Multiplayer Troubleshooting

Let Workshop Mods install through the room flow, use Public Lobby or private room codes, keep the page open during recovery, and save Recent Dubs or Recovery ZIPs before leaving.

Reviewed for v1.5.0Verified 2026-08-30Co-op: up to 12PVP: up to 8

Choose the room mode

Co-op

Up to 12 players create one shared dub. Claim Mode lets players choose open lines; Round Robin rotates lines through the roster. In v1.5.0, Co-op Claim Mode hosts can export a Recovery ZIP and import it later to continue completed recordings in a new room.

PVP

Up to 8 players compete. Turn Battle records players in sequence. Parallel Race gives every player the full clip list and ranks both accuracy and completion time. v1.5.0 also adds a Public Multiplayer Lobby with language and waiting-room filters, while private rooms still use room codes.

Use Public Lobby or a private room

Use Public Lobby when you want discoverable rooms and filters for language or waiting rooms. Use a private room code when you already have a group and do not want strangers joining. v1.5.0 rooms also include text chat, player avatars, profile links, and automatic host transfer when everyone is ready but the host does not start the game.

Fix Installing room mod

  1. Identify the Mod source. Workshop Mods can install automatically through the room. Every player must import the same local Mod separately.
  2. Wait for the progress indicator. Do not press Ready Up until installation finishes.
  3. Refresh the browser library. If progress remains stuck, open Mods, press Refresh Mods in the upper-left corner, then return to the room.
  4. Return and Ready Up. Rejoin the same room if the interface asks, then let the installation check finish.
  5. Report persistent failures. Include the room code privately, Mod name, source, browser, and visible diagnostic text.

Recover a disconnect or room update

  1. Keep the page open. A normal interruption appears as Connection interrupted; a deployment appears as Game server updated.
  2. Wait for automatic recovery. Voxalike restores the room and locally saved takes when possible. Do not deliberately leave or close the room while it is recovering.
  3. Confirm the roster and Mod. Continue only after players and room content return to the expected state.
  4. Use Recovery ZIP for Claim Mode. If you are the Co-op Claim Mode host, export a Recovery ZIP before abandoning a broken room and import it later to continue in a new room.
  5. Use Recent Dubs for completed results. Open it from the Create or Join Room screen in the same browser.

Historical note: Older reports may describe forced room recreation or repeated downloads that current builds fixed. Treat them as current only if they reproduce on v1.5.0.

Use host and turn controls

In Co-op, choose Claim Mode or Round Robin before play starts. If a line was continued accidentally, open Host Tools and use Redo last line. Host Tools also exposes recovery actions when a line is stuck or claimed and the current room state permits them.

Save results before closing

Ask every player to finish previewing and downloading before the host abandons the room. If someone misses the result screen, open Recent Dubs from Create or Join Room in the same browser. Room data can expire, so Recent Dubs is a recovery path rather than permanent storage. Mobile players must keep the tab active and tap the final save control.

Prepare a useful bug report

  • Host or joining player
  • Co-op or PVP
  • Browser and operating system
  • Workshop or local Mod
  • Stage where the room stopped
  • Diagnostic text shown by the game

Send the room code only through a private support channel if requested. Never publish it with account details.
