Load Remover Update

Kamil20506 and Nighlin have worked together to fix the previous Load Remover for PC to work with the current patch version of Demon Slayer (v1.83). If you are a PC runner, please download the new load remover in the Resources tab.

If you run the game on PC and plan on submitting runs in the foreseeable future, please download this Load Remover and set it up with your Livesplit. The default timing method for PC runs is Load Removed Time (LRT) or Time Without Loads, as it removes loads from your final time to make competition more fair across different PCs.

Since LRT is the default timing method for the PC leaderboard, if you submit a PC time without using this Load Remover you will be including load times in your run and losing time, so please download and use this.

** Leaderboard Update - New Category**

Vs. Offline has been created as a new Category for all platforms.

In Vs. Offline, you choose any character or combination of characters you'd like to play as and defeat the entire roster of characters in offline Vs. mode. There are different sub categories for DLC and Non-DLC runs for better accessibility, so you don't need to own the DLC to compete.

This category functionally serves as a sort of "Arcade Mode". The most interesting thing about it is that you aren't forced to use the few characters you have to play as in story mode, so you can experiment with new characters and matchups to find what's fastest.

Thanks for running, if you guys need help with anything or have any questions feel free to join the discord and ask for help!

The old load remover for PC runs has been replaced with a new one, and you can find it in the resources tab. It works differently than the old one so the time that is removed will be different, but it should be more accurate overall. Any issues due to time differences with the old load remover compared to the new one will be dealt with as they come up.
