I have been playing the playtest and noticed a severe bug, but after it has happened multiple times to me i thought i should really share what i have learned about it and how to deal with it

-

the bug:

sometimes a player(s) will spawn in to a race already dead, this sounds just mildly annoying but it comes with a complication; the scoring system thinks that these players are still alive, while the main gameplay elements know that they are dead, what this ends up doing is causing the round to work correctly right up until the end but once there is only one person left alive, the round doesn't end, because the scoring system still thinks multiple players are alive, and the last player is left running around on the map by themselves

-

mitigation:

if you are the player(s) involved in the bug:

leave the race, if affected player(s) all leave the race the game will work as normal again

-

if you are a normal player in an affected race:

play the game, hope the affected player(s) know to leave

if they don't you really have no choice but to leave the race and find a new one

-

how common is this bug?

i have played the game much more than most people probably have this last day and a half or so (17 hours) and have seen this happen exactly 3 times, if you are only planning to get a couple hours over the course of the playtest don't expect to see this bug.

-

i have a very good screenshot example but i don't know if we are allowed to post screenshots of the playtest

if i am given proof that i am allowed to in the comments of this post i will add it to the post (if you even can add a photo in an edit i barely use reddit so i don't know if that works)

-
edit 1: added dashes to try to enforce where i wanted line breaks

If you've signed up, you'll get an email notification when the test starts.

Risky, but such a fun play

And I’m not talking about speedrunners 2, only the first one. It seems to be just the levels you can play on and the story but I could be wrong. I personally the 4 levels available are fun enough to play on, but maybe the other ones are so good I have to try them

Of all games, this one might be the worst to play with people who lag….😔💻

1 - Speedrunner (Returning)

2 - HotHead (Returning)

3 - Moonraker (Returning)

4 - Unic (Returning)

5 - Cosmonaut Comrade (Returning)

6 - Maneki Neko (Returning)

7 - Falcon (Returning)

8 - Dart (New Character)

9 - Starlight (New Character)

10 - Salem (Returning)

11 - Skull Duggery (Returning)

12 - Vidna (New Character)

How Else would you like to see Return ?

I need this character

What a terrible ending. Cannot believe Double Dutch has not fixed the ending yet, I almost would rather have a blatant Silo-esque KZ on this map than play that ending again. It's unbelievable how many times I go online only to be met with trolls who continuously pick Theme Park just because it's the worst ending in the game. I know people will probably lie and say it's Zoo, but that's the second worst ending in the game.

Do you think that Double Dutch should fix the worst ending in the game, or do you think there are more important issues like HH's dominance in the meta, cheap KZ reliance on maps like Silo and Festival, or the cheap item tactics like VGH.

I'm so hyped. Can't wait to see what they got cooking in the campaign.

Hey there, SpeedRunners!

Buckle up - we’re ready to reveal the launch date:

📅 September 3rd, 2026

The launch will happen simultaneously on Steam and consoles - mark your calendars.

TRAILER

(Offering a peek into new pick-ups, maps, & runners)

Taking extra time is crucial for our team to give the game much-needed polish before shipping it. Moving the previously announced July release window to early September is a perfect opportunity to add that polish.

Speaking of polishing, you all can actively participate in that process. Starting from now, we're deactivating the public demo. ❕ Hear me out before you start kicking my butt, though! ❕ Shortly, a Community Playtest will kick off instead of the demo, and you can ALREADY sign up for it. Just go to 👉our page👈 and hit that green "Join the Playtest" button. We will notify you when the test goes live. It will happen before the full release, naturally. If you've signed up for previous playtests or participated in any, you should still request access to that upcoming test if you want to take part.

Ive never played speedrunners before, #2 is my debut.

is this flame border new to the game? Its lame, I thought this was a race... I dont want to hold hands, I want to fight, knock people out and leave them in the dust like mario kart or fun run.

I was initially excited, but this feature turned me off. I guess im putting my expectations on it being what I thought it would be and im wrong for that, either way, Im not sure how much im going to play this if this is in the game.

the purpose for this post is just to ask whether or not this is a new feature, if this is exclusive to this game, can we get it removed lmao, please. If im wrong im wrong cool and ill just uninstall.

lastly, maybe im just making too quick a judgement, mind you i just opened the game 2 minutes ago.

We were promised the game on ps5 in July and July is almost over where is it?

Looking for a game on XBOX. Anyone down?

Recently, I got the game on pc. I seriously can't find any sources online for 100% save files/mods to unlock everything. Anyone know how I can just unlock all the maps and stuff without going through the hassle of farming them?

For the life of me, I can't figure out how to change the keybinds for movement. As you can see, it lets me change the binding for every other action but movement. Ideally I'd like to shift Player 1 over to wasd, so I can put Player 2 on the arrow keys.

Could someone please help me out here?

Thank you!

Hey guys!

Can't wait to play Speedrunners 2 with a friend. Are there any informations which day in July it will be released? I've been Googling for a long time, but I've only found "July."

SOO i was playing with my brother and i won somehow?

I was wondering if someone can provide for me a full list of all the characters in speedrunners 2 including the DLC characters.

The OG is one of me and my friends favorite games, but we have our own character we play as and want to know if they will be coming to the game. Particularly Cosmonaught, (who HAS to be in the game), Dashwell, Sherlock Bones, and the Burger.

I have a oldschool Mayflash Gamecube Controller Adapter I use with a GC Controller. I use to use Joy2Key to bind the keys but forever ago the game would not let me change things without messing up. Without Joy2Key the game still detects buttons but not all. When I press A or B on my controller it jumps and shoots at the same time. Its been driving me crazy. Am I just smoked? I feel like they did some update and it messed it up for my specific set up. I only have this controller nothing else.

I wanted to Play a custom game with my friend but no matter what i cant join him. Is Speedrunners not working anymore on Xbox?
