When should timing start? because this is getting ridiculous. I've been doing runs by starting my timer at new game selection, but I see a bunch of clowns and jokers submitting times by starting their time at first movement. What's up with that? Can we get a FINAL verdict on what the standardized timing method is?

i know the games that ive played start the time at the first movement, it also makes sense for this game since obs glitches the game if you start recording before you start the game.

also if you look at the current leader board, every run starts at the first input.

Originally I was all for starting it at new game, but different people have different initial loads, so i think it should start the frame loading ends

Timing starts on the first input. You can press new game and just sit your character there until you are ready as no time progression occurs within the game. In the game files if you swap map 1 with a later map you can actually bypass the menu entirely and it will boot straight into the game. I can maybe make a guide on that since it will make attempts faster for you all.
