Insanebb thank you for your suggestion but it seems i am not running the game in compatibility mode and if i run the game in administration mode my live splits will not work for whatever reason.

Thank you to everyone that has given suggestions and advice on this matter. Sorry I haven't replied back sooner been a crazy week. I will try out the stuff that I can tonight/tomorrow and let you know how it goes. Thanks again!

Honestly I am pretty shit when it comes to pc stuff but i think this is what you want to know?

When I load the game up for the first time of the day I will lose time during just about every cutscene in the run (anywhere from .5 to 1 second of time. The game will also lag during doors and even when switching between camera angles. USUALLY playing the whole run through once fixes both of these problems. I am mostly tired of having to do this because it really is just a waste of an hour to get the game running better, but at least I have a partial fix to the issue right now. There is at least one other person I know of that has this same exact issue and I am hoping for a Christmas miracle that maybe somebody has an idea to fix this so I don't have to always do a full run through of the game before going for actual attempts.

Also doing the full play through did not help tonight which is why I decided to throw out a prayer on here for some answers. Thanks much

Also have a question about the splits. So my time from previous run is staying up there, but when I reset the game for the run and get a faster split its not replacing the time on the board from the previous run.

Hey Steven! Thanks for the tips and advice. It was actually your youtube videos that guided me to installing the game and the setting up the splits. Very helpful videos!

Hey everyone! I am new to this whole speedrunning stuff, but it looks like much fun. I am going to start doing Leon A and I was wondering if there is a quick way of restarting the game on PC (SourceNext) without having to close out the window when I mess up and need to start the run over? Also any and all tips are most welcomed, Thank you.
