Removing loadless Timing Method
4 years ago

Hey, I'm a super-mod on the gtaV leaderboards. https://www.speedrun.com/gtav/full_game We currently have "time with loads" as our default timing method but also allow people to submit a loadless time alongside.

There are multiple issues with the loadless timer: Not being accurate, spreading confusion etc. so we want to get rid off it.

These are our current settings: https://i.imgur.com/K9n5Af2.png First I tried turning off the "seperate load times" setting. If I do that then the leaderboards are defaulting to the loadless timer, which results in only a fraction of the runs having a time displayed at all(since it was optional to submit this). With the seperate load times option turned off I literally can't change the default timing method to "time with loads" anymore. I do the change and it says that it saved the change, but it always defaults back to loadless. Also tried messing around with real-time or ingame timer which all resulted in the same thing happening.

I can always fix it by going back to the old settings so nothing got deleted.

Currently the only solution we see to this problem would be manually removing everyone's loadless timer, but that would need to include all obsolete runs aswell and we would essentially be deleting data where it seems like there should be a better solution.

I noticed that bug aswell. The dropdown only switches after I turned off, and saved, the "seperate load times" like you said. But even after that, everytime I try to change the timing method it will still not actually change it. I've even looked into the audit log and by looking at the "defaulttime": 0, line in there I saw that the change didn't properly go through. This is me first(right side) turning off seperate load-times, then 2nd changing from "Real-time without loads" to "Time with Loads". https://i.imgur.com/z7A7cPd.png Both requests are identical so somehow that didn't go through.

As I was writing this I had the suspicion it could be a browser problem so I tried with a different one, unfortunately same result.
