oh thats so useful
But If it isn't resolving the IP Address, that points to DNS not picking it up
thats all i was asking him for yesterday lol
@celest aurora Could your reset your DNS settings so that it uses your ISP's?
aws is regional
he will likely get a different IP
but the page should look the same
have you run an ipconfig /flushdns on the command line?
Have now. Nothing
or if you are using chrome, i suggest trying another browser because chrome is downright obnoxious about caching DNS entries
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
please god no
mhm hmm
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
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
Yeah?
hopefully their server list that comes back is IPs and not DNSs
uhh hit start button, type notepad, the shortcut that comes up right click
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
Now?
I get invalid url now
https://s3.amazonaws.com/clapfoot-test-bucket/test.json says invalid url?
it doesnt have the full address
Fucking SSL
akamai??
Yes....?
look at that
man in the middle attack
someone is pushing their own SSL certs
as if they are amazon
sigh
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
just to make sure
If it doesn't work and has the same issue... time to clean certs
sigh
I get the exact same thing
oh boy...
Oh... great...
some program or router is intercepting your traffic
This is going to be... interesting
so all certificates look bad because theyre coming from another source
Is this specific to me?
he shouldnt be able to access any https site, right?
i think its specific to you, maybe...
Try accessing this
or maybe everyone got their routers hacked at the same time
because I randomly had that open, and it's HTTPs
Hangs
aha!!!
can't i just https google?
yea
Google is fine
maybe theyll pass google through legit heheh
dns name is encrypted too tho so hmm...
he went to https://www.google.com/ i think
Search the world's information, including webpages, images, videos and more. Google has many special features to help you find exactly what you're looking for.
and it was fine
but your other https certificates are being intercepted
Because I've fucked my own cert up and had that happen
so now to figure out why...
My guess is man in the middle
definitely, but from where
@celest aurora Are you port forwarding anything on your router?
do you use a proxy software, @celest aurora
- But let me check get it up
Stop portforwarding it. You shouldn't have to
Will a man in a middle care about local ip differences, or I guess all traffic coming from my global adress?
Well fuck.
it could be on his local PC only
Not sure I want to post a pic of my table here.
Nah do not
We have rules open
Don't
im not sure its an open rules problem...
No, wait
I have a discord which can do screensharing if we need it
a server which can
not a call
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?
^
Why not run a tracert?
what would it tell us?
The main problem with this is that there are so many fucking man in the middle attacks
Should that tell you if you hit someone else?
It might?
I can grab one.
I know man in the middle attacks can get around them though
we know he gets internet traffic/routing
@celest aurora Please do so
we can only assume its the correct gateway
his ISP and not some proxy software...
That will determine whether it is PC based, or router based effectively
oh i guess the tracert would determine that
Yes yes, but wouldn't a man in the middle mean that someone else public IP pulls up?
You can arin.net that shit
Maybe?
no
I remember hearing about man in the middles which didn't
wait i think what i wrote made no sense
he has the right IP
Wrong cert
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
Yeah so if you send a traffic request out via tracert, it should give you each hop on the way
Doubt it
please try 52.216.9.253
I have a macbook.
Try that
i gave him the ip address for aws.amazon.com not s3.amazonaws.com
definitely wrong.
lol someones going to hate you
thats ok... they wont notice
jk of course
you wouldnt believe how many chinese IP addresses try to hack me every day
You aren't flooding their domain
i would say chinese but i doubt even half of them are chinese people
Dude wireshark is scary to pull up sometimes lol
You see all the random people pinging you
random pinging and port scanning is unnerving, but attempts to log in to your router or ssh servers is ugly
when i used to live on dial up people on broadband could ping flood me out of existance š¦
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
I mean.. then why isn't it working to other places
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
I can't ping that IP
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
I have
timed out
you already reset your router?
and you can ping other ips and get pong sometimes, right?
ye
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
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
1am ... brazil?
uk
hmm
{
"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
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
after 8 hours
^^^
more like 8 tries
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
Im only a hobbyist with pc's. But explaining even basic tech issues to normals is brain numbing
Lol i know that feeling XD
car analogies work wonders
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Holy shit yes
ok so the router is like your clutch. oh you drive an automatic? oh you dont drive. hm...
hahah
It works soooo well
and then you have the people who only use bikes because they're "green focused"
green focused = 2nd DUI
Wait
I don't know cars well enough to use them in analogies
but you can get a DUI on a bike ;D
Can you get a drunk driving ticket when biking?
you can get a DUI on a freakin horse!!
You can get a DUI on a damn scooter
Eh, true
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
I would also try seeing if you have the same issue outside of your house
if its a routing problem by the ISP it usually will be self corrected in time...
what like, stand outside with my laptap yeah? 
find an open wifi somewhere
got a neighbor with one?
mobile hotspot would probably work too
Im joking ofc
but who REALLY has friends D:
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"
Anyways, thanks for the help guys, I appreciate the effort. Guess Im just going to have to wait for this to blow over.
is there a solution to this
@lament ember Have you restarted steam?
@celest aurora , best of luck, reach back out for more help if needed
^
Cheers
Cheers!
are you in the UK too, @lament ember maybe you guys have the same ISP
nah im USA
when it loads does it go to black or just show the loading screen?
oh hey
@lament ember go here https://s3.amazonaws.com/clapfoot-test-bucket/test.json does that page come up for you?
it laods for a bit then it goes back to the main menu
@lament ember were you able to load that link? do you see the test page?
yeah
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
yea thats right
oh alright
if you do the reinstall, youve got to delete those hanging files...
i restarted steam and it still timed out so im gonna try that
hopefully someone can help out, im about to take a break
particularly the %appdata%\..\local\foxhole directory should be nuked
thanks for the help
and the one in program files x86 -> steam -> commonapps -> foxhole
that one too
then reinstall it
you will have to reset settings, of course š¦
how do i get to appdata?
Type %appdata% into your windows search bar
idk why how i got tech wizard role lol
You clicked on the computer emoji in #information
is that for windows 10?
What windows do you have?
windows 10
Then yeah, it will work
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
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
That's correct
That's about all I can tell you without knowing the reason your cert is fucked up
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
Oh
and you can play your alt now too 
@coarse shoal try restarting steam, restarting PC, if that doesnāt work ping tech wizards, I have to do stuff
K
new usb, anyone knows what this is about
@worn forge looks corrupt AF
format that sucker
do a full format too, not quick, make sure its not full of bad sectors
is it possible that i has been used before?
possibly, but that is not what youre seeing
unless you can identify some common language in there, i cant
not really i can't either
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
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
@worn forge formar it, you should be fine afterword
Thatās just a bunch of random characters
but why would it happen if it's supposed to be brand new?
Because maybe they fucked up installing stuff
Who made the drive?
Because a lot of companies put ādriversā on them
And info files and stuff like that
And uh, those arenāt actual file types... theyāre more just corrupted bytes which the computer is trying to make sense of
thats a lot of stuff for a new usb
Thatās why Iām thinking it was a fucked up install of that stuff, and it just got converted to random bytes
I would just go buy a new one and return that one. That could be a multitude of things
its possible it was used and they scrambled/ciphered it but didnt get the FAT
or part of it...
@celest aurora did VPN get you reconnected, btw?
@lament ember did reinstall ever fix your problem?
@blissful sequoia
zzz it's fine
kind of glad, but it means your ISP routing is borked
at least you have a solution tho
I am getting the "Lost connection to server" error, everytime I try to join a faction. Any fixes?

Ok thank you and sorry didn't knew that

@vivid pulsar 
Ok i followed the procedure but when it ask me for my steam ID i don't receive answer
is it ok?
Nevermind it's ok
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?
Any errors that pop up when it crashes?
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
I am having an issue where game audio comes through my headphones, and voice chat audio comes through my monitor. What should I do?
Hold on agrel let me help william
@willgo to audio settings and disable all playback devices except for your desired audio output
@jagged summit
I have time
@quasi nebula take a screen shot of the error
Sry for slow response I only have one hand atm
@nimble mauve Okay, now I cannot hear the voice chat at all
Also, do u know how discord works? My microphone only works in the web discord.
Go to settings on discord
And then voice and audio then set the input device to your current device
@jagged summit no problem
@quasi nebula I'm free now
Hey, do u know how the audio in discord app works?
Ive done everything, it doesnt reconize my microphone
?
There's a button in the audio and voice that says test
That allows you to hear your microphone
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
Try reinstalling discord
You sure? It just might be a reader problem
Nope
And ive tried that already. Even tried to download again
from the website and still... It doesnt recognize
What is you Mico inputs available
Yes like an input for any microphone
Its an single input that i had to buy an extension to put both audio and mic
Otherwise i can only use one
Allright
I have a question of slightly vital importance, does anyone know where foxhole stores the high quality screenshots you take when you press "v"?
C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Local\Foxhole\Saved\Screenshots\WindowsNoEditor @runic peak
Thank you!!!
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?
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...
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.
oh hmm shard ...
well the black screen thing i suspect is your install
but some people are having general network issues...
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.
do you use a VPN?
No. I dont even know what that is.
do you see this test page come up? https://s3.amazonaws.com/clapfoot-test-bucket/test.json
I think you will, but its an easy test
Could you paste it here?
JSON
{
"title": "test",
"test1": false
}
Alright. You're good for that one.
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 ...
Ok, what directories should i clean?
how do you pin something you said earlier in discord?
You Cant
You mean the link?
yea
Have To Ask
Go to the 3 little dots on the right side of the message, and click "Copy Link"
C:\Users\...\AppData\Local\Foxhole
In steam, uninstall, then delete C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Foxhole and %appdata%\..\local\Foxhole folders, then reinstall
ok
How to Correctly Reinstall Foxhole
- Uninstall through Steam.
- Delete the Foxhole file in your
steamapps\commondirectory. - Delete the Foxhole folder in
C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Local - Restart your computer
- Reinstall Foxhole.
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...
...
well it is...
burn
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
oh right yea its not a good gaming OS
Step 3 doesnt exist here
its just absurd that someone has to track down these files to properly uninstall
It's the Foxhole folder in Local
go to %appdata%\..\local and you will find it
Not the one inside the foxhole folder, I copied the wrong link
I will see if i can find the app data
copy and paste "%appdata%\..\local"
^
nuke the foxhole dir
@hot oak can you help us we are glitch between 2 rock in our gunboat
It's in modmail. Please wait for a moderator to respond.
peepee
I dont under Cortana, I have a speech impediment
its the circle thing?
ye
dont have it on
click "search"
from there type sound
done
you wanna click "Sound; control panel"
done
you get a window that looks somewhat like this?
yees
go to the recording tab
you should see some listings, they do not have to be this one
screech or tap the mic or something
one of the green bars on the right should light up
click on the one that you hear
there
uncheck the "Listen to this device" box then click apply
i think the update check that box
lol, thank
i have one more problem but you cant help me with it
I use that option when I play music over mic so I know what im playing
but DJs dont hear their self?
@terse flume they do
@quasi nebula did reinstall fix your problem?
anybody else having an issue with the new community news channel? It constantly shows me the red ping even after I read it...
@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.
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
No way
constant game disconnects sure makes me wonder if you have this problem on your network otherwise
lol
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?
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
ok, how do i do the second option?
@blissful sequoia Ok, i think i found an free VPN
Would that help?
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
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
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.
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
mic issues are usually pretty easy to deal with
but if its just a disconnecting discord issue thats harder
Well, the discord works fine, its just the mic. I can hear everyone, but it doesnt recognize my mic
It even says so
can you screen shot your sound control panel recording tab for us sometime
Because you might be able to force your mic through an intermediary program which discord recognizes.
Yes, all the other programs are working fine. Except Discord and Foxhole
K
And again, discord works fine on the internet. It can recognize my mic
But not the bloody app
Hmm
Might be able to push mic into Voicemeeter, then voicemeeter to Discord
that might work
Nope
Let me check how much mine uses
(and mine is the more complicated version)
0.7% CPU, 27mb RAM
All right, sweet. As soon as my food arrives i will start with the VPN and voicemeeter
then gonna try again
https://www.vb-audio.com/Voicemeeter/ Use this version. The others are considerably more complicated, but if you want to be able to do more than this you can use Voicemeeter Banana.
VoiceMeeter Virtual Audio Device Mixer by V.Burel
I don't suggest using their most complicated one, Voicemeeter Potato, because it just released and has a fuckton of options
Thanks
@dim salmon nope didnt work
@grim lance ctrl+r to reboot discord maybe?
I am currently on my phone. I havent checked yet if Discord on PC has the same problem
Having issues with reconnecting to voice chat. keep losing connection. Any suggestions?
Ok, im back. How do i set a VPN?
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
Find out how to change the privacy settings for the camera on Windows 10.
does not apply to foxhole...
Send me a picture of it
Man, i miss fucking radio.
its called podcasts now
alright
š
Did you set the VB stuff as default?
confirmed windows 10 tho
i bet his discord doesnt work with any mics cause it has no permissions
And i have no idea what to do with permissions... Also, doesnt make sense to me
TLDR Windows is really dumb and didn't give correct perms
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
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.
was discord in the list?
didint appeared
oh ok you must have downloaded it from their site, not the windows store
Yea
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
Im already doing that.
And yea, Microsoft must know even the color of my wife's panties by this point.
your screen shot didnt include an anime desktop background
starting to doubt you have this "wife"...
" https://freevpn.me/ " how do i use this?
Anonymous free vpn service to keep you safe online, unblock websites and download torrents. Free offshore vpn server(s) supporting OpenVPN and PPTP.
youd set up a new vpn connection using pptp
Painfully
and plug in those settings
mhm hmm
i doubt discord is a network issue
I dont even see the settings on their server
thats your silly mic, and a screen shot of your sound control panel from windows might help
Ok, do i donwload discord again?
nah
its so comical to me, free vpn, secure, safe, no tracking, super free, encrypted, no spying, free, free, free
Well, my windows is in portuguese
so theyre super secure, they dont spy/track you, and theyre free? this is making insanely good sense
very skeptical!
Im already being spyed anyway. Im just trying to make foxhole works
i guarantee its tracked
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
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
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
sound control panel ...
It then resets everything, night lights, and etc
š
whaaa
Even the tool bar goes dark then pops up back again and the control panel is gone
This is a bigger issue then
thats a problem...
So... Cant use it
Uh
maybe the sfc thing would fix that up
Do you have a windows OEM discord by any chance?
is that in the pinned messages?
I dont know
I just went there in their site and downloaded it
" Download discord" done
just to fix his windows...
https://www.windowscentral.com/how-use-sfc-command-utility-fix-system-files-windows-10 might repair your control panel, not sure
its basically running command prompt as admin and running "sfc /scannow"
it checks windows system libraries and replaces them if theyve been modified
ok
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?
ok, running
i remember it because i was thinking brazilian ISPs are funky and arent routing right
Yea, it was Raposa. (It means fox)
and it was true for him at least
Yea, companies here are an mess.
It worked for him
Well, im going to try the spy vpn
and see if that works
as soon as i figure out how to make that work
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
I'd say doing the sfc\scannow is your best bet
12% now
@quasi nebula please try this, run command line, type "control mmsys.cpl sounds"
maybe that will pull up your panel directly
Now or do i wait for the SFC?
you can do it now
If that doesn't work we have you go farther into the rabbit hole
i open another prompt?
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
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
so its only 1 device (without soundmeter), interesting ...
it really should have picked it up easily
Derp, could u please join an voice channel
perhaps the volume is just very low?
just to see if u can hear me?
sorry i cant at the moment
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
well Icanari is the soundmeeter expert
Yea. But now the problem is the disconnecting
I cant play because it loses connection to the server
Sfc still running tough
80%
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...
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
have you already tried the DNS change that is posted in the pinned messages?
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
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?
well, i have the router link on my cellphone
oh
so i can change right now
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
too late, its all 0000 nw
google's DNS servers are 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4
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?
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
And SFC didnt found any violation of integrity
oh its hard without control panel
So yea. There is that
You can't really without the control panel
command line "control ncpa.cpl"
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?
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
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
is it wireless?
Yes
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?
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
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
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.
@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.
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
how do you know?
hmm...
im not sure i totally trust it
if you have 2 connections i suspect it keeps using the first one for traffic
Win10 supposedly always uses Wired over Wireless
Now what do we do?
so he can see the dns, sometimes he connects, but always disconnects ... hmm
always disconnects at start? or random?
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.
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
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.
and you tried a vpn already? and it still disconnected?
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?
Icanari, any ideas of any other way he could test his connection for a little while?
just to rule out dropped packets or whatever
I mean, its their codes and servers. Maybe something is getting incompatible here
you already did the full uninstall and delete and reinstall several days ago, right?
Yea
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
hmm
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
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.
raposa would have done it lol
(And i did took an injection in the eye once, actually in both eyes, so i know what im saying)
just to get voice working
Yea, im not him lol
it must have been upgraded from windows 7? is that why nothing works right?
that upgrade was ... not smooth
"setting your laptop to performance power mode (battery saving mode can lower power to some devices sometimes) ""
Did not found anything talking about this
well you could try the power mode and setting the steam max pings
but im going to steam now
the power mode is ... uhh lol power control panel
Not really, i bought it with windows 10
command prompt -> "control powercfg.cpl" might load up the poer config
startup repair doesnt seem to do ... much
Maximum pings per seconds is automatic (5000) do i still lower it to 500?
yea
Yeah
ok
lol 5000 pings per second wow
@blissful sequoia Yeah, true, but still. It works sometimes
ok, done it
Yeah, that's steam's default
@sly mortar yea its definitely saved my ass before
you know things are bad when youre looking up how to use fixboot lol
but i've gotten quite good with [boot] partitions
agrael, yea balanced is a power saving mode, use performance
ok
power config is actually something i have to adjust on my computer
default amd runs at 90% and it will cause my computer to blue screen of death...
turn it off, its never crashed in years now
thats a nightmare problem.
Ok, done it
