Game Rules Cleanup

Hi all, RyuHousen here. I've begun cleaning up the game rules for all the games I mod. Nothing substantial was removed, just clarified for easier reading. Here's how they currently look for K2:

Please see each category's rules for explanations on their individual rule sets.

  1. For PC runs, you MUST use the provided load remover on Livesplit. An FPS counter must also be visible to ensure the game is capped to 60 FPS. Steam's in-game FPS counter, RTSS via MSI Afterburner, or other FPS counters are acceptable. If your hardware prevents the in-game FPS cap from working (i.e. dropping from 60 to ~40), you can use Nvidia Control Panel or the AMD equivalent to force the game to run at 60 FPS.

  2. For console runs, you MUST submit your time ONLY under "time with loads". You may NOT use the game's in-game timer, it is not reliable.

  3. Timer must be on screen at all times and not obscure any important HUD details (i.e. health bars).

  4. All runs require game audio.

  5. Difficulty must be shown being selected on the VOD before hand, as that is where time starts in most categories.

  6. If your game crashes (On Console or PC) the timer can be stopped. You're allowed to pause the timer and quit out once to circumnavigate a crash, but please mention in your submission where you do it. This is the only time the timer can be stopped.

  7. Failure to comply with any of the above rules will result in your run being rejected.

Note: Currently the auto splitter does not work at the start of Any% Normal and the end of any difficulty for Any%. For Majima Saga - Normal Difficulty does not auto start and does not auto stop on Ibuchi's defeat, so in all these cases, you'll have to manually split for those.
