Last checked Nov 10, 2026Do Not Stop guide team

Quick answer

When you're caught, the screen reads SIGNAL LOST with the mile you reached, then offers Restart, Change Map and Back to Lobby, plus a free retry button. The loading tip explains: caught after a mile sign? Retry from mile takes you back to the last sign you passed. Otherwise the game rewinds you to the start.

Retry from a mile sign

Roadside mile signs act as checkpoints. The loading tip says that if you are caught after a mile sign, Retry from Mile takes you back to the last sign you passed. The yellow button on the Signal Lost screen showed how many free retries were left and which mile it would use (2 free retries left, Mile 3).

We haven't seen what happens when the free retries run out, or whether they reset.

The car offer

Above the Signal Lost text there is a panel that says Need to go faster? It names the next car in your grade (Hartmann 220 Sport, Grade D to C, +7% power and +5% brakes) with a R$ 99 button. You don't have to buy it: the Hartmann also unlocks at level 4.

Tips

  • Look for the mile signs. They decide where a retry puts you.
  • Press Space to drift instead of braking; slowing down is what lets the Runner catch you.

FAQ

What does Signal Lost mean in Do Not Stop?

It is the caught screen. It shows the mile where you were caught and lets you restart, change map or go back to the lobby.

Do you restart from the beginning when you are caught?

Not always. If you passed a mile sign you can retry from the last one; otherwise the game rewinds you to the start.

How many free retries do you get?

We saw 2 free retries left on a run caught at mile 3. We haven't seen the starting number.
