A thing that irritates me is why we count in the load times...
PC players gain a big advantage over other just because of loading times
My idea is that we can time it in 2 ways, with loads and without loads like on https://www.speedrun.com/Overwatch_Category_Extensions
It would eliminate the time loss that happens beaches of bad loads
There is a way...
As an example Wolf Territory starts= the run starts
As soon as Wolf Territory ends= split
Colorado starts= split
So between every track we also have a split for loading
Tried that, very hard to keep track of. Livesplit wise the easiest would be to use the pause button I think when you end a race and then start next split when you start your next race (gain control of the vehicle) that should also unpause the timer).
But yeah if rules would include the usage of pause button between events, it could also be useful for situations when the game decides to crash (quite frequent on PC).
Edit: Just tested, "next split" button after pausing just unpauses the timer, has to be pressed second time for also split change. Should not be a problem as long as the timer is unpaused at the correct time.
Summary: My suggestion - use Pause button to filter out loading times, possible crashes and everything that is not directly related to racing the event.
This issue is kinda dead because the Demo Derby Patch adds shows the time of the race on everyone so we just play TC2 like it's Sonic 2
So what, I need to manually calculate times? I have livesplit to do the job for me. Anyway rules would need to be reworked if that could be used as a feature in speedruns. Currently we are calculating load times and intermission times in as well.
We time the runs in R-T and after the run we calculate the times that are shown after each race to get the IGT
R-T=Real-Time IGT=In-game time
Imagine doing in-game time calculation for 100% all events category. Just imagine that. Nah, I'll use livesplit :D
In this spreadsheet you will find all the necessary events to do in your the crew 2 speedrun.
