Side Events

Entry with any ticket

Bring Your Own PC Ticket

A Bring Your Own PC (BYO PC) ticket lets you access everything The Big LAN has to offer. Your ticket includes a seat at one of our rows of tables, an ethernet (network) cable that is already linked into our network (Wi-Fi is also available), two power points (one for your PC and one for your monitor), and a 3'x3' space to set up all your equipment in. You can connect any device you'd like including a laptop, desktop, Xbox, PlayStation, ROG Ally, Steam Deck, or Nintendo Switch, however a Windows based PC is recommended to get the most out of the day.

BYO PCs

A BYO PC 5+ group ticket is also available and is exactly the same as a BYO PC ticket but with a discount for bringing so many friends! Please note that this ticket type is not able to be combined with any AFK tickets or Rental PCs, but if you contact us via Messenger or Discord we can help customise you the best deal for your needs.

Away From Keyboard Ticket

An Away From Keyboard (AFK) ticket lets you access everything except for the major tournaments being run on our network, e.g. you'll be able to play split-screen games like Super Smash Bros and Mario Kart but not games that require access to the network like Rocket League (even though they may run on a portable device). An AFK ticket is best for players who want to play Nintendo tournaments, Chess, and VR games, and who don't want to bring their own PCs or devices.

AFK

Bring the most friends

Bring the most friends and win a fantastic prize! When you arrive at the venue and fill out our entry form you can tell us who invited you along. Whoever is mentioned the most times wins.

Prize

Impact Point

First we championed Altitude, the smash hit air combat game, then Ruthless Conquest, the mini RTS craze, but at The Big LAN XI get ready for a new tactical favourite in Impact Point! An ultra satisfying, fast paced, 2-4 player, arena based, multiplayer, top down 2D shooter. Grab what you can and battle it out with 2-4 players to be the last man standing in a game heavily inspired by retro and vaporwave shooters.

The game is completely free on Steam, under 100MB, and super easy to join. Download here!

Tips & Help

Joining Arms Race

CS2 does not support Arms Race at release, so you'll need to temporarily revert to CSGO to play.
1. Right click CS2 in your steam library and select properties.
2. On the left menu select 'Betas'
3. In the 'beta participation' dropdown select 'csgo_legacy - Legacy Version of CS:GO'.
4. Close the properties window, CS2 should start updating.
5. Once updated the game will now ask you if you want to launch CS2 or CSGO Demo Viewer at launch. To play Arms Race you want to select Demo Viewer.

Joining a CS2 LAN game

1. On the top menu select 'Play'
2. Select the image of a globe with a mouse pointer (next to 'Practice').
3. A new window will open. Select 'Counter Strike 2' in the top right dropdown.
4. Select the LAN tab and then select the game you'd like to join.

No games in the LAN lobby

2. Try switching TheBigLAN network to "Private" rather than "Public" by selecting "Network & Internet Settings" under the network option from the task bar, selecting TheBigLAN, and choosing "Private".
3. Try disabling all network interfaces besides the one you are trying to use. For example, CSGO will default to your first ethernet port for server advertisements regardless of if you are on Wi-Fi or a secondary interface.
4. Try connecting directly to the server via IP. The tech desk will be able to help you do this.

Tips & Help

FoV Modifier

When installing the game a mod is offered to give a Field of View (FoV) controller. Installing this file as per the instructions below may cause errors with certain graphics card drivers. If a “HAC error” occurs when booting the game delete the additional dll added to the controls folder.

Joining a LAN server

If you are running the game but can’t see the servers, ensure the game is allowed through your local firewall. If that doesn’t work, ensure all Network Interfaces are disabled except the one you are using. Failing that select the “Join via IP” option and ask The Big LAN staff for the address.
