I was doing a SOLW speedrun - https://www.speedrun.com/mcce#Stack_of_Lime_Wool and I was on a run I thought was dead, then I tabbed out to check the time and it was record pace, and I end up finishing the run 2 seconds behind WR. Does pausing the game also pause the timer? If so, then its WR. Please let me know

there is igt and real time, real time is timed including pause. igt is time in game, w/o pauses, so then, yes, it is wr, since leaderboards are tracked in igt.
