= GentRacing Requires Steam =

'''GentRacing requires the Steam client to be installed and running in order to function correctly.'''

Without Steam, important online and platform-related systems are not available. Because of that, GentRacing cannot provide its full functionality unless a valid Steam session is active.

== Why Steam is required ==

GentRacing uses Steam as an essential platform component for core game functionality.
This includes, depending on the current game mode and feature set:

* player authentication
* online services
* multiplayer access
* league-related features
* platform integration
* session and network validation

If Steam is not available, the game may still open its menu interface, but major parts of the game are intentionally restricted.

== What happens without Steam ==

If the Steam client is not installed, not running, or not available for the current user session, GentRacing detects this state automatically.

In that case, several main menu elements are disabled to make it clear that these features cannot be used without Steam.

Typical examples include:

* '''Multiplayer'''
* '''League'''
* other online-dependent menu sections

These elements are shown as inactive or unavailable until Steam is properly started and connected.

== Why menu items are disabled ==

The disabled buttons in the start menu are '''intentional behavior'''.

They are not a bug and do not indicate a broken installation.
They are there to clearly communicate that the corresponding features rely on Steam services and therefore cannot be launched in offline or non-Steam mode.

This prevents users from entering modes that would not work correctly without the required platform connection.

== How to fix the issue ==

To access all features of GentRacing:

# Install the official Steam client
# Log in to your Steam account
# Make sure Steam is running before starting GentRacing
# Launch the game again

Once Steam is active and detected correctly, the disabled start menu elements such as '''Multiplayer''' and '''League''' will become available again.

== Summary ==

'''If Steam is not running, GentRacing is not fully operational.'''
For that reason, online-related start menu entries such as '''Multiplayer''', '''League''', and similar features are disabled until Steam is available.
