sly mortar
#

Alright, so what have you done with the game?

violet olive
sly mortar
#

Try restarting your PC

violet olive
#

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

sly mortar
#

Yeah, try restarting your PC

violet olive
#

will reset pc now and relay

#

fixed. Cheers man. Dunno why it derped but its sorted

sly mortar
#

@violet olive Steam is stupid sometimes

hard mauve
#

@sly mortar it did not work

sly mortar
#

Alright

#

Fixing Voice Chat

  1. Close Steam
  2. Go to
    C:\Program Files(x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Foxhole\War\Plugins\VivoxCoreUE4Plugin\Source\ThirdParty\VivoxCoreLibrary
  3. Reopen Steam, verify the game files by going to Steam Library >> Right Click Foxhole >> Properties >> Local Files >> Verify Integrity of Game Files
  4. Restart your PC
#

Try that

shadow gull
#

What qualifies as voice chat being "broken"

sly mortar
#

Is it working?

shadow gull
#

Well yeah

sly mortar
#

Then it's not broken

shadow gull
#

lmao okay

sly mortar
#

Is it working well?

shadow gull
#

I mean it's a little laggy at times

#

But its prob bc im near so many people

sly mortar
#

Then it's still not broken

#

And complain to @hot oak If that happens

violet olive
#

everytime i close the game it reports a virus blocked. I have to reset my pc each time i wish to play it again?

sly mortar
#

Hmm, what does the message say?

sly mortar
#

Same error as before?

violet olive
#

yeah =/ maybe just add an exception?

sly mortar
#

Yeah

violet olive
#

hmm cant seem to find the option

sly mortar
#

Which antivirus?

violet olive
#

just avast

sly mortar
#

Dunno then, I run Norton

violet olive
#

ill reset pc again. Should i report this recurring issue somewhere?

sly mortar
#

I don't think it's the game, probably steam / avast

violet olive
#

reset pc and still denying

sly mortar
#

Fucking steam

#

Try verifying the game files

violet olive
#

seems to be an avast issue

#

disable for 10 mins

#

i dunno

#

i cant reliably recreate

sly mortar
#

Avast is strange

uncut mauve
sly mortar
#

Uh

#

Try verifying the files through steam @uncut mauve

uncut mauve
#

alright

#

still the same

sly mortar
#

Hmm

#

@uncut mauve Check the pin "Microsoft Visual 2015... is missing"

warm matrix
#

@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?

sly mortar
#

One second please

versed gull
#

ingame?

#

if so just readjust it in settings

sly mortar
#

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```

done. @sly mortar

sly mortar
warm matrix
#

@sly mortar I don't have an AppData folder in my user folder...

sly mortar
#

Search %appdata%

warm matrix
#

rgr that

sly mortar
#

It's a hidden file

warm matrix
#

There no local folder in the AppData folder...

sly mortar
#

When you search that it puts you in the Roaming folder

#

You need to go back one level of folder into the AppData folder

warm matrix
#

aha. sorry... total windows noob here!

#

@sly mortar thanks! SUCCESS!

hollow flicker

@gritty token i put it on fullscreen rather then windowed fullscreen aand it good

mighty yacht
#

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

sinful pewter
#

@mighty yacht check if your main audio device is set as the default one

willow sandal
#

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

#

?

thorn rover
#

Odd, verify the game files and restart steam

willow sandal
#

Ok

sinful pewter
#

@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

tawdry thistle
#

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...

pine ledge
#

rip helghast

#

what have you tried already

tawdry thistle
#

I got it after exit game

frank zealot
#

@tawdry thistle Disable your antivirus, move the .exe back to its place and mark it not to be quarantined.

willow sandal
#

@sinful pewter it has access through the firewall

glad lion
#

i cannot see the operations on maps what should i do ?

sly mortar
#

@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

glad lion
#

i tried but still nothing

sly mortar
#

Don't know then, try restarting the game

stray zenith
#

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>

sly mortar
#

@stray zenith Have you updated your graphics drivers?

stray zenith
#

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

sly mortar
#

Have you tried verifying your game files?

flat kelp
#

do you have a back up reset you pc

sly mortar
#

sigh

#

Don't wipe your PC

stray zenith
#

I've reinstalled the game a couple times

sly mortar
#

Try reverifying

stray zenith
#

Will do

sly mortar
#

It works slightly differently than reinstalling

stray zenith
#

It says it worked fine

#

Should I try the game again now?

sly mortar
#

Suuure

flat kelp
#

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

stray zenith
#

It didn't work

#

So just like go into my drivers and just remove em?

sly mortar
#
  1. The Nvidia tool really doesn't like removing drivers
  2. That won't help
#

NO

#

Because you'll completely fuck your drivers over

stray zenith
#

Yeah that's what I was thinking

stray zenith
#

Next step of action?

sly mortar
#

Different game

flat kelp
#

that is what i found

#

same problem

#

i'ts the same error code

#

the error comes from the engine

sly mortar
#

Alright, it wasn't using the Nvidia tool to uninstall

#

It was using a 3rd party program which has a history of wiping computers

stray zenith
#

I'm gonna try to find the driver that at least partially worked

sly mortar
#

Alright

stray zenith
#

I would like to completely fix this though

sly mortar
#

If you want to go through the windows settings and completely remove your graphics drivers, you can, but I don't recommend it

stray zenith
#

Would that help do you think?

sly mortar
#

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

flat kelp
#

if you remove your drivers in the correct way noting will go wrong

sly mortar
#

hahahaha

stray zenith
#

Trying other drivers to try and find that one again

#

Here goes nothing, let's see if this is the one

sly mortar
#

Alright, if I see you back in about 10 minutes I'll assume it worked

stray zenith
#

It didn't work

sly mortar
#

Uninstalling?

#

Or installing?

stray zenith
#

No, new ones

sly mortar
#

Ah

stray zenith
#

So I should uninstall them using Windows?

sly mortar
#

Your choice, but it can't go too badly

stray zenith
#

So then after that I should get the latest drivers or?

sly mortar
#

Try them

flat kelp
#

just reset you pc completly

sly mortar
#

sigh

flat kelp
#

get your stuff to a extern

sinful pewter
#

@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

sly mortar
#

What graphics card do you have?

#

@sinful pewter

sinful pewter
#

Gtx 650 1gb lol

sly mortar
#

Then you don't have the same problem

#

Your card is running out of RAM

#

His isn't

stray zenith
#

How do you even turn the game on lmao @sinful pewter

sinful pewter
#

It works fine

#

Just directx crashing

sly mortar
#

I can run the game on a 6-7 year old intel integrated GPU

sinful pewter
#

Ye, it dosen't ran out of ram as far as I know

#

DirectX crashes or there is a memleak

stray zenith
#

?

sly mortar
#

Delete one of them

#

And see if that helps

stray zenith
#

Delete then restart and try?

sly mortar
#

Yeah

stray zenith
#

Why don't I just delete the vision ones and the graphics one?

sinful pewter
#

Which Gpu you got?
And windows

sly mortar
#

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

stray zenith
#

GeForce GTX 1060 6bg Win10 @sinful pewter

sinful pewter
#

Windows 10 right?

sly mortar
#

he just said it

sinful pewter
#

Lol

#

Icanari which win you got?

sly mortar
#

10

sinful pewter
#

@stray zenith , other games crash for you?

stray zenith
#

Only War Thunder, everything else works fine

#

My absurdly huge colony on Rimworld runs totally fine

sinful pewter
#

Rimworld works great for me to

sly mortar
#

RimWorld really only uses CPU

sinful pewter
#

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 watching )

stray zenith
#

Do you get the same error message?

sly mortar
#

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

stray zenith
#

I'm gonna try the driver thing first

#

Installing rn

sinful pewter
#

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

sly mortar
#

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

stray zenith
#

Fuck

#

It didn't work

sinful pewter
#

Well I need to praise the holy pins

stray zenith
#

Okay so I'm going to try this

proud smelt
#

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

sly mortar
#

@proud smelt Try verifying your files

proud smelt
#

@sly mortar Fixed it. Had to delete and redownload the game

#

It works now

sly mortar
#

Verifying probably would have done the same thing, but eh, it worked

proud smelt
#

Nope, didnt work so reinstalled

bronze pagoda
#

So i just got the game

#

and it opens and is just a black screen

#

and TM says not responding

#

Disregard, worked on relaunch

gritty token
#

hmmmm

stray zenith
#

@sly mortar Are you online?

sly mortar
#

Yeah

#

Why?

stray zenith
#

DMs

ionic sundial
#

What should I be checking with a voice chat error?

#

Ping me

dim salmon
#

@ionic sundial

  1. Options-Voice-Reconnect
  2. Options-Voice-Refresh
  3. Relaunch client
#

pick one

#

3rd one if 1 or 2 doesn't works

grim wagon
#

i've tried all 3 and I still can't hear anyone in game

#

nm got it

sly mortar
#

@ionic sundial Did those things work?

ionic sundial
#

Spamming reconnect and refresh doesn't, but I have yet to try spamming client relaunch

sly mortar
#

Don't spam it

#

Did none of those things work?

ionic sundial
#

No

sly mortar
#

Fixing Voice Chat

  1. Close Steam
  2. Go to
    C:\Program Files(x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Foxhole\War\Plugins\VivoxCoreUE4Plugin\Source\ThirdParty
  3. Delete VivoxCoreLibrary
  4. Reopen Steam, verify the game files by going to Steam Library >> Right Click Foxhole >> Properties >> Local Files >> Verify Integrity of Game Files
  5. Restart your PC
ionic sundial
#

Ok I'll give it try

west knoll
#

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

sly mortar
#

@west knoll What errors? There are many possible ones

west knoll
#

sorry for not responding earlier but it just says fatal error

sly mortar
#

Hmm, try verifying your steam files

west knoll
#

ive done that before

sly mortar
#

Alright, try updating your graphics drivers

west knoll
#

ok

#

theyre already up to date

#

cant update them

sinful pewter
#

@stray zenith Did removing C++ redistributable's fix the problem watching ?

sly mortar
#

It did not.

sinful pewter
#

Welp damm you DirectX crashes

stray zenith
#

The big fug

#

Well I guess I had fun memories playing Foxhole

sinful pewter
#

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 kawaiimine

vagrant pagoda
#

hi, i am having trouble with voice

sinful pewter
#

Ye?

vagrant pagoda
#

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

sinful pewter
#

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

vagrant pagoda
#

already did that one ๐Ÿ˜„

#

not working

sinful pewter
#

hmm

#

Do you have additional sound outputs?

vagrant pagoda
#

yes, my normal speakers

sinful pewter
#

try disconnecting / disabling --> the speakers and then try playing the game might work

vagrant pagoda
#

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

sinful pewter
#

Can you list what you already did try?

vagrant pagoda
#
  1. remove Vivox file
#
  1. select different output deivces
#
  1. 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

sinful pewter
#

Try to verify Foxhole thought steam

dim salmon
vagrant pagoda
#

i verified the files

#

steam fixed it

#

but still no luck

sinful pewter
#

Anything that might be conflicting with your internet?

sly mortar
#

Fuck Vivox.

sinful pewter
#

We use good boy language here

vagrant pagoda
#

conflicting with my internet? uhm Discord?

#

steam

sly mortar
#

Again, fuck Vivox and everything it has changed

sinful pewter
#

Vivox isn't bad

#

its just vivox

sly mortar
#

We had voice chat that worked perfectly

#

Now we have Vivox.

sinful pewter
#

@vagrant pagoda Try uninstalling the game and installing afterwards restart your computer

vagrant pagoda
#

ok

sly mortar
#

Make sure sound drivers are updated

deep lark
#

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

sly mortar
#

Alright, what's the issue?

#

Did you restart steam and your computer?

deep lark
#

Quite obviously yes

#

also reinstalled the game, checked forwarded ports

#

also reinstalled all game related VC++

sly mortar
#

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"

deep lark
#

it is

sly mortar
#

Make sure

#

Because that is the normal reason

deep lark
#

already checked

sly mortar
#

Do it again

sinful pewter
#

Else try to exit steam and start it with administrator privileges

deep lark
#

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

sly mortar
#

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"

deep lark
#

yes but running steam on admin privs also make you vulnerable for port attacks

#

๐Ÿ˜„

sinful pewter
#

Never knew that, anyhow Foxhole won't steal your photos

deep lark
#

Its not foxhole that steals anything

sly mortar
#

Leaving ports open isn't as risky as it seems, unless you literally have no antivirus or firewall

deep lark
#

If you run steam on admin priviledges, anyone who hacks a server or anything like that can literally come trough the open port

vagrant pagoda
#

Richard, reinstall and restart windows didnt help

deep lark
#

Icanari, Firewall is all about ports

sly mortar
#

yeah, which is why you set it up to not allow incoming bullshit on steam ports unless you know them

deep lark
#

yeah true

#

but back to the point, live is enabled

#

๐Ÿ˜„

sly mortar
#

Hmm, is the game on a beta version?

deep lark
#

no, should be stable

#

havent gone to beta

#

ever

sly mortar
#

Are you in an area that would region lock you / are you using a VPN

deep lark
#

im in finland EU and no VPN

sly mortar
#

Alright

#

What do you see here

deep lark
#

Test1 is flase

#

false

sly mortar
#

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

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

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

golden harness
#

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?

sly mortar
#

Go to voice settings, make sure everything is correct @golden harness

#

And click "refresh devices"

golden harness
#

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

sly mortar
#

Alright, it could just be really low

golden harness
#

I just went into my audio settings and increased transmit volume and it worked! Thx man

sly mortar
#

๐Ÿ‘

deep lark
#

I just cant get this to work for the life of mine

#

Cant download shard info and cannot find servers and ive done everything

sly mortar
#

@proud schooner Alright, on to you now. Stop turting and be useful

#

he's a network engineer

#

kinda

deep lark
#

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

sly mortar
#

Lol

#

Just wait for Sir

#

He knows a lot about networking

#

if he'll stop turting

deep lark
#

how many skirmish servers do you see?

sly mortar
#

Not in-game right now

deep lark
#

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

proud schooner
#

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.

deep lark
#

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?

proud schooner
#

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

deep lark
#

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?

deep lark

#

Okay, so something is most likely blocking the game.

#

Do you have an anti-virus? Also what operating system

cobalt phoenix
#

64

#

and i do have anti-virus

gritty token
#

No no, is it Windows 10?

#

Also what anti-virus?

cobalt phoenix
#

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

gritty token
#

Hmm

#

Alright let me put some stuff here one second

cobalt phoenix
#

windows firewall asked for perm then

#

perm to launch the game

cobalt phoenix
#

ok

#

yeah i have the same problem

gritty token
#

also are you in a dorm?

cobalt phoenix
#

what is that?

#

lol

gritty token
#

University housing

#

or housing where you are suppleid internet

cobalt phoenix
#

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

gritty token
#

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?

cobalt phoenix
#

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?

gritty token
#

No lol do not

#

Not worth it yet

#

Okay so did you allow any ports for the game to pass through the windows defender?

Troubleshooting Network-Related Issues

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

Steps to Try

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

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

Got it thanks.

sinful pewter
#

@inner basin what did I do wardenlol ?

frank zealot
#

@ember chasm Could be a connection issue, disable your antivirus and firewall then try again.

buoyant mason
#

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.

frank zealot
#

How good is your internet connection @buoyant mason ?

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

cobalt phoenix
#

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

frank zealot
#

@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

frank zealot
#

@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

cobalt phoenix
#

let me check

#

how do i ping you?

frank zealot
#

@ maybar66 without the space

cobalt phoenix
#

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*

frank zealot
#

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

@frank zealot

anyone had the problem where the is no sound in game ??? well voice chat works but all sounds like running shooting isnt working.

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:

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.

Seems like it's OS problem

@alpine blade not in game, youโ€™ll 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

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.

polar linden
#

yeah if I had the option too I would use normal net

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.

#

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.

You now need to suck some dong.

gritty token

Thank you Sir ๐Ÿ˜„

shut anvil
#

Regulars are Collie bias.

elder oracle
#

@gritty token Follow Icanari's example in the pinned.

gritty token
#

I will!

elder oracle
#

and then tag me when you're done

#

I'll pin it

gritty token
#

Let me reformat and resend!

#

Give me a minute.

light mesa
#

CHs were Warden bias so it is perfectly balanced

shut anvil
#

Not really.

#

CHs had applicatiin forums, meaning it was left up to both those that desired and deserved it.

light mesa
#

Name 3 Collie CHs besides me

shut anvil
#

Anyways, not really the place to talk about this.

Thank you Lazarus, I will be editing what I put into something nicer in a minute, I am at work.

polar linden
#

@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

gritty token
#

What operating system do you have?

polar linden
#

w7

gritty token
#

Nice

#

Alright let me type this out

frank zealot
#

@gritty token I can save you from typing ๐Ÿ˜‚

gritty token
#

^

#

Lol

#

I was almost done XD

frank zealot
#

Win7 is the second one

gritty token
#

Thank you Maybar!

frank zealot
#

Nps!

gritty token
#

@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.

frank zealot
#

@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

gritty token
#

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

polar linden
#

oh hold on then

gritty token
#

boooooo google lol

frank zealot
#

But oh, you were having problems on mobile internet or pc internet? @polar linden

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

frank zealot
#

Oh I see, it's a whole different approach. Setting up DNS depends on which model you use

polar linden
#

galaxy s7

frank zealot
#

You mainly need to use mobile internet to get into foxhole?

gritty token
#

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

polar linden
#

or s6 whatever, I forgot what gen it is

gritty token
#

Let me check my S8

frank zealot
#

@gritty token I actually use dns for my asus zenfone

polar linden
#

yeah its a s6 my bad

gritty token
#

Oh really? that is nice, yeah my S8 doesn't allow me to change DNS

frank zealot
#

Try this

polar linden
#

let me see

gritty token
#

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

polar linden
#

oh, don't I have to turn off the mobile access thing before I mess with wi fi stuff

frank zealot
#

๐Ÿคฆ

#

I'm stupid

polar linden
#

yeah

#

I mean, the problem is rn my internet is out

frank zealot
#

It works for wifi yeah, totally forgot the mobile net is the other way around

#

One second

polar linden
#

right

gritty token
#

That is why i think he should set static DNS on the adapter for the device he is trying to play foxhole on

frank zealot
#

Alright, so basically he has to set up a hotspot, connect it with the pc and edit the ipv4 correct? @gritty token

gritty token
#

Yes!

polar linden
#

I mean that's already done, just lacking the ipv4 part

gritty token
#

But do not set a static IP address

#

brb.

frank zealot
#

There we go, the link I sent you before, you just need to arrange the ipv4 dns to opendns

#

xD

gritty token
#

Sending again just in case lol

#

Well there we go XD

polar linden
#

so basically just

#

do the 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4 DNS thing

gritty token
#

Yes

#

See if that resolves the issue

#

If it does not

#

Check if other games have the same or similiar problem

polar linden
#

hm

frank zealot
#

Let us know if it doesn't work

gritty token
#

^

polar linden
#

haha!

#

it worked

gritty token
#

Awesome ๐Ÿ˜„

polar linden
#

well you should definitely pin it for ppl who use mobile phones for internet

#

it could help a lot

gritty token
#

Ill write something up for this specific issue and see if i can get it pinned! I will give credit to you @frank zealot ๐Ÿ˜„

polar linden
#

thanks again

frank zealot
#

Haha no worries, but I'd take a high five

gritty token
#

There lol

#

Nice to have another tech wiz here ๐Ÿ˜„

frank zealot
#

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

gritty token
#

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

frank zealot
#

It is for recieved internet though

gritty token
#

And outbound

frank zealot
#

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

gritty token
#

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

frank zealot
#

Yup, didn't find a way to change my LTE's DNS in my asus zenfone

#

But I wanted to do that

gritty token
#

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

frank zealot
#

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

gritty token
#

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

frank zealot
#

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!

gritty token
#

<@&374193809174822912> , can we get this pinned here?

#

Thank you in advance ๐Ÿ˜„

thorn rover
gritty token
#

And Voila! Thank you for more troubleshooting documentation @frank zealot

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

gritty token
#

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 ๐Ÿ˜„ Always great having more hands and different perspectives because we have almost 0 documentation lol

forest compass
#

I guess vsync doesn't work?Keeps going back to off

gritty token
#

Nivida Vsync?

forest compass
#

ingame

gritty token
#

Check and see if there are updates to your GPU drivers

forest compass
#

I'm all updated sadly, thought about that

gritty token
#

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?

frank zealot
#

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
#

Lol no

#

It's turning it off in the game's settings

frank zealot
dim salmon
#

Disclaimer: Unlocking FPS can kill weak GPUs

forest compass
#

Right, thanks!

frank zealot
#

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.

forest compass
#

Yeah I'll just edit the file

frank zealot
#

@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

forest compass
#

Yup, that's what i edited, thanks

gritty token
#

Did that all work @forest compass ?

forest compass
#

yeah though I noticed my ingame settings keep resetting every restart

frank zealot
#

Do you use different nicknames every time you start up Foxhole? @forest compass

forest compass
#

nope

gritty token
#

What GPU do you have?

#

Also Laptop or PC and what operating system

forest compass
#

windows 10 laptop, gtx 1070

gritty token
#

Damn it supports Vsync? that is nice, give me a second.

#

Im at work so i can message sporaticly until i get home :/

frank zealot
#

@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.

quasi gorge
#

hi voip isnt working for me in game cant hear voice chat from other players

gritty token
#

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...

quasi gorge
#

no desktop

gritty token
#

What operating system

quasi gorge
#

linux

gritty token
#

Oooo that complicates things... one second

#

How are you running this game on Linux?

quasi gorge
#

sorry meant to sy windows

gritty token
#

Which version?

quasi gorge
#

10

gritty token
#

Okay do this

quasi gorge
#

go on

frank zealot
#

@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

gritty token
#

Yes I am here now

#

Whats up?

#

Talking about this? @frank zealot

#

Credit for this fix goes to @โ‰กRโ‰ก 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

uneven quartz
#

foxhole have controler support?

polar linden
#

@frank zealot hmm

#

problem

#

I'm getting the same issue again

#

even with the DNS set

frank zealot
#

@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?

polar linden
#

nope

gritty token
#

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

polar linden
#

yea i did earlier

#

just did it again

#

still false

frank zealot
#

Actually, go to voice settings> reconnect to voice

gritty token
#

^

frank zealot
#

Try this one

gritty token
#

was about to say

polar linden
#

did that too lol

#

it just keeps trying to reconnect

#

then I get an error

#

error [2] 2-5031

gritty token
#

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.

polar linden
#

yep also did that

#

didn't do anything

gritty token
#

Hm.

polar linden
#

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

frank zealot
#

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

gritty token
#

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)
