whats with speedrun timer between saves?

[5M0k1N]

is it supposed to be like this? where even if i load a save at the beggining of the map i get the time from where i am right now? is it a bug or should i just avoid quicksaves as thats what i read but now im seeing even loading normally keeps the timer ever increasing no matter what savegame i load

edit: so going to the main menu "fixes" this. you guys really need to fix it lol

You don't need to go to the main menu to reset the speedrun timer. Restarting the mission, then loading the quicksave will work too. I never really got an answer out of anyone whether that's intended or a bug but either way they either should fix the workaround or the timer not resetting - because no matter what: It doesn't work right.

There is a significantly faster workaround: create two separate saves of the same mission, let's say on normal and hardcore difficulty, so it would be easier to distinguish them from one another.
Assuming you're playing on normal, load a hardcore save, reload a normal save again, the speedrun timer resets.

There is a point in the timer being the way it is. If you speedrun a game you can't really just jump back in time and re-do something again after quicksaving, and if you could, speedrunning would be something a lot easier, requiring a lot less practice.

So to have the speedrun badges as close to actual speedrunning as possible, Mimimi probably thought to let the timer run through even though you save/load the game.

its odd that going back to the menu resets it though. theres also lots of games with speedruns where you can load and save as many times as you want. devs normally just set the timer taking that into consideration

Restart, going to main menu and loading same level on different difficulty not wotking. At least, timer on top of the pause menu shows same time without changes.
