I'm sorry, i don't get what you're saying, what's "having more windows open" mean? Did you mean like more application open? I don't get it (sorry my English is a little off)
i recorded my day1 only and got 6 sec behind, but i dont know what makes my run faster compared to others. In my 35min run i used ds4windows for my controller to remap R2 to next button for livesplit, thats all i do. If this is not recreatable you can nullify my run and count it as cheating or smth.
if this helps, my CPU is Ryzen7 5800XD, RTX 3070, and on old SSD
I FORGOT IN THE END TO SHOW THE EXTRAS-ACHIEVEMENTS BECAUSE I RUSHED TO END THE RECORDING IM SORRY
So after watching all the runs and the guides, I simplified the guides to only Button Input (for controller only) and uploaded to the guides section. Here's how to read the guide: https://www.speedrun.com/coffee_talk/guides/4lccc
"X" is for confirm button
"R-L-D" is for directional button Right-Left-Down
"5L" or "DR" means pressing left 5 times and Down Right
You can input the button as soon as the camera went zoomed out (even when the menu hasn't showed up yet)
Hopefully somebody can use it! Happy speedrunning folks!
