blissful sequoia
#

and they've got posts for 3 different problems - but have any of us experienced just one of those problems? i have all 3

desert river
#

@noble herald did you make sure you had the vc2015 redist installed?

#

You can find it in here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Foxhole_CommonRedist\vcredist\2015

meager bear
#

guys can anyone help me with a problem?? since the new update my entire game is moving like a slide show

ripe sluice
#

Does anyone know if these issues also affected the .17 beta?

#

@meager bear Your framerate took a dive?

#

Did it run smooth before?

meager bear
#

no im gramefrte is on 60 but everything is skipping a frame or something like mini teleports

#

yes it was perfect before update

ripe sluice
#

Ah...that happens to me if I don't have fans cycled up to max...might be power consumption settings

#

Or network related

meager bear
#

i just got disconnected

ripe sluice
#

But it's not much, right? Just a tiny skip, right?

#

Oh?

#

You might want to give the last post in the announcements channel a read

meager bear
#

na its unplayable skips

#

trucks look liek the are speedhackin when they drive past me

#

i can live stream it and show you how bad it is

ripe sluice
#

That sounds like network issues...are you sure that it isn't network problems?

#

That could help

meager bear
#

ok il lset it up

#

tell em when your watching

ripe sluice
#

Hmm.... interesting

meager bear
#

its saying im on 15 fps lol

ripe sluice
#

Now you have capable hardware, right?

meager bear
#

now 1 fps

#

i have 16 gb ram i7 and nvidea 1070

#

it was worknig perfectly on high graphics before update

#

i have sound off and all settings on lowest and im on 10 fps

ripe sluice
#

Have you tried restarting your computer?

meager bear
#

ok

#

i restarted my computer and its working fine again at 60 fps wierd

ripe sluice
#

Always reboot with any issue. Funny what it fixes.

#

Hmm..well, simple fix.

desert river
#

so, crazy theory im working on

#

make your computer go slower and see if it works better

#

report back if you notice any change in outcomes

#

(run another game in the background)

blissful sequoia
#

crazy theory is right

spark void
#

???

blissful sequoia
#

we've exhausted every potential fix we can do without source code lol

desert river
#

well, you tried it and it worked @blissful sequoia ?

blissful sequoia
#

no, didn't try it, because it's a crazy theory, and it wont work lol

desert river
#

try it...

#

i got a > 90% success rate if I have a game open in the background

blissful sequoia
#

but you still cant join the game

desert river
#

correct

#

but these may be different issues

blissful sequoia
#

so still 0% success rate

#

no theyre the same issue

desert river
#

lol, fair

#

im not convinced

blissful sequoia
#

id bet my life on it

desert river
#

burn bright, die young

spark void
#

Go run a bench mark test and try again space.

desert river
#

factorio is my benchmark

blissful sequoia
#

has anyone tried removing all their dev related stuff? any of the c++ redists?

spark void
#

A real one

desert river
#

you do it, report back

spark void
#

I really don’t want to do that derp

blissful sequoia
#

and just checking - since we cant see all the bug reports, are we all nvidia users?

#

lol misterdad nobody does, i think thats why it hasnt happened haha

#

I think their dev team is very good at finding bugs with almost no clues, so I'm just going to be patient

desert river
#

gtx 970

blissful sequoia
#

everyone i've seen complain is a geforce of some sort, but different cards

noble herald
#

GTX 770

blissful sequoia
#

yep ive got a 670

#

but its clearly not everyone with nvidia. so far it seems like nvidia users with dev tools installed heh

desert river
#

I passed that on, they are working on it

blissful sequoia
#

The good news is a lot of us have the problem. It's bad if you're the only one

noble herald
#

I can get update 0.16 and start the game

austere galleon
#

how do i make shirts|||| my friends list is in the way

desert river
#

change your game resolution to be wider

#

use window mode

austere galleon
#

so the second number

#

is wider right

desert river
#

first number needs to be big sized compared to the 2nd number

#

it should always be bigger, you just need it more bigerer

austere galleon
#

oh XD

blissful sequoia
#

have you tried setting your clock to GMT?

desert river
#

no...

blissful sequoia
#

tis a crazy theory, unless someone is measuring time using UTC instead of local time or something

desert river
#

i gotta work, but im curious

blissful sequoia
#

but then 23/24 people would have this problem

desert river
#

yeah, for real

austere galleon
#

try playing without discord

desert river
#

tried that

austere galleon
#

i noticed that kinda thing happened to me because voice chat would show when id loose connection

desert river
#

for me, I have to make my computer slower to start the game, still does not work after that though

#

but at least it gets me to the menu

austere galleon
#

compatibility mode m8?

blissful sequoia
#

no no its ... its a foxhole bug

desert river
#

nah, gotta go make my paper now

blissful sequoia
#

way too many people have this to be a compatibility issue

#

we're trying to do brain surgery with a dirty rock trying to solve this

desert river
#

aztecs did it...

blissful sequoia
#

Hah yea you're right, all those neurology wards named after Aztec cities...

desert river
#

🎓

heavy nest
#

Can I somehow hide the list of recent voice messages ?

inner basin
#

@desert river @ripe sluice @blissful sequoia @spark void I need to recruit y'all to my tech team lmao

#

@heavy nest I do not believe you can hide just the recent voice UI

#

Is it just bothering your gameplay?

blissful sequoia
#

Does it pay well?

heavy nest
#

@inner basin This list prevents me from making orders

desert river
#

@inner basin I'm only a temporary consultant

gusty jasper
#

@heavy nest Hey. Would you mind forwarding that information to the developers in #bug-reports with some screenshots? That's something that'd need fixing

ripe sluice
#

I'm not having any issues with the .17 update @blissful sequoia
And I don't have c++ Dev stuff installed....so your theory might hold water....

inner basin
#

🤔 I love this discussion

blissful sequoia
#

I'm not sure I want my name attached to that theory haha, I don't think it's very strong

#

I think it's a bad line of code in the graphics init (and re-init when alt-tabbing) that hangs the network connection

ripe sluice
#

So why only a portion of the playerbase is having issues? Would it be slightly hardware dependant?

inner basin
#

It must be. Or it could be something else ¯_(ツ)_/¯

desert river
#

@blissful sequoia do you have windows subsystem for linux?

ripe sluice
#

I have an GTX 950m. It's a laptop card, and thus is a little different, but not that much...

inner basin
#

I am curently running a GTX 950, and am able to launch Foxhole without it crashing.

ripe sluice
#

Hmm.....

blissful sequoia
#

Yeah I do space

ripe sluice
#

I saw a 730, 670, 970. So it's not hardware architecture

blissful sequoia
#

I've also seen 1000 series in there too, but so far it's always nvidia

spark void
#

Derp, did you see my reddit post?

desert river
#

Is that your reddit post?

spark void
#

The timeout? Yes

desert river
#

the one i linked you?

spark void
#

I don’t know what you linked me, I didn’t see it

spark void
#

Yeah that

#

Mark said to try adding arguments to the start up options

blissful sequoia
#

Yea I saw it

spark void
#

I’m not home to try, can one of you try it???

blissful sequoia
#

try what?

spark void
#

Look at the post..

desert river
#

We have 100% the same issue right?

#

all 3 of us?

spark void
#

Pretty sure. I get the crash and server timeout

desert river
#

issues... plural :p

spark void
#

Just do it

desert river
#

yeah i did

spark void
#

I’m so desperate

desert river
#

I can't connect

#

but it gets me to the home screen

blissful sequoia
#

It appears to fix the starting error, and the alt-tab error? But it still cannot connect to server

spark void
#

😦

blissful sequoia
#

So whatever they're using curl for probably related to connecting to server

#

yep, game started 3/3 and can alt tab, but still no server connection

spark void
#

So,

#

What about this...

desert river
#

thats why I was asking about windows subsystem for linux, i also have that

spark void
#

Open up command line, cd to the war.exe and invoke war.exe —help

#

See if there are process argument documentation

desert river
#

@spark void what about you?

spark void
#

Or /help

desert river
#

windows subsystem for linux?

spark void
#

I’m not at home, like I said

#

Oh, just windows 10

blissful sequoia
#

whaaa they cant be calling an external curl

desert river
#

meaning: did you install "Bash on Ubuntu on Windows on My Computer" ?

spark void
#

No I didn’t, space

desert river
#

ok 😦

blissful sequoia
#

msys installed?

#

cygwin? anything like that?

spark void
#

Derp, any process arguments?

#

I might have Cygwin

desert river
#

i cant look at the moment

spark void
#

War.exe /help ??

#

War.exe —help

#

War.exe -? Or war.exe /?

blissful sequoia
#

that would be interesting if it was an interaction with curl lol

#

does windows come with curl now? its at c/windows/system32? lol

#

nah no command line args reported

desert river
#
where curl
C:\Windows\System32\curl.exe
#

@blissful sequoia can you check both your machines?

blissful sequoia
#

I'll have to do it later. What would checking the second machine get us?

spark void
#

Versions of curl?

desert river
#

you said it works on on of your machines but not the other

#
curl --version
curl 7.55.1 (Windows) libcurl/7.55.1 WinSSL
Release-Date: [unreleased]
Protocols: dict file ftp ftps http https imap imaps pop3 pop3s smtp smtps telnet tftp
Features: AsynchDNS IPv6 Largefile SSPI Kerberos SPNEGO NTLM SSL
blissful sequoia
#

Yea but the command line args would be the same on both machines, right?

desert river
#

you may not even have curl on your working system

blissful sequoia
#

doesn't seem like much reason to test the machine I have that works

#

oh...

desert river
#

where curl

#

my theory is they have their own curl, but its using our system curl instead

blissful sequoia
#

im pretty sure i do and probably have the linux sub

desert river
#

ok...

#

well thats what I got :p

#

🤷‍♂️

blissful sequoia
#

id bet real money if i moved that amd graphics card into my broken machine it would magically work

spark void
#

I would venmo you

desert river
#

(renames curl.exe)

blissful sequoia
#

ok so how about this... i DO have the linux subsystem, but no curl

#

where is the curl coming from? probably git on windows

#

consistent with dev tools

desert river
#

where curl

blissful sequoia
#

no curl

#

so presence of curl at /windows/system32 is ... interesting

desert river
#

i dont even know what puts that there :p

blissful sequoia
#

like i said, probably git

desert river
#

i have way too much stuff

blissful sequoia
#

often comes packaged with a bunch of GNU tools like bash and curl and find

#

theres a foxhole updating happening, so.. .maybe thatll get it =p

desert river
#

hoping for it

spark void
#

!!!!

desert river
#

no promises, but they are trying to address it

blissful sequoia
#

doesnt fix it >_<

#

but hey maybe the curl thing is a good place to start

desert river
#

you all got docker or Hyper V installed?

spark void
#

I have hyper v

blissful sequoia
#

yah ive got hyper-v too

tranquil forge
#

That confirms our theory guys!

blissful sequoia
#

could imagine that making trouble for the network

tranquil forge
#

we may have a fix coming later today

desert river
#

awesome, ty

blissful sequoia
#

wonder if just nuking my curl executable would fix it

desert river
#

nah, think its deeper

blissful sequoia
#

why?

desert river
#

for example, I can't even run the cosmosDB emulator on my system because of similar issues

#

because hyperv takes over your networking device

#

FML

#

This is why ^

#

(my guess anyhow)

primal void
#

the launch options seem to have made a difference, can now see stuff in the news feed and browse events, but still not join the war

#

also I do have hyper-v as well

inner basin
#

jesus, this is above my level of knowledge now

blissful sequoia
#

yea hyper-v makes a virtual switch so it can share

#

Ok, so I was wrong, I guess there was a fix we could do on our side haha

desert river
#

You first :p

#

I got real money riding on my hyper v existing :p

blissful sequoia
#

oh I'll happily remove hyper-v, I've got the linux subsystem!

desert river
#

try it, see if it works

inner basin
#

damn y'all boolin on this computer knowledge

desert river
#

you may still need the thread switch though

blissful sequoia
#

I'll have to try later

lofty belfry
#

we have a potential fix coming guys

#

no need to mess with your setups if you don't want to

desert river
#

you can't keep a soldier from the war!

lofty belfry
#

😄

inner basin
#

Awesome @lofty belfry

blissful sequoia
#

is it the hyper-v network or curl doing it?

lofty belfry
#

all I can say is that hyper-v was the final clue to the puzzle we needed

desert river
#

awww

#

we are dying to know

#

promise you will write it up some day, for the sake of the children

spark void
#

HyperV bites me in the ass again.

blissful sequoia
#

well ... was the nvidia thing just a red herring? do developers just hate owning AMD cards?

lofty belfry
#

nvidia thing was a symptom yeah

blissful sequoia
#

symptom?? so it was related?

#

coincidence?

lofty belfry
#

sorry guys, I really can't go into detail. But we really appreciate all your patience and help with debugging this 😄

blissful sequoia
#

my working machine doesnt have curl in that directory, hyper-v, nor an nvidia card

inner basin
#

I am both surprised and

ripe sluice
#

If I remember right, I don't have hyper-v....

blissful sequoia
#

I think you do

#

or something like it? virtual box?

ripe sluice
#

But isn't that virtualization on the CPU level?

desert river
#

you can't share

ripe sluice
#

I'm not sure that it's enabled

spark void
#

They must grab the first networking device and perform a network request, instead of getting a working/valid network device

blissful sequoia
#

or its the virtual switch

#

maybe they cant tell us, but we are free to speculate!

#

there are so many easy tests to find out! but i'm not home to do it anymore. and i bet theres a patch before I can find out haha

desert river
#

I don't think dear war leaders want us to know

#

We will still ❤ you though, we all do stupid shit...

ripe sluice
#

I see patch is here.

tranquil forge
#

That's not the correct patch

ripe sluice
#

Oh?

tranquil forge
#

There's another one we're working that will hopefully resolve the issue

ripe sluice
#

Ah

#

Well, I hope it helps with the other minor issues

blissful sequoia
#

I hope I'm able to finally tow the field artillery after I uninstall hyper-v

desert river
#

plot twist: uninstalling hyperv takes longer than updating foxhole

tranquil forge
#

This next patch will fix quite a few issues including the disconnect that happens as an FMG gunner

blissful sequoia
#

fixing problems I didn't even know I had yet!

desert river
#

Well, hopefully I'll be shooting at you later tonight derp. Thanks y'all for the help and thanks devs for focusing on us.

blissful sequoia
#

good luck hitting

desert river
#

they fixed that bug too

blissful sequoia
#

I'll add your bag to the quilt.

spark void
#

When does the fix for the server disconnect occur? I'm crashing on startup and getting failures to connect when I join a faction.

#

I just downloaded the hotfix and still crash at beginning

inner basin
#

This patch did not fix the ubiquitous crashes

spark void
#

oh :/

tranquil forge
#

@inner basin The patch out there now doesn't contain the common crash. That's coming very soon.

desert river
#

I'm conveniently still working, but when I am done working I will need beer and foxhole, but I'm all out of beer and don't have a car right now. So I will need foxhole 😭😭😭

hushed tinsel
#

voice chat error 6-0

#

whenever i press local voice button

#

help

#

local chat error 2-5045

#

that too

#

also backpacks are always empty, even if I just killed them

#

and they for example had a rifle on them

#

if they were holding a rifle at death**

#

i just killed a builder

#

he didnt have anything on him besides a hammer, a pistol, and a medkit

#

even though he was moving around as if encumbered

#

do i have to fucking @ someone

desert river
#

people watch this room

hushed tinsel
#

well im getting no resposnes

desert river
#

oh, well maybe if you are more impetulant

#

continue

spark void
#

@desert river Just uninstalled HyperV.

desert river
#

Good luck!

hushed tinsel
#

i dont know what that word means idiet

spark void
#

Well. It works!

#

I can fucking play foxhole now

hushed tinsel
#

not being able to get things from backpacks is making it impossible for me to get anything but a pistol on the front that im at

spark void
#

@blissful sequoia

desert river
#

@hushed tinsel go to #bug-reports and format one like the other people are

blissful sequoia
#

Yeah I really don't want to uninstall it if I don't have to. Tried disabling the network but that wasn't enough

spark void
#

Well, I can tell you it worked for me lol.

desert river
#

@hushed tinsel try the usual steps of restarting the game and such things

hushed tinsel
#

problem with doing that : i will lose my spawn

desert river
#

@hushed tinsel if that does not work cry a bunch and throw a tantrum and see if that works

hushed tinsel
#

i was hoping someone had an easy fix

#

which is why i was askin here

desert river
#

nah

hushed tinsel
#

space you dont need to be fucking rude

desert river
#

I was born an asshole, I can't help it

hushed tinsel
#

ok liberal

desert river
#

anyway, I don't think anybody has encountered that issue

#

you should report it

hushed tinsel
#

"update queued?"

#

was there an update today?

desert river
#

one so far at least

#

this next one may be for the crash issues

#

@hushed tinsel if restarting does not fix your issue, you should report it so they can get to it tomorrow

tranquil forge
#

0.17.16.3 fixes a bunch of crashes and not being able to connect to home regions

#

Has it worked for you guys?

hushed tinsel
#

i never had the issue so eh

desert river
#

@tranquil forge I have not touched my system yet so I'll let you know. Should I remove the arguments?

spark void
#

@tranquil forge I just uninstalled HyperV on my PC and now I'm able to connect to the war

desert river
spark void
#

The recent hotfix didn't fix my issues.

blissful sequoia
#

There is another

desert river
#

It fixed me right up

#

literally just now @spark void

spark void
#

Was there just a new update?

tranquil forge
#

@spark void You got the patch that was just posted a few moments ago?

blissful sequoia
#

@tranquil forge works for me now

desert river
#

@tranquil forge Your team is awesome, make sure they know that.

spark void
#

@tranquil forge The hotfix that was posted a few hours ago didn't fix me, so I uninstalled HyperV

#

Was there a hotfix just put out a few minutes ago?

blissful sequoia
#

you didn't have enough patience, misterdad

tranquil forge
#

Yup. That first hotfix was for another crash

spark void
#

lol @blissful sequoia

#

Damn, uninstalled HyperV too soon

#

What build is the latest then?

desert river
spark void
#

Thats what I have, it must have downloaded while I was in game

desert river
#

yeah, its a tiny game

spark void
#

Thanks @tranquil forge

tranquil forge
#

np!

spark void
#

I'm glad to be able to play this weekend

#

I updated my Reddit post, I'll also mention a new hotfix addressed it

blissful sequoia
#

Yea thanks for the late night patch

tranquil forge
#

Great thanks!

elfin slate
#

Help! the game since the update does not open, when I give to start in my profile comes out playing, but at ... 3...4 seconds closes

atomic cipher
#

Are folks getting much more fatal errors as of late?

desert river
#

I played for hours after the recent update 👍

noble herald

Hmm....

south spire

terse flume

That's weird

ripe sluice

eager flame
#

The most annoying thing ever is when your own foxholes shoot you..... why is that going on ...

unkempt bramble
#

Crashing is fixed and now I'm getting the lost connection bug 👌

ripe sluice
#

@noble herald @south spire Just to be clear, what are you running on?

spark void
#

@unkempt bramble have HyperV ?

young hare
#

For some reason quitting foxhole leaves the task running

#

Gotta go into task manager and end the game

#

Dunno if thats healthy or not

ripe sluice
#

Often the game will close eventually, but it does take some time to unload/close

#

Is there any progress on the "unable to connect to server" bug?

wheat latch
#

@fallow steppe @elfin slate @south spire are you still having this issue? can you please try verifying your local files like this;

fallow steppe
#

ok

wheat latch
#

@ripe sluice were you having any issues prior to update?

ripe sluice
#

Oh, I've not had any issues, just curious

#

I was hunting around for a way to log the app, but no luck

wheat latch
#

the latest hotfix should fix that issue hopefully

fallow steppe
#

still

#

have problem

ripe sluice
#

I saw that it was listed, but "for some people" was also stated

wheat latch
#

@fallow steppe so to be clear, you click on play but nothing happens right

young hare
#

Oh also I have another bug where I can't hear others voice

#

All my voice chat things are on

#

The symbol pops up

ripe sluice
#

Is the voice chat server still out?

fallow steppe
ripe sluice
#

It went out last night...

wheat latch
#

@young hare did you confirm your output device under voice settings in the options menu?

fallow steppe
wheat latch
#

voice was working today.

fallow steppe
#

the game dosent open

ripe sluice
#

And how long have you waited?

#

For me, foxhole takes about 30sec before I get to the main menu

fallow steppe
#

10-20s

ripe sluice
#

Try waiting a little longer

fallow steppe
#

i did but still

inner basin
#

If anybody still needs help, you can always ping me

noble herald
#

still cant start the game

inner basin
#

@noble herald Have you:

- Verified the game files on Steam?
- Made sure you have the latest update available?
- Restarted your computer?
#

these steps are in no particular order

noble herald
#

yes

#

try to start the game then 5sec later it just stop

blissful sequoia
#

have you checked the task manager for a running instance of foxhole and killed it?

#

I guess a computer restart would do that too...

elfin slate

@wheat latch
I already tried to verify the integrity of the files 4 times, I have reinstalled another 4, and it happens the same, when I try to play, in my steam it says that I am playing it and after 3 seconds it does not appear that I play it, it does not even open me or nothing happens

@elfin slate can you run dxdiag and let me know what cpu you have?

noble herald

@wheat latch
I'm not at home, but on the pc I use the most i3 7100

please run dxdiag and send me the saved output

@elfin slate ^

#

@noble herald can you do the same? dxdiag

elfin slate
#

@wheat latch I'll send you this PC, but it's not the same as the one I play Foxhole with

wheat latch
#

well the one where you're having the issue

#

are you having the same isssue on both?

PD: i play foxhole with this pc sometimes

this pc is what I use for the study, but sometimes I play with it and since the new update I have not been able to play in any

@elfin slate can you do this and send me the file?

@wheat latch You have news?

yes. we're working on a fix actually. we'll keep you updated.

No problem, the important thing is to solve it 😄 , PD: Stay with Foxhole, have a good future

iam still not working yet

#

@noble herald the foxhole game at your computer running ?

#

yup still cant

running

#

ok i already try that @wheat latch but still not work

@south spire @elfin slate @proud schoonerFusing#4163 @noble herald We just pushed out a fix for this. Please grab the new build and click verify files and then verify that the number matches this one

#

anyone else running into issues finding any servers?

elfin slate
#

@wheat latch ok, i try it

sharp halo
#

d/r looks like another update had dropped

#

nope, still cant find a server

wheat latch
#

@sharp halo are you clicking join war

sharp halo
#

it says the war is unavailable and to try the other one

#

then i click that to browse servers and it says cannot find a server make sure game is updated and restart steam

#

so i updated, restarted steam, restarted pc, still get the same message

elfin slate
sharp halo
#

also the game is impossible to close

wheat latch
#

Ok. We'll be looking into it @sharp halo sorry about that

sharp halo
#

thanks, i closed out of the game using the exit button, but steam still showed it running

#

so i closed steam, but the process is still running

wheat latch
#

@elfin slate that's unfortunate. Maybe try a reboot? We'll keep investigating

sharp halo
#

aight, ill let you know

elfin slate
#

I'm trying to reinstall it, if it does not work I give up

elfin slate
#

@wheat latch I've been thinking about this problem, could it be possible that the new update would carry a virus, and that the shit from the Eset would eliminate it? Because I have deleted files with viruses without warning, could that be possible?

If you are experiencing crashes today

We are worried that there may have been a bug introduced with the latest hotfix that causes some clients to crash regularly while playing the game. If you are experiencing such an issue please forward your crash dumps to foxhole@clapfootgames.com

You can find out about how to do that here:

https://steamcommunity.com/app/505460/discussions/1/1470840994975712881/

Also, it would help us a lot if you sent us your dxdiag. Here's the steps:

  1. Start menu
  2. Type dxdiag and click the command
  3. In the dxdiag window, click "Save All Information"
  4. Send us the saved .txt file

Is area of effect larger once u upgrade to a large garrison displayed on the map?

inner basin

rephrase that? I don't know what you are trying to ask @prisma kayak

prisma kayak
#

So I upgraded a TH after grinding the 300 into a large garrison

#

I expected the area of influence to grow and show on radar

vale aurora
#

If you mean the range that it powers defense's then no. The range for FOB's and TH's is always the same. Upgrading them doesn't change their range for powering defenses

prisma kayak
#

What about the radar of the town itself

#

So not thats its upgraded just less gsups

now*

I don't know about radar, but the gsups is a yes.

Why is game cutting up to 30% of vertical visibility while playing on 21:9 reoslution instead of adding black bars on the left and right? If you don't want to allow people with bigger resolution to have a bigger visibility. Please, at least, do not punish them

Is there a way to avoid cutting visibility except launching game in windowed mode?

valid schooner
#

@Cap'n Moses#8495 in all honesty you very well may have issues running the game. Especially if the other hardware in your rig is along the same lines. You could try it, and if it doesn't work right away like you'd hoped, you can request a refund through Steam in which they would refund you as long as you haven't owned or played it long.

inner basin
#

@sour lodge I have black bars appear when I play on my 1280x1024 monitor

#

Also that sentence didn't make sense to me. How else are the devs supposed to not allow those with rigged resolutions from getting super vision?

#

@fast fog You could DM KFC to see if the devs are open to such a thing. Right now, they don't have a chat API

sour lodge
#

Do not punish people with bigger vision by cropping their vertical vision up to 30%. When I launch 2560x1080 I get 1920x1080 but 1080 vision is cut up to 30%

#

It doesn't make black bars for me and just expands 1920 to 21:9 proprotions with removing some of vertical vision

inner basin
#

Mind sending a screenshot? A picture is a thousand words

@sour lodge

valid schooner
#

This has been an on going discussion since the game was released. Unfortunately there is not a whole lot that can be done. It is a core function of the game that would need a complete rework.

#

But by no means are they purposefully doing so or neglecting this.

sour lodge
#

You mean game bugs itself and doesn't add black bars but cuts off some % of vertical vision?

#

I will try to capture it in some way tommorow. Now I need to sleep

I'm simply stating that it is public knowledge.

@community yo. I have an interesting problem. I haven't been able to see operations or join them for a good while now. They just don't show up on the map. The create operation button is there but i can't see operations I create either. I have already reinstalled the game but the issue persists. Above is a screen shot of the map I get. I disabled structures and bases for intelligence reasons. Assistance would be appreciated.

vivid pulsar
#

@crude brook You haven't created an operation in that screenshot. The "Create Operation" option wouldn't be there. Be sure to click the "Location" crosshair to place a marker when you do create one.

crude brook
#

that's not the problem though

#

I can't see any operation

inner basin
#

Are you sure there are operations in your region?

vivid pulsar
#

^

#

Maybe cross regions and try there?

inner basin
#

Just ask in the region chat

#

When you create an operation, make sure you do specify a location. Does the issue still persist?

first off. there are operations, the screen shot is brand new.

#

and I created an operation but there is no change.

weird, try restarting Foxhole then

Wow, I am impressed with the GREAT job you have done, especially with the quick response to the problems, I can officially say that Clapfoot is in my top 1 of developers with Chucklefish for the love and care they give to the community.
When I tested the game for the first time I already recommended it, now, I will recommend it again because they deserve it

#

Ah, I take it this is about that ~34 MB patch that was recently put out?

no actually it has been going on for about a month

I was saying that Soy's problems probably got fixed because of the recent patch

or were you just continuing --

oh gotcha

your problem has been continuing for a month?

That's especially weird then

It might be a network issue, but I'm not sure.

I hope you restarted your computer at some point

I saw them the first day I logged on after that update that added them. I joined one as well. but ever since then they just aren't there. also yes i reboot daily.

inner basin
#

Weird problems call for weird measures

#

Tried re-installing Foxhole?

#

Maybe a missing file? who knows

crude brook
#

I already reinstalled. anything I should look for in regards to files?

inner basin
#

Well, you can't really pick apart a game's files because that would open up a whole 'nother can of worms

#

@hot oak this here lad can play Foxhole perfectly, but cannot see nor join any operations at all. Any tips from the other devs on what to do?

#

He has tried re-installing Foxhole, restarting his game, his pc.

#

@crude brook Reset your router? at this point it's really strange

crude brook
#

I see about that.

hot oak
#

@crude brook Probably already done but just in case:

  • Delete the foxhole folder in appdata
  • verify steam cache
#
  • Make sure you're on the latest version
#
  • Make sure you're looking at the region you're IN (so if you're trying to join from the lobby world using the tent that wont work)

willow sluice
#

so i am also one of the many people that get problem with joining the game

my internet connection is good, i know this because of speed tests and having connection to discord voice chat while trying to join the game.
my brother also plays the game and he can connect to the game just fine, we are both on the same wifi in the same house

when i can actually get into the game i experience no lag at all, the game is flawless except if i try to travel back to the home region then it just looses connection again and again, i can travel from map to map fine as well

the problem is simply connecting to the game, i often have to try multiple times, restart computer and do some of the steps that were listed in the pin message, none of them give a proper solution. the only method i have found for getting into the game is to try over and over again.

i have tried all the steps listed in the pinned message to try and fix the game and i have reinstalled, i also tried deleting the foxhole folder in appdata and have verified the integrity of the steam files multiple times
id like some help with my problem because something isnt working properly

dim salmon
#

@willow sluice Seems like it's not client's porblem

I'm not sure, but it can be just server issue. Try to refresh page and keep trying to connect

that's what i usually do to connect, i made this report because i have to refresh it everytime i try to get on, and i often have to keep refreshing it all from 5 - 25 minutes

so just download the game was ready to play then said i needed to download Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Runtime so i did i downloaded it then when i clicked play again said i needed to download it when i clicked yes it just said uninstall i uninstalled reinstalled tried again same thing so i waited for a hour thinking i just needed to wait some time nope still would just ask to uninstall do i need to enable something in my folders or is it just something weird

Why is the game asking me to install the Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 or DirectX runtime even though I've already them installed? 

There are a number of solutions that may help resolve this issue:

 

1) Ensure that you have the latest Windows updates and video card drivers installed. Make sure you ensure that you check that all windows updates have been installed. You can do this by clicking the start menu and going to Settings  > Update & Security  > Windows Update, and select Check for updates.

 

2) If you continue to experience problems, try uninstalling the C++ 2015 x86 and x64 runtimes from the add/remove programs utility in Windows and reinstall them from the official download - https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48145

Restart after installing.

 

Alternatively, you can also try installing the .exes found in:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Foxhole\_CommonRedist\vcredist\2015
 

3) Another potential problem is when certain windows system libraries (dlls) get corrupted. A common fix for this is the following:

​

i. Start Foxhole and uninstall the UE4 Prerequisites when the game prompts to install it

ii. Rename the xinput1_3.dll file in C:\Windows\System32 to xinput1_3.dll.BACKUP

iii. Rename the xinput1_3.dll file in C:\Windows\SysWOW64 to xinput1_3.dll.BACKUP

 

iv. Start Foxhole and install UE4 Prerequisites when prompted to do so

 

For additional details on this solution, please visit this thread from another UE4 game.


4) If you are still having trouble with installs, open command prompt as administrator and type sfc /scannow - This should help to fix some other issue that may be interfering with your install. After this, restart, and try the install again. ```
#

@reef kraken Those are some things you can try

proud dagger
#

@sly mortar is that pinned ?

#

Hmm, don't pin it, it's on the website, let me re-format it before you pin it

@proud dagger

#

Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 or DirectX runtime are missing

This error is likely based on the windows install and may be because something corrupted itself. There are some steps you can try though.

  1. Check if a PC restart helps
  2. Reverify your game files through steam (Properties >> Local Files)

If neither of these things help, there are even more things you can try.

  1. Ensure that you have the latest Windows updates and video card drivers installed. Make sure you ensure that you check that all windows updates have been installed. You can do this by clicking the start menu and going to Setting >> Update & Security >> Windows Update, and select Check for updates.
  2. If you continue to experience issues, try uninstalling the C++ 2015 x86 and x64 runtimes from the add/remove programs utility in Windows and reinstall them from the official download -- https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48145. One installed, restart your computer.
  3. Alternatively, you can try installing the .exes found in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Foxhole\_CommonRedist\vcredist\2015

Another potential problem is that certain Windows system libraries (dlls) were corrupted. A common fix for this is to do the following.

  1. Start foxhole and uninstall the UE4 Prerequisites when the game prompts to install it.
  2. Rename the xinput1_3.dll in C:\Windows\System32 to xinput1_3.dll.BACKUP
  3. Rename the xinput1_3.dll file in C:\Windows\SysWOW64 to xinput1_3.dll.BACKUP
  4. Start Foxhole and install the UE4 Prerequisites when prompted to do so.

For additional details on this solution, please check this thread from a different UE4 game. If this doesn't work, and you are still having trouble there is one last thing to try.

  1. Open Command Prompt as administrator and type sfc /scannow
  2. Restart your PC
  3. Attempt the install again

This may fix other issues which are possibly interfering with your install.

candid stream
#

so this might not be entirely the right area, but is there any way to get Foxhole running on Mint?

sly mortar
#

uhhhh

#

That's linux right

#

@candid stream This is the right place, and is that one of the linuxes with the windows compatibility layer?

candid stream
#

I'm not sure. Its one that was recommended by a website to be a version that operates similar to windows. I'm not really well versed in any of this, it's just the option that I had.

sly mortar
#

I'm going to tentitively say no, but I would see if you can get a reponse from @tranquil forge about it, because he will know more

#

I can't find anything which says mint has the compat layer, so I don't think it can run windows programs natively

candid stream
#

Alrighty. I'll do some research and digging when I get the chance tomorrow, as there are some options others have mentioned that I could give a go. Just got the game while it was on sale, haven't been able to play since that free stint a while back.

@trim knoll What is happening before you get the black screen?

yes

#

Alright

I start the game and then I just get a black screen, nothing happens

One second, let me find the file you need to access

#

Alright, you're going to want to navigate to a folder called C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Local\Foxhole\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor. Once there open a file called GameUserSettings

I went into options and changed it back to fullscreen, restarted the game and boots normally

thanks

Yep

Black Screen on Startup

If this is happening to you, there is currently one known solution, if that doesn't work, ask for more help.

  1. Go to C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Local\Foxhole\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor
  2. Open GameUserSettings.ini
  3. Set PreferredFullscreenMode=0 from whatever it is currently at
  4. Save the file
  5. Restart the game

@candid stream you probably won't have a lot of luck running foxhole in linux, but if yo'ure experimental it's always possible that one of the wrappers like wine or the Steam equivalent tool (forgot the name) would work

remote basin
#

So is this the right place to ask about dropshotting

dim salmon
#

@remote basin yes

remote basin
#

ok I'm just a bit concerned about how people can prone in front of you and unless you prone too they're neigh unhittable

sacred crown
#

It's a rare case, but something that could be misused.

#

It's good to let them know. Technical chat is more for issues with the software, game not running, visual errors, etc.

inner basin
#

@remote basin You can hit prone people while you are standing. You just have to aim your cursor just slightly behind them so that the reticle has a red line past them

i got a problem since the 0.16, i cant talk in game. I wouls like some help because i already posted like 5 time about this problem here. Here the list of thing i already try
redownload it, change mic, try whitout discord open, all my settings are good, run it as administrator. My mic is working on other game/app and on other computer as well but only in foxhole i cant talk and it is very frustrating for me since i only play to talk whit people in game.

remote basin
#

s'cuse me @inner basin but I tried that and dropshotting still makes you really hard to hit at a close range

sly mortar
#

@coral cosmos Does it work in other games which use Vivox?

#

Because if you've done all that I would think it might be a Vivox compatibility issue

coral cosmos
#

@sly mortar Which game except foxhole use vivox?

sly mortar
#

Biggest one currently is Fortnite, PUBG, Wargaming.net, Riot studios, ubisoft

#

@coral cosmos

#

Well thx icanari i will try to check that tomorrow but im on Windows 7 so idk if i have this option

sly mortar
#

Uh

#

You do

#

@coral cosmos All of those options are in windows 7 at the same place last I checked

#

The other thing I would check is that all of this fits with the default audio devices and that the game is not muted or anything

coral cosmos
#

@sly mortar I already Check the option in game and it is the sa me output and input as the 0.15 (when i was able to talk)

Troubleshooting Network-Related Issues

If you're receiving errors such as "No Home Region" or being disconnected, this usually points to a network-related issue. Due to the nature of network issues, there is never a one-size-fits-all approach to correcting them, however through standard troubleshooting steps, we can typically eliminate most issues. However, before you try these networking steps, make sure you are clicking Join the War not Browse Events

Steps to Try

  1. Restart your PC
  2. Verify the game files >> Open Steam >> Right Click Foxhole >> Properties >> Local Files >> Verify Integrity of Game Files
  3. Close any and all programs on your computer >> Open Steam >> Open Foxhole >> Attempt to get in game
  4. Disable all antivirus and firewall solutions; Follow #3
  5. Restart computer completely >> Close any programs that started automatically; Follow #1
  6. Restart internet Modem and/or Router; May be a good idea to perform #3 after
  7. Verify all ports used by Steam are open on modem/mouter firewall as well as any 3rd party firewall hardware: https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=8571-GLVN-8711 ; Follow #4
  8. On Wi-Fi? Try using a physical (ethernet) connection instead
  9. On Wi-Fi? Try moving physically closer to the modem/router providing the wireless internet
  10. On Ethernet? Reseat the ethernet cable on both sides; perform #4 as well as #3
  11. Verify all drivers are up to date. This includes graphics drivers; Perform #10
  12. Verify Windows is up to date
  13. Laptop? Make sure the laptop's power/battery setting is set to High Performance.
  14. Set Max Pings settings in the Steam client: Go to Steam -> Settings -> In Game. Go to the dropdown box labelled In-Game Server browser: Max pings/minute and set to 500. Perform #1

Note: This isn't a conclusive list. With the nature of troubleshooting, there could be any number of things going on.

Guys, after update I couldn't choose a resolution - the drop down menu I empty. If I choose full screen, then the game is just on the left hand top corner on my screen.. what's going on?

#

Like that..

sly mortar
#

@cloud arrow Alright, switch it to windowed full screen in game if you can, if you can’t I’ll get back in a couple of minutes with what to do

#

@cloud arrow If that doesn't want to work, you're going to want to navigate to C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Local\Foxhole\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor and open GameUserSettings.ini. Once you've done that you're going to want to set it so that the resolution is the size of your monitor. (Below is for a 1920x1080 monitor)

ResolutionSizeY=1080
LastUserConfirmedResolutionSizeX=1920
LastUserConfirmedResolutionSizeY=1080
PreferredFullscreenMode=0
AudioQualityLevel=0
FrameRateLimit=0.000000
DesiredScreenWidth=1920
DesiredScreenHeight=1080```

It's like the world is made up of scaffolding in that

That very well could be a hardware issue.

#

Im have laptop HP 355 G2 with AMD A8-6410 (4 cores) ~2.0GHz(turbo ~2.4GHz) and Discrete graphics card Radeon R5 M240.

valid schooner
#

How much memory does that card have?

#

I'd for sure make sure your Radeons video card drivers are up to date.

blissful sequoia
#

its 4G

#

looks like a driver problem if I ever saw one

#

oh nvm he said it was dedicated

#

its 1g - possibly 2g

valid schooner
#

Idk...might not even be that.

#

Foxhole asks for at least 1 gig

blissful sequoia
#

well hes not missing any textures, sure looks like the shaders are screwed up to me

valid schooner
#

Lol...far crazier things have happened

#

One guy legit couldn't even get into the game, updated all of his base drivers and he was good to go.

#

His card very well may not be up for the task.

#

At my last job I tried playing on sexy think pads and the game ran like shit.

#

Granted they shared memory, but this game requires more than some think.

blissful sequoia
#

true, but they also made a wide range of graphics settings, it's very accomodating

stray wagon
#

Cards have 2gb memory

vital elm
#

Antivirus Avast turned off, game is actual version

#

also News & Highlights is empty

#

Maybe I need to add some IPs to hosts file? Sort of this problem was in Dead ny Daylight and it resolved by adding IPs...

blissful sequoia
#

if you need manual hosts entries, it suggests your DNS server is broken or hacked, or your router is pointed to the wrong one

#

But you would have trouble with a lot of web pages if that were true

vital elm
#

I've got problem only with Foxhole now

#

other games work fine

blissful sequoia
#

You can always set your computer's DNS servers to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 (google's DNS servers) as a test if you want

vital elm
#

already

inner basin
#

@vital elm What is especially weird is that the Shard at the top left does not even show.

#

Can you play any other Steam games online?

vital elm
#

yep

#

CS and PUBG tried 5 mins ago

blissful sequoia
#

Is there nothing in that shard list in the top left?

#

Do you have a 3rd party firewall software?

inner basin
#

Try port forwarding the Steam required ports

#

Check the pinned messages and scroll down.

blissful sequoia
#

steam has ... required ports for forwarding? what?

#

its all outgoing connections, why would it need any forwarding?

vital elm
#

Derp the brown bag QM - empty list

#

and if I click on it - it doesn't respond

blissful sequoia
#

You're certain you are not on a beta branch?

vital elm
#

Avast only but it turned off

blissful sequoia
#

if you right click the game in your library and go to properties, if you have a beta tab you can switch it to none

vital elm
#

checking

inner basin
#

@blissful sequoia I think i worded it badly, but

blissful sequoia
#

if you don't have a beta tab, then that's definitely not the problem

inner basin
#

@vital elm Try verifying your files through Steam.

blissful sequoia
#

ah ok those are the destination ports, although thats probably only for very restrictive firewalls, you only see that stuff in corporations and universities and stuff

vital elm
#

no beta branch

inner basin
#

And what Derp said, make sure you are not on a beta branch of the game

#

Networks are very finicky and weird

#

I've had cases here where people were able to play the game after a day or two of waiting

#

Just really damn weird

blissful sequoia
#

I didn't know Avast made a firewall, thought it was just anti-virus, but you're sure you have the firewall for it turned off? just for testing...

vital elm
#

I'll try add ports

#

Avast - surely

blissful sequoia
#

I'm willing to bet someone has seen this exact problem before

inner basin
#

I get a lot of people with network related issues on here.

blissful sequoia
#

this one seems specific tho, no shard list

vital elm
#

I'm 100% sure somebody had this)

valid schooner
#

This has been a previous issue most definitely

blissful sequoia
#

well foxhole's gamepedia recommends the firewall ports and turning off beta branches, so ... I guess we're following suggestions so far

valid schooner
#

It shows it on Steam, the current recommendations.

inner basin
#

lmao I would never expect the wiki to be quoted that way

#

How'd you even find that article? No other article links to it @blissful sequoia

vital elm
#

added ports - no effects

blissful sequoia
#
Foxhole Wiki

While Foxhole is in development, it is possible that bugs will arise. Common technical problems and solutions will be posted here over time. This is supplemental to the pinned topic on Steam, "Common Technical Problems (& Solutions)".

#

they reference the steam ports as well

thorn rover
#

Never thought that'd be on the gamepedia

blissful sequoia
#

but my guess is ports are ... 1% of the network problems for people, seems very rare, I wouldn't even have bothered to list that

inner basin
#

Yeah, Sir put that up on the wiki a year or two ago

blissful sequoia
#

i mean its like ... port 80 and 443. If those were blocked you would probably think your internet is broken anyway

inner basin
#

At this point, anything helps IMO

blissful sequoia
#

@vital elm you verified your game files, right? In steam? It's possible a file is corrupt

#

These are really ... catch-all troubleshooting, lol. It's as bad as Microsoft's stuff that never fixes anything

vital elm
#

verified 3 times, reinstalled 2 times

inner basin
#

Restart your router potentially

blissful sequoia
#

Ok, cool... you might want to file this under bug reports then if nobody else recognizes this problem

valid schooner
#

Are you adding ports via your Router?

blissful sequoia
#

the developers are excellent at solving bugs on this game

vital elm
#

via Windows

blissful sequoia
#

A+

vital elm
#

trying now to do it in router

valid schooner
#

Awesome.

blissful sequoia
#

windows doesnt block any destination ports by default, as far as I know

#

only incoming stuff...

#

But perhaps Avast added rules, I suppose that's possible, I don't know how that firewall works

#

If a developer could tell us the DNS and possibly port to try to connect to it would be an easy test

vital elm
#

damn

#

wrong screenshot

#

This is when I click on Browse events

blissful sequoia
#

Oh that's interesting, so it can see the servers

#

You could try joining but I think that doesn't even work for the rest of us

vital elm
#

I've joined it - game loaded successfully

blissful sequoia
#

wow. ok so thats not the real game

#

thats just an event. the war is the real game. i would file a bug report on this if I were you, I bet they can help relatively quickly

#

the fact that one works and the other doesn't will probably make it easier to solve!

inner basin
#

wtf you can join the FCL map??

vital elm
#

yep

#

I dont even know what is it.)

blissful sequoia
#

it's a quick competitive map, not the long persistent war

#

foxhole competitive league, and its maybe just a test server for it

#

I think a firewall problem is plausible, but it would need testing, and only the devs know the tests to do

vital elm
#

where to write them?

#

email or another discord or sth else? Bad review in steam for attention?)

blissful sequoia
#

#bug-reports, just write up a short description, maybe post the 2 screenshots

vital elm
#

ok, thx

blissful sequoia
#

they usually want your dxdiags output, and I can't believe it really helps, but they might ask for that kind of specs dump

wheat latch
valid schooner
#

Out comes the big guns.

blissful sequoia
#

and is it a legit s3 IP address? hah dns hijacking wardenlol

vital elm
#

@wheat latch yes

wheat latch
#

are you seeing ip 54.231.32.106 ?

valid schooner
#

Its the server provider derpy

blissful sequoia
#

I would imagine the s3 ip address can change, they surely have many servers

wheat latch
#

@vital elm try adding this IP; 52.216.226.243 to your hosts file for s3.amazonaws.com

valid schooner
#

Yeah but if he can't reach at least that, then he def ain't getting any farther lol

vivid pulsar
#

If not, ensure that Foxhole has had all of its updates downloaded and installed.

vital elm
#

precisely

blissful sequoia
#

the s3 i see is 207.171.166.22, it's geographic

wheat latch
#

yeah it changes, but all of them should work. theoretically

blissful sequoia
#

but whatever IP he comes up with could be put through a reverse DNS I'm sure

vital elm
#

do I need to reboot after changing hosts?

blissful sequoia
#

you can do ipconfig /flushdns in command line

vital elm
#

done

blissful sequoia
#

your router may cache DNS entries, however...

vital elm
#

ok, going to turn it off for a while

valid schooner
#

Lol...

blissful sequoia
#

oh if you added a hosts entry, it's basically immediate, sometimes browsers cache DNS resolution, but otherwise it's immediate

#

and you don't need to mess with the router

vital elm
#

ok

valid schooner
#

Have we at least determined what it ISNT?

blissful sequoia
#

it's not his video card...probably
