The Game Won't Run!

Walls Closing In is built with higher end PC's in mind. Although we've included quality settings (both within Unity's Launcher and In-Game), the core framework is meant to run high fidelity graphics and lighting in real-time.

If you're encountering frame rate issues, please try:

  • Upgrading your DirectX runtime
  • Upgrading to the latest visual C++ Redistributable
  • Upgrading your Graphics Drivers to the latest versions
  • Turning off any GPU or CPU intensive background software
  • Playing the game at a lower resolution + quality setting

If you meet minimum software specifications and still encounter issues, it may be unrelated to the game, as we've ensured the game runs at 60 FPS at minimum specs & above.

Additional Note: Walls Closing In uses heavy GPU Instancing, this is to render thousands of foliage objects at one time. GPU Instancing requires a pretty beefy GPU, and often doesn't work (as well) for laptops. Please keep this in mind.

The Game is Unresponsive During Level Loading!

This is perfectly normal. Our levels have tons & tons of objects, sfx, music, scripts and other things loading up in the background, due to some existing framework within the unity engine, windows can perceive this as your PC "Unresponsive" and prompt you to close the game.

DO NOT PANIC!

Usually this happens if you click/press buttons during a loading screen. If windows prompts this, simply opt for "wait until program responds", level load should take as long as 30 seconds, but no more than 1 minute. We can only fix this if Unity decides to update their approach to asynchronous loading.

I'm Having Weird Resolution Issues!

Walls Closing In can should be able to be played at up to 4K resolutions with no issue. Our friend Henry says it can get a little weird at 1440p resolution, but we think he's delusional and everything is just fine. If everything is not fine, look below, we consider this a bug!

The Game Won't Unzip/Unrar!

This is often caused by having an absolutely ancient version of Winrar or 7Zip, try upgrading your preferred unzipping program and try again! If all else fails, look below.

I'm Having An Issue Not Listed Here!

Really? sigh... Just kidding, you've got our attention! Reach out to us on Twitter, on our Discord (fastest), or even by email! We use to accept Carrying Pigeons, but our sound guy kept teaching them to play guitar.
