I was trying to use the version that is used for speedrunning on the Steam beta, and when I open the game it loads forever and just shows the screen with the xbox controller. The game runs fine in the most recent version, but I can't get the "speedrun" version working, any ideas? Thanks in advance.

You'll have to block the game from the firewall for the ogversion because otherwise it will try to connect to the SQL server which doesn't support the original version anymore.

Here's the post that explains how to fix the issue: https://www.speedrun.com/smb/thread/qmwfs

It worked, thanks so much!
