endgame

Is it necessary to manually enter a command to end the race?
Can’t it be set to automatically force-end after 30 minutes?

It is configured to count laps.

The monument's lap counter is for a single player.

If a player quits or leaves the game midway and abandons the race,
will the race continue indefinitely?

The race ends when the first player completes the assigned laps.

So, until then, the race just keeps going forever, right?

yes

If a player enters the race alone, starts it alone,
then gets bored halfway through and leaves the game running without stopping it,
does that mean the game will keep measuring time indefinitely?

so,
Can’t it be set to automatically force-end after X minutes?

I think I remember that it stops in time, I'll talk to my programmer
