Runner FAQ

Before you enter the circuit.

Short answers for installing, connecting your account, and understanding what is live in the preview.

Do I need an account?

Connected play uses your website account and a short device approval code. Offline Test Mode is available when the service is unavailable, but progress may not sync.

Is multiplayer live?

Yes, connected accounts can use multiplayer lobbies. The game prefers the VPS WebSocket relay, then falls back to the website's authenticated HTTP lobby service when the relay is not detected.

What do I download?

The public release is focused on the Windows installer. If the installer is not generated yet, the page will say so instead of showing a fake button.

Where does the game install?

The installer is prepared for a per-user install under LocalAppData with Start Menu and optional desktop shortcuts.

What happens if the server is down?

The game shows an API unavailable warning and offers Offline Test Mode when configured.
