Back to the wilds.

Setup notes and practical fixes for the current Windows preview.

Play over the internet

  1. Use the same game version on both PCs and create or select a traveler.
  2. Choose Play over internet. The game signs in to EOS automatically; no Epic account or router setup is required for this route.
  3. Host a public world so others can find it, or choose Private and share its lobby code from Host controls.
  4. Friends select a listed world or paste the code and choose Join code.

The host PC runs the world. It closes when that host leaves; progress resumes with the same host and identity. The player cap is 24 including the host. Relay fallback is automatic when a direct EOS connection cannot be established.

If EOS is unavailable, close the online panel and use the independent local/LAN/direct-IP options below.

Local, LAN and direct-IP play

  1. Use matching 1.0.4 builds on a trusted local network.
  2. On one PC, select a traveler, choose Host and enter.
  3. On another PC, choose Join and enter the host's local IPv4 address.
  4. Allow the game through Windows firewall for your private network when prompted. Port: UDP 24772.

127.0.0.1 only reaches the same PC. Guest-Wi-Fi isolation, VPN routing or public-network firewall rules can prevent connections. For a public IPv4 connection the host must have reachable UDP 24772, which may require firewall/router forwarding and may be unavailable behind carrier-grade NAT. The online EOS route avoids that configuration.

Microphone

F8 enables setup. Choose your device and permit desktop microphone access in Windows. Hold C near a friend; check gain and voice volume. Distant speech fades. Voice is optional.

I cannot cast

Check active school, health, cooldown, standing still, target range and line of sight. Disrupt can lock a school. Red area markers show invalid ground. The host validates each action.

Where did my magic go?

Normal Clover powers expire after ten minutes or death; permanent bag items remain. Arena rerolls each respawn. Rejoin the same host/traveler to recover its saved state.

Performance

Try lower render scale, shadows and effect detail, then 1080p with a frame cap. 4K is not a performance guarantee. No RTX feature is implemented.

Chat and player mute

Press Enter to open chat, then Enter to send or Escape to cancel. Your messages use a different color. Hover to restore faded chat, scroll through up to 250 messages, and click Latest to return to the newest line. Nearby speakers also show short-lived speech bubbles. Select another player and click Mute below the target portrait to hide both their text and voice; Unmute restores new messages and audio. Mutes are saved locally for that host and character identity.

Report a problem

Include build, Windows version, GPU, host/join role and concise reproduction steps. Crop screenshots and remove IP addresses or names from log excerpts. Never send passwords or signing keys.
