@gritty token my VC isnt working, people can hear me but i cant hear people

#

please help

gritty token
#

Yes, so no voice chat errors?

#

Wait

#

Nvm

#

What operating system do you have?

terse flume
#

windows 10

gritty token
#

Did you check the pin about allowing permissions for audio devices for foxhole?

#

Here is the link

terse flume
#

okay

#

testing it now

gritty token
#

Please do, then come back with results

terse flume
#

The mic thing for permissions was ticked on, but i tried deleting the file and checking integrity

#

i restarted and i'll tell you the results now

#

Not working

#

i still can't hear people but they hear me

#

nevermind it worked

#

thanks man

gritty token
#

There we go!

#

Do you know what fixed it? @terse flume

terse flume
#

i checked the audio settings for the 6th time till i noticed the output had changed itself to "stream headphones" or something like that

#

i changed it to my headphones and it worked again

gritty token
#

Awesome, just trying to make sure we fill out documentation with fixes, thank you.

lost cosmos
#

Not sure if this is the right place for this but;
Does Tempest Island have lowered damage? Because two direct hits with a Rifle will usually put someone down. But on Tempest they were taking 4-5 and still running away.
If this is covered somewhere and I'm just an idiot I apologize.

gritty token
#

You are fine haha, not the place to ask but i can answer, all the maps have the same decay and damage rates as other maps! Could be network lag from the server tbh. There are a lot of people on.

lost cosmos
#

Alright, thank you!

gritty token
#

No problem!

terse flume
#

Screens glitching. turning. and flipping nonstop

gritty token
#

Hm. Try re-installing

#

Tell me if that works

terse flume
#

its just this one time. Im confident if i relog it would fix it but I dont want to wait in an hour que

gritty token
#

It may have been a in-game bug, could you document it by any chance and post it to #bug-reports

terse flume
#

I have no way to record video?

#

Id like to help but you need to walk me through it

#

@gritty token

gritty token
#

If you download Screencast, you can take a video and upload it to the web.

#

If you DM me it, ill see what i can do.

light mesa
#

@terse flume if you relog within 15 minutes of leaving a region you don’t have to wait in queue

terse flume
#

Awesome thanks man

sly mortar
#

No @light mesa. That's only if you region travel.

#

If you log out it will not save your spot.

light mesa
#

I did it last night, it worked

sly mortar
#

Then the region didn't have a queue, because it has been specifically stated that on log out your spot is not saved.

terse flume
#

Will the fix the queue? bc if that is normal, population will drop

gritty token
#

It is only because of the very high population.

#

I assume the developers are currently working on a solution to that problem. We usually dont have 1.7k people online at once

#

It use to be about 800 peak

terse flume
#

Well lets hope that happens and we keep them

gritty token
#

I do as well, i am very happy to see the game grow! It has changed a lot since i joined.

Hello

#

hey so i set my resolution too high and the screen flickers and crashes my computer

gritty token

Looks at pins for fixing resolution issues

#

I'm on mobile so I cant link it

barren hamlet
#

why am I getting the loading screen bug were I can move and hear sounds but the loading screen does not go at the most important times wene I
cross regions I exit the game then either have to run to my truck which is still at the borders walking long distances or I have to wait in the very big que again, I have lost sea vehicles thanks to this bug and vehicles that took me time to prepare, this day its happening a lot of times that I don't feel like wasting my time on the game anymore.

tepid bone
#

where do i go from here

wet marlin
#

I think you are in the wrong folder - that looks like the steam install directory.

#

You may need to turn on the show hidden files option in your home directory (C://Users/[username]/)

Nevermind, had to redownload the game.

Nevermind about that nevermind, that did not work.

wind viper
#

I get one about not being able to unpack a certain thing, and oddly enough it's a gamble as to whether the game will start or not

#

some times it does but others it doesn't

barren hamlet
#

Every time I try traveling from all the maps to the Eastern side maps or from eastern maps to any western side maps I get stuck here I can move, I can hear sounds but this image does not go, which forces me to ALT+F4 the game and have to rejoin and I have to run back long distances to reach my truck that is on the borders, and I lose the stuff I am carrying, its mainly happening on the eastern side of the maps and between deadlands and callahans at random times, it never used to happen to me before this update, and it started happening to me 5 days ago, now its happening more frequently on every map, I can't even do logistics properly.

terse flume
#

My game freezes in a strange fashion. As soon as i start the game, it is frozen, but the music is still playing. I can interact with the game but the screen is frozen. If i exit and reenter the game (using the windows key on my keyboard) the screen updates and then freezes again. I have seen other people have this issue, but no one said if they fixed it, and if they did, how they fixed it. Can you help me?

#

@terse flume

Which GPU you use and is it up to-date?

indigo cargo
#

hi I need help setting up my voice chat I can't seem to make it work cause my speakers can hear the voice chat but the sounds can only be heard from my head phones

sinful pewter
#

@indigo cargo
try plugging off the device which you aren't using

indigo cargo
#

im using a usb w/o mic plugs

sinful pewter
#

@indigo cargo Without or with?

indigo cargo
#

without

sinful pewter
#

Is everything in your foxhole settings set up to recognize your devices?

inner basin
#

@indigo cargo Are you saying that voice chat cannot be heard through your headphones, but can be heard through your speakers? That's rather odd

indigo cargo
#

yeah

#

pretty odd indeed

#

dont know how to fix it

gentle stirrup
#

Hi! I am thinking about getting the game but, I am not sure if I can run it at a decent fps, any thoughts?

inner basin
#

virus??

#

jk

#

@gentle stirrup

OS: Windows 7 or higher
Processor: Dual-Core 64-bit Intel or AMD processor, 2.0 GHZ CPU
Memory: 4 GB RAM
Graphics: 1 GB DirectX 11 compatible video card
Network: Broadband Internet connection
Storage: 2 GB available space
#

With that graphics card, I think you can run the game at maybe medium settings with decent frames

#

I am running Foxhole on my laptop that has no graphics card, just the built in Intel crappy graphics

#

I can't even play on low settings with consistent frames, I have to lower the resolution scale so the game ends up becoming a little pixel-y

sinful pewter
#

@gentle stirrup

I've played foxhole on intelHD with 30~fps

However it was windowed and the lowest possible window size + lowest resolution.

If you want only to play as logi go ahead

terse flume
#

@sinful pewter yes

#

my gpu is up to date

#

I have a Radeon RX560

sinful pewter
#

Download "DirectX Runtime" , Might be that some of your directX files might be leaking memory or something (my guess)

terse flume
#

Ok. I wil give it a go.

#

will*

#

When I try to install it says the newest version is already installed and it does not do anything.

gritty token
#

@gentle stirrup , I think you should be able to run it, your GPU is not too powerful but i would ensure that it is the main graphics processing unit and not intel HD graphics. You can switch this at the Nividia control panel if you have not already. Also, if you do buy the game, give it a test and if you dont play more than 2 hours you can return it. Also I would join the most over populated world and go the where the largest group of people are to see what happens.

#

Also if anyone above needs help, please ping me, i just got to my office and can help.

terse flume
#

Is there anything else I could do to fix my problem. I have already reinstalled DirectX twice, reinstalled my graphics card driver and reinstalled my game.

gritty token
#

One second, let me look at what was going on

#

Alright do this for me, when you run Foxhole and that happens, if you have task manager open, does your CPU, GPU or RAM usage max out?

#

And by max out i mean a steady 85% +

terse flume
#

Nope

#

CPU goes to a 5%

#

memory 28% (with other things open)

#

and where do I look at for my GPU?

gritty token
#

What operating system do you have?

terse flume
#

windows 10

gritty token
#

It should show it on task manager, look for GPU

#

If it is not there, you may need to have it set as the default to be used for games and such, that can be done from the control panel for the GPU, i can't remember what it is called for AMD cards.

inner basin
#

@terse flume What is your problem? What do you need help with?

terse flume
#

my game freezes, but i can still interact

inner basin
#

Any error messages?

terse flume
#

and if i get out and in again it updates the current frame

#

no eroor messeges

#

error*

#

messages*

inner basin
#

Updated your graphics card drivers?

#

Also, you can check your GPU usage by going into Task Manager

#

like this

#

You might have to enable it manually. Right click any tab like this

terse flume
#

yeah....no

#

oh wait...forget it, im dumb

inner basin
#

So, enable it 😄

terse flume
#

dont have the option to

inner basin
#

kappaflyinchicken WOT

#

well that is mysterious then

#

Uh, have you updated your Windows version?

terse flume
#

my computer is new

inner basin
#

Hm, try going to Windows Update then

terse flume
#

i got it 2weeks ago

sly mortar
#

Go to performance and check there

terse flume
#

not there iether

sly mortar
#

Can you make sure your graphics card is actually plugged in?

terse flume
#

yeah

#

it is

#

see

#

i see the problem... its windows update

#

its dead

sly mortar
#

Are you on your own personal computer?

#

Or like, a loaner from a school or something

inner basin
#

Why are the settings managed by your organization? @terse flume

#

Actually wait, I got that message at one point on my Windows 10 Home License once. Don't know what caused it.

terse flume
#

this is my computer

#

some parts are second hand....

#

i see the issue

#

the option to check for updates is off and i cant change it

inner basin
#

???

terse flume
#

this is bull****

#

i quote

#

Your organization has turned off automatic updates

#

a few hours ago, my foxhole would not run, now I am way deeper into the rabbit hole

#

well, ill stop bothering you because this is not considering fixing foxhole, it is more like fixing windows. I will see you later

inner basin
#

If you need further assistance, we're just a ping away @terse flume !

terse flume
#

Thank you very much

inner basin
#

I'll actually look into the whole "organization restriction" thing because it affected me too

sly mortar
#

Are you on enterprise or home

gritty token
#

Best of luck! I am fairly decent with computer troubleshooting so come back here if you need help!

#

Hey I'm trying to join a faction and it says no home region found? What does that mean?

@valid lodge Read the pinned message in this channel titled, "Fixing Network Related Issues"

#

Try the steps in there

valid lodge
#

Will do

inner basin
terse flume
#

i am watching the very same tutorial right now

inner basin
#

How's it going?

terse flume
#

it is not working

inner basin
#

Same thing here? Have you tried?

terse flume
#

i have tried that 3 times now

inner basin
#

You wouldn't have gpedit.msc if you're on a Windows 10 Home License though

terse flume
#

i am not

#

i have a windows 10 pro

inner basin
#

Ah I see

#

Use Windows Key + End to go into System

terse flume
#

I found my problem

#

on the right

#

it says i am part of a organisation

inner basin
#

ASRock? Did you build this PC yourself?

#

nonononoon DO NOT ALLOW TELEMETRY

#

Telemetry is BAD

terse flume
#

ok

#

so, disabled or not configured

sly mortar
#

Do not allow it

#

Disable Telemetry

terse flume
#

ok

sly mortar
#

Like, disable it so hard it gets deleted off your computer

#

Also, You're in an Organization called "WORKGROUP", and that might be a problem, not sure though. That organizational stuff is annoying

terse flume
#

yeah i saw that and i believe that is the main issue

#

excuse me for my English, i am from Croatia

#

When you sign in what are you signing into?

#

Your account, or the computer's account?

terse flume
#

i do not understand the questionđ

#

question*

sly mortar
#

When you sign into your computer, are you logging into your Windows Account, or are you logging into the Computer's Local Account

terse flume
#

I am unsure. How do I check

#

i have checked, it is a local account

#

I DID IT

#

Thank you all

#

@sly mortar you got the right idea, i went into my Microsoft account instead and it works

#

The message is gone

sly mortar
#

Ah ha

#

Try doing the other fixes now

terse flume
#

ohoh

#

windows update still doesnt function

#

back to the drawing board

gritty token
#

Ran your error code and this is what i found.

terse flume
#

oh i am way past that problem. i somehow have no access to services, and i REALLY need those to fix this

gritty token
#

You need to run administrator access

#

You can do it from CMD or by right clicking something

terse flume
#

tried that, didnt work

gritty token
#

what does it say when trying to change services, also have you talked to microsoft support?

terse flume
#

When I change any of the services it is fine UNLESS I change Windows update. Then the computer just says "Access is denied"

#

and ye3s

#

yes*

#

they were not very helpful

#

only offered me solutions i have already tried

#

and then they offered my a special program which would install all updates itself. It is running as we speak

Faction Unlock

When joining a war, you will be locked to the faction you selected for the remainder of that war (until the conclusion of that Conquest). If you inadvertently select the wrong faction, you can request a Moderator to unlock your faction. Please note that this is not a guarantee a Moderator will unlock your faction, and if you do get unlocked, you will be locked to the faction you select for the remainder of the war.

To request a faction unlock, please direct message the @coarse trail bot and provide the following:
• Username
• Faction Locked To
• Reason for Request
• Your steamID or Steam profile URL

Need help finding your steamID or profile URL? Use ?tag how2steamid for a how-to!

@upper sluice yes, but it locks you to one side

#

great thanks

terse flume
#

My problem is fixed . Thank you all so much.

upper sluice
#

@sly mortar everytime I re-open the game it lets me re-choose xD

#

I'm not locked at all

sly mortar
#

@upper sluice then you haven’t been in the home region for 6 minutes

#

Uh

#

Doubt it

You should probably look into getting a CPU

Hi, I have problem with fps. They aren't stable, they drops from 60 to 25 in a second and back to 60 I cant play

#

@terse flume , it is most likely an issue with your computer being able to handle it.

#

@jovial birch , i will ask KFC if there is anything.

terse flume
#

I dont thing so

#

it happens after changing option on the lowest

#

I will try to reintall game and try tomorrow

#

What are you specs?

#

Also where are you when this happens? does it happen everywherE?

terse flume
#

okey

#

I have just reinstalled the game and set graphics on medium and change the window scale on the middle

#

I have stable 40 fps now

#

if I change on the lowest settings I will get 60 fps and get fps drops to 20

#

I am goint to stay on medium and have fun with stable 40 fps

@terse flume Perfect, not sure what is going on with low settings but i would keep it there.

Hey, Is this the right place to ask for help? I cant hear voice chat or speak to people. all other game audio is coming out of my headset, which is registered as the default device. the headset mic is also the default device and is picked up in discord but not in foxhole. anyone else had this issue?

Hi I was told I could get help in this chat

#

I was hoping to talk to a developer

sly mortar
#

@shadow delta what do you need?

shadow delta
#

Are you a dev

#

Oh wait I already sent a mod mail so nvm

sly mortar
#

That doesn’t go to the devs... that goes to the people with the “mod” tag

#

And also, read the channel topic, this is for technical stuff

shadow delta

The website said that if i needed help to msg technical chat

sly mortar

Yes, so what is the problem?

I did a mod mail already

it might just be a problem with ur connection or ur computer might not be able to handle travel though if u were able to travel before with no problem its most likely ur internet.

#

you try restarting ur router

tepid thistle
#

I will try now

#

Don't think it's my computer, got a pretty decent one

ok yea just restart router leave it unplugged for 1 minute

Yep

I just re-installed the game

#

And same issue.

I am able to choose faction but when I try to travel: Travel in progress... (5-10 seconds) Lost connection to Server. Please try again.

#

@gritty token any idea? :/

Hmm

One second let me look back and see

let me ask this, do you live in a dorm by any chance

Not now

#

I will be living in one in like 1 week

but right now I'm at home

#

Okay

#

Has this just started happening?

tepid thistle
#

I bought the game today

#

so

gritty token
#

Good point lol

tepid thistle
#

By the way, I think I may have fixed it

#

idk

gritty token
#

What did you do?

#

and gimme a second if not im looking into it

tepid thistle
#

I just logged out and joined again (I noticed that factions swapped sides, like, colonials were on the left, now on the right)

#

And now it's working

#

It's like sometimes works

#

Lol i don't know if that fixes the whole thing here

tepid thistle
#

xD

gritty token
#

let me ask, what is your ISP?

#

That faction thing is normal to see lol

tepid thistle
#

I mean, probably there's a real problem behind this

#

My ISP is Vodafone/ONO (Spanish ISP)

#

(I think it also operates in other countries)

#

(unsure)

gritty token
#

Okay, what operating system do you have?

tepid thistle
#

gritty token
#

I think it may be worth putting in custom DNS servers on the internet adapter

#

Do you know how?

#

I can give you instructions

tepid thistle
#

No idea

gritty token
#

Okay, if you want here is a link

#

Let me ask this, wireless or ethernet connection?

#

So i can help make sure you select the right one lol

tepid thistle
#

ethernet

#

@smoky steppe If I get the problem again, I will do it

gritty token
#

So make sure to select "Ethernet adapter"

tepid thistle
#

And ask you for the right one

gritty token
#

Fine with me 😄

tepid thistle
#

Thank you very much

Ill put them here, 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4

#

@terse flume you said you couldn’t hear voice chat?

terse flume
#

Am here

#

Here's my problem:

I can't hear game chat and voice chat - when one works, the other doesn't

sly mortar
#

Alright

terse flume
#

I'm using a bluetooth headset, with separate stereo and hands-free mic*

sly mortar
#

Make sure that both are using the correct output

terse flume
#

Kk

#

The first one is the "same device output". The second one is the preferred output

#

I want to have my sound run through the Stereo system, because the quality is substantially better. But, it's technically not the "same" as the Hands-Free version. Thus, when I do that, Foxhole doesn't run any sound whatsoever

#

Windows Device Output is the same story - "recording device" is the Hands-Free, "Playback" is the Stereo

sly mortar
#

Hmm, foxhole doesn’t seem to like complicated stuff for this, does it work at all when on the same output?

terse flume
#

Yes, it works when on the same output

sly mortar
#

Do both parts work?

terse flume
#

When both Windows and Foxhole have "S-250 Hands-Free" as output, Foxhole works

#

In both Playback and Recording

sly mortar
#

So you can hear and speak with that?

terse flume
#

(Btw, I added the rest to experiment with using virtual sound cables to make foxhole work. End result: nothing worked)

#

Yeah, with the Hands-Free I can hear and speak

#

The quality is terrible, but it works

sly mortar
#

Then I would just do that. Foxhole is really bad with this stuff

#

With Vivox(foxholes voice system) if it works, no matter the quality, don’t fix it

terse flume
#

Understood

#

I'm hoping that input and output can be different sometime in the future. That would make my headphones work fabulously

sly mortar
#

I think it is on mine, but I’m not at home so I can’t check. My sound set up is also massively complicated, and kind of just works at this point.

#

However, it works differently on different peripherals, so I don’t know

terse flume
#

My peripheral is a bluetooth headset designed to take calls and handle voice - basically, to interface with a phone, not a computer

#

It just so happens, mine works with my computer. Spectacularly, too!

#

Idk, I'm frustrated at the way foxhole handles sound at the moment, but there are more pressing concerns in general

sly mortar
#

Yeah, vivox is fucking stupid. As you might be able to tell by this channels history, before vivox we didn’t have to fix any voice issues, after it’s pretty much the only thing we do

blissful sequoia
#

@terse flume the sound quality problems is likely a mismatch in sample rate

#

like 44.1 vs 48khz

#

if its really stuttery, it might be a buffer size problem; I think soundmeeter has some low-level buffers for low latency audio that may be too small for a slow CPU

terse flume
blissful sequoia
#

but really there are simpler programs, maybe its worth trying the soundpad demo on steam and removing soundmeeter. Your sound problems will go away when you take it out

#

thats a pretty low ... quality, wow.

#

a good starting point is probably 16 bit 44100 hz

terse flume
#

Kk

#

I'm not surprised, because this specific speaker output is meant for phone calls. General bluetooth shenanigans

blissful sequoia
#

but 16khz is already maybe a reason the sound quality isnt great

terse flume
#

I'll give soundpad a go

blissful sequoia
#

it will pick up voice up to 8khz, so you cant blow your slide whistle

sly mortar
#

Try voicemeeter

#

That’s the one I use, really easy and the UI is good

analog mirage
#

Hello

#

I need help

sly mortar
#

Alright, what do you need help with?

analog mirage
#

Currently reinstalling the game

sly mortar
#

Okay, what was the problem?

analog mirage
#

Well basically everytime I tried to boot the game up it said I needed visual C++ 2015

sly mortar
#

Ah

analog mirage
#

So I installed/reinstalled it a couple of times but it still asked for it

sly mortar
#

There is a pinned message for “missing c++ executable” which you should check

austere galleon
#

@hot oak any official comment on why we removed the ability to unstuck vehicles by getting in and out fast

hot oak
#

@austere galleon because we're trying to fix it. We needed to fix the 'bug' that pivoted the car in the first place before we could begin to tackle why they're getting stuck at all

sly mortar
#

@hot oak Anything about Vivox bullshit being fixed? Colonialol

hot oak
#

@sly mortar We're not even in the office!

#

Gaww!

sly mortar
#

@hot oak PLEASE! Fix the damn thing

#

just do it already

#

it's becoming painful at this point

blissful sequoia
#

@sly mortar yea @terse flume was using voicemeeter but he doesn't have it set up right for the voice chat in foxhole, maybe he will ask you for details

sly mortar
#

Not on the computer with Voicemeeter on it right now @blissful sequoia, but yeah, I'll be there in a couple of days to see it, because I can't remember exactly how it's set up

blissful sequoia
#

well no rush i'm sure its just going to end up loudly spamming music in battles heh

sly mortar
#

@blissful sequoia Well yeah, what did you think having Voicemeeter was for? hbjoy

#

In a 6 LT tank column rushing BTs? Better get some Sabaton going

blissful sequoia
#

I think he actually said it was for home region lol

sly mortar
#

@blissful sequoia Eh, I don't do that because it's a dick thing to do

#

It's hard for people not to hear you, and that's technically something the moderators will come investigate

blissful sequoia
#

I just have to mute them all, their music blares over mine at startling 16khz quality

#

Hey, I'm not sure if this is the right place, but I recently edited something on the Foxhole Wiki (changed Lt. Tank Shell to 40mm Round to reflect a name change) and I broke the link that linked back to itself. Does anybody know how to solve this?

I've got the same problem Cyclone. Reinstalled sound driver, reinstalled foxhole, triple checked settings in Windows. Works everywhere else, just not here in Foxhole.

#

Hey, Im getting Voice Chat Error [2] 2-5045 the moment I load into the Home Island and lost voice connection. I have tried to manually relaunch voice, I have checked the pins and followed the instructions there. I have searched this channel for other users problems and followed those instructions. Both Foxhole and Steam are running as administrator on Win10. The Vivox file mentioned in pins has been deleted and reverified twice, as well as 2 restarts, but Im still getting this error. Have I missed something?

hello, so i tried to load the game up yesterday however the game wouldn't load and came up saying "content file locked" now i have had this problem in the past with other games and i fixed it by checking my quarantined files on my anti virus this time there wasn't any quarantined files and the file that it is saying is content blocked isn't even in the game files, i tried uninstalling and reinstalling and even deleting the files in the steam folder and letting steam reinstall them still the same problem....... any help would be amazing at this point ...... sorry for such a long paragraph lol

light mesa
gaunt cargo
#

Omg thank you so much the work like a charm

light mesa
#

no problem!

balmy falcon
#

@gritty token I followed the solution for voice chat (deleting the vivox folder) and my voice chat still isnt working

vivid pulsar
#

@balmy falcon May have to wait until Datnicka or another Tech Wizard gets back. The two solutions I showed you are about the extent of my knowledge on these Vivox issues.

light mesa
#

Same, I don't think we can do any more. It's Vivox's issue

soft orchid
#

is there a fix for the voicechat error (8) 6-0?

tired tangle
#

foxhole voice chat error 8 6-0

#

am i the only one epxeriencing this issue?

#

guess not lol

inner basin
#

errr no

#

90% of this channel is about the voice errors

#

and frankly, me and the other Tech Wizards are sick of this Vivox bs

tired tangle
#

is voice chat just straightup broken

#

for everyone

inner basin
#

It's just that Vivox is quite broken, and the error codes are useless to us since we don't know what they mean

tired tangle
#

oh, ok

inner basin
#

But uh

#

Let's see

tired tangle
#

tried deleting appdata and reinstalling

inner basin
#

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

#

Also:

  1. Double check that your voice devices are set up correctly in the game settings under Voice
  2. Hit the reconnect button, maybe it'll work for once out of the bajillion times I've told people
molten peak
#

Went through that whole process Blade. Didn't fix it. Also reinstalled the game as well as uninstalled and reinstalled my headset drivers. Works in Discord, Windows, and PUBG. I have to assume it's something on Vivox's end.

inner basin
#

You gotta be kiddin me. PUBG uses Vivox too hbjoy

tired tangle
#

ye

#

not working

#

thx anyways

#

time to play siege i guess

inner basin
#

gonna log for the night, if you still need help tomorrow ping me

#

@tired tangle

tired tangle
#

ok, seems like a vivox error we cant fix

#

servers

#

thanks anyways, if i could commend you i would

molten peak
#

I'm doing some more digging to see if it's something in local files that is causing it. I'll let you know if I find anything,

tired tangle
#

thx

molten peak
#

Well, I've exhausted all I can think of. I dug through my registry to see if there was bad registry key I could delete, no dice. Checked the config files in %appdata% and it doesn't appear I can do much with that. I'm stumped on this one. It's gotta be on Vivox's end, or there's just a corrupt file somewhere in the chain outside of my local computer that's causing the issue. I also tried a few more fixes within Windows settings to no avail.

#

Hey folks. Anyone else getting connecting to voice chat server errors?

#

Oh it seems I'm not the only one. Hmm

terse flume
#

I have been told that the devs know about it and are looking at it

#

The issue is on Vivox's end

neon ridge
#

Yeahh im not gonna play until its fixed cause no one knows how to use local chat

@opal estuary
If you are having issues with Vivox, try to delete the following folder, which contains two vivox .dll's.

@opal estuary dw the voice thing is VIVOX issue

#

not the game issues unfortunately

#

just keep on trying the ways given

opal estuary
#

viral fractal
#

Well did the same thing still no result :c tried uninstalling reinstalling seems like we cannot fix it :c

dense lion
#

can someone help me with a voice chat problem?

near crypt
#

Hello! Does anyone know if I can make the chat font anywhere larger? Or the UI in general, though chat is the worst, I can't read it it at all.

#

I'm completely knew so I also don't know how important the text chat is. If it can be just ignored, that is fine too.

dense lion
#

i think the text chat is pretty important

inner basin
#

What's your VC problem?

#

@near crypt The game resolution plays a part into how big or small the chat font is

dense lion
#

It jus says error when i try to connect to the local voice chat, ive tried reconnecting and restarting the game but nothing really works

inner basin
#

Try playing on different screen sizes

near crypt
#

I tried setting way lower resolution, did not notice change in chat. Did restart the game to be sure the setting had applied.

inner basin
#

@dense lion By reconnecting, you mean clicking the Reconnect button in the settings right?

dense lion
#

yea

inner basin
#

@dense lion Scroll up for my long post. Try that

#

The one where you have to delete the DLL.

dense lion
#

you mean this one?: 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

inner basin
#

yes

dense lion
#

okay

#

thanks

#

so do i delete the file named VivoxCoreLibrary? Just checking

#

or do i delete the 2 .dlls in the folder named: ortp.dll and vivoxsdk.dll

#

@inner basin

#

ok i did what you said

#

lemme open Foxhole

#

godamnit

#

it didnt work

#

what do i do now

molten peak
#

Still getting the same problem here

inner basin
#

was in the bathroom 😄 @dense lion

dense lion
#

ah no problem

inner basin
#

errr both of you, try Verify Game Files through Steam

molten peak
#

Unistalled, reinstalled both the game and headset drivers. Deleted that folder and verified integrity.

inner basin
#

wow

#

You're on top of your troubleshooting 😄

molten peak
#

Yeah. Multiple times since 3:30PM CST yesterday.

inner basin
#

I do really feel bad for y'all. Because for (I guess) most of the players, their VC works

#

I hate Vivox

dense lion
#

my VC worked yesterday

inner basin
#

But since it works flawlessly in Fortnite, there must be something with the integration in Foxhole

#

I mean, one extreme step would be to install Fortnite lmao

molten peak
#

What's odd is that it worked yesterday morning at 9:30AM CST. I hopped off about 11:30AM and by the time I got back on at 3:30PM it wasn't working.

inner basin
#

But we're not gonna do that

#

err, have you both restarted your router?

#

This is a network issue probably

dense lion
#

no

#

hmmm

#

thats what i was wondering

molten peak
#

What's odd is it works in everything else including PUBG which, from what I understand, uses Vivox

inner basin
#

Yes PUBG uses Vivox

molten peak
#

I'll give that a swing though. Hadn't thought of that.

inner basin
#

It works for you on there?

molten peak
#

Yep, no issues.

inner basin
#

See, must be something up with Foxhole's integration

molten peak
#

and Fortnite is installed ;))

dense lion
#

VC worked for both of us yesterday

#

hmmmmmm

molten peak
#

Back in a few, I'll see if the router fixes it.

dense lion
#

ok

#

if it works for you ill do it also

#

cuz were both having the same problem

inner basin
#

You should do it too.

#

You both probably don't have the same router

dense lion
#

no we dont

inner basin
#

So, different configurations, firewalls, etc.

dense lion
#

yea

#

problem

#

is

#

that i have 2 brothers and who need internet

#

and theyre not having internet problems

#

so i need to ask them if its fine to restart it

inner basin
#

They can't survive for 2 minutes? That's how long it usually takes

dense lion
#

if they say no i cant

inner basin
#

heh, lemme guess, they're older

dense lion
#

*younger

inner basin
#

what? use your supreme authority over them coloniallol

dense lion
#

ok

#

ill wait for priest

inner basin
#

It's just 2 minutes man, tell 'em that

dense lion
#

if it works for him ill do it

#

i dont want to restart it for nothing if it takes forever to get them to agree lmao

inner basin
#

Alright, fair enough

molten peak
#

No dice

inner basin
#

darn it

#

What stumps me is that it worked for both of you at one point. Then Vivox went all "nope"

molten peak
#

I dug around last night in my registry to see if there was an invalid registry that I could delete and have the computer reset that registry value but I couldn't find Foxhole anywhere in there, nor Vivox. Tried flipping off the Windows setting that said "Allow programs to take exclusive control of device" in the advanced recording section of my Sound settings.

inner basin
#

I'm curious

#

Can someone navigate to this folder and tell me what they find

#

C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Local\Foxhole\Saved\Logs

#

Mine's empty because I don't play Foxhole on my laptop

molten peak
#

Empty

#

I could swear I had some in there yesterday though. I looked...

#

Let me see if hopping into a map and not just home island generates anything.

inner basin
#

Alright. Yeah spam the voice key

molten peak
#

Yep...nothing. Let me try going driving to another province...that generates a different error than [8] 6-0

inner basin
#

All these error codes but no documentation for troubleshooters

dense lion
#

hmmmmmm

#

this is difficult

#

ive never had such a problem in my life

molten peak
#

Nothing.

#

Oddly enough, I'm getting less errors today.

#

By less, I mean, I'm not seeing some of the 5045 or 5036 errors I saw yesterday.

dense lion
#

im shit at fixing system errors

molten peak
#

I did tech support for 4 years, this stuff is right up my alley, but I cannot think of anything else I can do on my end to make it work short of reinstalling the operating system...which isn't happening.

#

Let's think outside of the box for a second...let me try a straight line in mic. I'll have to dig the chords and whatnot out.

#

Nope. Doesn't work with a completely different microphone either.

dense lion
#

i cant think of anything that could fix this problem

#

If anything doesnt work, ill wait for a patch and see if that fixes anything

molten peak
#

Yeah, it's extraordinarily difficult to play as a logi without voice chat.

#

Can't coordinate operations...

dense lion
#

yea and its also fun as hell to talk with other people

#

i found that as one of the core parts that makes this game fun

#

i tried playing it without voice chat today

molten peak
#

Yep

dense lion
#

i jus wasnt fun at all

#

it felt boring

molten peak
#

Yep, it's that time.

#

I'm going to try something completely out of the box...

#

But yeah, I'm popping over to bug report

dense lion
#

ok so im gonna take a shower

#

if you discover anything DM me

molten peak
#

Will do

viral fractal
#

Same with me tried the solutions nothing worked ..yesterday it started appearing out of nowhere before that everything worked no worries nothing could use voice hopped off played another game came back later puff it didnt work anymore o-ô biggest wtf ever.

terse flume
#

Getting Voice Chat errors such as [8] 6-0

#

Any help?

inner basin
#

Nobody knows what the error codes mean unfortunately

#

Try this

terse flume
#

I don't think it's my microphone, it worked before on foxhole.

inner basin
#

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

#

Short of that, try reinstalling Foxhole.

terse flume
#

Gotcha.

#

If the advice above doesn't work I'll just reinstall the game.

molten peak
#

Just to summarize what I've tried at this point for people popping in with the same problem. NOTE, none of this worked.
Tried: 1) Uninstalling and reinstalling game
2) Uninstalling and reinstalling headset drivers
3) Using line in microphone instead of USB
4) Deleting Vivox folder and verifying integrity
5) Checked log files in Foxhole appdata folder (none present)
6) Checked registry to see if there was a bad registry key that I could delete and have the computer replace (none present)

terse flume
#

Mine was literally working last night.

#

At 12:00 AM

#

Mine broke at approximately 3:30PM CST yesterday

#

And it started yesterday

#

No recent updates right?

molten peak
#

Negative. KFC said they are aware and trying to work on it, but zero updates.

terse flume
#

Damnit.

#

Well, deleting the DLLs did not work.

#

So I'll try reinstalling the game.

molten peak
#

Good luck.

#

Thanks, you too.

Let me try updating the router to the latest firmware...

hi i just got the game and i am having some issues , regarding connectivity issues. every 30 secs or so after i join the server i get disconnected which is a shame because i like the idea of the game

anyone can help me out ?

@vagrant burrow Check the pinned message regarding network issues

#

@onyx mango Hey, can you give me more info? What error message are you encountering?

onyx mango
#

I get nothing I just doesnt responds

#

no crashes etc,I wait for like 30 minutes

#

its weird only does this sometimes

inner basin
#

Verify the game files,
or restart Steam,
or reinstall Foxhole

blissful sequoia
#

is there anything common with the people having voice chat problems? using voicemeeter perhaps or some external component (like hyper-v months ago)? somebody i was responding to with this problem 2 days ago had voicemeeter installed, so...

wheat solar
#

i use voicemeeter

#

however today is the first instance where voice chat has not worked for me

blissful sequoia
#

he had the same problem

#

if you have the problem, and voicemeeter, uninstalling it would be a simple test 🤷

sly mortar
#

No, voicemeeter is not a problem unless you set it up wrong. Currently the problem seems to be on Vivox’s end

blissful sequoia
#

but just for some of us? was looking for something common; you guys leaning towards it being a network issue?

tiny river

As expected, reinstalling the game did not solve the voice chat issue. Think I'm giving up on this for today.

sly mortar
#

@blissful sequoia because a lot of people started having it at around the same time, yeah. Sadly. Mostly because if the pinned messages don’t fix it, there isn’t much else to try that we know of right know

inner basin
#

haha @blissful sequoia you were there for the Hyper-V incident

blissful sequoia
#

yea i had hyper-v

wheat solar
#

it's not all that enjoyable without voice guidance so just trying again later

sly mortar
#

Hmm

#

Did you do all the stuff in the pins?

wheat solar
#

that it worked flawlessly before and suddenly ceased, is not an indication of wrong settings

#

especially arcane settings

sly mortar
#

Did you do all the stuff in the pins?

wheat solar
#

nope

sly mortar
#

Did you do any of them?

neon ridge
#

+1 to the VC issue

haughty smelt
#

Another +1 VC issue

molten peak
#

I ran through all the Pins Icanari, nothing worked.

onyx mango
#

@inner basin already verified them shall I reinstall?

inner basin
#

try that yes

#

Anybody have tips for Foxhole not responding after 30 seconds?

sly mortar
#

Hmm

steep lava
#

+1 on VC issue

blissful sequoia
#

like an occasional crash, @inner basin?

sly mortar
#

If you are having VC issues, please try the third pin from the top, if that doesn’t work please start complaining to @hot oak

molten peak
#

For Voice Chat error I have tried:

  1. Uninstalling and reinstalling game
  2. Uninstalling and reinstalling headset drivers
  3. Using line in microphone instead of USB
  4. Deleting Vivox folder and verifying integrity
  5. Checked log files in Foxhole appdata folder (none present)
  6. Checked registry to see if there was a bad registry key that I could delete and have the computer replace (none present)
  7. SIP ALG off

I'm at a loss as what to try next.

inner basin
#

@blissful sequoia that is what @onyx mango is having problems with

molten peak
#

I've already notified KFC yesterday afternoon.

blissful sequoia
#

i dont think his is a common one

onyx mango
#

OK,I restarted my computer and it runs but,It takes a minute.

blissful sequoia
#

thats normal

sly mortar
#

Crashing after time? Put in older video drivers. Which card do you have @onyx mango

neon ridge
#

@molten peak Tried all of those too nothing is working

#

It worked last night and then today when I got on it wasn't

onyx mango
#

graphics you mean ? I dont have too much info

sly mortar
#

Could you go to your windows search bar, and type DXDIAG and run that? Then check what the name of the graphics card is?

onyx mango
#

oh it was 1050 TI,other says intel HD graphincs 360

blissful sequoia
#

hrm wonder if these people have a separate audio hardware or theyre using the video card's hdmi

onyx mango
#

I have to go thanks for attention,I will try to solve it later ,

#

but I had 2 video bars on top

#

I can't translate well

hot oak
#

Hey guys - yes we're aware of the VC issues. I'll be sure to bring it up with the team when they come in tomorrow

blissful sequoia
#

was there a foxhole update in the last day or two? like between the wars?

sly mortar
#

No

#

Devs were out of office

terse flume
#

ttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt

blissful sequoia
#

I heard some people saying they reinstalled audio drivers and it fixed, did you get any of the same reports here? maybe that was a different bug

muted parrot
#

I see we're discussing VC bugs. Is there a fix for "Voice Chat Error [8] 6-0"?

#

I've tried the delete Vixvox folders

#

then do all that. It doesn't seem to work

blissful sequoia
#

no fix

#

but satisfy my curiosity - I'm curious about your system; how many sound devices does your computer have, what are they, and what are their sample rates set to?

#

and do you have any virtual cable stuff?

muted parrot
#

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

#

Where would I find all that?

blissful sequoia
#

sound control panel

muted parrot
#

ok I'm in it now

#

where would I find everything else

blissful sequoia
#

what is the name of the one with the green check mark on it

#

the default sound device

wheat solar
#

It's not related to root-cause anyway

muted parrot
#

ah

#

I don't know

#

I have a strange sound set up

blissful sequoia
#

this is what im suspecting. tell us about it

muted parrot
#

gotta discover where it is.

#

I have devices that can produce and recieve sound. It counts at 5

#

My keyboard, Headset, microphone, monitors

#

so 4*

blissful sequoia
#

keyboard is like usb sound device? or just a stereo cable passthrough?

muted parrot
#

Let me check once more

blissful sequoia
#

eh probably doesnt matter - which one is the default device for playback?

muted parrot
#

Defualt device for play back is G430 Headset

blissful sequoia
#

under properties for it, advanced, whats the sample rate set to?

muted parrot
#

It does not say, I'm in advanced but all it says is Default Format (Audio Quality) and Exclusive Mode what this thing can do exclusively

blissful sequoia
#

oh it must be locked to like 1 sample rate

#

and under the recording tab, your default recording device?

muted parrot
#

yup Speakers Logitech G430 Gaming Headset Default device. Thats what it says with a green checkmark next to it

blissful sequoia
#

sure sounds pretty straight forward

#

and youre not one of the people with sound drop software or virtual audio cable, right?

muted parrot
#

no

blissful sequoia
#

is it just the default basic windows drivers for the headset or is it the logitech g430 software?

#

i wonder if everyone having this problem has a headset?

wheat solar
#

why does it matter, the device handle is opened universally

blissful sequoia
#

do you have a headset? is it surround sound?

cunning ore
#

hey guys

#

how do you hear voices in game, i keep getting an error

#

Voice Chat Error [2] 2-5045

Check the third pinned message

#

before the new war, i could hear, but i can't now

kk ty

terse flume
#

@inner basin It's happening again

#

Was only a temporary fix

#

Voice Chat Error [8] 6-0

tiny river
#

Walked away for a an hour and now my voice chat works fine. It TRULY seems random. I have not restarted my computer or anything since my last post.

cunning ore
#

ok, i did all the steps, and it didn't work at all

#

i even reinstalled

blissful sequoia
#

is there a DNS setting step in that pin #3? i looked through it but didn't see one

cunning ore
#

no

blissful sequoia
#

has anyone tried that? just trying to think of things that would affect only some people

#

although i imagine somebody would have discovered that as the problem in the first hour if it was

cunning ore
#

for reference, Voice Chat Error [2] 2-5045

blissful sequoia
#

but other games that use vivox have had dns issues before

timid dagger
#

I keep getting "failed to download shard info" whenever I refresh

#

Followed by "lost connection to server" when I press join the war

#

Any help?

blissful sequoia
#

now that might be DNS too

#

someone just had that problem last night and fixed it with setting their dns to google (8.8.8.8/8.8.4.4)

timid dagger
#

I'll give it a shot

blissful sequoia
#

when all you have is a hammer everything looks like a nail...

cunning ore
#

what does that mean?

#

how would i do that?

molten peak
#

What's odd Derp is that PUBG and Fortnite in game chat work without issue and it is my understanding they both use Vivox.

inner basin
#

@gritty token @sly mortar I'm considering sending a personal email to Vivox at this point

gritty token
#

I dont think Vivox has the error coding

#

It is probably SaaS to where you just get the files needed and you have to build the intergration

sly mortar
#

^

#

I’m considering pinging Krazy until he gives me a straight answer on where the error codes come from

neon ridge
#

Vivox is so broken and all these "Solutions" are temporary

blissful sequoia
#

enti0, you set the primary dns server in windows, uhh ill look for the link

cunning ore
#

kk

blissful sequoia
#

the dns for google is 8.8.8.8

sly quiver
#

however i would recommend 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1

#

its cloudflares dns servers

#

there are generally faster and has more privacy

blissful sequoia
#

yea if you want cloudflare to track you instead of google, use that i guess?

sly quiver
#

cloudflare doesn't really have an incentive to track you tho

blissful sequoia
#

riiiiight

#

they just like hosting dns for free because its fun

#

either way i trust them both more than my ISP

inner basin
#

Or you could just use Quad9

blissful sequoia
#

is it like an onion router for dns queries?

cunning ore
#

voice chat works now

#

i redid the same operation

#

wasn't to do with the DNS

inner basin
#

Quad9 is a DNS server that has privacy in mind

gritty token
#

Open DNS is my favorite

inner basin
#

unlike google ahem

gritty token
#

208.x.x.x something

neon ridge
#

@cunning ore Thanks for telling us

timid dagger
#

The DNS thing doesn't work for me as of yet :(

sly mortar
#

Eh, the reason we use google for testing is because it has a ton of stuff in it, and because it isn’t really blocked by much

#

Alright, there is a pinned message titled “Troubleshooting Network-Related Issues” do the stuff it says @timid dagger

gritty token
#

@timid dagger are you in a dorm by any chance?

timid dagger
#

I am. But I am using my mobile hotspot specifically for games

#

Isn't played another game and it ran fine using the same internet

#

@sly mortar I've done the stuff in the pinned message which are relevant to me and it's still the same :/

sly mortar
#

Do all of the stuff in it, no matter if it is relevant or not. Network issues are strange, and even if it may seem to not be the correct fix, it may actually be

timid dagger
#

No like.. I don't have an ethernet port and such ahaha

sly mortar
#

...

#

Uh

gritty token
#

No no

#

Mobile hotspots do not normally work for games

#

if you are having issues with steam too, the mobile hot spot is to blame.

#

We have had someone with the same issue before

sly mortar
#

hint: ethernet

timid dagger
#

I'll give it a go once I have a proper accessible WiFi. My university blocks steam so can't do much here.

idle apex
#

voice chat error 06 I NEED HELP PLS :((((

timid dagger
#

Thanks guys! You've been extremely engaging.

sly mortar
#

@timid dagger try using a free VPN

#

it might be slow, but it should work with foxhole

blissful sequoia
#

itll fix all your steam stuff really, shouldnt be slow at a university

#

sstp VPN or openvpn on port 443 will get out through firewall

sour vortex
#

Hey can somebody help me? I just bought and installed the game and every time I try and run it I just get a black screen that eventually goes away and leaves me with nothing. I'm not sure what to do.

flat hill
#

Voice chat error (8) 6-0

#

😦

light mesa
#

@flat hill See the pinned message regarding the issue

flat hill
#

np, already fixed

#

😃

#

What I found from the developer:
Try it.
Go to Users% username% \ AppData \ Local
Locate the foxhole folder and delete it.
Clear your cache.
Try again. If still not working:
Reinstall Foxhole.

#

use CCleaner

#

to clean cache

light mesa
#

You don't need to delete the whole game, just the Vivox files

flat hill
#

oh okey

#

thx you

inner basin
#

@sour vortex How does it eventually "go away"

sly mortar
#

^

sour vortex
#

Just crashes I think

#

I'm not particularly knowledgeable about pc gaming, pretty new to it so sorry if I seem like a buffoon.

sly mortar
#

Try updating your graphics drivers and making sure that Foxhole is using your GPU

sour vortex
#

How do I make sure it is using my gpu?

coarse path
#

@sour vortex using a desktop? (Make sure it's plugged into the graphics card directly, not to the motherboard

opaque trellis
#

the voice chat bug is game breaking

#

how should i play if i can't speak nor hear in voice chat??

cunning ore
#

I got the voice-issue to work by deleting the folder under that pinned comment, restart computer, and verify cache

sour vortex
#

@coarse path I'm running on a laptop

coarse path
#

Right click desktop > Display settings > Advanced Display settings > Should list something like "DIsplay 1: Connected to NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960" for example

sour vortex
#

Yes that's all good. I've tried running it In compatability mode as well as verifying game files and nothing has worked, just a black screen and crash after a few minutes.

#

Does anybody else have any ideas on how to fix this?

rotund pike
#

I need help, I'm getting an error where i cant talk

#

or hear anyone

blissful sequoia
#

so the answer really is in the pinned message hm?

molten peak
#

Same problem here Alex. Trying another fix now, I'll let you know if it works.

rotund pike
#

thanks man!

molten peak
#

I don't think so Derp, I've done that three or four times now...

blissful sequoia
#

I've heard like 3 people report it works, hm...

rotund pike
#

where is it in the pin???

molten peak
#

Yeah, that's what is so dang confusing to me.

#

I'm now reinstalling for the 4th time today. Trying the run CCleaner fix someone mentioned above.

rotund pike
#

it was working fine today, I had the same issue last night but I just restarted my pc and it fixed it

idle apex
#

pls any help me white the voice chat error 8 06

quartz rose
#

go into options and go to voice and click reconnect?

rotund pike
#

Any word from the devs??

#

@quartz rose I tried that, nothing

blissful sequoia
#

3:29 PM] enti0: I got the voice-issue to work by deleting the folder under that pinned comment, restart computer, and verify cache

molten peak
#

@rotund pike I let KFC know yesterday. He also popped in earlier to say that he will talk with his team when they get into the office tomorrow.

rotund pike
#

yeah but.. It got fixed last night by restarting my pc, I dont want to play with folder information @blissful sequoia

blissful sequoia
#

well thats how some people are fixing it

quartz rose
#

shut down steam completely and use the desktop shortcut of foxhole that also sometimes works

rotund pike
#

let me try

quartz rose
#

or at least it did a few wars back

rotund pike
#

wait..

#

This has been going on for a long time??

quartz rose
#

every now and then

#

not that often

#

I've only had it like 3 times these past 5 wars

rotund pike
#

i've been getting it often, 3 times in a few days

#

unlucky i guess lol

quartz rose
#

if it doesn't work try verifying the game files

rotund pike
#

yeah it didnt, i'ma try that

quartz rose
#

ok
