Dragon Ball: Xenoverse 2

WARNING: For the latest game version 1.26.1 connecting the instances and starting a multiplayer game only works correctly in Windows 10, if you are on Windows 11 you will get stuck when the count reaches 0 after all players get ready in a lobby, downgrade to the previous game version 1.25.2 like mentioned below if you want the handler to work on Windows 11 too.

Fully CLOSE Steam before running this. So the instances launch and resize correctly make sure you ran your main game at least once and changed some graphic settings. You need the latest og steam_api64.dll for this handler to work correctly.

Split-screen setup guide.

You can change the resolution in the game graphic options to adjust better to the window size if you get black bars. You need to add custom resolutions in your AMD/Nvidia/Intel panel (for example for a 1920x1080 monitor add resolutions like: 960x1080, 1920x600 etc.) for the game to see and use them.

The online co-op missions and versus mode unlock after the fight against Raditz and after you beat the first offline parallel quest, host a lobby in one instance and join in the others using search game, try a second time if you get a connection error when hosting or joining a lobby.

If you want to use XV2PATCHER for mods you need to install it in your main files using the alternative dinput8.dll it includes and not the default xinput1_3.dll.

If you want to use your own Steam save file, the file is located in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata"your id"\454650\remote\DBXV21\DBXV2.sav. But simply replacing the savedata file is not enough because this game ties your save data to your player steam id, so you need to get your player steam id number, here is the easiest way to get it. Then you can paste your player steam id for the first player in Nucleus Co-op UI settings players tab and copy the save to its respective instance in C:\Users<your username>\NucleusCoop, you can access your saves per instance via the Nucleus Co-op UI after the handler first launch, right click the game icon and select open user profile save path in the UI.

You can also use this full save file and change its player steam id using this editor.

For Windows 11 users downgrade to game version 1.25.2 using the Steam console like this:
