Handler notes

Steam version only. Set your main game to windowed before running this and create multiple profiles. This is one of the rare games in the series without native split-screen.
Split-screen setup guide.
Select a different offline profile per instance using your main mouse cursor, select TrackMania² Stadium, go to Local Play, select Local Network and click on + Create in one instance, choose a mode, load a map and start a game, the other instances should see the LAN game now to join.
If you use multiple keyboards press the END key once in-game to lock the input to restrict them correctly. Alt-tab to the Nucleus app window to balance fps.
