I appreciate the suggestion, but the community has been dormant for a while now—I don't see the point in adding a category that only you and your friends would likely compete in.

Besides, how would that even work? If the goal is to die as fast as possible (without using console commands), every run would be entirely RNG-based and last only a few seconds at best, leaving little to no room for improvement. That doesn’t seem very interesting in the long run...

[quote]Я сейчас сравнил свой пробег и твой. Отличия по скорости колоссальные. Я тогда не понимаю почему у тебя практически не отнимается стамина во время бега и рывков. Или мне сравнение на youtube сделать? I just compared my mileage and yours. The differences in speed are enormous. Then I don't understand why stamina is practically not taken away from you during running and jerks. Or should I make a comparison on youtube?[/quote] I did not use any mutators; there are some advanced speedrunning strats that you're simply unaware of. I highly suggest you download my demos and watch them in game. You can analyze my inputs via developer 1;demo_debug 1;con_filter_enable 1;con_filter_text "dem_consolecmd" to find the answers you're looking for.

Personally, I don't see the point. Mutators are essentially console cmds that are input automatically at the start of the round. We are barely receiving any submissions for the one category we have now, it wouldn't make sense to add two or three more with minor variations.

У меня персонаж после рубки досок на дверях бежит чуть ли не в два раза медленнее, чем у тебя на видео...[/quote] Better stamina consumption/management, that's all. Cabin is a map that flows well as there are many instances where you get to recover stamina naturally (while doing objectives for example), so your character shouldn't become winded at any point during a run.

It kinda goes without saying, but the use of mutators is forbidden. Thanks for bringing it to my attention though, we forgot to add it to the rules since it's a relatively new update, so I will be doing that now.

No, it's not allowed. Using it in challenge mode automatically renders the run invalid, as you've probably already seen for yourself. The same goes for similar serversided cvars such as sv_extract_previewtime. I understand the pain, though...

The use of most console commands is against the rules, sv_cheats 1 being the best example. Typing it before the start or in the middle of a run in challenge mode would automatically render it invalid.

It is also normal for the recording to appear darker outside of the game, so it's not a problem with your graphics card. As Akuma stated, there are other ways to increase the brightness in post.

Keep in mind that a video of your gameplay is not necessary for your run to be validated - the demo is all that is required.

Click on "CREATE SERVER" in the main menu and enable "Challenge Mode" under "Server" before starting a new game. I don't think there's any way to turn it on outside of servers hosted in challenge mode.
