How to play Vagante split screen on PC

  1. Get Nucleus Co-op

    Download Nucleus Co-op, free for Windows 10 and 11, and unzip it into its own folder, for example C:\NucleusCo-op. There is no installer.

    Keep it out of Program Files, your user folder and OneDrive.

    Download Nucleus Co-op

  2. Install the Vagante handler

    In Nucleus Co-op, search the Hub for Vagante and install its handler, or download the handler file from this page and drop it on the Nucleus window. Then show Nucleus where Vagante is installed.

  3. Take a seat

    Each player presses a button on their own controller to join and takes a spot on the screen. Pick a layout that fits your players.

  4. Launch and connect

    Press Launch: Nucleus opens one copy of Vagante 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.

What you need

  • A Windows 10 or 11 PC

    Nucleus Co-op runs on Windows only. System requirements

  • Vagante for Windows

    Installed on that PC. Nucleus starts every player's window from that one install.

  • Nucleus Co-op, free

    With .NET Framework 4.7.2 or later and the Visual C++ 2015–2022 runtimes (x86 and x64). Download

  • Something to play with

    One controller per player; one player can use the keyboard and mouse. Controllers

  • A PC that can run 4 copies

    Each player runs their own copy of Vagante, 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 in the UI very carefully. The game already has 4 player local co-op but shared screen, with this each player gets his own screen and you can use different monitors, you can separate without the map zooming out. If you select LAN in the Nucleus UI player options the handler will launch all instances under your Steam account, you can unlock Steam achievements using this option.
