Speed Demon

I am moderator of Cell to Singularity page on speedrun.com and wanted to ask here when timer for singularity starts: since game loading or since the first input (click), but I remembered, that I can check it in run videos and understood that timer starts when you entering evolution tree, clicks before it didn't starting the timer.

Okay

Why you still didn't speedrunned Cell to Singularity

I was trying to get the 2 minute singularity achievement, but my cutscenes reset every time I restart for some reason. Because I have to go through all of the cut scenes again suddenly, I can’t seem to get a time under 5 minutes (and it’s a pain to try and upgrade everything after singularity with the cutscenes there again.) Is this a bug? Is there a way to turn this off?
