SpeedRunners 2 uses peer-to-peer (P2P) connections, meaning one player hosts the session instead of everyone connecting to a dedicated server. Because of this, the host’s connection and network settings can affect the whole group.

Before jumping online

Make sure that:

  • Everyone has installed the latest game update.

  • Your connection is stable and you aren’t using a VPN or proxy.

  • Console players have an active subscription for online multiplayer (PlayStation Plus, Game Pass, Nintendo Switch Online)


General troubleshooting

If you cannot host, join, or stay connected:

  1. Restart the game and your PC or console.

  2. Restart your router by unplugging it for around 30 seconds.

  3. Use a wired connection where possible, or move closer to your Wi-Fi router.

  4. Ask another player to host. With P2P multiplayer, changing hosts can make a big difference!

  5. Make sure your router has UPnP enabled and that your NAT type is not strict.

  6. Check whether your platform’s online services are experiencing an outage.

PC

  • Allow SpeedRunners 2 through your firewall and antivirus software.

  • Disable VPNs, proxies, and network-filtering software.

  • Verify the game files through your launcher.

  • Restart your launcher.

Open System Settings → Internet → Test Connection and check your NAT type. NAT Type A or B is best suited to online play.

If needed, follow Nintendo’s NAT troubleshooting guide.

PlayStation

Open Settings → Network → Connection Status → Test Internet Connection and check your NAT type. NAT Type 3 may prevent you from hosting or joining other players.

Go to Settings → General → Network settings, then run Test multiplayer connection and Test NAT type.
