Launch the private-server version of Knockout City with this launcher project.
About Launcher
Launcher is an unofficial community tool for the private server version of Knockout City, created for PC players following the June 2023 shutdown of official Velan Studios servers. It automates the manual command line configuration required to run the game on private servers, and includes tools to install the game, browse available servers, and launch matches. The launcher works natively on Windows, with Linux and Steam Deck support via Wine. It offers features including a public server list with live player counts, local private server hosting, secure server authentication, and auto-updates for both the launcher and game. It is not affiliated with Velan Studios, and the supported game version lacks official support, anticheat, some licensed content, and features including league play, seasons, and voice chat.
