Troubleshooting & Frequently Asked Questions - StarGate01/AmongUs-Mumble GitHub Wiki

Troubleshooting

The issues listed below fix the majority of user issues.

General Issues

  • Are you updated to the latest version of the game and mod? Check again (Top-left of the main menu).
  • Make sure you unzip/extract the download to get the winhttp.dll file.
  • Make sure you didn't rename winhttp.dll - It needs to be called EXACTLY that.
  • Did you put winhttp.dll in the same folder as Among Us.exe?'

Mumble-Related Issues

  • Did you enable Link to Game and Transmit Position under Configure > Settings > Plugins?
  • Did you enable Link v1.2 under Configure > Settings > Plugins?
  • Did you enable Positional Audio under Configure > Settings > Audio Output?
  • If using a Bluetooth headset, try using a different headset.
  • Do you have Mumble installed to: C:\Program Files\mumble\mumble.exe? If not, edit the proximityconfig.ini.
  • Are you in the same Mumble channel and same lobby/game?
  • Make sure your icon changes color in Mumble when you speak.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Who has to install this mod?

  • Every client in the lobby.

Q: How do I open/close the GUI?

  • Use the overlay button or press DEL.

Q: Does this work on mobile (Android / iOS)?

  • No. It might however be possible to implement a similar hooking mechanism on rooted/jailbroken devices. This would require a mobile Mumble client that is capable of the Mumble Link API. When all baseline features are implemented, I might look into this. When Among Us eventually becomes open source software, this change of course becomes trivial. Android progress is tracked here.

Q: Does this work on Linux / OSX?

  • Not yet. As there is no native build of the game (runs via Proton), the native OS IPC methods cant be used, which complicates the whole thing. But it is planned for the future. Linux progress is tracked here.
  • However, a small fake client is provided, which just sets your in-game position to (0, 0).

Q: Why are you releasing this codebase? Hackers will use it to ruin the game!

  • (1) They already do, I have not invented something totally new here. Maybe try playing only with people you know. (2) Trust in this kind of software can only be achieved by open-sourcing it. (3) It might lead to more cool mods from the community.

Q: Somebody could just turn up the sliders in Mumble and listen to the whole map!

  • Yes. This tool is intended to be used by a group of friends who all play fair. A fix for this is tracked here

Q: How do I make my own mumble server?
