Hello Speedrun.com! I'm thinking of doing some speedruns of this game and I have some questions regarding the speedrun and tools. I mostly wanted to ask about two things.

Firstly, if I were to use the excel document mentioned in the rules for in-game time calculations, would it be allowed to quickly stop a run on the results screen to fill in the document or are runners only allowed to fill it after the speedrun is done? Considering the game is run with in-game time, I don't think it would impact the run in any way.

Secondly, do any autospliters exist for this game for Livesplit so it provides in-game time/splits after completing levels?

Thirdly, are speedruns on newest update allowed currently or is that still being worked on?

Sorry if these questions are stupid but I wanted to ask for ease-of-access. Thank you for any responses!

Welcome!

1. You can do that but obviously it's a bit cumbersome so see 2

2. Yes there is an auto splitter for live split so if you want to see your total time as your are running though I would recommend that. To use it just >edit splits> set your game to Ultrakill and it should automatically appear and you can enable it from there.

3. Yes speedruns for the latest patch are allowed. There might be an embargo once the game comes out of EA bc there is a lot of stuff I want to rework but that wont be for a while. You will have to compete with runs from previous patches but with the new weapons and stuff you should be able to find ways to save time for yourself.

GL with the runs

Thank you for the answers! I'll be sure to try out the autosplitter!

Thank you!!
