FAQ
Short answers about the early alpha.
Is Cover 2 finished?
No. It is an early alpha. Some features are unfinished and you will run into bugs. The patch notes list what changed in each update.
What do I need to play?
A 64-bit Windows PC, a keyboard and mouse, and an internet connection. Cover 2 is Windows only for now.
How do I get an account?
Registration is currently closed. Accounts are invite-only during the alpha.
Why do I have to log in to download?
During the alpha, only accounts can download the installer. Once you are logged in, the download button appears on the home and download pages.
How do I install and update the game?
Run the installer from the download page, then open Cover 2. The launcher downloads the game and installs updates for you.
Do I have to play the quarterback?
Yes. On offense you call the play, then you play the quarterback yourself.
- Move with W, A, S and D.
- Aim with the mouse.
- Left-click for a normal pass, double left-click for the hardest pass, right-click for a high lob.
Who can I play against?
You can play exhibitions against the computer, games against friends, and league games against other coaches (or the computer when no one else is available). Exhibitions and friend games do not affect your franchise. League games do.
Can I make my own team?
Yes. When you create your franchise, you name your team, upload a logo and design your uniforms.
Will my progress be kept?
Not always. An update can reset franchises. Check the patch notes after each update.
Can I play online?
Yes. You need to be logged in to play, even for exhibitions. Friend games and league games are played online. During the alpha they run on a test server, which restarts when updates go out. A game in progress can be interrupted when that happens.
How do I report a bug?
Press F5 during a game to open the bug report window, then describe what went wrong. The report includes details of the game you were playing, which helps us find the problem.
What information do you keep?
Your account keeps your username, email address and password. Your franchise and game data are saved online so you can play with others. A bug report includes what you send with it.
