Handler notes

Create an expedition mode online room and join in the other instances. Gamepads only as the game lacks mouse support and has bad keyboard controls.

If you use a laptop the game has the issue of using the integrated gpu by default, you can fix that if you enable keep symlink and assign your dedicated gpu to the instances exes: https://www.alphr.com/set-default-graphics-card/
