Steam

#

A DDOSer

blissful sequoia
#

thats a kind of serious amount of traffic, even if the pings are empty

sly mortar
#

Steam does not know what moderation is

blissful sequoia
#

its a ping every .2 ms?

sly mortar
#

It uses ALL of your bandwidth to download, and most of it to ping

blissful sequoia
#

i like how it uses all my download bandwidth

#

but holy crap thats a lot of pings

#

or is that a per minute?

#

5000 per minute not as insane

quasi nebula
#

lol

#

ok, i will try running foxhole again

#

brb

#

Yea, same thing

#

Now what?

blissful sequoia
#

i have no ideas besides a reinstall anymore

#

i am stumped

quasi nebula
#

And by reinstall do you mean format the notebook?

blissful sequoia
#

yea

sly mortar
#

Not necessarily reformat. You can install windows over a previous copy without losing any files.

blissful sequoia
#

and it still wouldnt be a guaranteed fix

#

im just running out of things to test

quasi nebula
#

Good Lord...

#

Me and my luck

blissful sequoia
#

well if its network trouble it might clear up on its own in time...

#

i really dont know

#

or if you had other computers that could test it

#

or if you could repeat the disconnecting problem in any program besides foxhole...

terse flume
#

is anyone here?

#

need help

sly mortar
#

What do you need help with?

terse flume
#

Hello. I am extremely upset. I just purchased the game and have been getting attacked by grievers in the form of squads and single individuals. This is a huge problem for everyone in the game and more good people are getting banned by the greivers rather then the actual grievers getting banned.

There are nowhere near enough votes to deal with the grievers and kick them out. It also takes too many votes to kick a player as it is like 6 rather then 2. When players are in fact kicked, They are then banned for far too long.

#

As an example, I got banned today for 11 hours after someone stole my truck, and i responsibly called them out and asked for it back. The guy simply denied his actions...despite others witnessing him stealing it. He then got his buddies in his squad to vote me out for team killing and vehicle destruction....none of which i did and can be seen in the chat logs. They also said to kill me if i try to wrench my truck back. I didn't even do that, and they tried to kill me anyways

Squads and individuals are bullying other players hardcore by stealing things, lying, and then getting the good guys booted instead of themselves getting booted for stealing and lying. This is a huge problem, and in the last 3 days I have seen it happen at least 40+ times to others as well.

#

This is the second time i was banned and the first time I believe it was for team killing after it was another guy who was running me and others over and nobody could vote even once let alone 6 times to ban him. This is a serious problem and is wreaking the game for everyone.

Please lift my bans, rest them, and then fix the voting system. It should be 3 votes to ban and there should be unlimited votes. Bans should go up 10 minutes every time too. Not 1 hour the first time and 11 hours the second. I have a few days off and now I cant play this game becasue of other bad actors. I have heard many others talking about filling lawsuits, especially new players. I am seriously considering refunding this game, and i have never done that before with a steam game. It's beyond frustrating at this point.

#

my game name is asouhleris if you need to llok it up

sly mortar
#

Hey - Could you take this to a DM with @coarse trail

terse flume
#

ok

#

i messaged it already asking for help

#

but got no response

#

its only been 10 minuters thoiugh

sly mortar
#

Could you send it to @coarse trail again?

terse flume
#

opps

#

ya

sly mortar
#

I'm not seeing anything there

terse flume
#

it should be there now. it looks like someone has seen it.

terse flume
#

Is there anyway you can contact the mod mail team? They don't seem to be doing anything with my message, and it was a bot that responded. Looking at forums this seems like its a huge issue with many other players too, and instead of listening and acting, it looks like they are actively denying this is even an issue in the first place.

sly mortar
#

Mod mail is a bot which forwards everything to the mod team.

#

Your situation is currently being dealt with by people, but most of the mods are busy right now.

quasi nebula
#

I dont really play any other online game

#

idk, i will see if i can figure it out

blissful sequoia
#

it doesnt have to be a game

#

just anything that will complain when it gets disconnected, programs like web pages and skype and stuff will automatically reconnect

#

they might hide disconnecting problems

quasi nebula
#

Well, i just played an entire match of Insurgency and its working fine.

#

And im not having any other problem besides Foxhole

#

Oh and When i do get to enter an play, ever since i bought the game again i cant be locked by faction

#

Everysingle time i have to choose either colonial or warden

#

So, there is that too

blissful sequoia
#

thats normal

#

damn so its just foxhole specific? nuts

sly mortar
#

Foxhole is special

quasi nebula
#

lol Icanari

#

Well, thats why im saying that maybe one of the devs might know

#

It could be something with the code, or an bug relative to the update or something like that

sly mortar
#

Yeah. We could ask Nooba.

#

He might know, and he did tech support a long long time ago.

quasi nebula
#

Well, at least i have an real tech support problem. It aint like: How do i know my ppc is on?

sly mortar
#

Heh

quasi nebula
#

My example sounds impossible, but u would not belive the shit i've heard on tech problems. And i do not work on that an im an tech dino.

#

Or is it exemple? Sorry, i feel i got the word wrong.

sly mortar
#

Example is correct

quasi nebula
#

Ok. In portuguese is Exemplo

#

mixed it up

frank zealot
#

@quasi nebula Kinda late on this but have you checked your sound devices on foxhole and if the output volume is not 0?

quasi nebula
#

Output i dont know, but i cant hear people's mics on foxhole

#

If someone uses the voice chat of foxhole i cant hear.

#

No matter what i do in settings

frank zealot
#

@quasi nebula Does the game give you any error codes in the chatbox?

quasi nebula
#

No

frank zealot
#

It's probably a sound device issue then

#

Can you send me a picture of your voice settings if you're in Foxhole rn?

quasi nebula
#

Yea, but my main problem is still not being able to join the game

#

Im sorry, but i cant right now

frank zealot
#

All good, just ping me when you can

lapis steppe
#

One of my friends reistalled the audio driver, he had conflicts and problems sith his drivers and reistalled all of them, no problems after that. I don't advice you to do that, just find the latest update for some of your drivers, update them, and see how they work with Foxhole.

pale solar
#

Have a problem. I cant hear other player's voices, also i can hear the game sounds, and other players can hear me. Everything was ok about three days ago

drifting hatch
#

Maybe someone can assist me with my discord error on my PC

#

I can't install the program. It always gives me an error about half way through the install

pale solar
#

<@&521124241395941396>

cursive furnace

snow carbon
#

@pale solar connected to voice chat?

pale solar
#

kk

snow carbon
#

#

pale solar
#

sly mortar
#

If that doesn't work, ping me.

snow carbon
#

i tried to connect my blue tooth headphones and it fucked with it hard

plucky bluff
#

#

no need to be a dick too btw

snow carbon
#

my bluetooth connected but didnt play any sound from em and i looked after a while and it said

#

"stream speakers" which idk what that is as i never ever owned or heard of those things

pale solar
#

@sly mortar i tried it but it still didn't work, so reinstalled my game, but it still doesn't work

#

nevermind

#

i just changed my output device and it all get worked :/

#

thx anyways

gritty token
#

Hello

#

Did i get pinged?

sly mortar
#

Was fixed

terse flume
#

Why was I pinged?

sly mortar
#

Because you have the Tech Wizards role.

#

If you don't want to be pinged, don't have the fucking role.

terse flume
#

Wait, I don't think I even chose it

sly mortar
#

Hmm

blissful sequoia
#

@sly mortar dunno about you but im getting tired of voice chat problems and trying to resolve them

#

its a low success rate...

sly mortar
#

YEAH

#

I was tired a long time ago

austere galleon
#

is foxhole down for everyone orrrr just me ? I heard there was a restart on deadlands? i was eating dinner

wanton edge
#

dead shut down on me, been tryn to get to main island from main menu but get connection issues

austere galleon
#

okay so thats not only me

cursive crow
#

hello

#

bye

buoyant crane
#

The server restarted

cursive crow
#

hi

#

i am back

#

now bye

quasi nebula
#

@blissful sequoia @sly mortar Wierdest thing just happened yesterday. I got an stable connection to Foxhole and played for like 7 hours straight. I got some 8 moments with massive lags, in wich i almost disconnected and the Jeep was doing breakdance, but other than that, it worked fine. Just disconnected once when trying to log in.

sly mortar
#

๐Ÿ‘€

quasi nebula
#

Yea. I think it might be the internet provider company malfunction

#

It would explain.

#

We've been having some massive rains all around the country. I think it could be it.

blissful sequoia
#

I kind of think so too but that's a tough problem when they claim they've fixed everything

silver panther
#

@blissful sequoia

#

come here child

blissful sequoia
#

?

silver panther
#

Time to talk no voice error, i'm back at that PC

sly mortar
#

that sounded weird for a second

blissful sequoia
#

oh god lol

sly mortar
blissful sequoia
#

ok i guess remind me where youre at, im "working", so ... might respond slow

#

but yea we are very tired of voice errors

#

what do you think the fix rate is, @sly mortar? I would guess like 50%

sly mortar
#

For the simpler ones, like 60%

#

For the more complicated ones, 20-40%

#

As soon as we get past reinstall + dns, youโ€™re effectively fucked half the time

silver panther
#

@sly mortar I have no clue what's wrong with it...

sly mortar
#

Which is what worries me

silver panther
#

I see that the person is talking but I can't hear them

#

I keep reloading, tried 3 headsets, switched foxhole setting but still can't talk

sly mortar
#

Did you try reinstalling vivox files? Like the third pin I think?

silver panther
#

Tried that weeks ago

blissful sequoia
#

any vivox error code? or error at all?

#

i think its good that you see the person talking

silver panther
#

no

#

I see em talking yes

blissful sequoia
#

makes me think vivox is workoing fine

silver panther
#

it is

blissful sequoia
#

did icanari get you to try soundmeeter yet?

silver panther
#

I did the DNS and SIP ALG

#

it was False

blissful sequoia
#

it doesnt sound like network problem

#

its a mic issue

silver panther
#

Discord works

blissful sequoia
#

volume is too low, wrong mic, or the game cant use the mic (voicemeeter is the fix)

#

and in foxhole youve already set the voice output device?

silver panther
#

Yes

blissful sequoia
#

have you tried soundmeeter yet?

silver panther
#

Should be set to work

#

no

blissful sequoia
#

you can try that

#

to route the mic through a virtual sound device

#

icanari is good with it, he may help if you get confused

sly mortar
#

Voicemeeter*

blissful sequoia
#

oooh

#

sorry yea

sly mortar
#

Iโ€™m not on PC, and wonโ€™t be for 6-8 hours

#

And Iโ€™m only active for like 30m more

silver panther
#

Well then, I will be asleep in 6 hours

blissful sequoia
#

you may not get stuck and need his help at all

sly mortar
#

Itโ€™s pretty easy, and there are good tutorials online

silver panther
#

hopefully

silver panther
#

@sly mortar @blissful sequoia IT WORKED! THANKS!

blissful sequoia
#

sweet

#

I wonder why it works tho...

#

I wonder what makes your mic different...

quasi nebula
#

@blissful sequoia They said there was some regional instability in their servers.

#

So that sucks for me

blissful sequoia
#

oh thats good if they admit it

#

they might fix it and you wont have to do anything

#

maybe keep complaining every week...

quasi nebula
#

I will probably be complaining every 2-3 days

blissful sequoia
#

i sure hope thats the problem and they fix it soon

#

that would be very irritating

barren hamlet
#

Is there a problem with the game website every time I get directed to the devblog were they talk about what they will change and what to come in the upcoming update i get this

gritty token
#

That is a DNS issue @barren hamlet It isn't resolving the IP address

#

unless the site is just down but i dont think it is

#

if you think it is down, send me a link to where you are reffering to

vivid pulsar
#

@barren hamlet If you have an adblock enabled, try disabling it temporarily while opening the foxhole site. I use one and it fucks up every time I navigate to the site when it's enabled.

sly mortar
#

@vivid pulsar Which adblock do you use?

#

Mine never does anything with the website

vivid pulsar
#

@sly mortar I use Opera as my primary browser, has a built-in Adblock.

sly mortar
#

Ah. Yeah, that would do it

vivid pulsar
tulip crest
#

anyone?

sly mortar
#

@tulip crest Have you verified your files?

tulip crest
#

verifying the integrity?

#

if so yes

tulip crest
#

whats steamapps\common directory.

sly mortar
#

Uh

#

Go to your steam install

#

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common

floral compass
#

My game keeps disconnecting me

#

every 10 minutes when i have other programs runniong

#

it does this whenever it wants to, i have no idea how to fix it

#

this is the only game where this happens

inner basin
#

@tulip crest I hope you aren't using any Steam launch parameters ๐Ÿ˜„

frank zealot
#

@floral compass Could be because of the internet quality

floral compass
#

indeed

#

for comparison

#

i have 2 houses, one at countryside

#

and one at the city

#

the city house (where i am now) has this problem

#

and that other house has no fckin problem

#

thanks for helping

#

that's the problem

terse flume
#

i had this since the beginning of this war it never happened in other wars

#

this fucking bullshit keeps me out from ever being logistics player

blissful sequoia
#

are you in brazil?

terse flume
#

no

blissful sequoia
#

its the first question in my flow chart now

#

i suggest you do the DNS change that is described in the pinned messages for this channel

#

and verifying game files might make a difference

tulip crest
#

im awake now

#

@inner basin what are launch parameters

inner basin
#

Go to Steam > Foxhole > Properties...

#

@tulip crest

tulip crest
#

ok

inner basin
#

darn, you should have pinged me @tulip crest

#

If you go to Properties then there will be something called launch parameters or something like that

inner basin
#

Make sure it's blank

tulip crest
#

K

#

launch otptions

#

its blank

#

@inner basin

inner basin
#

Hmm have you reinstalled Foxhole?

ripe sluice
#

I am currently seeing mods having fun with the notifications. Is that a new feature?

vivid pulsar
#

Not at all.

silent stone
#

I've set my DNS as the pinned messages tell me, deleted the files, verified, and restarted. Still doesn't work. <@&521124241395941396>

serene field
#

Hi guys, I can't hear any voice chat in game but game audio works fine, I have tried reconnecting, refreshing device, relaunching game, checking if Steam audio is on, nothing works, what now?

silent stone
#

Check the pinned messages.

serene field
#

where do I see that? Sorry I'm not familiar with how things work here

#

nvm I found it

silent stone
serene field
#

@silent stone are you having the same problems with voice chat?

rocky python
#

Might want to check what your communication device is

#

That is if the pinned mesaage doesn't work

serene field
#

I just changed DNS, gonna hop on game and see if it works

#

it worked!

#

finally

tall pendant
#

Does V-sync work? trying to put it on, but it doesnt switch into it

sonic topaz
#

Hi I have a problem. You see the other day I tried going to deadlands with my Lt tank but I got dc while in the loading screen saying connection to server timed out now everytime I go in the game it wont let me go in and keep on saying connection to server timed out

#

its also happened to my friend

#

because we were both on the same tank

versed dew
#

<@&521124241395941396> Every time I cross over a region I crash and it's caused me to lose a LT and I'm afraid a BT. How do I solve this?

sly mortar
#

Mhm

#

What type of crash

versed dew
#

I lose connection

#

Gives me "You have lost connection to the server"

sly mortar
languid thistleBOT
inner basin
#

@sonic topaz Check the pinned message regarding network issues ๐Ÿ˜„

sly mortar
#

that's what I linked to him

inner basin
#

Well I didn't want him to feel left out

#

It looked like you were just talking to Fonzie

sly mortar
#

ah

inner basin
#

@tall pendant err, make sure you confirm the settings. The graphics do that to me sometimes

loud quail
loud quail
#

Ahh ok thanks

sly mortar
#

@faint steppe @blissful sequoia @gritty token At this point if you want someone to verify files and they have a good internet connection, just get them to the do How-To-Reinstall pin (I'll probably make it into a ?tag at some point), because it's a much more sure thing because it catches all files.

blissful sequoia
#

Oh nice

gritty token
#

Will do!

Someone will respond to you in due time. Other than that, just please be patient.

narrow pond
#

My issue is every time I start my Game and select my team It says The connection to the server has been lost

blissful sequoia
#

Do you see where to read the pinned messages in this room?

#

There is one for changing your DNS server

#

I would recommend you try that first

mellow lodge
#

Files corrupted after initializing the new update...... Win64-shipping.exe I already tried to fix the game and check integrity files.... @hot oak I already followed the steps to fix it, game is still trying to download without stop. Everytime download is finished, a new one starts

trail junco
#

So, this isnt working

#

I am reconnecting my voice and refreshing devices but it doesn't work.

mellow lodge
#

Already followed every steps of how to fix it... doesn't work

#

Corrupted files Shipping.exe are still there

blissful sequoia
#

you followed the method in the #1 pin?

#

verifying game files is not necessary or very helpful, follow the pinned method instead that involves deleting directories

mellow lodge
#

Yes YES YES

#

I already did EVERYTHING Requested (I wouldn't have asked then....)

#

still not working

blissful sequoia
#

ok, can you do a test. can you set your beta option in the properties for foxhole to dev branch

#

let that update and try running that

mellow lodge
#

already tested it

blissful sequoia
#

im curious if the patch from yesterday broke it

#

or one from today

mellow lodge
#

Already tried to choose devbranch then back to regular version

blissful sequoia
#

i think you will probably need to file a bug report

mellow lodge
#

Game is still permaloading updates which lasts between 1 and 15 seconds

blissful sequoia
#

permaloading? in steam?

mellow lodge
#

yes

blissful sequoia
#

well thats interesting

mellow lodge
#

I got updates of 0 /0 bytes which lasts 1 to 10 seconds

#

and restrat without stop

blissful sequoia
#

have you restarted steam already?

mellow lodge
#

Yes

blissful sequoia
#

it sounds like you have a network problem to steam, actually

mellow lodge
#

no

#

everything runs perfectly

blissful sequoia
#

except foxhole and steam updating foxhole?

mellow lodge
#

Only Foxhole got problems

blissful sequoia
#

and steam

mellow lodge
#

Got 111 games running perfectly

#

It's jsut when I made the new update of foxhole

blissful sequoia
#

yea but you cant update a game

mellow lodge
#

I started to have problems...

blissful sequoia
#

so that makes me think steam is not running perfectly

mellow lodge
#

Did u checked the screen ?

#

Corrupted file

#

shipping64.exe

#

It's a straight problem with Game files

blissful sequoia
#

yes i saw it

#

well what do YOU think it is then?

#

if you think foxhole is broken, file a bug report

#

i think steam is not able to write to the files

mellow lodge
#

and then what ? I call 911 to ask for a Clapfoot technician to pick a flight to france and fix it from my desk ?

blissful sequoia
#

perhaps running steam as administrator might get it to update

#

i dunno theyve fixed bigger problems without flying anywhere

#

im surprised how much theyre able to do with a bug report

#

you may also not be the only one, so it sometimes helps other people, or multiple accounts help determine the problem

mellow lodge
#

I already got this problem once

#

During Dead harvest even

blissful sequoia
#

and please try steam as administrator

mellow lodge
#

I reinstalledthe game and it worked

#

Today, I got same problem with the .exe corrupted

#

but the Reinstall pipeline doesn't work

#

Nope, It's still trying to "Validate" files

blissful sequoia
#

thats so weird.

#

will you try another reinstall? with some changes

#

can you make sure steam is shut down after uninstall (before deleting the directories). you might have to find steam in the task manager to make sure it's not running

#

and after you delete the directory, restart your computer before continuing to re-install

#

i think steam is holding a file open

mellow lodge
#

it takes me around 4 hours to get FH completely installed

blissful sequoia
#

oh, its a long download?

mellow lodge
#

no more like shit internet widthband

blissful sequoia
#

Is it possible to do it when you go to sleep today?

mellow lodge
#

no

blissful sequoia
#

You see - I think it's weird steam can't update the file, before foxhole even runs

mellow lodge
#

Foxhole is the ONLY GAME which creates problems of those sorts with Steam during updates...

blissful sequoia
#

steam should not get stuck

mellow lodge
#

I got other steam games running with UE4 too, which never cause any problem...

blissful sequoia
#

maybe foxhole has steam bugs

mellow lodge
#

See 0 bytes / 0 bytes

#

Remaining time : 2 m 17 sec

#

Well, I give up, see you FH...

wet leaf
#

Is there a bug or something when saving settings? Options-Text chat SFX=off-apply. I have to do this EVER. SINGLE. TIME. getting f'in old. going on 9 months of this, not to mention countless re-downloads and steam intregrity checks. Any help?

sly mortar
#

@wet leaf could you try the top pinned message? Sorry, but foxhole normally doesnโ€™t uninstall well...

wet leaf
#

uff, didnt even think of chekcing pins. Thanks @sly mortar ill give it a go.

#

shakes head

#

apperes only be the Foxhole Icon too....strange.

blissful sequoia
#

@sly mortar this seems like the second case

#

well maybe not

#

but you were right. they took down the dev branch and now we have problems

trail junco
#

XD

wet leaf
#

so does Foxhole not have a simple INI file we can edit to keep settings?

#

I'm not finding one.

blissful sequoia
#

kind of

#

its in that %appdata%\..\local\Foxhole dir

wet leaf
#

this settings not saveing is some day one needs fixing kinda stuff in my book

blissful sequoia
#

it doesnt affect everyone

wet leaf
#

well, I dont know everyone but in my group it's happening to all of us (aroudn 10, all using W10)

blissful sequoia
#

wow...

#

you're sure you deleted those directories after uninstalling?

wet leaf
#

absolutely

#

also confirmed they where gone after the restart.

#

before i re-dl'ed FH

sly mortar
#

Mhm. Go to C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Local\Foxhole\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor\GameUserSettings There might be something in there.

wet leaf
#

only 2 ini's not empty, other is keymap

sly mortar
#

Yeah. Kind of as expected.

#

The only other settings files are packed into UE4, so they aren't really accessible.

wet leaf
#

well, its hardcoded into my brain to automaticly go to settings and do what I and others have been doing so no loss anyways. Agian, thanks for the help.

blissful sequoia
#

alt + print screen captures just the active window

#

now im wondering who the redhead is

terse flume
#

as soon as i get into the home region i crash

blissful sequoia
#

have you reinstalled as the first pinned message suggests?

#

we havent had 1 success from it yet with the new patch

#

but it will be the first thing we suggest anyway

stray copper
#

I have this issue every time a download hits foxhole where I can't start the game, it says the "war process returned a number: 1-5", or something similar usually, after waiting a while it tends to sort itself out, but it seems to stop me from playing the game at all for an entire day after an update drops.

#

"Createprocess returned: 5" whatever that means.

blissful sequoia
#

did you read the 1st pinned message, @stray copper?

stray copper
#

nothing can ever be simple

#

okay i'll try it

blissful sequoia
#

well we dont have a ton of ideas for new problems yet

stray copper
#

Yeah that did nothing

#

same problem

blissful sequoia
#

you have any thoughts about it?

#

createprocess is probably a function that starts a thread

#

the thread will catch ALL errors in it's initialization, so I'm guessing it's very generic

stray copper
#

Well typically what fixes it is just ignoring the game for a day.

#

But I could list off the full error screen that comes up if you want

blissful sequoia
#

ignoring the game for a day? like it gets patched?

#

or you restart your computer in the meantime?

stray copper
#

Couldn't Start: "C:/Programfiles(x86)/steamapps/common/foxhole/war/binaries/win64/war-win64-shipping.exe" War Createprocess returned 5.

#

Thats the entire error message

blissful sequoia
#

yea thats not much info

#

there could perhaps be an error log somewhere

stray copper
#

Well I guess im not playing tonight

#

gotta wait until tomorrow till it hopefully fixes itself

#

thank god this game doesn't have daily updates

blissful sequoia
#

sorry im listening to presscorps getting distracted

#

have you tried running steam in administrator?

#

is there a way to get the command line for war-win64 with the args? hmm

stray copper
#

This is the only game I've had this kinda problem with

blissful sequoia
#

yea thats often the case with problems here

#

i wonder if this is one of those fullscreen problems

stray copper
#

Fullscreen problems?

blissful sequoia
#

yea so previous settings are saved somewhere, or maybe the default settings of the game cause you problems

#

icanari's pin from 12/15

stray copper
#

Starting the game in windowed might fix it?

blissful sequoia
#

like the 4th pin down, maybe its something related to that

#

its something that comes up between patches

#

"Fixing resolution settings..."

stray copper
#

Hey, guess what.

#

I changed nothing.

#

Game works now.

#

tadahhh.

blissful sequoia
#

wtf

#

did steam restart?

#

something

stray copper
#

Idk, just decided to launch that time.

frank hill
#

So my game just freezes and the screen goes black whenever i try to start from steam

blissful sequoia
#

please check the 4th pinned message

#

the one about screen resolution

#

and also the first pinned message might possibly solve your problem

#

the screen resolution pin is easier to try, i suggest doing that first, then try pin #1

frank hill
#

Thanks for the help will check that out

#

Yep that Fixed it. Thanks

blissful sequoia
#

awesome

Looks like my game has broke again, still having same issue with a black screen when loading but changing resolution in the config files isn't working

blissful sequoia
#

@frank hill try pin #1, the reinstall

frank hill
#

Ok

steady umbra
#

O.k, I honestly don't know what to do anymore. I have NOTHING else running, this has been happening for a while now. Would really to know if i can fix it, or if my laptop is just too outdated now.
*Also i had literally just re-installed the game like 10 seconds prior

blissful sequoia
#

have you restarted your computer?

steady umbra
#

I have earlier today, yes. I can do it again, why not.

#

Unless you mean like factory reset

blissful sequoia
#

no

#

just a simple restart

#

foxhole might be hung up in the background or another application using up video mem

steady umbra
#

*to help specify it works when i'm in the menu, only happens when i try to join a side (but happens every time)

blissful sequoia
#

oh

#

...oh ...

#

can you adjust your graphics settings to lower the texture quality

#

perhaps you have had your settings reset and now textures are using a high amount of video ram

steady umbra
#

I could, the main thing is i have had the settings on ultra since my first time of use and never had this problem.

blissful sequoia
#

you can leave ultra on but drop the texture quality

#

you can adjust just that 1 thing

steady umbra
#

I'll try a few things, i'll get back to you in a bit

blissful sequoia
#

yea ill bbiab too

steady umbra
#

O.k, i found the problem (i guess? It's working now)
I changed it from windowed full srceen to just full screen and that worked

#

I can even tab in and out to here
I'll try joining a map real quick

#

O.k now that's crashed... I guess i'll just have to turn the graphics down. Oh well

gritty token
#

@trail junco Did your issue go away?

#

If not, still need help?

blissful sequoia
#

oh, graphics resolution problem i guess

steel hearth
#

Hey boys been having this issue a lot lately. Anyone has it also? Any fix or something?

light mesa
#

Have you tried verifying the game files?

spark storm
#

@steady umbra Do you know whatkind GPU you have on your laptop? I was playing foxhole with integrated GPU for a while intel HD4000 series

#

and that's like from 2010

steel hearth
#

@light mesa yeah i did

#

nothing wrong

#

today i havent had the issue once

#

it seems really random

#

i dont know

sly mortar
#

Try the top pin, if that doesnโ€™t work the Microsoft 2015 c++ one @steel hearth

steady umbra
#

@spark storm I'll be honest, i have next to no idea how to check how much GPU, RAM, memory cap, etc.

sly mortar
#

@steady umbra Could you go to your search bar in windows, and type dxdiag?

#

Then run that?

#

That will tell you your computer specifics.

jade lantern
#

plz help i cant open the res tab

blissful sequoia
#

@jade lantern maybe F8 key

jade lantern
#

f8 didnt do anything except for hiding the hud df

wow

#

ummm the settings .config file should be located in your AppData folder @jade lantern

#

C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Local\Foxhole\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor\GameUserSettings There's a couple .config files there, but I think this is the one

Would you be so kind and fix (or at least remove) the 2 not working achievements in Fortified? Removing them shouldn't take more than a few minutes. Players have been asking for this for ages, please do something.

well changing res in config didnt actually changed the res but it did give me a fps boost for some reason

@inner basin u got a moment ?

inner basin

@molten swan I assume you have followed the steps of the network pin?

terse flume
#

@inner basin it was for him and me btw, i could use ur help

inner basin
#

ye, what's up?

#

Sorry, I assumed you just wanted to get my attention for the fella

terse flume
#

Do u have a solution about downloading the new FH update ? Its telling me its already downloaded ( so its at 13.8/ 13.8 MB) but Steam doesnt count it as being fully downloaded. The time remaining on the download is increasing every time, its a like 23 hours or some shit, and ive been waiting for 1 hour

inner basin
#

If it's fully downloaded and you are still waiting, it means it's installing.

proud dagger
#

@terse flume i had that issue since last year version

inner basin
#

But I've had ridiculous installation times before.

proud dagger
#

my advice to you , i did this, i basically shut down/ restart my PC , exitted steam and relogged back in

#

at the same time try running only steam at that time

#

and run it as administrator

inner basin
#

If a step doesn't work, try the next one.

  1. Stop the download. Wait like 5 minutes and then resume the progress
  2. Do the same thing as above, except stop the download AND disconnect from your network. then wait 5 minutes
  3. Navigate to the Steam "Downloads" folder on your file system and delete all of it.
    • File path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\downloading
#

@terse flume

proud dagger
#

@terse flume u can try that if not tried yet

#

yeah i also did step 1 and 2

#

it worked most of the time

#

no 3 for me

terse flume
#

hang on, im gonna try both

proud dagger
#

yis

#

try all of them

#

although i have switched to a faster laptop and i now no longer have this issue

I'm getting this error again, just like I did after the last update (motorboat one). I've gone through the steps @sly mortar linked me to last time which worked then but this time haven't solved the problem. I've verified on steam, I've reinstalled the vcredist exes, renamed the xinput1_3.dll files so that the UE4 installer reinstalls them and ran sfc /scannow. I'm still getting the error, either the moment I boot up the game or other times about 2-3 minutes into playing.

Does anyone have any ideas about this error this time around?

Thanks in advance.

junior pivot
#

Okay I've just deleted the game and redownloaded/installed it, restarted my PC before playing and still, I'm getting the same error I screenshotted above.

blissful sequoia
#

video drivers?

junior pivot
#

up to date

blissful sequoia
#

any alternatives possible?

#

if they are nvidia, the ones from manufacturer instead, or vice versa

#

perhaps a difference in version ...

#

video card fan runs ok? its not overheating? suspicious because you say soemtimes 2-3m in

junior pivot
#

I could try rolling the drivers back, but I just updated to the newest nvidia drivers because I was getting this issue in foxhole

#

all other games run fine

#

granted the games I've tried aren't Unreal Engine games but things like CS:GO and League of Legends work fine

blissful sequoia
#

have you already filed a bug report?

#

this one happens ot have a specific error with a line number, so ...

#

might be very enlightening to a developer

#

also maybe generic to UE4 games of this specific version of the engine, i think they are like 4.21.xx

junior pivot
#

Ah okay

#

Should I post what I posted above in the bugreport discord channel? Or do you mean file a bugreport on the website (if that's a thing)?

blissful sequoia
#

is it a laptop?

#

notebook?

#

@junior pivot

junior pivot
#

no desktop

#

okay thanks

blissful sequoia
#

hmm

#

have you reinstalled directx?

junior pivot
#

Yeah but I could do it again?

blissful sequoia
#

hmm

#

maybe not useful to do twice

junior pivot
#

thanks for the help by the way so far ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

blissful sequoia
#

theres a lot of similar problems in UE4 where people fixed it by doing regedit on these:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\GraphicsDrivers]

"TdrDelay"=dword:0000000a

"TdrDebugMode"=dword:00000001

"TdrLevel"=dword:00000000

#

I am not sure if that would help

#

it would seem like its related to the video driver though

junior pivot
#

Hmm so it's an issue between the nvidia drivers and the UE4 engine?

#

I'll try that thanks, and if it doesn't work I'll post in #bug-reports

#

I don't have any of those key/values in the \GraphicsDrivers folder, should I just add them? Or should they be there for me to edit?

#

I just added those keys, restarted and then booted up the game, I was able to play for about 3 minutes before the same error killed the game ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

blissful sequoia
#

yea not the fix then

#

i wonder if nuking the video drivers with some software to do that and reinstall...

#

i wonder if disabling real time thuumbnails made any difference too

sly mortar
#

Try updating video drivers, if that doesn't work, revert them.

blissful sequoia
#

i think there is special software to remove nvidia drivers completely

terse flume
#

?neutral.

spark storm
#

DDU is pretty good

#

System restore point is pretty good when you're attemting anything you're unsure of

junior pivot
#

I was on the 2nd newest drivers and I got the crash, so that's why I updated the drivers and still got the crash. I hadn't updated my nvidia drivers since the last time I had the error, because I didn't want to inadvertantly cause it again

#

I remember using CCleaner in the past so I'll have a go at that. Thanks everyone for the help so far

spark storm
#

CCleaner is good tool too

#

Also just a side note, make sure you're actually using your main GPU and not the integrated one, I've seen that error few times and those guys were actually using their integrated gpu with foxhole

junior pivot
#

hmm good idea, I haven't changed it myself but maybe the update did, I'll check now before I go through uninstalling/reinstalling nvidia drivers

#

I've got the game loaded now and the options open, is there anywhere that would tell me if it was using integrated or the graphics card?

spark storm
#

Not from game but you can run dxdiag

#

and check display

#

Or you can go device manager

#

Or if you have nvidia card, you can go there and set it as preferred GPU to run with all or certain applications

#

I think AMD has similar thing but I haven't used them in 10 years so.. it probably has been changed :D

junior pivot
#

Ah awesome, thank you for all the info. I've had the game running for about 20 minutes now with no issues, nothing has changed since the last time I tried and it crashed but fingers crossed it's okay. I'll have a go and totally deleting the drivers and reinstalling them if I get another crash and also use those utilities to check the game is using the card etc, thanks!

spark storm
#

There's many things it can be, like for some people it was GPU overheating and them actually downclocking the GPU worked out

#

And like it has been from mid end cards to highend cards so it's really hard to troubleshoot, kinda have to try out step by step :p

blissful sequoia
#

wow moxie knows a lot about video card stuff

#

:makes a note:

sly mortar
#

@spark storm get the Tech Wizards role..

blissful sequoia
#

fancy 1080 too...

#

best video card ive ever had was a 670 i took home from the office

sly mortar
#

๐Ÿ‘€

blissful sequoia
#

well all i play is foxhole...

#

its overkill for foxhole

sly mortar
#

Mhm.

blissful sequoia
#

i just hate building expensive computers, they depreciate so fast

sly mortar
#

Mhm.

#

I have the 1070, and I'm better on 2-3 more years out of it.

blissful sequoia
#

400 bucks on a video card is so painful

sly mortar
#

I bought it when the price was still low.

blissful sequoia
#

and the last couple years have been ridiculous pricing from all the gpu compute demand

#

theres a lot of stuff coming up on used market, maybe ill step into a 1080 now that theyre kind of old

#

theyre still 400 used tho hah

#

theyre closer to 600 used

#

670 is like rent controlled apartment. high performance so you dont want to upgrade, but old features so you're miserable

sly mortar
#

Haha

#

The main thing I love about my newer card is that the Control Panel has all the features.

blissful sequoia
#

like in the windows control panel?

sly mortar
#

No, the nvidia control panel

#

From the desktop.

Hello-all, I appreciate your time looking into this. I am unable to submit research parts to the tech center. This happened around 6PM PST during mid sticky research,. Step 1 to resolve : I restarted computer, step 2: verify game in steam and restart, multiple log out attempts.

#

I have submitted MOD mail and they have sent me here.

spark storm
#

Could you tell in detail how you submit the parts?

toxic nimbus
#

I clicked left click while they were on my person and not in my truck.

spark storm
#

Or let me ask it this way, have you successfully submitted tech in past?

toxic nimbus
#

Yes

#

thousands

spark storm
#

But after patch it doesn't work?

#

Or did something else change?

toxic nimbus
#

It did work after patch.

#

I couldn't at 6PM yesterday PST.

#

I believe I submitted 80+ yesterday before it broke.

spark storm
#

Need someone else to troubleshoot this one, I got nothing D: @blissful sequoia
@sly mortar you're up!

#

Are you able to submit them now?

toxic nimbus
#

I can try.

#

Need to get one first one sec

spark storm
#

I can only assume it's somekind hiccup on server side and not your pc especialy if it works now

toxic nimbus
#

I tried 15 minutes ago and it didn't work.

spark storm
#

I see

toxic nimbus
#

Let me find another part though. I tried all night for 15+ hours. so

spark storm
#

Which side you're playing and did you try only one research place?

toxic nimbus
#

The only side. Colonial

#

No, ive only tried UW

spark storm
#

I'll come gather some scrap with you, lets see if I can submit

toxic nimbus
#

You can, because ive given my tech to other people

#

and Casper submitted the one from my inventory

spark storm
#

That's definately odd then, I don't think anyone on tech chat can help you, it's up to the devs

toxic nimbus
#

Thank you for your time.

blissful sequoia

inner basin
#

@bold nova You can't see soldiers that are outside your ~7m view radius, when you are using binoculars

blissful sequoia
#

really?

bold nova
#

what is the point then?

blissful sequoia
#

is that new?

inner basin
#

I remember they patched it so that the enemy sprites don't "load in" when you zoom with the binos

blissful sequoia
#

when?

bold nova
#

why?

inner basin
#

I will consult the regulars, I might be wrong

bold nova
#

how am i supposed to spot far off infantry to kill with my howie?

blissful sequoia
#

yea i thought binos could see people just fine

#

of course, not at night, and they dont show obscured people

bold nova
#

if i can see the soldier but not thier name would that count as the binos working?

inner basin
#

@bold nova @blissful sequoia

#

The binos are mainly for day-time, long range scouting

bold nova
#

yea seems that way

inner basin
#

I understand that the bug allowed you to see enemies as they loaded in when using the binos, but that's been fixed

#

That's why binos suck now at night unfortunately

blissful sequoia
#

i dont believe thats the issue at hand

#

@bold nova yes if you can see players but no name - that is working as expected

#

player names are only up close

inner basin
#

Yes, that's true ^

loud bane
#

hello, if I have a performance issue should I ask here or mod report?

inner basin
#

We can try to help you ๐Ÿ˜„ @loud bane

#

Usually going to the devs is a last resort

loud bane
#

@inner basin fair enough, so the issue is today I noticed that I'm losing around 10~12 fps around towns especially overlook in certain times of the day cycle when I have the Shadows on Ultra, and I didn't have this issue before, disabling vsync makes the game even more stuttery around those areas, the only thing that helped me was putting the shadows on medium, the only issue is they look bad and I think my pc is capable on running the game on ultra. I forgot to mention it mainly happens when I'm driving.

inner basin
#

@loud bane Did the fps drops start happening right around Update 0.20? It came out December 12.

#

I ask this because this is the update that significantly overhauled towns. This included new assets and made the towns very detailed

#

I am sure that this can increase the load on the graphics card

#

mainly happens when driving that is a weird factor

#

Have you tried to verify the game files, or a re-install?

loud bane
#

@inner basin no to be honest I only noticed it today, because the drop is too obvious, I haven't had this issue 2 wars ago, I mean not even before today, and right now when I'm pressing M to see the map, I'm getting between 40 to 45 fps on the map screen, does the performance gets worse the more buildings and defenses on the map? I'll try verifying the game files, and mb reinstalling later.

inner basin
#

Well I mean, the more things the graphics card has to render, the more taxing it will be obviously

#

@loud bane

#

Oh and btw what is your graphics card?

loud bane
#

gtx 1080 @inner basin

inner basin
#

wtf, my 950 gets like 40 fps with max settings HBjoy

#

yeah something is wrong, either faulty GPU or something else that I don't know about

sly mortar
#

@loud bane Try updating graphics drivers if you haven't, and Ultra really fucks with your PC. You need a really good CPU, not GPU to run ultra at high FPS.

blissful sequoia
#

really?

sly mortar
#

Yea.

blissful sequoia
#

whats it doing with all the cpu?

sly mortar
#

There is a massive difference (at least on my PC) between High and Ultra in CPU usage.

#

Like, upwards of 5%.

blissful sequoia
#

i run ultra, and my video card kind of sucks, but i think cpu is pretty decent

#

i see around 10-15% use of cpu tho

#

liek total

sly mortar
#

Mhm.

#

I normally see between 3 and 8.

#

What CPU do you have?

blissful sequoia
#

a ryzen 5

sly mortar
#

Mhm. I've got an 8700K.

blissful sequoia
#

is than an i7?

sly mortar
#

Yeah.

blissful sequoia
#

i updated/refreshed all my computers during the spectre and meltdown bugs

#

suddenly im 100% amd lol

sly mortar
#

Mhm.

#

I didn't. I just didn't download anything.

blissful sequoia
#

even if you werent exploited, the kernel patches were pretty painful on performance

sly mortar
#

I haven't noticed a difference.

blissful sequoia
#

i dont think there were any incidents of it actually being used that anyone knows about

#

but yea those first patches were like 10% penalty, sometimes 50% if the program had a lot of system calls

sly mortar
#

Yes. But now? They're down to like 0.5% or less.

blissful sequoia
#

theyre getting better over time

#

but it was a weird time to be buying intel

sly mortar
#

I bought beforehand.

blissful sequoia
#

yea i likely would have gone i5 otherwise

inner basin
#

Ah, Spectre and Meltdown

loud bane
#

@sly mortar yeah I believe it's a cpu issue I did monitor it, strange thing is, it didn't happen before today to me and only when shadows on high or ultra, I have an old cpu but it's a decent one i7 4790k @4.8.. I guess I will lower the shadows to medium if it keeps happening, because it still inconsistent and it happens only when driving

Crashed and got this error

verifying game files might fix your problem

#

that is seemingly the first corrupt file i've seen in here

inner basin
#

@white trench The game uses Vivox voice engine, it is clearly stated on the main menu...

analog mirage
#

Fixed

blissful sequoia
#

what fixed it?

analog mirage
#

Verifying game cache files

blissful sequoia
#

sweet!

#

that is like the only time that has ever worked

inner basin
#

I wouldn't say the only time

plucky roost

@blissful sequoia {
"title": "test",
"test1": false
}

cursive socket
#

Oof

blissful sequoia
#

so your DNS is fine. hmm

#

it could be an old version, or your ISP might have routing problems

#

if you have good bandwidth and dont mind reinstalling foxhole, i'd recommend trying using the 1st pinned message that's posted here

#

and when that doesn't work, perhaps the only way to know for certain that the network problem is not you is to use a VPN for a test

Push to Mute

A very common setup for those that use Voice Activity (voice detected mic) is to use Push to Mute as well.
By setting Push to Mute as your in-game voice key ( Default "T" ), you can effectively "flip/flop" between talking in Discord and in-game. Whenever you pressed "T" to talk in-game, it would mute you in Discord until you unpressed the key.

To set this up, go to: User Settings > Keybinds and Add a Keybind for a Push to Mute action, with the keybind set to your in-game voice key (default to "T").

This works well for anyone that uses voice activation instead of Push to Talk, as it prevents people in Discord from having to hear your in-game chatter.

tame schooner
#

So here is the thing, I have problem with my voice chat activation in game. My microphone works fine at Discord. I tried to test a little bit and tried to reconnect, refresh devices and switch devices but push to talk still does not work. Thanks!

blissful sequoia
#

has it worked before? is this a new problem?

inner basin
#

@tame schooner Any errors you are seeing? Usually you would get like a Voice error blah blah when that happens

tame schooner
#

ah I got Voice error 8 (6-0)

#

something like that

#

and it has not worked before

#

I tried to speak like 1 month ago have not worked and I just forgot about that and it annoyed me today so wanted to see what is the problem with that

#

@inner basin

tame schooner
#

I will chech that out tomorrow and will say results now I will log off

check

Hopefully it fixes it for you ๐Ÿ‘

outgoing norton firewall, hm blade? what gives

#

the windows firewall vastly superior to any external firewall program

#

i still have ptsd from norton firewall days 10-15 years ago

inner basin
#

hey

#

maybe I should uninstall it ๐Ÿค”

blissful sequoia
#

well i expect its limited compared to the windows firewall interface?

inner basin
#

Y'know, I actually did uninstall it. But the anxiety of getting a virus from my "free" Photoshop made me reinstall it

#

No idea as to which firewall is better

blissful sequoia
#

hmm

inner basin
#

Windows Firewall asks about Foxhole traffic on my non-Norton laptop kappaflyinchicken

blissful sequoia
#

ive heard of at least 5 ways to run windows programs in sandboxes... i dunno if any of them are still valid

inner basin
#

I have Sandboxie, but it is limited

blissful sequoia
#

but its comign to a new version of windows soon, if not the latest. their first move is to integrate the virus scanner into a sandbox

inner basin
#

Damn that'd be awesome to have a virus scanner within the sandbox itself

blissful sequoia
#

i always found the norton firewall to be way too bullish - like interrogating every outgoing connection, wtf

inner basin
#

Who are you and where are you going??

#

just... over there, sir. points to Steam port

blissful sequoia
#

not so fast - you gotta pay the troll toll

#

you were full screen? HAH. not anymore.

@inner basin

tame schooner
#

Fixing Vivox Voice Files did

#

Does not work

#

And did the dns one still does not work

#

@inner basin

inner basin
#

Have you restarted your router? @tame schooner

tame schooner
#

no I have not

#

I will later

#

cant right now

#

but I have not changed DNS for router

#

just for my device I am playing on

tame schooner
#

ok

#

it worked

#

@inner basin thanks a lot

inner basin
#

Dang, that was it?

#

Well, at least it worked for ya

#

These issues can be very finicky

inner basin
#

So, you restarted your router and all these problems started occuring?

tame schooner
#

My problem has not been fixed with voice chat and got another problem from nowhere and that problem is I cant aim in game, game frezzes for couple of sec

#

Aim problem occured after I did that DNS related fix for voice chat

#

now I got back on old DNS adress, still same problem

inner basin
#

<@&521124241395941396> This fellow player experienced a voice chat bug, so I had him restart his router. After that, he said his game was in a worse state than before. He couldn't even aim; the screen would freeze up apparantly. So I had him:

  1. Restart Steam
  2. Restart computer
  3. Verify game files.
  4. Completely reinstall Foxhole
    And he still says the game is broken. Anybody have any tips? I already had him follow the two pinned messages regarding voice errors.
plucky bluff
#

what does task manager say

#

show how war.exe process affects the pc

#

"screen freezes up" sounds like ram/disk on 100%

tame schooner
#

thats just when I try to aim

#

Haven't had this issue before

#

I got it today

#

I will reinstall foxhole again

#

brb in 20 min or so

plucky bluff
#

it might not be foxhole but your drivers
update gfx drivers, directx etc

tame schooner
#

gfx drivers are up to date

#

Direct X should be too

#

I have Direct X 11

#

I use win 7

lapis steppe
#

uninstall Foxhole, delete the Foxhole folder in steam, reinstall drivers, restart computer, then install Foxhole again, this fixed for me at some point...

tame schooner
#

aim does not work still

#

I just want aiming to work again

#

now I got wrong desktop shortcut for game

#

I got interent shortcut that does not have valid target

#

this is driving me crazy now

#

what should I do?

inner basin
#

Launch the game purely from Steam. Make sure there are no launch parameters set

tame schooner
#

Yes did that

#

Everything same again

inner basin
#

what happens when you aim?

#

It freezes?

tame schooner
#

Yes

#

For 4 s

#

3-4 s freeze

inner basin
#

You have any other games that work fine?

tame schooner
#

Yes all of them

#

All of games work fine

inner basin
#

Ok what's your GPU? Foxhole worked fine before, right?

#

It was restarting the router that caused all this to happen?

tame schooner
#

Yes foxhole worked fine today till 18:00

#

I tried to do that dns fix for voice chat

inner basin
#

Y'know this might be a network problem after all...

tame schooner
#

Did everything like it was said

#

It was not fixed

#

I left the game

#

And went to play some Company of Heroes 2

#

After I finished session of CoH 2 I came back in foxhole and had this aiming issue

#

After that I restarted my router 2 times

#

Till now

sly mortar
#

Did you restart your router a second time?

#

Jiggle the cords around a bit?

tame schooner
#

I have not jiggled anything

#

XD

#

I restarted PC and router

#

Internet connection was good

#

Pc everything as usula

#

Usual

wind viper
#

i am going to assume you verified the game integrity

inner basin
#

Yeah he did already

Coming back to Foxhole after a month or two my voice chat problem is now completely different. It appears now connecting to local voice channel is disabling all sound output, even from other programs. I am not receiving any errors that I am not connected to chat however my entire PC's sound output dies as soon as I do. If I disconnect my sound returns, however disabling voice chat has not resolved the issue as the client still automatically connects to the local voice server.

#

This appears to be only affecting when I put the output through my headset, I am still receiving sound normally through speakers if I restart without it connected.

blissful sequoia
#

@echo blade if you use the headset in another program, like skype or discord cause the same symptom? Can it be repeated without foxhole?

#

If no other programs can mimic that, then I suspect your vivox is screwed. there is a pinned message about restoring the vivox files

tame schooner
#

anyone else any advice on my problem?

#

I cant play the game

blissful sequoia
#

you on windows 10?

tame schooner
#

win7

blissful sequoia
#

hmm

tame schooner
#

I have aiming problem

blissful sequoia
#

I want to see what it looks like

tame schooner
#

when I try to aim game freezes on 3-4 s

blissful sequoia
#

Any possible way to record it easily?

tame schooner
#

we could go on screen share?

blissful sequoia
#

on discord?

#

im using the web ui lol

tame schooner
#

oh

#

eehhh

#

I could record it with phone

blissful sequoia
#

yea

#

that works

sly mortar
#

Why would you ever use the webUI?

#

But if screensharing is easier for you, I can do it.

blissful sequoia
#

i got in an argument in the main room and i got muted so i uninstalled cause i bailed on FoD

sly mortar
#

Oh.

blissful sequoia
#

just never reinstalled it lol

sly mortar
#

reinstall...

blissful sequoia
#

im not like 100% committed to using discord yet

#

im very curious what "freeze" means. it means different things to different people

#

network freeze? video card freeze? mouse stutter? so many things it could look like

#

but a first guess is that right click is doing something besides just right clicking

sly mortar
#

If you @blissful sequoia reinstall, and @tame schooner you want to screenshare, ping me.

blissful sequoia
#

and my guess is mapping that key to another button doesnt simulate the same lag that right mouse button does
