How many missions show the in-game time at the end?

I was under the impression that some mission replays didn't show the mission time (in-game time). Which one's don't?

I have noted that many of the submitted individual levels give an in-game time at the end, but it is timed on RTA anyway. Was there any justification given previously why more individual levels are not timed with in-game time if it is given at the end?

Looking at the runs submitted, it appears that many more runs give in-game time than is listed in the rules. Any thoughts?

In-game time shown at the end of missions can vary from RTA by more than 10 seconds. Also there are many missions without such a feature so it wouldn't be a consistent timing method. Likewise, any mission you purposefully kill yourself to advance in the mission faster, such as the shooting the gas tank in Mr. Philips would not show in-game time due to dying. Therefore I believe RTA is the most consistent and reliable method.

I agree that RTA is a better, more consistent timing method overall. I've had runs on certain IL's where I've done the exact same run but the in game timer varied largely.

Hmm the advantage of using in-game time is a lack of human error and the removal of loading times I guess. The rate of error is like <1 sec so not a huge deal and only a handful of the missions have loading.

Currently all the races use in-game timing along with masks and boiler suits. At this point, it might be beneficial to keep things as is...I could go either way. See what others say.

It also requires that you expand the competed mission where it occurs. Thus, if you get the perfect run but forget to expand, your run is invalid due to not showing time which is absurd.

For 100% submission that isn't a problem ¤shrug¤ and if you know you need to submit using ingame time then you will press enter to find out what it is.
