According to Racooze in this video I found, it's apparently a known issue that you can easily soft-lock the game. But anyway, it seems that you have to take care to not let it happen. Thanks for acknowledging my run!

Edit: I just saw at 16:45 (15:50 ingame time) he even run into that issue. Just wanted to leave it there too.

tl:dr: Are bugged runs legit and can you stop the time when you have to restart the game because of bugs?

Hi,

i have no official recorded run yet, but in my runs I had to restart the game severalt times, because sometimes I can't close the pause menu anymore because it's bugged. I usually stop the timer when I restart the game, is this legit?

Also, in Deponia 1 in the end, after you did all the Shenanigans with Cletus and go down the elevator the last time to pick up the Backup-Datasette from the machine, when you want to enter the elevator again, Cletus comes out of the elevator with a gun. The Dialog then is also pretty buggend jumps back and forward and when I try to give him the Backup-Datasette, sometimes I come to the next scene and the dialogue appears again which makes the run a little strange. Anyway, my question is, when these bugs appear, to my advantage or disadvantage, is the run still legit?

I also have to restart the game when I run Doomsday, because in one of the later scenes, with the guys from Elysium in front of the hut of Tonis dad, I can never go across the wood plank to the chronocar to use the Throttle Limiter on chronocar's strengthening link (swapping them). That just works after I restart the game.

So, are bugged runs legit and can you stop the time when you have to restart the game because of bugs?
