TROUBLESHOOTING

Crossplay and party connection checks

The official Patch 1.0.1 crossplay fix and a practical checklist for party joining problems in Halloween: The Game.

THE SHORT ANSWER

Yes, crossplay is supported. IllFonic’s Patch 1.0.1 notes say cross-platform party members should follow their leader into matchmaking, addressing an Early Access issue that dropped members or returned them to the menu. A new failure still needs a platform and version check.

What the official fix addresses

The crossplay section of IllFonic — Launch and Patch 1.0.1 notes ↗ describes party members failing to follow their leader into a matchmade lobby. The stated fix covers being removed from the party or sent back to the menu. It does not establish that every connection error has the same cause or that servers are currently fault-free.

A low-risk connection checklist

The following steps are general diagnostics, not a guaranteed game-specific fix.

What to include in a support report

Include both platforms, who hosted, the invitation method, exact error and time with timezone. If the game never reaches the menu, start with Queued for Login instead. Store availability belongs in platform information, not the same diagnosis.
