Install instructions

Unzip the files and open the UE_HandyWorld_4_27.exe file.

If you suspect that the game doesn't track your hand, please try accessing the Camera test level from the startup menu. Within the Camera test level, If a screen showing your raw webcam feed fails to automatically spawn in a few seconds, the game is failing to access your webcam for some reason.

  • Check if your webcam is properly connected to your computer and is set up properly for use.
  • Make sure you are using the correct hand. The game only uses one hand at a time, and you can change between your left and right hand on the startup menu.
  • Make sure another process isn't accessing the webcam already.
  • Make sure the directory of the game file's placement does NOT include any non-English characters. ASCII characters only.
