Hello,
You can use LiveSplit without the autosplitter and use the hotkey to Start/Split/Stop if you want.
LiveSplit won't be able to accurately count the loading time of the game if it's not running on the same computer so we will be using "Real Time" instead of "Time Without Loads".
It will be a small disadvantage on the leaderboard default ranking but you can still compare your time against other players by sorting by "Real Time" (RTA) or "In Game Time" (IGT).
The Leaderboards for the endings are Any% of that ending, if runners are interested in alternative routes we'll create either an option or a new category that includes that route. I'd rather have the categories about a clear goal than a set path, it allows people to be creative and try different strategies.
