In the patch note of the new update realeasing soon, zeal wrote he will add an in game timer in settings for speedrunning. Will it be used for the run time now?
The update released today so I checked how the timer works and it starts when you open the keycard door in the opening room so it does not follow the retime rules. I have not checked when it ends.
the in game time starts when you open the first door with the keycard and ends when the press the button on the ending submarine
opening first door is actually better for the time starting, the rules should be reconsidered to only use ingame timer since it will be more accurate anyways, its just that maybe recording should start before exiting the sub
Pretty sure that the whole "timer starts when you press the start button" is because back when doors speedruns were popular, it had the exact same mechanic (as far as i remember) but i agree it should be changed, or at least the devs could change the ingame timer to fit with the rules of speedrun submissions
The first part of the Worth The Wait update has released! This has been a long time coming, but it’s finally here!
For about a day or two, we’re going to be holding off on opening the leaderboards, incase there were any major bugs that slipped through bug
