i think he said it had
It used to work, but I reinstalled the game
doesnt work still sadly
voicemeeter also did not achieve
try disabling any firewall including windows temporarily
i dont have any firewall enabled atm
Hey all, maybe someone can help me, got a new Bluetooth headset, works great on everything except foxhole. Audio starts out great, I get into game and as soon as the game connects to local chat channel all sound is gone. The only way I can hear game sound and chat is if both output and input are set to the mic headset portion but the game sounds like crap. Any thoughts?
What is that if you don’t mind me asking idk what voicemeeter is
Yea nope voice meter was a waste of time.
Could you send a picture of the setup you have for it?
That's because you set everything to go to everything...
Also, did you set it so that VB-Audio Voicemeeter is the default windows device for both input and output?
Yes
If I play sounds from the computer yes, when I’m talking no. But I can’t hear any of it
Yes
They work fine on everything except foxhole, even in foxhole they work until 4 seconds in then everything goes silent.
Well thanks anyways, I’ve spent 4 hours testing them on everything besides the game and they are fine, all roads point to foxhole with the issue.
onboard sound card ?
no
just thought if you had 2 you could try another
actually if its bt headphones, it wont be even using your sound card
maybe try normal speakers or headphones (mobile handsfree even) to compare
I have, works fine with a pair of normal headphones and actually when I disable the mic portion of the bt headphones it works fine, it’s when I enable the mic everything shuts down audio wise.
what if you use a normal mic ?
Not sure if I have a spare mic, I’ll get back to you on that
Ok separate mic works
how would i go about fixing the home region problem
yea
Try restarting steam
Task Manager it, then restart it
If that doesn't work, try this: https://canary.discordapp.com/channels/203512636556574720/551236268004999168/551239621598773249
can you explain better 😃 I dont understand what you mean by restart it
oh ok
спасибо
really strange
so game work when i go to join a server from browse server
actually it just said conquest hasnt start yet
@terse flume Make sure you click "Join War"
Hi, yesterday was everything ok with starting Foxhole...
this happened now <@&521124241395941396> . Can u help with this ?
yes
or reinstalling the game
oh no. ok will try
try repairing the files as well
@frosty minnow just verify integrity on steam
might help
Ok I was about to try it out... if it will not work I will let you know... thank you 😉
it should work
Duri89 looks like the process failed to exit
Look for it in task manager by press CTRL + SHIFT + ESC
then looking for it in the process list and killing then
then try opening again
or you could just restart
Looks like your binary did become corrupted too
hi guys, i got a problem with the sound, i cant hear anyone talk in game, they can hear me and everthing else is loud and clear, i read the tech read-first, but no help. maybe someone has an idea ?
@crisp trail Reconnect to the server via Settings > Voice
Yeah, when something like that happens to you, search for the process in the admin (ctrl + shitf + esc), kill it, and try to restart it.
thanks
@blissful sequoia @sly mortar @inner basin we got a final list I want to swipe da card?
there may be some debate over the ... final list
over storage, your input probably required
and definitely look over the case and the fans
@narrow escarp did you ever answer my question about the storage options?
Im good with maximum
rather have it than cut back and have to do it later
I can handle assembly but will probably go-pro it for you all to laugh at me
Pressing E on the skirmish Monument in the home map crashes the game with Fatal error I can confirm it happened to me every time while I was near it and pressed E by mistake, and another person can confirm as well.
which home region? also thats #bug-reports
Warden home region
hmm i checked it yesterday without a problem
wonder if there was a change since then
The first time I was picking fuel from the ground near the Monument, i press E by mistake on the Monument and it said Fatal error, I rejoined and was picking the fuel again and I also did the same mistake again and it crashed again, then I rejoined and tried it twice on purpose and every time I clicked E on the Monument it crashed the game, I talked about it in the world chat and someone else confirmed that it happened to him as well.
theyll see your bug report and test it probably
Anyone know how to fix a lag game it freezes up for a few seconds every 5 seconds
hello guys
im new to this game, and im getting the lost connection to server error
how could i fix it
thx
@steel mica Try restarting steam. Go to task manager, kill the program, then restart it. If that doesn't work, ping me.
Alright
Here's the more in depth troubleshooting guide: https://canary.discordapp.com/channels/203512636556574720/551236268004999168/551239621598773249
Pinging is just something to get someone's attention. Just @theirname
ah ok, i thought icmp packet
thanx
sure, i went firewall> entrace/enter in/input rules, then searched for all Foxhole firewall rules (found 4) opened then >advanced> border routing then i switched to "agree all border routing" then i went in top off window "
"specify the profiles to which this rule applies" then i marked "domain" box with the other 2 boxes "public" and "private"
it worked.
was that in a guide or did you just figure that out? if its new info we should document it
oh nice
i should review that, i wonder if ive missed helping someone via the firewall...
he must have clicked no to public networks when it originally popped up
Hi. I can't connect the game. getting the lost connection to server error. Files verified. Restarted steam. Firewall not active.
Tried everything in this list? https://canary.discordapp.com/channels/203512636556574720/551236268004999168/551239621598773249
thanks im gonna try a restart I can hear everybody but cant talk and not familiar with discord I set it up
Alright. So you can't hear anyone in-game @vague seal?
OH
You just can't talk
Try restarting steam, if that doesn't work say something here.
So we got the official list im buying tomorrow am
...
.5 upload and 5-8 down
Where the fuck do you live
AT&T Uverse
@gritty token looked at it
Mhm
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Ch4v9J Here's the list, unless @gritty token @blissful sequoia or @inner basin wants to change anything more.
i can hear everybody just cant communicate
yes just restarted everything
i will always want to make more changes, but moorep just keeps coming in asking if the list is done lol
i think we've been waiting for @narrow escarp thoughts on it
its a nice looking parts list, i like everything about it except the windows license hehe
holy crap @sly mortar video card upgrade?
also i like the disks in that arrangement better, thats nice...
Let me see
the video card is more expensive now for sure than the last build spec i saw
Nope
oh you might have been linking me an old one then?
before i asked about a 2070, you had a 1070 on there
i hadnt seen the 1080 ti on the list before
i like that we arent debating over magnetic drives anymore, so thats nice
all the parts look pretty choice
What, you don't want to go back to arguing that 4TB isn't enough storage space?
yea 4 is enough for him
i said 2x because i mirror everything, which he doesnt really need to do with ssd
the z-write hole
also, soft raid is the DEVIL
Correct
software mirror is ok, hardware raid is terrible, but softraid is the worst possible
I lost 6TB to soft raid
Eh, none of it was important
no its never ... important, but its often costly to replace stuff
Nah
It was backed up

i think about my work computer, if i erased the OS and lost no important data, it would still take me a week to repair the software stack, ya know?
I don't want to think about how much time it would take me to fix that...
i have to do it like once every other year, its awful
anyway, i love how ssd doesnt seem to just fail 1->0
you get some warning, and i dont have the same deep fears about it i do with magnetic
but omg raid. never again. just use windows raid-0 support (which is really not raid, its software) or mdadm or zfs
ya know?
software volume management is king now
Yep
Especially with 2TB SSDs and such coming out now as m.2s
And like, 8 TB Sata SSDs becoming relatively common for high end storage
im finally seeing nvme -> usb 3.1 adapters now
so you can have a flash drive running with that samsung evo if you want hehe
Not worth it
Cuts down on so much of the transfer
Or well, does it anymore?
3.1 is 20gb/s
Right?
not sure
i believe you if you say so
I think 3.0 is 10, 3.1 is 20, and 3.2 is 40
they just made 3.2, not widely known, barely on anything
i would expect SOME loss, but its better than a sata interface, and its crazy faster than any stupid flash thumb drive you can buy on the open market
I mean, if you're transferring that much data you should just load it internally and then pull the drive
do you remember off the top of your head what the max read throughput on that evo 970 is?
but i think of it as being useful as an OS drive (usb)
Read or write?
portable comptuer
3200mb/s I think
wow
so yes.
i might get one of those evos and replace my current m.2
i dunno wtf i bought haha
Samsung is so far ahead speed wise it really isn't funny
i used to LOVE samsung hard drives about 10 years ago
They may as well have a monopoly, and every year they're getting faster.
Their Sata drives are shit
i think their drives had 1 less platter than the rest but they had more data
Fucking Intel Sata drives are better
those drives lasted forever, i was a big fan...
Lol
Wait
@narrow escarp Here it is. https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Icanari/saved/YzZgwP (just to make sure you have the right one)
i cant believe how eager you are to buy!
im trigger shy
did anyone check compatibility of the ram?
Runs on my board, but I had some problems with it
but when that power supply reaches 50% load the fan comes on
but its a quiet fanm
"quiet"
i bet its very quiet
It isn't
i bought a 1200W power supply for that last machine i made
platinum rated, never held such a thing in my life
Eh, it's a $7 difference between 650 and 750
it was HUGE
oh yea do it then, bigger power supply is better
they dont make 1200W in gold lol
only plat+
i probably mentioned it before, its a gpu compute rig, it's got 4 of those 1080 tis in it
there were only 2 power supplies to pick from, ended up being like $300
i posted the motherboard i used for it here
yes. hero
Possible problem
that board does not get a lot of newegg eggs...
it says its a z390 chipset
you might be lookin in the wrong section?
90MB0XR0-M0EAY0 is the model i think
Yeah
It's there
G.Skill doesn't put model numbers on their compat lists
FOR SOME FUCKING REASON
well ... g skill hehe
are they a good brand? ive had about 50/50 luck with them
I've had good luck
Had one problem with a set of RAM being non-compatible, but compatible on the website, but they fixed it within a week
Their customer service is really good from what I can tell
We could always switch to Corsair RAM or something
when i was a kid i would just buy whatever the value ram was, i had no idea about compatibility
Haha
it mostly worked...
Mhm
no im not worried
Fucking ECC
if you say the chipset is good if you say the ram is good i trust you
why isn't ECC more common for fucks sake
and if its on the compatibility list im fairly certain there wont be problems
i agree
It should be the only type of ram
Like, why doesn't RAM check itself for errors
why
heres the kicker tho icanari
the desktop/workstation grade motherboards in the past used to be so unreliable in themselves the ram improvement wasnt worth it
the ones that worked with ECC
Yeah...
now all the processors work with ECC and half the motherboards
But NOT the fucking RAM
my last gaming rig was a supermicro board, with a full ipmi and everything, ecc, it was basically just a server
and it still crashed often
what a disappointment...
dells are =\ i hate to say it
because i hate dell
but that shit is rock solid
next gaming rig is gonna be a dell server i think ahha
supermicro motherboards are all about 3/5 stars honestly
nvidia is bringing rtx (ray tracing) support to the 1080 gtx line in the april drivers
sweet...
good reason to buy a 1080 instead of a 1070
@lethal scarab all thumbs up from me 👍
@sly mortar @blissful sequoia know a shit load more about computers than I do...
@sly mortar @blissful sequoia I hadnt allowed foxhole in firewall only, i have opened the rule properties then Herring info advanced and allowing the router border
ECC RAM are more to stability than speed alone... and it cost more
GTX series GPU are more to speed but not quite stable...
Supermicro mobo are not suitable to be long run servers unless u can put it in 24/7 in air-con blowing directly....
anything with server intention PC, the price is expected to be 200% - 300% more than just for gaming....
lol hungry responds to the last 48 hours of conversation
is herring a router brand?
@narrow escarp Here's to hoping they don't get lost in transit, or even worse: DOI
You guys ordering parts now?
easy to return stuff
Asus ROG MAXIMUS XI HERO (WI-FI) LGA1151/ Intel Z390/ DDR4/ Quad-GPU CrossFireX & Quad-GPU SLI/ SATA3&USB3.1/ M.2/ WiFi/ A&GbE/ ATX Motherboard
Out of stock
O no!
EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti FTW3 GAMING, 11G-P4-6696-KR, 11GB GDDR5X, iCX Technology - 9 Thermal Sensors & RGB LED G/P/M
@inner basin
halp lol is this stuff on Amazon bc I don't want to buy the wrong thing
@sly mortar @blissful sequoia
yes it is
we'd better let icanari match it up, im not great at identifying video cards right
can probably find the mobo tho...
wow that video card ... hmm
might be out of stock most places
thats how you know its a good price/performance lol
concerning replenishment on that card is unconfirmed on newegg
i.e. they might not get more
:bites bullet:
used?
i like used cards, but thats a high price for used
i got something similar used for $600 (i say similar but icanari will tell me how far off i am lol)
$900 refurbished ... i think maybe there was never any of those cards in stock at that price on the list
so it seems like you could buy the rest of the parts if you wanted to; i dont believe the video card will change anything else (the power supply is already big enough)
but yea we need somebody better with video cards on this one
i hope not
i must admit ive never owned my own computer that valuable, only work stuff
well I'll be using it to generate content definitely going to cite you all on any vids I make
i guess i own that stuff but i dont get to use it for fun
😃 thanks for everything
lets wait for it to work for the payoff lol
all the cryptocurrency miners (or whatever) are starting to sell their cards used on ebay/newegg lately
so theres a lot of cards on the market with highway miles
Problem is right now @narrow escarp @blissful sequoia, NVIDIA has stopped producing their 10 series of cards
and 0 in stockpile
Yeah.
They stopped producing 10 series before the 20s even announced.
:/ Fingers crossed
hmm
there are some aorus 1080s for like ... 550 on ebay
they dont sell well because nobody who does compute wants them - their fans take up 3 pci-e slots
but theyre overclocked
They were a bit at the start, but once it got a bit slower they were worse than stuff like old 750 TIs
these things are available very cheap
theres a lot of extreme editions for ~550
i didnt know why they were so cheap but again, its because theyre oversized
i think moorep bought the $850 used one, any sense if those aorus' compare, icanari?
Well, would you prefer to have your PC sound like a jet engine or not?
im not sure if theyre very loud
but i cant imagine its worse than any typical stock fan
I had an old Aorus.. 750 TI I think it was...
holy shit
you could hear it 3 rooms away
but the money you save can just ... buy nice cooling for it or whatever
power -> heat -> fan noise
anyway, does it compare to the card on his list? if hes already buying used...
Their cooling is generally less efficient than EVGAs
And EVGA's overclocking is generally slightly better
but its half the price
im getting the sense its comparable and not like a totally different class?
Uh... That's ebay...
same from newegg
And there's 4 days left...
it was just an example,
not for moorep
Up to moorep
just like if somebody didnt want to spend 1000 on a evga 1080 refurb
his order is already placed
Mhm
i posted a card the other day and you told it me it wasnt comparable and i was surprised
so now im doubting being able to identify video card
like there might be 3 extra letters that indicates the card is woefully underpowered or something
Yeah.
I mainly choose EVGA because I've always had a great experience with their card and overclocking, and I've had some... less than great.. experiences with other manufacturers... looking at you Gigabyte and Corsair
my worst experience was with asus - if i might
i bought my nephew a 1050, it died in a month so i RMA, they sent me back a 760 because they cant acquire another 1050 - it breaks in a month, i RMA it, they send me back a 670 gtx
well it was a $100 video card to start with
im pretty sure the filing fees in court are more than that
Yeah... but precedent...
i kept getting downgraded in generation, losing features, but the power was pretty equiv
i finally bought him a new 1050 and i kept the 670 and here i am
Lol
i cant blame them exactly - i guess they couldnt find any more replacement cards - it was about 2 years ago in the midst of the video card crisis
Then they're supposed to send you back your old one...
even broken?
my assumption is nobody is fixing these things, they just junk it grab a new board
solder a new capacitor maybe? at most...
anyone else get frame drops when using weapons?
What do you mean?
like I went from 40 or 50 running to 10 or 15 when I threw a grenade/fired a rifle
Try turning graphics settings down
it's at low already and 720p
yea the graphics settings can be adjusted to a very wide range
Alright
What's your processor / GPU?
If you need to find it, you can type dxdiag into your windows search, and it will bring up all of that data.
i5 8250u, integrated 620 (ouch)
correct
Are you plugged in?
theres lots of people who play with the intel graphics here i think
yea its higher than my laptop which does ok
yes, always plugged in, battery settings on high performance
Alright
could it be sound related? hmm
Doubt it
and throttling disabled as well as tubo boost
why does it happen when he fires
when I fire
So as the bullet leaves your gun?
yeah I dunno, saw that post scriptum has audio issues that drop frames
yeah, I think so... not at my PC at the moment
could it be his left click? maybe its mapped
Wait
or both clicks at once?
oooh
try it without a gun
I think I know.. maybe.
@coral raven Have you ever tried modifying your controls in the settings menu?
nope
Mhm. Probably not what I was thinking then.
does fist do it? does hammer do it? only guns + grenades?
Once you get back to your computer, go to settings, and make sure that "take screenshot" (in-game settings) is not set to LMB.
hammer is fine, not sure about fists
Alright
oh
That's just a precaution
I'll check that out
It's probably not correct, but worth checking.
please try with pistol - im curious if looking long range does it or not
Other things you could do... try muting yourself, if you're currently on fullscreen, try windowed.
pistol has short range so its a decent test
Hmm
Then next time you're playing, open task manager to your CPU page, and see what the usage is when you fire.
particle effects? maybe thats the cause
sorry to interrupt your guys' brainstorming but I'm gonna head off and check this out tomorrow
You're good.
might be a video driver thing, thats my best guess at this moment
so see if you can update your video drivers tomorrow shrug
ok so if i care about noise this aorus is going to be ... an issue, unless...
It might have changed by now
well my assumption was theyre so cheap because of the size, compute folks cant use em, but if its noise... that would explain why gamers arent snapping them all up
Their heat sinks are massive though
You'll need a CPU support for them
My old one feels like picking up a brick.
yea i would replace the fan
You'd need to replace the whole cooler.
yea
The amount of heat sink they have on those would break most motherboards.
yea i actually ordered some and returned them because of the size, but yea i held one
it was pretty large
SERVER DIED
hey guys, at some reason i cant connent to server
i buyed game just yesterday and still cant join to server
can somebody help me?
what message are you getting?
cant connect to server
also my profile fully empty, which i can saw in main menu
just keep trying to log in
it just happens sometimes
but i tryed enought
and several game restarts
need to wait for someone with more technical expertise to come on
can you call somebody?
@terse flume try looking at #technical-read-first⚠
okay
i just try to restart router, disable AV and check game files, the remaining steps are clearly unnecessary for me
still not working :C
@proud dagger I set your AFK: busy work
@terse flume what is the issue
did you check read first channel?
Did you verified files? @terse flume
did you check read first channel?
nope, but will do it now
Did you verified files?
@terse flume yeah
Ok hold up
@terse flume The shard info is showing, you can see it at the top left

@inner basin cmn bro, i did it, read upper
Have you tried changing your DNS?
DNS are good, couse my firewall detected connections to foxhole server
guys, i found a problem
looks like my AV blocked Foxhole before and marked as "launch in sanbox"
but my AV have several modules, this is why disabling virus protection module not sollute this.
Disable the whole thing then 😁
which AV u use
@terse flume
and try disabling the whole thing as suggested by blade
i already decided problem, thanks
COMODO
😄
nevermind then
happy foxholing
hey
i have a problem
i want to ride in one tank with my friend but i cant
how can i fix it?
Each side of the tank corresponds to a position within that tank
For example, in my profile picture, the back side corresponds to the commander's hatch I think
@rose shell
<@&521124241395941396> I have been struggling with my brother to download him foxhole, but his download speed is 11.7 kb/s to 82 kb/s. Everything I knew that should fix it, it just didn't worked. Do you have any other ideas how to help him out? He already checked the firewall, added exception in antivirus, we got fiber optic, so internet speed is great, also tried to clear download cache and checked the dowbload region to be Romania. Nothing seems to work, he still needs to wait 23 hrs xD.
Is he connected by Ethernet?
Sounds like throttling TBH
Do the following:
- Restart Steam
- Reconnect your ethernet 😄
I can't believe I forfot to tell him to do that xDDD
Okay I will tell him to try it out
its a steam server issue
<@&521124241395941396> I have this issue when i first start playing after i launch where i freeze every few seconds but after about 15 min its fine then about another 45 my game crashes. I have validated game files and reinstalled. Anyone know about this issue ?
the issue is most likely bad pc lol
If you don't know something, why respond? lol
check how the proccess behaves on ctrl alt delete
@dense sand Mind telling the specs of your PC?
So i could give some advise, idk what is csusing the issue but i can guess
also, you should have crash reports
Also try playing on Windowed Mode, who knows ¯_(ツ)_/¯
i think ram issues
uhhh
regarding my issue, did not worked. Same problem.
harvest
@dense sand go through and check files, i seen a dude before miss not installing like a 28 mb file
try downloading any other game
Msi B350
16gb
1060 6gb
ryzen 5 2600x
can u send 1 of the crash reports
let me find one
found in username/appdata/local/foxhole/saved/crashes
username being your windows username
@terse flume the problem persists on other games, too
Which part do u want ?
oh, he just told me that it did worked well with some games, but with foxhole and Age of Empires 2 it had a problem
No @dense sand When it crashes, do you get a crash message?
you might want to update directx?
Your game has crashed
also i thought u can read up something from the crash log
thats all it says
bHideLogFilesOption=false
bIsAllowedToCloseWithoutSending=true
CrashConfigPurgeDays=2
but i think if you send the crashlogs to krazy he might pass it on to some1 that knows what's happening?
@lapis steppe did he restart his computer? restart the router?
no no
thats what my last log says
@inner basin yes, he did
@lapis steppe Go into Steam's download folder, and delete everything that won't solve speed issues lol
i opened it
@inner basin and he downloaded crossout just fine some days ago, and today he downloaded Dungeon Rats and it worked and in the mean time, in these couple of days he tried to download AoE2 and didn't worked and also he tried foxhole today, after he downloaded Dungeon Rats
uhh have you restarted the router though?
@plucky bluff anything specific you need from it ?
i have it
It's so weird because you two are using the same router but you are fine Harvester
@inner basin he is doing it right now
@plucky bluff That XML file doesn't seem to have anything in it
The CrashMessage parameter is empty
derp help us
maybe your brother's steam thinks another game is running and wont download?
theres an option for that in steam, right?
which AV u he uses
but alternatively, maybe file permissions problem, in which case restart pc, restart steam, uninstall foxhole, exit steam, delete the foxhole directories, reinstall
becoz some AV mess steam servers
yeah i've been trying to find anything about pcallstack but nope lol
he says other games download on steam fine
hmm, @blissful sequoia that might be a fix, hold on a sec, I will tell him
oh nvm
windows 8 wtf
@lapis steppe there are 2 important directories to delete for a clean foxhole reinstall - they are listed in the pinned message about reinstalling
derp he is having issues with other games too
[12:24 PM] [501st] Harvester.: @BladeRikWr and he downloaded crossout just fine some days ago, and today he downloaded Dungeon Rats and it worked and in the mean time
some worked, other don's
ah
Oh i see that when i reinstalled foxhole i didnt delete the other part
so basically there's something with your nvwgf2umx.dll @dense sand
Whats that ?
my guess is steam was run as administrator at some point and created files or made directories as admin
so, basically crossout and Dungeon Rats worked, while AoE2 and foxhole didn't
Run Steam as Admin and try downloading again
well then youll be stuck using admin for steam all the time...
my assumption is that steam hosts all downloads from the same servers
so the only difference is where its being downloaded to, which directory - thats my thinking
@dense sand ok so:
- Update nvidia drivers
- Use CC cleaner to fix up nvidia registry(writing was bad couldn't understand it)
and this may be a temporary solution
so, if anybody has this issue and they are using ethernet, restarting router actually fixes it without any other things. I've kept asking cause I thought he tried that, but in the end, he didn't, lol. Okay, thank you everybody, I was running out of ideas xD
ok so i need to go use cc cleaner then because i updated the driver yesterday
ill let you know if it works or not
oh another thought - one of the files might have a pattern that triggers an antivirus - so maybe anti virus, im sure people might have brought that up
anyone not just using microsoft security essentials on windows these days is perhaps getting a little too exotic for their own benefit
@dense sand if you have latest drivers and it's still a problem, apparenty the soultion is rolling back nvidia driver to 352.86 version.
god thats an OLD driver
unless .. you need the audio out of your monitor
https://answers.ea.com/t5/Battlefield-4/failure-nvwgf2umx-dll/td-p/3377169/page/4 used this thread, it mentions the same file
either way windows is going to install an audio driver lol
Well im testing it now
@inner basin the solution to crashing problem was that crash logs contain the name of the .dll file that failed, just google that file and look for the problems. for the nvwgf2umx.dll solution is rolling nvidia driver back to 352.86 version and not selecting geforce expierience and hd audio driver
at least i guess
i don't see anything beside kernel32 on his crash log
crash log?
how do i roll it back ?
oh sh
doesn't support 1060
you're in unluck
if it's not compatible
but i guess download 960x
the new driver ? or the one you just sent
the one i just sent
ok
you can roll back to a different driver if you want, one not as old
perhaps something in the 3.9x range
3.85 maybe
yeah that's the "latest that didn't do the problem"
ive got more questions for you @dense sand
does other people firing guns drop frames for you? if someone else throws a smoke grenade for example?
No
Once I stay in for about 15 min the small feezes stop then everything works fine till the game decides to crash about 40 min later
Could you support me with a link to an older driver?
it's googable
he has a1060 why u all r suggesting older drivers
cuz those help
what about other games then
My other games are just fine
@dense sand whats the video card again?
1060
Msi gtx 1060 6gb
oh jeez i was thinking this was like a laptop
ham
Yes?
jeez i wouldnt think old drivers are the fix for a 1060
first reinstall ur drivers
The VC drivers ?
id try the newest drivers first, before going to old ones: https://www.nvidia.com/Download/driverResults.aspx/144363/en-us
hope that comes up right...
The do video card drivers ? Everything else in under maintenance drivers
do that before u go back to older drivers
newest ones are 419.35
he said he updated ysterday
My game worked fine 3 days ago
@dense sand where did you update from? nvidia site or windows updates?
where does one find the driver version? i just want to confirm its 419.35
@blissful sequoia if you go on device manager and select your gpu you can see the driver version
@dense sand can you just check that real quick?
you just gotta snipe it
like try one from 1 month
The current driver is 419.35
ok so ... game worked fine, but now you load it, when you fire or throw grenades it lags hmm...
i dont think there was a graphics patch 2-3 days ago ... hmmm
it honestly sounds like another program running in the background - but i cannot explain the crash 40 minutes later
is ur video card fan working
yea was wondering that too - maybe heat is the cause of the crash
@blissful sequoia you're great at leading people off track
hmm well thats your prob
i arleady found the issue
@plucky bluff i was heading that direction, i wanted to rule out the video card drivers
Don't they start running when they are needed to?
it's with nvwgf2umx.dll
that was a crash context, not a crash reason
Cause I have alot of fan cooling the whole case
there's no crash reason
@dense sand no video card fans run all the time
bcs devs great at doing crash log system lol
The fans are running now
was there a wire stuck in them? what made them start running
maybe the fans are shot and when they spin down to 20% they seize up
I launched a game
video card fans are very easy to replace...
ok so you need to grab a temperature monitoring kit, fan speed monitor
i recommend https://openhardwaremonitor.org/
it will allow you to manually set the VGA fan to 100% for example
lagging behavior and driver crashes is very consistent with heat problems
Oh I think my game is fixed
lol while the fans turn yea
I don't think that's the issue because then I would have the same issue in other games
im willing to bet you might
in the last couple days
especially if they like to peg the graphics card at 100% like foxhole does hehe
maybe thats just my card...
anyway you should monitor the temperature and fan speed, if youre seeing like 95C+ on the video card, it might be overheating
really that was the fix?
theres no fix yet
i guess
it just started working lol
makes me think it will just stop working again too
like seriously if you opened up your computer and the video card fans werent turning you would be concerned, right?
windows is using 3d accell, so its not like the video card is under 0 strain when not playing games
overheating burned ma motherboard
Yeah but I'm pretty sure the 1060 has the smart feature
:(
I have some other fans and my case itself inside is really cool
seems pretty hot, i dont like my video card over 60
ok so fan spinning, probably not the issue, but check temperature at least once to make sure its not that
random fixing is lame, super unsatisfying
I'm in the process of that
thats pretty great, 1060 must be pretty damn quiet most of the time...
It is
well my 1060maxq burned my motherboard
Idk never seen a 1080 in person
made me cost 150
well i shit my pants
i have a dell G7 idk what board
I'm still in have so my part time job doesn't pay well
Hs
My card is running at 49c
ok heat is fine then
thats very cool
so what did you change since yesterday, when it wasnt working?
I just updated my driver
But you were right my game is freezing again
Oh and now it stopped
I'm confused
try lowering the graphics
yea me too, doesnt it seem like something is building up and then crashing?
I did that too
is foxhole using a ton of memory before it crashes? or is it constantly growing?
My membership usage sits around 47 percent while in game
do u get a stopped running message or it just closes
It closes then says fatal error when it happens
and youve already done the full reinstall of foxhole, Hambino?
Not properly I found out that I need to delete other files after I delete from steam so I'll give that a shot
I can't screenshot it till it crashes
yea ... we've had a few cases where people get spontaenous corrupt game data
is that even possible on windows 10?
no
but u can cheat it
every game folder has two dll files
@dense sand
this is for banished but it will work for foxhole too
Got some weird voice chat bug with no error in chat box. Whenever I join an op, the voice chat works for a few seconds then goes out. If I use my op chat or local voice it stops me from hearing others in the op immediately. Any fix?
Also restarted my game and reconnected and all that
@torn ravine check #technical-read-first⚠
@proud dagger figured it was a common issue. The only fix I've found other than maybe deleting and verifying is when I cross a map border with my opchat push to talk held
yup
uhh who else had this problem recently...
it was blake, he said "Blake: I have, works fine with a pair of normal headphones and actually when I disable the mic portion of the bt headphones it works fine, it’s when I enable the mic everything shuts down audio wise."
when he swapped out his mic, it was working
"Blake: They work fine on everything except foxhole, even in foxhole they work until 4 seconds in then everything goes silent."
@proud dagger I ran through the post you linked me and it didn't work
hmm gives me an idea
it could be network related - antivirus or firewall, particularly the firewall
it could be disconnecting the connection after a few seconds
the voice connection is a separate network connection from the game's connection to server
happened when i was talking in op voice just before crossing a map border
yea it changes voice servers i think when you change maps
although ... op chat shouldnt...
i dunno maybe it reconnects. MrStevie, have you tried the reconnect button in foxhole settings for voice?
Yeah
it disconnects after that?
Ok so
I just noticed when I join the map I was on after restarting my game, I see the Operations box still up on the right that lists "Recent voice" however I'm not in the op when I rejoin the game
And I just tried switching my devices over to a different one before restarting
@torn ravine the recent voice is just there
if u are not in any operations there'll be nothing in it
So its always there?
I never noticed
So yeah no fix other than crossing map border which only works for about a minute
so yea try another mic, try turning off firewalls
so far youre only the second person to report this problem in here
but it seems like it could be a foxhole bug
Tried both 😦 wouldn't be so bad if i wasn't in a relic vehicle
@proud dagger you know it only happens in Umbral Wildwood in particular it seems
4darkling4 is AFK: doing work - 13 minutes ago
Yep just crossed multiple borders and its only occurring in that region
uhm i suppose it could be the DNS fix then thats in the pinned messages?
or maybe that server is just borked
server could be screw up just for my client. Never had this issue and ran ops through here many times since yesterday and today
Is the issue resolved
Negative
hey Stevie its a slow connection issue
try vivox thing
- Close Steam and Foxhole
- Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Foxhole\War\Plugins\VivoxCoreUE4Plugin\Source\ThirdParty (or wherever Foxhole is installed - read here.)
- Delete VivoxCoreLibrary
- Reopen Steam, and verify the game files.
- Restart your computer.

@torn ravine
My friend and i were doing a supply run from Farranac Coast to Oarbreaker Isles and we spawned in on top of an island and are now stranded and can't move, pls help
send a message to @coarse trail
We've got help now 😂 our saviour is here
wow that was fast
So I cant hear voice chat but I can hear everything elase my game does not show that any one is even speeking
do you see any error messages related to voice when you enter a region?
has voice chat ever worked for you before, @sterile hornet?
after last server update deadlands there are new fences everywhere also on gates - good job
hey my friend cant launch the game
he gets a black screen and it just stays like that
@rain jewel -> #technical-read-first⚠
yh there was no luck w/ that
<@&521124241395941396> ^
- Go to C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Local\Foxhole\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor
- Open GameUserSettings.ini
- Set PreferredFullscreenMode=0 from whatever it is currently at
- Save the file
- Restart the game
@rain jewel
He already did that, sadly it didnt help
Specs
yes
any way possible to try n get it in windows
*windowed
alt enter and then the text file thing
Try one more thing
So to steam foxhole properties then general and select launch options
Add -window
Try deleting the game setting ini file
- Go to C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Local\Foxhole\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor
2.GameUserSettings.ini delete this file
Relaunch the game then
didnt work again
I take it all other games run without problems?
yes sir
Also, did the above attempts fail to launch in windowed or does windowed not solve it?
the game launches but remains in a black screen
Normally this is caused by wrong resolution settings. To confirm. He CAN run in windowed and the windowed game still has a black screen?
yup
i have no idea what to make of that tbh
Most pc's have two ways of running graphics. Your Graphics card, the 1050 Ti. And your motherboard. Which has a weak graphics card.
It is capable of running windows, but can't handle a full on game. Though this wouldn't explain how he can run other games normally. So i'd rule this out as a possible cause.
Could you try going to the 'GameUserSettings.ini' file again and change the resolution settings?
Normally deleting this file like you already did should solve this issue. A black screen on start on this game only is nearly always a resolution problem. So changing the resolution to a low setting should allow you to run the game normally and edit it again there.
What you could still try: Run the game in compatibility settings for a different windows.
Right click the War.exe file and go to properties.
