Coming back to the game- run removed?
4 years ago
North Yorkshire, England

Hi all, I was hoping I could get some input on a run which was removed from the leaderboard (one which was already verified). I'd taken a break from running for a couple months as I've been busy and today I saw my PB had been taken down. I was a little disheartened to see my run removed earlier this month with the reason being "no loadscreen assisted jump at the beginning". Here's the removed run: https://www.speedrun.com/Outlast/run/z03g74oz

As you can see in the clip, the level was clearly visible before I jumped, so I'd been standing there with no input for at least a couple seconds. I'm not sure how it's possible I could have buffered a jump into the loading screen from that point, especially when you can see me standing still after the game loads for some time.

If anyone could point out where I went wrong that'd be much appreciated, though if it was just an honest mistake on the mod's part that's completely fine. I'm more curious as to why the jump was considered loadscreen assisted than anything else.

The load screen allows you to jump without landing penalty for about 3 seconds, we decided that is not allowed when starting the run. Your run happened to be the only run that used it.

You will see the difference if you wait 4 seconds and jump. You will get the normal landing penalty, which makes you slower that just running.
