maybe just try porting your save over to steam then. there's less lag (I find anyway) and maybe that'll fix your problem

Hm I'm not sure. that sounds weird. Does the cursor change to the copy icon?

When you skip the tutorial after you pick your ducks name (by clicking where the next button would be in the bottom right corner) you keep all the money you had from a previous save

A glitchless category would be a nice idea I agree.

Edit: actually, how about a "no 2nd player" category? Would be interesting while still allowing minor glitches

No-one's accusing you of anything, but if you're making a point of it you obviously want something to come from it. A video would be helpful for people to see what you mean but without any evidence there's no reason to pay any attention to what you're saying.

There is if you go to your dashboard there's a tab on the left

Does this game have any active running community left? Is there any discord server I could join or anything?

Yeah the category is definitely a biiiiig challenge. Maybe the mods could allow it to be done in separate segments but the rules of rta do say it has to be done in one sitting. Maxing every duck takes about an hour per duck (see the glitchless category and take away the time for races etc.).

I don't see any reason why this wouldn't be allowed, so long as you can prove that the recordings are in fact one after the other. You could maybe incorporate a world clock for that?

I believe that since I stepped down as mod there was a rule change. If the current mods are accepting the runs then it's probably allowed. I will say though that when I was a mod I was in favour of a ban, though nothing was written in the rules afaik.
