Versions:
LiveSplit 1.8.33 is an open-source timing application engineered specifically for the speed-running community, offering a minimalist yet deeply customizable interface that tracks segment-by-segment performance across any PC game. Written in C# and built on a modular plugin architecture, the program displays a transparent, borderless window that can be layered over full-screen gameplay, showing current split, previous segment delta, possible time-save, and overall run comparison against personal best or world-record files. Users create or import split definitions that automatically detect game processes and trigger resets, pauses, or segment advances through configurable hot-keys, while global hot-keys keep the timer responsive even when the application is unfocused. Beyond basic counting, LiveSplit integrates with Speedrun.com to download leaderboards and submit verified runs, supports video capture synchronization for frame-perfect analysis, and offers component-based layouts that let runners add graphs, sub-splits, predicted finish, or donation tickers for charity marathons. The 1.8.33 release refines memory-reading accuracy for newer titles, adds Dark-Splitter and Llanfair file import, and updates the built-in Auto-Splitter repository so that community scripts for games such as Hollow Knight, Celeste, or Elden Ring are one click away. A portable executable requires no installation, stores configurations in local xml files, and can be synced across machines via cloud drives, making it equally practical for casual practice sessions, marathon relay races, or world-record attempts streamed to thousands of viewers. The software is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources (e.g. winget), always delivering the latest version, and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
