@ZestyOrang this is called "dairy free", check out this tutorial

You can find some info about game mechanics in the guide, including stuff about the elevators, although that guide hasn't been updated in ages.

For instance, here are the shortest paths to the exit:

Where did you get the game from? And what version are you currently playing?

Sometimes updates can break the auto-splitter script.

1. If you play on PC, you submit to PC, no matter where you got the game. Note that legacy is for earlier versions (only available through EGS).

2. You don't have to literally clean your save file when starting a run, but you must play as if it was a clean save. This means you can't use the computer to teleport to whitespace and stuff like that.

2.5. As I said, this is not needed, but if you really want to, you can reset achievements from the achievement menu. Check this post if you want to reset other kinds of progress as well: https://discord.com/channels/644359909596594181/644359909596594184/871133429738139658

Hope that helps

The link on the game page still works with me. Here it is anyway: https://discord.gg/T6JbGSG

You need to have Steam running and you need to own Portal in your library.

You have to finish the game such that the in-game timer says "final time", which you can indeed only achieve by clicking the alarm clock in Retrospect.

there's the practice mod in the resources section

If you die, you can reload your quicksave or autosave and continue the run as usual.

There's a ongoing discussion about how co-op runs should be timed. It seems the in-game timer isn't reliable when playing co-op, so we need to find an alternative solution. Once this is done, we'll surely add this category to the leaderboards.

I suggest you to join the Discord server if you feel like sharing your thoughts about this.

That trick is called "over goo". Check out the routes for 08 in the inbounds section of the guide, there are several setups available.

The name of your demo folder must not contain any spaces. Just rename it to "14-16_il" or whatever.

You can also press shift+F2 in the game menu to open the demo playback window.

Upload your demos to a file storage platform (Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, etc.), share the file, get a link and paste it into the description field.

It depends on how laggy your video really is. If there are many parts where the video freezes completely, or if the framerate is very low for an extended period of time, it might get rejected. If the lag is not too strong however, it will probably be accepted.

The best thing you can do right now is submit your video anyway, and we'll see whether it's good enough.

Next time, try reducing the video bitrate (maybe also the resolution if needed) of your screen recorder to make sure you can record in a decent quality.

Nope, "no restriction" here just means you can use whatever glitch you want to reach the end.

If I remember correctly, the only category which allows non-clean save files is "all collectable", because you need to have finished the game at least once in order to be able to collect every chess pieces in a single run (although this isn't even specified in the rules).

More specifically, if you're thinking about using the chess computer to teleport from Optical to Whitespace, then I can immediately tell you that this is unfortunately not allowed in any category.

The run ends when GLaDOS dies, not after the fadeout.

Unless you play on console, you can enable the auto-splitter in the Splits Editor and compare against game time, which will automatically pause the timer during loading screens.
