Dropped frames/lost time on a stream

Hello, friends. I had something interesting happen to me last week and I thought I'd ask the question here. I believe I know the answer to the question ahead of time, but I thought I'd ask.

I was doing a run on a YouTube live stream last week and my internet connection became finicky. The VOD shows a 10 second gap where it reconnected. This was during a benign and simple part of the game (grinding for currency) on some easy enemies in an early part of the game. It is my understanding that it is not a submittable run if not every frame is accounted for, correct? I did not have the local recording going at the time, so I do not have a 100% complete video to upload.

In future runs, I will try to remember to record, but for this specific run, I just wanted the clarification and the validation that my assumptions are correct: that the run is not submittable.

Thanks for your time, and have a great day!

Every game/community has its own standards for video proof. Some are understandably very strict, others are willing to overlook video hiccups depending on the exact circumstances. You'll have to ask the moderators for the specific game you did a run of to get a final answer, but generally, it's acceptable to submit the run if you're not sure (just be transparent about it in the run description), the moderators often need to see exactly what happened to make a decision anyway.

Thank you for your response. I wasn't sure if SRC had blanket rules on this or whether it was game specific. Thank you for clarifying for me.
