Multiplayer types

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Local play | 4 | Local players can go online too. | ||
| LAN play | 10 | Players on the same network will be directly connected. Requires an internet connection for Steam authentication.[1] | ||
| Online play | 10 | The Matchmaking option does not have Region options. Thus, The Matchmaking is available for Multi-Region. However, if you have 128 friends who had the game already, entering the Matchmaking will crash the game and there is no fixes unless you have to delete it few from the friend list and it will fix the crash. | ||
Connection types
| Type | Native | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Matchmaking | It's also possible to play privately on matchmaking. | |
| Peer-to-peer | ||
| Dedicated | ||
| Self-hosting | Players can create custom matches, but P2P networking is still used. | |
| Direct IP | Players can join other friends through their Steam profiles. Additionally, there's a way to make matchmaking lobbies private. |
Private Matchmaking lobbies
- Private matches can be created more easily by using the Custom Game option. This hack of sorts is intended for private ranked matchmaking lobbies only.
- Although not an official option, it is possible to play privately on matchmaking mode by using the -internalid command line argument.[2]
- This option will force the game to connect only with players who are using the same internalid.

Issues fixed
Stuttering
- Stuttering can be caused by high frame rates (>60 FPS).
- Turning on V-sync resolves this problem.[3]
Launcher.exe has stopped working (Windows 8)
- Application crashes with error message: Problem Event Name: APPCRASH
- Running Launcher.exe in compatibility mode for Windows 7 will fix this error.
Low Audio Volume
- Volume level is very soft in game.
- Fix the issue by going to Control Panel => Hardware and Sound => Sound. On the communications tab, choose "do nothing". (Note: This fix also applies to Batman: Arkham Origins.)
Issues unresolved
Missing objects on ATI Radeon HD3000
(also on entry-level Radeon HD4000; mid- and high-end models work fine)
- Objects like the water and boost pads, essential to gameplay, will not render at all.[4]
- No single fix for every system.
- This is a driver issue, and not much can be done about it.
- It may be partially fixed by messing about with the game's settings and window (minimizing, moving it, or even opening UAC prompts),[5] but even this will only make the objects slightly visible and still hard to see.
Shadow stripes
- This occurs on some old NVIDIA GPUs, like the GeForce 7600GS (AGP8x). Unfortunately, there is no known fix.[6]

Notes
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 Notes regarding Steam Play (Linux) data:
- File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data.
- Games with Steam Cloud support may also store data in
~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/212480/. - Use Wine's registry editor to access any Windows registry paths.
- The app ID (212480) may differ in some cases.
- Treat backslashes as forward slashes.
- See the glossary page for details on Windows data paths.
