Online troubleshooting
SpeedRunners 2 stuck loading into an online match?
If an online match keeps loading, restart the game and check that your game and platform service are current. If you control a private lobby, try another host: SpeedRunners 2 uses player-hosted P2P sessions, so the host's connection can affect joining. If it repeats, test without a VPN, try a wired connection, and check your NAT/UPnP settings. These are troubleshooting steps, not a guaranteed fix for every loading screen.

First identify where it stops
A recent SpeedRunners 2 player reported that online matches could remain on the loading screen for more than two minutes, particularly in 8-player races and Tournaments. That is a player report, not an official timeout or a proven cause. This guide is for loading into an online match; it does not diagnose a game that never reaches the main menu.
- Note the mode, whether it is a private lobby, and whether the game shows an error code.
- Restart the stalled attempt and the game. Check for an available game update and a platform-service outage before changing network settings.
- If a private group can choose its host, have a different player host and compare the result.
Check the connection, then the PC
tinyBuild's SpeedRunners 2 connectivity guide recommends a stable connection, avoiding VPNs or proxies, and checking the host connection for P2P sessions. If the problem persists, try wired Ethernet or move closer to Wi-Fi, restart your router for about 30 seconds, and check whether strict NAT or disabled UPnP is preventing connections. On PC, verify the game files and check whether firewall, antivirus, or network-filtering software is blocking the game. Change one condition at a time so you can tell what helped.
When to contact tinyBuild support
If the same mode still hangs after those checks, use the official support article and contact path. Include the mode, the approximate wait, any error text, platform, NAT type if known, and whether you can host or join a private match. The support guide also explains how PC players can collect in-game logs with Ctrl+L. Do not delete save data or assume that a long load proves a save or server failure.
