General Game FAQ
11 ANSWERSYou can share and download maps through the Community tab in-game.
Your created maps are saved
at:/Android/data/com.MA.LAC/files/editor
To manage files:
- Use ZArchiver to access the folder.
- On Android 11+, direct access is restricted. Open ZArchiver → Menu → Settings → ROOT → Set Root access type to Shizuku/SUI, then enable ADB wireless debugging.
To import quickly: Paste the map link in the Map Name field inside the LAC Editor tab and press Create — it auto-downloads and loads the map.

PIN:
0000.
This is a known Unity Engine bug affecting Bluetooth audio devices only. To fix it:
- Disconnect and reconnect your Bluetooth headset/headphones.
- Or simply restart the game.
These are generic disconnect messages that don't always reflect the real reason. Common causes:
- Unstable or laggy internet connection.
- The server crashed or restarted.
- High ping or packet loss.
Fixes: Restart the game and router, rejoin after a few minutes, or switch to a more stable connection. Avoid VPNs and mobile hotspots.
The game can't reach the server — it can't translate the server address into an IP. Possible causes:
- You're not connected to the internet.
- Your network or router is blocking the game.
- DNS issues preventing server address resolution.
How to fix:
- Verify your internet is active and restart your router.
- Switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data.
- Try a VPN if on a restricted network (school/work).
- Change DNS to
8.8.8.8/8.8.4.4(Google) or1.1.1.1(Cloudflare).
Same Wi-Fi (LAN):
- Host launches any map in LAC.
- Find the host's local IP via Wi-Fi Settings → Advanced → IP Address (e.g.
192.168.x.x). - Friends go to the LAN tab, enter the IP, and click Connect.
Different networks (Remote Play):
- Port forward your router: Port
7777, ProtocolUDP(UPNP must be enabled). - Find your public IP at whatismyipaddress.com and share it with friends.
- Or use Interaction Menu → Server Options → Share-Server and friends join from the Community Tab.
Download the Linux version from the official website's Download

Helicopters are restricted to Admin or Mechanic roles for performance optimization. Assign a role with:
/role [id] mechanic
Find the player ID in the Pause Menu. Example:
/role 3 mechanic
If you are experiencing lag or framerate drops, try these optimization steps:
- Adjust Settings: Go to settings and disable shadows and other high-cost visual effects.
- Turn off Reflections: Disable reflections entirely by typing
/reflections 0in the chat. - Manage Traffic: Reduce or disable city traffic under Settings > Game > Traffic.
- Minimize Physical Objects: Avoid spawning excessive dynamic physical objects like tires, cones, doors, and burgers.
- Spread Out Map Objects: Keep editor objects under 5,000 and distribute them across the map so that the chunk-loading system can cull distant objects effectively.
- Tune View Distance: Adjust the object rendering distance using
/chunkload <distance>(e.g./chunkload 500for 500m view distance).
