Fix Big Walk: Troubleshooting Wizard

Work through source-backed checks, one symptom at a time.

Big Walk: Cannot join a friend

Confirm the host is already in the world. Read any connection warning before retrying.

Big Walk: Cannot host a session

If both hosting and joining fail, check the shared connectivity path, not just your invitation.

Big Walk: Epic Online Services connection

An online device can still have trouble reaching EOS.

Big Walk: Voices are too quiet

Check microphone input levels and distance first.

Big Walk: Voice chat cuts out

Check whether movement is also lagging. Audio loss can share a network cause.

Big Walk: Slow or unstable network

Record the exact warning rather than treating every disconnect as the same fault.

Big Walk: Version compatibility

Compare the first two version numbers across the group.

Big Walk: Session password rejected

Ask the host privately for the current password.

Big Walk: Black screen while loading

Update graphics drivers, then check Microsoft Visual C++ components.

Big Walk: Crashes, freezing or stuttering

Check requirements, game files, Windows and graphics updates before changing drivers.

Big Walk: Windows 11 inpoutx64 issue

House House documents a Windows 11 driver-related crash and stutter issue.

Big Walk: Save or challenge progress reset

Preserve the host’s save before troubleshooting. A patch fix is not a promise to restore lost progress.

Big Walk: Missing Chinese, Japanese or Korean text

Check the installed version when new characters stop appearing.

Big Walk: Persistent unusual lighting

Distinguish a persistent lighting fault from intentional changes during the adventure.
