Absolutely! Even without confirmation, it's a very reasonable reply. So thank you for taking the time to read on and give me something to work on.

I think I may of misinterpreted some runs as they were submitted with parts, but they're still very much a straight run from start to finish. I also believe I may of been too eager when seeing the catagory rules and had completely disregarded initial FAQ's.

Although I didn't upload or submit a run for verification, I'm glad I'm learning the important things now before embarrassing myself 😅✌

I suppose I could attempt the 100 Acre Woods RTA with this Xbox DVR setup until I get a CC 😋

Cheers!

⅘ of the way through an %All Worlds (Critical) run using the Xbox One DVR + USB 3.0 to record 1 hour long segments for evidence.

I am somewhat aware of the basic mechanics that mess up IGT accuracy, so have been avoiding menu pausing and pressing continue etc.

Question 1: Is my run technically dead if there were some sort of break between recordings? (Eg: Record 1hr, toilet break, record 1hr) This includes using save states to regain footage/igt accuracy.

Question 2: If the run isn't dead due to the above reasons; will I have to upload each segment seperately, or am I able to compile all the videos in to one? (Knowing that submitting the run would have to include the fact that it's segmented)

Question(s) 3: (Not applicable if run's dead @Q1) Knowing that full runs (attempted/recorded start to finish) are a bigger feat than segmented runs for obvious reasons: Do segmented runs compete with full runs on the same leaderboard? Are there penalties for segmented runs to combat fairness for full runner's? (Assuming the segmented runner hasn't edited footage to manipulate RTA?)

Apologies if any of these questions have been covered in any other sub-forum or FAQ thread.

Cheers!

Always loved video games, and always knew of speedrunning. In recent times, have grown to love watching- and trying to decipher these (mental, physical, and sometimes emotional) process' behind all these runs for my favourite games of today, and of the past.

The series I would like to play during the initial learning period; will be focused on the @Kingdom Hearts series and occasionally @Grand Theft Auto Online Heist Prep + Finale(s) or Contact Mission runs.

I'm completely new to broadcasting gameplay, I don't own any recording equipment/software, and only have very basic knowledge on the do's and don't's with speedrunning, alongside the knowledge I have with tools needed/used.

So I'm all eyes & ears for anyone reading this, and have any piece of knowledge to spare 😁

Thanks for havin' me around! Cheers! -Jake
