Hello! My IGM is way smaller than RTA (obvious). Is there a way to shorten the RTA? I counting the RTA from the start of a new game and stoping it at the begin of the credits. is it right?

Hello,

I'm not sure if i understood, but i'll post just in case; RTA timing depends on the game and the community of said game.

how can it depend on the game? I thought it was just a straigh time recordin from the very begining till the the end.

Because sometimes you start it while pressing "New Game", sometimes when you gain control of the character. The same applies to stopping the timer; sometimes it's on last action, sometimes on credits, sometimes even after because of a cutscene.

ok. so why in am2r the leaderboard is made by RTA instead of IGM?

i don't know, ask the moderators of the leaderboard D:

There is also a link to the AM2R discord in the game's forum. I tried to get someone to respond to you here, but they started explaining it to me instead :P

Ohh, I didnt see this discord link man. Gonna instal it then.

RTA timing is different for every game and same for IGT. Some games don't even use IGT because they all run on the same hardware. Typically IGT is used if either the game offers it or if it is on PC and they do not want to deal with hardware differences. Every single time it is up to that community. It wouldn't make much sense for Dishonored to use the same timing rules as SM64.
