My LiveSplit doesn't save my best Segments after the run
4 years ago

At the end of the run I reset and get the warn to save my best segments. I choose Yes to save.

Even so, my saved splits don't get updated.

At the moment My PB in a game is 39:03 but my live split keep mantaining the old time 39:29 as refference.

Is it a bug? Or I need to configure something?

The only thing i can think of is to make sure you're comparing against Personal Best? Also run as administrator maybe, other than that I have no idea

The problem here is that you reset at the end of the run. After the last split, you will need to split just one more time at the end (usually with the default "0" key), and the splits will be ready for a new run, but all the splits statistics will be updated.

Only reset the splits if you quit a run in the middle.

Oreo321 That was exactly what I was doing. Only reseting at the end

First time I did like you said, tapping this last split it worked out! It had my best time at the end based on my very best splits.

But then it got stucked again keeping always my personal final record. And not a total time based on my best splits.

I dunno what am I doing wrong :(

My configs are like this

RIGHT CLICK: Settings:

( Y ) Simple Sum of best calculation

( Y ) Warn on reset if better times

ACTIVE COMPARISONS

( Y ) Best Segments

( Y ) Best Split Times

Is it right?

Sorry if I'm not doing something obvious on livesplit, as english is not my first language.

For me personally, "Simple sum of best calculation" is turned off (not sure what it does, but I doubt it matter much). For active comparisons, I have only "Best segments" turned on.

Also, I didn't really understood what action you are doing at the end of a run. Do you have as the default options - split with NumPad0, and reset with NumPad3? which one are you using at the end of your runs? (AFTER the last split of the run, when the final time is shown)

@Oreo321 I first reset my runs after last boss manually with right click - reset

Now after the final time is showm I use the space bar (my key for "split")

I will try leave the config as you (best segments only and and simple sum unchecked)

and give another run just to see how it goes

Well, I'm sure the problem was that you did a reset after the last split, and not a normal final split at the end. As I said, you should use the option to reset your splits ONLY if you quit a run in the middle (most likely to reset a run in case of a mistake). Give it a go without doing a reset and see if it works for you.

@Oreo321 So now I have a new PB, my current PB is at the end as final time on my live split. My PB is 37:18

But my question is "how do I get to put my final time based on my best splits?"

I mean: if my best splits have a sum of a suposed 36:00 PB I want that time to appear as refference on my live split.

I used to have the time like that but now I can't manage to put it anymore =(

Ok, I guess you need to configure your Livesplit a little more. If I understood you correctly, you want to show the "sum of best segments", right? Take a look at my personal Livesplit layout: https://i.imgur.com/TZG41HE.png

And with the layout editor (Right click --> edit layout): https://i.imgur.com/x5y0saW.png

At the bottom, I have two "Information --> Previous Segment" sections, one is comparing against the segment time in the PB run, the other is comparing against the best time of that segment. The next section is an "Information --> Run Prediction" section, with "Best Segments" comparison (which make it show the possible time of the current run, if you play at your best pace). The final section is an "Information --> Sum of Best", which is what I assume you asked for.

Now, if you look at your own Livesplit layout, which looks like this (taken from a recent run of yours): https://i.imgur.com/ssgLor1.png

It seems you only use the "Title", "Splits", and "Timer" sections on your layout, so your layout shows little information compared to mine. Edit your layout as you see fit for yourself, add any part you want to see and configure it properly. It doesn't have to be as mine, of course. Remember that Livesplit is mainly for you as a runner, not for the viewers. I also (personally) recommend that you use the "Detailed Timer" instead of the simple "Timer" part, it shows additional useful information for the current segment.

Your Livesplit should come with a "default layout" build. Edit it and save, and then it will be carried for layouts in future games. In case you need a unique layout for specific game (different colors/background, height of splits, etc), edit it and then save the layout as a new layout with the name of the game. Then you can always load this specific layout again. I have my default layout and about 10 other custom layouts myself.

@Oreo321 A million Thanks!!

I will try a complete new configuration as to see if it fits how I want.

I think somehow before formating my hard drive I used to have sum of best in layout and I totally forgot it. So I now thought it was standard for default configs...

I can't thank you enough, man. You saved my runs =)
