Connection, Voice Chat and Controls Help

Which problems have official patches addressed?

Several October demo updates explicitly fixed connection, input and movement problems. They are useful when identifying an old report, but they do not establish that every issue still affects the current build. Start by updating through Steam, then compare the exact symptom with the dated history below before following an old workaround.

Symptom in the notes	Official fix history
Room loading bar stalls	October 14 update, then further fixes in 0.1.7 and 0.1.9
Cannot hear others after joining	Demo 0.1.6, October 16
Custom keybinds reset or do not apply	October 14 update
Volume slider changes do not apply	October 14 update
ESC cannot close the lobby	Demo 0.1.9, October 19
Empty 0/6 rooms appear in the list	Demo 0.1.9, October 19

See the October 14 notes, 0.1.6 and 0.1.9 for the original reports.

What should you try when a room will not load?

Confirm that Steam has completed the update, restart the demo, and try a fresh room before treating an old loading report as a current server outage. These are general isolation steps, not a developer-guaranteed repair. The official notes mention repeated loading fixes, but publish no universal port-forwarding rule or single error-code solution.

Record whether you joined a public room or an invitation, whether another room works, and the exact message or progress-bar behavior. Demo 0.1.6 added invitations through the in-game phone and corrected misleading room-join error codes; 0.1.7 also says new players can join after a round ends. That is not a promise of joining at every moment during an active round. Use the demo guide to confirm everyone has the correct app.

How should you handle voice, input or movement faults?

For missing voice, check your selected microphone, playback device and their operating-system permissions, then retest after updating. For controls, inspect and reapply your current bindings rather than trusting an old shortcut list. These checks help narrow the cause; they do not prove the game, your device or a server is responsible.

Later notes also address getting stuck, falling through floors, and role-assignment or teleportation anomalies: 0.1.7, October 21 and October 23. Do not use those fixes as instructions for reproducing an exploit. If a fault recurs, report the current build, classroom, role, steps and whether it happens again in a fresh session.

Compare your setup with the PC requirements. Keep demo reports separate from the forthcoming full game, and avoid unverified executables, registry changes or disabling security software as a supposed universal solution.
