How to use an autosplitter correctly?

Hello, I just made an account and am completely new to the speedrunning genre. I wanted to speedrun Portal 2 as my first game, but the autosplitter thingy just doesn't work in my favour.

The game is supported by an autosplitter so i thought it would be pretty easy to set up. I still might need some help though, because the timer won't start automatically. If I start it manually, the timer turns green but stays on 0:00.

In "Edit Splits" I have the Auto Splitting activated. In the "Settings" right next to the "Activate" button I also enabled it. The Game Time Method is set to "Engine Ticks with Pauses". In the "Edit Layout" menu I also added "Scriptable Auto Splitter" (I don't know if it's necessary).

Thanks for the upcoming help!

I would recommend directing your questions to the Portal community as they will be able to help you much better than we will https://www.speedrun.com/portal_2

You will find the forums for the game there as well as link to their discord server.
