Try running the game in Windows 98 or 95 compatibility mode.

Hello, I have a couple of questions:

1. I can't get LiveSplit to work with the game. I simply can't control the timer, even with global hotkeys on (even in windowed mode). The game eats all of the inputs. Do you have an autosplitter to start the timer automatically?

2. Are custom resolutions allowed? I'd like to play at 2560x1440 but that resolution is obviously not supported. I found a patch ( https://community.pcgamingwiki.com/files/file/1726-ballance-widescreen-fix/ ), but I understand that you might not be comfortable accepting runs done on modified game versions.

3. Game stutters in windowed mode.

4. When does timing start for IL runs?

5. Do you have a speedrunning discord? I asked about the rules in the server linked here but it doesn't seem very active.

6. Is there a strategy archive of sorts? Or any tutorials/recourcses?

By the way, I've been playing around with BML and its included mods, and it's really well done. It fixes all the problems with compatibility and enables my desired resolution. It also includes a timer. This makes me wonder, could it be modified into a speedrun patch? (if it didn't include all the debug and tas stuff lol)

Don't boost from the stairs, break the window that's to the left of the stairs and do the boost from there. You won't get blocked by zombies there.

1. Watch this guide: 2 + 3. Read this guide: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1nZy4t2UsJiiYDcBq7zBz6wOJ6jISh3JiHTTwcM_jKWM/preview

If you have any more questions, I suggest you ask in our discord server, where the community is much more active.

Make sure you're comparing against game time.
