  1. The timing system has been changed in 1.6 to be more accurate and robust. This should get rid of some issues in previous versions such as the time jumping midrun or drifting heavily.
  2.  
  3. LiveSplit 1.0 - 1.1: Only uses Windows Time.
  4.  
  5. LiveSplit 1.2 - 1.5: Uses GetTickCount, Windows Time, and QueryPerformanceCounter. Averages together the two systems that are closest together.
  6.  
  7. LiveSplit 1.6: Only uses QueryPerformanceCounter. Removes timer drift caused by not perfectly accurate CPU timer by connecting to time.windows.com to retrieve the change in internet time, comparing this to the change in QPC, and estimating the drift on the PC (this drift is gradually adjusted over all LiveSplit sessions).
