@gritty token my VC isnt working, people can hear me but i cant hear people
please help
windows 10
Did you check the pin about allowing permissions for audio devices for foxhole?
Here is the link
Please do, then come back with results
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
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
Awesome, just trying to make sure we fill out documentation with fixes, thank you.
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.
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.
Alright, thank you!
No problem!
The best place to go for that answer is #foxhole-discussion @lost cosmos ! 😄
Screens glitching. turning. and flipping nonstop
its just this one time. Im confident if i relog it would fix it but I dont want to wait in an hour que
It may have been a in-game bug, could you document it by any chance and post it to #bug-reports
I have no way to record video?
Id like to help but you need to walk me through it
@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.
@terse flume if you relog within 15 minutes of leaving a region you don’t have to wait in queue
Awesome thanks man
No @light mesa. That's only if you region travel.
If you log out it will not save your spot.
I did it last night, it worked
Then the region didn't have a queue, because it has been specifically stated that on log out your spot is not saved.
Will the fix the queue? bc if that is normal, population will drop
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
Well lets hope that happens and we keep them
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
can i get some help
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.
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]/)
i keep getting an error code whenever i try to talk
Anyone know how to fix this?
Nevermind, had to redownload the game.
Nevermind about that nevermind, that did not work.
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
He creado un servidor de habla hispana, interesados preguntar por privado
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.
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?
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
@indigo cargo
try plugging off the device which you aren't using
im using a usb w/o mic plugs
@indigo cargo Without or with?
without
Is everything in your foxhole settings set up to recognize your devices?
@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
Hi! I am thinking about getting the game but, I am not sure if I can run it at a decent fps, any thoughts?
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
@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
Download "DirectX Runtime" , Might be that some of your directX files might be leaking memory or something (my guess)
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.
@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.
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.
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% +
Nope
CPU goes to a 5%
memory 28% (with other things open)
and where do I look at for my GPU?
What operating system do you have?
windows 10
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.
@terse flume What is your problem? What do you need help with?
my game freezes, but i can still interact
Any error messages?
and if i get out and in again it updates the current frame
no eroor messeges
error*
messages*
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
So, enable it 😄
my computer is new
Hm, try going to Windows Update then
i got it 2weeks ago
Go to performance and check there
not there iether
Can you make sure your graphics card is actually plugged in?
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.
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
???
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
If you need further assistance, we're just a ping away @terse flume !
Thank you very much
I'll actually look into the whole "organization restriction" thing because it affected me too
Are you on enterprise or home
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
Will do
@terse flume
i am watching the very same tutorial right now
How's it going?
it is not working
i have tried that 3 times now
You wouldn't have gpedit.msc if you're on a Windows 10 Home License though
ASRock? Did you build this PC yourself?
nonononoon DO NOT ALLOW TELEMETRY
Telemetry is BAD
ok
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
yeah i saw that and i believe that is the main issue
excuse me for my English, i am from Croatia
When you sign into your computer, are you logging into your Windows Account, or are you logging into the Computer's Local Account
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
Ran your error code and this is what i found.
Also found this: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2617842/0x80070422-error-message-when-you-try-to-enable-windows-firewall
Discusses a "0x80070422" error message that occurs when you try to enable Windows Firewall in Internet Explorer 9. Provides three methods to help you resolve this issue. These methods include scanning for malware and installing the latest Windows Updates.
oh i am way past that problem. i somehow have no access to services, and i REALLY need those to fix this
You need to run administrator access
You can do it from CMD or by right clicking something
tried that, didnt work
what does it say when trying to change services, also have you talked to microsoft support?
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
fingeres crossed
fingers*
best of luck
how can I switch to colonial? I accidentally chose warden
is foxhole supposed to let you choose a new side everytime you re-open the game??

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

@upper sluice yes, but it locks you to one side
great thanks
My problem is fixed . Thank you all so much.
@sly mortar everytime I re-open the game it lets me re-choose xD
I'm not locked at all
@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
Guys
i need some help
I want to reduce the Window size of the game
but every time i change the map/travel to another, he returns to the normal size, and the resolution, i have a bad computer, so i reduce the resolution to play, but every time i change/travel to another map, the resolution goes back to normal
i hate this
can i change permanently the settings to not change?
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.
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?
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.
I'm having the good ol' Voice Chat bug. In game sound is fine, everythings set to the correct device, and its enabled, and at full volume, but I can't hear any other players talking; I have no idea how to fix it...
And I fixed it by turning it off, leaving it for a few minutes, and turning it back on...
Discord moderation question
How do I pin a message to be what people have to see before scrolling down to see most recent messages. I pinned it but does it actually show it pinned up to top or is it easy to scroll past?
Hello victims people
how do I recconect to a region with no friendly bases if my internet connection temporarily cut out for 30 seconds?
when ever i join the war maps my audio dies, it has only began this recently when i begn using my headphones
@narrow escarp The more recently pinned message will show up at the top of the pinned message list
@stark vector You can't join a region without any friendly spawn points sadly
@snow carbon Try verifying the game files through Steam
ok
@snow carbon Does this happen when you join the Home Region?
@inner basin it is fine in the home region, but only walking and such work, the mic system never works with headphones for me
By audio you mean the whole game audio and not just voice chat, right?
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?
@next bear I have the same issue
annoying stuff
I have already tried checking game files integrity, have checked steam voice settings and in-game settings but had no luck repairing it
what operating system?
Windows 10
ok, I looked through pinned posts and this one worked out: https://steamcommunity.com/app/505460/discussions/1/2590022385656048864/
@shut radish read the pinned messages please
Hello, where can I get a mod or a dev ? our battle tank is glitched and out of control, we need help
@prisma breach ?
@next bear Check voice/sound setting in-game. I had an issue where all normal sound was coming through my headset, and voice through my speakers. There's an option in one of those settings menus to select where audio is coming from.
@shadow delta what do you need?
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
The website said that if i needed help to msg technical chat
Yes, so what is the problem?
I did a mod mail already
So I am waiting for a response
But I am getting off now so I am checking for it tomorrow
If it is a technical issue, modmail wont do anything
If you need help with moderation, then you go to modmail @shadow delta
Hey I just got the game and when I click to join Wardens it says Lost connection to the server
My game crashed while mining sulfur
and i can't launch it again
getting this error
tried restarting, no change.
Validated cache. Fixed now.
When I try to travel with my truck it says ''Lost connection''
WIth or without my truck
I can't travel
I get that every time
Lost connection to the server, try again later
<@&521124241395941396> Sorry for the ping but it makes the game impossible to be played
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
ok yea just restart router leave it unplugged for 1 minute
then try
should help a bit
well I have 2 more options but then im out of ideals
1 restart computer
2 re-install foxhole
1 done
2 will do
if doesnt work might be something wrong with ur game and u might need to contact mods or someone else
still having issues?
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
Good point lol
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
xD
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)
Okay, what operating system do you have?
W10
I think it may be worth putting in custom DNS servers on the internet adapter
Do you know how?
I can give you instructions
No idea
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
So make sure to select "Ethernet adapter"
And ask you for the right one
Fine with me 😄
Thank you very much
Thanks!
@ me if you need help 😄
I want to start with the same faction as my friend. I want technical help
@cosmic citrus have you already chosen a faction?
yes

I can't hear the in game voice chat still, I can't find a way to fix it was a fix ever found?
Well, there are multiple problems. Is there an error appearing in the chat box?
Last time I played I don't think I saw one.
No there is no error in the voice chat @sly mortar
Oh I found my problem,
Alright, what is it?
Voice Chat Error [8] 6 -0
Refreshing, reconnecting, restarting client fails
Time to get a new mic?
Highlight of the actual war
@ionic sundial try the third pinned message
Will try, ty
@terse flume you said you couldn’t hear voice chat?
Am here
Here's my problem:
I can't hear game chat and voice chat - when one works, the other doesn't
Alright
I'm using a bluetooth headset, with separate stereo and hands-free mic*
Make sure that both are using the correct output
Kk
This is my usual input
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
Hmm, foxhole doesn’t seem to like complicated stuff for this, does it work at all when on the same output?
Yes, it works when on the same output
Do both parts work?
When both Windows and Foxhole have "S-250 Hands-Free" as output, Foxhole works
In both Playback and Recording
So you can hear and speak with that?
(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
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
Understood
I'm hoping that input and output can be different sometime in the future. That would make my headphones work fabulously
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
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
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
@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
Would this explain the quality?
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
Kk
I'm not surprised, because this specific speaker output is meant for phone calls. General bluetooth shenanigans
but 16khz is already maybe a reason the sound quality isnt great
I'll give soundpad a go
it will pick up voice up to 8khz, so you cant blow your slide whistle
Alright, what do you need help with?
Currently reinstalling the game
Okay, what was the problem?
Well basically everytime I tried to boot the game up it said I needed visual C++ 2015
Ah
So I installed/reinstalled it a couple of times but it still asked for it
There is a pinned message for “missing c++ executable” which you should check
@hot oak any official comment on why we removed the ability to unstuck vehicles by getting in and out fast
@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
@hot oak Anything about Vivox bullshit being fixed? 
@hot oak PLEASE! Fix the damn thing
just do it already
it's becoming painful at this point
@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
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
well no rush i'm sure its just going to end up loudly spamming music in battles heh
@blissful sequoia Well yeah, what did you think having Voicemeeter was for? 
In a 6 LT tank column rushing BTs? Better get some Sabaton going
I think he actually said it was for home region lol
@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
I just have to mute them all, their music blares over mine at startling 16khz quality
Hello ! Servers are down ? Impossible to join world !
reeeee
Servers aren't down just the server caps are waaay too small
oarbreaker anf fishermans have gone down. it was announced in game
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?
Same problem here Tatertot
@community - Getting no voice chat. Reinstalled game & reinstalled drivers. Works in Windows and Discord without issue.
Error [2] 2-5045
Error [8] 6-0 when I attempt to use it. It was working less than 3 hours ago.
Same problem here
hi, not sure where to post this...but I done messed up...all my buddies went green and I clicked blue...what are the chances of getting switched? pretty bummed
DM @coarse trail
roger ty
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
@gaunt cargo Try this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M6vBNQk0rNA
A short tutorial on how to fix the "content file locked" & "an error ocurred while updating" error messages. Remember to restart your PC after using the comm...
Omg thank you so much the work like a charm
no problem!
@gritty token I followed the solution for voice chat (deleting the vivox folder) and my voice chat still isnt working
@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.
Same, I don't think we can do any more. It's Vivox's issue
is there a fix for the voicechat error (8) 6-0?
foxhole voice chat error 8 6-0
am i the only one epxeriencing this issue?
guess not lol
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
It's just that Vivox is quite broken, and the error codes are useless to us since we don't know what they mean
oh, ok
tried deleting appdata and reinstalling
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:
- Double check that your voice devices are set up correctly in the game settings under Voice
- Hit the reconnect button, maybe it'll work for once out of the bajillion times I've told people
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.
You gotta be kiddin me. PUBG uses Vivox too 
ok, seems like a vivox error we cant fix
servers
thanks anyways, if i could commend you i would
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,
thx
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
I have been told that the devs know about it and are looking at it
The issue is on Vivox's end
Yeahh im not gonna play until its fixed cause no one knows how to use local chat
is that thing fixed fast normally, I mean the error 6-0 and 2-5045?
Voice Chat Error [2] 2-5045" pls help
rip same :c
So everyone have that problem not only "choosen" ones? 😉
Looking through community highlights on the website (http://www.foxholegame.com/blog-1/community-highlights-37). Whenever a slideshow is used, images are zoomed in without possibility to zoom out (see pic). Using FF64, no plugins that should interfere. That a problem for other folks, too, or is it just me?
@quick socket I've passed that on in a private channel 👌 let's see what the devs say
Roger that, thanks.
voice chat connection lost... error..error....error.....error......error.....
@steep canopy Did you delete the DLLs
@opal estuary
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
lul
thank you, if this works you can have a cuppa tea
it did not work , im gonna go through the process again....
90% players in the game have his bug today, my friends have this too.
@opal estuary dw the voice thing is VIVOX issue
not the game issues unfortunately
just keep on trying the ways given
Well did the same thing still no result :c tried uninstalling reinstalling seems like we cannot fix it :c
can someone help me with a voice chat problem?
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.
i think the text chat is pretty important
What's your VC problem?
@near crypt The game resolution plays a part into how big or small the chat font is
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
Try playing on different screen sizes
I tried setting way lower resolution, did not notice change in chat. Did restart the game to be sure the setting had applied.
@dense lion By reconnecting, you mean clicking the Reconnect button in the settings right?
yea
@dense lion Scroll up for my long post. Try that
The one where you have to delete the DLL.
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
yes
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
Still getting the same problem here
was in the bathroom 😄 @dense lion
ah no problem
errr both of you, try Verify Game Files through Steam
Unistalled, reinstalled both the game and headset drivers. Deleted that folder and verified integrity.
Yeah. Multiple times since 3:30PM CST yesterday.
I do really feel bad for y'all. Because for (I guess) most of the players, their VC works
I hate Vivox
my VC worked yesterday
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
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.
But we're not gonna do that
err, have you both restarted your router?
This is a network issue probably
What's odd is it works in everything else including PUBG which, from what I understand, uses Vivox
Yes PUBG uses Vivox
I'll give that a swing though. Hadn't thought of that.
It works for you on there?
Yep, no issues.
See, must be something up with Foxhole's integration
and Fortnite is installed ;))
Back in a few, I'll see if the router fixes it.
no we dont
So, different configurations, firewalls, etc.
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
They can't survive for 2 minutes? That's how long it usually takes
if they say no i cant
heh, lemme guess, they're older
*younger
what? use your supreme authority over them 
It's just 2 minutes man, tell 'em that
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
Alright, fair enough
No dice
darn it
What stumps me is that it worked for both of you at one point. Then Vivox went all "nope"
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.
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
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.
Alright. Yeah spam the voice key
Yep...nothing. Let me try going driving to another province...that generates a different error than [8] 6-0
All these error codes but no documentation for troubleshooters
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.
im shit at fixing system errors
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.
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
Yeah, it's extraordinarily difficult to play as a logi without voice chat.
Can't coordinate operations...
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
Yep
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
Will do
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.
Getting Voice Chat errors such as [8] 6-0
I did get a strange one called https://gyazo.com/0ff3a966f1d63b2209d9daa472504953
Any help?
I don't think it's my microphone, it worked before on foxhole.
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.
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)
Mine broke at approximately 3:30PM CST yesterday
My friends have been having a lot of the same errors.
And it started yesterday
No recent updates right?
Negative. KFC said they are aware and trying to work on it, but zero updates.
Good luck.
Yep
Goodies.
Well lets pray for a hotfix im out of options ^oo^
holy shit
more and more people are getting this problem
so this prob started happening today
this is like seeing the world get infected lmao
Worked for me
I reinstalled the game
Guess it's luck
@inner basin
I can VC now
Welp, I guess I'll reinstall again.
ill also try that
that's great! @terse flume
trying again as well second time reinstalling :c
Didn't work
Ive been away, who all is having issues and what? I may be able to help
Voice chat not working.
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)
About to try the SIP ALG fix.
i know you guys have had this reportetd a million times, but just another one here for the voice chat bug
SIP ALG fix didn't work either
Let me try updating the router to the latest firmware...
WELL still doesnt work after reinstalling 2 times and doing every single step that got mentioned ...-__- rip
So, router firmware update did not fix the issue either.
pray to the devs there comes a hotfix ^oo^
Yep
My game is not starting,what should I do ?
Sometimes It starts but after that it is not responding
my VC works fine yesterday, but today... sometimes working, sometimes dont, i try reinstall the game, cleaning logs, deleting Vivox folder and nothing help
i dont play Fortnited or PUBG`s
and i dont play in Foxhole very long
voice chat error [8] 6-0? tried everything
@opaque trellis we jus gotta pray for a patch
+1 to the voice chat error. Worked fine all of yesterday until around 10 PM. Has not worked since despite many restarts and deleting the vivox files suggested by blade above and verifying files. None worked. Attempting reinstall now but I'm not holding out hope.
Error [2] 2-5045 and [8] 6-0
Seems to be popping up more and more Animosity.
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?
I get nothing I just doesnt responds
no crashes etc,I wait for like 30 minutes
its weird only does this sometimes
Verify the game files,
or restart Steam,
or reinstall Foxhole
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...
i use voicemeeter
however today is the first instance where voice chat has not worked for me
he had the same problem
if you have the problem, and voicemeeter, uninstalling it would be a simple test 🤷
No, voicemeeter is not a problem unless you set it up wrong. Currently the problem seems to be on Vivox’s end
but just for some of us? was looking for something common; you guys leaning towards it being a network issue?
As expected, reinstalling the game did not solve the voice chat issue. Think I'm giving up on this for today.
@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
haha @blissful sequoia you were there for the Hyper-V incident
yea i had hyper-v
it's not all that enjoyable without voice guidance so just trying again later
that it worked flawlessly before and suddenly ceased, is not an indication of wrong settings
especially arcane settings
Did you do all the stuff in the pins?
nope
Did you do any of them?
+1 to the VC issue
Another +1 VC issue
I ran through all the Pins Icanari, nothing worked.
@inner basin already verified them shall I reinstall?
Hmm
+1 on VC issue
like an occasional crash, @inner basin?
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
For Voice Chat error I have tried:
- Uninstalling and reinstalling game
- Uninstalling and reinstalling headset drivers
- Using line in microphone instead of USB
- Deleting Vivox folder and verifying integrity
- Checked log files in Foxhole appdata folder (none present)
- Checked registry to see if there was a bad registry key that I could delete and have the computer replace (none present)
- SIP ALG off
I'm at a loss as what to try next.
@blissful sequoia that is what @onyx mango is having problems with
I've already notified KFC yesterday afternoon.
i dont think his is a common one
OK,I restarted my computer and it runs but,It takes a minute.
thats normal
Crashing after time? Put in older video drivers. Which card do you have @onyx mango
@molten peak Tried all of those too nothing is working
It worked last night and then today when I got on it wasn't
graphics you mean ? I dont have too much info
Could you go to your windows search bar, and type DXDIAG and run that? Then check what the name of the graphics card is?
oh it was 1050 TI,other says intel HD graphincs 360
hrm wonder if these people have a separate audio hardware or theyre using the video card's hdmi
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
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
was there a foxhole update in the last day or two? like between the wars?
ttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt
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
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
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?
uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Where would I find all that?
sound control panel
what is the name of the one with the green check mark on it
the default sound device
It's not related to root-cause anyway
this is what im suspecting. tell us about it
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*
keyboard is like usb sound device? or just a stereo cable passthrough?
Let me check once more
eh probably doesnt matter - which one is the default device for playback?
Defualt device for play back is G430 Headset
under properties for it, advanced, whats the sample rate set to?
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
oh it must be locked to like 1 sample rate
and under the recording tab, your default recording device?
yup Speakers Logitech G430 Gaming Headset Default device. Thats what it says with a green checkmark next to it
sure sounds pretty straight forward
and youre not one of the people with sound drop software or virtual audio cable, right?
no
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?
why does it matter, the device handle is opened universally
do you have a headset? is it surround sound?
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
@inner basin It's happening again
Was only a temporary fix
Voice Chat Error [8] 6-0
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.
is there a DNS setting step in that pin #3? i looked through it but didn't see one
no
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
for reference, Voice Chat Error [2] 2-5045
but other games that use vivox have had dns issues before
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?
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)
I'll give it a shot
when all you have is a hammer everything looks like a nail...
What's odd Derp is that PUBG and Fortnite in game chat work without issue and it is my understanding they both use Vivox.
@gritty token @sly mortar I'm considering sending a personal email to Vivox at this point
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
^
I’m considering pinging Krazy until he gives me a straight answer on where the error codes come from
Vivox is so broken and all these "Solutions" are temporary
enti0, you set the primary dns server in windows, uhh ill look for the link
kk
@cunning ore this is what Datnicka posted yesterday: https://www.windowscentral.com/how-change-your-pcs-dns-settings-windows-10
the dns for google is 8.8.8.8
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
yea if you want cloudflare to track you instead of google, use that i guess?
cloudflare doesn't really have an incentive to track you tho
riiiiight
they just like hosting dns for free because its fun
either way i trust them both more than my ISP
Or you could just use Quad9
is it like an onion router for dns queries?
Quad9 is a DNS server that has privacy in mind
Open DNS is my favorite
unlike google ahem
208.x.x.x something
@cunning ore Thanks for telling us
The DNS thing doesn't work for me as of yet :(
Keep getting this and I'm not sure what to do anymore
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
@timid dagger are you in a dorm by any chance?
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
But my steam have been doing this quite a number of times when I want to get online
@sly mortar I've done the stuff in the pinned message which are relevant to me and it's still the same :/
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
No like.. I don't have an ethernet port and such ahaha
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
hint: ethernet
I'll give it a go once I have a proper accessible WiFi. My university blocks steam so can't do much here.
voice chat error 06 I NEED HELP PLS :((((
Thanks guys! You've been extremely engaging.
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
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 See the pinned message regarding the issue
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
You don't need to delete the whole game, just the Vivox files
@sour vortex How does it eventually "go away"
^
Just crashes I think
I'm not particularly knowledgeable about pc gaming, pretty new to it so sorry if I seem like a buffoon.
Try updating your graphics drivers and making sure that Foxhole is using your GPU
How do I make sure it is using my gpu?
@sour vortex using a desktop? (Make sure it's plugged into the graphics card directly, not to the motherboard
the voice chat bug is game breaking
how should i play if i can't speak nor hear in voice chat??
I got the voice-issue to work by deleting the folder under that pinned comment, restart computer, and verify cache
@coarse path I'm running on a laptop
Right click desktop > Display settings > Advanced Display settings > Should list something like "DIsplay 1: Connected to NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960" for example
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?
so the answer really is in the pinned message hm?
Same problem here Alex. Trying another fix now, I'll let you know if it works.
thanks man!
I don't think so Derp, I've done that three or four times now...
I've heard like 3 people report it works, hm...
where is it in the pin???
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.
it was working fine today, I had the same issue last night but I just restarted my pc and it fixed it
pls any help me white the voice chat error 8 06
go into options and go to voice and click reconnect?
3:29 PM] enti0: I got the voice-issue to work by deleting the folder under that pinned comment, restart computer, and verify cache
@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.
yeah but.. It got fixed last night by restarting my pc, I dont want to play with folder information @blissful sequoia
well thats how some people are fixing it
shut down steam completely and use the desktop shortcut of foxhole that also sometimes works
let me try
or at least it did a few wars back
if it doesn't work try verifying the game files
yeah it didnt, i'ma try that
ok
WOT
