split in stream or recording

I've been running any % of the game in speedrun for some time now and I ended up having problems when recording, would there be any way for me to see the time without using split?

If you're running on PC, it's best to use the LiveSplit autosplitter/load remover, since load removed times are used as the primary ranking on the leaderboard. The RTA time should also be displayed alongside the load removed time if possible. If you're having issues setting it up and capturing it over the game with OBS, I can try to help you with that. If you're running on console, RTA timing is the only method. If you can't figure out a way to capture the timer, I should be able to just frame count the video later to verify the time, so that shouldn't be a major issue. You should at least run the timer on the side so you can submit it with the run. Make sure to show the new file creation at the start, and the completed file at the end. Note that console and PC use different start and end points for the run. Let me know if you have any other questions!

Seems like you figured out how to record with the splits! Unfortunately, I was unable to verify the run you submitted, but I gave the reasons why, so you will be able to make sure it's verifiable next time.

Alright, sorry about those issues. Make sure not to cover anything important on the game screen. You can also make LiveSplit transparent, or make the game smaller in OBS so the splits don't cover it. Also, don't forget to add a real time clock in addition to the load removed time, and show the completed file at the end. Good luck!
