But honestly? The 30 minutes you spend troubleshooting DLL errors, port forwarding, and Steam ID conflicts is worth more than the price of the game. Do yourself a favor: Have you gotten the cracked version to work? Let me know in the comments—or better yet, send the dev $10.

Disclaimer: The Long Drive is an excellent indie game developed by Genesz. Piracy deprives small developers of revenue. This guide is written for users who already own a legitimate copy and are interested in multiplayer modding, or for informational purposes only. I strongly recommend purchasing the game on Steam (it’s cheap!) to support updates and the official multiplayer beta.
