1st : rejected for using custom maps https://www.speedrun.com/Factorio/run/z57188gm 2nd: rejected for using a mod, and i also see that they didnt even start the livesplit which the game is supposed to take the time from not from ingame time https://www.speedrun.com/Factorio/run/yojjjx1m 3rd: new today, once again they put the ingame time for the speedrun submittion not the real time, video is still being rendering so we cant determine how they started the map but it is a clear indication to me that they dont read the rules or the message the mods send them when the submission get rejected https://www.speedrun.com/Factorio/run/yojjn0dm

Hi @withouthk - this issue is simply a language barrier :) They have been given a translated message to help them understand. I haven't checked, but I believe the latest submission is actually valid. If the timer is wrong, that's okay - that can fixed by re-timing and we can adjust the submitted time for them. Also I would be willing to do that if a volunteer is needed....

yeah i believe that it is valid i just couldnt determent if it was an error due to the fact that the video was still rendering yesterday but i believe that the only thing will be to change the time from 4:57 to 5:00:00

I'm pretty surprised that AntiElitz is policing our runs when we're only hitting ~5 hrs. All these runs are going to be smashed into oblivion soon. It's good fun to get a mark on the board in the interim though :p.

WOOOO, CANADIAN RUNNERS!

@whiteleaky please get my name right in your speedrun submittion :P thanks https://gyazo.com/4254254e6c94d4a6faac66df26332761

oh snap, my bad withouthk, hahaha. dyslexic for the word white.

I reviewed the run and corrected the final time to RTA being 4h 34m 45s (previos 4h 34m 25s). Also we are in contact with Bubix, explaining him the rules. I'm sure we will submit the correct time the next time.

thank you so much :) love being in the community

Hi I just submitted a run yesterday, I hope I did it correctly. I didn't set up a timer app, so I'm using video timestamps to determine the time (it's only 11s more than in-game time so they match... almost ^^).

I didn't know there was a forum to talk, it's nice! :)

Also I find it harsh that the Timer mod is not allowed... Even if we need to add a few seconds in the end to account for pauses/UPS lag, that's still helpful for the runner to evaluate his performance in real time.

we run a hard line on not allowing mods, because if we allow one there may be a precedent to allow others, too. There could be some edge-cases coming up, where a mod could give an unfair advantage we don't want to handle with. Also you could modify the mod and cheat with them. For that reason we decided to not allow any mods. There is free software like "livesplit", or you smartphones stopwatch, that can help you to track realtime without an ingame mod. Also, just open a new thread for a different topic next time please.
