Handler notes

Split-screen setup guide.
Launch this with Steam opened. Go to the DigiLab to play mp battles, in the network battle panel select custom battle, create a room in one instance and join in the others using search room.
You can access each instance save folder via Nucleus, after the first launch click game options/open user profile save path in the UI, you can even use your main game save in all instances if you copy its files between folders, make sure your main game is in windowed if you do that.
If you use multiple keyboards/mice press the END key once to lock the input to restrict them correctly. Alt-tab to the Nucleus app window to balance fps. Disable Steam Input for this game in Steam for controllers to work correctly.
