Hello all,

Before I begin I am not going to invalidating or retiming any runs as the changes are minor and wouldn't affect the leaderboard in any meaningful way.

It seems there has been a bit of confusion on when to start and stop timing. I have discussed this with some other speedrunners who have years of experience running and moderating games and I am posting here to see the communities perspective.

I am going to change the timing to begin when the game fades in after selecting the movement type and after the initial cutscene as this is when the in game timer begins and when you gain control of the cosmonaut. The end time will also change to be when the Heavenly Bodies logo appears before the credits as it is still possible to unclip yourself after.

A minor rule change as well is going to be that the in-game speedrun timer must be enabled as this will provide better validation.

Once the in game timer has been fixed to include the end and show the final time, the leaderboards will be moved over to in game time.
