We are looking for users to help test the next Foxhole build before it goes live. This will just be a quick test tomorrow from 11:00AM - 12:00PM EST. If you are able to participate, you will need to be available on discord at the time to communicate and provide feedback. If you are interested, please PM myself or one of the mods. Thank you for taking part in our first Foxhole community test.

It has been brought to my attention that people are using the @everyone feature too frequently, and some people have begun turning off their notifications because of it. This obviously is not something we want because we'd like for that feature to be used for important updates regarding the game. However, the decision has been made that, for now, everyone will still have access to the feature, if it is ever actually needed. If this feature is continually used innapropriately it will be taken away; let's hope it does not come to that. Thanks everyone for being SO awesome!

@everyone We are launching the combat demo on Steam! You can download it for FREE, at http://store.steampowered.com/app/505460

Any future updates will be through Steam, making it much easier for everybody. And if you have the old version, you should get the new Steam demo, since the greenlight stand-alone version will be deactivated soon.

The discord server is currently in need of mods.

If anyone is interested in joining the mod team, please PM me. If you could, please give a little information about yourself in the PM; I will most likely follow with a few questions, and then decide on who I'd like to join the mod team.

Also, for anyone wondering, @timber gull has taken a voluntary leave of absence from the mod team, and will most likely return in 1-2 months.

I'd like everyone to give a warm welcome to the server's newest mods, @swift solstice and @wooden tundra - Thanks aswell to all the applicants. If we find ourselves in need of more mods in the future, you will be on the shortlist. Have a good day everyone!

New text channel! #foxhole-creative will be a channel for creative works such as photoshops, artwork, and screenshots. Please refrain from having conversations about anything not related to the content (especially the warden vs colonial chat).

hardy tapir
#

Another new channel has been made. #bug-reports - This channel's purpose should be fairly clear by its title; however, it's been requested by the devs that this channel remain as clean as possible. Please keep ALL idle chatter OUT of this channel. This includes any conversing about the bug itself. Once it has been reported, there needs to be no further discussion. This will help the devs actually fix things, instead of sifting through hundreds of unimportant messages.

hardy tapir
#

The decision has been made to dissolve the 'testers' role.

The role (along with the private text channel) was created before Foxhole was on Steam, because it was an easy way for the devs to stay in contact with the testers, and explain how to download the new branch of the game. Now that Folehole Prototype is on Steam, getting to the new branch of the game is much simpler, and does not need to be discussed in private.

The 'testers' role and text channel will be dissolved, and we will be adding #devbranch-bugs - This channel will be used for discussion related to the (you guessed it) experimental branch of the game. It is not to be used for idle chatter, and will only really be used when the devs decide they want to run a playtest on the new build. When a test is in progress any people in the test, please use this new channel for bugs related to the new build. #bug-reports is for bugs regarding the live build, not experimental.

@everyone We will be showing Foxhole at PAX West next weekend and we are planning on dedicating part of our booth to showing off community made videos. If you have a video that you would like us to show, please PM me (@vast eagle) with the link to it. We will display your name (your Youtube/Steam/etc name) over the video while it is playing. While we will try to include as many videos as we can, we will be selective in the content. By submitting a video, you are giving us permission to display it to the public at PAX West.

The deadline for video submission is Sunday (august 28) at 11:59PM EST.
We wanna show the cool things you guys find interesting, so let me know! Thank you!

#

(please do not PM the other DEVs with this. Only me, since I'm the one organizing it)

#

๐Ÿ˜™

#

Also: we will try not to change the videos, but by submitting them, you are giving us permission to eddit them to a more suitable one to be shown at PAX

#

@everyone Remember: PAX is an event that has fans of ALL ages. So avoid any content that might not be suitable. Even if we don't care for things like that in the game, we will be cutting those down for the sake of a clean PAX showing. That includes trying to avoid profanity, sexual content and copyrighted material

@everyone For the community event tomorrow morning, the world will be reset at 10AM CET / 5AM EST so that the war can start from a clean slate. While this isn't a rule, we encourage players to not rush to a quick victory so that the event can last long enough for other time zones to participate. Good luck everyone!

sonic cape
#

@everyone Thanks everyone for participating in the community event yesterday. While we had some technical difficulties, the event was also a success in many ways and there are more players playing Foxhole today and yesterday than there has been in weeks. Due to a server crash that occurred, the event was inconclusive, but we were still able to salvage a lot of data from the war.

A full report of the community war (including some fun statistics) is now available here:
http://www.foxholegame.com/single-post/2016/09/08/Community-Planned-War

We are planning on adding a world backup and restore system so that wars can persist through server crashes in the future. Stay tuned.

Hello - Quick announcement, please give a warm welcome to the newest member of the mod team @uncut gull!

@everyone There was a slight error in the War Report posted earlier today. The casualty count was reversed.

The correct casualty count is: Wardens - 965 vs Colonials - 1074.

The original post has been updated to reflect this.

sonic cape
#

@everyone Just wanted to say that we are aware of the issues that some players have been having with weekly wars. We came up with the system to help us achieve a high concurrent player count, which we need in order to test and improve our networking technology and to validate certain game design decisions. Without this testing, it will be difficult for us to develop the core features of Foxhole.

We currently hold the weekly wars at a time that we feel yields the highest player count. We realize this doesn't work for everyone so we're working on ways to improve the game so that more players can participate. Ideally, we would like wars to last a lot longer so that the starting time of the war becomes inconsequential. We thank you for your patience as we work towards this goal.

We are going to be tracking bugs from now on using Trello. Anyone can vote and comment on bugs to help us surface and reproduce issues, though a Trello account is required. If you have been with the Foxhole community for some time and want to be able to create new bug reports, please PM @sonic cape or @dark pebble and we will grant you permission.

We hope this will help us surface the most critical bugs during the pre-alpha phase of Foxhole. Feel free to continue using #bug-reports to report and discuss bugs, but know that Trello is where we will be tracking bugs long term. To avoid further redundancy, we will be closing #227094127374761987.

Hey guys. Unfortunately, the 0.0.15 update has caused several server instabilities. Earlier today the server a crash shortly after the weekly war started. We were able to eventually fix the issue and restore the state of the war. Things were running well for about 9 hours, but a new issue has just shown up where the server would disconnect all players intermittently. In short, the day has been full of problems and they don't seem to be ending!

We're going to let the weekly war continue throughout the night (Eastern Time), but I would completely expect that more issues may arise. We will continue investigating the issue in the meantime. Thank you for your continued patience.

    There will be a special feature enabled on Christmas day that should provide some extra fun for anyone dropping in.

  3. Holiday War - Dec 28th @ 4:00 PM ET

IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING 0.0.21 AND THE WEEKLY WAR

If things go as planned in the next 24 hours, we will be releasing 0.0.21 and going forward with a special plan for this weekend's war. As always, if there are any last minute show stopping issues, we will abort. There will be a lot of new things happening behind scenes with our servers, so the chance of something going wrong will be higher than usual this weekend. We wanted to communicate this ahead of time, so hopefully we can have your patience in the event of technical problems.

Two important things to know:

  1. We will be running two overlapping wars, each taking place on a different front (and server instance). We understand that this may result in less players per server instance or possibly even a "dead" second war, but we need to test out this process now to prepare us for handling a higher player population in the future. Also note that is less of a new format for the game and more of an experiment to help us scale up in the future.

Foxhole-One: Upper Heartlands (Starts at 11:00AM ET)
Foxhole-Two: Callahan's Passage (Starts at 1:00PM ET)

  1. With 0.0.21, player profiles will finally be synchronized between server instances. While this may not seem like a big feature right now, this is a necessary step towards building out War Mode in the future. Due to the complexity of the synchronization system, technical issues may arise. We've done our best to test things internally, but there are just some issues that we won't know about until a hundred players are playing and jumping between server instances. Rest assured that we have backed up all player profiles, so there will be no permanent loss of player data if something goes wrong.

This is just a heads up. I will be making another announcement tomorrow when the update goes out.

If you are experiencing severe framerate drops sometimes when running Foxhole (but not at other times), you can resolve the issue by restarting the Steam client. There is no timeline on when a proper fix will be available since the issue seems to be rooted in some unexpected behavior from Steam.

sonic cape
#

Update 0.0.23 will not be released until next week. In addition, we've made the decision to change our regular game update schedule from weekly to bi-weekly. We may still occasionally update on consecutive weeks, but we are finding that it's more optimal for us to develop in two week cycles at this point in the project. This allows us to work on larger features and gives us time to work on chronic issues that typically get swept under the rug due to the weekly update schedule. As the complexity of the game grows, it also inherently takes longer to test and integrate changes into the game. Please let me know if you have any questions about this. Thank you.

At the moment, profiles will only be syncing between Upper Heartlands and Endless Shore servers. Any profile progress made on the Callahan's Passage server will not be saved. A reboot of this server will be required to fix profile syncing. Given the high volume of players on this server at the moment, we're going to hold off from rebooting it until the player popluation dies down. Thanks for the patience guys.

In light of the recent increase in players, Weekly War #22 will take place on all active server instances to allow everyone to participate. However, we will only track statistics and post war reports for 4 servers (Foxhole - Endless Shore, Foxhole - Upper Heartlands, etc), so these can be considered as the "official" fronts for the war with respect to the war archive.

Foxhole 0.0.23 Update will be rolling out at some point within the next 24 hours barring any last minute issues. Due to the high volume of users, we will be updating servers in stages. Any server with a reasonably high player population will not be updated immediately. We will update all servers before the weekly war begins on Saturday at 11AM ET.

Due to the high player population and the number of servers we are currently running, the chance of technical issues arising during the update process is high. We ask for your patience as we adopt our process to the large player base. We will let everyone know when the update rollout begins. Thank you.

We will be rolling out the update to servers in stages. Servers that have not been updated yet will appear greyed out in the server browser. Please refer to my post above for additional details. During the rollout period, you can still access the 0.0.22 client by switching to the "0.0.22" branch on Steam via the "Betas" properties tab.

Weekly War #23 will begin on Saturday at 11AM ET. Only servers Fox1, Fox2, Fox3, Fox4 will be running the event. All additional servers will not have a world reset at the time of the Weekly War.

This is our largest update rollout yet, so we ask for your patience in the case of technical issues. Thank you!

There was a server crash on Fox 3. The server has been rebooted and we've restored the world state. All structures and vehicles have been restored to their former state and the war can continue. Town Halls have been properly restored as well.

There were some side effects from the restoration:

  • Locks aren't accessible by their previous owners
  • Player inventory and offline characters have been reset
  • Server will no longer be labelled as weekly war on the server browser or in-game map
  • War Correspondent has stopped reporting on the war

We are investigating the crash and looking into improved restoration procedures for the future. Thanks for the patience.

Information regarding Weekly War #24 and a server hotfix

The Weekly War will take place at 11:00 AM ET on Saturday on the following servers:

All other servers will NOT have their world's reset when the Weekly War event begins. If you are unable to join a Weekly War server, please join an ongoing war on one of the other servers. There are currently no gameplay differences between Weekly Wars and regular wars.

In addition, we have a hotfix currently rolling out to servers that fixes two crashes that occur in extremely rare cases. It may take awhile before we can patch every server since we don't want to disrupt ongoing wars. We ask for your patience in the event of a crash. Thank you.

Hey @everyone,

We are going to try something new to help streamline the process of getting your fantastic suggestions, bug reports, and creative content into the hands of the developers. The recent surge of player activity has caused a lot of noise in our #foxhole-creative , #game-feedback-archive , and #bug-reports channels that, frankly, has been an impossible task to try and moderate.

So rather than stifle the conversation around your creations, when you want the developers to see your work--whatever it might be--please post it into the relevant channel and mention <@&282920218462912512> .

These awesome volunteers will take your work and get it into a central place for the developers to find.

Any questions at all, feel free to DM @verbal marsh.

In the not too distant future, we will be removing or drastically changing the format of Weekly Wars. We are happy to keep it around in the meantime so that long time players can continue to have this fun event to rally around on Saturdays.

Weekly War #32 - Clan Registration

READ CAREFULLY BEFORE REGISTERING:

Registering here will allow you and your clan members to have prioritized access to one clan. This means that the server will be password protected for a duration of time before the war starts and all registrants will receive the password before the server goes live. Registering DOES NOT GUARANTEE you or your clan members access to the server, it only guarantees that all registrants will receive the password at roughly the same time before the server goes live.

DETAILS & RULES:

  1. Only the first representative that registers for each clan will be considered
  2. Passwords will be distributed to each representative at approximately 10AM EDT on the day of the Weekly War through Discord via PM from Markfoot.
  3. Representatives are responsible for distributing the password to their clan members
  4. Representatives are forbidden to distribute the password to more players than they've specified in this form.
  5. Please keep passwords private!
  6. Please only register if you intend to show up. Fake registrations or absences will be recorded and taken into consideration when planning future events. In the event of a change in plans, please PM Markfoot as soon as possible
  7. Clans are allowed to invite up to 5 friends, but representatives are responsible for their conduct

The Last Weekly War

Today the clan community held a special festival event in the Upper Heartlands as a send off for Weekly Wars. We were totally caught off guard by this and our minds were completely blown! On behalf of the dev team, I would like to sincerely thank you guys for pulling off such an awesome event and for reminding us once again how lucky we are to such an amazing community supporting Foxhole.

I also wanted to thank everyone in the community that has been involved with Weekly Wars since it was launched last September. Your participation has truly helped the game flourish and grow to what it is today.

Now that the last Weekly War is over, it's time to look to the future of Foxhole as the best is yet to come! It won't be long before we have some new things to get excited about. Stay tuned for announcements in the coming days.

Path to World Conquest

If everything goes as planned, we intend to launch the first ever World Conquest War next week. There will be a couple of events happening before the launch, including a Prelude War on Saturday that will be used to stress test our new server infrastructure.

There is a lot of complexity to launching World Conquest and the risk for things going wrong will be higher than ever. We ask for your patience and understanding in the event of delays or technical issues. If there are any changes to the plan below, we will let you guys know as soon as possible

1) 0.0.28 Update (Thu Apr 27 - Fri Apr 28)
This update will contain many under the hood changes required for World Conquest to function. We are rolling this out ahead of the full World Conquest update so that these changes can be stress tested during the Prelude War on Saturday.

2) Prelude War (Saturday @ 11:00AM EDT)
This will be a one time unique war with a special win condition. This war will take place on the Deadlands and Upper Heartlands. The war will be won when the enemy overruns both regions simultaneously. A region is overrun by claiming a certain number of towns (6 for Upper Heartlands / 8 for Deadlands). Other than the Win Condition, this war will be played like any normal war and will not be related to World Conquest otherwise.

3) 0.0.28.x World Conquest Update (Wed May 3 - Thu May 4)
This update will contain the final logic required for World Conquest to fully function.

4) World Conquest Trial War #1 (TBD)
This will be the first of several experimental releases for World Conquest mode. More features and improvements will be added in subsequent trial wars.

Update: This plan has been revised. The original plan was to launch World Conquest mode sometime Thursday. Due to the increasing number of gameplay corner cases we've been encountering, we are going to be taking a different approach with the rollout. See 4) above for details.

sonic cape
#

The win condition for the Prelude War this Saturday has changed (see previous post for details). Our main goal for this event is to test the back end logic for the upcoming World Conquest mode in a live environment. To that end, the win condition has been changed to better support this goal while hopefully still providing a good experience for players participating in the event. Apologies for the late change in plans.

Prelude War Results
Big thanks to everyone who participated in the Prelude War this weekend. The goal for this event was to both test the back end for World Conquest mode and provide a special event for players this weekend.

From the technical side, the event was a success for the most part as both servers we ran (Deadlands and Upper Heartlands) maintained communications with our master World Conquest server throughout the weekend in a live environment.

On the gameplay side of things, things went reasonably well but there were obvious holes in the design of the event. The scenario where one side owns all the Town Halls of a region wasn't handled in a complete manner (something we were aware of going into the event). There were also several issues raised with regards to how hard it is to hold towns and regions after taking them. We definitely see this as a problem in the long run and we look forward to addressing it in the future.

The Prelude War was just the first basic test for the concept of fighting a war over multiple regions. I want to stress that there are a lot more technical and gameplay problems to solve before such wars will run smoothly.

How the Wardens retook the Upper Heartlands
After the Upper Heartlands was dominated by the Colonials, a lot of defences were built to ensure that the Wardens couldn't retake the region. Over the next 11 hours, a small dedicated group of Warden players were able to slowly retake the East side of the map, leading to the eventual Warden victory.

The group was comprised of at least 7 core players and a few others that helped along the way. They found materials left behind by Colonials in Greenfield Orchard and used them to build walls and create a safe path to the Manufacturing Plant. Once they reached the M. Plant, they were able to slowly build additional weapons, Outposts, and fortifications. They specifically did not retake any Town Hall to avoid alerting the Colonials on Discord of their activity.

Revised World Conquest launch plans

The original plan was to launch World Conquest mode sometime this Thursday. Due to the increasing number of gameplay corner cases we've been encountering, we are going to be taking a different approach with the rollout.

Over the next few weeks we will be running a series of trial World Conquest wars. These trials can be seen as an extension of the Prelude War we had this past weekend. We plan to iteratively introduce and test World Conquest features in the coming weeks. Time and time again, we've proven that nothing beats real world testing and community feedback when it comes to tackling hard design problems for Foxhole (e.g. going from Combat Prototype to open world, Factory system, Win Conditions).

I won't be setting any hard release dates again, but our current goal is to run the first trial this weekend. I will update you guys on our status throughout the week. Thanks again for your patience.

If you have any questions, please feel free to PM me.

Full release notes and details on the event can be found in the link below. If you don't want to bother reading the post, please keep in mind the following important points:

*- World Conquest mode is in highly experimental form a the moment and unexpected bugs or gameplay issues may occur

  • We will shut down the event in the case that a major unresolvable problem occurs during the event

Important Known Bugs with World Conquest
There are several serious bugs with World Conquest mode and region travel that players should be known of before playing

  • If you travel to a neighboring region and your faction is full, you will be put back to your previous region but at a random travel point.
  • If you travel to a neighboring region that is completely claimed by the enemy and die, you will spawn at a random travel point
  • There are two region travel points in the Upper Heartlands that lead to slightly offset destination points in neighboring regions
    • Travel point on the road East of Oleander Homestead goes to one road north of the intended one in Umbral Wildwood
    • Travel point that is North East Upper Heartlands travelling to Deadlands brings you to one road West of intended one in Deadlands
  • Player counts for each faction are not being reported on the World Conquest screen

I will update this list as more issues are discovered. Thanks again for the patience with this release. We are aware of it's current rough state and will be working on rapidly improving things in the coming weeks.

Thanks everyone for participating in World Conquest Trial #2 today. As some of you know, the war started 15 minutes before 11:00AM EDT today. We did this intentionally to give ourselves some time to reboot the server or address any critical issues with the World Conquest bootup before dozens of players joined in. We thought this would be ok since we started the war last week in the exact same manner. Unfortunately this was a very bad approach and it caused some players to get a head start over others in an unfair manner. We will be correcting our bootup procedure in future wars so that everyone has a chance to access the server at the exact same time. This was a clear mistake on our end and we sincerely apologize for it.

After reading through some of the discussion on Discord today and there are a few things I wanted to make clear:

  1. At the present, we allow players to switch factions for each war if they please. If you don't like this system, feel free to leave feedback or criticize the game, but please be respectful to other players and do not blame or harass anyone for playing within the established rules of the game.

  2. We don't consider the experience of playing Foxhole to be a zero sum game of winning and losing. While game balance is very important to us, it's not the highest priority. From our perspective, the unique narratives of each war, like the intense battles, unique strategies, back and forths, and unexpectedly cool little events are the core of the game, not a string of text at the end of each war that says "Victory" or "Defeat". If you are looking for a completely symmetrically balanced experience, you're probably playing the wrong game. Foxhole will never be that.

Devstream and Trial War #3

A reminder that our bi-weekly developer stream is happening tomorrow at 2PM EDT. We look forward to seeing you all there!

Shortly after the Devstream ends, we will be running World Conquest Trial War #3. The war will start at 3:30PM EDT. We understand this is short notice, but the plan going forward is to run World Conquest wars as frequently as possible so that we can gather as many data points as we can. We will still strive to always leave at least 2-3 days between wars to ensure that the experience and significance of ending a war is not diluted or diminished. We will also interrupt wars that intersect with update releases. Such wars will be declared a draw.

Special Note: There will be a small, but special reward granted to the winning faction of this war. We will be revealing what this reward is on the Devstream tomorrow. This reward will only be granted if the war runs to completion without any significant technical or gameplay issues. The reward will not affect the in-game experience in any way.

IMPORTANT!!

  • Please keep all post war discussions productive and remember the welcome-rules
  • Remember that the game is still in pre-alpha and unexpected problems may occur

We understand that there are some concerns over the current state of this game mode. World Conquest is still in it's infancy and there are many underlying issues with game balance that we have identified and are working on, particularly with the early game. Despite these issues, we feel that there is still tremendous value in running multiple trials per update iteration. Each data point will help us make the mode even better in the future, even if the results may be frustrating in the short term (e.g. unbalance or short wars). It will take a lot of testing, feedback, and careful problem solving to resolve these issues. It took over half a year to get regional wars (non conquest) into a reasonably good state and it got better because of continuous playtesting and constructive feedback from you guys. We hope that World Conquest can go through a similar process of improvement. Thanks again for helping to make Foxhole a better game.

World Conquest Trial #5

Saturday, May 27th at 11AM EDT

DETAILS

  1. The war will take place over the top 4 regions of the world: Callahan's Passage (Warden Home), Deadlands (Contested), Weathered Expanse (Contested), and Endless Shore (Colonial Home).

  2. Win condition: Claim all towns in all 4 regions.

  3. We will be enforcing some gameplay restrictions during the first 2 hours of the war as a temporary workaround to certain pacing and team balance issues with the game. These workarounds will be replaced with proper solutions in future updates. See section below for details.

EARLY WAR RESTRICTIONS (2 HOURS)

  1. No traveling between regions.

  2. Joining a faction that has more than 15 players than the other in the region will not be allowed. This only applies to contested regions.

  3. No building structures at far distances from friendly Town Halls (this includes rebuilding world structures like Town Halls and Weapon Factories). The initial allowed build distance is roughly half the length between Sun's Hollow and Liberation Point. This distance increases over the span of 2 hours, until it encompasses the entire map.

I will be updating this post with additional information over the next few days. Please check in for possible changes. This plan is contingent on the successful release of the upcoming 0.0.30 update.

IMPORTANT KNOWN BUG

If drive from one region to another in a vehicle that has been coalition claimed AND locked by another coalition member, the vehicle will end up in a bad state when it reached the other region (i.e. you will lose both the Truck and any items inside). To work around the issue, just unlock your vehicle before travelling between regions.

The tentative plan will be to have the server go live at 11:30AM EDT in countdown mode and have the war start at 12PM EDT.

This will require a small client patch to be downloaded before joining the war. If you do not apply the patch, you will be unable to aim your weapons properly in the water crossing around Kelpie's Mane. Use the "Verify Integrity of Demo Files" option in Steam to ensure you have the latest update. I will inform everyone in #foxhole-discussion once the patch is live.

Update on server issues mentioned above

It looks like there is a bug that is affecting all of our servers that causes them to misreport information in the server browser and on the campaign screen. This means that the day # reported on the server browser screen may be incorrect at times and it also means that the E/C symbol usually used to indicate Event/Campaign mode may appear incorrectly. Servers may also not be joinable from the Campaign screen (but are still joinable from the server browser). Campaign progress (region status) should be displaying correctly though.

Gameplay itself is not impacted by these bugs and servers should continue to operate normally otherwise. We hope to resolve these issues over the next few days. Thanks for the continued patience.

Update: Client patch released that addresses some, but not all of the issues mentioned above.

There will be no scheduled war this weekend as the focus will be on the completion of the current Campaign. We will be opening up additional servers on demand if necessary. If you are the representative of a large group or clan and anticipate a large influx of players at a certain time OR if you wish to organize a skirmish or training session, please PM me and we can try to accomodate you. Thanks!

0.0.33 Client Hotfix Released
A client update has just been released that fixes the FPS drops and disconnects that some of you with AMD based PCs have been experiencing. Steam should automatically update your client, but if you don't get it you can force the update by:

  • Right click Foxhole in Steam and click Properties
  • Click on LOCAL FILES tab
  • Click on VERIFY INTEGRITY OF DEMO FILES

If a couple of you who had previously experienced this bug can verify that it's now fixed (PM me), that would be great. We know this affected a lot of you guys out there so thanks for the patience!

0.0.33 Server Hotfix Released (Fox 4)

A server hotfix has been released that rebalances the Shotgun (Range reduced to 0.0.32 value, and Damage increased from 0.0.32 value by 20%). A new campaign front has opened on Fox4, which has this hotfix applied. All servers started up from this point forward will contain the hotfix.

We have released a client update that potentially fixes the client crash ("Corrupt data found" "Fatal Error") that was introduced in 0.0.34. Since the bug is difficult to reproduce, we can't confirm 100% that it is fixed. If you have experienced this crash, please grab the update by verifying integrity of demo files from properties. If you still experience the bug after updating, please PM me right away. Thank you!

Post Launch Status

I just wanted to update you guys on how things are going on our end. We've had one hell of a launch week and we spent most of the week supporting users through forums/reddit/discord and also fixing bugs and other critical issues that are impacting the most players. Due to the launch, we've gone off course from our regular schedule of devblogs, community highlights, and content updates, but we hope to get back to it as soon as possible. We'll keep you guys updated! We are still on track for having a devstream on Tuesday (https://www.twitch.tv/foxholegame) and there will be a couple of neat announcements so look forward to that!

Thanks once again for helping us pull off such a phenomenal launch!! The future of Foxhole is brighter than ever ๐Ÿ™‚

Client Updates
We've released 6 small client updates throughout the week as a result, with the most recent one just released moments ago (see patch notes here http://steamcommunity.com/app/505460/discussions/0/1470840994972779346/).

Server Update
We also internally have a new server build (that is backwards compatible with all existing clients) that fixes several stability issues that occur after a server restarts and restores the world. We will be rolling out this new server build on any newly started or rebooted servers.

Community Servers

It was initially not a priority for us to support community servers for Foxhole. However, due to the size of the player base, the diversity of communities that exist, and the demand that we've heard for for it, were going to be taking some steps towards supporting this.

To start, there will be a testing phase for community servers where the Foxhole team will be provisioning servers (i.e. providing hardware, installing and running the server) and users will be given access to operate the server (i.e. change maps, set certain parameters, etc). Eventually, we'll consider releasing the server as a public application so that users can provide their own hardware and have complete control. We are taking this approach to ensure that server performance is guaranteed initially and for security reasons.

For the initial testing phase, we will be offering servers rentals for free to a select group of communities. If you are part of an existing community, please submit the application below. We will be selecting communities based on their size and involvement/standing with the Foxhole community in the past. Availability will be extremely limited at first, so don't be discouraged if you do not receive a response.

Application: https://goo.gl/forms/OuKZ1E7FgRBwUiCm1

Server Renaming

Over the next few weeks we will be gradually renaming our servers in an effort to make them unique. Instead of Fox1, Fox2, etc, we want to name servers Carbine, Devitt, HalfTrack, etc.

We will make an effort not to rename servers while a war is in progress to avoid any unnecessary disruption. If you enter the game and your previously played server no longer exists, it likely means that the war finished and the server name was retired. Just join another server.

We never anticipated having to run this many servers when we launched so we didn't have a great gameplan for naming servers. This is something we're fixing now. Thanks for the patience!

UPDATE 0.2 RELEASED!!! Bayonets, 140 Player Servers, and More! Read the release notes here: http://www.foxholegame.com/single-post/2017/08/17/Foxhole-02-Release-Notes

**0.2 Update Rollout **
More details at http://steamcommunity.com/app/505460/discussions/0/1470841715969189999/

Update 0.2 will be rolling out between 3PM - 6PM EDT today (Aug 17). During this time, we will be updating servers one by one. When a server is updated, it will be brought down for several minutes. Once the update is complete, players will be able to rejoin. The progress of wars (towns, structures, vehicles, etc) will be restored in most cases, but for a small subset of servers things like squad claims and item orders will be reset. In the future we hope to improve the process for updating servers to minimize the amount of disruption that occurs. Thanks for the patience.

Servers with low population may be retired or have their wars reset.
Servers that have not been updated yet will appear greyed out in the server browser. During the rollout period, you can still access the "Update-0.1" client by switching to the "Update-0.1" branch on Steam via the "Betas" properties tab

0.2 Update Rollout Report

We've completed our 0.2 update rollout to all servers. While all servers were eventually updated successfully, there were a couple of hiccups along the way.

We were able to restore the state of wars on most servers, but due to a bug we had to do a reset on servers running Upper Heartlands and Endless Shore. The process of updating the servers also took much longer than anticipated, causing some confusion since some of you were only able to join certain servers and not others for a couple of hours. We also took the opportunity to reorganize our servers during this rollout. This also may have caused some strain for some of you since your previously played server may have been renamed or retired. Please refer to this thread for details on which servers have changed during this rollout: http://steamcommunity.com/app/505460/discussions/0/1470841715969189999/

We hope to improve our update rollout process in the future to make future updates as least disruptive as possible. Thanks for your continued patience.

Amphibious Warfare Feedback, Bugs, and Balance

Hey guys! We have been monitoring your feedback on Amphibious Warfare and are aware of the balance, bugs, and issues reported. This was a very large feature that has introduced a lot of next complexity on both the gameplay and technical side of things. We will be working hard to issue a hotfix update next week to address some of these problems.

We think it's important to give the update at least a few days of shakedown before we can get a good perspective on balance issues. Please leave us your feedback in this thread (thanks I Saw A Bear!): https://www.reddit.com/r/foxholegame/comments/70jcbv/current_issues_with_amphibious_warfare/

Community Manager

I'm excited to announce that @verbal marsh has joined the dev team as a community manager. For those of you that have been around for long enough, you'll know that he has been a solid community leader for over a year now and fortunately enough he also lives Canada (our home base) so it all worked out!

One of our main goals with the CM position is to respond to the increasing demands of the community so that the rest of the dev team can better focus on developing the game. We also hope to improve the community by supporting more events, getting better at collecting feedback, and responding more promptly to issues when they arise.

The admin, mod, and community helper teams will be unchanged and myself, HB, and other devs will also contine to be active on Discord, reddit, etc. The community manager will be there to support these teams and help them do their jobs more effectively in time.

0.6.14.1 Hotfix Updateย was released on 11/3/2017 that fixes an issue that causes player characters to move erratically after being hit by vehicles under poor network conditions. Some minor UI changes were also made on the server browser and login screen. Verify your game files on Steam to force the update to be applied.

Server Queue Bug & Workaround

We are getting some reports of players getting disconnected from servers while waiting in the join queue. We are investigating the issue. In the meantime, the work around is to rejoin the server immediately if you get disconnected. Your position in the queue will be held in most cases so you don't need to wait again.

Europe and Russian Server Status

All European and Russian servers went down about 6 hours ago. We are investigating the cause and will provide an update as soon as possible. For now, the Global servers are still available to play on. Thanks for the patience.

SERVER UPDATES

Frag - Russia is live and the war has been restored
Halftrack - Russia is live and the war has been restored
Baker - Europe is live and the war has been restored
Sledge - Germany is live and the war has been restored
Dog - Europe is live, but the war has been reset

UPDATE: All servers have been restored. We were able to restore war progress in all cases except for Dog Europe (a skirmish server). The server outage was caused by technical difficulties from our server host. We don't anticipate any further problems today.

Note that this will be far more informal than our usual devstreams since the studio is closed over the holidays and most of the team is taking some well earned time off. Expect even lower than usual production values :)

And The Winner of Indie Of The Year 2017 Goes To..........

FOXHOLE. We did it! You guys don't know how thrilled we are to get this award... and it's all thanks to you guys. We could not have hoped for a more vibrant, dedicated, simply awesome community. If there was space to go down a list and thank every one of you who took the time to vote, meme, or otherwise encourage your peers to support us--we would. Awards like these speak volumes about our playerbase, and really sends us a powerful message that we're on the right track. I'm sure once the rest of the team is in the office you'll be hearing their personal thanks... but I wanted to be the first. Thank you for being you.

In order to best serve the community, we will be recreating the Community Helper system to better align with our vision for the role.

The role of the community helpers is to act as a tool for those interested in helping the community to allow them to better achieve those goals. It is not meant to be a badge for veterans. Anyone can help without a special role, and that will be reflected in the guidelines. You, as a new Community helper, will be granted more tools to help, but you will be expected to use them and be a positive representation of the community. With great power comes great responsibility. This is the entry level staff position, as such you represent the Staff to the community just as you represent the community to the outside world.```

For this reason, we will be releasing all current Community Helpers on `January 23rd at 2300 EST`, and offering a new application for Community Helper going forward.
We welcome all of you to submit an application. When doing so, we urge you to fully read and answer the questions within the application to the
best of your ability.

We want to thank each and every one of you for your efforts in helping this community grow into what it is today.

Status of 0.9 Release & World Conquest Test Event

We are nearing the release of update 0.9, which will include an experimental version of World Conquest. World Conquest will not be widely available in 0.9, but will be playable during a test event that will begin shortly after release. Capacity will be limited and players will be granted access on a first come first serve basis.

Remember that World Conquest is still highly work in progress and has missing features, balance issues, and potential bugs. The goal of the test will be to gather data that will be used to improve World Conquest in future iterations.

This is by far the biggest update in the history of Foxhole. We are currently aiming to release on Thursday, Friday, or Monday but there is a very good chance that things could be delayed further if additional last minute issues are discovered. We will keep everyone updated on our progress.

Update on 0.9 Release The World Conquest Test Event will not be happening today. We'll keep you guys updated on our progress.

#

0.9 Release Pending

All systems are good to go for a release of 0.9 this afternoon. We will be deploying the update shortly and then later this afternoon we will begin the World Conquest Test Event (we will give you a more exact time soon). Due to the complexity of this rollout and the experimental nature of World Conquest, there is a high probability that a show stopping technical issue may show up at the last moment and prevent the Test Event from happening today. We will keep you guys update on our status. Thanks.

sonic cape
#

World Conquest Test Event Pending

The current target start time to the World Conquest test event is 3:30pm EST (1 hour from now). We will let everyone know if there are any delays. For now, please read the following details carefully (will be reposted later on).

The World Conquest shard will have a limited capacity and players will be allowed to join on a first come first serve basis. We will be monitoring the event closely but please be aware that it may end at anytime if any unexpected issues occur. If the event continues to run until Monday without hiccups, we will evaluate whether or not to continue further. Please join the Foxhole Discord for additional details and updates on this event. We will be iterating rapidly on World Conquest in the coming weeks so expect more Test Events in the near future. This test is just the first step of many in our ongoing One World revamp.

For an overview of World Conquest gameplay, please see this post carefully: http://www.foxholegame.com/single-post/2018/02/01/Overview-of-World-Conquest-Gameplay

Be aware that this is a highly experimental version of World Conquest so expect missing features, game balance issues, and potential bugs. If you want a smooth experience, we recommend that you wait for a couple of iterations before trying World Conquest.

Update 0.9 & World Conquest Test Event is Live!

@everyone Update 0.9 is live! Join the Conquest-Test shard to be part of the first ever World Conquest Test Event. Please read below for details on this event!

This update contains an experimental version of World Conquest (a new way to play Foxhole!) which is available to play in a limited Test Event that is currently live. The goal of the test will be to gather data that will be used to improve World Conquest in future iterations.

The World Conquest shard will have a limited capacity and players will be allowed to join on a first come first serve basis.

IMPORTANT KNOWN ISSUE: Some players are spawning into World Conquest as the wrong faction after joining the war. If this happens, immediately log out and log back in otherwise you will be faction locked.

World Conquest Test Event Results

First off, we want to thank everyone for participating in the first of many World Conquest test events. The event is currently winding down and if it does not conclude on it's own, then we will be suspending it by the end of the day (as part of our originally planned Monday re-evaluation). Remember that since this is was a test, the results should not be based on who won or lost the war, but on what we learned about what works and what doesn't in World Conquest.

We had roughly 2000 players participate and we we're able to gather invaluable data that will help us build World Conquest and One World. While there were several technical issues, the 2-3 day long test validated much of our back end server architecture and has given us the foundation to push forward with more World Conquest features in the coming weeks and months. Remember that the reason why we run these tests in such a raw state is to accelerate the development of World Conquest and to gather data to make better design decisions.

For additional details on the event and what's next, please read this post: http://www.foxholegame.com/single-post/2018/02/11/World-Conquest-Test-Event-Results

World Conquest Test Event #2 Status

We are currently in the process of rolling out the 0.9.26.1 hotfix, which will contain bug fixes and game balance changes for the next World Conquest Test Event which will start shortly. We released the update later in the day than we anticipated and want to give the update a bit of shakedown time before starting the World Conquest Event, so the current target start time has been pushed back to 3PM ET. Stay tuned.

World Conquest Test Event #2 is LIVE!

@everyone The next World Conquest event has begun! We also just released an update that addresses many bugs and game balance issues from the first event. Due to your helpful feedback last week, we've been able to improve conquest quickly with this new iteration.

A few devs will be participating in the early part of the war.. so see you guys out there!

Join the server Conquest-Test to participate in this event. A reminder that the goal of the test is to gather data that will be used to improve World Conquest in future iterations.

The point of these World Conquest tests is to gather feedback so we can improve future versions. If you participate in the event, please leave your feedback on #380221415380484106. Thank you.

Be aware that this is still an experimental version of World Conquest so expect missing features, game balance issues, and potential bugs. The event may end early if technical difficulties arise. If you want a smooth experience, we recommend that you wait for a couple of iterations before trying World Conquest.

Information on vehicle desync bug

If anyone has any information on the bug that causes Trucks (or any vehicle) to "float" after exiting, please email foxhole@clapfootgames.com.

This is the issue where the vehicle "desyncs" from the player and appears to be in a different location than what the player client sees. This is NOT the issue of vehicles being stuck in a diagonal position. We are specifically looking for details on how to reproduce the issue, including specifics on the circumstances under which it happens.

Foxhole is On Sale now!

This is the big promotion we talked about in the dev stream. We're thrilled to see so many people actively engaged in the World Conquest mode right now, but holy crow the queues! We're going to add a very very slight level requirement to enter the World Conquest mode as a temporary measure to help regulate the flow of players incoming to the game from the promotion. Do not worry. If you were playing the WC before now, and are suddenly unable to access it due to level, please send me a message and we'll get you sorted out.

In addition, if anyone is looking to run a recruitment event, or any event that is friendly to newcomers, please let a mod or discord mod know and we can organize a way to get you some voice channels on this discord to make it easier to reach people.

War #2 has Begun!

Skirmish
Skirmishes for the next war have already begun. Remember that Skirmish victories count towards the overall win condition of the war (which Monument is earned) and commends earned during Skirmish also count towards standings. We will continue to improve skirmish mode in near future updates. Stay tuned!

Conquest
The next conquest begins on Friday at 1PM ET. We are currently working on an incremental update that will help alleviate some of the pain points around queues. This won't be an overnight fix to queue issues, but it will hopefully be an improvement. Thanks again for the patience. The level requirement for accessing Conquest may be increased up to a maximum of 8 (this is the highest it will be set to for this conquest).

Hotfix Patch Notes and World Conquest #2

This is a reminder that the World Conquest that begins tomorrow will have a minimum level 8 requirement. We're doing this as an experiment to tackle the problem with the queues getting unreasonably long. If things are going smooth, it will be easy for us to reduce this requirement later.

Okay so on to the patch notes:

  • Fixed some minor crash occurrences in the Home Region.
  • An issue with Blueprints not properly stockpiling has been fixed.
  • Players should no longer be dropped from queue when the home region restarts.
  • The queue should now show up regardless of whether or not the queue status has changed.
  • The Sandbox is no longer under attack (Skirmish attack notification fixed).
  • Various travel screen changes.

The war will begin at 1PM EDT on Friday. Good luck.

Transitioning to the next War

The Aftermath
After 10 days of Skirmishes and Conquest, the second One World War is finally over!

The Colonials have taken over the Conquest mainland, but the Wardens were victorious in the Skirmishes that took place on the outskirts of the conflict. Neither side has yet to achieve the highest honor of a Platinum level Monument (earned by winning both the Skirmishes and Conquest).

Colonial Casualties in Conquest: 97024
Warden Casulaties in Conquest: 97656

We hope to provide more interesting statistics on wars in the future. Stay tuned!

A New War Has Begun
Skirmishes for the next war have already begun. Remember that Skirmish victories count towards the overall win condition of the war (which Monument is earned) and commends earned during Skirmish also count towards standings. Some big changes are coming to Skirmish in the 0.11 update next week. Stay tuned!

Note: The next Conquest will not begin for another week for two reasons. Firstly, we want to at least have several days between each Conquest to ensure that they remain signficant. Our ultimate goal with Foxhole is for players to have memorable experiences and be able to look back after a war interesting stories to tell. That can't happen if Conquests just run repeatedly. Secondly, we don't want to start the next Conquest until the 0.11 update is out so that we don't have to interrupt it part way in.

War #5 Begins Sunday at 10:00AM ET

Remember that Skirmishes have already begun for the next war so get in there and start winning those Supply Drops for the next Conquest!

War #4
Thanks for everyone who participated in the last war. Congrats to the Wardens who were able to keep the Colonials at bay during the last 24 hours despite some very hard resistance. Well done!

We understand that there were some pacing and balance issues with the last Conquest, especially in the early game. Despite these issues, the devs would like to give recognition to all the Colonial clans and players that didn't give up and litereally fought until the very last minute. Thank you for contributing to the ongoing health of the game as it continues to evolve.

We have the same goal as you guys: Long and balanced wars filled with great war stories.

Addressing Pacing/Balance

We will be implementing solutions to help with pacing and balance in the upcoming 0.12 update, but that won't be released until the end of the month. However, we don't want to wait that long to see changes so we're going to be making some adjustments WITHOUT rolling out a new update. These changes will be limited, but will hopefully mitigate some of these issues:

Changes for the next conquest:

  1. Center regions will have no item production structures (Weapon Factory, Workshop, Supply Station), besides Medical

  2. Additional Towns will start as T2 in the center regions. EDIT: This list has changed since the initial post. There will be no starter towns in Callahan's Passage

  • The Spine (Colonial)
  • Callahan's Gate (Warden)
  • The Blemish (Warden)
  • Oleander Homestead (Warden)
  • The Foundation (Colonial)
  • Great Barrony Ranch (Colonial)

  1. Sticky Bombs will be removed from Supply Drops

  2. Total player population limits may be adjusted at certain times

IMPORTANT: Please check this post again before the start of the war since things may change.

Transitioning to the next War

Important information about the next Conquest

The next Conquest starts on Tuesday at 11AM EDT (edit: this time has been fixed to accurately reflect the in-game start time)

At the start of the next Conquest, we will be enforcing strict player population balance (much like the last one) to ensure that the start of the war is fair and stable. If you join the more heavily populated faction, queue times may be longer than expected. We understand that this isn't ideal, but we have observed that this approach results in healthier gameplay in the opening hours of the Conquest. We hope to continue to look for ways to improve the balance of Conquest in the future.

NORTH SOUTH CONQUEST IS IMMINENT

We've gotten ourselves into quite a situation. The War ended overnight (ET), which means 0.13 is ready to rollout now. Since we need the full technical support of the dev team to start Conquests after a new update, the next Conquest has to start either today or next week. We decided to go with today so that everyone can enjoy the Conquest over the weekend!

Important Info

  • Conquest for War #8 starts at 2PM EDT today
  • Conquest will be North South orientation
  • The following Bridges will be destroyed at the start of the war:
    • The River Mercy (Farranac Coast)
    • The Crossing (Deadlands)
    • Callahan's Boot - Concrete Bridge only (Deadlands) Note that there's a new wooden bridge here, which will be built
    • Saltbrook Channel (Endless Shore)
    • Dearg's Fang (Endless Shore)

Please check back to this post for any last minute information. Please note that there is always risk in the rollout of a new update. Technical issues are a possibility

We understand this start time isn't ideal for everyone, but we feel that the alternative would be a 4.5 day break which includes the weekend. More importantly, we also want to get feedback eariler on North South so we can react and make appropriate changes for 0.14 since we're already knee-deep in development for it. Feedback that comes too late won't be incorporated until 0.15. For those that can't play this soon.. thanks for the patience.

In order to better support the various sub-communities that have been around for a while or are forming and growing, we've added some roles designed to help players see others that may speak their native language. These roles are purely cosmetic. As communities emerge to support other languages, more roles can be added quite easily.

In addition, it's now as easy as clicking an emoji reaction to add roles, including the faction roles. To do so, head over to #information and towards the bottom, you'll find the reactions.

Dev Branch Landing Event (Testing) - Take 2

Our last test really showed how hard these landings are going to be. We want to test this more thoroughly so we're going to do another test Monday (Tomorrow) at 6PM ET. This time we'll be taking the landings to Farranac Coast, and possibly Westgate/Mooring. The objective of this test will be to see how the standard beaches hold up. So we're going to try a few tests, and this time I'm going to do some pre-prep so that resetting and running again will take far less time. I'm hoping to just get wave after wave of consecutive beach assaults going so that we can try as many different approaches as possible. We also want to try a speed run against a totally unmanned enemy position to see how that goes.

We've launched a testing shard for World Conquest for our Bug Hunters. We are extremely nervous about a lot of the landing areas on the mainland, so we launched this shard (with all the regions) so you guys can hunt bugs, rehearse your clan's landings, or just run around grabbing screenshots and making plans. The only thing we ask is that you please report all the bugs.

If you want to be involved in the bughunter discussion, you can join up by typing ?bughunter in any chat, or just click the bug reaction in the #information. To join the server, before you click "Join War" go to the top left drop down menu and select 'Internal'.

Happy Hunting!

Going to PAX West? Let me know. We're making plans

No, we won't have a booth. But many of the developers will be there anyway to meet you. It'll be pretty laid back. We'll be going as attendees, like you, so the only way you'll find us is by getting in touch with us beforehand, so if you're thinking of going, send @verbal marsh a message on discord so we can add you to the group. We'll definitely be having some kind of big-group get-together, but the nature of this will depend entirely on you guys, so let us know what you want to see. Please only contact me if you know for sure you're coming, or if you're one of those special cases I've already reached out to from our posts back in June.

Still trying to decide if you want to come? You can take a look at this post from PAX East back in April.

Just to be clear, the mod team is stepping up on policing the usage of the jeep exploit. It is now a bannable exploit. We will be issuing out warnings and are handing out bans. Please do not discuss anything about how to replicate the exploit and avoid discussing it on the Foxhole Official Discord as discord moderators will be deleting those without warning. The exploit will be patched for 0.15.

Please communicate this memo to other players and announce it on clan discords so no one will think they are unfairly banned.

Please welcome Leon to the Clapfoot Family!

For quite a while our team has been steadily growing. We began work on Foxhole nearly three years ago, and since then our team has over doubled in size. Today we welcome yet another! Please be gentle.

Here's a little from @south bison

I'm the new artist in team, I'm from China and just graduated from Sheridan College. I'm a big fan of games. I deeply love Warhammer , Military games (Men of War, Blitzkrieg, Total War, Sins of a Solar Empire, etc ) and D&D (Neverwinter Nights, Pillars of eternity, Balder's gate, etc). In the daily life I also like play badminton, world history and reading good stories (I'm also a big fan of A song of ice and fire, SCP foundation, Lord of the rings and Cthulhu Mythos). Also, I'm a good cooker too lol. In the team, I'm the new 3d artist, most likely focusing on hard-surface things like building and vehicles now, and I hope to become a level artist & level designer one day.

Here's his artstation, if you want to follow him there: http://leon_knell.artstation.com

Pending 0.16 Release & Victory Town Reduction

Starting tomorrow, we will be reducing the number of required victory towns by 1 per day for War #13 to reduce the amount of time it will take to end the war. The required # of victory towns will not drop below three more than that claimed by the faction with more victory towns at the moment.

We've been holding onto the 0.16 update for over a week now and the conclusion of the Conquest will allow us to finally release it. In the future, we will be introducing features that will steer conquests towards a natural end as it progresses. Thanks for your patience.

We've made some changes to how #game-feedback-archive and #406130138334625799 work to help promote quality suggestions. Long story short, there's a format, which can be seen in the #game-feedback-archive pinned message. I love reading through the suggestions and hope this makes it more worth perusing for everyone. So if you like making and sharing ideas, check out #406130138334625799 .

Conquest Start Time Delay

Skirmish servers will continue to operate normally without issues.

We will keep everyone updated. Thanks for the patience.

Dead Harvest - Survive, for Kids!
@everyone
Tomorrow (Saturday) at 4pm EST!

So you thought we were done with The Dead Harvest Accord event? Not quite!
For the past 5 years I've been participating Extra Life, where thousands of players united around the world play games to raise funds for the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals. Every year, there's a 24-hour gaming marathon as one big last push. So tomorrow at 8am EST, I'll be playing games and streaming for 24 hour straight, various games including Foxhole accompanied by friends, clanmates, and the Foxhole community throughout the event.

As part of my marathon, I'll be hosting our last stand against the zombies! Join me and many others at 4pm EST Tomorrow, Saturday the 3rd as we once again do our best to survive against the zombie curse, and possibly wind up becoming part of it. Depending on how long the rounds go, we can go once or a few times! Probably a good idea to show up slightly before the event starts just in case it gets packed.

You can learn more about Extra Life here: http://extra-life.org/team/reborn zombierungif
This will be streamed here: twitch http://twitch.tv/reborn_community

Update 0.19.7.2 Server & Client Hotflix Released

  • Fixed long stall that occurs after loading into the Home Region
  • Fixed critical bug that would cause the Home Base to unexpected transfer to another location
merry perch
#

Known Issue with Region Travel

We're currently investigating an issue with traveling between regions resulting in players and vehicles ending up in places they shouldn't, like under the map and teleported into the map somewhere (weird, right?). For the time being, please report these issues into #bug-reports and be patient as the lords in orange (Developers) are diving into this. Stay tuned for more later.

sonic cape
#

Update on Region Travel Issue

After an initial investigation, we have determined that the region travel issue described in the above post is intermittent and likely caused by a disruption in communications with our third party cloud services. The disruption has subsided for now, but we are continuing to investigate the problem and are looking for ways to mitigate it in case it returns. If there any additional occurrences of this bug, please report in #bug-report. We will be monitoring it closely over the next few days.

stray meteor
verbal marsh
#

Update 2 on Region Travel Issues

This patch has introduced a number of critical issues to the game. We're tackling them one at a time, but first-and-foremost is the region travel bug. On occasion, you may travel to a new region and your vehicle will spawn somewhere it shouldn't (usually near the middle of the map). If this happens to you, please report it to modmail with a screenshot of the truck's inventory as well as your chat window

As the moderators do not have the ability to spawn things in, I will handle as many of these cases as I can (as I am available). So while you may not necessarily get your truck back immediately, we will get it back to you as soon as we can.

In true Canadian fashion, we're deeply sorry for any inconvenience.

#

0.19 Bug Status

Please read this for an update on current bugs. http://www.foxholegame.com/single-post/2018/11/17/019-Bug-Status

UPDATE: Border travel fix has been rolled out to all servers so the issue should be resolved. There is still another issue that may occasionally cause players to spawn at an invalid location when travelling from the home islands, but this should have much less of a gameplay impact than the border travel issue.

Thanks again for the patience!

Steam Awards are on now until Nov 27th (And Sale!)

This is one of those weird things that we feel like we need to tell people about, but at the same time make us feel super awkward about self-promotion, so I'm only going to do this between one and three times. Five times tops. But if I go over eleven times stop me.

The Steam awards are out. You can do it by going to the game's steam page, scrolling down, and click the 'Nominate this game for an award' button. Then you pick what kind of nomination you want to give. For example, if you think Foxhole deserves The "Best Alternate History" Award, then click that radio button and hit save.

From everyone on the developer team, we appreciate your support. Click below to go to the steam page where you can nominate us:

The Jade Cove Event

I just wanted to let everyone know where the dev team's head is at regarding this situation. The Ballistic Rocket has been one of the most difficult features the team has had to develop for Foxhole which is why we've been following the events so closely over the last day or so. We knew there were plenty of design risks and technical challenges, but it was our wish to surprise you guys with one more feature you could be excited about over the holidays. We've been really passionate about this feature and as a result probably a bit defensive about it, but understand that it's all coming from a good place.

In some ways the two rocket events yesterday were in the spirit of what we have always been trying to accomplish with Foxhole: dynamic situations and content with real high stakes instead of canned content that plays out the same every time. This also means that we have to give players the power to make real decision, both good and bad. For better or worse, a piece of Foxhole history has been made, one that has been entirely crafted by the players.

On the other hand, some of you haven't been happy about the outcome so we clearly still have a lot of work to do. I'm not going to lie, we are excited about the potential that game changing features like the Rocket can bring. However, we also know things are not perfect so we are listening very carefully to all the feedback that's coming in. Please let us know what you think wrong with the feature in this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/foxholegame/comments/aa485x/the_farranac_missile_crisis/

Thanks everyone for keeping the conversation productive and happy holidays!

EDIT: For any players that are new to the game, please check out this thread to see how you can communicate feedback to the dev team: https://www.reddit.com/r/foxholegame/comments/aacbhz/communicating_feedback_to_the_dev_team/

IMPORTANT NOTICE ABOUT UPCOMING WAR #20

Due to the continued high player population, the next World Conquest is tentatively scheduled to begin immediately after this one as Skirmish mode is unable to support the current volume of users.

With the current player population, having an extended skirmish period would result in 100s of players stuck in queue (many of them new players). This is a design and technical limitation of the current Skirmish Mode unfortunately.

The situation may change in the coming days, but consider this a HEADS UP and please be prepared for this schedule. We understand this isn't ideal for all players that are accustomed to having a Skirmish phase and will be looking to better support player population spikes in the future.

Thanks for the patience.

Community Highlights and Devstream on Youtube!

The highly anticipated, anxiously awaited, sufficiently sought-after Community Highlights is UP! Come take a look at (not all) of the amazing content the community put together over the holidays. NOW, a few disclaimers here: We didn't include everything. I tried. I really did. But someone sent me a folder of over 100 Jade Cove memes and it would have killed me to upload them all. Another big thing is that I may have simply missed some. If you go through this highlight and your art isn't featured, please repost it into the #foxhole-creative channel for the next one. There were soo many submissions I undoubtedly missed some. But remember that this Community Highlight only includes things that were posted up to January 1st. Everything after that will come on the next one.

Important Note about World Conquest #20

Starting tomorrow, we will be reducing the number of required victory towns by 1 per day for War #20 to reduce the amount of time it will take to end the war. This is an unfortunate consequence of needing to release the next patch (0.21) which we don't want to do in the middle of an on-going war.

Update 21 Build Menu Bug

We are aware of the bug that is causing all items to be greyed out from the build menu. We are looking into resolving this issue very soon. Thanks for the patience.

Update: ETA on fix is roughly 1-1.5 hours from now

War-Correspondent Retired

The output of active war updates to the War Correspondent channel has been retired as of this update. Ever since the introduction of the official War API, this was one of the goals of the Devs, to make room for community created projects. There's already a few fantastic community created services that go beyond what the War Correspondent was able to do, which can be found in #community-resources . If you're a developer or someone with way too much time on their hands and a desire to mess around with code, you can find the War API on GitHub here: https://github.com/clapfoot/warapi and come chat over in #code-talk .

Now if you excuse me, I must consume a burrito in honor of the War Correspondent. burritospinsparkle

Oh, and the Devs are looking into that issue of the build menu being messed up or something, so stay tuned for a fix, as mentioned in the message above.

The fix for Update 21 is now live. Sorry about that folks!

We now return you to your regularly scheduled skirmish mode. We apologize about that. The world conquest should still start at its regularly scheduled time tomorrow at 11AM EST barring any further problems.

For we must see the End of War

Starting tomorrow we're going to be reducing the Victory Town requirement count by 1 everyday. This regrettable circumstance is because we are operating under a constrained timeline to release patch 0.23 in the middle of this coming week.

0.23 will bring a fresh war and new content including the relic vehicles. Take a look at some of these amazing screenshots from the devbranch, taken by @unique harbor

Update 23 Preload

A reminder that the next World Conquest starts at 11:30AM EST tomorrow. If you want to participate at the start you will need to have your client updated to 23. The client update will be published at 11:00AM EST tomorrow, but if you would like to preload the update earlier you can do so by accessing the beta branch called update-0.23 on Steam. You can access this branch by right clicking on Foxhole in Steam and then clicking on Properties and then the Betas tab.

Relic Vehicles Balancing

After reviewing the data on Relic Vehicles in the early war, monitoring the situation throughout the day today, and considering the massive influx of new players that don't have the necessary experience to counter armoured vehicles, we have decided to disable spawning additional Relic Vehicles into the world. When more Anti-Tank weapons become unlocked, we will ease them back into the game. We will reevaluate their balance for future wars as well. We definitely missed the mark a bit on balancing this one. Thanks for all the feedback.

For more information regarding the motivations behind these changes, please read my comment on Reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/foxholegame/comments/b125od/general_information_about_relics/eij7ow2/.

EDIT: Relic Blueprints will not drop as well until we begin easing back the Relic Vehicle Husk spawns back in.

verbal marsh
#

Relic Vehicles Balancing (Part 2)

Now that anti-tank equipment has been made more readily available, we are going to start slowly reintroducing the spawn rates of the relic vehicles into the game. Please note that initially the spawn rates may be little more than toekn values, resulting in fewer than 1 relic vehicle per day. If things remain relatively stable, we will continue to bring up the spawn rates throughout next week so that more players may find and enjoy them.

EDIT: Blueprints are NOT presently enabled to drop out of component nodes. Only husks.

Thank you

Resistance Phase, Update 24, and the next War

Just wanted to clarify a few things regarding resistance phase and the next war.

  1. A reminder that Resistance Phase is currently a bare bones feature and should not feel like any significant departure from normal conquest gameplay outside of what was described in the Update 23 release notes (http://www.foxholegame.com/blog-1/update-23-release-notes). Right now, it serves to bridge the gap between two wars and to replace skirmish mode. We implemented Resistance Phase early because it was necessary to allow us to internally begin work on other big unannounced features coming later this year. We hope to build on Resistance Phase in the future with new features and improvements that will hopefully make the experience between wars feel more continuous.

  2. The start of the next war will be announced tomorrow.

  3. The map will be completely reset when the next war starts.

  4. Update 24 will hopefully arrive later this week.
