hi, i'd like to submit a speedrun. however, my laptop is ass when trying to record something, so a screenshot would be the only clear proof for a speedrun. thanks

It's a general rule across speedrunning that you must have a video as proof.

what do you use when you record? also screenshots would not be enough proof sorry.

in order to prevent a number of ways thatd make cheating pretty easy, video footage is required for speedruns here. in my experience, obs can be configured in a number of ways to record even when it has minimal resources, if youre interested, theres a discord link on this site that if you can join, and id be happy to see i can help get things working with you

Highly recommend OBS. Easy to set up and download.

Rules Change
  • The top 3 session recording requirement has been removed.
  • Now top 10 runs require Steam Overlay's in-game FPS counter to be enabled and visible in the recording, preferably with high contrast.
  • If you have problems with the overlay disappearing, try running Steam as administrator.
  • If using OB
