How can I play together with my friend?
You have to open a private online lobby via Play Game>Online>Create Private Lobby. Your friend can then join you by either
- right-clicking you in your Steam friends list and then selecting “Join Game”,
- clicking on your Discord icon and the clicking on “Ask to Join”,
- or entering the session ID after navigating in-game to Play Game>Online>Join Private Lobby.
Or, while being in the lobby, you can click on the + in the Discord message bar and on “Invite <channel> to play Unrailed!” to send an invite out to a channel.

I have no friends around to play with or I am looking for some players to fill up my team. Where can I find a team?
Join us on our Discord https://discord.gg/f5mBuWv and check out the crew-finding channel.

My friend cannot connect to my lobby!
Make sure both of your Unrailed! installations are up to date and have the same version. You can find the version number in the main menu below the title.

How can I change the language?
Start the game, walk and click on “Settings” and then on “Language” in the game.
Alternatively, you can delete the file %appdata%\...\Local\Daedalic Entertainment GmbH\Unrailed\language.txt (in case it exists) and change the language with Steam by right-clicking on the game in the library, then select “Properties”, click on the language tab and choose your language.

Where can you change the graphic settings?
In the main menu, walk and click on Settings>Graphics.
Alternatively, in %appdata%\...\Local\Daedalic Entertainment GmbH\Unrailed\settings.txt you can find a line “quality x” where x is a number. Change x to 0 for low settings to 1 for medium settings, to 2 for high settings and to 3 for exquisite settings.

I want to or do not want to play online on Chinese servers.
In case you are located in China, we highly recommend using Chinese servers and in case you are not located in China, we highly recommend not using Chinese servers.

● Method 1: To change the region to China or to something else but China you can select or deselect China as a region in your operating system (Win10: Settings>Time & Language > Region > Choose a region in the dropdown menu there).

● Method 2: In the Steam library, right click on Unrailed!, then on “Properties” and in the general tab click on “set launch options”. Here, enter “china” (without quotes) to force selecting the Chinese online servers or “nochina” to force selecting the non-Chinese servers.

How can I report bugs?
First make sure to have Settings>Telemetry set on to submit crash reports automatically.
If you have a bug that does not crash the game or you want add a description to a bug, report the bug using the “Report a Bug” button in the main menu. In general, the more descriptive you are in this report, the better for us. So feel free to add as many screenshots or even videos as you want!
Alternatively, if you feel the bug needs some discussion, you can additionally report it in the bugs channel on Discord.
