And yeah, it would also be unfair because older runs with those problems got denied

Failentin

@NoTeefy Hm, I don't rly get what you mean tbh :/ Being allowed to submit a run with a crash always carries the risk that the run might have been edited, what does retiming the run have specifically to do with that?

NoTeefy

Oh you were talking about retiming, my bad then 😄

NoTeefy

Thought you meant that you would cut the run before submitting it to get rid of the crash downtime

NoTeefy

Retiming should be allowed. I mean I can also update the autosplitters to pause the timer when the game's closed

NoTeefy

Would make it the fairest then

NoTeefy

But it would also allow people to just alt + f4 their game if they need to go to the toilet or something and that's a thing that's not liked in the speedrun community

ViGadeomes

so don't do that x)

NoTeefy

In my opinion that's just a random factor, it happens and can happen for everyone. I also had cases where I would have gotten a WR in another game that I ran but got a random softlock which I couldn't prevent

NoTeefy

That's just one of the risks for every speedrun/game you play

NoTeefy

But we should really spam them till they fix those crashes. It's annoying as hell

NoTeefy

I even had a few crashes when playing through the game casually without any speed strats and stuff

Failentin

Yeah, making the timer pause while booting the game up after a crash wouldn't be a good idea

NoTeefy

Which brings me to my point, we can't really change anything about it except to get the devs to fix them

NoTeefy

It's not like those crashes are related to any strats we (ab)use but from the engine itself

Failentin

@NoTeefy Hm, still don't quite agree with your point :VitrioThinks:

Personally, I think the crashes should be ignored *because* they're such a random factor. Running would be much fairer and more fun if crashes wouldn't able to ruin your run randomly.

ViGadeomes

for me it's part of speedrunning

ViGadeomes

and gaming in general

ViGadeomes

you have to do with

NoTeefy

^^ this. Everyone has the same chances of getting a crash/softlock, that's why it's totally fair
