How I made a speedrun timer in D I semi-recently played through the original Deus Ex, and enjoyed my time with it so much that I felt like getting into speedrunning it, which ended up with me having to create a custom speedrun timer that “injects” itself into the game in order to implement features such as auto-splitting and load time removal.
