  "Video Tutorial/showcase: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dumf4GCyAoQ (Outdated as it shows the old A.I Bot mod version instead of redux)\n\nIMPORTANT: This handler is made for the Gears of War Redux by Punished_Wolf, As of the release of this handler update, it is only being shared on the GOW PC Discord server: https://discord.gg/gearsofwarpc. If the invite link expires, you'll need to find a new one.\n\nTo use Native split screen with nucleus, place 2 controllers on one instance > press F1 in the menus to active native split screen\n\nCreate a LAN multiplayer game in one instance and join in the others. If you use keyboards and mice after all the instances have launched, resized and positioned correctly, press the END key once to lock the input for all instances to have their own working cursor and keyboard. You need to left click each mouse to make the emulated cursors appear after locking the input. Press the END key again to unlock the input when you finish playing. You can also use CTRL+Q to close Nucleus and all its instances when the input is unlocked.";
