But since you clicked on this guide, you must have run into an error where the game is forced to start in the Split Screen Mode. There are many players like yourself and all of them want to know the fix for it. So, let us see how you can get the game to start normally.
The official game for the Tour de France 2024 features a split-screen mode for multiplayer, but many solo players are experiencing this issue when the game launches with a forced split-screen mode. This problem can occur even when playing in solo mode, with the split screen appearing at the beginning of a stage. But luckily, the developers have a few words to share, which we shall go over next!
Tour de France 2024 game starting in Split Screen mode: How to fix it
The good news is that both the developers and community managers on the Steam discussion forums have acknowledged this issue and provided some workarounds. This means that the developers are aware of this problem, and there might be a resolution soon. So, while a permanent fix may be in the works, here are the suggested workarounds for the same:
First things first
First of all, start by restarting the system, launching the game with administrative privileges, and attempting to press Alt + Enter during the game’s launch. While these steps are not officially suggested by developers or community managers, they are the first things to do before you move on to other workarounds.
Unplug and Plug Controller
If the initial checks mentioned above do not fix the issue, another simple fix that worked for some players was a simple controller unplug and plug. First, unplug your controller, then launch the game without it connected, and finally reconnect the controller after the game has started.
GPU updates
Another workaround is to check for updates for your GPU (Graphics Processing Unit). Check that your GPU drivers are up-to-date, as there might be some compatibility issues with the old drivers that may be causing the split-screen problem. Just visit the official website of your GPU manufacturer and check if there is an update pending for the GPU you use. If yes, download and install the update and launch the game.
Steam Input (dev recommended)
A workaround recommended by developers involves opening your Steam client, right-clicking on the game in the library, selecting Properties, then the Controller tab, and choosing “Disable Steam Input” for Tour de France 2024. After this, you can restart Steam and then launch the game to check if the issue persists.
Check for game updates
With the issue acknowledged, the developers will likely release patches or updates that address known issues like this one. So, open your Steam client and check if there are new updates/patches for the game available. If there are any pending, download and install them!
With those workarounds, we hope that you are able to enjoy the game without the forced Split Screen. That said, this is all for this guide but do stay in touch with DigiStatement for more gaming reads like this. Read more: Parkitect Steam Deck, Lenovo Legion Go & Asus Rog Ally Support Details
