I had a crash in a good run at the beginning of a lvl, how will this be handled will the timer count as stopped from crash and start again when i am back in and restart the lvl or does the timer count as running as long as i try to restart the game? Oh i hope that run counts because that was my first sub 1h run

the run should be fine
don't forget to give time when you crashed in your run submission
i think the timer stopes once you close the game and it resumes once you press continue after the crash ( as long as you didn't mess with live split the live split time should be fine )
