So im running, and i die in the noise, im go, ok, retry. dying skips a split. now i have to reset ;-; What do i do to fix this in the future?

Ive been trying to speedrun this game, and this is my first game ive tried speedrunning on controller. I have tried a bunch of things, but it only splits while it is focused. I have global hotkeys on already, and it is being ran in administartor, what do i do.
