Getting started
Longshot is built on your PC, from your own copy of the game, by the Longshot Launcher. It takes three steps. We do not host, store, or distribute game files, ROMs, game dumps, or decryption keys.
1. Check your PC
Your copy of the game must be the supported version, and your PC needs a Vulkan 1.3 graphics card with 4 GB of video memory (8 GB and mesh shaders recommended), 16 GB of memory and about 60 GB free while building. See what you need.
2. Download the launcher
Then follow the Windows steps or the Linux steps (on Linux and SteamOS, the AppImage has to be made runnable first). Every channel, and the file for your system, is on the download page.
3. Build and play
Point the launcher at your game and press Build: it takes 10 to 45 minutes. Then press Play. The first start prepares the game’s shaders, so it’s slower than the next ones.
See the in-game menu for settings and controls. If something goes wrong, start with Common problems and the README’s troubleshooting.
