How do I get a speedrun timer? I like to speedrun the weirdest catogeries but i still don't know how to get an in-game timer.
Hi! To get an in-game timer for speedrunning, you can use a third-party software called LiveSplit. LiveSplit is a free and open-source timer program that allows you to time your speedruns and keep track of your splits. Here's how you can get started with LiveSplit:
Download and install LiveSplit from the official website: https://livesplit.org/downloads/
Launch LiveSplit and click on the "Edit Layout" button to customize your timer layout.
Add a "Game Time" component to your timer layout by clicking on the "Layout Settings" button and selecting "Add Component" -> "Timer" -> "Game Time".
Configure the "Game Time" component by selecting the game you're speedrunning from the dropdown list and choosing the appropriate timing method.
Start your game and launch LiveSplit. Press the "Start" button on LiveSplit to start the timer.
As you play your game, LiveSplit will keep track of your time and splits. You can use the "Split" button to mark your progress at key points in the game.
When you finish your speedrun, stop the timer by pressing the "Stop" button on LiveSplit. You can then save your time and splits to a file for future reference.
LiveSplit supports a wide range of games and timing methods, so be sure to check the documentation for your specific game to ensure that you're using the correct timing method. Good luck with your speedruns!
