The game Apotheon has a crash problem that happens with 100% of certainty during the run. Should we pause the timer when the game crashes? If yes, when it should be unpaused?
Thread title:
I don't think so in general. It is "real-time", so your final time is the amount of real time that passed between the start and the end of your run.
But, I think it also depends on the rules used by the community that speed-runs the game, if one exists.
Also, if it significantly impacts on the runner's ability to compete with other people who potentially have better setups than the runner does, I think that the timing would be done in a more fair manner.
