Okay so, yesterday during stream I checked once again and the only thing I did differently was disable and then re-enable "Promote my Twitch stream while live".

It worked! - Not sure if re-enabling is what caused it to work or something else but I'm gonna assume it was just twitch being twitch and it needed more than an hour to actually send the memo over to here.

So very recently I dipped into speedrunning the game and actually got some really good times in the underworld but I'm faced with a rather major problem as I'd like to submit theese runs to speedrun.com - the entire playthrough everything is smooth sailing but as soon as I reach Tartarus I almost always end up getting some form of stuttering (which can be seen as edits/cuts/splices, making runs invalid for any official leaderboards)

Sometimes it's the entirety of the location except for the final fight, sometimes it's just the entry room, sometimes its a singular stutter but it happens much more often than not and ONLY there.

Anyone faced theese problems? Got any clues what I might look into within SL-OBS settings to fix the issue? (also sorry if this shouldve gone in the games forum section instead, i figured its more of a recording thing)

EDIT: thankfully my runs so far got verified and accepted however question still stands as I rather not submit stuttering video in the future

Checked just now, actually replying mid stream, its not showing up in the hades 2 category nor in my profile but im CERTAIN i have everything set right, even asked some viewers to make sure if im showing up in there or not, but they confirmed that they can see the other peoples profiles showing theyre streaming, they can also see them in the game "streaming" tab - but im nowhere to be seen

quick edit: unfortunately due to family issues i was only able to stream for an hour - and after that hour is when i posted this reply and then after some minutes the stream went down - so the point of it not working still stands i suppose?

hmm cant say as I haven't checked that - but I am planning on doing some more runs today so I'll know what to look for and I'll get back to you!

So I've searched around on the net and I've found some simmilar threads but they're all from 5-7 years ago <.<

Most the answers there also relate just to general settings on your account so let me ask a bit more specifically: Yesterday I streamed some runs of Hades 2 and I checked every so often if I'm showing up over on https://www.speedrun.com/hades2/streams - but nope, my name was not there.

I had the correct twitch category selected for the game, all my profile settings are done correctly aswell as far as I know.

Twitch connected, privacy>"Promote my Twitch stream while live" is also enabled

There was also mention of having noslr in the title (i think, dont remember exactly) but I dont have any of that in my titles

I've read in those past threads that it might be the case of twitch just being twitch and not sending all the streamer data back or some such? Is that what we're dealing with here or perhaps in order to show up in the hades2/streams part you're required to have a PB? cause I've seen some mentions of that aswell.

hm! so, in an any fear run it may or may not make a difference - whereas in 32 fear its better to go for lvl2 fury, since fear points, would that be correct?

also, im mostly trying out 32 runs right now, testing a bunch of ideas but have yet to finish a single run - one was damn close to 2nd place time but i fumbled chronos, and it was momus poseidon + hephastus mint condition (impervious for x seconds)

see thats the kind of insight I was hoping to get - the 0 mana thing does make sense, so technically if someone wanted to go with a more beginner friendly setup they can use what i posted as any fear but keep mana at 0 for momus

any clue why fury is prefered on 1 or 2 though? i mean, logically you want stuff to spawn as fast as possible no? at least thats how i remember it being back in hades 1

So a little bit about me: I am NOT a speedrunner, a fan sure, and I dabbled in running here and there but I've got no major accomplishments aside from beating Hades 1 under 10 minutes and Hollow Knight under an hour. I am a big fan though and for Hades 2 - yknow, I wanna dabble again, but this time maybe a bit harder.

So, I looked far and wide for some proper guides but didn't really find anything, so through observations and my own intuition - through the help of the save files available here in the resources tab...

I created this: https://app.milanote.com/1Sav7118Rv3d1k?p=TvIj2E4UDGI

A more or less visual guide to a Hades 2 speedrun setup. Would love to hear what the experts and newbies alike think about this as I'm heavily considering turning it into a full on VideoGuide if I get at least some confirmation that all the stuff I've dotted down actually makes proper sense!
