I've noticed this, too, but figured since we were all using it, our runs would all be inaccurate to the same degree. I'm willing to switch to RTA and use my counter, though of course that reintroduces the issue of load times present in NG and NG+.
there is no difference between loadings on NG or NG+ puck my friend and yeah i never undertood why we need to do igt and not rta it not make sense
lol what I mean is the loading issues that exist in NG and NG+ due to using RTA and load times being different on different platforms. That's why most games use IGT when they can...to get rid of speed differences due to hardware differences. It's not our hardware that's competing.
Some RTA split counters can get close to IGT through "auto-splitters", settings for each game that observe certain memory states and split, pause, and resume the timer based on the states of the game. These only work for games played on PC, of course, and my split counter (Llanfair) doesn't offer them anyway.
Nonetheless, if we decide to use RTA and our counters, I propose starting the clock when we hit "start" in the Bloody Palace loading screen, and that time stops on slashing sound/ending of Bloody Palace after death of Dante.
If we gonna do that we have to start the run and timer after pressing x to start the bloody palace. Otherwise start mission and end the timer at the last hit of Dante like Puck mentions.
Tbh there is a huge time difference in NG and NG+, and other different platforms. Having console having the horrendous time loading. I understand where we heading and all. Though in bloody palace I think time there is the same. Gotta do some research.
Other then that we need to talk to PvtCb about this and see if he change the rule or not. Rule for summiting out timer in game time.
I Think--From pressing x to start the bloody palace to last hit of Dante is right for that,
Mission With NG+ is really boaring, So remove that catagory.
