Second run: now with guides basically ripped off of the current world record: charlocharlie's 1:21:14 run.
As you might notice on the top-right corner of the timer, that was my 8th attempt. I was failing at the beginning like I never did before.
I also ended up failing or ignoring quite a bit of the guides. Part of my time losses were due to getting lost, so then I just ignored the guide's directions and used the GPS. Then on Fading Signal, I got lost trying to get out of the area, forgetting that I was going to fast travel to the silo anyway, so that didn't matter.
On the other hand, I saved around 20 minutes over my first run, taking the current 5th place of 1:49:22, so let's not complain. And that's just how much you improve.
I'll probably do another run, but I don't think I can improve it enough to take the current 4th place of 1:29:52 without several practice runs, and I'm more of a casual speedrunner, so after the next run, I won't try again unless I see big potential for improvement - I'm not of the type who reruns over a few seconds.
And it's pretty sad that I had to edit Speed Guides Live's code to resize it's window.

Runs on the leaderboard are now timed with loads removed. The autosplitter is recommended to be used if you are running on PC to obtain the time with loads removed. Console runs will also be split from PC now because of this.
