need of this change today. 30 seconds will be added to Cero D runs. Doing this will allow Steam and Cero D runs to be fair and to be played without either having an advantage and everyone having accessibility.

Also the leaderboard will be changed in the way it displays time. The board will begin to display TWO forms of timing methods. Showing "Time" being the main ranking method.. this will have the altered added time from Cero D/Z. This is the main timing method being used to determine your rank on the board.

Another timing method will be "IGT" this will also be displayed. This is the time that's shown at the end of the Stats screen This will be for Cero D/Z runner submissions and will show the pure unaltered time for you run. helping to preserve that time for the runner and continue to have it shown. It will not determine rank.

Q: Why add time to Cero and not Steam?

A: Quick answer. For the future of the boards. More detailed answer It's Cero D that's becoming more and more difficult to obtain. So one day there may be a time where Cero D will no longer be submitted anymore. It may one day be 100% impossible to run and be a thing of the past (That's the dream \o/) Which means if Cero D was the only version we were retiming (not counting Z) Then a day will come were we wont need to add time to any runs that get submitted in the future. Making all this potentially temporally and one day unneeded.

As of right now all of this is for the MAIN GAME only and its categories. Cero changes will be done to PC as the priority first. Console will come at a later time. Mods will handle the time changes starting with top runs first working our way down. I imagine this wont take long since majority of Cero D runs are on the first 3 pages at most. the further down we go the less will see.

Oh and cant forget!! Pausing the game: "non- tactical Pausing is allowed for an allowance of 3 mins. You may not pause during cutscenes".

If anyone has concerns or objections please let us know now. Changes will be happening very soon

Thank you
