pls the biathlon beta 6 and features all sportsmans in one carer and sprint and induvidual .2feature 60 sportsmans qualific mass start in pursuit 3.biggest penalti laps
Hello, in the beta5 update it always happens to me that after I leave an individual and a sprint, the sprint is repeated. You advise me so that this does not happen to me.
I like the game very much, but in the latest versions of Beta 3.1 and Beta 4, it often happens that when I try to turn on the career, I can't get further than the screen where you determine which league you want to start in and how many rounds the world cup will have, etc. And when if I succeed, for example, after the sixth race, then the race keeps repeating itself. Could someone advise me so that this does not happen to me again.
This game is actually such a great game. It is really worth playing with all the possibilities it proposes. I have so much fun playing it.
Suggestion:
- a system of shape in which athletes aren't in the same shape from one stage to another, or even from one course to another. This system could be random but also based on results: athletes making a good race could have a good shape on the next race, etc...
- On track, the feature that would be interested is a system in which you can use a bind to follow the athlete just before you, so that you can choose to try and stay with an athlete stronger than you to increase your chance to rivalize against him. What could be therefore intersting to add to this feature is the endurance bar that empties more or less depending on the difference of level between the two athletes following each other. I really think this feature would be very realistic and enjoyable to play.
- Penalty laps are a bit too short, I think making them longer should be interesting. The point is not necessarily to make twenty-second long penalty lap as in real life, but at least make them 15 seconds instead of 7.
Other than that, this game is the best biathlon game ever created and the amount of fun in it is just insane! I hope it is gonna be improved again and again to make it perfect! :)
Bonjour, je joue à NGL Biathlon depuis 1 mois, étant fan de biathlon il y a deux points de développements qui pourraient entrer dans le jeu en fonction de la difficulté de développement.
1er point, l'ajout d'une ou deux épreuves en relais.
- Le relais mixte; [avec 2 Femmes et 2 Hommes] les femmes passent en premières, les homme en seconds, ils ont 2 tires chacun [1 couché et 1 debout], ils ont chacun 3 balles de pioches et autant de tours de pénalité s'ils manques les 3 balles de pioches.
parcoure de 2 tours de 6 kms pour les 4 biathlètes
- Le relais mixte simple: avec 1 homme et 1 femme, les hommes commencent l`épreuve avec 1 tir couché et 1 tir debout, le relais ce fait à la sortie du pat de tir. ils font 2 tours de 6 kms.
Les femmes prennent le relais, elles font aussi 2 tours et 2 tirs, 1 couché et 1 debout, elles font le relais et les hommes refont 2 tirs et 2 tours, les femmes reprennent le relais pour refaire 2 tirs et 2 tours.
toujours avec les 3 balles de pioches pour chaque tir pour tous les participant.
2eme point: serait l`ajout de la météo pour le tir avec le vent pour ajouter de la difficulté au tir.
En tous cas tu fait du très bon et beau travail sur ce jeu, c'est très agréable à jouer, continue comme ça.
Greetings! First my respect for the work you all put in this game. This game is definitely better than the old Biathlon games of 2005-10. And they were made by Studios. I know it's for free but it was worth 30 bucks for me! I hope you don't loose the motivation for the product because i think the fanbase is growing.
The only things i hope for future updates are longer laps (5-7min.) to make it more tactical with the stamina and a little bit of tuning at the shooting, maybe simulating the breathing frequency, holding calmer with a button between the shots,....!
I have a very annoying bug on this game and I'va been having his bug for one year now...
When I have to skip a race (for instance after not qualifying for the pursuit), randomly I will have the yes button not advancing. So I will have to click No for the window to disappear and then again Yes to - perhaps - have something happens.
BUT the race is simulated and the points added to every racers each time I click on the YES button, so 21 qualified athletes will get a lot more points and the season standings is broken. (For correction of the Yes button freeze, I can add that the points are added but not the wins or podium in the medal sections)
I don't understand what you are calling a league... so difficult answer
Previously I had only one save. And one career in it.
To avoid th eproblem, I tried to duplicate my save to be able to overcome the problem and I now have 3 saves, with one career in each (at diffrent stages) but the problems still occurs very often and I had to stop playing for the moment.
a little new idea. When you are in career and racing for a country without enough athletes for the relay, it would be cool if you can race the relay in the world cup instead of your race in your league. That often happens in real too.
e.g Belgium what i race for. Zero relays un world cup bc not enough athletes.
or is there is limit of teams of 12?
so like i said in my other comment, Higher limit options everywhere
edit: i see in world cup. Too many racers from one country. Maybe a 6 men maximum bc germany and norway fills like everything XD
for the fact this is a free fun game, its very great and i see no other biathlon games on the market who can challenge this.
But for me as nordic ski fan 2 things are annoying me
1. The weird league system with 4 international leagues. In reality there are 2 leagues + 1 junior league for youth athletes.
1.1 Rivals and their carries option isnt avaiable??
2. 90 percent of the 2500 courses i know since little childhood. and its so sad, that there is nothing original.
WOuld be very nice to have a realistic mode with original racing courses and original times and obviously an original penatly course. i know, that many people want it faster, but for them the tracks which are here are very good.
Beside of this 2 points this is one of the 3 best games i ever played. ( the best sports game i ever played bc i just like ski sports and there is no good game besides of that)
edit: the problem with rival and their careers is a problem, bc when you start with 63 stats you will need 10 years to have the stats for the 1st league. And then they are all retiring
Started playing beta 3.1. Amazingly good. Few comments though:
Having close to 100 athletes (just like in real life) would be great
Skating
Penalty lap of around 20-22 seconds instead of 6-7 like currently. Missing a shot isn't very punishing for those top skaters.
Laps should be longer (setting ?). This will probably make it easier to have more athletes on the course.
The top skaters just fly by the worst skaters. It's a bit exaggerated I think (20% quicker).
Shooting
Range should have space for 30 athletes
It would be nice to specify which target we want to begin with so we avoid wasting time when the shooting screen shows up (setting)
Shooting time in real life is longer (19 standing - 23 prone for the top). They all shoot like Dorothea Wierer on her best day in this game ... even on "individual" where shooting times are usually longer because ... 1 minute penalty is heavy. If I check Elvira Oeberg's shooting at Kontiolahti this year, she took 33 prone and 37 standing (lost 30 seconds to the quickest shooter... and 80 additional seconds for 3 penalty laps).
Impossible to compete in shooting time on hard difficulty
somehow there is an auto targeting mechanism in place which messes how you can move to the next target correctly
after some time, the rifle starts moving like madness and after that good luck hitting the target (I guess the auto-targeting with me trying to compensate makes it bug somehow)
seems like everything was divided by 3-4 (lap length, penalty loop, shooting time variation between athletes) ... but still I can't divide myself by 3-4 that easily.
Having some whether forecast to better choose skis would be great. Currently you choose some skis and hope that the weather doesn't change to cancel the bonus.
Season:
It's very rare to not have a pursuit after a sprint. Yet in my current season it's so often.
Mass-start is always last, but I have multiple occurrences of "sprint, mass start, individual"
Rules for the mass start include the best "not qualified" for the week, not simply the 30 (21 in this game) first of the standings.
That's all I can think of now. The game mechanics are great and hope all the best for this game.
Agree with most of the above, although I have been able to win a season playing as Amanda Lightfoot on hard difficulty (created myself with fairly realisitic ratings based on the worst female athlete in the game) with the current shooting times, some of the athletes in game are terrible shots so there speed is academic if I'm accurate, however, agree shooting times should be slower in Individual and the shooting slightly improved because of this. I also agree the auto aiming and stickiness feels like a pain, if the rifle just moved naturally without any auto targeting my shooting would possibly be worse, but much quicker as it does seem to wobble like crazy at times. That said, I shoot 80% on hard, and I don't want it much easier than that...
I also don't mind the weather forecast thing... be a bit boring if there wasn't some jeopardy in choosing skis as it could become a bit of a cheat code or OP. However, AI on certain skis should suffer in some places as the guys on Fischer skis did earlier in the season (Cannot remember which meeting all the Fischer athletes struggled including JT Boe).
To add a few of my own suggestions:
A fatigue meter dependent on stamina on weekends where there are multiple relay races (so the bigger teams have more chance of being tired or using other athletes and smaller teams are more realistically penalized... look at the Norwegian relay team in Poljuka, or the fact Lapshin and Usov raced in everything).
A consistency rating that affects all skiing ratings say +/- 5% and shooting ratings +/- 10% . This could be higher for say inconsistent shooters like Vitozzi and Ponsilouma .
More athletes from minor nations like Mongolia, Greenland etc. so every team can at least field say a two person M & F relay (currently I make loads of new athletes for this purpose but it gets dull doing it with every new beta). And countries that have 3 athletes (Like Belgium and Japan) just add a fourth athlete and 1 like Moldova and Romania add 1 extra athlete. I have a formula using real biathlon. com but it's time consuming.
Still love this game, and have been playing for a while
I have hug problems downloading the game. I do unzip the downloaded file, however I can´t find the file that launches the game. Could you maybe make a clearer download guide or help me in some other way?
First of all, I want to say that this game, even with its current state is quite amazing, biathlon in general is an amazing sport!
I agree on some points with previous posts, so here are some suggestions.
-Penalty lap does need to be longer, between 15-20sec, its way too short and gives a good chance to win even if you miss a lot of shots. It would also be nice if the heart rate affects the shooting, because i can easily abuse the range area sprinting with max while others slow down to prepare for shooting, and i can still shoot accurately, which in reality would be extremely difficult. The events are a bit too short too, 5-8min races are simply too short, if i play a game of nba/fifa/football manager etc the duration of one match could go from anywhere between 20-40minutes, this would help to make the penalty lap more realistic and also would give room to add more athletes.
-42 athletes per division is way too low! It makes team races super boring and it takes out one of the best features of biathlon, which is that there are so many countries that can compete for top spots! There should be 2 divisions, around 100 athletes in each. I played the game for 10 seasons, I did not face any bugs which is nice, but after 10 seasons the variety of nations gets even less exciting. New athletes appeared only from handful of countries, almost all new youth athletes were from Norway/Sweden/France/Russia/Germany, i also had few athletes from Ukraine/Belarus/Finland/Switzerland and Italy BUT i think 0 from other countries :/
Team/Mixed relay competitions are extremely fun, but not when you have only 5-8 teams.. There should be a limit on athletes per country, racing against 16 norwegians is not that fun (no disrespect, i love Sturla and Tiril and Bö brothers too!)
-Make weather and ski choice matter more. Currently it doesnt really matter which skis i select, no matter the weather, they all behave and feel the same, but bad skis in reality can make an athlete lose a lot of time uphill/downhill situations. Same with the wind and snowfall - these should make the shooting trickier but they had 0 effect.
-Shooting speed also needs to be reviewed, it feels like most of them use automatic guns to shoot, they are so fast)
it would be absolutely nice if you create the game about Cross-country skiing, with sprints,distances and Two styles of skiing: classic and free ( which is here in biathlon)
Where can I find the file of my savegame on my PC in order to recover it, copy it and transfer it to another PC. Because when I copy/paste the NGL BIATHLON file where the game is located, the savegame does not transfer with it.
If someone could help me, it would change my way of playing and save me time!
Thank you very much.
PS: I love the game, it's great, I haven't had so much fun on a sports game for a long time!
Hi, my game crashed at the end of first season jsut before clicking on "Newt Season". Now when I come back to my career, I have the end of season rankings but only option is to quit.
Do you have a workaround to go to the next season ?
Nordic games lab, I'm Harsh Lakhan and here I'm representing my friend. He has a found a bug. He changed names and notes of certain athletes after that it was impossible for him to create a new athlete, he deleted save games, uninstalled and reinstalled game many times but still he has the problem, is there a solution available? Please help him.
Gros bug pour moi après avoir modifié les noms et notes de certains athlètes il m'est désormais impossible de créer un nouvel athlète et tout les autres ont disparu ( nouvelle sauvegarde, jeu désinstallé puis réinstallé) rien ne règle mon problème.
Hello Congratulations for this game, I search frequently player for online mode et sometimes I stream NGL on twitch. If players are interested you can find me easly :D
Agree with the guy below about extra venues, I'd also love to see the tournaments/career encompass a larger maximum of AI athletes say 60 or 80 (although I appreciate this may be difficult with CPU levels). This would be fun to have bigger national relay teams.
Is there a way to edit newly created athletes attributes? Am I missing something obvious? Thanks for the work on this game.
I really REALLY like the game, I have 2 suggestions for the next update:
1. Maybe add the IBU Cup places like Sjusjøen, Obertilliach, Arber and other places to the game too
2. I don't know if you will do it already, but I'll still suggest it: maybe add the new biathletes like Filip Fjeld Andersen, Lou Jeanmonnot, Sverre Dahlen Aspenes, Ragnhild Femsteinevik, Vanessa Voigt and others to the game too.
After all, it's still a great game and I play it almost every day!
I never tried NGL Biathlon natively because I have no Windows computer, but I get more than 60 FPS with Wine.
What I did was just run the Windows executable file with Wine, close the game since fonts were invisible, run winetricks mscorefonts in the same Wine wineprefix (check the internet if you are unfamiliar with wineprefix, basically it’s the folder of the Wine Windows folder I used to run the game), and then relaunch the game.
The game is very good but I hope that some details will be improved at the next updates. I don't know why, but I can't increase my shooting speed after a season (at all other skills it is possible to increase it with max. 4 points). It would be also helbful, that it would be possible, to switch on/off the names of the athlets during the race (you can't see the number on the back of the athlet). Maybe it would be also very nice that you can see the shooting-coaches with the binoculars at the shooting range ;-) and the force of the wind will influence the shooting and is shown in the display (maybe also graphically supported by some little flags at the shooting range) :-). These are some trivial things that would be nice, but the game is very great and you have done great work - Thank you very much!!! :-)
Hello and Congratulations to you for developing this game. It's feels really authentic and playing it is very funny and exciting! I'm looking forward to new results of the developement. Greets!
I am using Crossover and I am not able to see menu options. I suppose this is because of missing fonts. Could you please tell me what font are you using here so I can add them into crossover? Many thanks
I had the same issue and installed mscorefonts with winetricks, which solved the issue. I’m still missing the heart icon while in game, but that’s a minor issue in my opinion (even though I recently heard it can blink and show extra information that one cannot infer from just the beatrate value).
It’s wonderful that the game has all current players but also those from previous seasons, and legends! I just miss a way to select preset rosters by season/year, instead of manually picking each athlete individually. Would be great to add an extra button with past seasons and select athletes accordingly, while keeping the possibility to manually edit too of course.
I wanted to thank the developer(s) for chosing this business plan. I first downloaded the game for free just to try it, and after donated afterwards. Also quite happy that the game works with Wine, unfortunately it seems the mouse becomes buggy after you’ve alt-tabbed once, and I’m not good at shooting with just the keyboard.
This game is pretty good. The skiing felt awkward at first and there is no falls, but in the end NGL Biathlon greatly translates the stress that you feel on a tight race when you enter the shooting range. I just wish the AI would shoot slower though, this doesn’t look real there. The penalty loops are short, probably to compensate for tracks that are also faster than in real life.
The game works perfectly on Linux with Wine 64-bits.
I quite like that game and won my first mass start. I liked the game so much that I just binged four full world cups in a row.
This game is very good, but some things can be changed and added.Here are some of them:
- Wind would have made the game more fun and realistic.
- In the single mixed relay - one biathlete makes 4 shots and 4 laps, and the other makes 4 shots and 5 laps. Not so in the game.
- It will be more interesting if the tracks are longer and the penalty laps too.
- It will be more realistic to be able to make adjustments while shooting.
- It will be very interesting if we can see how biathletes are rewarded.
- It should have 30 corridors on the shooting range.
- It will be more interesting to have more biathletes for the World Cup
I agree with these. Although I think the laps don't have to be much longer, I rather do a couple of races than a really long one. A little longer laps would make it possible to have more athletes in pursuit events.
I have another suggestion:
- World cup should give points to top skiers. In real world cup there the top 40 gets points. And then possible to see World Cup standing in points instead of medals.
mon fils a modifié la rotation de l'écran en jouant (Alt Gr + flèche droite) que j'ai réussi à remettre. Par contre depuis cette manipulation, la résolution de l'écran est passé en 4:3 au lieu du 16:9 et seulement pour le jeu NGL ... cela n'a rien modifié sur Windows ou d'autres logiciels.
J'ai essayé des raccourcis de clavier Ctrl et + ou - mais rien n'y fait !
Quelqu'un a déjà eu ce problème ou serait comment faire ?
Bon même en désinstallant puis une nouvelle installation ... Rien n'y fait ! J'ai trouvé les raccourcis de la carte graphique et en appuyant un peu au hasard la configuration est revenue. Je ne saurais même pas refaire la manipulation.

Hello, I'd like updates:
- Penalty lap around 20 seconds instead of 6-7
- 100 athletes per league instead of 42
- pursuits reached by top 60. 1st ranking point given at place 40 in sprint
and pursuit
- mass start only possible for top 30 of ranking
- english commentary for the happiness of a race - - - update all new athletes
it would be absolutely nice if you create the game about Cross-country skiing, with sprints,distances and Two styles of skiing: classic and free ( which is here in biathlon)
Hi, I have a question.
Where can I find the file of my savegame on my PC in order to recover it, copy it and transfer it to another PC. Because when I copy/paste the NGL BIATHLON file where the game is located, the savegame does not transfer with it.
If someone could help me, it would change my way of playing and save me time!
Thank you very much.
PS: I love the game, it's great, I haven't had so much fun on a sports game for a long time!
salut
Est-ce que tu as essayé de mettre le dossier du jeu sur une clé USB ?
Hi, my game crashed at the end of first season jsut before clicking on "Newt Season". Now when I come back to my career, I have the end of season rankings but only option is to quit.
Do you have a workaround to go to the next season ?
Regards
Nordic games lab, I'm Harsh Lakhan and here I'm representing my friend. He has a found a bug. He changed names and notes of certain athletes after that it was impossible for him to create a new athlete, he deleted save games, uninstalled and reinstalled game many times but still he has the problem, is there a solution available? Please help him.
Gros bug pour moi après avoir modifié les noms et notes de certains athlètes il m'est désormais impossible de créer un nouvel athlète et tout les autres ont disparu ( nouvelle sauvegarde, jeu désinstallé puis réinstallé) rien ne règle mon problème.
Quelqu'un aurait une solution svp ?
Dude, Don't you think you should use English? Please.
Sorry my english is bad bro
I love this game! allthough i would recommend to improve the athlete models but tis game so funn
Hello
Congratulations for this game, I search frequently player for online mode et sometimes I stream NGL on twitch. If players are interested you can find me easly :D
i want to do it i never find people onlineeeee
I love this game as a British biathlon fan.
Agree with the guy below about extra venues, I'd also love to see the tournaments/career encompass a larger maximum of AI athletes say 60 or 80 (although I appreciate this may be difficult with CPU levels). This would be fun to have bigger national relay teams.
Is there a way to edit newly created athletes attributes? Am I missing something obvious? Thanks for the work on this game.
I really REALLY like the game, I have 2 suggestions for the next update:
1. Maybe add the IBU Cup places like Sjusjøen, Obertilliach, Arber and other places to the game too
2. I don't know if you will do it already, but I'll still suggest it: maybe add the new biathletes like Filip Fjeld Andersen, Lou Jeanmonnot, Sverre Dahlen Aspenes, Ragnhild Femsteinevik, Vanessa Voigt and others to the game too.
After all, it's still a great game and I play it almost every day!
Le jeu est de mieux en mieux, félicitations
Cependant, j'ai encore quelques problèmes au niveau de la carrière, j'en avais fait 2
avec une, j'ai réussi à passer à la saison suivante, mais l'autre carrière, impossible de changer de saison
Quelqu'un peut-il m'aider, merci d'avance
The game is amazing, can you in the future also make it for consoles if it´s possible
This game is absolutely awesome, release it on Steam please, I'm ready to pay to play this game !
I'm ready to help you to translate the game in French too.
Can you release à macOs version please ?
I can play it flawlessly on Linux using Wine, after installing
mscorefonts, so odds are good that it might work in MacOS with Wine or Crossover too.Thank
I just dont know how to do it
And using wine make ur computer going slowly ?
I never tried NGL Biathlon natively because I have no Windows computer, but I get more than 60 FPS with Wine.
What I did was just run the Windows executable file with Wine, close the game since fonts were invisible, run
winetricks mscorefontsin the same Wine wineprefix (check the internet if you are unfamiliar with wineprefix, basically it’s the folder of the Wine Windows folder I used to run the game), and then relaunch the game.Will it ever be a playable version on macOS?
I can play it flawlessly on Linux using Wine, after installing

I don't know why, but I can't increase my shooting speed after a season (at all other skills it is possible to increase it with max. 4 points). It would be also helbful, that it would be possible, to switch on/off the names of the athlets during the race (you can't see the number on the back of the athlet). Maybe it would be also very nice that you can see the shooting-coaches with the binoculars at the shooting range ;-) and the force of the wind will influence the shooting and is shown in the display (maybe also graphically supported by some little flags at the shooting range) :-). These are some trivial things that would be nice, but the game is very great and you have done great work - Thank you very much!!! :-)
Hello and Congratulations to you for developing this game. It's feels really authentic and playing it is very funny and exciting! I'm looking forward to new results of the developement. Greets!
I had the same issue and installed
mscorefontswith winetricks, which solved the issue. I’m still missing the heart icon while in game, but that’s a minor issue in my opinion (even though I recently heard it can blink and show extra information that one cannot infer from just the beatrate value).What is new? What is this update?
Bug report.
I added an extra athlete to my save file. Then all the tournaments in that savefile dissapeared.
How did you do this? How can I add my athlete? Thanks
It’s wonderful that the game has all current players but also those from previous seasons, and legends! I just miss a way to select preset rosters by season/year, instead of manually picking each athlete individually. Would be great to add an extra button with past seasons and select athletes accordingly, while keeping the possibility to manually edit too of course.
I wanted to thank the developer(s) for chosing this business plan. I first downloaded the game for free just to try it, and after donated afterwards. Also quite happy that the game works with Wine, unfortunately it seems the mouse becomes buggy after you’ve alt-tabbed once, and I’m not good at shooting with just the keyboard.
This game is pretty good. The skiing felt awkward at first and there is no falls, but in the end NGL Biathlon greatly translates the stress that you feel on a tight race when you enter the shooting range. I just wish the AI would shoot slower though, this doesn’t look real there. The penalty loops are short, probably to compensate for tracks that are also faster than in real life.
The game works perfectly on Linux with Wine 64-bits.
I quite like that game and won my first mass start. I liked the game so much that I just binged four full world cups in a row.
I created a multiplayer discord server (not official) but if some people are interested: https://discord.gg/e3gXv5kP.
I am French.
What is the best choice ?
Peux-tu renvoyer l'invitation please ?
I agree with these. Although I think the laps don't have to be much longer, I rather do a couple of races than a really long one. A little longer laps would make it possible to have more athletes in pursuit events.
I have another suggestion:
- World cup should give points to top skiers. In real world cup there the top 40 gets points. And then possible to see World Cup standing in points instead of medals.

Bonjour,
mon fils a modifié la rotation de l'écran en jouant (Alt Gr + flèche droite) que j'ai réussi à remettre. Par contre depuis cette manipulation, la résolution de l'écran est passé en 4:3 au lieu du 16:9 et seulement pour le jeu NGL ... cela n'a rien modifié sur Windows ou d'autres logiciels.
J'ai essayé des raccourcis de clavier Ctrl et + ou - mais rien n'y fait !
Quelqu'un a déjà eu ce problème ou serait comment faire ?
Merci d'avance pour votre aide
Il faudra surement réinstaller le jeu. Il a pas d'accès au paramétrage de la résolution d'écran dans le jeu donc je vois que ça.
Bon même en désinstallant puis une nouvelle installation ... Rien n'y fait ! J'ai trouvé les raccourcis de la carte graphique et en appuyant un peu au hasard la configuration est revenue. Je ne saurais même pas refaire la manipulation.
