A massive thank you to everyone who has voted and expressed their opinion either in the community Discord or the forum ( https://www.speedrun.com/dino2/thread/ip46g ).

As for my surprise, nobody voted for the status quo, and so keeping the RTA timing method and the PC board as it is. Zero votes were also given to the proposal of keeping the RTA as main method, but locking the board when the Rebirth leaderboard gets opened. The proposal of using IGT as timing method won with 11 votes (Including 3 votes from Non-PC runners). 2 votes were given to the proposal of removing the board altogether and restarting from scratch with the PC ReBirth board. Additionally 1 vote was unclear between proposals 3 and 4. Either way that would not change the final outcome. The results can be found here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1MsE4jF-UmW53yMPkGwc7XCSUB2S1o8RPVekpNlQSl44/edit?usp=sharing

What will actually change now? Not much. We will allow 2 weeks (until the end of the month) to change the LiveSplits settings. In this two weeks you area allowed to submit runs either using the RTA Autosplitter (common setup) or the IGT Autosplitter (we will explain how to setup this). The IGT Autosplitter will become mandatory from the first day of next month, so please keep this in mind and start migrating now! As member of the community, please if you see someone speedrunning on Twitch/etc. using the RTA timing method (after the end of this month), let them know that the run would be rejected. The final LiveSplit time must be consistent with the IGT End-Screen of the game, otherwise we need to assume there was some sort of splicing going on.

In the meantime the Moderators will work on the board, unifying the two timing columns in one (finally showing only the IGT time in every category), and updating rules, guides and resources.

If you have any question please do not hesitate to contact the Moderators.

Just a friendly reminder. As announced two weeks ago, starting from today we won't accept runs submitted using RTA LiveSplit/Autosplitter comparison anymore. The Resource section has been updated with the correct Autosplitter (151 rooms). Make sure you are using IGT comparison: Right click on LiveSplit -> Compare Against -> Game Time. Make sure that the Autosplitter is fully automated: Layout Settings -> Scriptable Autosplitter -> Start/Split/Reset are all flagged. We won't make exceptions to anyone for any reason, so make sure to update your settings if you haven't done it already. The final time on LiveSplit must match the IGT End-Screen of the game, otherwise we will assume the video was spliced and the run will be rejected.

If you run into problems setting up LiveSplits feel free to contact the Moderators.
