Try restarting your PC
ive been playing for like 18 hours or so
i alt f4ed earlier to call it a day then started it up again. opted to use watch the live broadcast within game and it closed the game. Stopped watching and opened up the game and had this ever since
Yeah, try restarting your PC
@violet olive Steam is stupid sometimes
@sly mortar it did not work
Alright
Fixing Voice Chat
- Close Steam
- Go to
C:\Program Files(x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Foxhole\War\Plugins\VivoxCoreUE4Plugin\Source\ThirdParty\VivoxCoreLibrary - Reopen Steam, verify the game files by going to Steam Library >> Right Click Foxhole >> Properties >> Local Files >> Verify Integrity of Game Files
- Restart your PC
Try that
What qualifies as voice chat being "broken"
Is it working?
Well yeah
Then it's not broken
lmao okay
Is it working well?
everytime i close the game it reports a virus blocked. I have to reset my pc each time i wish to play it again?
Hmm, what does the message say?
Same error as before?
yeah =/ maybe just add an exception?
Yeah
hmm cant seem to find the option
Which antivirus?
just avast
Dunno then, I run Norton
ill reset pc again. Should i report this recurring issue somewhere?
I don't think it's the game, probably steam / avast
reset pc and still denying
seems to be an avast issue
disable for 10 mins
i dunno
i cant reliably recreate
Avast is strange
help....Foxhole just opens in black screen then shows this
@community I accidently changed the screen resolution to something too high, and now have no way to change it back. Is there a way to reset to default settings?
One second please
Fixing Resolution Settings if the Game cannot be opened
Go to
C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Local\Foxhole\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor\GameUserSettings
Open GameUserSettings with notepad, and change the top 10 lines to look like this, however, if you have a smaller monitor, change the resolution to your monitor's size.
ResolutionSizeX=1920
ResolutionSizeY=1080
LastUserConfirmedResolutionSizeX=1920
LastUserConfirmedResolutionSizeY=1080
PreferredFullscreenMode=0
AudioQualityLevel=0
FrameRateLimit=0.000000
DesiredScreenWidth=1920
DesiredScreenHeight=1080```
@warm matrix
awesome thanks I'll try that!

@sly mortar I don't have an AppData folder in my user folder...
Search %appdata%
rgr that
It's a hidden file
There no local folder in the AppData folder...
When you search that it puts you in the Roaming folder
You need to go back one level of folder into the AppData folder
So fellas I just got the game and hit play, hit join war, went to colonals, and my montior shut its self off and would not come back on? the only soultion is to restart my pc. which i have done 2 times now?
Uh
help would be greatly appreciated
Your monitor?
ikr?
Alright, hmm, what graphics card do you have?
1GB XFX Radeon HD 7770
Alright, what input type goes from it to the monitor?
hdmi
@gritty token i put it on fullscreen rather then windowed fullscreen aand it good
Hi! I'm not getting any sound from the game whatsoever, and there doesn't appear to be any audio options at all in the game's menus, aside from the ones for voice communication, which also doesn't work. Help?
So far I've restarted the game, restarted steam, rebooted, reinstalled the game, and done the first three steps again with no change
@mighty yacht check if your main audio device is set as the default one
Is the game currently working? I loaded it for the first time today and it had two play options (join war and missions or something)
The join war was down and when I checked to find lobbies there was none
?
Odd, verify the game files and restart steam
Ok
@willow sandal
There always something to join,
If the war is over you can join an skirmish.
If the servers are really down everyone will be notified in discord.
If you still got connection problems check that the game has access in thr firewall
@willow sandal

I have restarted steam and verified files
and still nothing
failed to find servers
My Avast put War-Win64-Shipping.exe to quarantine. Virus name is IDP.ALEXA.51. Anyone got same issue? I have to repair game because cannot remove it from quarantine...
I got it after exit game
@tawdry thistle Disable your antivirus, move the .exe back to its place and mark it not to be quarantined.
@sinful pewter it has access through the firewall
i cannot see the operations on maps what should i do ?
@willow sandal Instead of using the server browser, please click "Join The War"
@glad lion It might mean there simply aren't any on that map, try making one
@tawdry thistle Remove it from quarantine, verify your files on steam, and then restart your PC. The latest version of Avast seems to be getting pissy with Foxhole
i tried but still nothing
Don't know then, try restarting the game
I need some help
I've been trying to fix this for a few weeks
Processor - Intel i5-6400 2.70GHz 4 cores
Ram - 16GB
Hard Drive - 1TB
Graphics Card - GeForce GTX 1060 6GB
OS - Win10
<@&521124241395941396>
@stray zenith Have you updated your graphics drivers?
Yes, it made it worse, so I tried getting older ones and I tried a bunch of them
One had it working for about 30 minute bursts, but I tried others because I wasn't satisfied
Have you tried verifying your game files?
do you have a back up reset you pc
I've reinstalled the game a couple times
Try reverifying
Will do
It works slightly differently than reinstalling
Suuure
i lookt it up and you will have to remove your nividia drivers and reinstall them
but you have to remove your nividia drivers via the nividia tool
- The Nvidia tool really doesn't like removing drivers
- That won't help
NO
Because you'll completely fuck your drivers over
Yeah that's what I was thinking
Next step of action?
Different game
that is what i found
same problem
i'ts the same error code
the error comes from the engine
Alright, it wasn't using the Nvidia tool to uninstall
It was using a 3rd party program which has a history of wiping computers
I'm gonna try to find the driver that at least partially worked
Alright
I would like to completely fix this though
If you want to go through the windows settings and completely remove your graphics drivers, you can, but I don't recommend it
Would that help do you think?
Maybe?
I don't think there is much bad stuff that can happen if you uninstall it through windows settings, unless your CPU doesn't have an internal graphics processor
if you remove your drivers in the correct way noting will go wrong
hahahaha
Trying other drivers to try and find that one again
Here goes nothing, let's see if this is the one
Alright, if I see you back in about 10 minutes I'll assume it worked
It didn't work
No, new ones
Ah
So I should uninstall them using Windows?
Your choice, but it can't go too badly
So then after that I should get the latest drivers or?
Try them
just reset you pc completly
sigh
get your stuff to a extern
@stray zenith
If you will use older grapics tag the techie's I think that we all would love to know how to deal with directx crashes.
Anyway as I have the same thing, what I do to play foxhole I put all the settings on the possible lowest
Gtx 650 1gb lol
How do you even turn the game on lmao @sinful pewter
I can run the game on a 6-7 year old intel integrated GPU
Ye, it dosen't ran out of ram as far as I know
DirectX crashes or there is a memleak
Delete then restart and try?
Yeah
Why don't I just delete the vision ones and the graphics one?
Which Gpu you got?
And windows
Your choice. I would only delete NVIDIA Graphics Driver 417.22 because that is the only one which should be having a big effect on it
GeForce GTX 1060 6bg Win10 @sinful pewter
Windows 10 right?
he just said it
10
@stray zenith , other games crash for you?
Only War Thunder, everything else works fine
My absurdly huge colony on Rimworld runs totally fine
Rimworld works great for me to
RimWorld really only uses CPU
What is happening to you is the same with me, our DirectX sometimes can't handle sort of code and so it stops working
(Thats what I think
)
Do you get the same error message?
Oh, that's something. Check the pin with the title "Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 or DirectX runtime are missing"
It might not work perfectly, but it also might work
If it dosen't help,
I would try to get rid completely from DirectX and let steam install Foxhole's needed version.
Plus that error might be just a bug within the engine I dunno
The reason that pin exists is because a good portion of the time steam installs the wrong C++ or DirectX version
And it causes something very similar to this bug
Well I need to praise the holy pins
- 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
Okay so I'm going to try this
At the moment, I am trying to launch the game trough Steam, but it takes a while to load and then in TaskMananger it is listed as not responding
@proud smelt Try verifying your files
Verifying probably would have done the same thing, but eh, it worked
Nope, didnt work so reinstalled
So i just got the game
and it opens and is just a black screen
and TM says not responding
Disregard, worked on relaunch
hmmmm
@sly mortar Are you online?
DMs
@ionic sundial
- Options-Voice-Reconnect
- Options-Voice-Refresh
- Relaunch client
pick one
3rd one if 1 or 2 doesn't works
@ionic sundial Did those things work?
Spamming reconnect and refresh doesn't, but I have yet to try spamming client relaunch
No
Fixing Voice Chat
- Close Steam
- Go to
C:\Program Files(x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Foxhole\War\Plugins\VivoxCoreUE4Plugin\Source\ThirdParty - Delete
VivoxCoreLibrary - Reopen Steam, verify the game files by going to Steam Library >> Right Click Foxhole >> Properties >> Local Files >> Verify Integrity of Game Files
- Restart your PC
Ok I'll give it try
ive tried quite a few times to launch my game, but it only launched once without sound
keeps having fatal errors again
also because i was asked last time im on a laptop with win 10
@west knoll What errors? There are many possible ones
sorry for not responding earlier but it just says fatal error
Hmm, try verifying your steam files
ive done that before
Alright, try updating your graphics drivers
@stray zenith Did removing C++ redistributable's fix the problem
?
It did not.
Welp damm you DirectX crashes
Why you can't launch it completely?
I just deal on playing on the lowest resolution and lowest graphic but that allowed me to enjoy foxhole 
hi, i am having trouble with voice
Ye?
as soon as the game connect to "local voice channel" i loose all other sounds from my headphone
the few seconds before the game conntects to "local voice channel" i still can hear everything
voice input device: is my mircophone
Voice output device: headset
If you are having issues with Vivox, try to delete the following folder, which contains two vivox .dll's.
Close Steam
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Foxhole\War\Plugins\VivoxCoreUE4Plugin\Source\ThirdParty\VivoxCoreLibrary
Then reopen steam, and verify the steam cache by going to your steam library > right click Foxhole > Properties > Local > Verify Steam Cache Integrity
====
took it from the pin
yes, my normal speakers
try disconnecting / disabling --> the speakers and then try playing the game might work
ok let me try
not working
I hear the startup music in the main screen
but as soon as i start game and connect to local voice all sounds are gone
Can you list what you already did try?
- remove Vivox file
- select different output deivces
- Disable other output devices and select headset as output device
small note: when i push "reconnect" in the ingame voice options, i do have sounds for a few seconds
Try to verify Foxhole thought steam
after few hrs trying fix voice chat error
Anything that might be conflicting with your internet?
Fuck Vivox.
We use good boy language here
Again, fuck Vivox and everything it has changed
@vagrant pagoda Try uninstalling the game and installing afterwards restart your computer
ok
Make sure sound drivers are updated
I need help with a technical issue
Dunno whats going on with the game but it says "Cannot download shard info, restart steam and computer blah" and all that jack
Quite obviously yes
also reinstalled the game, checked forwarded ports
also reinstalled all game related VC++
Alright, when opening the join war menu, go to the screen before "Join the War" and make sure the shard in the top left is set to "Live"
it is
already checked
Do it again
Else try to exit steam and start it with administrator privileges
You generally shouldnt be running steam with administrator priviledges anyways
and the game is not installed on main drive so admin priviledges shouldnt be a problem
Steam runs better with admin perms
And it fixes many problems
@deep lark Other than that, go through the steps on the pinned message titled "Troubleshooting Network-Related Issues"
Never knew that, anyhow Foxhole won't steal your photos
Its not foxhole that steals anything
Leaving ports open isn't as risky as it seems, unless you literally have no antivirus or firewall
If you run steam on admin priviledges, anyone who hacks a server or anything like that can literally come trough the open port
Richard, reinstall and restart windows didnt help
Icanari, Firewall is all about ports
yeah, which is why you set it up to not allow incoming bullshit on steam ports unless you know them

Hmm, is the game on a beta version?
Are you in an area that would region lock you / are you using a VPN
im in finland EU and no VPN
Alright, then the same thing I do
@vagrant pagoda Make sure your sound drivers are updated
@deep lark Try the next message

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.

So I have this weird thing where if I hold down my mic button I don't get the mic on my character anymore and I can't transmit audio, it worked before and not sure what change to break it. Any ideas?
Go to voice settings, make sure everything is correct @golden harness
And click "refresh devices"
Refreshed and reconnected and no dice :/ I think my mic might be dead and not the game as I noticed for a split second the mic icon did appear on my guy but it dissappeared right after
Alright, it could just be really low
I just went into my audio settings and increased transmit volume and it worked! Thx man
๐
I just cant get this to work for the life of mine
Cant download shard info and cannot find servers and ive done everything
@proud schooner Alright, on to you now. Stop turting and be useful
he's a network engineer
kinda
went up as far as opening the ports directly from my modem settings and forwarding them both UDP and TDP out and in, no joke
how many skirmish servers do you see?
Not in-game right now
Thats suprising, even Bridged Mode isnt working if i enable it on my modem
that usually solves routing problems
@proud schooner mind giving me a helping hand? For some reason Foxhole isnt displaying ANY servers at all, even though other games work fine
Honestly just start going down the line of the list
Nothing I say is going to be any different than that list considering I practically made the list.
Anything to take note for if i run this on bridged mode atm?
Then it means ports arent the problem, its a software issue for me?
either firewall or something?
I have a public IP adress ATM since i have my modem set on bridged mode, so is it dangerous to disable firewall?
I mean
Do you know what bridged mode does?
And really disabling firewall is a troubleshooting step, not a solution step
If you disable it and it corrects it, then you know the firewall is the issue
Doesnt bridged mode just disable NAT and UPNP and bypass modem?
Its much more dangerous that way since Modem just lets connection directly trough?
i have a 350/50 connection anyways so i should be using bridged mode for higher speeds
NAT routing usually slows it down
From what i know if i have NAT enabled on my connection it routes my connection trough the modem and ports in a private network with a personal IP in my own network, but in bridged mode, it just pass trough?
@proud schooner
hello
i need help on how to remove the app bar when playing it looks something likes this:
<@&521124241395941396>
@latent vault Relaunch Windows Explorer through Task Manager
thank you
You can also right click on the foxhole application on the bar, and then click "war"
it does not open
@obsidian oriole Probably something blocking off your internet. Check your firewall and antivirus settings.
Alright, anyone from above still having issues?
Hello i have a Voice Chat Error. When ein press "T" [8] 6-0 And when i Reconnect the Voice: [2] 2-5031.
What operating system do you have?
Hi, I got a problem with foxhole, I can' join the war or play any events. It says ''the persistent war is currently unavailable please join an event.'' when I join an event, no events show up. It also says ''failed to download shard info - please try refreshing if the issue persists, visit our page: support button'' I would love to get some help.
I also tried re-downloading the game, but I still got the same problem
Okay, so something is most likely blocking the game.
Do you have an anti-virus? Also what operating system
yeah
McAfee
:/
ikr
it was on my pc when i bought it
and i think its out of date too
let me check
yep my subscribtion expired
ok im gonna uninstall
ok its gone
let me check if it works
nope still does not work
also are you in a dorm?
nope
firewall says ''This app has already been blocked or unblocked for a different network type.
i allowed all
tried with firewall turned off fully
moment of truth
nope
hmm
does it pop up that message still?
Also im asking just because it may be the issue, are you IT savvy or who ever set up the internet in your house, are they IT savvy?
nope
and if you mean the ''The persistent war is currently unavailable'' message then yes
do you think that formatting the entire pc would help?
No lol do not
Not worth it yet
Okay so did you allow any ports for the game to pass through the windows defender?

@sharp crest
thank you
just got randomly disconnected from a server, anyone else having this problems?
@terse flume relog and let us know if it happens again
Do you know what caused it by any chance ? D:
Trying to figure out what causes that bug
for a second i thought i got banned because some guy reported me for saying the n word in chat to one of my friends
i remember when you could call a guy an n word and he would call you one right back in foxhole, but now you get banned for making the smallest joke or having any iota of fun
I'm getting the error "failed to download shard info" and can't join the persistent war. Fix?
@rugged radish Try veryifying the install files, restarting your PC, and if that doesn't work ping the Tech Wizards role
Got it thanks.
@inner basin what did I do
?
@ember chasm Could be a connection issue, disable your antivirus and firewall then try again.
I had an issue right before this WC started (I posted about it above) where I could enter the home island fine, but got "Connection to the server has been interrupted" whenever I tried to enter skirmish. Tried all the things listed on support/the connection issues sticky and it resolved itself after I set the game to "fullscreen" and updated video drivers.
Unfortunately the issue has come back after the last micropatch. I've been able to get into the war a couple times after a number of attempts and play for a while, but it's getting frustrating. It also happens when I try to cross region boundaries (it loads for a minute or 2 and then "connection to server has been interrupted"). Sometimes I can load back into my body, and sometimes I can't.
How good is your internet connection @buoyant mason ?
not terrible, I'm able to watch youtube/twitch and play other games (mostly World of Tanks) without issues
my hard drive is kinda slow tho, I wonder if that might have something to do with it
but I'm able to load into home island reasonably quickly and reliably
nope still does not work
imma go do recovery a month back maybe
when the game worked
all it says is something about shards
i have no idea
@buoyant mason Could be a reading issue from the hard drive itself. Try not to run any other programs while running Foxhole and shut down existing applications that you deem not needed from the task manager
@cobalt phoenix Try this:
Go to steam, right click foxhole and properties then go to betas
Select one of the betas, presumably 0.19
Let it load, check if you can access the shards
Either way, load back 0.20 again and check the shards
And what is your current game version?
It should be at the bottom right on the main menu
When you're back please make sure to ping me
@ maybar66 without the space
ok
idk
let me check
maybe steam changed my game version automatically
bc i got very many short updates
@frank zealot 0.19 can't acces shard
access*
I see, it seems to be indeed a network connectivity issue then
Load back up in 0.2 and see if anything changes
i did
can't launch game
@frank zealot
for now
standby
restarted steam
it works now
Nope still can't access shard @frank zealot
@cobalt phoenix did you try everything in the pin โtroubleshooting network-related issuesโ?
Because if not, please do everything in that pin
Iโm on mobile right now, could <@&521124241395941396> help with that?
I have same bug but with resolution switcher. I guess we should ask Devs, cuz you have to change smth in game files
its weird that its my network, because all other games work just fine
@cobalt phoenix
Same stuff but change heroes&generals with Foxhole
lol
yeah fine
Did it @frank zealot
launch foxhole?
Still can't access shards
@hot oak Was there anyone that had the problem with shards not being loaded and managed to find a fix?
yeah, he deleted his antivirus
i did too, and nothing happened
i got the "persistent war unavailable" thing
@frank zealot
@gritty token
thanks @frank zealot I'll see what else I can close
I haven't tried reinstalling yet either, I'll see if that helps
The โshards not loadingโ bug is new, and we donโt have a working fix yet. Weโre currently waiting for something from the devs, but I donโt know if they know how to fix it either
Fix for the "Shards not loading" I updated my anti-virus software and reinstalled the game and it worked.
@frank zealot http://www.foxholegame.com/support
anyone had the problem where the is no sound in game ??? well voice chat works but all sounds like running shooting isnt working. I have upgrade all the driver for my headset / Razer ManO'war and every other driver. I have also been on google to look for a solution but i haven't been able to find anything that would help. Note i have no problem with sounds in other games or other platforms.
@high garden Make sure your output device is set to your headset in the voice options, also check windows sound settings to see if the game is muted
Also try in game:
Options - Voice - refresh devices
check both your answer but nope it simple won't play any in-game sound
Anyone know anything about my game window minimizing when i press "enter"
NVm i fixed it
still it wont play vehicles or shooting sounds. i can hear and talk to people but thats it
@shadow gull What was your fix for that? I ask just so our Tech Wizards have a reference if that ever shows up for someone else.
@vivid pulsar I turned Windowed Fullscreen and Fullscreen on and off a bunch and it just fixed
Much appreciated, thanks.

I have the strong feeling I am seeling LESS far with my wide screen monitor then with 16:9
Confirmed, i can see farther with 1920 x 1080 then i can with 2560 x 1080
@astral quest The more wide screen your monitor is, the more zoomed in your view will be.
Example: Play at 1024 x 1280 resolution. Enjoy superman view
problem solved
mind sharing the solution so we can resolve this in the future?
@dense flume
@light mesa Restarting steam is the normal fix for that
Hi I cannot connect to voice chat anymore I keep receiving โvoice chat error [2] 2-5006 โ Iโve tried the reset reconnect and restarted my comp router even deleted and redownloaded the game nothing seems to be working please help when youโre available

Donโt boost his ego too much!
well it works here 12345678
So yes
Alright, try verifying your files through steam
they work
but if I try to rebind it to another number
let's say primary from one to nine
it said none
Huh
yeah weird
Might be because 9 is already bound
idk if it has anything to do with fullscreen windowed
Hmm, dont know then
can anyone tell my why i cant hear anyone when they talk through voice chat?
Ive tried changing devices and all that obvious stuff but it just wont work

Hey so i literally just did all of that, nothing has helped.
Go to Voice Settings, make sure it's correct
Its fixed, thank you.
Any one else having the problem where al audio in foxhole stop working ?? and the only thing you can hear it voice chat
Guys i know where the shard problem is from
When devs made a small change to 0.20 everyone got kicked from the game to make an update, since then the game does not work how it should
@cobalt phoenix
"The โshards not loadingโ bug is new, and we donโt have a working fix yet. Weโre currently waiting for something from the devs, but I donโt know if they know how to fix it either."
i read that already
Gonna Ping them about it soonโข
nice
Need to sleep first though
it will be ok
and itโs 5am
its 14:09 here
Greetings. After joining the war, the whole sound disappears from the game. What to do?
Just installed the game. If it matters.
@worldly sierra
Make sure your output device is set to your headset in the voice options, also check windows sound settings to see if the game is muted.
Also try in game:
Options - Voice - refresh devices
@undone forge Still having issues with your keybinds?
hi everyone
voice chat still not fixed

did that ๐
didnt work
I will note something
I tried my speakers as audio device (not ideal, because my mic pics it up and echoes) and i could hear in game volume
@dim salmon This was the first thing I thought about. That's not the point. Refresh does not help. Once again, I have a sound in the menu, but after joining the war - it disappears. In the first seconds I can still hear some sounds (for example, shots), but then no longer.
I doubt that this is the case, I do it regularly.
Well, i thought same when my pc was losing any sounds after few minutes of using it
i scanned it with Dr.Web and relaunched MaxxAudio
Then everything started to woek
Attempt not torture - as they say in my area. I'll try. Thanks.
Hello, my pc is getting hot, any recommends for settings?
Hi, I'm new to foxhole, I joined the colonials, and I later on figured out that my frineds play the wardens... Obviously I cannot switch teams, people told me to ask a mod, so here I am.

@terse flume you may ask on modmail to have more chances to connect with devs
Hey any way to enable ingame voice loopback? I have a lot of sound devices and some people say I'm way to loud, some that I'm way too low and I'm just not sure which one it is and which device to enable as input.
Console command, launch option or something? @me if anyone knows

Hi. ANy advice? Is it a Steam thing or foxhole. Tried erasing and installing again to no avail.
@alpine blade not in game, youโll need to use an external program. I recommend Voicemixer Banana or whatever that is
@jagged holly verify your files
@sly mortar I do have voicemixer but all my outputs also go throu an external mixer so I can't verify the volume easily
But that answeres my question, thanks
I'll assume that if I were too loud someone would shoot me in the face to shut me up
All files validate 100% but the error occurs again.
Open steam with administrator privligies
@sinful pewter didnt help
getting the voice chat bug, did the technique but still not working
same
content file locked??? never seen that before
try checking out your antivirus @jagged holly
make sure it isnt quarantining foxhole thinking itโs a virus
@hushed tinsel Holy Shit. That was it.
I had allowed it yesterday. Dont know why the path was quarantined.
Thanks Patrick!
no problem man, see you in game!
Is there a way to fix hot cpu because of this game?
Does anybody know why does it say persistent war unvailable whenever you want to join the war? I bought the game yesterday and it said that i can't join the war
@terse flume do you have your fans clear in your rig to prompt air flow
Hello I and a friend of mine just bought the game, we both have choose the warden side, but somehow he is on the collonial side and we really wanna play together. is there anyway we can change factions? we didn't really did anything in game tho

I am back from out of town, so i will be monitoring this channel again ๐
so uh
I know a part of the voip problem
using Internet from your home just
causes an error
phone* not home
oh like mobile hot spot?
Also, if anyone needs help, please feel free to ping me! I will assist ASAP.
yeah
mobile hot spot, you can't use VOIP
when i use my normal internet it works fine
i keep getting this issue when i try to relaunch the game http://prntscr.com/lx40dv
verified game cache
reset my pc
deactivated firewall
I'm not at my desk right now but one weird thing with that error is the fact that normal folder destinations are \ but then it switches to /. Give me a second and I will help ya!
@polar linden The issue could be many different things. I assume that it is an issue with VoIP not having enough bandwidth to talk out. I would just use normal internet
And @violet olive Try reinstalling the game, uninstall then reinstall.
yeah if I had the option too I would use normal net
Ah okay
Let me think then
What cell phone provider?
Also, the game works and runs fine, no network lage? (apparently that is french lag lol)
@polar linden
Could be a dns thingy on the mobile/modem.
Ah yeah make sure you unlock your ports too, info is in pinned messages
^
I would set 8.8.8.8 and 208.67.220.220 on your computers IPV4 settings for the ethernet or wifi port.
A lot of Cell phone Providers do not like VoIP traffic going through their Hotspots, this could be the issue as well. I would try to VPN through and see if there are any blocks as well as to allow ports for Steam.
This tool can check to see if SIP ALG, a protocol that routes SIP traffic (usually used by VoIP to a internal PBX system, hint hint, no one here has one at their house in like 99% of cases) This tool can help diagnose if something is changing the packet headers for the Vivox traffic and dumping it to a place that no one uses! https://steamcommunity.com/linkfilter/?url=http://support.clouditsp.com/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/167/38/sip-alg-detector

?role @gritty token +Regulars
Changed roles for [27thFRC]Datnicka#5313, +Regulars
:D
Thank you Sir ๐
Regulars are Collie bias.
@gritty token Follow Icanari's example in the pinned.
I will!
CHs were Warden bias so it is perfectly balanced
Not really.
CHs had applicatiin forums, meaning it was left up to both those that desired and deserved it.
Name 3 Collie CHs besides me
Anyways, not really the place to talk about this.
TauZeph, ApertureAwesome, and Qloos
Thank you Lazarus, I will be editing what I put into something nicer in a minute, I am at work.
@gritty token I have no idea how to do that
google isn't really helping either
or well, I do know how to but
idk where to put that in
What operating system do you have?
w7
@gritty token I can save you from typing ๐
How to configure wired TCP/IP Properties of my computer(Windows XP,Vista,7,8,10,Mac)?
Win7 is the second one
Thank you Maybar!
Nps!
@polar linden Pleaase follow what Marbar66 sent, select Windows 7
Do not change the part where it says "Obtain an IP address automatically" you want to keep that settings active.
@polar linden just at the bottom, you have to tick the "Use the following DNS server addressess": and change preferred to 8.8.8.8 and alternate to 8.8.4.4
Only change the DNS part.
@frank zealot I reccomend using 208.67.222.222 as the alternate because it is a different DNS provider and it is Open DNS
oh hold on then
boooooo google lol
But oh, you were having problems on mobile internet or pc internet? @polar linden
mobile internet, VOIP doesn't work with it
keep getting errors
for Foxhole specifically, and the plugin it uses
not sure about other games tho
Oh I see, it's a whole different approach. Setting up DNS depends on which model you use
galaxy s7
You mainly need to use mobile internet to get into foxhole?
Well I am talking about setting DNS on the laptop or pc not the phone
I don't think you can change the mobile hotspots DNS
or s6 whatever, I forgot what gen it is
Let me check my S8
@gritty token I actually use dns for my asus zenfone
yeah its a s6 my bad
Oh really? that is nice, yeah my S8 doesn't allow me to change DNS
@polar linden https://support.opendns.com/hc/en-us/articles/228009007-Android-Configuration-instructions-for-OpenDNS
Try this
let me see
I would also check other games and see if VoIP works
May even be worth running the SIP ALG detector on your laptop / pc
It is in Pinned Messages
oh, don't I have to turn off the mobile access thing before I mess with wi fi stuff
It works for wifi yeah, totally forgot the mobile net is the other way around
One second
right
That is why i think he should set static DNS on the adapter for the device he is trying to play foxhole on
Alright, so basically he has to set up a hotspot, connect it with the pc and edit the ipv4 correct? @gritty token
Yes!
I mean that's already done, just lacking the ipv4 part
There we go, the link I sent you before, you just need to arrange the ipv4 dns to opendns
How to configure wired TCP/IP Properties of my computer(Windows XP,Vista,7,8,10,Mac)?
xD
Yes
See if that resolves the issue
If it does not
Check if other games have the same or similiar problem
hm
Let us know if it doesn't work
^
Awesome ๐
well you should definitely pin it for ppl who use mobile phones for internet
it could help a lot
Ill write something up for this specific issue and see if i can get it pinned! I will give credit to you @frank zealot ๐
thanks again
Haha no worries, but I'd take a high five
I just get mixed up when we were talking about mobile internet, I wanted to set up dns for my mobile data a few months ago so that instantly popped into my mind
OHHH
That is what you were talking about
Honestly, that may be the way to set DNS for the mobile hotspot "router" is by setting it for your LTE's DNS
Hmmm
Hopefully that made sense
It is for recieved internet though
And outbound
I think it only works on the wifi you're recieving internet from, as mobile hotspot directly uses internet from mobile data you need to get deeper on the settings to change mobile data's DNS
But if you make your phone a hotspot from a wifi it's connected to, should probably work
Oh okay, are you talking Wi-Fi bridging, using a mobile hotspot? If so, it comes down to what ever is supplying the wi-fi first, that will be the DNS server used (what ever is saved in the router unless the device says otherwise).
Now if you are JUST using the mobile hotspot, you may be able to change the DNS for it by changing what DNS your LTE uses!
And this is all assumption because I rarely do both but that is how it should work
Yup, didn't find a way to change my LTE's DNS in my asus zenfone
But I wanted to do that
Interesting, let me check my S8
Yeah doesn't look like you can
I can't either on my S8, no options for it, ill have to dig in the hidden settings >:D
Yeah those stuff I didn't wanted to dig in that much, if it was my old galaxy ace I'd hit that lmao
Oh let me make a pinnable thing for this though
Try to format it like Icanari's pins and post it here, add all the links and that and we can figure out how to get it pinned!
I also need to format my pin, gotta wait for my lunch break to focus long enough on it
IF YOU ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH VOIP WHILE USING A MOBILE NETWORK CONNECTION DO THE FOLLOWING
-Connect to your mobile hotspot through your PC and follow this website, scroll down to windows 7 (works same way with windows 10)
https://www.tp-link.com/us/faq-14.html
-In the "Use the following DNS server addresses" section, type in 8.8.8.8 for the first and 8.8.4.4 for the second bar.
-Voila!

And Voila! Thank you for more troubleshooting documentation @frank zealot
No problems, always around to help
Always hated the people that find a solution about their problem and never respond to their own topics in the internet so this is my favorite free time job lmao
I work for a VoIP phone provider in technical support, so im use to all this and felt like I could help out a lot here ๐ Always great having more hands and different perspectives because we have almost 0 documentation lol
I guess vsync doesn't work?Keeps going back to off
Nivida Vsync?
ingame
Check and see if there are updates to your GPU drivers
I'm all updated sadly, thought about that
vsync issuses usually stem from hardware or software issues on the device using Vsync. So, is it turning off globally for the control panel for your graphics card or is it only turning off for foxhole?
There seems to be a rare bug with settings aswell, game settings revert when you open the settings. You can restart your game to see if it is actually working or not. But for my opinion, I don't think it's necessary to use Vsync.
Do you have a CRT monitor?
@forest compass Well for now as a quick fix you can manually lock your FPS by following this guide. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1092908076
Ping tech wizards too, they might have encountered that before.
Disclaimer: Unlocking FPS can kill weak GPUs
Right, thanks!
It's for reduction though, not maximization and also you can try setting up Vsync to 'Application Preference' (or similar) in your graphics card's control panel.
Yeah I'll just edit the file
@forest compass for the FPS thingy, if you want it to be capped at let's say 60, simply put in FrameRateLimit=60.000000 in your GameUserSettings.ini
If you still have problems please ping tech wizards aswell
Yup, that's what i edited, thanks
Did that all work @forest compass ?
yeah though I noticed my ingame settings keep resetting every restart
Do you use different nicknames every time you start up Foxhole? @forest compass
nope
windows 10 laptop, gtx 1070
Damn it supports Vsync? that is nice, give me a second.
Im at work so i can message sporaticly until i get home :/
@jagged holly If you are still having the same problem, disable your antivirus and firewall and try again. If it works, keep them off the duration you play Foxhole and enable them again when you browse the internet.
hi voip isnt working for me in game cant hear voice chat from other players
Alright, let me start with the basics, what Operating system do you have and is it a laptop or PC
I really need to create a Troubleshooting template...
no desktop
What operating system
linux
sorry meant to sy windows
Which version?
10
Okay do this
go on
@quasi gorge I want to know if the root of this issue is caused by something I feel like aswell. If you haven't started that or that haven't fixed your issue yet, can you do (windows button+r) and type %APPDATA% and then head to "AppData\Local\Foxhole\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor" then post a screenshot of the ingredients of the Engine.ini textfile?
@gritty token you there?
Have you guys ever tried to check the Engine.ini file for the vivox problem to see if the route is correctly set?
Please ping me when you respond
Yes I am here now
Whats up?
Talking about this? @frank zealot
Credit for this fix goes to @โกRโก Xanxth . If you are having issues with Vivox, try to delete the following folder, which contains two vivox .dll's.
Close Steam
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Foxhole\War\Plugins\VivoxCoreUE4Plugin\Source\ThirdParty\VivoxCoreLibrary
Then reopen steam, and verify the steam cache by going to your steam library > right click Foxhole > Properties > Local > Verify Steam Cache Integrity
foxhole have controler support?
@frank zealot hmm
problem
I'm getting the same issue again
even with the DNS set
@gritty token not that one, I'll show you what I mean soon
@polar linden what seems to be the problem? You changed anything after DNS?
nope
Now it may be SIP ALG
Possibly.
Can you run the SIP ALG tool on your PC, it is in pinned messages
Look for my name
Actually, go to voice settings> reconnect to voice
^
Try this one
was about to say
did that too lol
it just keeps trying to reconnect
then I get an error
error [2] 2-5031
Also, Maybar, please tell me more, I am curious. I haven't inspected that file so im not sure what information is there. I wish we had documents on what the error codes mean
@polar linden, Check for a pinned message from KrazyFlyingChicken giving credit to someone named Xanth, try that.
Hm.
think I should simply wait for my internet to come back
lemme restart my PC maybe, see if the issue gets fixed, I did it earlier but can't recall if my VOIP was fixed afterwards
If that doesn't work try changing your input device and restart foxhole and try to see if it works
Anything can be a problem as we know too little about vivox
@gritty token I will send the stuff soon
Please do
Here I am going to dump a format update for my pin above, can a <@&374193809174822912> pin it and remove my older one?
Fixing issues with SIP ALG
**What is SIP ALG? **
SIP ALG is a protocol used by routers to modify packet headers to send traffic to Public Branch Exchanges (PBX systems) for VoIP traffic. PBXs are used to make calls and to route calls.
Why would this create an issue?
SIP ALG will change the location the VoIP or SIP traffic ends up. Causing dropped packets and possible issues with connecting to VoIP servers. VoIP needs a direct path to the servers without any translations or modification.
Solution:
One way to check if you have SIP ALG turned on is by running this tool:
https://support.ringlogix.com/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/167/38/sip-alg-detector
This tool is not guaranteed to find if you are having SIP ALG issues but it could make for an easier diagnostic. Another thing worth checking is if your router has it turned on (Usually found in the firewall or Application Layer Gateway (ALG) settings)
love y'all
