Handler notes

Handler made for Renegade X: https://totemarts.games/games/renegade-x/downloads.html (not original Renegade)

Works with online servers and LAN. Supports multiple keyboard/mouse and controllers

In case you play online, use the official servers. Staff/moderators of the game said there was no problem in multiple clients joining the official servers, but unofficial servers might not like that.

About Renegade X

Renegade X is a free Tactical Shooter that brings the Command and Conquer FPS experience to Unreal Engine 3. Renegade X is developed by Totem Arts, an independent group of Command & Conquer fans from around the world dedicated to bringing the world of C&C to you, up close and personal. Two factions, the Global Defense Initiative (GDI) and the Brotherhood of Nod (Nod), are locked into a conflict over the green and mysterious resource Tiberium. The primary game mode is Command & Conquer (C&C/CnC), where your objective is to destroy your enemy's base using any and all means necessary.
