Frequently Asked Questions

Q: I messed up my controls in Panel Attack, and now it's going crazy. Help?

A: Try clicking on the "Configure Input" menu item and then "Reset to default controls" with your mouse.

If that doesn't work you need to close Panel Attack and delete the file that saves your input settings. On windows, you can type this into the start menu search to get to the right folder:

%appdata%\Panel Attack
then delete keysV2.txt and keysV3.json

Q: What can I do if my controller inputs aren't detected even though the controller works in other games?

A: Please make sure that Steam is fully closed when starting Panel Attack.
Steam has its own compatibility tools to make sure controllers work with games in Steam and sometimes intercepts controller signals.
If you are starting the game for the first time you also have to bind the controller inputs to Panel Attack's controls via "Configure Input" in the main menu.

Q: I have two computers. Can I use the same name / user_id on both, so all my matches get tracked to the same account?

A: Yes, please do. After you've logged into the Panel Attack server(s) once:
On your first computer, Go to "Options" -> "Modify User ID" -> "panelattack.com" and write down the number listed there.
Then go to the same spot on your second computer and type or paste that number in.

Q: How do I access replays?

A:Replays of all the games your client has played or spectated are stored as files on your computer in %appdata%\Panel Attack\replays
Publicly saved replays are stored here. You can adjust whether your replays are saved publicly in the Panel Attack options menu. They are arranged into folders by Panel Attack version, then date (UTC time), then player names.


Once you have downloaded the file for the replay you want to watch, copy it to %appdata%\Panel Attack\replays, then relaunch panel attack and find it with the Replay Browser at the main menu.

Q: How can I create and install mods?

A:Please check here for instructions on installing mods. Documentation on mods is available ingame under "Options" -> "About".

Q: Panel Attack only shows a black screen, what can I do?

A: The AMD 22.7.1 graphics driver is known to cause rendering problems with all LOVE2D games, including Panel Attack.
Please upgrade your graphics driver to 22.8.1 or higher.
