Version 1.7.2 is now in public beta with several fixes and improvements
Built in support for LiveSplit
Pichón has gathered a very active community of speedrunners, and they requested autosplit support. This is normally done by players by using tools like Cheat Engine to track the memory locations of certain variables. Unfortunately, due to how the engine manages memory, this approach was unfeasible.
However, there is something called LiveSplit Server which enables games to command LiveSplit directly, no funny ram business involved.
This version implements autosplit support via LiveSplit Server. Here's a tutorial on how to enable it:
