Hello, I want to try to speedrun this awesome game, and I have some questions. Is IGT required? Because you can see your total time in the end of chapter 15. And all records - it's not IGT time, It's time in the end of chapter 15. I finish AKUMU in 8+ hours and 110+ deaths, but I loaded checkpoints afrer every death, and I have only 5+ hours and 0 deaths (actually, serious, you can see screenshot in my steam profile) So, If I run this game with 4-5 hours, but If i will load every time after every death, it will only 3+ hours in chapter 15. If I will do that, can It be verified? Thank you. And sorry for my bad english.

Speedruns are done in single segment, meaning you gotta select new game or NG+ start from beginning to the end of the game. You cannot pause the game and select checkpoint during the run except if you encounter a glitch that stops progress. This is because of the bad optimization of the game. There are two glitches that can happen, one in CH7 where you can get stuck in place and unable to move. Somewhat rare but it can happen at the stairs just before CH7 skip. Another glitch which seems to have happened to only a number of people is in CH11 were the Gondola after the garage door segment does not spawn unless you checkpoint.

So yeah you need to do a run from start to finish, you can continue on if you die but no forced checkpoints.
