Big Walk Save Not Loading or Progress Missing
Confirm the original host is loading the world. Progress is stored with the host; another player starting a session creates or loads a different save.
The useful answer
Confirm the original host is loading the world. Progress is stored with the host; another player starting a session creates or loads a different save.
Step by step
- Identify who hosted the original run.
- Have that person choose Host Game and the correct save.
- Let everyone else join after the world loads.
Why players get stuck here
Personal achievement unlocks do not turn every client into a copy of the host’s world save.
Identify the correct world
Ask who originally chose Host Game, then have that person load their existing slot while everyone else waits at the menu. Once their character appears in the world, the group joins by friend list or the new code. Starting as host on another machine or account may show a different island state.
After loading, check one known tower and the Map Room before repeating puzzles; a carried loose object may reset even when banked progression is intact.
Verify it before moving on
Change one variable at a time, then retest from a fresh session. That makes it clear which fix worked and avoids turning a connection, audio or input problem into several overlapping problems.
