kinda bummed out the devs havent fixed this :/
u may just have to wait or mess with the files
i'ma try the verifying part
Just to give you an overview Dark of what I've tried today...
- 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 has been turned off on the router
- Deleted Foxhole folder in %appdata% and used CCleaner
(Note: Restarted computer between all these attempts)
ok
hmm ok verify the files if that doesn't work it might be something on vivoxs end since they aren't the same thing as the the foxhole company
The only other thing I can think of on my end, as an ex-tech support agent, is to reinstall the operating system.
Also, an oddity. PUBG and Fortnite chat are working flawlessly and they both use Vivox.
didnt work
well one sec let me see something
?
I had youtube and discord in the background, i cancelled both and now it works perfectly fine
not sure which one caused it
lol
i think it might be discord
????
well i logged out of foxhole
cancelled discord and google
now it works lol
dont get me wrong, I've started foxhole with discord on without any problems
isn't the voice bugs are weird
are you part of the mod team?
nope
just tryna help out?
yea
huh, not sure if I should feel disappointed in the staff, hope they're good people
thanks for the help dark!
That didn't work for me.
Oops and its broken again
yea cause you have to close 2 discord applications before it fully shuts fown
like steam where you have to closes 3 or 4
I killed them in task manager
lol
still didnt work?
wait
priest can you hear anyone?
if you can't hear anyone, one of my friends had the same problem they had to go into the voice options and reset there headphones and mic and also had to go into the sound settings and reset their mic and headset
like their Audio settings
did it work bud?
damn man...
I uninstalled the driver completely and reinstalled it.
I cannot hear anyone.
Gunfire, chat clicks all that is there.
sorry to hear that man
ok then try turning off all audio things like mic and headphones in the audio settings then go in game and deselect them then restart game and activate it all
I'll give it a whirl
if that doesn't work my guess is like Alex you have a application running you don't know about
it couldve been i've restarted so many times that it worked
I killed everything named Chrome in the task manager, everything related to Discord. Taskbar apps for Nvidia, Adobe, my sound production gear, and everything else down there with the exception of f.lux.
It's not like anything changed when it stopped working.
I got off the PC at 11:30AM, came back at 3:30PM and Foxhole had this chat error. That was yesterday.
I was on all day yesterday and no problems for me
I got that. The majority of the game isn't having problems...which is what makes it that much harder to figure out exactly what is going on.
Yep, that disable, deselect in game, etc etc didn't work either. I'll just check on it tomorrow...and then I'm gone for 6 days.
srry mate
I'll give that a whirl.
I still cannot open the game at all
Nothing. A black screen for a few minutes and then a crash
Nope just crashes
have you tried reinsttalling or restarting pc?
Restarted pc but I haven't reinstalled yet but having semi slow internet that's a sort of last resort.
I have
can ur computer handle the game?
I've done that, compatability mode, checked for driver updates and restarted. And that might be it, I'm on a laptop but I run games like Garry's mod pretty smoothly. Unless this game is just highly demanding and I didn't realize it.
No just bought it today man
well I would advise reinstalling and then trying it might be something to do with the files but i cant advise you on which one
Okay thanks man, I'll reinstall will probably take 45 minutes to an hour. I'll let you know if it works.
ok
@quartz rose yeah so the reinstall didn't work
well idk maby just let it sit for a bit and try again tommorow if that doesnt work i dont know srry
@sour vortex try verifying integrity of game cache
since there might be corrupt leftover files
wait
Black Screen on Startup
If this is happening to you, there is currently one known solution, if that doesn't work, ask for more help.
- Go to C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Local\Foxhole\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor
- Open GameUserSettings.ini
- Set PreferredFullscreenMode=0 from whatever it is currently at
- Save the file
- Restart the game
@sour vortex
otherwise if that doesn't work make sure you have the newest drivers and maybe try using something like revo uninstaller to make sure everything is gone
I'll try all this. Appreciate the help you guys.
no prob i might not know all the answers but I'll try to help regardless
I appreciate it alot
✌
Under gameusersettings.ini there isn't even a preferredfullscreenmode
Can I run the game decently with these specs? OS: WIndows 7 CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E7500 @ 2.93GHz, 2933 Mhz, RAM: 4GB GPU: Nvidia GeForce GT 710 1 GB VRAM
1 sec
Dark there is no preferred full-screen mode option in the .Ini
But I wrote it in and tried running the game and I didn't work
Ok
Can you give me an example of settings that I should use?
I tried but I'd always have crappy fps
uhhh, how do i fix the voicechat bug? ive tried everything
did you see the discussion we had on it above?
It looks like the game doesn't register my changes to the graphics settings
@quartz rose yeah i saw and tried ddint work
still having voice chat error 6-0, after trying every possible solution posted on this channel.
the only thing i can't solve is the SIP ALG, as my router can't disable it
Yep, I'm stumped. I ended up deleting all of my sound devices from within Device Manager and reinstalling them. Still no luck.
hope tomorrow we have a solution from the devs ❤
Sorry if i repeat, but what operating system do yall have?
windows 10
Windows 10
FYI It worked at 11:30AM CST yesterday and when I got back on at 3:30PM, having not touched my computer, the voice chat didn't work.
same
windows 10
#blameVivox
^
never mind i fixed my issue by restarting the game
Do we need the NET Framework files to run the game?
WHEW, Finally back at an actual working computer @gritty token @inner basin so time to go to fucking work again cause vivox is shit
@vagrant burrow Uh, try running steam as administrator next time
@nocturne kindle Try the third pinned message
If you already have, then you're fucked. Sorry.
i already tried that and i unistalled and reinstalled and it still doesnt work
np
oof
Alright then
What else can we try
Try the SLP ALG thing
ha
Perfect
@vivid pulsar Could you unpin these 3 messages?

2 of them are redundant, and the other one isn't a problem anymore
Could you also pin the next message?
Fixing Vivox Voice Files
- Close Steam and Foxhole
- Go to
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Foxhole\War\Plugins\VivoxCoreUE4Plugin\Source\ThirdParty - Delete
VivoxCoreLibrary - Reopen Steam, and verify the game files.
- Restart your computer.
am i supposed to get this after verifying game files?
ok ill restart my computer and see if it works then
Yay! Proper formatting!
didnt work im gonna try one more thing
ok it works now ty!
What did you do @nocturne kindle?
so i uninstalled my game then restarted steam, i then just installed my game like normal and now it works
Nice
thank god @sly mortar , Krazy's message was irking me because it wasn't formatted nicely
Yes
I'm having the same problems. Reinstalling, clearing caches, and deleting the VivoxCoreLibrary folder (and verifying game integrity through steam) did not resolve the issue. I believe the problem is my router; SLP ALG is enabled and it cannot be disabled (model doesn't support the option). I switched over to using my phone's personal hotspot (through USB) and the problem resolved itself immediately. I verified my phone doesn't use SIP ALG. My personal hotspot isn't configurable though, so I can't test further by toggling the feature on.
I'm switching ISPs for unrelated reasons though and my new router should support the option, so I can mess with that when I get it set up.
Yes, its working right now
Alright, cause SLP is effectively required to be off for Vivox it seems
Ahh, didn't know there was a recent update
In-game Voice/Vivox voice issues
A lot of players are reporting problems with Vivox and the in-game voice. It is most definitely not a problem on the client-side. So if you are having issues please refer to the pins in this channel for some basic troubleshooting steps, but if those don't work, please don't panic. We'll have the team take a look at it as soon as they're back in the office. Thanks.
@hot oak when will the team be back?
Tomorrow
👍

@craggy solstice When Vivox fixes their shit
I need it badly/
Then go spam Vivox
They did something probably
Not sure what
But it fucked everything up
Can it recover in a short time?
I seemed normal not long ago, but now I can't use it
@craggy solstice Again, vivox fucked up, can't do anything about it, don't panic
but i very unhappy and panic, now
has anyone found out a way to fix the voice chat error
the one where nothing works to fix it
hey all, does anybody have any other workarounds for the "unable to download shard info" error? my profile doesn;t load etc...any help would be greatly appreciated. I have followed all steps I could find in the support forums etc, with no luck
Hey @sly mortar , just got access to a different WiFi and the problem is still there. "Failed to download shard info"
@torpid wigeon we have the same problem bruh
Yaaaaaaayyyy found the fixed. It's the antivirus I had. Basically one of the settings for firewall and app allowance was to deny all inbound TCP something something. You should try it out and see if it works @torpid wigeon . Its not just disabling live scans, either you turn the whole antivirus off or you just allow all connections to come in.
I'll try to pin point what exact thing that needed to turn off and let you guys know
@light mesa Back today!
Hello, no doubt you're tired of hearing complaints here, but my mic isn't working. Like others it works with everything else I run on my system. I've read all the pinned messages and followed all the troubleshooting steps involved, including disabling the SIP thing in my router. I keep getting Voice Chat Error [8] 0-6 or something like that. I can hear others speaking however. I'd be happy to list my system specs too.
I have not worked glabella
shard is empty
any news on the vivox problem?
@steep lava The dev team is back today. Hopefully we'll get something by today. but no promises
@terse flume Did you try verifying game files, on Steam?
oleg (олег) http://www.foxholegame.com/support
The issue I am getting a "Persistent War is unavailable" message when clicking on "Join the War" on the main menu
```There is a good chance this is happening because of a conflict with your anti-virus program, which can result in critical files from being downloaded from our cloud services. Here are a few steps you can take to try and resolve the issue:
i) Add Foxhole to your exclusions list
In most antivirus programs, this will be in the ‘settings’. If it asks you for a folder to add to your exclusions list, specify the folder that Foxhole is installed to. By default, it should be :\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Foxhole
ii) Unblock Foxhole from your firewall
If you have a firewall, go into its settings and look for something like, “Allow an App through the firewall”. Make sure that Foxhole is selected. Depending on your software, it might also come up as ‘WAR’
iii) Unblock port 443 from your Firewall
For this you may need to Google specific instructions for your software. In most cases, port settings are located under an ‘advanced settings’ section of your router administration site or firewall software. You will need to create an inbound/outbound rule, or exception, for port 443.
iv) Verify Integrity of Game Files
Go into Steam and right click Foxhole, click on 'Properties', click on the ‘Local Files’ tab, then click ‘Verify Integrity of Game Files’. Once completed, restart steam and try Foxhole again.
v) AT YOUR OWN RISK
If the above steps don’t work, you can try disabling your firewall temporarily, reinstall Foxhole, then re-enable your antivirus```
I may have found a fix for the "Mic not working" issue
My mic on my headset wasnt picking anything up, it's plugged in via 3.5mm audio jack. However I have a USB Webcam with a built in mic. I set the USB Mic as the Windows, Steam and Foxhole default and I can speak in game now.
sps
@real oasis you were getting the 6-0 error?
@steep lava yes I was
that didn't work for me, i only have one mic
i deleted vivrox and registered steam files and reinstalled but did not fix chat error [8] 6-0
?
what kind of permissions?
already did it 5 times
plus, reisntalling the game 2 times, deleting mic drivers, deleting foxhole folder on appdata
And you set recording and play back devices to one defualt?
Also did you make sure your drivers were up to date?
yes, they are set as default, and yes they are up to date with windows drivers
now i got the voice chat error [2] 2-5008, plus the [8] 6-0
Yep, it didn't solve my problem too
I’d delete vivox dlls and reverify and do it a second time bc I had to do it twice one time ....
Have you tried changing DNS on your computer? Also do any of you two live in a place where you share your internet / do not have control of the router (EX... Dorm, Apartment Complex with "free" wifi...)
8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4 reeee
208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220 is what i prefer, it is OPENDNS
Not google REEEEEE
i have automatic DNS
Set it to manual
ok, i put the ones you shared
I would restart computer and try again
"Also do any of you two live in a place where you share your internet / do not have control of the router (EX... Dorm, Apartment Complex with "free" wifi...)"
I have a technicolor modem/router
i have control over it
that did it
the dns shit did it
what the actual f**k
I think the consensus is that we have to wait on Vivox to unfuck itself
@obtuse ice changing my DNS worked
Nah, there is usually fixes
@obtuse ice Checked pinned messages
Did you try changing your DNS?
DNS didn't work... What is strange, is that it worked OK until 3 am of the first day in this year
And, I have to ask, @sly oxide Did you try the pinned stuff?
Yup, I was here since first complains appeared 01.01.2019 XD
Well, first complains in this year...
Well id check back but there is so much stuff D:
Let me ask this, Gentlelion, are you in a dorm?
And what operating system do you have?
Just went through that whole mess of steps again. Still not working for me.
Win 10, and no.
I did when I turned off SIP ALG, but let me try a different DNS server.
@gritty token IT is Huawei, for USB.
Huawei, for usb? What is that?
oohhh no no, what router do you have, not ethernet to USB adapter lol
And @molten peak Try making sure DNS is set in both for the 208.x.x.x
208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220
Datnicka! It worked! Swapped from Open DNS to Cloudflare and it's working
208? Actually, I was on a 199...Oh, that's Norton ConnectSafe...no flipping wonder.
@gritty token Then I don't have.
@gritty token Thank you sir!
Resetting DNS appears to have fixed mine as well
Oh, God. It started working. DNS repaired chat. @gritty token You were right.
There we go!
That is too odd...
Awesome, happy to see it worked for everyone 😄
It can make sense
It could be an issue with the data getting to or from your computer
I work in VoIP and we have that issue all the time.
Interesting.
Some ISP DNS servers or what ever they use do not always point in the right spots OR they don't want it to
I'll keep that in mind the next time I'm troubleshooting some VoIP errors on site.
DNS server and SIP ALG, the two biggest issues for VoIP phones D:
@hot oak I have a problem and that is that when I go to harvest scrap i can´t get any tech part. I could fill my inventory of scrap and i wouldn´t have any tech part. Can you help me?
Hello, my vocal chat is not working in game. What can I do? 😦 thanks
@gritty token
Tinez, I swapped my DNS server to 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1 and it started workin' again.
@rustic swallow That is most likely a game mechanic than a Technical issue
And @surreal herald Please try the pins
Fixing issues with Voice Chat, DNS related
What is DNS?
DNS is Domain Name System, it is used to resolve Domain Names to their respective location or IP address.
Why would DNS be the issue?
DNS is used when services like VoIP are trying to resolve where to send the audio traffic and where to recieve audio traffic from. Certain DNS providers and ISPs have the incorrect information where to send traffic, causing Error Codes in game such as [8]-6.
How do i fix this?
Following this article: https://gadgets.ndtv.com/internet/features/how-to-change-dns-server-on-windows-7-8-windows-10-and-macos-1669869
Add 8.8.8.8 as the primary and 8.8.4.4 as the secondary(Google DNS). If you'd prefer to use a different one than google, use 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220 (OPEN DNS)
If you need more assistance please ping the tech wizards role!
Thank you sir 
so it doesn't embed
Let me do that

@gritty token and what i have to do?
If there are a lot of people on both sides scrapping then the tech drop rate per person lowers i believe
ahh thanks
voice chat was dns huh? damn that one guy never tested it for me
he just said the dns didnt fix it and he never tried it
Sometimes does, sometimes doesn't
i think sometimes people are fixnig their dns, sometimes they arent lol
DNS doesn't always fix it
not flushing local dns cache or something
So
It definitely seems to be the issue of people disconnecting when they change maps and stuff tho
One of many
and like nobody using google or cloudflare DNS was having trouble with voice, right?
They are
oh ok nevermind then lol
secretly suspect not actually using google, wouldnt believe it without a nslookup result, but i guess ill have to act like i believe it
Can someone help me?
With what?
Aright, try verifying the files through steam
I have already reinstalled and contigued the same problem
Try running steam as administrator, and then running foxhole
Now it worked Thanks bro
i cant join the War
im getting the error Failed to connect to server
anyone else?
@jovial frost restart Steam and try again
nice no more chat error
Clan tag issue question.
We are setting up a clan with some comrades, but not sure how to get the clan tag to display ingame.
Is it just setting it in character profile for that faction? Or some more steps are involved?
my game on westgate inside and outside truck looks different! is it a bug?
screenshots coming
@little pollen If you do clan tags, there is a character limit to what is shown in foxhole, as per your steam name. Im not sure what it is but I know for a fact [27thFRC]ScrunglyBungus does not fit. and @delicate vale, wasn't able to see the difference but I assume so. If it is where you see almost a filter per say, then yes it is a known bug.
@gritty token weird, my steam/display name is pretty short.
Do you have to put it in brackets in profile, like [LfWb] as opposed to LfWb? Or is it non-capital letters that can break the display?
As per what people usually do, they use Brackets [ ] to enclose clan tag. Some clans have it different like = R = . But generally most clans use brackets
Hmm, thank you, ill fiddle with it some more.
Its just what you set in profile, correct? No more magic required?
is there a fix?
Yeah change your profile in Steam to reflect what you want.
My steam name looks a lot like my discord name, that is how my clan tag is displayed
and @delicate vale , no there is not :/
Ah, that makes sense, I thought the game would do it on its own. Steam fiddling we go.
Yeah, we have been asking for our own for a while :/ It is in the road map per dev streams but isn't here yet. Also, there is a profile for users (kinda pointless but i still set up my own). On the profile you can put stuff down but the only way to see it is using the F1 menu or alt-clicking someones name on the battlefield.
Ye, Ive set some details in the profile, thank you.
Would be nice if devs put more priority on such small things, less on 'more dakka', but we will see.
does foxhole not support bluetooth headphones?
i tried running steam as administrator and it still doesnt work
??????
odd error
you did try verifying integrity of game cache already? @vagrant burrow
doing that rn
i was checking out the devblog from the game
and it got me to the website on chrome
and the game crashed so i thought that i would just start the game up again
then that happened
now it just keeps on validating without end
@vagrant burrow Restart your PC
Alright, try loading the game now
alright its working now thanks
Did the voice chat complaints solve themselves when the DNS caches finally updated? Not seeing it being reported anymore
No fuckin clue
hey how do I turn my mic on?
I remember using Ctrl + F(number?) or something like that
@neon pond What do you mean turn your mic on?
my mic isnt working like it should and on my computer theres a way to turn it on and off
its in the computer itself
anything
Go to sounds
Sounds, right click your microphone, and click "Use this device (enable)
Or well, right click > Properties > Enable
Can't
Whenever I do effectively anything my computer BSODs, am currently trying to fix it
Was told to come here.
Essentially issue:
Computer goes flat out full freeze after X amount of time playing a game, where X varies by game. In Stellaris, it's 10 years, in Foxhole, it came out to be 30 minutes, in Warframe, it's 1 mission - same for Overwatch and other "Instanced" games. Sometimes I can push it longer, sometimes it goes extra unstable.
When it goes super unstable, I go to BIOS and reset it to "Optimized Defaults", it returns to normal for a while (I can do more than 30 mins for instance). After a while, especially if there was a reboot/power off-on cycle, it returns to abnormal-normal (i.e: predictable when crash will happen).
After some testing, I found it's NOT the HDD, not the GPU, not the CPU. my temps are 20-30C, at summer they go up to 50 (so like ambient +10-20). I suspect the RAM or the MOBO.
Of note that certain games cause it to freeze, then after 2 ish minutes it unfreezes.
Furthermore, it causes a freeze even when not playing games, BUT doing something that causes rapid and rather large sized loads and unloads to RAM
Furthermore, restarting the game tends to reset the "10 years" in stellaris (played 100 years without a crash by always restarting every 10 years)
Can you run the Windows Memory Diagnostic?
It showed green strangely enough
I'd have to run MEMTEST, I know... but no disc to burn it on at hand
What RAM / MOBO is it?
moment
Model 970A-UD3P (CPU 1)
Version x.x
Chipset Vendor AMD
Chipset Model RD9x0
Chipset Revision 02```
mobo
Ram, lemme check receipts
Also, what graphics driver version are you on?
CRUCIAL 8GB Ballistix DDR3 1600MHz CL9 BLS8G3D1609DS1S00CEU
for RAM
for GPU Nvidia GTX 1050 TI @ 25.21.14.1735
Is it a BSOD or simply a freeze?
Uncertain, I get a full freeze that ceases all programs from working, if there's sound, sound becomes a typical BSOD static
Then I'm forced to press the hardware reboot button on my case
Alright, so it doesn’t go to a BSOD without you doing anything?
Within 20 minutes no
I don't tend to leave it hanging longer
Only game it unfreezes is NWN2
(Neverwinter Nights 2)
Usually 2-3 minutes there
Do you have 2 monitors?
Single, 21 inch 1080p
Damn
I'm suspecting it has to do with memory loading/unloading
Could you open a program called “speccy” and then play foxhole or something in windowed mode until it freeze with speccy on the ram tab?
games that dump everything to RAM and then don't do anything afterwards work stable
Yeah, MOBOs don’t do this that often, and that MOBO is known to be stable, so I’m guessing RAM
What's interesting is that resetting bios to "Optimized defaults"
gives a temporary fix
Maybe a voltage or clock problem?
Started happening after I had lightning blow up my router
Uh, then it might be the MOBO short circuited something
Granted - not immediately
it took until I had blackouts because #HungarianInfrastructure in the summer
But before that, blackouts didn't cause such issues
This is sounding more and more like a power issue
Have you checked your power supply?
It sounds like it may have been overloaded
Got it like.. 2 years ago when lightning blew up my router AND killed my PC
1 years ago lightning blew up my router again, but PC survived
(I'm not joking, the router's internals were charred and it was split in twain.)
Get a new power supply, and see if it helps. If it doesn’t, well, you know it’s RAM and you have a new power supply.
I'll have to find a way for save for that
a decent power supply costs an entire month's of scholarships for me
Getting RAM costs half a month's of scholarships
RAM is ridiculously expensive
RAM is cheaper than a fucking power supply?
RAM is like 4-5x more expensive than a PSU where I am
Yup a
CORSAIR TX Series Modular TX650M Gold 650W
is 115 ish USD
My ramstic was 75 USD
huh
Although
what kind of PSU
a PSU that goes for 50 USD tends to have a reason for that
Cheap ones tend to rather unreliably output the advertised power and voltage
get 80+ bronze or gold, makes for a nice quiet power supply usually
yea power supply test great idea, bad ram would usually be blue screen of death instead of freezing
I had a DIMM slot die, it caused no post boot loop
I can't see any operations on the map, any idea how to fix it?
Are you sure there are operations in the region?
yes
Try restarting?
hes able to play for 30 minutes tho datnicka
for some reason people can hear me, but I cant hear them
click join war > lost conection to server try again later. anybody else gettin this
same
oh restarted now it magically works ok
yeah that happens to me too
cant cross from endless to umbral : says: lost connection server - other players have same problem
maybe it was cause I logged out in a place that was queued
has been DNS related before - using googles DNS servers (8.8.8.8) or cloudflare (1.1.1.1) or opendns may fix your border crossing problem
I think it may be in the pinned messages in fact
after i wrote this in discord i was dead and truck disapeard - hacker?
Anyone has any clues for the vc error I have: People can hear me, But I can't hear them.
nvm
it started working after a restart
i mean they try to cut support line directly at that position - maybe people hacking - plz check that - thx
you crossed a border and died? that is probably a partisan, not a hacker
no server said: no connetion to server
Also do you guys got any performance increasing tips I run the game on a pentium
check the pinned messages, I think DNS might be the fix for that error
also other players had same problems at border same time same message
but after i switchted back i was dead and truck wasnt there any more ...maybe fortune
now crossing works again
truck might be on other side?
no, disapeard, maybe blown up by enemie, while i was writing here 😉
you would see fuel on the ground i would think
was no fuel there, but buddy bag with 3/4 equipment
oh ok weird
yes , i mean other players who wanted to cross had same problem...now it work again
from endless to umbral , 2 player, from umbral to heartlands one player: message; no connetion to server, but server was online because of chat from umbral
Likely means there was a queue or some such
no, then u get an other message
only wanted to report that issue , was new for me
Put it in #bug-reports
^ Fill out a bug report, network code for the game probably can't completely handle map switches for the large population. Destined to get errors.
hi sorry
have you applied for the changes to be made in game ??
and on the issue of people not answering its just probably that people are playing it rn
im assuming that you've clicked on apply after changing the settings then ??
ahh okay then i have no other answers then lmao
sorry i couldnt help much
thanks for trying at least!
does mouse sensitivity in Foxhole work for you @vagrant burrow
i didnt change it tbh lmao
Guys could anyone zip and trow me his config files for Foxhole from C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Foxhole\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor
^ This guy apparently isn't even on the server anymore
Comes in saying we aren't helping him >_> it was 342:am when you asked for help D:
is it worth my time to ask for mod help in getting a truck unstuck ?
Depends but possibly, they may be able to help. Depends on how busy, message @coarse trail

Troubleshooting Network-Related Issues
If you're receiving errors such as "No Home Region" or being disconnected, this usually points to a network-related issue. Due to the nature of network issues, there is never a one-size-fits-all approach to correcting them, however through standard troubleshooting steps, we can typically eliminate most issues. However, before you try these networking steps, make sure you are clicking Join the War not Browse Events
Steps to Try
- Restart your PC
- Verify the game files >> Open Steam >> Right Click Foxhole >> Properties >> Local Files >> Verify Integrity of Game Files
- Close any and all programs on your computer >> Open Steam >> Open Foxhole >> Attempt to get in game
- Disable all antivirus and firewall solutions; Follow #3
- Restart computer completely >> Close any programs that started automatically; Follow #1
- Restart internet Modem and/or Router; May be a good idea to perform #3 after
- Verify all ports used by Steam are open on modem/mouter firewall as well as any 3rd party firewall hardware: https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=8571-GLVN-8711 ; Follow #4
- On Wi-Fi? Try using a physical (ethernet) connection instead
- On Wi-Fi? Try moving physically closer to the modem/router providing the wireless internet
- On Ethernet? Reseat the ethernet cable on both sides; perform #4 as well as #3
- Verify all drivers are up to date. This includes graphics drivers; Perform #10
- Verify Windows is up to date
- Laptop? Make sure the laptop's power/battery setting is set to High Performance.
- Set Max Pings settings in the Steam client: Go to Steam -> Settings -> In Game. Go to the dropdown box labelled In-Game Server browser: Max pings/minute and set to 500. Perform #1
Note: This isn't a conclusive list. With the nature of troubleshooting, there could be any number of things going on

Hi - I'm having voice chat trouble. It worked normally last night, but now I cannot hear other players' voice chat. Where can I start troubleshooting?
I've tried resetting my DNS but that did not work
@small void Try the third pinned message
@sly mortar roger, did so
been working my way down the lsit
Details:
DNS set to OPEN DNS
File integrity checked, PC restarted (done twice)
Other players can hear me, but I cannot hear them
Did you delete that specific file?
VivoxCoreLibrary needs to be deleted BEFORE you verify the integrity and restart
Yes, VivoxCoreLibrary folder was deleted, then I attempted to verify integrity
Alright
If you recommend I do it again just as a dummy check, I'll run it, restart, and come back
👍
@sly mortar - still, no luck
Okay, so no problems there
Have you made sure that your audio devices are hooked up and enabled?
Yes, but I'm going to run through a dummy check again
Alright, through the sound menu as well?
All are hooked in and functioning normally.
Are there specific settings I should be confirming?
Make sure that your input and output device that you are using for foxhole is the windows default
Foxhole cares about that for some reason
Even though you can fucking set it
Yeah, make sure that in game they are the same as the ones marked as default
AH HA, THEY WEREN'T MATCHED
Let's try this again
Argh that was is
That was the dumbest thing
Thank you for your help. Anyway we can commend/contribute/send you thanks/etc
hi there seems to be a bug where i click on the devblog ingame and it crashes my game and i can't play it untill i restart my pc
@vagrant burrow hm. Put that in #bug-reports
hello @wheat wagonmunity I have been refining fuel for last few days my timer didnt stop. i had 36k+ fuel in refinery. at last delivery of fuel i missclick on cancel and everything is gone
is there a way to get fuel refubrished or should i simply suck up and die?
@restive gardeneloper
@dusky pulsar Did you fix the problem?
just reboot the PC
wait a sec
no it didn't work
voice chat works
but seems like no one can read my text message
i can see what i typed in chat, but no one else can see it
@dusky pulsar go to the chat options on top right of the bottom right chat
It's a cog
Set your main language as english
kk
oh that works, somehow the language settting sets itself to chinese
thats why no one can read it
thanks
No problem!
did you find a fix for the shard not loading?
Nope, sadly not @cobalt phoenix
Doubt it
@sly mortar well thats bad
@cobalt phoenix update .20 is
ok
@sly mortar did the devs say anything about this problem yet?
well
this is the most annoying thing ever
i also got a problem with DCS for unknown reasons
i can't log in
@snow dock , i would message @coarse trail and see if they can help. but please do not ping the Devs D:
@cobalt phoenix , its been a while so i forgot, but are you in a dorm?
nope
or a place where the network is not managed by you
well i live in a house
do you have a firewall or just a router?
router
no idea
well i am not managing the internet because im not the owner of it
i am simply to young and my parents are managing it
if it makes sense
Yes that makes sense
Been there lol
I may ask your parents if they have restricted anything on it
It could be why
For example, I have a pretty complicated network for no reason, so i have stuff restricted
Is that rumor or true?
If so, depending on how tech savvy you are, you could use wireshark to get the public IP of foxhole and ping it from your computer. That would show if it is blocked
It can be hard
its hard to answear to ''Is that rumor or true?''
bc i just know they are blocking stuff if they dont like it like websites and download links
but not sure about the rest
but Wireshark is a program that monitors all traffic to your NIC (network interface card, aka where you wired or wireless internet goes to) and tells you all traffic from LAN to even WAN that talks to your computer. How you would know it is foxhole is by the massive amount of packets sent and it being located in the USA or Canada.
yeah if i would get helped i could try checking that
I can't really help much, im not too advanced with it, just know enough to figure stuff out like that.
And you have ran through all the pinned messages?
yes
i currently have firewall fully off
but no changes
it may be something on my pc not letting information travel to the steam ports
im gonna do a full reboot on my computer but idk if it works
it also started happening with dcs now @gritty token
dcs?
And also, if you turn your computers firewall off, but the router is blocking traffic, it wont do anything
but
Do you have anti-virus?
@gritty token could the fact that there is shitloads of snow outside have something to do with this?
windows 10
no antivirus, i deleted cuz i was asked to
yes
just foxhole and dcs
@gritty token standby i may finally say something relevant in a sek
someone having the same problem as me in dcs claims ''Sorry NO I didn't. DCS support claims it's an error on my end having something to do with my ISP but my ISP support can't find anything that makes all my other game work online but not DCS. /Thomas''
the question was if he found a solution
well you will only know if by what i said to try if you can
Hi. I just bought FH and when I try to join global war I see this:
https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/964233781986277014/6E2520502E1F52FF0A58823ED7D907004749406B/
And in Browse Events I can see one server called 'DOG' is it ok or it's somethiong wrong.
I FH is allowed to recive connections. After first run of game windows firewal asked me will I allow for connectios to FH , and I aproved it.
just join the war, you dont need to load an event
and when you join the war, find the tent that will take you to the fighting
@blissful sequoia I can't join the war. when I try pick a side I see erro from the screen
@south blaze restart steam, if that doesn’t work check the “troubleshooting network related issues” pin
Can somebody help me with this issue i can't join the "join the war" section
failed downloading shard info, which is uhh https traffic i think, amazon, probably not firewalled
I would think it's the DNS issue, is the fix for that still pinned?
Oh its the top one
Have you already tried the solution in that first pinned message?
me?
first pinned one is the oldest one right
The one at the top about DNS
oh okey
i don't know what's my problem about i bought the game 2 days ago
i will try that
thanks
i look like now it's working I can join the war but can't see more events
Correct, no events
have you tried turning it off and on again
can somebody help me with the join the event issue. I tried most of the things but one of my friends told me that i must pick live option from the top left shard section but the problem is when i click the shard section there is nothing coming so i can't pick the live <@&213133977681264640> @blissful sequoia
@tulip cedar Just to confirm, you're pressing the dropdown box next to 'shard' not the word shard?
i have ''shard not loading'' problem, DNS fix does not work News and highlights wont load too
same problem with DCS
cant log in to DCS (DCS is a game)
DCS support claims it's an error on my end having something to do with my ISP
@gusty jasper yeah i am pressing the dropdown box
Hmm, I am unsure as to what the problem is
@tulip cedar have you tried restarting steam? when no shards are appearing its likely a problem with the connection to the steam servers or you are running an outdated version
i reccommend trying to check the integrity of the game's files and restart steam
That usually fixes game problems
If u ever have an issue, just check the file integrity first
Sometime Steam just gives you the finger
i did checked the integrity of the game's files and restarted the steam but i am having this problem from the time i bought the game
so it's nothing that simple i guess
i did re installed the game when my anti virus program is closed
and it's still the same
@tulip cedar try the “troubleshooting network-related issues” pin
do the game settings, besides resolution, not save for everyone or is that just me?
@tulip cedar you tried the DNS fix? probably the most likely issue related to shards from what i've seen
@somber viper sometimes the graphics settings don't persist between sessions
none of my settings do, besides res
oh that's strange
My friend just got the game, he isnt able to press use on anything, like garisson, boxes or not. But he can pick up items off the ground
@supple zenith tell him to verify the files
Started working after he died
Oh yeah, that's the other fix
@sly mortar @gritty token solution for [8] 6-0 yet?
Have you done the SLP ALG thing?
I don't have the problem just asking
And had everyone do that too but there seems to be no fix for that
And no response from devs aswell
That's connection I believe
And so... uh.. try networking BS and if that doesn't work go scream at Vivox
But it could also be SLP ALG
SO tell them to do that
Then keep screaming

Windows has been saying “Updates: 100% complete” for the past 30 minutes 😦
Oh ffs NOW it just went to 27% complete
Yeah, Windows is bad at updating for some reason right now
Their dev process is going to shit
<@&521124241395941396> I have an issue with voice chat, i can neither hear or speak invoice chat, Whenever i do, i get the "Voice Chat Error [8] 6-0" and if i try to reconnect through the settings i get "Voice Chat Error [2] 2-5031"
i have tried the change In DNS
which i saw was posted
Try the 3rd pin, 1st pin, and 4th pin
^
ok
^
thanks ill reply if none work
if none of those work let us know
@north pivot also go into menu, and reconnect voice systerm
i have tried but i will try again
then go to the pins
yup
i tried the vivox one once before but i just deleted the entire thing and verified it, ill try what you guys said and then ill try the last one
tried the vivox fix, no change
Try SLP ALG then
@north pivot how is your internet?
pretty good
my dad has like a bajillion fire walls so its possible thats an issue but i dont have any problem with anything else that uses Voip
but my net is pretty good
just did a speed test, 47.6 Mbps Download, 16.45 Mbps Upload
SLP ALG tester is blocked by my dads fire wall lol, probably cause its an executable, plus the others, so ill talk to him about it when he gets home and get him to help me trouble shoot
thanks for the help, if u have any other solutions etc that may work, feel free to ping me
maybe
Try running steam as administrator
Foxhole uses strange ports
yeah i would assume theyve done some funky stuff to end up with these problems
Nah, it's mostly Vivox
like its not a client side issue, but at the same time lol
They're just shit for this integration for some reaosn
Yeah
ok tryin now
That's what we're getting to at this point
lol
do you know if they have any plans to switch from vivox or somethin? or they just gonna weather it till Vivox picks up their game
nup still same Voice chat error
and same error if i try reconnect
do you know what the different error codes actually mean @sly mortar ?
cause might help if i know what the issue actually is, plus my dad is in IT
really
thats a bitch
Tentitively [8]8 6-0 is a connection error to Vivox
Nah
Oh, so then you know what the error is as far as I do
and then [8] 6-0 is probably just cant connect
tho u get it once when you press T, and once when you release it
which is a little derpy
well i guess ill get my dad to help trouble shoot when he gets home
thanks anyway
the plumbers plumbing is always the worst
I kind of wish we had a specific test point, like nooba set up a test amazon aws months ago for trying to determine a connection problem
if we had a server ip and port to try netcat and traceroutes and nslookup on, it would be much easier to help people determine their network problems
and im just too lazy to snoop packets
Lol
Okay, I am getting some weird rendering issues where the colonial is able to shoot me from an open field and I can't see him nor I can hear anything. Just my blood is on my character and then i'm down. No tracer shots flying to my character, nothing.
@valid jewel Verify files
Alrighty!
is there a way to fix the limited view distance based on screen resolution?
@topaz horizon Change your screen resolution to vertical so you get a huge view range 
1280x1024 has a slightly farther view range than 16:9 screens
alright, i am here
im getting a weird visual problem. as im in game (even at starting island) instead of the mouse pointer i have a white dot and then as i move the mouse the view start to bounce left\right making playng impossible. 3 hours ago was all fine. no update no changes of driver or anything else. steam verified file game done and sucess.
Hello im having some issues, when playing the game for 1min or 2 my entire pc shuts off and right after that i get a PSU power surge protection... this only happens when playing foxhole any idea what it might be?
@terse flume clicking middle mouse fixes that afaik
Or your middle mouse button might be stuck
@inner oak What PSU do you have? Also what are your specs
May be too much power being pulled
Also have your over clocked?
Motherboard: Asus Z97 Pro Gamer
Processor: i7 4790K 4.0Ghz (OC to 4.5Ghz)
Graphicscard: nVidia EVGA GTX 980 SC
HDD: WD Black 7200RPM 1TB(64MB cache)
SSD: Samsung 850 Pro 256GB
RAM: Corsair Vengeance Pro Red 16GB RAM (2400Mhz)
PSU: Corsair RM750 Modular 750W
i did oc my cpu to 4.5
750 is plenty lol
I actually have the same cpu too
But
I would try and see if reverting any OC you did makes it work
Ahh the good ol DDR3 LGA 1150 socket
I have
and see if that helps
Motherboard: Asrock H97 Pro
CPU: i7-4790k (no OC)
GPU: MSI GTX 970
HDD: Something 1 TB
SDD: 2, one for boot, one for games, 128gb and 256gb
RAM: DDR3 3-8GB 2400MHz (One of my dim slots died 😦 )
PSU: 650W Corsair
@inner oak does this happen when you play other games? Or is Foxhole your only game
Yeah see if that fixes it, it sounds like it is failing your PSU to a surge.
What other games are you trying? I would try graphics or CPU intensive games
Crisis 3 😄
@inner oak Are those games as graphically intensive as Foxhole? It also depends on what graphics settings you put in game (I think?)
i tryed hearthstone and rise of the tomb raider and i didnt have any issues
so its pretty weird
Hearthstone is good if you have a large old game lol
Lol that's really strange then
Yes, have you reverted OC?
imma do that now 😃
back to server + Java development
you do java development?
yeah its running fine now
one more thing i know this aint related to technical support but where can i repeat the tutorail my tutorial got skipped since my pc crashed lol
If you change your steam name and change it back
it will reset the tutorial
As well as the island you spawn on is the tutorial. And if that is the case and it works now, id be careful with the OC. It seems that was the problem.
@gritty token my senior project 😄
Combining SQL and java!
also I'm kinda like super behind on it
@inner oak What tutorial are you talking about?
The training course will always be on the home island
He is talking about the one where you log in and walks you through stuff i assumed
And the little graphic that shows up when you first enter the game can be found by clicking "How to Play" on the Escape menu
Yeah you can see that again
yeah i manage to find it myself haha but thank you 😃
@gritty token why should i be careful with the oc? 😮 you mean i should remember to turn it off when playing foxhole?`
no no no
If the OC is the reason, it can happen with other games
a PSU short is not good
can cause issues across all parts
oh yeah thanks 😃 i mean is the only game its happened so its pretty weird, i've played arma 3, bo4, overwatch, r6s and more with no issues whatsoever @gritty token
and those games are pretty intensive
hmmmmmm Unreal Engine problems? Perhaps
maybe :/
although miscreated is unreal engine if im not mistaken and i dont have any issues there either
whatever the case thank you for the help 🙂
Something is pulling wayyyy too much power lol
i can dm screenshots maybe if you want
No you are fine! We at least know what the problem is
Im just concerned haha don't like OCs not working out well
It is like modding your Honda civic, it makes it faster, but will it crack the engine?
yeah i understand haha
I can't connect to the server 
Old returning player
Lost connection to the server when I tried using Join the War
I tried opening and closing the game
The pins have holy information
Look at the pin titled, Troubleshooting Network-Related Issues
Restarting PC fixed it, thanks!
Does anyone know why when I teamviewer my PC my foxhole character wont walk around, he can move forward like .01 of a meter and spin and crouch, but he just cant make it to the tent to start the queue for my drive home irl 😛
@austere galleon HAHAHA I have the same problem when I tried that 6 months ago
I do not know why that is a problem
im reading up on it rn
Is anyone else getting an issue when they tab back into the game it crashes and your tv goes to no signal which requires you to restart your computer to fix? i've experienced this problem like 5 times now
maybe 5 times a year
if youre rockin a 1080p i suggest you set your game to fullscreen windowed instead of fullscreen
That's your graphics drivers fucking up
but if yours 4k the nametags are too difficult to read
frankly i dont know why you wouldnt use fullscreen windowed for 1080p under all circumstances
vsync issues maybe?
I.E. graphics drivers
ok, i'll try fullscreen windowed
@austere galleon Interesting, i may try to see if i can do this
is it a known issue that xlr mics dont work?
@lyric gyro there are some pinned messages in this channel for a similar issue if you want to try those but I don’t know how to help beyond that.
nothing really helped
Yeah, I didn’t think I’d was a network related issue
Yeah, if you don’t have the speaker icon it’s almost definitely not receiving the input
its literally never been an problem
From what I can tell from a couple google searches Vivox doesn’t work well with xlr mics so it’s not just a problem with Foxhole
hope they fix it
https://www.vivox.com/gamers/help/19 You should be able to contact Vivox and see if that yields any results if you want
Lol, I did notice that Foxhole drains a surprising amount of power, was loading it up and had task manager up and it flicked up to very high power usage and then down to high, which was amusing
It's a good game but I feel like it could use a little behind the scenes refinement, but I dunno, i wouldn't know what's happenin back there lil
Lol*
@vital pebble you're a wizard teddy
(sorry for the shitpost but i needed to do it)
@lyric gyro , if you need more help ping me
theres nothing special about an xlr mic that would cause a problem. ive got an xlr mic and no problems
yeah i don't think it is a xlr support problem
theres nothing special for xlr anyway, its gonna need a mixer or analog to digital at some point, its just like any regular sound card
its like saying does this game support stereo 3.5mm jack
you guys gave him the answers tho re: the pins and vivox
no no, its not that, sometimes the pins don't answer everything, i may be able to assist.
Well, looks like we might be getting Vivox Error codes thanks to the Clapfoot developers 😄 So we will be able to better assist everyone here!
nice
When I travel from region to region my window changes from it's expanded version to the original state, this cannot be fixed in any ways that I know of.
(I am in windowed mode)
Weird, can a Tech Wizard replicate this?
Either a bug in game or something else is up
@shut anvil
Yooooooooo no way bro @gritty token
Prob a bug in game, go into window mode and expand it a bit then travel to any region and see if it works.
Yeah i have heard of it
It is a bug from what i can tell
Not much we can do :/
You may be able to force the mode in the Nividia control panel / GEforce
That COULD be the issue
@gritty token I have literally no idea why my mic doesnt work in foxhole
Any error codes?
Input & Output might be weird in-game.
no error codes
@shut anvil Roger, I have reproduced the bug in game
Although it probably is not a bug, you see:
When you load into the new region, the game tells the client to go ahead and redraw the game's graphics. Since you have a certain resolution set in your settings, the game uses that and resizes your screen accordingly
I think the game doesnt get my imput
but the imput device is correct
you can see here that my computer received the imput
is there server issues?
I wish I could help, but I don't understand what xml mics are
@sharp karma What's up?
tl dr is that the mic is plugged into an audio interface with xlr and the interface is plugged into the computer with usb
looks like this
nevermind, eventually kicked in
proud of you @lyric gyro
@lyric gyro , I am at work but once I get home I may be able to help.
He fixed the problem, I can hear him in the Home Region 😄 @gritty token
Awesome 😄
So how would I fix this up?
Why are you dragging the windowed version in the first place @shut anvil
wow lmao @lyric gyro
=
