Four steps to the grid

  1. Run the setup file

    Run Apex-Setup-0.2.1-beta.exe. It isn’t code-signed yet, so Windows may say “Windows protected your PC”: click More info, then Run anyway. It installs for you only, no admin prompt.

  2. Set up your radio

    Your name, what you race most, wheel or controller, then hold the button you’ll talk on. Pick clean or spicy talk, hear the voices, choose corners as plain words or turn numbers, and switch the mini-map on or off.

  3. Beta needs no licence key

    Claude answers your questions in your first 10 races. Practice and qualifying never count. Claude answers up to 10 questions for each hour of a race (an hour's unused ones carry over), and 10 a day across practice and qualifying; after that the backup engineer answers. A race longer than an hour counts once for each hour started. After your 10 races the radio keeps going: calls, spotter and strategy never stop.

  4. Start Le Mans Ultimate

    Apex connects by itself when you join a session. For the mini-map, set LMU to borderless or windowed.

SHA-256e76847fc7034303af7bfa0872fbf290a2fe7a7fedd4b8f99979ac467ab74992d

Check it in PowerShell: Get-FileHash Apex-Setup-0.2.1-beta.exe should print the same SHA-256.

Windows says it protected your PC

The beta installer is not code-signed yet. Click More info, then Run anyway. Compare the SHA-256 above if you want to be sure the file is ours.

Apex is silent

Check the Windows sound output and make sure the correct speakers or headset are selected.

Push-to-talk is not heard

Re-run setup, press your chosen button again and check that your microphone is not muted.

The mini-map is not visible

Set LMU to borderless or windowed display mode, and check the mini-map is switched on in setup.
