dll files from step 2 into this Components directory. Inside of the LiveSplit directory, navigate to the Components directory.There is no proper installation tool for LiveSplit, it just runs out of the box so it could still be in your Downloads directory if you never moved it. It should be in a directory named something like LiveSplit_1.8.10 (or different numbers depending on your version). Navigate to where your LiveSplit is installed.
Please see information in either game to learn about known issues, if any exist. Also there could be some scenerios in which they break. These seem to work VERY well on my end, however different setups may cause different issues. Video with information and installation: (out of date) Please also see the change log in each load remover's description regarding the reason for updates to. XSplit also has a Virtual Camera feature. Since OBS version 26 the previosly required OBS-VirtualCam is no longer strictly needed, as from this release onwards a virtual cam feature is shipped with OBS itself.
You also need to get a video source from your game into the VAS component. Instructions for installation are already provided by the VAS github, but I will cover them as well. Both the HZD and TLOU2 efforts are intended to be used with LiveSplit using the Video Auto Splitter (VAS) component. These load removers are based on reading the HUD in particular places. If the tools are effective enough, this will eliminate the need to manually calculate your In-Game Time (IGT) through use of a video editor, which can be a laborious task for both runners and leaderboard moderators. These efforts are intended to aid the communities to make live speedrunning times more comparable and therefore, hopefully, more enjoyable. I am active in the Horizon Zero Dawn and The Last Of Us (1/2) communities. vas files here: Releases Page Load Removers
