Hey there, a few weeks ago I wanted to start speedrunning this game again. In the meantime my monitor has changed from a standard 60Hz one to a 144Hz one.

While doing some runs I did notice that the door transitions were faster than I remembered. While investigating this issue I realized that this is caused by the VSync option in the options menu. While transitioning between areas the framerate ramps up to 144fps just to slow down again after the transition.

This is an issue because the current rankings are done based on real time. As runners are able to archieve a significant benefit from having a different refresh rate on their monitors I would consider adding a rule to disable VSync. Another option would be to use IGT or the built-in TIme Attack mode for time measurement.
