i have fixed my lag issue by verifying game files
now another problem pops up
whenever i select a faction, game freezes then crashes mentioning timing out after 30.00 seconds
young moon
But the peapole in the foxholediscosusn are telling me that i can't play
velvet sable
the i5-2520M is dual core
so your computer passes the CPU requirement. The issue is your iGPU. To my knowledge, Intel HD 3000 doesn't support direct x11, which is required for the game.
@young moon
young moon
@velvet sable I'm so sad

:( Maybe if/when you get a new computer/laptop, you would be able to play the game as well
There's quite a lot of prebuilts out there that are more than capable of running foxhole for about $500ish

<@&282920218462912512> @proud schooner Any help?
terse flume
im assuming the crash is when it actually starts connecting to the server
the "used to pop up" is referring to a pop up with the error
i verified game files, pop up vanished
any way to fix it?
i know for a fact i could play before 0.6
valid schooner
I have had an issue joining many of times and I just continued to rejoin and rejoin over and over and it eventually lets me in.
terse flume
well the ammount of time it would take for that is hours
as it takes about 15 minutes to launch the game
wicked rampart
15 mins ? Damn, was it like this before 0.6?
wicked rampart
Tried re-installing the game ?
terse flume
yes
same result
i tried verifying game files, twice
restarted computer multiple times
valid schooner
Do other games you play take awhile to start up?
terse flume
not really
wicked rampart
Updated Video Card drivers?
valid schooner
I was only asking due to the possibility of hard drive health declining if other programs had issues loading as well. But if this is an isolated issue at least you can track the issue from there.
So you are able to at least hit the home screen?
terse flume
yes
everything is (relatively) normal except for login to the game
startup is a bit slow but i dont mind that
valid schooner
Have you tried turning everything down on the graphics end or at least checking to see if it is before proceeding?
terse flume
it was all down to begin with
valid schooner
And is currently?
terse flume
yes
valid schooner
And also, have you attempted to join different servers or just one?
terse flume
atleast 3
valid schooner
Okay.
proud schooner
In this case:
• Are you on an SSD? Answer: HDD
• Run Windows Update lately? If not, do so Answer: doing so
• Run DXDiag and grab a screenshot of the System tab and the Display tab
terse flume
im on a hard drive
i dont think i have updated windows, not sure why that is relevant
valid schooner
It can be very relevant
terse flume
and 3 let me go do that
proud schooner
👍
It will also typically update drivers and such, and any important updates that have come down to correct issues
Making sure Windows is up to date can be surprisingly helpful
One example: when Windows 10 got the update to help speed up games, it actually caused issues with some, and and update was sent out to fix

dxdiag ran, this is what i see

You're running on a Laptop right?

this is NOT a laptop
proud schooner
oh
terse flume
(even though my laptop isnt that different with it only being dual-core instead of quad)
proud schooner
I see you have a Celeron processor at 2Ghz with integrated graphics. It's quite simply not powerful enough to run Foxhole
valid schooner
But he was before.
proud schooner
Oh
terse flume
it could run foxhole during 0.5
proud schooner
Do you have a separate graphics card?
terse flume
not sure
valid schooner
A variable has changed since before.
proud schooner
Graphics card is where I'm leaning
Easiest way to check - look at the back of your PC - if you have monitor hookups on a card in the slots, you have a graphics card. If not, it's likely just integrated graphics
You can also take a pic of the back of your pc
(it should show there if you have a graphics card, in DXDiag that is, but if it's failing/failed, it might not)
valid schooner
A good overall driver up date is always a good try accompanied by a windows update check. I would suggest using Snappy Driver which gathers your machines info and it’s relative drivers from the internet and updates any and all as it seems fit. I can assist you in this process if you’re interested.
That graphics driver is from 2015 so it may have an update (may not)
worn fable
Why is there not a setting so I can switch the game to another monitor
Literally unplayable
plucky reef
Gotta set the other monitor to be your default iirc
I think that worked for me when I had 2 monitors, don't think there was any other way

@worn fable You can in turn make the game in windowed mode and simply drag the game over and full screen again using Alt+Enter. Tis what I do to switch back and forth.
dense relic
i cannot afford a new one plus i only just got it like a week ago
valid schooner
What's your PSU wattage?

Windowed mode doesnt do anything its the same as fullscreen
Also Alt Enter doesnt work either
upper creek
Alt enter only works in-match
worn fable
Yeah its not working
mellow parrot
darkmist, change the resolution to enable moving the foxhole window
then fullscreen it once it's on your other screen
only certain resolutions have a window that can be moved
@worn fable ^^^
try windows 1280x960 then drag it to your other monitor
*windowed

hey you beautiful people
if you can run Foxhole at 60 fps with max (or near it) settings, what are your specs?

Dunno if its happening only to me, but sometimes foxhole crashed and my computer basically restarts itself
Does anyone else have this problem?
<@&282920218462912512>
valid schooner
Yeah agreed that seems extreme, does it go through the process of shutting down, or does it abruptly power off?
sacred crystal
Yeah
Its abruptly shuts off
Just happened again
And mind you that im not playing on a toaster
valid schooner
Interesting.
sacred crystal
Basically foxhole just freezes, then white screen then instant restart
valid schooner
Could be a driver crash? Do you have amd or nvidia?
valid schooner
Same here! Have you checked GeForce experience to see if it’s up to date? Could try that firstly
sacred crystal
I do, havent updated in a few weeks,will do
valid schooner
Also, are your fans kicked on on the card itself?
sacred crystal
Kicked?
valid schooner
Awesome I know I updated recently myself so might help
Sorry, lingo. Are you video card fans on? It’s standard that they will not turn on until a certain temperature threshold has been met.
valid schooner
Absolutely!
I’m doubtful that it would be a heat issue with a higher quality card and fairly newer one like a 1070. Also, about how long do you last before getting booted?
sacred crystal
@valid schooner aight, thanks for the info!
valid schooner
Absolutely. Give me a jingle if you run into the issue more.

How skilled are you with computers @jovial igloo
if you can open a terminal
type netstat -b when the game is running and trying to connect to the server
you have to run the terminal as administrator
jovial igloo
Im decent but not that good XD
serene hare
Its most likely a port/nat issue
if its not that then for some reason you cannot connect to that host in particular
I mean its definitely a network issue
but I don't want to spend the next 5 hours teaching you how to diagnose
easiest thing to do would be to log into your router
put your computer on the DMZ
should work after that

Does Foxhole usually take 4gb RAM on startup?
sand cosmos
Mhhh it usually lags my PC during the startup soo it's possible
proud schooner
Just watched it load up - hit at max ~700mb during loading
Of course this can be different based on total specs, especially CPU and GPU
Something to maybe check is if you have an SSD, to disable a Windows service called Superfetch (stop it, then disable it) and see if it improves at all. If it doesn't improve, re-enable it.
Superfetch is known to play hardball with some SSDs and increase RAM, CPU, and Disk usage

@latent current even if the dev's were willing to do it the cunts over at Sony would probably only agree if it was a PlayStation exclusive. Then you're splitting dev team across two different platforms. You're just intoducing needless complication and adding evil greedy cunts to the mix who should be more concerned with Uncharted and other PS titles than a homegrown title like Foxhole.
latent current
I see your point, and your point is VERY valid.

Hey guys, Ive posted my problem on the Steam forums earlier last week and was told to go over here for help.
So my problem is this: Two weeks ago my screen started to flash green when playing in Fullscreen. I can play in windowed but my frames seem to suffer when I do. How dost a loyal Colonial fix this problem?
wicked rampart
Have you tried putting your game in Windows Borderless? I know it isn't the fix, but it is a temporary work-around. @carmine thorn
Sorry Windows Fullscreen*
carmine thorn
I have and it works, but for some odd reason my frames drop when I go borderless
wicked rampart
Does changing Graphics to a lower setting fix the frame drops?
carmine thorn
Im playing on medium already
wicked rampart
Also make sure your Graphics Cards are updated
carmine thorn
Dropping it further would just make the game look awfull
Guess Im gonna have to wait untill this gets fixed in a patch, right now I cant enjoy the game
wicked rampart
Sorry for not being able to help as much
Better to play then to have frame drops if you look at it that way
carmine thorn
I mean the game is awsome, Ive put in around 130 hours into it, but being lowered below 50 fps when working around a green flashing screen aint fun

It can also be your anti-virus blocking Foxhole
young hare
I'm late here but did you run Foxhole as admin? I'm not sure if that would change much, but for me Foxhole required me to run it as admin

it's maybe because some installer wants to install something for it and the file gets deleted or something every time you close it, just a guess

Is it possible to disable Windows Defender?

Right, just a little update for what I've tried. I disabled my anti-viruses and firewalls, no luck, so I turned them back on. Currently I am in the process of reinstalling the game for the 4th or 5th time.

My laptop was restarting and updating, and I turned it off before it had finished, not realizing it was still going.
Now there's a dark grey screen with a cursor.

I've tried turning it off and back on again, a few other things, but I can't get off this screen.

@terse flume unplug laptop, remove battery for a couple minutes, plug in, try to start

The screen is just a light black/dark grey screen with a cursor
@proud schooner this means I stick a paper clip or something like that in to take the battery out right?

You see the + and - sign
terse flume
Because on some other electronics, that's usually a reset mechanism
@proud schooner didn't work :/
proud schooner
Were you running windows 10?
proud schooner
@terse flume your OS likely got minorly corrupt. During an update, system files are being changed. If you shut it down in the middle of that, it may have messed some stuff up
So,
you have two possible options to fix yourself:
addempt to boot into the Advanced Options (usually F11 when booting up or something) and look for something that indicates "Repair"
NOT reset
yet.
If you can get it to automatically repair, it may work and fix itself
If not, you're left with having to reset Windows and/or reinstall.
Unless, you can download the windows 10 installation media onto a USB, you can also use the repair tool in that
terse flume
Ok
So I need to turn it off
Then turn it back on, and while it's booting up, I hold F11?
proud schooner
yeh
or whatever it indicated
Boot Options
stuff like that
to get into windows 10 recovery
it's different for many computers really.
terse flume
Nothing is popping up when I press F9, F10, F11, or F10
It just restarted to "gather information and report" (rough quote)

gentle fable
Yo my psu makes a vibrating sound and i have to gently lift my computer to the side and tap it down for it to stop.
It happened before but it was last june and hasnt happened until today
I checked the psu and it seems out of the 4 locations under it. one location is missing a circle styrofoam piece.
I'm guessing its because its uneven but it only makes the sound out of nowhere
At all other times its completely quiet. i'm guessing its the styrofoam piece but when i google about it, and google for a new piece i get no information about it.
proud schooner
@gentle fable you're not likely to find a new piece. Is this the foam under the PSU or within?
gentle fable
Under the PSU
proud schooner
what case
proud schooner
ah
gentle fable
ABS Thermaltake
proud schooner
is it very thin foam? Or thick
gentle fable
about a cm and a half
About the width of the piece of the charger you plug into a phone
gentle fable
I'm pretty sure it is the foam, but its weird it'll be perfectly fine for months then start again
proud schooner
though a psu shouldn't rreally rattle
gentle fable
I'm guessing its because i moved it or touched it recently though
proud schooner
unless the fan is off balance
gentle fable
It actually started after a cable tie broke off in the psu
proud schooner
You could simply try remounting the PSU
gentle fable
I remounted it before
It fixes the issue for awhile.
The cable tie was holding two wires together, but there was two cable ties beforehand, and i've watched the psu while on and the wires don't go near the psu fan at all.
I'm guessing the shift in weight in the psu caused it to just be off balanced but i'm just making guess, i'll try getting some foam for it, thanks for the idea.

I want to ask, does joining different area server (America, Europe, etc) actually have impact to game latency/ping?
thorn rover
Nope
polar dirge
If my friend want to play from SEA (Singapore, Indonesia), what server best to join to play smoothy without high latency/ping?
thorn rover
Any of the servers will work fine
There’s no difference besides there being a possible language barrier
polar dirge
Oh, thanks for the answer. Is there any way to test the game latency before starting to play? Maybe ping test using command prompt, or any other way?
regal cypress
Unfortunately no, though I play from Singapore and find American/European servers fine
unique grotto
@thorn rover R u sure? That's why i get noticeable latency while hitting scrap on barracks/fox, that's why only eu and ru servers were down when eu cluster went down? Yeah, you can drop 1st issue at "server lags" but still. Ingame tool or at least server ips to run /ping on would help a bit.

Hey so how does the wiki get it's information? Like, how do they know the halftrack has 2500 health? I've looked into opening the pak file in the game folder but I dunno what I'm doing. https://foxhole.gamepedia.com/Half-track
Just curious to see if that information is accurate still.
minor junco
@indigo thicket I suppose they use weapon values they got from the weapon range and used the number of shots as a rough multiplier, so these values should be estimates
You can try to find who made the edits and see if you can contact them
indigo thicket
So I'm not knowledgeable on game programming by any means, but so like if the game code isn't open source does that mean we can't see this stuff ourselves?
serene ice
A lot of it came from my damage guide on steam, I think some people took the stats I had tested and added it to the wiki - The values are def not 100 accurate but will be RELITIVELY accurate based on damage given by HE at the firing range

Is there anything regarding colours if you go to steam library and then foxhole and then properties?

Nope, and tried all graphics setting in the game menu

Maybe try reinstalling foxhole?

Well sorry but I have no idea what it could be seeing as it's only foxhole that has the issue
I'll update mine and see if I get that issue
serene ice
Yea it's really confusing me becasue I havn't changed any of the games display settings
Don't do it lol
Maybe it's something to do with Windows10 and a 3D driver

But why it would only effect foxhole I'm not sure

Without vsync though? Don't want my game looking like choppy shit

Windows fullscreen is glitched, windowed full screen seems to fix the issue, it shows flashing yellow and green ln fullscreen but not on windowed lr windowed fullscreen
Advendra it is clearly the game glitching, windowed full screen is as good as full screen and easier to alt tab with so why is it not as good
polar dirge
Its just in my experience, playing games with windowed fullscreen (if available) making it easier to close the game in case it hang. I personally experience this playing Final Fantasy XIV.
Dont know if this applies to other games also.
But still, why some games separated the true fullscreen and windowed fullscreen, if both are the same??

Normally Your Screen Updates Pixel By Pixel, From Left To Right, Top To Bottom. If You Turn On Vertical-Sync, It Renders Top To Bottom, Left To RIght. Reduces Tearing At The Cost Of Performance.

@terse flume i don't think foxhole is made for multimonitor games, what you can do is to go to screen manager and try to make 2 monitors work as one, i think there's an option to allow it. But there's no option like this in this game, or we don't know one.
You can always suggest it in #game-feedback-archive
