House House has deployed an update for Big Walk on PC designed to improve the game's proximity chat system. The fix specifically targets players who use quieter microphone setups, which previously struggled to transmit audio clearly even when other players were nearby.
Confirmed Changes to Voice Chat
The developers noted that previous systems failed to adequately boost input for quieter mics. This update adjusts the audio processing to ensure voices are louder at both close and medium ranges. It is important to note that this is not a rework of the game's communication mechanics:
- Distance remains unchanged: The game's specific distance drop-off has not been altered, as the studio views this limit as a core design element.
- No new settings: There are currently no new volume sliders or individual toggles added in this patch.
House House stated that they are taking a measured approach to further changes for the voice system, as they want to ensure any additional features are implemented correctly. For now, players should find their existing microphone setups perform more reliably without needing to manually adjust any game or system settings.
