Hi all. I plan to run the PC version of this game soon and will be using the new rebirth patch. This might be a dumb question but would like to be sure as it's not in the rules. Can we tab out of this game during a run? Especially during the cutscenes as they are long and plenty of them? Would it be valid with ignore focus at least if not? I know the sound cuts out when tabbed out on that setting but just want to check! Thanks!

The rules say "no desynced audio" but I've never seen a run with the sound muted so I'm not sure. I personally don't think i'd be an issue but it could make the run harder to verify.

I'd personally love if the patch allowed the sound to stay playing when not the active window like you see in many emulators. That'd be the best of both worlds here

Just drink tea, eat cookies or update apps on your phone as I used to :D.

I am agree that cutscenes are annoying. No problem if you play the game just for relax... But in "speedrun mode" I don't want to watch these cutscenes at all after 10th restart already...

Alright very cool. Thanks all. Sorry for the late response. I'll have to take a look into indirect. And I'll be having tea today 😂
