  3. Take a seat

    Each player joins with their own keyboard and mouse and takes a spot on the screen. Pick a layout that fits your players.

    Playing with several keyboards and mice? Press End once everything is in place to give each window its own cursor.

  4. Launch and connect

    Press Launch: Nucleus opens one copy of Primal Carnage: Extinction per player and lays the windows out on your screen. Then link them in game, usually one player hosts a LAN or online session and the others join it. The handler notes say how.

  • Primal Carnage: Extinction for Windows

  • A PC that can run 32 copies

    Each player runs their own copy of Primal Carnage: Extinction, so the PC carries several times the usual load. Lower the graphics settings if it struggles. Performance tips

  • A multiplayer mode

    Nucleus links the windows through the game's own LAN or online mode; the handler takes care of it.

Handler notes

Read the handler notes very carefully. The game uses a lot of RAM now, see this guide for how to optimize: https://steamcommunity.com/app/321360/discussions/3/490121928352489427/

Humans vs Dinosaurs... do I need to say more?

Credit goes to Zerofox and Talos91 for the handler.
