Ok, so the first question is: When do we start the speedrun timer? The second is: Can we use the kill command in the console? Yeah, this is it for now but we need to talk about this.

You start at the time you press New game via menu

Then ends at the touch of the last door

but the game loads slower depending on device

Ik so here's the stat. Turn graphics down pre game then when in game turn them up (or not) there will be mobile and PC versions of these runs

Do we consider the last openable door the last door?

Nope. The last last one up the stairs at the end (right now where the demo ends)

okay, but starting with the new game button is a bad idea. Shouldn't we start when it's loaded? slower pcs still get a disadvantage even if you take the graphics down and if the servers are slow (I'm waiting for load for 2 minutes rn) the speedrun gets slower.

I guess so maybe when the train doors open? That would be the second balanced thing

okay, that's good like that.

with sv_cheats 0 the kill command still works can we use it in the run?

I saw people clipping trough doors before today but today the game has been updated and I think the clipping has been patched.

Oki

They made a speeding mode

the clipping has not been patched

By pressing L when the game is loading you will be put into speedrun mode. This mode features a built in timer and automatically ends the timer when reaching the door at the end of level 1. Also I don't think the devs have any intentions to patch any glitches as they are working on the rest of the game and seem to enjoy the speedrunning community somewhat. And cheats are only allowed in certain categories.
