The secondary button is not required, and by default, is not selected for most of the controls.

Does EV3 Support Wheels, Controllers, and Joysticks?

Yes! EV3 supports most wheels, controllers, and joysticks as long as drivers are available for your system. Some of the more popular ones we have tested are Logitech G25/G27 and Xbox and Playstation controllers. Many are fairly simple to install and come with instructions to download the drivers and calibrate the device for your system. EV3 includes in-game options to enable or disable your device as well as inverting an axis to help support a wide range of devices that may be designed differntly.

It is worth mentioning that we can only support devices with official drivers from the device manufacturer. Many companies do not make Mac drivers so EV3 can not officially support them for Mac players. If you find 3rd party drivers that claim to work, we HIGHLY recommend not downloading them as they are often times full of virus's and malware, and we DO NOT support those drivers. Please do not download your drivers from anywhere but the manufacturer's official website.

If you need more assistance with setting up one of these devices with EV3, feel free to email us the make and model of your device to support@playev3.com.

Can I Use My Account on Other Devices?

Yes! You can use the same username and password on every device you have and your account information will stay with you. The only thing that won't be saved are default quality, resolution, and control settings. Those settings are specific to each device you use.

I Got A New Computer, Phone, or Tablet, do I Have to Start Over?

No, all you need to do is download the game on your new computer, phone, or tablet and login with your existing username and password. Your account information will be the same as you left it, but you will need to set your controls, resolution, and quality settings if you changed them on your old device.

I want to start my account over from scratch, is there a reset button?

Unfortunately a reset option is not available for EV3. If you would like to start over you can create a new account with a different email and username. Other games may ban you for having multiple accounts, but we do not, so you don't need to notify us before you create your new account.

Can I share an account with my friends, siblings, or family members?

While we do not encourage this, it is ok to do. Please be aware that when sharing an account the account owner is responsible for anything that happens. If you lend your account to a friend who spends all your points and coins and breaks all of your cars, we will be unable to recover those funds or fix your car. EV3 also only allows an account to be logged in from one location at a time, so if you share an account with someone and you both try to log on at the same time, the game will log one device out so only one of you will be able to play at a time.
Since creating an account is free, we encourage everyone to have their own account that isn't shared, so that there are no issues.

Yes, we have an official Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Youtube account. We encourage everyone to follow and like us as we will post answers to common questions, tips and tricks, contests, sneak peaks, and updates from the developers. Our social media accounts are very active so don't miss out!
