I would say to put the file creation at the very start, as in cut out the dead run before the finished one. The mods probably saw the first run start and continue after WTMT without showing the file creation. The first 4 minutes should be cut out next time

Check the guides section on the left. There should be a google docs with a route as well as a guide showing how to down-patch so you can do certain glitches. If you have the DLC, I'd suggest going for Nyakuza Route. Good Luck!
