Big Walk Patch Notes: Latest Update 1.4.10

Big Walk 1.4.10 patch notes

Version 1.4.10 focuses on getting groups into a session and keeping their voices working once they are there. House House describes improvements to network connection and server stability, including a fix for a server that could stop after a player disconnected.

Network failures now use more specific errors. The game can also warn the host or joining player when it detects something that may block a connection, making the next troubleshooting step less of a guess.

• Improved network connection and server stability
• Fixed a server stopping after a player disconnects
• Added more specific network failure messages
• Added host and join warnings for detected connection blockers
• Improved voice stability so voices are less likely to cut out or stop
• Adjusted one finder-item sound and fixed a flare start sound cutting off

What to do after installing 1.4.10

Check the version on the main menu, restart the game and create a fresh session before judging the result. The official FAQ says the first two components of every player’s version number must match; the third component can differ between platforms.

If joining still fails, read the new warning, wait until the host is fully loaded, verify the Join Code and password, and synchronise the system clock. If voices still cut out, check the host connection and framerate before changing microphones.

What changed in version 1.4.9

Version 1.4.9 made Session Passwords mandatory for hosts and lets the host change the password under Session Details. The Join Code still identifies the session; the password is the additional gate.

It also added Invert Look X, a frame-rate limit, VSync by default and a half-VSync option. Save-data protection was improved, alongside fixes for wall clipping, repeated challenges, missing collision, turnstiles and disconnecting while carrying another player.

Earlier fixes in 1.4.8 and 1.4.7

Version 1.4.8 addressed teammates whose microphones sounded much quieter than intended. Its per-player correction takes a few seconds of speech to calibrate, so a newly joined player may still sound faint for a moment.

Version 1.4.7 was the earlier launch update. For the exact wording and complete low-level list, use the official version history linked in the sources rather than an undated repost.

Which version numbers must match?

Players sometimes assume every digit must be identical and diagnose a harmless platform suffix as the connection problem. House House says only the first two version components need to match for multiplayer.

For example, two builds with the same first two components can still connect even if the final component differs by platform. If either of the first two components differs, update before doing deeper network troubleshooting.

Is update 1.4.10 new content or DLC?

No. The official notes describe stability, connection, voice and sound changes. They do not announce a new island, puzzles, story content or paid expansion.

House House has separately said there are no post-launch content plans. Maintenance can continue without becoming a content roadmap; the DLC and sequel status page tracks that separate question.
