He didn't apparentl

blissful sequoia
#

oh thats so useful

sly mortar
#

I see the same thing I always have

#

Yeah

gritty token
#

But If it isn't resolving the IP Address, that points to DNS not picking it up

blissful sequoia
#

thats all i was asking him for yesterday lol

sly mortar
#

@celest aurora Could your reset your DNS settings so that it uses your ISP's?

blissful sequoia
#

aws is regional

#

he will likely get a different IP

#

but the page should look the same

celest aurora
#

I just did

#

Still nothing on the dns look up

#

reset my dns to resolve from isp

blissful sequoia
#

have you run an ipconfig /flushdns on the command line?

celest aurora
#

Have now. Nothing

blissful sequoia
#

or if you are using chrome, i suggest trying another browser because chrome is downright obnoxious about caching DNS entries

celest aurora
#

Firefox

#

Im pinging that address from cmd anyway

blissful sequoia
#

its funny, if we knew the DNS of the actual server list you could just make a manual entry and force it

#

oh ok

#

i mean i guess you could make a manual entry for s3.amazonaws.com in c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file

celest aurora
#

please god no

blissful sequoia
#

why not?

#

its so easy, such an easy test

sly mortar
#

mhm hmm

celest aurora
#

This is where I set this up and forget about it and it breaks in 8 months time and I have to spend hours finding what I did

blissful sequoia
#

open notepad as administrator, open c:\Windows\System32\Drivers\Etc\hosts and add entry "88.221.214.57 s3.amazonaws.com" and save

#

leave it open so you can delete the line and save it later if it starts to work

celest aurora
#

Yeah?

blissful sequoia
#

hopefully their server list that comes back is IPs and not DNSs

celest aurora
blissful sequoia
#

yep just put it at the top

#

bottom is fine too

#

yea thats fine

celest aurora
#

How tf do I open as admin with win10

#

I hate that they hide dev tools away

blissful sequoia
#

right click it

#

open as admin...

#

run as administrator

celest aurora
blissful sequoia
#

uhh hit start button, type notepad, the shortcut that comes up right click

celest aurora
#

Done

#

flush?

blissful sequoia
#

i kind of secretly suspect they have their own foxhole subdomain on the dns... but at least the web page should come up

#

nah doesnt need a flush

#

hosts file beats everything ... even beats tank

celest aurora
#

Now?

blissful sequoia
#

yea refresh firefox, see if it comes up

#

and then test foxhole if that works

celest aurora
#

I get invalid url now

blissful sequoia
celest aurora
blissful sequoia
#

it doesnt have the full address

celest aurora
blissful sequoia
#

AHA

#

your problem is bad certificate?

sly mortar
#

Fucking SSL

blissful sequoia
#

akamai??

celest aurora
#

Yes....?

blissful sequoia
#

look at that

#

man in the middle attack

#

someone is pushing their own SSL certs

#

as if they are amazon

sly mortar
#

sigh

blissful sequoia
#

did we give the wrong IP address?

#

hold on

#

please change IP in hosts file to 52.119.164.244 @celest aurora

#

maybe that one was some other service

sly mortar
#

just to make sure

#

If it doesn't work and has the same issue... time to clean certs

#

sigh

blissful sequoia
#

lol more than that

#

means he's being a proxy messing with his stuff

celest aurora
#

I get the exact same thing

blissful sequoia
#

oh boy...

sly mortar
#

Oh... great...

blissful sequoia
#

some program or router is intercepting your traffic

sly mortar
#

This is going to be... interesting

blissful sequoia
#

so all certificates look bad because theyre coming from another source

celest aurora
#

Is this specific to me?

blissful sequoia
#

he shouldnt be able to access any https site, right?

#

i think its specific to you, maybe...

sly mortar
#

Try accessing this

blissful sequoia
#

or maybe everyone got their routers hacked at the same time

sly mortar
#

because I randomly had that open, and it's HTTPs

celest aurora
#

Hangs

blissful sequoia
#

aha!!!

celest aurora
#

can't i just https google?

blissful sequoia
#

yea

celest aurora
#

Google is fine

blissful sequoia
#

maybe theyll pass google through legit heheh

sly mortar
#

Google should be fine

#

It accepts pretty much everything

blissful sequoia
#

dns name is encrypted too tho so hmm...

#

he went to https://www.google.com/ i think

#

and it was fine

sly mortar
#

Yes

#

But that will literally accept anything

#

I know that

blissful sequoia
#

but your other https certificates are being intercepted

sly mortar
#

Because I've fucked my own cert up and had that happen

blissful sequoia
#

so now to figure out why...

sly mortar
#

My guess is man in the middle

blissful sequoia
#

definitely, but from where

sly mortar
#

@celest aurora Are you port forwarding anything on your router?

blissful sequoia
#

do you use a proxy software, @celest aurora

celest aurora
#
  1. But let me check get it up
sly mortar
#

Stop portforwarding it. You shouldn't have to

blissful sequoia
#

unless you have a web server...

#

or vpn...

celest aurora
#

Will a man in a middle care about local ip differences, or I guess all traffic coming from my global adress?

gritty token
#

it would be your public ip

#

so global

#

Good ol NAT

celest aurora
#

Well fuck.

blissful sequoia
#

it could be on his local PC only

celest aurora
#

Not sure I want to post a pic of my table here.

gritty token
#

Nah do not

celest aurora
#

We have rules open

sly mortar
#

Don't

gritty token
#

Don't post anything here with that type of info lol

#

I would DM us if you need to

blissful sequoia
#

im not sure its an open rules problem...

sly mortar
#

No, wait

#

I have a discord which can do screensharing if we need it

#

a server which can

#

not a call

blissful sequoia
#

ok so ... lets figure out where it is then

#

do you have another computer to test with on the same network, @celest aurora? a mobile phone or laptop or something?

sly mortar
#

^

gritty token
#

Why not run a tracert?

blissful sequoia
#

what would it tell us?

sly mortar
#

The main problem with this is that there are so many fucking man in the middle attacks

gritty token
#

Should that tell you if you hit someone else?

sly mortar
#

It might?

celest aurora
#

I can grab one.

sly mortar
#

I know man in the middle attacks can get around them though

blissful sequoia
#

we know he gets internet traffic/routing

sly mortar
#

@celest aurora Please do so

blissful sequoia
#

we can only assume its the correct gateway

#

his ISP and not some proxy software...

sly mortar
#

That will determine whether it is PC based, or router based effectively

blissful sequoia
#

oh i guess the tracert would determine that

gritty token
#

Yes yes, but wouldn't a man in the middle mean that someone else public IP pulls up?

sly mortar
#

Maybe?

blissful sequoia
#

no

sly mortar
#

I remember hearing about man in the middles which didn't

gritty token
#

wait i think what i wrote made no sense

blissful sequoia
#

he has the right IP

sly mortar
#

Wrong cert

blissful sequoia
#

but the traffic is intercepted, so https connection fails to amazon

#

and then this other server answers the request to aws.amazon.com but says its a different server

gritty token
#

Yeah so if you send a traffic request out via tracert, it should give you each hop on the way

blissful sequoia
#

oh wait.

#

i might have given him another wrong IP address.

sly mortar
#

Doubt it

blissful sequoia
#

please try 52.216.9.253

celest aurora
#

I have a macbook.

sly mortar
#

Try that

blissful sequoia
#

definitely wrong.

celest aurora
#

Im pinging a lot of random ip's I don't know right now

#

0_0

gritty token
#

lol someones going to hate you

blissful sequoia
#

thats ok... they wont notice

gritty token
#

jk of course

blissful sequoia
#

you wouldnt believe how many chinese IP addresses try to hack me every day

gritty token
#

You aren't flooding their domain

blissful sequoia
#

i would say chinese but i doubt even half of them are chinese people

gritty token
#

Dude wireshark is scary to pull up sometimes lol

#

You see all the random people pinging you

sly mortar
#

Yeah

#

And then there's the time I "accidentally" pinged my parent's PC 40000 times...

blissful sequoia
#

random pinging and port scanning is unnerving, but attempts to log in to your router or ssh servers is ugly

celest aurora
#

That new ip gives

#

trouble finding that site

#

then connection timed

blissful sequoia
#

when i used to live on dial up people on broadband could ping flood me out of existance 😦

#

now i have the fiber...

#

connection timed...

#

ok so not man in the middle, you can be relieved

#

it sounds like routing to amazon is not working. traceroute might be useful now

sly mortar
#

I mean.. then why isn't it working to other places

blissful sequoia
#

i say might, because most routes involve routers that dont respond so its hard to know where it dies

#

i dont know - have you never had a piece of the internet go dark for you before?

#

he should be able to ping 52.216.9.253 or s3.amazonaws.com and if he cant, makes me think its ...borked

celest aurora
#

I can't ping that IP

blissful sequoia
#

so either your firewall blocks outgoing ping (unlikely), youre blocking incoming ping responses from that specific address (unlikely) or the route between you and amazon is dead

#

again, it would really help if you could test that URL from another computer

celest aurora
#

I have

blissful sequoia
#

using the same network...

#

same thing?

celest aurora
#

timed out

blissful sequoia
#

you already reset your router?

celest aurora
#

yep

#

Since the problem started yes

blissful sequoia
#

and you can ping other ips and get pong sometimes, right?

celest aurora
#

ye

blissful sequoia
#

really sounds like the internet is broken

#

or your ISP has a bad route

#

what options does that give you ... if its true hmm ...

#

waiting it out, or using a VPN

#

or contacting ISP and complaining

celest aurora
#

its 1am. Not hanging on the phone for an hour to explain this to some non-tech to wait again to get connected to a real tech

blissful sequoia
#

1am ... brazil?

celest aurora
#

uk

blissful sequoia
#

hmm

celest aurora
#

are you sure that test.json works?

#

Whats even ment to come up

blissful sequoia
#

{
"title": "test",
"test1": false
}

#

and of course the green lock and stuff

#

if youve got a mobile phone and take it off wifi you can probably see it

gritty token
#

Lol i work for a VoIP company as a tech rep

#

So i know that feeling XD

#

Call in and get someone who knows nothing thennnn you get to me

sly mortar
#

after 8 hours

celest aurora
#

^^^

gritty token
#

more like 8 tries

blissful sequoia
#

is there a password i can give to let them know ive already tried restarting it and stuff?

#

as a troubleshooter, i hate when people wont try the obvious thing theyve already tried because i dont trust them

#

so i just do it for the tech support people anyway but i HATE it

celest aurora
#

Im only a hobbyist with pc's. But explaining even basic tech issues to normals is brain numbing

gritty token
#

Lol i know that feeling XD

blissful sequoia
#

car analogies work wonders

gritty token
#

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

#

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

#

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

#

Holy shit yes

blissful sequoia
#

ok so the router is like your clutch. oh you drive an automatic? oh you dont drive. hm...

celest aurora
#

hahah

gritty token
#

It works soooo well

sly mortar
#

and then you have the people who only use bikes because they're "green focused"

blissful sequoia
#

green focused = 2nd DUI

sly mortar
#

Wait

celest aurora
#

I don't know cars well enough to use them in analogies

gritty token
#

but you can get a DUI on a bike ;D

sly mortar
#

Can you get a drunk driving ticket when biking?

blissful sequoia
#

you can get a DUI on a freakin horse!!

gritty token
#

You can get a DUI on a damn scooter

sly mortar
#

Eh, true

gritty token
#

You get a DUI, you get a DUI, you get a DUI!

#

But back to the topic at hand

#

Lol

blissful sequoia
#

test on mobile network, test tomorrow, etc

#

i think its routing problem

#

sorry for giving you that wrong IP and making a scary haxor thing

gritty token
#

I would also try seeing if you have the same issue outside of your house

blissful sequoia
#

if its a routing problem by the ISP it usually will be self corrected in time...

celest aurora
#

what like, stand outside with my laptap yeah? coloniallol

blissful sequoia
#

find an open wifi somewhere

#

got a neighbor with one?

#

mobile hotspot would probably work too

gritty token
#

No lol go to anywhere with free wifi and see

#

or a friend

celest aurora
#

Im joking ofc

gritty token
#

but who REALLY has friends D:

celest aurora
#

THEY ALL PLAY FOXHOLE

#

RIGHT NOW

#

AND IM NOT

lament ember
#

hey guys, everytime i try to travel to a different area on the map it loads for a good 5 minutes then crashes saying "connection to server timed out"

celest aurora
#

Anyways, thanks for the help guys, I appreciate the effort. Guess Im just going to have to wait for this to blow over.

lament ember
#

is there a solution to this

sly mortar
#

@lament ember Have you restarted steam?

lament ember
#

uh

#

no

#

ill try that

sly mortar
#

Try that

#

If it doesn't work ping me

gritty token
#

@celest aurora , best of luck, reach back out for more help if needed

sly mortar
#

^

celest aurora
#

Cheers

gritty token
#

Cheers!

blissful sequoia
#

are you in the UK too, @lament ember maybe you guys have the same ISP

lament ember
#

nah im USA

gritty token
#

Round 2

#

Fight

blissful sequoia
#

when it loads does it go to black or just show the loading screen?

#

oh hey

lament ember
#

it laods for a bit then it goes back to the main menu

blissful sequoia
#

we can use that now!

#

it should just say test on it

blissful sequoia
#

@lament ember were you able to load that link? do you see the test page?

lament ember
#

yeah

blissful sequoia
#

ok so your DNS works then, probably...

#

you may want to do a reinstall, including deleting files that get left behind in the steam commonapps and in your appdata/local

lament ember
#

well it says

#

{
"title": "test",
"test1": false
}

blissful sequoia
#

yea thats right

lament ember
#

oh alright

blissful sequoia
#

if you do the reinstall, youve got to delete those hanging files...

lament ember
#

i restarted steam and it still timed out so im gonna try that

blissful sequoia
#

hopefully someone can help out, im about to take a break

#

particularly the %appdata%\..\local\foxhole directory should be nuked

lament ember
#

thanks for the help

blissful sequoia
#

and the one in program files x86 -> steam -> commonapps -> foxhole

#

that one too

#

then reinstall it

#

you will have to reset settings, of course 😦

lament ember
#

how do i get to appdata?

sly mortar
#

Type %appdata% into your windows search bar

lament ember
#

idk why how i got tech wizard role lol

sly mortar
lament ember
#

is that for windows 10?

sly mortar
#

What windows do you have?

lament ember
#

windows 10

sly mortar
#

Then yeah, it will work

blissful sequoia
#

you can copy and paste the appdata folder as i typed it, with the .. also

#

dunno why but appdata leads to roaming folder by default, not local

sly mortar
#

Because that's where people go more I guess?

#

ĀÆ_(惄)_/ĀÆ

blissful sequoia
#

isnt roaming like ... for active directory accounts? nobody in a home environment is doing that

#

unless roaming means something else i dont understand

#

its the user's documents and settings that are migrated to different machines across a network

sly mortar
#

That's correct

celest aurora
#

Guys, I can't live without foxhole for this long

#

-_-

sly mortar
#

Try a VPN?

#

Might work?

#

Might not?

celest aurora
#

yeah

#

I just bought a month of PIA

sly mortar
#

That's about all I can tell you without knowing the reason your cert is fucked up

blissful sequoia
#

cert is fine

#

that was my bad, i gave him wrong IP

#

he cant connect to the right server at all, routing problem or something

#

feel pretty confident pia should fix that

sly mortar
#

Oh

blissful sequoia
#

and you can play your alt now too triggered

gritty token
#

pia is the shit too

#

i love it

buoyant valley
#

hii

#

sorry I just missed you bois

coarse shoal
#

What do I do

#

It constantly says this

#

I verified cache no cigar

sly mortar
#

@coarse shoal try restarting steam, restarting PC, if that doesn’t work ping tech wizards, I have to do stuff

coarse shoal
#

K

worn forge
blissful sequoia
#

@worn forge looks corrupt AF

#

format that sucker

#

do a full format too, not quick, make sure its not full of bad sectors

worn forge
#

is it possible that i has been used before?

blissful sequoia
#

possibly, but that is not what youre seeing

#

unless you can identify some common language in there, i cant

worn forge
#

not really i can't either

blissful sequoia
#

its an in tact file table pointing at a bunch of nonsense

#

i would say maybe somebody passed a very powerful magnet over it but ... nope

#

i would just format it and see if its cleaned up

worn forge
#

what if it didn't have anything in it and someone passed a magnet by it would the same thing happen?

#

or does it must have something in the usb

blissful sequoia
#

no magnets dont affect that stuff

#

and it would mangle the file table too

sly mortar
#

@worn forge formar it, you should be fine afterword

#

That’s just a bunch of random characters

worn forge
#

but why would it happen if it's supposed to be brand new?

sly mortar
#

Because maybe they fucked up installing stuff

#

Who made the drive?

#

Because a lot of companies put ā€œdriversā€ on them

#

And info files and stuff like that

#

And uh, those aren’t actual file types... they’re more just corrupted bytes which the computer is trying to make sense of

gritty token
#

thats a lot of stuff for a new usb

sly mortar
#

That’s why I’m thinking it was a fucked up install of that stuff, and it just got converted to random bytes

gritty token
#

I would just go buy a new one and return that one. That could be a multitude of things

blissful sequoia
#

its possible it was used and they scrambled/ciphered it but didnt get the FAT

#

or part of it...

blissful sequoia
#

@celest aurora did VPN get you reconnected, btw?

#

@lament ember did reinstall ever fix your problem?

celest aurora
#

@minor junco VPN sorted me out straight away

#

er, wrong derp?

minor junco
#

@blissful sequoia

celest aurora
#

@blissful sequoia VPN sorted me out straight away

#

Sorry for the ping, haha

minor junco
#

zzz it's fine

blissful sequoia
#

kind of glad, but it means your ISP routing is borked

#

at least you have a solution tho

quasi nebula
#

Hey guys, im having an annoying problem with foxhole. It was disconnecting all the time for like an week, and now it is crashing all the time. I cant even play.

#

Does anyone knows if these are known bugs?

nimble mauve
#

Any errors that pop up when it crashes?

quasi nebula
#

Yea, it does. Once it said it was script error, and other was texture.

#

But it goes kinda like this, and the notebook gets so slow that we cant take prints and most of the time it crashes the explorer, so we have to reset

jagged summit
#

I am having an issue where game audio comes through my headphones, and voice chat audio comes through my monitor. What should I do?

nimble mauve
#

Hold on agrel let me help william

#

@willgo to audio settings and disable all playback devices except for your desired audio output

#

@jagged summit

quasi nebula
#

I have time

nimble mauve
#

@quasi nebula take a screen shot of the error

#

Sry for slow response I only have one hand atm

jagged summit
#

@nimble mauve Okay, now I cannot hear the voice chat at all

quasi nebula
#

Relax, i have time.

#

Well, i will see if i can take an screenshot

nimble mauve
#

You set the audio output for the game

#

@jagged summit

quasi nebula
#

Also, do u know how discord works? My microphone only works in the web discord.

nimble mauve
#

Go to settings on discord

jagged summit
#

I just had to restart the game after that

#

Thanks @nimble mauve

nimble mauve
#

And then voice and audio then set the input device to your current device

#

@jagged summit no problem

#

@quasi nebula I'm free now

quasi nebula
#

Hey, do u know how the audio in discord app works?

#

Ive done everything, it doesnt reconize my microphone

nimble mauve
#

Test it once you set it

#

So it can sync

quasi nebula
#

?

nimble mauve
#

There's a button in the audio and voice that says test

#

That allows you to hear your microphone

quasi nebula
#

Yea, that doesnt work in discord.

#

On the windows it works.

#

And in the discord via internet, but thats it. On the app it doesnt reconize at all

nimble mauve
#

Hmm

#

You have more than 1 mic active?

sly mortar
#

Try reinstalling discord

nimble mauve
#

You sure? It just might be a reader problem

sly mortar
#

Try it

#

Can’t hurt

nimble mauve
#

Yea true

#

Takes time thoa

quasi nebula
#

Nope

#

And ive tried that already. Even tried to download again

#

from the website and still... It doesnt recognize

nimble mauve
#

What is you Mico inputs available

quasi nebula
#

brb

#

sorry

nimble mauve
#

K

#

And no worries

quasi nebula
#

Ok, im back

#

My mycro input... Do u mean the plug? Like USB?

#

Im an tech dino

nimble mauve
#

Yes like an input for any microphone

quasi nebula
#

Its an single input that i had to buy an extension to put both audio and mic

#

Otherwise i can only use one

nimble mauve
#

Also I'm a hand this one off to @sly mortar

#

I'm going to eat

quasi nebula
#

Allright

runic peak
#

I have a question of slightly vital importance, does anyone know where foxhole stores the high quality screenshots you take when you press "v"?

#

Thank you!!!

flint warren
#

smn help me plz. Before prevous updates foxhole had loaded quickly on my pc, but now i need to wait about 2-3 mins with black screen and after choosing side foxhole throws me in the main menu with the message about lost connection. The most interesting thing is that foxhole sometimes connect me to the WC and i can play, but i need to close and open the game 3-5 times
I`ve already done all the steps in guide in this channel but nothing changes. And i have already reinstall foxhole
what should i do?

blissful sequoia
#

reinstall game should fix

#

you probably didnt ... totally reinstall

#

In steam, uninstall, then delete C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Foxhole and %appdata%\..\local\Foxhole folders, then reinstall

#

i had the same bug and that solved it for me. i also heard audio while in the black screen...

quasi nebula
#

Im having almost the same problem as that guy

#

But it disconected all the time

#

Then i reinstaled the game and now it wont even connect to the war.

#

I took an print.

#

Yea, something went wrong with the print. But it said it failed to download Shard, error 1 and that an refresh would solve and it didint.

#

Im almost an week without being able to play.

blissful sequoia
#

oh hmm shard ...

#

well the black screen thing i suspect is your install

#

but some people are having general network issues...

quasi nebula
#

Well, ive tried adding an firewall exception

#

but i keep having connection to the server timed out

#

I even managed to log in to Endless Shores, but the second i got in, i lost connection.

blissful sequoia
#

do you use a VPN?

quasi nebula
#

No. I dont even know what that is.

blissful sequoia
#

I think you will, but its an easy test

quasi nebula
#

What i should see?

#

What should i see*?

#

I just see codes.

sly mortar
#

Could you paste it here?

quasi nebula

{
"title": "test",
"test1": false

Alright. You're good for that one.

Raw Data

"title": "test",
"test1": false
}

#

oh ok

blissful sequoia
#

yep ok that means your dns server is working

#

so youre getting the right server list ... but then you cant connect to them

#

honestly, i still think its a re-install issue

#

but youve got to clean out the directories

#

and if its not that it might be a routing issue ...

quasi nebula
#

Ok, what directories should i clean?

blissful sequoia
#

how do you pin something you said earlier in discord?

brave lotus
#

You Cant

sly mortar
#

You mean the link?

blissful sequoia
#

yea

brave lotus
#

Have To Ask

sly mortar
#

Go to the 3 little dots on the right side of the message, and click "Copy Link"

#

C:\Users\...\AppData\Local\Foxhole

blissful sequoia
#

ah just edit and delete

#

im using web discord

sly mortar
#

Oh

#

Try turning on Developer Mode

blissful sequoia
#

In steam, uninstall, then delete C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Foxhole and %appdata%\..\local\Foxhole folders, then reinstall

quasi nebula
#

ok

sly mortar
#

How to Correctly Reinstall Foxhole

  1. Uninstall through Steam.
  2. Delete the Foxhole file in your steamapps\common directory.
  3. Delete the Foxhole folder in C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Local
  4. Restart your computer
  5. Reinstall Foxhole.
blissful sequoia
#

i dont see a developer mode...

#

boy i sure hate windows programs always hiding stuff in weird unexpected hidden directories

#

android is the superior OS...

sly mortar
#

...

blissful sequoia
#

well it is...

sly mortar
#

burn

blissful sequoia
#

the gui is great, all the benefit of linux, and ya know, programs are very self contained

#

easy to sandbox and secure but also easy to install and remove

sly mortar
#

And most games don't run on it

#

Without a bunch of bad programs

blissful sequoia
#

oh right yea its not a good gaming OS

quasi nebula
#

Step 3 doesnt exist here

blissful sequoia
#

its just absurd that someone has to track down these files to properly uninstall

sly mortar
#

It's the Foxhole folder in Local

blissful sequoia
#

go to %appdata%\..\local and you will find it

sly mortar
#

Not the one inside the foxhole folder, I copied the wrong link

quasi nebula
#

I will see if i can find the app data

blissful sequoia
#

copy and paste "%appdata%\..\local"

sly mortar
#

^

quasi nebula
#

Wtf?

#

It went, but it didint appeared the first time

blissful sequoia
#

nuke the foxhole dir

quasi nebula
#

All right

#

reinstalling now

@quasi nebula did reinstall fix your problem?

grim lance
#

anybody else having an issue with the new community news channel? It constantly shows me the red ping even after I read it...

dim salmon
#

@grim lance
R click -> Mark as read

#

should fix

quasi nebula
#

@blissful sequoia No. I had internet issues, had to change the modem, and still im having both microphone problems with Discord AND the game disconencts all the time.

#

disconects*

#

The tech just left here, its all in order, so its not the modem.

blissful sequoia
#

is it worth paying for a month of a VPN to see if that fixes it?

#

would kind of narrow it down being your ISP

quasi nebula
#

No way

blissful sequoia
#

constant game disconnects sure makes me wonder if you have this problem on your network otherwise

quasi nebula
#

Only if there is no other choic

#

choice*

blissful sequoia
#

lol

quasi nebula
#

Hey, an Wife and Kid are expensive lol

#

Especially the wife lol

#

Is there any other way to discover that without paying a sub on a VPN?

blissful sequoia
#

drag your computer to another network and test it there...

#

you could try pinging other sites and see if part of the packets are being lost/dropped

quasi nebula
#

ok, how do i do the second option?

#

@blissful sequoia Ok, i think i found an free VPN

#

Would that help?

blissful sequoia
#

yeah

#

might as well try it, it might be slow, but at least you can test the disconnects

#

its odd tho if the tech tested the modem ... would have guessed theyd check signal quality

quasi nebula
#

Well, he checked everything, its all there and working. The other modem was faulty

#

This one seems to be fine

#

But then the error persists

blissful sequoia
#

whaaat the other modem was faulty?

#

but stuff still doesnt work ... sure seems ... suspicious

#

like maybe it was another problem other than the modem

#

i have heard cable modem installers (the vets) always replace the co-ax connector in the wall because they go faulty often

#

it MIGHT be worth trying the modem on another coax socket in your home, possibly.

quasi nebula
#

I mean, everything works fine, except voice connection to Discord and Foxhole.

#

And Discord can get my mic signal trough the firefox, but not on the desktop add

#

The other modem was all round broken. Even internet wasnt connecting.

#

Hence the 2 days i was without internet.

#

"i have heard cable modem installers (the vets) always replace the co-ax connector in the wall because they go faulty often"

#

Everything that had to be replaced was replaced today, including the phone cable and etc

#

And i wont be able to do much right now because im not fine. Im passing out for lack of food. Im waiting for my wife to get back with something for me to eat. But until there i cant think straight

blissful sequoia
#

mic issues are usually pretty easy to deal with

#

but if its just a disconnecting discord issue thats harder

quasi nebula
#

Well, the discord works fine, its just the mic. I can hear everyone, but it doesnt recognize my mic

#

It even says so

sly mortar
#

Are other things working fine?

#

Like, other programs?

blissful sequoia
#

can you screen shot your sound control panel recording tab for us sometime

sly mortar
#

Because you might be able to force your mic through an intermediary program which discord recognizes.

quasi nebula
#

Yes, all the other programs are working fine. Except Discord and Foxhole

sly mortar
#

K

quasi nebula
#

And again, discord works fine on the internet. It can recognize my mic

#

But not the bloody app

sly mortar
#

Hmm

#

Might be able to push mic into Voicemeeter, then voicemeeter to Discord

#

that might work

quasi nebula
#

Voicemeeter

#

Is it heavy?

#

Like, does it take too much ram of processing power?

sly mortar
#

Nope

#

Let me check how much mine uses

#

(and mine is the more complicated version)

#

0.7% CPU, 27mb RAM

quasi nebula
#

All right, sweet. As soon as my food arrives i will start with the VPN and voicemeeter

#

then gonna try again

sly mortar
#

I don't suggest using their most complicated one, Voicemeeter Potato, because it just released and has a fuckton of options

quasi nebula
#

Thanks

grim lance
#

@dim salmon nope didnt work

dim salmon
#

@grim lance ctrl+r to reboot discord maybe?

grim lance
#

I am currently on my phone. I havent checked yet if Discord on PC has the same problem

merry root
#

Having issues with reconnecting to voice chat. keep losing connection. Any suggestions?

quasi nebula
#

Ok, im back. How do i set a VPN?

blissful sequoia
#

but not the app?!

#

did you install discord through windows store?

#

you must enable microphone for it, if so

#

they call it "app permissions", there is a mic setting

#

does not apply to foxhole...

quasi nebula
#

What?

#

Well, voice meeter is either not working or im not using it right

sly mortar
#

Send me a picture of it

quasi nebula
#

Man, i miss fucking radio.

blissful sequoia
#

its called podcasts now

quasi nebula
sly mortar
#

alright

blissful sequoia
#

realtek... oh boy

#

this again.

quasi nebula
#

😐

sly mortar
#

Did you set the VB stuff as default?

blissful sequoia
#

confirmed windows 10 tho

#

i bet his discord doesnt work with any mics cause it has no permissions

quasi nebula
#

And i have no idea what to do with permissions... Also, doesnt make sense to me

sly mortar
#

TLDR Windows is really dumb and didn't give correct perms

blissful sequoia
#

i put a link

#

theyre just being safe, so hackers dont record your audio without you knowing

#

start -> settings -> privacy -> microphone

#

might want to double check that

quasi nebula
#

Yea

#

It didnt had any permission

#

To apps using my mic

#

And if microsoft really wants to be safe and etc, they would allow me to get rid of Cortana.

blissful sequoia
#

was discord in the list?

quasi nebula
#

didint appeared

blissful sequoia
#

oh ok you must have downloaded it from their site, not the windows store

quasi nebula
#

Yea

sly mortar
#

Oh no, microsoft wouldn't let you remove cortana. That would mean that they couldn't steal all your data.

#

Try running discord in Administrator

quasi nebula
#

Im already doing that.

#

And yea, Microsoft must know even the color of my wife's panties by this point.

blissful sequoia
#

your screen shot didnt include an anime desktop background

#

starting to doubt you have this "wife"...

quasi nebula
blissful sequoia
#

youd set up a new vpn connection using pptp

sly mortar
#

Painfully

blissful sequoia
#

and plug in those settings

quasi nebula
#

anime desktop background? lol

#

IM not 12

sly mortar
#

mhm hmm

blissful sequoia
#

i doubt discord is a network issue

quasi nebula
#

I dont even see the settings on their server

blissful sequoia
#

thats your silly mic, and a screen shot of your sound control panel from windows might help

quasi nebula
#

Ok, do i donwload discord again?

blissful sequoia
#

nah

#

its so comical to me, free vpn, secure, safe, no tracking, super free, encrypted, no spying, free, free, free

quasi nebula
#

Well, my windows is in portuguese

blissful sequoia
#

so theyre super secure, they dont spy/track you, and theyre free? this is making insanely good sense

#

very skeptical!

quasi nebula
#

Im already being spyed anyway. Im just trying to make foxhole works

blissful sequoia
#

i guarantee its tracked

quasi nebula
#

Or at least figuring out what is wrong.

#

Then if i really needs an VPN i pay for one

#

Man, what an nightmare

#

Its in portuguese, but the info should be in the same place

#

im going to try voice meeter again

blissful sequoia
#

oh uhh

#

can you just do start -> "control panel" -> sound

#

the old windows 7 sound control panel is more useful

#

the one that has a bunch of tabs in it

#

it will list every device, so we can see if its defaulted to the wrong one

quasi nebula
#

wait, the discord seems to be able to register my mic

#

going to test it

#

but im getting too much fucking noise

#

ok, its gone

#

but i still hear in the background an faint noise of washing machine

blissful sequoia
#

lol

#

its set to the wrong mic probably

#

laptop?

quasi nebula
#

hmm

#

It doesnt work somehow

#

i dont get it

blissful sequoia
#

sound control panel ...

quasi nebula
#

all right

#

it crashed

#

My control panel is crashing all the time. I cant use it.

sly mortar
#

What

#

WINDOWS

quasi nebula
#

It then resets everything, night lights, and etc

sly mortar
#

šŸ‘€

blissful sequoia
#

whaaa

quasi nebula
#

Even the tool bar goes dark then pops up back again and the control panel is gone

sly mortar
#

This is a bigger issue then

blissful sequoia
#

thats a problem...

quasi nebula
#

So... Cant use it

sly mortar
#

Uh

blissful sequoia
#

maybe the sfc thing would fix that up

sly mortar
#

Do you have a windows OEM discord by any chance?

blissful sequoia
#

is that in the pinned messages?

sly mortar
#

sfc?

#

No

quasi nebula
#

I dont know

#

I just went there in their site and downloaded it

#

" Download discord" done

blissful sequoia
#

just to fix his windows...

sly mortar
#

Oh god

#

SFC

blissful sequoia
#

its basically running command prompt as admin and running "sfc /scannow"

#

it checks windows system libraries and replaces them if theyve been modified

quasi nebula
#

ok

blissful sequoia
#

another dude in your clan, raposa, was also having network routing trouble

#

he bought a month of PIA as a VPN to test and it worked for him

#

but that was to make his vivox stable, and maybe server connection issues

#

wait was it raposa? ... was that another problem?

quasi nebula
#

ok, running

blissful sequoia
#

i remember it because i was thinking brazilian ISPs are funky and arent routing right

quasi nebula
#

Yea, it was Raposa. (It means fox)

blissful sequoia
#

and it was true for him at least

quasi nebula
#

Yea, companies here are an mess.

sly mortar
#

It worked for him

quasi nebula
#

Well, im going to try the spy vpn

#

and see if that works

#

as soon as i figure out how to make that work

blissful sequoia
#

figure out mic first

#

that issue shouldnt cost you any money to fix

#

so if you cant even access your sound control panel - how do you even set the default sound device?

#

or the default mic

quasi nebula
#

Toolbar

#

I can acess from there.

sly mortar
#

I'd say doing the sfc\scannow is your best bet

quasi nebula
#

12% now

blissful sequoia
#

@quasi nebula please try this, run command line, type "control mmsys.cpl sounds"

#

maybe that will pull up your panel directly

quasi nebula
#

Now or do i wait for the SFC?

blissful sequoia
#

you can do it now

sly mortar
#

If that doesn't work we have you go farther into the rabbit hole

quasi nebula
#

i open another prompt?

blissful sequoia
#

yea

#

another prompt

sly mortar
#

Yeah

#

That one doesn't need the administrator prompt

quasi nebula
#

But i can acess that from the toolbar

blissful sequoia
#

can we also see the second tab on that? alt + print screen will take a screen shot of just 1 window

#

i want to see the recording tab

quasi nebula
#

brb

#

baby woke

#

ok, im back

#

what second tab?

#

oh

#

ok

#

ok, ive done some things here on voice meeter

#

going to see if it works

#

restarting discord

blissful sequoia
#

so its only 1 device (without soundmeter), interesting ...

#

it really should have picked it up easily

quasi nebula
#

Derp, could u please join an voice channel

blissful sequoia
#

perhaps the volume is just very low?

quasi nebula
#

just to see if u can hear me?

blissful sequoia
#

sorry i cant at the moment

quasi nebula
#

hmm

#

going to see if i can find an channel, brb

#

all right, the voice meeter solved the problem

#

now i just have to tune it

#

my problem right now with the tuner is that he is sending me the microfone audio right back at me

#

With eco and everything

blissful sequoia
#

well Icanari is the soundmeeter expert

quasi nebula
#

im figuring out as i go

#

got rid of the eco and etc

#

So, mic problem is solved

blissful sequoia
#

nice

#

hopefully that fixes it in foxhole too

quasi nebula
#

Yea. But now the problem is the disconnecting

#

I cant play because it loses connection to the server

#

Sfc still running tough

#

80%

blissful sequoia
#

it sure seems like a lot of brazilians having trouble connecting to foxhole servers or keeping stable connections

#

sfc is to fix the general windows problems, dunno if it will affect the network...

quasi nebula
#

Everyone else is making it. Im the only one in the clan having this problem.

#

And im getting all 15mb, so it should be able to connect

blissful sequoia
#

have you already tried the DNS change that is posted in the pinned messages?

quasi nebula
#

DNS chance?

#

What pinned message?

#

change*

blissful sequoia
#

yea changing DNS server to google or other, 8.8.8.8 instead of default ISP dns server

#

check the pinned messages, theres instructions on changing DNS server

quasi nebula
#

hmm, i tried to put into google earlier today

#

when the tech guy was here

#

and the default too

#

Didint helped me

#

ok, i have the modem opened here

#

8.8.8.8 right?

blissful sequoia
#

nah you can do it on just your PC

#

you dont have to change the router

quasi nebula
#

well, i have the router link on my cellphone

blissful sequoia
#

oh

quasi nebula
#

so i can change right now

blissful sequoia
#

well if you change it in the router, save the old one

#

write it down so you can change it back if you want to

quasi nebula
#

too late, its all 0000 nw

blissful sequoia
#

google's DNS servers are 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4

quasi nebula
#

it all went to shit when i put to default

#

ok, gonna do it

#

hmm

#

something went wrong with the password

#

ok, going have to do on the pc then

#

how do i do it?

blissful sequoia
#

do you see the pinned messages for this channel? its the first one

#

I don't know how to link stuff in the web version of discord

quasi nebula
#

uh

#

How do i do that without going trough the control panel?

#

lol

blissful sequoia
quasi nebula
#

And SFC didnt found any violation of integrity

blissful sequoia
#

oh its hard without control panel

quasi nebula
#

So yea. There is that

sly mortar
#

You can't really without the control panel

quasi nebula
#

ok, i managed to get into...

#

configurations

blissful sequoia
#

command line "control ncpa.cpl"

quasi nebula
#

So there is wifi, vpn

#

and etc, can i do it from here?

#

nothing happened.

#

wait

#

Yea, it went

#

did a little crash then it opened

#

I can see wifi

#

ok, done it. Changed the DNS

#

Now what?

blissful sequoia
#

try to connect

#

if foxhole still down, then its not a DNS problem

#

in which case, vpn is the next test i would do

#

if vpn also has trouble disconnecting then it might be network probs

quasi nebula
#

Yea, i used an vpn and still disconnected

#

Leo said to disable both anti-virus and firewall

#

but i dont know how to disable the firewall without the control panel

blissful sequoia
#

is it wireless?

quasi nebula
#

Yes

blissful sequoia
#

its possible your wireless signal is giving you trouble!

#

is it possible for you to try it wired in? do you have a cable long enough?

quasi nebula
#

No

#

My notebook and modem are in diferent rooms

blissful sequoia
#

hmm

#

can you do it as a test later or is it not possible?

quasi nebula
#

Yea, i can try tomorrow, taking the notebook to the other room

#

I cant now because the baby is sleeping there

#

and i gtg

#

cya and thanks

blissful sequoia
#

yea try that tomorrow, it might be worth changing the wifi channel, there might be something else conflicting with the frequency range youre using

#

if it works stable on wired, might help track down your prob

gritty token
#

Some routers can actually auto detect channels usually well, if that is the problem then i would look up channels for the wireless band you on are on (2.4 or 5g). If possible, set your laptop to a channel seperate from the other devices. Also check and see what people say online about which channels are used less.

quasi nebula
#

@blissful sequoia Ok, i did it, nothing changed. I managed to get in Caecus Island in the first try on the both ocasions i've tested and one time i didint even managed to get to the war an in the other as soon as i entered, i got disconnected.

blissful sequoia
#

do you have less trouble going to the other regions?

#

the continental ones?

#

when you tested the wired network, you turned off the wireless on your laptop? if both are active it might still use wireless

quasi nebula
#

I didint had to, it switched to wired.

#

And i have trouble getting anywhere.

blissful sequoia
#

how do you know?

quasi nebula
#

Tool Bar

#

The symbol changed, ive clicked there, the connection mode too

blissful sequoia
#

hmm...

#

im not sure i totally trust it

#

if you have 2 connections i suspect it keeps using the first one for traffic

sly mortar
#

Win10 supposedly always uses Wired over Wireless

blissful sequoia
#

hmm

#

ok

#

well thats a good call then

quasi nebula
#

Now what do we do?

blissful sequoia
#

so he can see the dns, sometimes he connects, but always disconnects ... hmm

#

always disconnects at start? or random?

quasi nebula
#

Yea, says the connection to the server times out

#

2 weeks ago it disconnected almost always for 3-4 times

#

Then in the 5th try i would be able to play for hours

#

Now i cant even get in.

blissful sequoia
#

trying to determine if you are ever able to load a map

#

it sounds like you are...

#

i have had more trouble with loading islands than other regions

quasi nebula
#

When i do log in, the camera is on the character, like it was really close, on the belt, i can see the canteen in the screen, then disconnects.

blissful sequoia
#

and you tried a vpn already? and it still disconnected?

quasi nebula
#

Except on the Carcus Island. There it loads and i can move around and etc

#

Yea, tried vpn and still had the same trouble

#

Connection to the server timed out

#

Even tough i just managed to log in

#

It would still kick me out of the server

#

Caecus*

#

Idk, maybe one of the devs knows what is going on?

blissful sequoia
#

Icanari, any ideas of any other way he could test his connection for a little while?

#

just to rule out dropped packets or whatever

quasi nebula
#

I mean, its their codes and servers. Maybe something is getting incompatible here

blissful sequoia
#

you already did the full uninstall and delete and reinstall several days ago, right?

quasi nebula
#

Yea

blissful sequoia
#

theres 2 small things in the pinned list

#

setting your laptop to performance power mode (battery saving mode can lower power to some devices sometimes)

#

and also something in steam, steam -> settings -> in game -> in game server browser -> max pings per second = 500

sly mortar
quasi nebula
#

hmm

blissful sequoia
#

the problem is specific to your network or your laptop, so we are trying to figure out which

#

the laptop is suspicious because of all the things that dont work

#

if it were mine, i would have erased/reset it clean because i need the control panel

#

and that would make me SO mad

quasi nebula
#

Well

#

That to me is the last resort.

#

Because not only i would have to download everything back, but do an backup and put everything back and etc

#

And that fucking sucks. I would rather take an injection in the eye than have to go trough all that trouble.

blissful sequoia
#

raposa would have done it lol

quasi nebula
#

(And i did took an injection in the eye once, actually in both eyes, so i know what im saying)

blissful sequoia
#

just to get voice working

quasi nebula
#

Yea, im not him lol

blissful sequoia
#

it must have been upgraded from windows 7? is that why nothing works right?

#

that upgrade was ... not smooth

quasi nebula
#

"setting your laptop to performance power mode (battery saving mode can lower power to some devices sometimes) ""
Did not found anything talking about this

blissful sequoia
#

well you could try the power mode and setting the steam max pings

quasi nebula
#

but im going to steam now

blissful sequoia
#

the power mode is ... uhh lol power control panel

quasi nebula
#

Not really, i bought it with windows 10

sly mortar
#

At this point I would say run Startup Repair

#

Which is... fun...

blissful sequoia
#

command prompt -> "control powercfg.cpl" might load up the poer config

#

startup repair doesnt seem to do ... much

quasi nebula
#

Maximum pings per seconds is automatic (5000) do i still lower it to 500?

blissful sequoia
#

yea

sly mortar
#

Yeah

quasi nebula
#

ok

blissful sequoia
#

lol 5000 pings per second wow

sly mortar
#

@blissful sequoia Yeah, true, but still. It works sometimes

quasi nebula
#

ok, done it

sly mortar
#

Yeah, that's steam's default

blissful sequoia
#

@sly mortar yea its definitely saved my ass before

sly mortar
#

Like, 1 time out of 10 it will work
