Handler notes

Guide

Split-screen setup.
Run your main game before launching this, change some graphics settings, apply then close the game.
You need to create custom resolutions in your AMD/Nvidia/Intel panel (for example if you have a 1920x1080 monitor add: 1920x540, 960x1080, 960x540 etc.) before running the game via Nucleus so the game can see and use them, this way the instances will resize correctly without stretching.
Host a multiplayer game in one instance and join in the others. 4 players max, multiple controllers and one kb/m supported.
