Distance (v1.5)

Game Overview

A neon city turns every stretch of road into a lethal obstacle course, where speed matters but survival matters more. Distance blends futuristic arcade racing with platforming in a tense, atmospheric sprint through collapsing tunnels, spinning machinery, and abstract industrial spaces. Rather than circling conventional tracks, you race toward an end point while a cryptic threat looms in the background. The mood sits somewhere between a cyberpunk nightmare and a high-speed time-attack challenge, carried by pulsing electronic audio and stark, glowing visuals.

Your vehicle handles like a stunt machine built for impossible terrain: it jumps across gaps, rotates in midair, clings to walls and ceilings, and deploys wings for short flights. Runs demand quick reactions and route knowledge, since a missed landing or mistimed boost often sends you directly into a trap. Adventure mode provides a focused solo campaign, while Arcade challenges encourage repeated attempts for medals, faster times, and leaderboard positions against ghost recordings. Multiplayer lets players tackle races together, and the game’s mechanics remain approachable at first while becoming seriously demanding on advanced courses.

What makes Distance memorable is the way it treats a car as a full platforming character rather than simply a vehicle with a steering wheel. Every course asks you to read the environment, improvise through hazards, and decide whether a risky aerial shortcut is worth the potential crash. Trackmogrify adds randomized routes with adjustable generation rules, while the in-game editor and extensive community level library give skilled players an enormous amount to master. VR support further strengthens the sensation of hurtling through narrow passages at absurd speeds. Fans of Trackmania’s precision racing, the visual intensity of Wipeout, or the inventive driving of Nitronic Rush find plenty to enjoy, especially if they want a racer built around movement mastery instead of simulation realism.

Setup Guide & Troubleshooting

How do I fix missing DLL errors for Distance (v1.5)?

After extracting Distance (v1.5), navigate to the _Redist or _CommonRedist folder inside the game directory and install DirectX, Vcredist, and any other dependencies included.

What should I do if the downloaded file is corrupted?

The full archive is 0.94 GB — make sure your download completed fully before extracting. Use 7-Zip to extract the files. If you still see a "file corrupted" error, re-download and try again.

Do I need to run the game as administrator?

Usually, no. Start the game normally from the extracted folder. If you see a permissions or save error, check that the folder is writable and follow the game's documented fix. Only grant administrator access when a trusted game's specific setup requires it.

How do I update my GPU drivers for this game?

Distance (v1.5) requires a NVIDIA GeForce 8800GT or AMD Radeon HD 3830 or equivalent. Update your NVIDIA or AMD drivers to the latest version for the best performance.

The game won't launch — what should I try?

Check that extraction completed and your PC meets the system requirements, including Version 9.0c. Note any error message before choosing a fix. If it identifies a missing runtime, install the required DirectX components or Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable from Microsoft.

My antivirus is blocking the game — is it safe?

A warning needs to be investigated; the download source alone cannot confirm that a file is safe. Keep your security software enabled and review the detection details. Do not run or restore a flagged file unless you have verified that it is a false positive. If you are unsure, leave it quarantined.
