a novel solution is the best solution!

shut anvil Jan 8, 2019, 11:26 PM

#

I like to have things in the background.

inner basin Jan 8, 2019, 11:26 PM

#

so... one size bigger in the settings won't work?

shut anvil Jan 8, 2019, 11:26 PM

#

Nah.

inner basin Jan 8, 2019, 11:27 PM

#

Welp, only recommendation is to file a formal bug report in #bug-reports

shut anvil Jan 8, 2019, 11:27 PM

#

Already filed one, just wanted to review it further here to see if it was system-specific.

#

It happened on your system too, no?

inner basin Jan 8, 2019, 11:29 PM

#

Yes

#

Set to windowed mode, INCRESED THE window size manually, and travelled.

shut anvil Jan 8, 2019, 11:30 PM

#

Alright, and it hadn't happened on mine previously, so it probably is due to some things with Foxhole and not my GPU settings.

#

I'm going to assume.

inner basin Jan 8, 2019, 11:30 PM

#

Yep, proabably the graphics renderer/drawer

shut anvil Jan 8, 2019, 11:31 PM

has anyone faced this problem

cause its getting annoyinhg

molten peak Jan 9, 2019, 12:07 AM

#

C Bell, are you getting a voice chat error?

minor isle Jan 9, 2019, 12:08 AM

#

No in game voice chat works fine but it’s just when I get into home base audio from discord cuts out

molten peak Jan 9, 2019, 12:08 AM

#

That's odd. Unfortunately, I haven't run into that problem before. Sorry man

minor isle Jan 9, 2019, 12:09 AM

#

It’s alright seems like people have the same problem in other games but can’t find a fix

#

Oh I f

#

Oh I f

#

Oh I f

#

Oh I f

#

Oh I f

#

Oh I f

#

Oh I f

#

Fixed it

#

Why did they say that 50 times

#

It had to do with my headphones not the game itself

molten peak Jan 9, 2019, 12:15 AM

#

I'll keep that one in mind if I see the problem again.

sly mortar Jan 9, 2019, 3:35 AM

#

@shut anvil Stop trying to see farther, and it's your problem. Have fun with that bug.

shut anvil Jan 9, 2019, 3:42 AM

#

@sly mortar Ok I'll have fun with that bug thank you for the comment.

blissful sequoia Jan 9, 2019, 3:55 AM

#

@lyric gyro was it actually a mic problem or the voice chat software?

lyric gyro Jan 9, 2019, 3:56 AM

#

it was a voip problem

blissful sequoia Jan 9, 2019, 3:56 AM

#

so it wasnt just from swapping the input the mic plugged into?

lyric gyro Jan 9, 2019, 3:56 AM

#

for whatever reason foxhole doesnt support dual imput ports

blissful sequoia Jan 9, 2019, 3:56 AM

#

oh interesting...

lyric gyro Jan 9, 2019, 3:56 AM

#

strange too

blissful sequoia Jan 9, 2019, 3:57 AM

#

ive got an audio interface with 2 channels, ive never had a problem with mine

#

oh actually nevermind its 1 channel, it mixes them

lyric gyro Jan 9, 2019, 3:57 AM

#

to fix it all I did was swap the imput port from 2 to 1

sly mortar Jan 9, 2019, 3:58 AM

#

For foxhole it seems that the audio your outputting to needs to be the same as the windows default

blissful sequoia Jan 9, 2019, 3:58 AM

#

any real difference to the ports? one being mic and one being instrument?

lyric gyro Jan 9, 2019, 3:58 AM

#

but here is the kicker, I have both ports linked in my audio interface

blissful sequoia Jan 9, 2019, 3:58 AM

#

or is that just courtesy labeling

lyric gyro Jan 9, 2019, 3:58 AM

#

so it shouldnt matter

#

📎 vfdghyj.PNG

blissful sequoia Jan 9, 2019, 3:59 AM

#

kind of hard to see from the pictures but do you have mic 1 turned all the way down and mic 2 up?

#

is that knob on the right the mix knob? is that set to only mix from channel 2?

lyric gyro Jan 9, 2019, 4:01 AM

#

main is muted but that isnt relevent because both imput 1 and 2 are on

sly mortar Jan 9, 2019, 4:02 AM

#

Well

#

Foxhole would be outputting to only 1 of them

#

And that would probably be the main

#

So you might want to try unmuting that

blissful sequoia Jan 9, 2019, 4:02 AM

#

right, main not important because its probably coming out of the headphones

#

i just cant quite tell if the 2 volume knobs and mix knob are correct

lyric gyro Jan 9, 2019, 4:03 AM

#

yes, main is for studio monitors which I dont have hooked up

blissful sequoia Jan 9, 2019, 4:03 AM

#

maybe not volume - maybe they are trim

lyric gyro Jan 9, 2019, 4:04 AM

#

main has nothing to do with imput

blissful sequoia Jan 9, 2019, 4:04 AM

#

yes i never said anything about main

lyric gyro Jan 9, 2019, 4:04 AM

#

its an output

#

I know, that was for Icanari

blissful sequoia Jan 9, 2019, 4:04 AM

#

oh ok

#

if knob1 and knob2 are trim, for testing i would turn them both down, and i would set the mix in the middle, and then it should work in either port

lyric gyro Jan 9, 2019, 4:05 AM

#

and the mixer is set to vsl, which is my interface

blissful sequoia Jan 9, 2019, 4:05 AM

#

if they are gain knobs, then set them both to max, set the mix to mid, it shoudl work in both ports...

lyric gyro Jan 9, 2019, 4:06 AM

#

I got it working in anycase so it doesnt matter

blissful sequoia Jan 9, 2019, 4:06 AM

#

but if you cranked the mix (the one on the bottom right) to max it will only come out of channel 2

lyric gyro Jan 9, 2019, 4:23 AM

#

if I put the mixer all the way to the right it sets it so the mixing is handled in a program on my computer

#

#

there is a stutter every time I rotate my camera. It gets worse while sprinting. Is this happening to anyone else?

sly mortar Jan 9, 2019, 8:08 AM

#

@left violet Try verifying your game files and updating your graphics driver

left violet Jan 9, 2019, 8:22 AM

#

yea my graphics driver is updated and I just verified the game files yet it's still only stuttering when I rotate camera.

sly mortar Jan 9, 2019, 8:26 AM

#

@left violet Make sure you aren't hitting your VRAM cap, or any other processing cap. If that isn't the case revert to a previous version of your graphics drivers.

gritty token Jan 9, 2019, 5:08 PM

#

One simply doesnt download more VRAM

left violet Jan 9, 2019, 5:13 PM

yea so it was working fine with my updated drivers up until two days ago. Idk what the problem is

Laptop or PC?

blissful sequoia Jan 9, 2019, 5:39 PM

#

build it yourself?

left violet Jan 9, 2019, 5:44 PM

#

im not building anything I was just trying to see if there was a fix for why my game stutters everytime I rotate the camera

blissful sequoia Jan 9, 2019, 5:49 PM

#

just trying to think of things that can make a game stutter

left violet Jan 9, 2019, 5:49 PM

#

Yea I've been doing the same. Idk it just started too.

blissful sequoia Jan 9, 2019, 5:49 PM

#

well the good news is youre pretty sure it was caused by a driver so you can install an older one

#

until they fix it in the future...

left violet Jan 9, 2019, 6:00 PM

#

I don't think it is the drivers though. cause the game was fine with the updated drivers

gritty token Jan 9, 2019, 6:11 PM

#

What are you specs

#

sorry i am at work so i can't respond super fast.

#

Also when you updated your graphics, did you make sure your GPU control panel was still set to high?

proud smelt Jan 9, 2019, 6:14 PM

#

Strange. Foxhole will not launch even after having validated the files. The last time I had this problem I had to uninstall and then reinstall for this problem to disappear. I think this have something to do when you are Alt+F4-ing out of the game

gritty token Jan 9, 2019, 6:23 PM

#

Hmmmmmm

#

Well

#

I just wouldn't Alt F4 out of the game lol

proud smelt Jan 9, 2019, 6:34 PM

#

I normally dont, it was just a bit of ragequitting

gritty token Jan 9, 2019, 6:34 PM

#

I just hit the windows button and close the game from there lol

I have only Alt-F4d when i didnt know what it did lol

#

oh jeez

#

Yeah that is not the problem lol

#

an i9 i am jealous

#

what i would do is this

#

Turn on steam FPS counter in game, when you rotate camera, check and see if the FPS drops really low.

#

and how bad is this stutter?

left violet Jan 9, 2019, 7:00 PM

#

yea funny story about the i9 actually. AND ok so that's what I was trying actually and it seems to not drop at all really but everytime I rotate especially while running it skips. I'll try to get a vid and show you

but i was mainly telling hitman zeus

left violet Jan 9, 2019, 8:48 PM

ahh ok.

#

yea idk if this is game related or not. I feel like it is because it was working fine a couple days ago.

opaque trellis Jan 9, 2019, 8:48 PM

#

if you have ok performance in other games then it's foxhole

#

and you have to go to #bug-reports

gritty token Jan 9, 2019, 9:36 PM

#

Not neccessarily true ^

#

There are plenty of things only happening with foxhole and there are sometimes ways to fix them

#

taking a look at the vid now

#

you know

#

it may be network related lag

#

Can you run a ping test on command prompt?

#

run CMD type in ping google.com -4 -t in command promp

#

Tell me if your "time" goes above 80ms

#

also ping your router

#

so type in ipconfig

#

Get your Gateway

#

Then type in command prompt ping gatewayipadress -4 -t

#

If that goes above 10ms tell me

left violet Jan 9, 2019, 10:32 PM

#

yea here are the results for the gateway ipconfig i executed: Ping statistics
Packets: Sent = 11, Received = 11, Lost = 0 (0% loss), Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds: Minimum = 1ms, Maximum = 2ms, Average = 1ms

and as far as trying google i got max 26ms

hushed tinsel Jan 9, 2019, 10:39 PM

I havn't heard many others experiencing it, so has anyone else experienced the reload bug i've described in #bug-reports since the latest update dropped?

light mesa Jan 9, 2019, 10:45 PM

#

yeah

#

It's been around since the old reload bug was fixed

gritty token Jan 9, 2019, 10:58 PM

#

@left violet , the at this case it is most likely a bug with the game :/

blissful sequoia Jan 9, 2019, 10:58 PM

#

@left violet do you have any background things running? I have discovered Windows 10 photo viewer will do that while it indexes photos if its running in the background

gritty token Jan 9, 2019, 10:58 PM

#

I would check to make sure your Nvidia control panel has foxhole as GPU only

blissful sequoia Jan 9, 2019, 10:58 PM

#

it causes that exact kind of lag

gritty token Jan 9, 2019, 10:58 PM

#

^

#

That is a good point too

blissful sequoia Jan 9, 2019, 10:58 PM

#

also ive had something like that from a riser card on a video card - the extension cable for video cards to sit up right or something

#

ive had a riser card cause that same effect

#

and the windows photo viewer is very easy to replicate that .... it seems quet in the background, no cpu use, but its banging on the hard drive i think

left violet Jan 10, 2019, 1:30 AM

#

Yea I still haven't figured it out I've done exactly everything y'all have mentioned and some. I even installed the previous nvidia driver version and still no fix. The only thing I can think of is maybe the recent windows update or recent steam update maybe messed it up. I'm not sure. It could just be a bug as well. I also tested other games and no fps drop for them either. Regardless thanks for your help @gritty token and @blissful sequoia I'll let y'all know if a solution occurs

blissful sequoia Jan 10, 2019, 1:31 AM

#

there was a patch to foxhole like yesterday wasnt there? like maybe 36 hours ago?

#

i swear i saw it update yesterday... i wonder if something changed there caused this

#

@left violet just to be sure it's not mouse-related, right?

#

same stutter if you turn with , and . keys?

left violet Jan 10, 2019, 2:10 AM

#

Idk if there was or not honestly @blissful sequoia , And yea I tried turning with the keys and it still stutters. I've also tried mapping rotate to another button and still same problem.

gritty token Jan 10, 2019, 3:15 AM

#

check steam db for that

digital flower Jan 10, 2019, 4:01 AM

Game video keeps freezing but audio runs fine. I end up needing to kill it for not responding. Any hints of what's up?

sly mortar Jan 10, 2019, 4:02 AM

@digital flower Try verifying the files in steam, and updating your graphics drivers. Also make sure that you aren't overloading your GPU's ram (VRAM)

Is your mic correctly set within windows sound and game itself?

wintry parrot Jan 10, 2019, 2:35 PM

You need to go to settings in Windows for mic

What did you change?

steep parcel Jan 10, 2019, 2:40 PM

turned off automatically determined input sensitivity (again, should have already been off) switched between ptt and regular voice activity. So that works now apparently. Going to load steam back up and try foxhole again. Don't have any other multiplayer focused games to test unfortunately.

Nah, still not working. I'll leave it for now and come back on in a few hours. If it's still fucked I'll message in here again.

gritty token Jan 10, 2019, 5:08 PM

#

So, when you try to play foxhole, does any of your parts max out?

#

And are you on a 32bit system?

cunning sapphire Jan 10, 2019, 5:08 PM

#

64

gritty token Jan 10, 2019, 5:09 PM

#

okay. So when you foxhole, check and see if RAM maxes out

#

I have a feeling it does

cunning sapphire Jan 10, 2019, 5:09 PM

#

both RAM and CPu are at around 90%

gritty token Jan 10, 2019, 5:09 PM

#

So that is most likely the issue

#

If fox hole needs some memory or processing time and it hops just 10% up, it will max it out. So when you enter the home region, being that people are standing there, your computer may not be able to handle. Have you tried setting all graphics settings to low?

#

As well as maxing the GPUs capability in Nividia control panel?

#

Not GeForce

cunning sapphire Jan 10, 2019, 5:11 PM

#

By home region I meant Port of rime, the main city

@somber viper not to be rude, but can't you just open each one individually in notepad to find out?

the settings i mentioned don't save for me

i want them so i can add manually to file, which should work

but yes @inner basin you can just open them in notepad and look

@somber viper As far as I can tell from digging through the files looking for settings, I believe those are stored in the graphics section of the packed files.

@somber viper

Rohun delivers. The settings you were looking for (gamma/soundfx?) is here:

those are saved in the PlayerSaveGame in C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Local\Foxhole\Saved\SaveGames

grizzled tiger Jan 12, 2019, 6:12 AM

does anyone else have a problem with Foxhole listed as Running in Steam despite the game being closed? Already tried reinstalling but that didn't help, I have to restart Steam client to get it to stop

sly mortar Jan 12, 2019, 7:48 AM

Hmm, I'd say that on steam's side @grizzled tiger

#

I'd try reinstalling steam or verifying it somehow

somber viper Jan 12, 2019, 10:25 AM

@hot oak i see no "PlayerSaveGame" unless that's what you call the .sav file generated by UE4?

#

weird

somber viper Jan 12, 2019, 2:55 PM

#

uh.. possibly know what it could be.
only devs would be able to answer though..
do you strip forbidden characters (< > : " / \ | ? *) when naming the file for "PlayerSaveGame"? if not, windows won't create the file

#

that file name really shouldn't go by steam username; it can change very easily.. steamid or an internal account guid would be better

inner basin Jan 12, 2019, 3:42 PM

#

@hot oak

terse flume Jan 12, 2019, 6:11 PM

#

Cant you just make the file yourself?
Like for example you create a save file, call it "youringamename.sav"

#

If the file already has been created there shouldnt be an issue, even if its empty, it just should fill this file, instead of trying to make a new one

hot oak Jan 12, 2019, 6:48 PM

#

@somber viper can you make sure that folder isnt set to read only?

sly mortar Jan 12, 2019, 7:28 PM

#

#

@somber viper Does your steam name have special characters?

somber viper Jan 12, 2019, 7:29 PM

yeah

sly mortar Jan 12, 2019, 7:29 PM

#

Then that would probably do it

somber viper Jan 12, 2019, 7:29 PM

that's why i was asking if they validated the steam username when creating that file

sly mortar Jan 12, 2019, 7:30 PM

#

Are the characters Unicode?

#

📎 unknown.png

@somber viper Doesn't seem to be character based. I would make sure it isn't read only like KFC said

i dont know a specific way, but its a serialized object, so probably the UE engine can encode/decode that, I'm sure someone's made a program for it

^

somber viper Jan 13, 2019, 11:00 AM

#

@sly mortar unicode is allowed in windows file names.the specific characters i listed above are not. hence why i asked if they validate that the file name doesn't have them.

sly mortar Jan 13, 2019, 2:49 PM

#

@somber viper i was able to run it with non Unicode in the text, so I would make sure it isn’t read only. Also, try it without the special characters

somber viper Jan 13, 2019, 8:34 PM

run what?
i've stated there is already a sav file (named WarRecordList5.sav).. you should be able to infer R/W permissions
why should i have to change something that's allowed in my steam name for settings to save? this is really just a bug cus there's no validator when creating that file

#

the real problem is the logic of using the steam username rather than something standard, like steamid or some internal guid

Is it really possible to share Foxhole with other accounts via family-sharing? If so, then that would probably attribute to the issue of spies TKing and destroying buildings.

slender beacon Jan 14, 2019, 1:40 AM

@bitter bronze Yeah it is. It can be used for good and evil, basically since it is in fact another account. People can spy, or they can play their favorite faction while still being able to hop on the other with friends

bitter bronze Jan 14, 2019, 1:41 AM

Shame. Can't the Devs add in an internal look at what accounts are family-linked, or is that out of their jurisdiction?

@gritty token Hey! I tried the fix and the problem still persisted. Both sides of the voice chat work for about 5-10 minutes and then it will just cut off completely, can't hear or speak.

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.

Try that, if it doesn't work Ping me

I'd rather use Win10 over linux

blissful sequoia Jan 16, 2019, 2:01 AM

im right on the edge at this point, the only reason im even on win10 is for the linux subsystem

#

or can we dual boot 🤔

blissful sequoia Jan 16, 2019, 2:03 AM

#

you dont have to dual boot, steam has steam play now, it's fancy wine version, plays windows games (and other programs) REALLY well

#

and like 25% of your steam games are linux already anyway

#

giving up foxhole was never an option wardenlol

Lol sometimes turning it on and off works wonders xD

sleek barn Jan 16, 2019, 5:37 PM

#

using 2560x1080 completly cuts of the top of the screen so aiming becomes really hard since u cant see very far

gritty token Jan 16, 2019, 5:46 PM

#

Hmmm it may be because it isn't 2560x1440, so it is not a "normal UHD" resolution. What GPU do you have?

sleek barn Jan 16, 2019, 5:55 PM

#

It is not UHD, it is ultrawide, it is a monitor with 21:9 aspect ratio instead of 16:9. So the problem is that the game fits the screen to the horizontal line of the monitor and that way the top is cut off. If it fit based on the height you would see the normal distance up front but you would get a bit more vision on the side of your character. it would give a small advantage on the side vision but it wouldn't be that big of a deal, since the way it is now is totally unplayable.

gritty token Jan 16, 2019, 6:06 PM

#

Yeah I just asked someone upstairs. They said they do not support it right now because it would give an unfair advantage but HB does have plans to bring it to the game

#

To make the game playable, I would launch it in 1080p

sleek barn Jan 16, 2019, 6:07 PM

alright, thanks for the answer

iirc, play with perfect square and you get max fov?

gritty token Jan 16, 2019, 7:12 PM

#

No, the more streched your screen, the further you can see out of the corner

#

A square would be less corner vision, a rectangle is better

inner basin Jan 16, 2019, 10:07 PM

#

uh no, 4:3 aspect ratio grants you the maximum view range

#

I've played on my crappy monitor and it is advantageous I'd say

Hello, i just bought the game and i have some tehnical problems. When i start the game the audio and the IG actions work but the visual info in not updating, it looks like the game is frozen even if it still works( i can still open by accident some tabs).

hmm

#

start by the standard "did you shut it on and off" method by verifying game cache

#

after that give me a minute to think of some ideas lol

#

@terse flume

#

also what graphics card you running?

#

and if you dont have one, that could probably be it lol

terse flume Jan 18, 2019, 9:49 PM

I did restart

alright, so you can start up the game and get into the launch screen and everything just fine, but as soon as you actually get into the game the screen is just frozen?

terse flume Jan 18, 2019, 9:53 PM

#

yes

#

But i can hear that i can still interact with the IIg buttons

#

For example i can open the links with the dev stream by pressing randomly on the screen

hushed tinsel Jan 18, 2019, 9:56 PM

#

did you go warden or collie this war? i wanna troubleshoot a little in spawn to see exactly how it works lol
and voice chat would be easier to go through and try things

#

havn't seen anyone with your problem before so this may take a bit

terse flume Jan 18, 2019, 9:58 PM

#

Sorry i maby said something worg. I start the game from my desktop

#

But right when it starts it freezez

#

I din t even go that far as seeing the factions :))

hushed tinsel Jan 18, 2019, 9:58 PM

#

ooh

#

I see

#

damn...

#

even worse than I thought then

#

first gut guess is it's a memory problem, like for some reason the game isn't using any of your RAM

blissful sequoia Jan 18, 2019, 10:01 PM

#

are you able to adjust settings in the game or does it freeze before that?

terse flume Jan 18, 2019, 10:02 PM

#

with some clever tab spamming i can

blissful sequoia Jan 18, 2019, 10:02 PM

#

hmm I wonder if you could set the video to full screen windowed

#

or even windowed

terse flume Jan 18, 2019, 10:02 PM

#

i tryed

#

din t work

#

lets me check again

blissful sequoia Jan 18, 2019, 10:03 PM

#

his alt + tab still works, so i doubt its a memory issue

#

wonder if it could be freesync related...

hushed tinsel Jan 18, 2019, 10:03 PM

#

fair point

#

didnt consider that lol

blissful sequoia Jan 18, 2019, 10:04 PM

just thought maybe cause it was amd ...

you have tried other games on this successfully, @terse flume ?

blissful sequoia Jan 18, 2019, 10:09 PM

i wonder if the beta branch is still up to try...

#

maybe @inner basin or @sly mortar might have some ideas...

#

or maybe they know of anyone else who had this...

#

i wonder...is there an error window popping up that you might not see?

#

that could appear to stall the video, and maybe if the audio is loaded into a buffer youd just keep hearing that

#

i would expect to find that with alt+tab tho

XX/8gb

#

It uses a fair amount, there are a lot of other players, bullets and buildings it needs to render

#

Also uses a fair amount of RAM

#

I have a feeling the issue here is RAM is maxing out

Windows 10 and 8GB of ram is never a good combo

blissful sequoia Jan 18, 2019, 10:23 PM

could it be keyboard/mouse related instead of video?

gritty token Jan 18, 2019, 10:23 PM

I think he may need to change some settings in the AMD control panel doe

blissful sequoia Jan 18, 2019, 10:23 PM

#

theres nothing moving on the splash screen anyway to see if its changing

gritty token Jan 18, 2019, 10:24 PM

if he is using Vsync, he needs his GPU set to global for all applications

#

I know how to do it in Nvidia, it has been way too long since i used my RTX280

#

so i dont know the AMD control panel well

blissful sequoia Jan 18, 2019, 10:25 PM

or if he could manually change it to windowed mode in the settings file and start it

terse flume Jan 18, 2019, 10:27 PM

#

I swiched to windowed and put on a lower res

#

when i tabed out i could see the buttons flashing as if i can acces them

blissful sequoia Jan 18, 2019, 10:28 PM

#

god it really sounds like the game crashed

#

like theres a messagebox somewhere in the back talking about UE failing ... no?

terse flume Jan 18, 2019, 10:28 PM

#

sadly no

blissful sequoia Jan 18, 2019, 10:29 PM

#

i wonder if theres some kind of triple frame buffering thing in the AMD panel or something ... hmm

#

and where does war.exe hover in your process list on CPU use? I found when it crashes it uses a lot or none

gritty token Jan 18, 2019, 10:30 PM

#

We need that AMD panel @terse flume

blissful sequoia Jan 18, 2019, 10:30 PM

#

and just to confirm - it's frozen display even in windowed mode, right?

gritty token Jan 18, 2019, 10:30 PM

#

That may be where we need to go

terse flume Jan 18, 2019, 10:30 PM

#

yes

#

Second

#

📎 unknown.png

#

this one right?

gritty token Jan 18, 2019, 10:31 PM

#

Im not sure tbh, but looks like it

#

Nvidias is wayyyyyyy less pretty looking

#

I would check to see if you can find anything for foxhole in there

#

Maybe some global settings

#

And just to double ask, your GPU drivers are up to date?

terse flume Jan 18, 2019, 10:32 PM

#

it dose not

blissful sequoia Jan 18, 2019, 10:32 PM

#

it says 2019 version RIGHT on there

#

so we know its at least 3 weeks new

gritty token Jan 18, 2019, 10:32 PM

#

Well that is the client date

#

not driver date

#

or atleast i can see D:

blissful sequoia Jan 18, 2019, 10:32 PM

#

yea i know hehe

gritty token Jan 18, 2019, 10:32 PM

#

But, derp please try helping him still, i am at work and need to hop on a call D:

blissful sequoia Jan 18, 2019, 10:33 PM

#

can you screen shot the foxhole window?

gritty token Jan 18, 2019, 10:33 PM

#

I will be back later

terse flume Jan 18, 2019, 10:33 PM

#

i can update it

blissful sequoia Jan 18, 2019, 10:33 PM

#

lol im at work too - which is why im reading technical chat instead of playing

terse flume Jan 18, 2019, 10:33 PM

#

can t find global setings

blissful sequoia Jan 18, 2019, 10:33 PM

#

any global settings are probably under display

terse flume Jan 18, 2019, 10:33 PM

#

📎 unknown.png

#

only some display settings

blissful sequoia Jan 18, 2019, 10:34 PM

#

ick id turn GPU scaling off

#

and virtual super resolution

terse flume Jan 18, 2019, 10:34 PM

#

ok

blissful sequoia Jan 18, 2019, 10:34 PM

#

those just kind of make stuff blurry, but they probably wont hurt anything

#

i always hated how amd would turn that stuff on, and then i see black bars around my screen and you stretch your screen out to oversample

#

and youve just wiped your butt with pixels...

terse flume Jan 18, 2019, 10:35 PM

#

that some how worked

#

i can now acces it

#

without tabing

blissful sequoia Jan 18, 2019, 10:35 PM

#

access foxhole?

terse flume Jan 18, 2019, 10:35 PM

#

still it works with 0.5 frames a sec

blissful sequoia Jan 18, 2019, 10:36 PM

#

hmm

terse flume Jan 18, 2019, 10:36 PM

#

let me put the normal res

blissful sequoia Jan 18, 2019, 10:36 PM

#

yea maybe restart it and whole PC

#

your screen still looks good? no black bars around the border?

#

god why does amd make that a default settings, thats so funky.

terse flume Jan 18, 2019, 10:37 PM

#

looks good

blissful sequoia Jan 18, 2019, 10:37 PM

#

ok id definitely leave that scaling off then hehe

terse flume Jan 18, 2019, 10:37 PM

#

alright

#

see you in a bit

blissful sequoia Jan 18, 2019, 10:38 PM

#

ok I'm going to go grab some lunch, might be afk for a little while

terse flume Jan 18, 2019, 10:38 PM

#

Back

#

Alright

#

Foxhole in the AMD settings now

#

📎 unknown.png

blissful sequoia Jan 18, 2019, 10:46 PM

#

when in doubt, let the program decide

#

like with the vsync

#

surface format optimization? dunno what that is... id probably turn it off to test i dunno

#

would turn off freesync too (although I think is already unsupported on your system anyway)

#

honestly, youd be pretty safe just setting anything to use application settings

terse flume Jan 18, 2019, 10:50 PM

#

📎 unknown.png

#

nvm it was funny , you could see how the game slitted in 2

#

splitted

#

for a sec

#

Ok this game is makeing fun of me , for a second it worked...

blissful sequoia Jan 18, 2019, 10:53 PM

#

well we know its not a full screen prob, shouldnt be ram ...

#

not vsync, probably not amd settings

#

not resolution ..

#

and probably not keyboard/mouse right? because sometimes you can click and then alt tab and see the change?

terse flume Jan 18, 2019, 10:55 PM

#

yes

blissful sequoia Jan 18, 2019, 10:55 PM

#

and youre hearing sound the entire time, right?

terse flume Jan 18, 2019, 10:55 PM

#

yes

blissful sequoia Jan 18, 2019, 10:57 PM

#

i really cant think of ... a cause hmm

#

if your bandwidth is pretty good, i would suggest right click on the game in steam, properties, betas, and maybe try the development branch or an older branch like .14

#

just to see if theres a version of this game that can navigate between screens (you wont be able to join a server probably)

#

this might need a dev's help if we cant think of more ideas to try

#

like a bug report with your hardware specs for them... i had a problem between 2 patches once that everything was rendering very slowly

#

like i was trapped in slow motion, and it was something they fixed and i think i was maybe the only one who reported it...

terse flume Jan 18, 2019, 10:59 PM

#

Yeah i send a mail

#

before comming to discorde

#

discrod

blissful sequoia Jan 18, 2019, 11:00 PM

#

oh cool

terse flume Jan 18, 2019, 11:00 PM

#

It is a special problem

blissful sequoia Jan 18, 2019, 11:00 PM

#

when i had that video problem they had a patch to fix it like 1-2 days later

terse flume Jan 18, 2019, 11:00 PM

#

like 1/10000

blissful sequoia Jan 18, 2019, 11:00 PM

#

it sounds ... pretty unique

#

i cant help but think it might be software related

terse flume Jan 18, 2019, 11:00 PM

#

and i`m sure its something really stupid

#

like sound is on 99 volume and not 100

#

jking ofc

blissful sequoia Jan 18, 2019, 11:01 PM

#

if only ...

#

its also possible theyve heard of the bug before and know a fix

amd, UE engine, and somebody else with a similar prob...

#

i know its a different game, just thinking this problem might not be foxhole specific

#

he went to driver version 17.4.1 to solve it, but this is a year old...

terse flume Jan 18, 2019, 11:04 PM

#

thats exaclty what i have

blissful sequoia Jan 18, 2019, 11:04 PM

#

based on this post, i really think its a driver issue

#

some people posted on there a complete driver uninstall and reinstalling specific versions helped them

#

(this game also uses unreal engine)

terse flume Jan 18, 2019, 11:07 PM

#

Then i`ll reinstal some drivers

#

This might be just it

blissful sequoia Jan 18, 2019, 11:09 PM

#

if you try that route, really figure out how to totally uninstall the current drivers

#

ya know like, confirm versions if possible, and when you reinstall a different version confirm its actually that version

#

for science ™

terse flume Jan 18, 2019, 11:10 PM

#

1st i wannt try and upate

#

to the currect version, if not i`ll reinstal

blissful sequoia Jan 18, 2019, 11:10 PM

#

current issue might actually have a problem

#

if it were me, id probably try that 17.4.1 version first

#

or 17.4.x

terse flume Jan 18, 2019, 11:17 PM

#

yeha

#

yeah*

#

I think i`m take a brake

#

At least ik how to repair this

#

Thank you Derp and everyone else for helping me

#

I could not come this far alone

blissful sequoia Jan 18, 2019, 11:22 PM

well we don't know the solution yet for sure

let us know...

lucid rapids Jan 19, 2019, 12:01 AM

#

hey! I have some kind of audio problem with all games that use unreal engine 4, i get no sound in game, i tried contacting unreal engine support but no luck.

blissful sequoia Jan 19, 2019, 12:06 AM

#

what other games? like fortnite?

#

i only ask to see if they share the vivox voice engine

#

and then ill ask if its like ALL sound

lucid rapids Jan 19, 2019, 12:22 AM

#

ark survival and squad, i also play insurgency sandstorm but the sound works @blissful sequoia

#

in ark the sound will work in the start, then it will dissapear. squad has no sound at all, only a static sound. foxhole sometimes have voice chat sound, but nothing else

sly mortar Jan 19, 2019, 12:25 AM

#

Hmm

#

Try this https://ptb.discordapp.com/channels/203512636556574720/374272127953666048/497281479135461387 @lucid rapids. It might work, it might not, but it's the only thing I can think of maybe working

blissful sequoia Jan 19, 2019, 12:27 AM

#

and do you hear normal sound in windows, like if you go to youtube or whatever - regular sound outside of games works?

#

it actually sounds like ... a loose or bad wire to tell you the truth

lucid rapids Jan 19, 2019, 12:28 AM

#

normal sound in everything else

blissful sequoia Jan 19, 2019, 12:28 AM

#

interesting...

#

and in the sound control panel you have the right device selected as the default sound device (and maybe also communication device)?

#

to you have like a speakers + headset or something more complicated that a single sound device?

lucid rapids Jan 19, 2019, 12:30 AM

#

i have a hyper x headset with a mic plugged in, and it is set to default

blissful sequoia Jan 19, 2019, 12:30 AM

#

is it like a surround sound deal?

#

i wonder if you are hearing surround sound and only hearing sounds behind you and voices

#

or something odd like that

#

theyre just a stereo headset?

lucid rapids Jan 19, 2019, 12:32 AM

#

it is stereo headset

blissful sequoia Jan 19, 2019, 12:33 AM

#

and in foxhole - in the sound settings there is a sub menu and options for the sound devices, 2 of them - are those set right?

#

its one of the pinned items icanari linked

lucid rapids Jan 19, 2019, 12:33 AM

#

yeah they are set to the correct one

blissful sequoia Jan 19, 2019, 12:34 AM

#

i cant quite understand why games only have problems with it...

lucid rapids Jan 19, 2019, 12:35 AM

#

yeah been trying to figure it out all day, saw some people having similar issues but nothing helped

blissful sequoia Jan 19, 2019, 12:35 AM

#

is that a comfortable headset? i really need to get a new one...

#

other people with the same issue? we know about voice chat issues but not really regular sound issues

#

i wonder if there is a new bug...

lucid rapids Jan 19, 2019, 12:35 AM

#

yeah its a good one, cheapear than most but great quality

blissful sequoia Jan 19, 2019, 12:35 AM

#

i dont really need great sound quality, just comfort...

lucid rapids Jan 19, 2019, 12:36 AM

#

i saw people in squad have similar issues not in foxhole

blissful sequoia Jan 19, 2019, 12:36 AM

#

does the headset plug in with USB or stereo 3.5mm jack?

lucid rapids Jan 19, 2019, 12:36 AM

#

3.5 jack

blissful sequoia Jan 19, 2019, 12:37 AM

#

so i imagine if you had another set of headphones or earbuds or speakers and you plugged them into the same jack they also dont have sound?

lucid rapids Jan 19, 2019, 12:37 AM

#

correct

#

I've reinstalled my audio drivers also

blissful sequoia Jan 19, 2019, 12:38 AM

#

so its the sound card, or the sound drivers, or directx, or foxhole then... i would think

#

probably not the sound card because ... other sounds work

lucid rapids Jan 19, 2019, 12:38 AM

#

ye

blissful sequoia Jan 19, 2019, 12:38 AM

#

what sound device is it? like what sound card

#

realtek or something?

lucid rapids Jan 19, 2019, 12:39 AM

#

I'm using asus rog strix b360-f gaming motherboard with built in sound card. it realtek

#

it is*

blissful sequoia Jan 19, 2019, 12:40 AM

#

and in the sound control panel, configure speakers, its set to stereo/headphones?

#

its not set to 5.1 or 7.1 right?

lucid rapids Jan 19, 2019, 12:41 AM

#

correct

blissful sequoia Jan 19, 2019, 12:42 AM

#

hmm

#

do you happen to know what sample rate its set to? like 44100 16-bit?

#

its in the properties of the sound device

#

im really reaching here, cant imagine this being the issue...

#

but im trying to figure out what a game would do different with the audio device from the regular OS ... and maybe it would open the device at a different sample rate or bit depth

#

really seems like an audio driver problem...

lucid rapids Jan 19, 2019, 12:44 AM

#

I've already tried different sample rates, no luck. deafault is 24 bit, 48000 Hz

sly mortar Jan 19, 2019, 12:45 AM

#

Have you updated your audio drivers?

lucid rapids Jan 19, 2019, 12:45 AM

#

yes

sly mortar Jan 19, 2019, 12:45 AM

#

Has the sound worked in the past?

blissful sequoia Jan 19, 2019, 12:45 AM

#

where did you get the drivers from? asus or realtek?

lucid rapids Jan 19, 2019, 12:46 AM

#

built the pc under a month ago so I never played foxhole or squad on it before. The drivers were downloaded from asus to ensure i got the correct ones

blissful sequoia Jan 19, 2019, 12:46 AM

#

i wonder if its ... 3d positional sounds are the problem

#

i wonder if its worth trying drivers from realtek or windows update instead

lucid rapids Jan 19, 2019, 12:47 AM

#

tried that already

#

same problem

sly mortar Jan 19, 2019, 12:47 AM

#

Try loading previous drivers

#

From before the ones you first got for the PC

blissful sequoia Jan 19, 2019, 12:48 AM

#

like from july 2018

#

wish we had more things to test with ... like if you had any other sound device you could try

#

like if your monitor has an audio out you could try with the HDMI audio... or if you had a headset with a USB plugin

#

just to rule out foxhole the game being the issue, it might narrow it in harder on driver issues

#

if you built the computer, i imagine you might have something like that?

lucid rapids Jan 19, 2019, 12:50 AM

#

Already tried with the monitor audio output, same problem

blissful sequoia Jan 19, 2019, 12:50 AM

#

oooooh thats interesting

#

because thats a different driver, thats video card drivers with their audio driver subset

lucid rapids Jan 19, 2019, 12:51 AM

#

yeah correct

blissful sequoia Jan 19, 2019, 12:51 AM

#

so any time you load a game ... sound dies...

lucid rapids Jan 19, 2019, 12:51 AM

#

not any game, only some ue4 games

blissful sequoia Jan 19, 2019, 12:51 AM

#

is it lowering the volume when the communications device is being used? for example might try turning off voice in the settings and disabling voice any way you can

#

and see if the regular game sounds work - there is that windows setting to quiet normal sound whenever using the mic

#

theres that windows setting in the sound control panel to lower the volume of regular sounds when using the mic or communications device

lucid rapids Jan 19, 2019, 12:52 AM

#

i have that turned off

blissful sequoia Jan 19, 2019, 12:52 AM

#

hmm

lucid rapids Jan 19, 2019, 12:52 AM

#

I'm foxhole right now and i hear voice chat

blissful sequoia Jan 19, 2019, 12:53 AM

#

so its not the audio drivers, not the sound card, not the headset

#

but only voice chat?

lucid rapids Jan 19, 2019, 12:53 AM

#

ye only voice

#

fucking weird

blissful sequoia Jan 19, 2019, 12:54 AM

#

double check that sound setting in foxhole for the sound device

#

maybe it got reset?

#

or maybe its not the right one actually

lucid rapids Jan 19, 2019, 12:54 AM

#

1 sec

#

i only have 2 options, headset or the monitor, both yeild the same outcome

blissful sequoia Jan 19, 2019, 12:57 AM

#

im kind of surprised, im used to realtek devices having a lot of outputs

#

like HDA, digital, blah blah

sly mortar Jan 19, 2019, 12:57 AM

#

By default they don't have digital outputs

blissful sequoia Jan 19, 2019, 12:57 AM

#

theres like 3 output devices on every one of them

sly mortar Jan 19, 2019, 12:57 AM

#

At least on the low end models

#

Or even medium end

blissful sequoia Jan 19, 2019, 12:58 AM

#

ah jeez mine do and theyre not high end

sly mortar Jan 19, 2019, 12:58 AM

#

Then you're lucky

blissful sequoia Jan 19, 2019, 12:58 AM

#

lol ...lucky

lucid rapids Jan 19, 2019, 12:58 AM

#

in the playback device config i habve my monitor, headset and digital output
