Compatibility. And set it to windows 8.

sterile hornet Mar 22, 2019, 3:30 PM

#

@blissful sequoia it used to when I join and no I don’t see any errors at all

blissful sequoia Mar 22, 2019, 4:40 PM

#

i think if you get into windowed mode you can adjust resolution and go back to fullscreen from there

#

@sterile hornet there is a reconnect voice button, you might try that. Make sure you've set the right voice device in the sound settings for Foxhole; adjust any volumes needed there. If that fails perhaps try the pinned message related to wiping/resetting vivox files, and it may be worth trying the software voicemeeter to redirect the audio through it - that has solved several peoples mic probs

#

it seems like vivox or foxhole has trouble with some particular mics, but when rerouted through a virtual audio device can make it compatible...

blissful sequoia Mar 22, 2019, 5:45 PM

#

@muted mango disable firewall and antivirus until you identify which is blocking it

regal scaffold Mar 22, 2019, 8:22 PM

#

May also just have to forward the ports

#

i) Add Foxhole to your exclusions list ii) Unblock Foxhole from your firewall iii) Unblock port 443 from your Firewall iv) Verify Integrity of Game Files

v) AT YOUR OWN RISK
If the above steps don’t work, you can try disabling your firewall temporarily, reinstall Foxhole, then re-enable your antivirus.

#

hope this helps a little bit

yo ive had the game for ages and decided today to pick it back up and when i joined in, it was lagging horrifically. i dont remember this happenening before, and my computer can certainly hanndle the game. i have turned my settings down and tried everything else i know to do and thought i would try here for help

blissful sequoia Mar 22, 2019, 10:01 PM

#

have you reinstalled it cleanly? check the pinned messages

#

theres a couple folders worth deleting for a proper reinstall

#

but is your lag graphical or network related? because everybody feels network lag now, the servers are overloaded

regal scaffold Mar 22, 2019, 10:39 PM

#

^^ Truth to servers overloading with the recent "influx" of players

brave sand Mar 22, 2019, 11:09 PM

#

its graphical

blissful sequoia Mar 22, 2019, 11:14 PM

#

ok so try the reinstall then with the clean directories

#

there might be old settings or assets causing you problems

regal scaffold Mar 23, 2019, 12:13 AM

#

also make sure graphic drivers are up to date

terse flume Mar 23, 2019, 1:46 AM

#

hi guys, when i start the game all the players and bulidings are setting on a pitchblack surface, I don't knomw whether it's the model or texture for the ground that isn't showing up. is this a known issue?

blissful sequoia Mar 23, 2019, 2:28 AM

#

i have never heard of it before; did you just install the game, @terse flume?

#

that sounds like corrupt asset files (reinstall) or bad video drivers (update drivers) to me

terse flume Mar 23, 2019, 2:36 AM

#

i did just install, will try updating

blissful sequoia Mar 23, 2019, 2:40 AM

#

yea try the drivers

main sleet Mar 23, 2019, 4:23 AM

#

Does anyone have any idea why I get major lag spikes ONLY when moving the camera in game?

blissful sequoia Mar 23, 2019, 8:03 AM

#

make sure you havent mapped that same mouse button to another function

#

you can test with the , and . key to turn camera without the mouse

#

if it does not lag when you use . and , then it means you have a key mapping problem on middle click

where can i report a guy? boucuse he destroy my tank and then he quit so i cant report him

inner basin Mar 23, 2019, 12:52 PM

#

@rose shell Kind of late, but you can see people who have recently logged off in the F1 screen, all the way down at the bottom of the player list. You can still report them using votekicks, but I recommend DM'ing @coarse trail with your report, if you got the guy's name

hey guys i have problem when i play foxhole i can't connect to voice chat and i said voice chat error every time i try to reconnect anybody know how can i fix this?

blissful sequoia Mar 23, 2019, 5:33 PM

#

@undone basin check the pinned messages, there are several issues/fixes related to vivox

raw talon Mar 23, 2019, 5:35 PM

#

Open the menu go to voice and click boath re coneckt voice options

blissful sequoia Mar 23, 2019, 5:48 PM

#

most likely issue is the DNS server

undone basin Mar 24, 2019, 6:53 AM

#

i already try all of it but it didn't work

terse flume Mar 24, 2019, 1:21 PM

#

Did u try the DNS

#

@undone basin

#

oops

#

Try deleting the vivox files after exiting steam

#

Then restart stem do verify of files

#

If the issue persists try restarting game a ton of times

#

I had this problem for a whole month

#

Then got resolved automatically

#

But the DNS thing helps

#

And which type of connection u have

#

Like u use wifi or a broadband

#

Or mobile

#

Tethering

undone basin Mar 24, 2019, 3:56 PM

i think i already change the DNS

Voice chat Error [2] 2-5008 followed by Error [8] 6-0

#

Is this a DNS issue?

blissful sequoia Mar 25, 2019, 5:45 AM

#

we don't know for sure - evidently it isn't documented for us, but we think it's network related, so DNS or simply cant connect to that IP

#

which could be caused by a bad route/ISP, or a misconfigured router

#

changing DNS is a very easy test, but I don't think we have a clear story where somebody had the [8] 6-0 error and figured out a solution - I am looking back through logs

sly mortar Mar 25, 2019, 5:46 AM

#

2, 2-5008. 6, 6-0...

#

Let me see

blissful sequoia Mar 25, 2019, 5:46 AM

#

icanari what time zone are you in?

#

god im happy to see you here lol

sly mortar Mar 25, 2019, 5:47 AM

#

PST

blissful sequoia Mar 25, 2019, 5:47 AM

#

oh me too

sly mortar Mar 25, 2019, 5:47 AM

#

First is a Login error

#

Second is a...Connection "error"?

blissful sequoia Mar 25, 2019, 5:47 AM

#

super vague. I assume they chain together, like an exception call stack

#

so 8 is like the login method, which calls a tcp connect method and that throws the 6

#

i would pay $20 to see those specific lines of code

sly mortar Mar 25, 2019, 5:48 AM

#

Wait

#

It's 8 not 6

#

One second

#

That's a push to talk error

blissful sequoia Mar 25, 2019, 5:49 AM

#

you and i have had this conversation before, and im having the same reaction i did then; wtf does THAT mean

#

brainstorming: push-to-talk key not mapped; microphone problems (voicemeeter solution); not actually p-t-t error but mislabeled documentation?

sly mortar Mar 25, 2019, 5:50 AM

#

Let me go check some stuff...

#

2-5008...

#

FUCK

blissful sequoia Mar 25, 2019, 5:51 AM

#

thats interesting, ive never seen anyone say there was another error message with the 8 6 0 one

sly mortar Mar 25, 2019, 5:51 AM

#

That's relatively common

#

Fucking hell

#

My documentation only covers the first number

blissful sequoia Mar 25, 2019, 5:52 AM

#

is this the doc from the devs given to them by vivox?

sly mortar Mar 25, 2019, 5:52 AM

#

Dunno

blissful sequoia Mar 25, 2019, 5:52 AM

#

whered you get it

sly mortar Mar 25, 2019, 5:52 AM

#

Can't remember where I got my documentation

#

Let me find it

blissful sequoia Mar 25, 2019, 5:52 AM

#

oh boy a deus machina solution i dont like it

sly mortar Mar 25, 2019, 5:52 AM

#

It's somewhere in this discord

#

Okay

#

Found it

#

It's from Mark

#

but I can't post it, sorry...

blissful sequoia Mar 25, 2019, 5:53 AM

#

sigh

#

i doubt i would see anything you wouldnt

sly mortar Mar 25, 2019, 5:53 AM

#

not my choice

#

It's less than... 200 words

#

And about 15 of them are important

blissful sequoia Mar 25, 2019, 5:54 AM

#

can you tell me, is it a 2 part error? or is it just 1 error code that looks weird?

sly mortar Mar 25, 2019, 5:54 AM

#

Here's what I can say I think

Structured like this [A] B-C

blissful sequoia Mar 25, 2019, 5:54 AM

#

can we infer [A] X Y is an error code in the [A] set?

#

or is there no such set?

sly mortar Mar 25, 2019, 5:54 AM

#

Yes

#

Kind

#

Of

#

Not really

blissful sequoia Mar 25, 2019, 5:55 AM

#

are they subcategories?

sly mortar Mar 25, 2019, 5:55 AM

#

Effectively

blissful sequoia Mar 25, 2019, 5:55 AM

#

so do we know the general category of a [2] error?

sly mortar Mar 25, 2019, 5:55 AM

#

'A' is the context in which the error occured

#

So a 2 error would be any error happening during a Login

blissful sequoia Mar 25, 2019, 5:55 AM

#

oh I thought 8 was a login error?

#

what is [8]?

sly mortar Mar 25, 2019, 5:55 AM

#

Push to Talk

blissful sequoia Mar 25, 2019, 5:56 AM

#

oh jeez so 6 is a subcategory of the push to talk problems

#

so we only know 2 is login related, theres nothing listed for a 5008?

#

what errors are listed under [2] for example. Maybe its noted as octal or hex or something silly

sly mortar Mar 25, 2019, 5:56 AM

#

Uh

#

My only possible answer

#

Yes

blissful sequoia Mar 25, 2019, 5:56 AM

#

or bit flags ORd together

sly mortar Mar 25, 2019, 5:57 AM

#

because there is no list

#

I literally have a list of A numbers, and that's it

blissful sequoia Mar 25, 2019, 5:57 AM

#

so all we have is [2] is login error

sly mortar Mar 25, 2019, 5:57 AM

#

Yes

blissful sequoia Mar 25, 2019, 5:57 AM

#

so it lists possible errors but does not explain them?

sly mortar Mar 25, 2019, 5:57 AM

#

No

#

It only lists context

blissful sequoia Mar 25, 2019, 5:57 AM

#

ok

sly mortar Mar 25, 2019, 5:58 AM

#

What's the error we're having the most often?

blissful sequoia Mar 25, 2019, 5:58 AM

#

[8] 6-0

#

thats the one that goes back weeks we have no answer for

sly mortar Mar 25, 2019, 5:58 AM

#

Alright

#

Second most common

#

My guess is [2] 2-5008

blissful sequoia Mar 25, 2019, 5:59 AM

#

this guy fury got [2] 2-5002 and also [2] 2-5045 with his [8] 6-0 3 months ago

#

i think the [8] 6-0 error is the result of the other error maybe?

#

obviously you cant push to talk if you cant login

sly mortar Mar 25, 2019, 5:59 AM

#

Yeah

#

[8] 6-0
[2] 2-5008
[2] 2-5002
[2] 2-5045
[2] 6-0 3

#

That look pretty comprehensive?

blissful sequoia Mar 25, 2019, 6:00 AM

#

yea

#

oh i see a 5031 in there too

sly mortar Mar 25, 2019, 6:01 AM

#

WAIT

#

Our list has long numbers

#

Oh my god yes

#

We are saved

#

@blissful sequoia DMing

blissful sequoia Mar 25, 2019, 6:03 AM

I'm debating, because im relatively lazy on a Sunday night - theres an approach where you open up the black box with netstat and dns tools

#

and theres the approach where you shake the box and listen for whats inside haha

@tardy ingot This is pretty rare problem here. Can you describe more?

blissful sequoia Mar 25, 2019, 8:58 PM

#

ok ok, heres a good test, can you play it in windowed mode instead of fullscreen?

dim salmon Mar 25, 2019, 8:58 PM

#

Probably these are drivers

tardy ingot Mar 25, 2019, 8:58 PM

dim salmon Mar 25, 2019, 8:59 PM

#

what if we call markfoot here

blissful sequoia Mar 25, 2019, 8:59 PM

#

uhh maybe we can change it in the settings file directly

tardy ingot Mar 25, 2019, 8:59 PM

#

i'll check if i can do that from an ini

blissful sequoia Mar 25, 2019, 9:00 PM

#

copypasta from icanari's pinned message:

If this is happening to you, there is currently one known solution, if that doesn't work, ask for more help.

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

#

that is where you can find the settings file, see if you can get it into windowed mode- this problem might be related to fullscreen possibly

#

or resolution...

blissful sequoia Mar 25, 2019, 10:43 PM

yea the whole envelope increases size

all the programs they use take more space, the games have higher texture detail and more videos, more geometry

data size fills the drive capacity like a goldfish grows to fit its aquarium

sly mortar Mar 25, 2019, 10:52 PM

#

No, not even close

#

Incremental backups, every 24 hours

#

Not even close to running out, because it only keeps 10 back ups at one time

#

And it keeps 3 on the cloud

blissful sequoia Mar 25, 2019, 10:53 PM

i think youre right tho, i live on 512gb on my desktop and its fine if youre a regular person who lives off the cloud

sly mortar Mar 25, 2019, 10:55 PM

#

You don't even need to live off the cloud

#

If I didn't have all of the games on my PC, I'd be hovering at around 300gb

#

And I don't use much cloud storage

blissful sequoia Mar 25, 2019, 10:57 PM

#

yea games are huge now

#

also people spend like 1000 dollars on a video card and they cant shell out for some storage? crazy

he has a solid point about home use but when i think of a business context, the cost of somebody deleting files and freeing up space is much higher than just buying new storage

It would seem other people can hear me

However, I cannot hear other people talking

Are ur speakers working

lapis dawn Mar 26, 2019, 7:02 AM

See if u can chat on it

blissful sequoia Mar 26, 2019, 7:47 AM

#

sounds like you dont have the right sound device selected for voice in the foxhole settings

#

like its pumping sound out of the wrong speakers or headset

#

also, unrelated, you have johnny utah on your team?! you know hes an FBI agent, right?!

terse flume Mar 26, 2019, 7:48 AM

@lapis dawn

Of windows

And select the top device as communication device

Right and set as default communication device

lapis dawn Mar 26, 2019, 7:50 AM

So my tv?

blissful sequoia Mar 26, 2019, 7:50 AM

lapis dawn Mar 26, 2019, 7:54 AM

Maybe, was messing around with the sound settings

blissful sequoia Mar 26, 2019, 7:54 AM

#

x.x

#

Yes I know

#

But this is bothering me

blissful sequoia Mar 26, 2019, 7:57 AM

#

wow thats a lot of options, ok so you probably know which one is the regular sound output, set as default

#

can do for default communications device and also default sound device

#

like you can select the same device as the default for both things

lapis dawn Mar 26, 2019, 7:57 AM

#

Yeah I did

blissful sequoia Mar 26, 2019, 7:58 AM

#

and i think chigga wanted you to open up the Recording tab and set the correct default there too

#

oh no he probably wanted the playback

#

the mic is fine, right?

lapis dawn Mar 26, 2019, 7:58 AM

#

Yes

blissful sequoia Mar 26, 2019, 7:59 AM

#

and the thing i wanted you to set was in foxhole, in the settings there is 2 drop-down select boxes for the voice output and voice input devices

#

they default from the windows settings I think

lapis dawn Mar 26, 2019, 8:00 AM

#

Right

blissful sequoia Mar 26, 2019, 8:01 AM

#

are those already set correctly?

terse flume Mar 26, 2019, 8:01 AM

#

So u tried defaulting the device

lapis dawn Mar 26, 2019, 8:05 AM

#

So I dont get playback

#

When I test the device in the settings

#

But now I have a different one

#

Damn this is confusing

#

FIXED IT

terse flume Mar 26, 2019, 8:09 AM

#

It's working I guess

lapis dawn Mar 26, 2019, 8:09 AM

#

📎 unknown.png

#

So my headset is the realtek digital output

#

But my headset uses the speakers just above

#

For playback

#

🤦

terse flume Mar 26, 2019, 8:10 AM

#

Make speaker as default communication device

#

Too

blissful sequoia Mar 26, 2019, 8:12 AM

#

yea the headset is just like a stereo pass-through im guessing

terse flume Mar 26, 2019, 8:12 AM

#

We don't know the headset are in sound card or directly in motherboard

#

He has a dedicated gaming sound card

blissful sequoia Mar 26, 2019, 8:13 AM

#

its using the onboard realtek

terse flume Mar 26, 2019, 8:13 AM

#

Sound blaster z

blissful sequoia Mar 26, 2019, 8:13 AM

#

uhh nothing is using it though

#

so the headset is plugged into wrong sound card, right?

terse flume Mar 26, 2019, 8:13 AM

#

It's too confusing

#

He was able to hear stuff before

#

So I think they are plugged onboard

blissful sequoia Mar 26, 2019, 8:14 AM

#

i would just disable the onboard one, myself, and yes i agree i think he has the headset plugged into the onboard one

#

but i am confused about the digital output part, isnt that like spdif?

#

oh it's just HDA ok

terse flume Mar 26, 2019, 8:17 AM

#

@lapis dawn

#

Any progress

lapis dawn Mar 26, 2019, 8:18 AM

But I think they cannot hear me now

terse flume Mar 26, 2019, 8:18 AM

Cool

#

😱

lapis dawn Mar 26, 2019, 8:18 AM

#

😱 indeed

blissful sequoia Mar 26, 2019, 8:18 AM

#

set the default communication device to be the same device in both tabs

#

copy the one that works lol

#

i guess you have to change the recording tab one

terse flume Mar 26, 2019, 8:20 AM

#

That's why I use a laptop too simple

#

😄

blissful sequoia Mar 26, 2019, 8:26 AM

you can also hide/disable the devices to avoid confusion, tape over the holes in the back...

Whenever I try to join the war, an error pops ups saying "Lost connection to the server, please try again" - I've already disabled Hyper V, and I've updated my graphics card to the latest release. It still dosen't work and now it's become kinda frustrating, I could use some help.

terse flume Mar 26, 2019, 9:13 AM

I usually get that when im downloading something in the background, cause my internet isnt the best

I just got the game like 45 minutes ago

terse flume Mar 26, 2019, 9:22 AM

Again and again

#

Oh

#

Or try changing DNS

#

It's a network issue

mental idol Mar 26, 2019, 9:24 AM

I'll give it a shot

terse flume Mar 26, 2019, 9:25 AM

This issue happened mid game ?

U were playing and suddenly a network lag

Nope, It happened straight out of the bag

terse flume Mar 26, 2019, 9:26 AM

Ok

Try the dns

#

If it doesn't work try using another Internet

#

Like a different wifi or use ur phone tethering

mental idol Mar 26, 2019, 9:29 AM

Okay, I'll try that since my DNS was already set to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4

@chrome tinsel does it say which device? maybe its audio related? have you checked temperature on your video card, also?

does it hang in the middle of the game or at the start?

ok so probably not overheating. when does it crash?

chrome tinsel Mar 27, 2019, 7:50 AM

#

randomly at all times

blissful sequoia Mar 27, 2019, 7:52 AM

#

It could be drivers I guess, they might have updated, that could explain why it worked for 40 hours

#

I would try updating to the newest video drivers, nvidia, intel or amd; and if that didn't work I would try the full foxhole re-install that is listed in the pinned messages for this room

#

uninstalling from steam doesnt always do a proper reinstall, it also needs a couple directories cleaned/deleted too

blissful sequoia Mar 29, 2019, 4:01 AM

someone did this before, you should search the channel

i think its actually in the pinned messages how to do it...

How to unlock FPS...

#

this is for very fast computers

#

if your computer is just slow, weak graphics card, you can lower the graphics settings in the game and you can also lower the resolution in there with the slider

#

vsync will also lock your frame rate

coral raven Mar 29, 2019, 5:59 AM

#

wait, so it should be on?

#

(vsync)

sly mortar Mar 29, 2019, 6:06 AM

oh

blissful sequoia Mar 29, 2019, 7:19 AM

depends if you can handle the effect of screen tearing or not

most people make the tradeoff for the feeling of input responsiveness i think

amber folio Mar 29, 2019, 10:38 PM

SO just wondering if anyone else experiences a lot of rubberbanding? Did testing on my side, usually if I experience it it's a result of just being on wifi, ( high jitter, ) but my network has been fine and I get consistent ping/jitter. I only experience it in Foxhole. Constantly just warping forward as I move. God forbid if I'm driving when it happens. Playing from Canada, and if I understand it, the server is in the states right?

blissful sequoia Mar 29, 2019, 10:48 PM

#

yes

#

if its a laptop, maybe turn off power saving modes on wifi, or consider changing channels - maybe it is noisy and it's lowering bandwidth or losing packets

amber folio Mar 29, 2019, 11:07 PM

#

All of the above checked and done. Only thing that I did have to d owas the uhhhhhh SIP

#

and no change. And it's exclusively a problem with foxhole.

blissful sequoia Mar 29, 2019, 11:59 PM

#

i suppose it could just be the servers... youre probably not the only one to experience rubberbanding

lapis steppe Mar 30, 2019, 1:34 AM

#

@amber folio I'm writing you from Europe, I also had some problems, it might be the servers being heavily populated? During Spade assault, for example, I had these kind of problems. After a while, though, the servers stabilised, and everything went just fine. Sometimes it happens and no, it is not your internet the problem, if you test it and you see it's working smoothly. 😃

amber folio Mar 30, 2019, 1:37 AM

#

Ah okay, I was worried I was becoming paranoid.

#

Becuase it's really bad at times. Unplayable so. I've had to quit in the midst of battles. ]: Feels bad.

Changing to Windowed Fullscreen fixes it, it only happens on Fullscreen

blissful sequoia Mar 30, 2019, 9:41 PM

my only guess is something like an overlay program, like discord or something shrug

is there a reason windowed fullscreen will not work for you?

Nope

it is the better option if you arent on a 2160p monitor

Canada

blissful sequoia Mar 30, 2019, 11:10 PM

#

its the firewall...

#

or antivirus

#

gotta turn it all the way off

#

i suspect most of those are from someone clicking no to the windows firewall or unchecking one of the networks in functions in

summer glen Mar 30, 2019, 11:18 PM

#

Tried with the anti-virus off and I already had and dobule checked that I've got exceptions for Foxhole

blissful sequoia Mar 30, 2019, 11:19 PM

#

probably worth disabling the firewall for a test

#

or disabling outgoing firewall

#

also, @summer glen did you do the DNS fix to google 8.8.8.8 or anything besides the one your ISP gave you?

#

seems very unlikely but ... i dunno

summer glen Mar 30, 2019, 11:21 PM

#

Don't think I've done that actually, I'll give it a shot.

#

Also, curious if you have an idea why it won't run in administrator mode?

blissful sequoia Mar 30, 2019, 11:21 PM

steam?

summer glen Mar 30, 2019, 11:21 PM

blissful sequoia Mar 30, 2019, 11:21 PM

nope, although im not sure its a great idea

summer glen Mar 30, 2019, 11:21 PM

#

Pops up a box saying its running with external parameters

#

Even with it off, won't run from the actual .exe at all

blissful sequoia Mar 30, 2019, 11:22 PM

#

well steam passes foxhole external parameters

summer glen Mar 30, 2019, 11:22 PM

#

Says the same thing

blissful sequoia Mar 30, 2019, 11:22 PM

#

you cant just run the foxhole game without having steam open it

summer glen Mar 30, 2019, 11:22 PM

#

Hmm

blissful sequoia Mar 30, 2019, 11:22 PM

#

it wont be able to connect if you do that, i think, because it uses a steam ID

#

i think the closest you can do is run steam as admin, and launch foxhole

#

but if its a firewall or antivirus problem it wont solve it

#

in steam, @terse flume?

summer glen Mar 30, 2019, 11:24 PM

#

Yeah, still nothing with firewall and anti-virus off

#

I'll try the DNS fix

blissful sequoia Mar 30, 2019, 11:24 PM

#

ok

#

the dropdown at the top left says Live, right? not devbranch or something?

summer glen Mar 30, 2019, 11:25 PM

#

Yeah, it's set to live

#

Though none of them work, tried dev and test as well

blissful sequoia Mar 30, 2019, 11:25 PM

#

oh thats not in anymore

#

hmmm

#

i know, it seems like wrong game version, right?

sly mortar Mar 30, 2019, 11:27 PM

#

Steam has to be running.

blissful sequoia Mar 30, 2019, 11:27 PM

#

so either cant connect to remove network, or maybe wrong game version, or steam connection probs

sly mortar Mar 30, 2019, 11:27 PM

#

It also has to be logged in, and cannot be in Offline mode.

blissful sequoia Mar 30, 2019, 11:28 PM

imagine if the devs had a test network connection button...

#

no i guess what we need is better error messages
