So I know the vast majority of people who speed run are on PC, but at the moment I am on Xbox. Does anybody know how much time to take out or take in when there is loads? Like, at the moment, if verified, my best run is 28:44 WITH loads. What would it be without loads? Like does somebody already have the numbers for me? And if I ever switch over to PC, what is the time removal there also?
Well, loading times all depend on different things, so we cannot just give you a number on it. It will definitely take away quite a bit of time. Switching to pc might have shorter loading times than xbox does, but compared against gametime you will not get free timesavce from it. I would recommend using pc just because alot of tricks are way easier on pc. Hope this helped!
Am I allowed to put the time I got with both time categories, or is that not allowed? Cause I feel like I’m 100 spots behind because I don’t have a second time gap filled.
If you are not comparing against gametime then no. Not sure if it will work for xbox, but if you try to right click livesplit and then click compare against and finally gametime that might do the trick. You can do a simple check bye seeing if it keeps timing while you're loading a new map. You also should enable the autosplitter. I'm pretty sure you were splitting in every elevator which you should not do. you split on every load, meening there are multiple chambers in one map. These maps are: 00/01, 02/03, 04/05, 06/07 and 11/12. the other maps only contain one chamber.
Do you think it would be smart if, let’s say I have a split for 00/01 and the second loading screens pops up, split it, then have a second split right when it ends, and then at the end of my run remove the second splits and count then as a run without loading time?
I know what you mean, but you'd need to compare against gametime to be able to submit time without loads
As I said before you'd need to compare against gametime to "pause" your timer. You do this by right clicking livesplit, click compare against and click gametime. that way it shouldnt keep timing during loads.
So how does comparing gametime work? I'm trying not to be annoying, but I am very interested in learning in this game. Does Livesplit automatically know when there's pauses?
Hi, sorry to come back. Now that I finally got Portal for PC, my livesplit autosplit function isn't working. I have it compared to game time but it is not auto splitting for me. Is there something I am doing wrong? Is the game? Is there another livesplit setting? My elevator no split for me :(
Activate the autosplitter in "Edit Splits," it should be in the top right, if it's already activated I'm not sure.
Okay I feel like I'm getting somewhere. It is almost working, but there's like extra settings to actually get it going. There's a blacklist and whitelist option but idk what that would do for me.
Okay now my timer does not work, like at all. Even if I manually hit start it just stays stuck at 0
Starting today, runs that require video proof (top 25) and runs beyond that where video is the only form of proof, now require audio, as recording audio for only the game is now a native OBS feature.
