At once side you have "optimistic me" who would love to win this contest.

On the other side you have "realistic me" who knows this is probably harder than completing Bloodborne...

Northerner You must do this Iron Man meaning no saving or reloading so, in one go.

This would probably kill me... If I only could save for a moment and continue later . I don't mean to reload saves when I die, it's just because I don't have the time to spent this long at once behind my laptop...

Of course, this way people could cheat, because you cannot check if they reload their saves and just don't send you the dying footage.

That would be an issue for me also. By the way, how would I take a video of my computer screen doing this?

Northerner The True Viking Challenge

viking? hold on while i steal the most cost effective ship design from your mod then spam it for the entire run lol

CrazyBirdie There are several ways to do it but I recommend nVidia Shadow Play personally.

dafeeeeeeeeeesh Good luck with that ha ha!

Northerner
oh wait i dont have editing software feels bad man

Northerner You must do this Iron Man meaning no saving or reloading so, in one go.

So is it permissible to save in order to exit and resume later, or not?

CrazyBirdie no, you have to do it in one go

dafeeeeeeeeeesh that fine I want raw footage anyway you can use nVidia Shadowplay to capture the run

Northerner no, you have to do it in one go

i cant do it in one go not enough free time sadly because my vacation is ending soon might be able to do it some time though i doubt ill be the first person to attempt it

I won't be able to do it either then

Old-Fashioned XCOM style!

Sombreroman Old-Fashioned XCOM style!

but you have to do it in a single run non stop though the entire campaign

i couldnt even get a single kill

Sombreroman The energy drink industry rejoices, lol.

A couple more comments.
1. What happens if it crashes while doing this?
2. How are you going to know if someone cut out saving the game; easy to do if you know how.

CrazyBirdie if it crashes that would suck... But there shouldn't be any crashes if there, and its related to my mod, let me know so I can fix it.

There are a lot of ways to tell if the video has been cut or edited one being the credits and ftl fuel amounts, frame skips, and the AI behaviors (in case they think they are clever and change difficulties)

But to answer your question there is no perfect solution to stop cheating but I am trying to make it as hard as possible to cheat.

As a side note anyone good enough to beat this isn't going to risk the run by attempting to cheat the amount of effort required to cheat this isn't worth the reward IMO which is why it's only a $20 bounty and not a $50 one like I wanted to do.

Northerner Alright. I used to have Cosmoteer crash a lot, but that was due to outdated video drivers. Once I updated them, it has worked fine for the most part.
One other thing, for if I can manage to try this. I usually alt-tab away during things like FTL jumps; would I need to keep the Cosmoteer screen up the entire time?
