@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
guys can anyone help me with a problem?? since the new update my entire game is moving like a slide show
Does anyone know if these issues also affected the .17 beta?
@meager bear Your framerate took a dive?
Did it run smooth before?
no im gramefrte is on 60 but everything is skipping a frame or something like mini teleports
yes it was perfect before update
Ah...that happens to me if I don't have fans cycled up to max...might be power consumption settings
Or network related
i just got disconnected
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
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
That sounds like network issues...are you sure that it isn't network problems?
That could help
Hmm.... interesting
its saying im on 15 fps lol
Now you have capable hardware, right?
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
Have you tried restarting your computer?
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)
crazy theory is right
???
we've exhausted every potential fix we can do without source code lol
well, you tried it and it worked @blissful sequoia ?
no, didn't try it, because it's a crazy theory, and it wont work lol
but you still cant join the game
id bet my life on it
burn bright, die young
Go run a bench mark test and try again space.
factorio is my benchmark
has anyone tried removing all their dev related stuff? any of the c++ redists?
A real one
you do it, report back
I really don’t want to do that derp
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
gtx 970
everyone i've seen complain is a geforce of some sort, but different cards
GTX 770
yep ive got a 670
but its clearly not everyone with nvidia. so far it seems like nvidia users with dev tools installed heh
I passed that on, they are working on it
The good news is a lot of us have the problem. It's bad if you're the only one
I can get update 0.16 and start the game
how do i make shirts|||| my friends list is in the way
first number needs to be big sized compared to the 2nd number
it should always be bigger, you just need it more bigerer
oh XD
have you tried setting your clock to GMT?
no...
tis a crazy theory, unless someone is measuring time using UTC instead of local time or something
i gotta work, but im curious
but then 23/24 people would have this problem
yeah, for real
try playing without discord
tried that
i noticed that kinda thing happened to me because voice chat would show when id loose connection
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
compatibility mode m8?
no no its ... its a foxhole bug
nah, gotta go make my paper now
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
aztecs did it...
Hah yea you're right, all those neurology wards named after Aztec cities...
🎓
Can I somehow hide the list of recent voice messages ?
@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?
Does it pay well?
@inner basin This list prevents me from making orders
@inner basin I'm only a temporary consultant
@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
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....
🤔 I love this discussion
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
So why only a portion of the playerbase is having issues? Would it be slightly hardware dependant?
It must be. Or it could be something else ¯_(ツ)_/¯
@blissful sequoia do you have windows subsystem for linux?
I have an GTX 950m. It's a laptop card, and thus is a little different, but not that much...
I am curently running a GTX 950, and am able to launch Foxhole without it crashing.
Hmm.....
Yeah I do space
I saw a 730, 670, 970. So it's not hardware architecture
I've also seen 1000 series in there too, but so far it's always nvidia
Derp, did you see my reddit post?
Is that your reddit post?
The timeout? Yes
the one i linked you?
I don’t know what you linked me, I didn’t see it
This one: https://www.reddit.com/r/foxholegame/comments/9j8z4h/lost_connection_to_server_please_try_again/
1 vote and 4 comments so far on Reddit
Yea I saw it
I’m not home to try, can one of you try it???
try what?
Look at the post..
Pretty sure. I get the crash and server timeout
issues... plural :p
Just do it
yeah i did
I’m so desperate
It appears to fix the starting error, and the alt-tab error? But it still cannot connect to server
😦
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
thats why I was asking about windows subsystem for linux, i also have that
Open up command line, cd to the war.exe and invoke war.exe —help
See if there are process argument documentation
@spark void what about you?
Or /help
windows subsystem for linux?
whaaa they cant be calling an external curl
meaning: did you install "Bash on Ubuntu on Windows on My Computer" ?
No I didn’t, space
ok 😦
i cant look at the moment
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
where curl
C:\Windows\System32\curl.exe
@blissful sequoia can you check both your machines?
I'll have to do it later. What would checking the second machine get us?
Versions of curl?
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
Yea but the command line args would be the same on both machines, right?
you may not even have curl on your working system
where curl
my theory is they have their own curl, but its using our system curl instead
im pretty sure i do and probably have the linux sub
id bet real money if i moved that amd graphics card into my broken machine it would magically work
I would venmo you
(renames curl.exe)
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
where curl
i dont even know what puts that there :p
like i said, probably git
i have way too much stuff
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
hoping for it
!!!!
no promises, but they are trying to address it
you all got docker or Hyper V installed?
I have hyper v
yah ive got hyper-v too
That confirms our theory guys!
could imagine that making trouble for the network
we may have a fix coming later today
awesome, ty
wonder if just nuking my curl executable would fix it
nah, think its deeper
why?
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)
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
jesus, this is above my level of knowledge now
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
oh I'll happily remove hyper-v, I've got the linux subsystem!
try it, see if it works
damn y'all boolin on this computer knowledge
you may still need the thread switch though
I'll have to try later
we have a potential fix coming guys
no need to mess with your setups if you don't want to
you can't keep a soldier from the war!
😄
Awesome @lofty belfry
is it the hyper-v network or curl doing it?
all I can say is that hyper-v was the final clue to the puzzle we needed
awww
we are dying to know
promise you will write it up some day, for the sake of the children
HyperV bites me in the ass again.
well ... was the nvidia thing just a red herring? do developers just hate owning AMD cards?
nvidia thing was a symptom yeah
sorry guys, I really can't go into detail. But we really appreciate all your patience and help with debugging this 😄
my working machine doesnt have curl in that directory, hyper-v, nor an nvidia card
I am both surprised and
If I remember right, I don't have hyper-v....
But isn't that virtualization on the CPU level?
you can't share
I'm not sure that it's enabled
They must grab the first networking device and perform a network request, instead of getting a working/valid network device
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
I don't think dear war leaders want us to know
We will still ❤ you though, we all do stupid shit...
I see patch is here.
That's not the correct patch
Oh?
There's another one we're working that will hopefully resolve the issue
I hope I'm able to finally tow the field artillery after I uninstall hyper-v
plot twist: uninstalling hyperv takes longer than updating foxhole
This next patch will fix quite a few issues including the disconnect that happens as an FMG gunner
fixing problems I didn't even know I had yet!
Well, hopefully I'll be shooting at you later tonight derp. Thanks y'all for the help and thanks devs for focusing on us.
good luck hitting
they fixed that bug too
I'll add your bag to the quilt.
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
This patch did not fix the ubiquitous crashes
oh :/
@inner basin The patch out there now doesn't contain the common crash. That's coming very soon.
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 😭😭😭
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
people watch this room
well im getting no resposnes
@desert river Just uninstalled HyperV.
Good luck!
i dont know what that word means idiet
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
@blissful sequoia
@hushed tinsel go to #bug-reports and format one like the other people are
Yeah I really don't want to uninstall it if I don't have to. Tried disabling the network but that wasn't enough
Well, I can tell you it worked for me lol.
@hushed tinsel try the usual steps of restarting the game and such things
problem with doing that : i will lose my spawn
@hushed tinsel if that does not work cry a bunch and throw a tantrum and see if that works
nah
space you dont need to be fucking rude
I was born an asshole, I can't help it
ok liberal
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
0.17.16.3 fixes a bunch of crashes and not being able to connect to home regions
Has it worked for you guys?
i never had the issue so eh
@tranquil forge I have not touched my system yet so I'll let you know. Should I remove the arguments?
@tranquil forge I just uninstalled HyperV on my PC and now I'm able to connect to the war
I'm in!
The recent hotfix didn't fix my issues.
There is another
Was there just a new update?
@spark void You got the patch that was just posted a few moments ago?
@tranquil forge works for me now
look, I'm a little green man again
@tranquil forge Your team is awesome, make sure they know that.
@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?
you didn't have enough patience, misterdad
Yup. That first hotfix was for another crash
lol @blissful sequoia
Damn, uninstalled HyperV too soon
What build is the latest then?
Thats what I have, it must have downloaded while I was in game
yeah, its a tiny game
Thanks @tranquil forge
np!
I'm glad to be able to play this weekend
I updated my Reddit post, I'll also mention a new hotfix addressed it
Yea thanks for the late night patch
Great thanks!
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
Are folks getting much more fatal errors as of late?
I played for hours after the recent update 👍
sorry to say but it dint fix it still cant start the game
why 0.17 is not working at my computer ?
coz u gay lol xd haha
i dont know is from steam issue or from the game i waiting the update like 10 or 5 hours and the update is done i click the foxhole game but is doesnt respons
@south spire Does Steam ever say that Foxhole is running?
it try to start for like 5 sec then it stop
@noble herald Try a reboot of your computer, and then come back
yeah @ripe sluice
you same like me @noble herald
yeah the foxhole is running and 5 second is doesnt respon @ripe sluice
And then it dies?
yeah
no
Hmm....
no crash massage
just running 5 second and the steam not lounching the game
and change to online
So, the game wont run but steam display you as 'Playing Foxhole', like that?
That's weird
Do you know how to use Event Viewer?
thats why i confused
Reboot method works for some issues
Reinstall?
that issue same like the devbranch
Well, I have no idea then
welp i must waiting new WC or update 0.18
for this issue make players rage and angry
so iam waiting until WC end ?
@noble herald same like you :/
yes
any fix?
i have the same problem i did reinstall , reboot and adding -nothreadtimeout to launch options but still game dont work 
The most annoying thing ever is when your own foxholes shoot you..... why is that going on ...
Crashing is fixed and now I'm getting the lost connection bug 👌
@noble herald @south spire Just to be clear, what are you running on?
@unkempt bramble have HyperV ?
For some reason quitting foxhole leaves the task running
Gotta go into task manager and end the game
Dunno if thats healthy or not
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?
@fallow steppe @elfin slate @south spire are you still having this issue? can you please try verifying your local files like this;
ok
@ripe sluice were you having any issues prior to update?
Oh, I've not had any issues, just curious
I was hunting around for a way to log the app, but no luck
the latest hotfix should fix that issue hopefully
I saw that it was listed, but "for some people" was also stated
@fallow steppe so to be clear, you click on play but nothing happens right
Oh also I have another bug where I can't hear others voice
All my voice chat things are on
The symbol pops up
Is the voice chat server still out?
It went out last night...
@young hare did you confirm your output device under voice settings in the options menu?
voice was working today.
the game dosent open
And how long have you waited?
For me, foxhole takes about 30sec before I get to the main menu
10-20s
Try waiting a little longer
i did but still
If anybody still needs help, you can always ping me
still cant start the game
@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
have you checked the task manager for a running instance of foxhole and killed it?
I guess a computer restart would do that too...
@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?
the are no foxhole in the task manager
@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
@wheat latch I'll send you this PC, but it's not the same as the one I play Foxhole with
g
@wheat latch
can you click "save" and send me the file?
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
thanks
@wheat latch You have news?
yes. we're working on a fix actually. we'll keep you updated.
will not be today unfortunately. 😐
No problem, the important thing is to solve it 😄 , PD: Stay with Foxhole, have a good future
Well, that's nice that a fix is in the works
same
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?
@wheat latch ok, i try it
@sharp halo are you clicking join war
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
same :/ the game no open
also the game is impossible to close
Ok. We'll be looking into it @sharp halo sorry about that
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
@elfin slate that's unfortunate. Maybe try a reboot? We'll keep investigating
aight, ill let you know
I'm trying to reinstall it, if it does not work I give up
@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?
It's 3am for him @south spire, so not sure you're gonna get a response
ok
@wheat latch still not working
@fallow steppe It's currently 3am for him, so I'm not sure you're going to get a response for a while
ok
@sharp halo Happens to me sometimes too, open Task Manager (CRTL+ALT+DELETE) and find Foxhole then End Process
just make sure task manager actually responds
My friend want play from China (he is just in long travel) but he have "no home region" bug, although in other steam games he had no problems. Does anybody know how to deal with it? I see a lot chinese players, so i think, it not the root of problem.
I think there was something similar to this issue a while ago, lemme look who knows how real quick
eh, most I could see is that you need a VPN and/or accelerators to connect to home
its another episode of 1:2 wardens to collies
still no fix for game? 😦
@fallow steppe Your game is still crashing?
the game not opening
after i het play steam say foxhole running after 5s its back to online
Game still unplayable for some people... any solution.? game not starting at all...
@eager flame Verify your game files on Steam
3167391 Still does not respond to the launch 😭
did that already
@wicked rampart When I try to play it does not open any kind of process, only steam says I'm playing it and then Pup! closes
@terse flumeRikWr
We all try that, but nothing happens
@wicked rampart I was trying to end the process, it returned an "access denied" error when i tried to end war.exe
@vocal yew we are the same
Yes, also check the integrity of the files but nothing
@sharp halo Make sure to run Task Manager as Administrator
I'm not really tech savy just using google to my advantage lol
@elfin slate @vocal yew Have you updated your video card drivers?
can we have any update to what is going on? no way to connect to game...
@eager flame Game not opening when you try to play? and it says its running even though it isn't?
All my drivers are updated, something happened that several of the players do not allow us to play it
me to
I just updated windows and video drivers - didnt help
We apologize for this issue. We're working on another fix. We'll let you know when we have something to test. Thanks.
@wheat latch There is no need to apologize, they are things that happen in the development, I hope they can solve it, regardless of the time
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:
- Start menu
- Type dxdiag and click the command
- In the dxdiag window, click "Save All Information"
- Send us the saved .txt file
So uhh, game wouldn't start after the lastest patch. Tried to install the game but no use, hope you guys could repair this later on..
Is area of effect larger once u upgrade to a large garrison displayed on the map?
rephrase that? I don't know what you are trying to ask @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
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
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.
rgr thnx
for those the game dont open try
- Go to the BETAS tab on the Foxhole Steam Properties window and select "test1 -".
- Select the LOCAL FILES tab and click "Verify Integrity of game files...".
its worked for me
@terse flume Still having problems?
Didn't check, left my home until Saturday
Gotcha, keep in touch so we can try to keep you going.
@noble herald @fallow steppe wtf is test1?? You're not gonna be able to connect because that's not a stable build
so uuh u have a problem idk if it me or Foxhole but when i start the game up it launches nothing happens and then it shut down i already checked the files and re-installed the game but idk what to do from here can somebody help me?
no i start the game it
it says on steam running
after 2 sec it just closes without a crash report....
ye me2 start the game 5 sec it stop
<@&213133977681264640> gelp us
I think you mean <@&282920218462912512>
the know about it
it is a foxhole thing....
eh
and i think game is foxhole?
are you trying to connect to a server called test1?
test1 u can start the game
?
are you crashing after 5 seconds?
check the first pin
for those the game dont open try
1) Go to the BETAS tab on the Foxhole Steam Properties window and select "test1 -".
2) Select the LOCAL FILES tab and click "Verify Integrity of game files...".
its worked for me
worked for me. I can start the game now. Bot cannot join to servers
@hot oak can you check this?
That's not going to be a proper fix
Don't worry though, we're going to be working on it today to get these connection/crash issues fixed
Send us your crash dump and your dxdiag to foxhole@clapfootgames.com
Updated the pins
@vocal yew ya i have the problem to
anyone know if accessing things from a truck not working is a known bug?
constantly can't access TH's or close gates from a truck
pretty annoying, can't even pull things from TH with a truck
seems to be solved by getting in the passenger seat and then switching to driver
Where do I report bugs?
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?
Hey, any Devs around?
Is there any way to monitor in-game chat, like via an API or chat logs?
I want to make a logi management tool, but I want people to use chat to log logi jobs
Hello. I have a question about minimum system req. I have 512 vram video card. Can i play or should i give up?
ask again
@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.
@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
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
I will send after watching a movie
It is 22:35 here. I' ve got some problems with capturing 21:9 window so I will try tommorow. Good night
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.
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.
k
finaly. i can lauch the game now. thx to the devs. there is a patch
@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.
@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.
Are you sure there are operations in your region?
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?
yee
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.
Weird problems call for weird measures
Tried re-installing Foxhole?
Maybe a missing file? who knows
I already reinstalled. anything I should look for in regards to files?
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
I see about that.
@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)
ok i will try running foxhole again
ok it works
Thank you for correcting the login error. We are waiting for compensation;)
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
@willow sluice Seems like it's not client's porblem
any idea how to fix it?
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
it was just annoying me, which is why i wanted to know if i could fix it
hey uhm
<@&282920218462912512> Hello uhm i was ingame like 5 mins ago and then the server lagged and i got a message telling me that i had been disconnected from the voice chat servers due to lost connections and now i cant hear nor speak to people. I have tried rebooting the game several times, turning vc on and off serveral times even tried rebooting steam as a whole it has not worked.
Did you Verify the Integrity of the Cache through steam options?
lol
@mystic star do me a favor an make a mod mail. im working on collecting data for the devs on this
oh nvm i misread
sorry
@real pumice restart Foxhole, voice errors have been quite rampant with this new VIVOX voice engine unfortunately
@inner basin Thx, Ill try that now
@trail junco Do the top pin, not sure if they have a fix for it out yet
Restart computer
@trail junco ^
ok
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
<@&282920218462912512> @proud schooner u folks got anything about this?
@reef kraken have u restarted your PC just to try it out ?
why not brb
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
@sly mortar is that pinned ?
Hmm, don't pin it, it's on the website, let me re-format it before you pin it
Thank you I will do this
Alright
Going to add the general restart PC, verify files, etc
Thanks
@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.
- Check if a PC restart helps
- Reverify your game files through steam (Properties >> Local Files)
If neither of these things help, there are even more things you can try.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Start foxhole and uninstall the UE4 Prerequisites when the game prompts to install it.
- Rename the
xinput1_3.dllinC:\Windows\System32toxinput1_3.dll.BACKUP - Rename the
xinput1_3.dllfile inC:\Windows\SysWOW64toxinput1_3.dll.BACKUP - 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.
- Open Command Prompt as administrator and type
sfc /scannow - Restart your PC
- Attempt the install again
This may fix other issues which are possibly interfering with your install.
There
so this might not be entirely the right area, but is there any way to get Foxhole running on Mint?
uhhhh
That's linux right
@candid stream This is the right place, and is that one of the linuxes with the windows compatibility layer?
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.
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
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.
is anyone else getting a black screen since the latest update?
@trim knoll What is happening before you get the black screen?
Is it just on start up?
yes
Alright
I start the game and then I just get a black screen, nothing happens
Have to close it via task manager
One second, let me find the file you need to access
ok
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
You should see something along the lines of ```

As the bug is caused (I believe) by being in fullscreen mode, and this will fix that
it already is 😦
changed it to 0, works now
That should be windowed fullscreen correct?
yes
I see
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.
- Go to
C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Local\Foxhole\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor - Open
GameUserSettings.ini - Set
PreferredFullscreenMode=0from whatever it is currently at - Save the file
- Restart the game
@proud dagger Another bug FAQ pin
@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
So is this the right place to ask about dropshotting
@remote basin yes
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
@dim salmon , @remote basin . Note this down in #bug-reports and/or #game-feedback-archive.
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.
@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
@left dagger Check the pinned messages of this channel buddy
@hot oak mind helping this gent?
@left dagger scroll down the pinned messages, there is a message with a bunch of useful information on network-related issues
Ok
@inner basin Thanks
can I travel from/to FishermanRow/??
@vocal yew This channel is for technical issues with the game. If you have any further questions you can ask them on #386353469776330762 for better visibility
Hey man, I actually do not know precisely what your problem is
What error message are you getting?
@left dagger
Failed to find servers please restart steam and also verify that you have latest version of the game
That error
@left dagger Mate, we don't use the server browser anymore. Click on Join the War instead of Browse Servers
Ty
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.
s'cuse me @inner basin but I tried that and dropshotting still makes you really hard to hit at a close range
@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
@sly mortar Which game except foxhole use vivox?
Biggest one currently is Fortnite, PUBG, Wargaming.net, Riot studios, ubisoft
@coral cosmos
League uses it
R6
WoT
Hmm
Try doing everything on this (https://www.vivox.com/gamers/help/21) page
Well thx icanari i will try to check that tomorrow but im on Windows 7 so idk if i have this option
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
@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)
foxhole vouce chat error 6-0 this error shows up on the game of my friend and he cant use his mic anyone have any idea what is this?
What is he doing when the error occurs
the game goes on like nothing happened
and when he tries to use his mic the little icon on his head doesnt show up
already tried it
restarting his computer?
Suure
oh...
im the friend, ill try that
that's my friend
The new voice engine REALLY fucked up some stuff
yeah, the pc is on since i installed the game
nope, voice chat error 6-0 again
and the mic icon still doesnt appear in the top of my head
Alright, could you go to Settings > Voice, and make sure that all looks like this (https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/374272127953666048/497597407517736960/unknown.png) with the input/output devices as your system defaults
k
didn't work
i tried restarting again, and doing that as well (https://www.vivox.com/gamers/help/21)
none of those seem to make it work ingame
What country are you in?

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
- Restart your PC
- Verify the game files >> Open Steam >> Right Click Foxhole >> Properties >> Local Files >> Verify Integrity of Game Files
- Close any and all programs on your computer >> Open Steam >> Open Foxhole >> Attempt to get in game
- Disable all antivirus and firewall solutions; Follow #3
- Restart computer completely >> Close any programs that started automatically; Follow #1
- Restart internet Modem and/or Router; May be a good idea to perform #3 after
- 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
- On Wi-Fi? Try using a physical (ethernet) connection instead
- On Wi-Fi? Try moving physically closer to the modem/router providing the wireless internet
- On Ethernet? Reseat the ethernet cable on both sides; perform #4 as well as #3
- Verify all drivers are up to date. This includes graphics drivers; Perform #10
- Verify Windows is up to date
- Laptop? Make sure the laptop's power/battery setting is set to High Performance.
- 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.

@sly mortar yep
@neat geyser boa noite amigo, por favor me fale o que está acontecendo no privado!
@cosmic elk Thank you

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..
@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```
The game fixed itself today, but thanks! 👌
Hi guys !!! Processor-I7 videocard 1080 8 system memory - 18 FPS what a f... Please help !!!
Dear developers, please change the pivot rotation of the cars. Now they behave unnaturally, very spoil the atmosphere.
Просто ужасные тормоза, повис весь компьютер. Такое чувство, будто фоксхол майнит биткоини. Дота и другие игры на стиме работают стабильно
<@&282920218462912512> This guy needs help!
Translation: "Freakin bad lags. Other games goes okay"
It's like the world is made up of scaffolding in that
That very well could be a hardware issue.

Каковы технические характеристики вашего компьютера? Вы обновили свои видеодрайверы или общие драйверы компьютера?
@stray wagon
Im have laptop HP 355 G2 with AMD A8-6410 (4 cores) ~2.0GHz(turbo ~2.4GHz) and Discrete graphics card Radeon R5 M240.
DxDiag
graphics card
How much memory does that card have?
I'd for sure make sure your Radeons video card drivers are up to date.
its 4G
looks like a driver problem if I ever saw one
oh nvm he said it was dedicated
its 1g - possibly 2g
well hes not missing any textures, sure looks like the shaders are screwed up to me
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.
true, but they also made a wide range of graphics settings, it's very accomodating
Cards have 2gb memory
Hello guys! I've got this problem:
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...
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
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
already
@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?
Is there nothing in that shard list in the top left?
Do you have a 3rd party firewall software?
Try port forwarding the Steam required ports
Check the pinned messages and scroll down.
steam has ... required ports for forwarding? what?
its all outgoing connections, why would it need any forwarding?
You're certain you are not on a beta branch?
Avast only but it turned off
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
checking
@blissful sequoia I think i worded it badly, but
if you don't have a beta tab, then that's definitely not the problem
Required Ports for Steam https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=8571-GLVN-8711
Article "Required Ports for Steam"
@vital elm Try verifying your files through Steam.
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
no beta branch
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
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...
I'm willing to bet someone has seen this exact problem before
I get a lot of people with network related issues on here.
this one seems specific tho, no shard list
I'm 100% sure somebody had this)
This has been a previous issue most definitely
well foxhole's gamepedia recommends the firewall ports and turning off beta branches, so ... I guess we're following suggestions so far
It shows it on Steam, the current recommendations.
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
added ports - no effects
they reference the steam ports as well
Never thought that'd be on the gamepedia
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
Yeah, Sir put that up on the wiki a year or two ago
i mean its like ... port 80 and 443. If those were blocked you would probably think your internet is broken anyway
At this point, anything helps IMO
@vital elm you verified your game files, right? In steam? It's possible a file is corrupt
Article "Verify Integrity of Game Files"
These are really ... catch-all troubleshooting, lol. It's as bad as Microsoft's stuff that never fixes anything
verified 3 times, reinstalled 2 times
Restart your router potentially
Ok, cool... you might want to file this under bug reports then if nobody else recognizes this problem
Are you adding ports via your Router?
the developers are excellent at solving bugs on this game
via Windows
A+
trying now to do it in router
Awesome.
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
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
I've joined it - game loaded successfully
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!
wtf you can join the FCL map??
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
where to write them?
email or another discord or sth else? Bad review in steam for attention?)
#bug-reports, just write up a short description, maybe post the 2 screenshots
ok, thx
they usually want your dxdiags output, and I can't believe it really helps, but they might ask for that kind of specs dump
@vital elm are you able to ping s3.amazonaws.com ?
Out comes the big guns.
and is it a legit s3 IP address? hah dns hijacking 
@wheat latch yes
are you seeing ip 54.231.32.106 ?
Its the server provider derpy
I would imagine the s3 ip address can change, they surely have many servers
@vital elm try adding this IP; 52.216.226.243 to your hosts file for s3.amazonaws.com
Yeah but if he can't reach at least that, then he def ain't getting any farther lol
@vital elm Is your current build the same as this? (Bottom left)
If not, ensure that Foxhole has had all of its updates downloaded and installed.
precisely
the s3 i see is 207.171.166.22, it's geographic
yeah it changes, but all of them should work. theoretically
but whatever IP he comes up with could be put through a reverse DNS I'm sure
do I need to reboot after changing hosts?
you can do ipconfig /flushdns in command line
done
your router may cache DNS entries, however...
ok, going to turn it off for a while
Lol...
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
ok
Have we at least determined what it ISNT?
it's not his video card...probably
