Fixing Resolution Settings if the Game cannot be opened

Go to
C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Local\Foxhole\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor\GameUserSettings

Open GameUserSettings with notepad, and change the top 10 lines to look like this, however, if you have a smaller monitor, change the resolution to your monitor's size.

ResolutionSizeX=1920
ResolutionSizeY=1080
LastUserConfirmedResolutionSizeX=1920
LastUserConfirmedResolutionSizeY=1080
PreferredFullscreenMode=0
AudioQualityLevel=0
FrameRateLimit=0.000000
DesiredScreenWidth=1920
DesiredScreenHeight=1080```

[blissful sequoia]

also the one after that actually

oh they both include preferreredfullscreen

[terse flume]

@sterile hornetwhat no chat

[sly mortar]

Black Screen on Startup

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

1. Go to C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Local\Foxhole\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor
2. Open GameUserSettings.ini
3. Set PreferredFullscreenMode=0 from whatever it is currently at
4. Save the file
5. Restart the game

[terse flume]

Error number plz

[stone canyon]

awhh actually the gameusersettings is empty

[blissful sequoia]

   @stone canyon

[terse flume]

It's a perfect waste of 3gb data

[stone canyon]

oki i will try

[terse flume]

Because of one mistake

Remember the days when 1gb was supposed to be my hard disk

[sly mortar]

You can't transfer GameUserDatas. I've tried it. If you don't have one, you have to do a full reinstall.

[ionic adder]

Yeh?

[terse flume]

So did you read #technical-read-first⚠

[ionic adder]

Nah, never had problem´s up to right now.

Will do and will try.

@terse flume Nope nothing will help.

[terse flume]

Try changing dns

[ionic adder]

Did. result: Nope

[terse flume]

To 8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4
Restart steam

[ionic adder]

okay trying 8.8.4.4

Nope

Same sh1tt

[terse flume]

Try using mobile tethering

[gaunt mountain]

Just had the same problem, using my VPN fixed it. Idk if that helps

[terse flume]

Yes u can try that too

[gaunt mountain]

Is this dependent on location? Because I'm from Germany and i'm guessing so is @ionic adder

[sly mortar]

Shouldn't be.

I know plenty of Germans who play just fine,

A while back we had some problems with an ISP "accidentally" spoofing the login tokens of players to the Foxhole servers, which the VPN fixed.

[terse flume]

Well I forgot about VPN 😄

[grim lance]

actually I know of 5 Germans(including me) that we have the same problem. Problem to this theory is that there are also many Germans that can play the game

[terse flume]

It has something to do with your isp

[sly mortar]

Yeah, try using a VPN @grim lance

[terse flume]

It's messing with steam servers

Try using tunnel bear

[gaunt mountain]

@grim lance are you using "1&1" by chance?

[grim lance]

I do

also I have problems with some websites not loading

[sly mortar]

Yeah, they're blocking you then.

[stone canyon]

derp ?

[terse flume]

What dr

He is afk

[stone canyon]

i just wanted to ask him if he tried proton with the -dx9 switch

[sly mortar]

Meh, always try pinging him. @blissful sequoia

[terse flume]

😑

Don't be bitchy here icanari

[ionic adder]

Yep Using 1&1 To :/

[sly mortar]

Yeah, try using a VPN.

[terse flume]

Haha 1&1 has got u all

[sly mortar]

My recommendation for right now is: https://www.tunnelbear.com/

[terse flume]

Hey I recommend it

😑

[sly mortar]

Good for you

[terse flume]

[ionic adder]

I´ll try that next

[blissful sequoia]

what was the question, @stone canyon ?

[sly mortar]

i just wanted to ask him if he tried proton with the -dx9 switch

[blissful sequoia]

oh

no!

didnt even know there was a dx9 switch

definitely going to try that

[terse flume]

👀

[blissful sequoia]

im using the amdgpu drivers successfully, but i see the open source mesa drivers have better performance (by a lot) in benchmarks so id prefer that if possible

[ionic adder]

VPN Works just fine.

Guess i just wait a bit, maybe 1&1 will sort them selves out sooner or later.

[sly mortar]

Maybe

I kind of doubt it

[ionic adder]

If not, see you guys tomorrow

[sly mortar]

Alright.

The VPN should work. However, it's unlikely that the ISP will stop on their onw.

You may want to call them about blocking you @ionic adder

[blissful sequoia]

1&1 is your ISP?!

god i hate that company

[sly mortar]

Everyone does

[stone canyon]

yeah boycott 1&1

[terse flume]

What is 1&1 like vodafone

[blissful sequoia]

they signed me up for some service without consent, but i canceled it, and then a year later they sent a bill to collections against me!

[sly mortar]

Kinda hard if they're the sole provider as they are in a lot of places.

[blissful sequoia]

garbage company

[stone canyon]

yes to albion

[terse flume]

Then use vodafone

It's best

😄

[stone canyon]

i canceled my suscription with 1&1

[sly mortar]

Make sure to have a physical record of that if you can

[stone canyon]

hmm hmm reinstall didn't work

[sly mortar]

They may very well be still charging you

[blissful sequoia]

do you have a settings file now greater than 0 bytes?

maybe you can do the resolution fix now

[stone canyon]

computer is updating windows

[sly mortar]

Oh.

[terse flume]

But he is in columbia

[blissful sequoia]

i think the worst internet routing is coming out of south america

like so many brazilians

[terse flume]

I like my university

[blissful sequoia]

maybe its because we have a lot of south american players, hmm

[terse flume]

It gives me a great free internet

[stone canyon]

the config files are still 1 byte

[sly mortar]

Hmm

Could you try logging into the game?

[stone canyon]

???

[sly mortar]

Nevermind.

Was hoping it would create a few files if you started it.

What's your screen resolution @stone canyon

[stone canyon]

1386x877 or so

[sly mortar]

Alright

Try putting this in that file and starting your game.

[blissful sequoia]

would expect other missing stuff too

[sly mortar]

Yes.

That's the important one though.

[blissful sequoia]

maybe it creates game settings file on first run and it doesnt get that far

[sly mortar]

The rest of Config just effectively doesn't matter.

[stone canyon]

i give up

[sly mortar]

So it didn't work @stone canyon?

[stone canyon]

nope still black screen and crash

[sly mortar]

Alright

Going to DM you a set of files

That you should put in the Config.

[amber kite]

Icanari

[sly mortar]

What

[amber kite]

How good are you with psus

And them triping breakers

[sly mortar]

Power Supplies?

[amber kite]

Yeah

Mine just triped a breaker lmao

[sly mortar]

Uh

how

Wait

[amber kite]

Idk dude

[sly mortar]

A breaker in your house?

[amber kite]

Yeah

[sly mortar]

What.

[amber kite]

And my pcs pretty much dead

[sly mortar]

Actually. I bet I know why. You have too much power going through that breaker, try plugging into a different circuit.

[amber kite]

No bios beep

The problem is i had it setup like this for 4 yeara now

[sly mortar]

Try plugging into a different outlet

[amber kite]

And now ir started

It wont beep :-:

Time to get a new psu ...

O jesus man

And the fans are spinning at mach 10

[stone canyon]

i don't want to sound cheeky but maybe there is an prerequisite missing ?

[amber kite]

Well my pc just gave up on working

[terse flume]

Hammer get out of Columbia and use your pc

[amber kite]

O fack

[sly mortar]

@stone canyon Uh.. we don't often have problems with installs, normally it's uninstalls.

But yeah, try updating drivers etc.

[amber kite]

Its beeping aggresivly now

[terse flume]

Coow destroyed his home power supply gg

[amber kite]

Wish i knew how to upload sound files on mobile discord

[blissful sequoia]

did you try to print something on the laser printer?

[terse flume]

U can

[blissful sequoia]

stupid laser printer always trips my breaker

[terse flume]

Use plus

And then file tab

Derp u should get it checked

[blissful sequoia]

i think its a 10W circuit or 15W or something

[amber kite]

Its beeping aggresively at me help

[blissful sequoia]

LED lights and a UPS helped a lot

[amber kite]

Halp

[blissful sequoia]

uhm

[sly mortar]

Why the fuck

Is it an Apple encoded file

[blissful sequoia]

unplug it, take the side cover off

[sly mortar]

What even

[amber kite]

Idk dude

Im using a samsung lmao

[blissful sequoia]

CMOS jumper + battery reset

you either fried the motherboard, ram, video card, or power supply

[amber kite]

What a nice selection

[blissful sequoia]

a reset might help but unlikely

[amber kite]

Nah i removed the ram thats why it beeps like that

So the mobos fine

[blissful sequoia]

i listed ram in there

[amber kite]

The psu is prolly dead tho

I mean dead

Ita semi dead

[blissful sequoia]

does it smell like toast?

[amber kite]

Sadly not

[blissful sequoia]

well you can try the cmos jumper, its always near the battery

[terse flume]

Dam

I was hoping for toast

[blissful sequoia]

generally you switch the pins its on (probably with pliers if you have big hands) and power it on

then you switch it back and power on again

that resets the bios

[amber kite]

What even

I literraly put my psu switch to off

And my pc starts booting

Wat

[terse flume]

I have one issue

This is foxhole tech chat

😄

[amber kite]

Soo?

[terse flume]

Nvm

Is your PC happy

Now

[blissful sequoia]

hah have you tried turning it off and turning it on again

[amber kite]

My pc is confused just like myself

Also i think im blins

I cant fins the atupid jumper cap

[blissful sequoia]

its near the battery...

do you still need to reset it?

[amber kite]

I cant find it either lmao

[blissful sequoia]

thought you said your computer started booting

[amber kite]

It started then died again

[blissful sequoia]

where did it die?

[amber kite]

Also i really cant find the battery or the jumper

Like 30 seconds into fan spining

[blissful sequoia]

windows was loaded?

[amber kite]

Nah fam

Just aggresive fan spinning

[terse flume]

You fried your mb

Rip

[amber kite]

Oh fuck dude

The jumper is under my graphcis card

Fuck

[terse flume]

[blissful sequoia]

yep, usually a pain in the ass to get to

there are multiple jumpers

its the one closest to battery

only has 3 pins

[amber kite]

I lost my acrewdriver aswell....

Fuck

[blissful sequoia]

you dont happen to have another PC/power supply to test with, do you?

[amber kite]

Sadly not

[terse flume]

It's time to use Google then

[blissful sequoia]

you can try the jumper reset, or unplugging most of the hardware from the motherboard

[terse flume]

Nearest tech repairs

[blissful sequoia]

but it really sounds like a hardware problem

a power supply is an easy and relatively cheap replacement

motherboard is not

[terse flume]

400 USD I think

For an average mb

[amber kite]

Theres no cap near the battery lmao

Time to open up my mobo data sheet i guess

[blissful sequoia]

ok what motherboard model is it

you say cap, im thinking capacitor, please dont pull a capacitor out haha

[amber kite]

Whats the worst that could happen

Also m5a97 le r2.0

I bought the cheapest shit i could lmao

[sly mortar]

That's a really bad idea

[terse flume]

It's still better thn my pc

I can't even pronounce my mb company

Cheap chinese shit

[amber kite]

Icanari i was poor

Im still poor

:c

Also i found the cap

Its like on the way othwr aide of thw mobo

[blissful sequoia]

jeez why does m5a97 le r2.0 sound so familiar to me

i wonder if i owned one of those, sooo familiar

god i might have a replacement one of these

[amber kite]

Vause its like the cheapset mobo

For the am+3 socket mobos

[blissful sequoia]

i think i remember it being decent tho

like a 4/5 stars thing

[amber kite]

Well its fine

[blissful sequoia]

ah, no tpm header i think

omg i think i have this board sitting in my garage gathering dust

[amber kite]

Has like 20 thousand sata ports tho

Randimly littered on it

[blissful sequoia]

might be easy to find a replacement lol

[amber kite]

Yeah

I think its thw psu tho

If i remwber rigjt

[terse flume]

@terse flume i wouldnt say 400usd avg for a mb

they are around £80-£120

[amber kite]

It goes from 1-2 to 2-3 for a bios reset

[blissful sequoia]

if you cant find a mobo replacement you get stuck with new motherboard, ram and CPU

[terse flume]

which is around $200

[blissful sequoia]

i think thats why he said that much

[terse flume]

I m unfamiliar with dollars

[sly mortar]

Uh

[blissful sequoia]

oh

[sly mortar]

300 is pretty average for high quality Mobos

[terse flume]

you dont need any high end stuff for a motherboard

[blissful sequoia]

lol in icanari's world

[stone canyon]

okay the game doesn't install the ue4 prerequistes

[sly mortar]

Ah.

[blissful sequoia]

our computers are junk compared to icanari's i think

[terse flume]

unless you are doing OCing you dont need to spend more than 150

[blissful sequoia]

did moorep get his pc going??

[sly mortar]

Yes

[amber kite]

Pff

[sly mortar]

Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 or DirectX runtime are missing

This error is likely based on the windows install and may be because something corrupted itself. There are some steps you can try though.

1. Check if a PC restart helps
2. Reverify your game files through steam (Properties >> Local Files)

If neither of these things help, there are even more things you can try.

1. Ensure that you have the latest Windows updates and video card drivers installed. Make sure you ensure that you check that all windows updates have been installed. You can do this by clicking the start menu and going to Setting >> Update & Security >> Windows Update, and select Check for updates.
2. If you continue to experience issues, try uninstalling the C++ 2015 x86 and x64 runtimes from the add/remove programs utility in Windows and reinstall them from the official download -- https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48145. One installed, restart your computer.
3. Alternatively, you can try installing the .exes found in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Foxhole\_CommonRedist\vcredist\2015

Another potential problem is that certain Windows system libraries (dlls) were corrupted. A common fix for this is to do the following.

1. Start foxhole and uninstall the UE4 Prerequisites when the game prompts to install it.
2. Rename the xinput1_3.dll in C:\Windows\System32 to xinput1_3.dll.BACKUP
3. Rename the xinput1_3.dll file in C:\Windows\SysWOW64 to xinput1_3.dll.BACKUP
4. Start Foxhole and install the UE4 Prerequisites when prompted to do so.

For additional details on this solution, please check this thread from a different UE4 game. If this doesn't work, and you are still having trouble there is one last thing to try.

1. Open Command Prompt as administrator and type sfc /scannow
2. Restart your PC
3. Attempt the install again

This may fix other issues which are possibly interfering with your install.

[amber kite]

Moore spend shitona of cash tho

[sly mortar]

Try this @stone canyon

[terse flume]

U can dm him

[sly mortar]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[terse flume]

😑

200/250+ on a mb is probably for more reliable VRM and software and dual bios etc, better lane and power delivery, usually only reserved if your expecting to do some heavy ocing

[blissful sequoia]

i think $150 is the sweet spot

ive bought some expensive boards that werent very good stable

[terse flume]

the only problem with the market atm is the amd sockets are not too common

[stone canyon]

nawh you have to execute ue4prequistes.exe in engine/extra

[terse flume]

so they tend to be more expensive

[blissful sequoia]

also amd boards dont have good features

[terse flume]

actuall some of the crosshair ones are faily decent

some of them are extremely well suited for high clocks

[blissful sequoia]

yea but bare bones, like ... uhh

[amber kite]

Welp

[terse flume]

there are like

no barebone mbs for amd ryzen +

rare anyway

[stone canyon]

try installing foxhole on a virgin pc and you will see

[blissful sequoia]

oh right finding the jumper...

[terse flume]

Dr

Can u give your specs

Please

[stone canyon]

it runs now

[terse flume]

😄

Nvm

Then

[blissful sequoia]

so its at the bottom corner by the 4 sata ports @amber kite, did you find it already?

its marked CLRTC

[amber kite]

Yeah

Did the old switcharo

And nothing

[blissful sequoia]

you switched back?

[amber kite]

Ye

[blissful sequoia]

hmm

yea you would need a power supply to test next, i guess

[stone canyon]

just wanted to inform you that ue4prerequsites.exe isn't execetuted by the installer

[terse flume]

what exactly is wrong with coowkies

[blissful sequoia]

no boot

[terse flume]

doesnt even turn on?

He fcked his power supply

[amber kite]

Its like

Fans spin

[blissful sequoia]

have you tried booting with the video card, just to rule that out?

[terse flume]

Now mommy is furious

[sly mortar]

His PSU somehow tripped a breaker in the house and probably fucked his Mobo

[terse flume]

alright

first

what psu do you have

[amber kite]

The led stays on for like a second near the on button

Then the bios doaent want to beep

[terse flume]

and check if your psu has internal surge protection

you also will want to check if your mobo has a surge protection circuit on it to, you can usually find that on just general information

if you have blown a breaker you have gone above maximum current draw on your houses powerlines, which is usually a sign of either a fuse blow out, or its just outright short circuited

[devout token]

I always get the error "No Home Regions Found." when I try to pick a side. It does not matter what side I try to pick. And I have tried to reinstall the game and change some settings.

[amber kite]

Welp

[terse flume]

most power supplies dont even go near the standard limit for current protection overflow

a space heater is like 3000w and is about half that

@devout tokenare u using 1&1 as isp

[devout token]

no

I dont even know what that is

[terse flume]

Internet service provider

Is isp

who you pay for your internet

Bob try changing dns

[blissful sequoia]

your game version might be out of date

[terse flume]

Then try a VPN connection

[blissful sequoia]

restart steam, make sure you have disabled beta versions in the foxhole properties

[terse flume]

That yoo

My bad

[blissful sequoia]

make sure you are using "Live" branch also in foxhole

[devout token]

changing dns?

[terse flume]

Listen to derp first

[blissful sequoia]

yea the DNS thing is next lol

[terse flume]

Check your game version @devout token

[devout token]

it is up to date

[blissful sequoia]

its set to live? you restarted steam successfully?

[devout token]

"Live" branch?

I just started steam up again

[blissful sequoia]

yea theres a drop down when you go to connect in foxhole

its usually set to Live but sometimes people have it left on Devbranch or whatever

[devout token]

Where would i see that?

[blissful sequoia]

foxhole main screen i think?

[terse flume]

Top left

After before selecting faction page

@amber kite if your psu has circuit protection internally it wouldve more than likely sacraficed itself to prevent damage to your components but i would reccomend taking your gpu out and finding a garbo psu that is like 200- 300 w to test with still

No on faction page

[devout token]

it is set to live

[terse flume]

since circuit proection doesnt always save everything

Then change dns

[blissful sequoia]

yea read the pinned messages, the 2nd one that talks about DNS and voice - try that

[terse flume]

Dam derp

U type faster

[blissful sequoia]

180 wpm

[terse flume]

Fixing issues with Voice Chat, DNS related
What is DNS?
DNS is Domain Name System, it is used to resolve Domain Names to their respective location or IP address.
Why would DNS be the issue?
DNS is used when services like VoIP are trying to resolve where to send the audio traffic and where to recieve audio traffic from. Certain DNS providers and ISPs have the incorrect information where to send traffic, causing Error Codes in game such as [8]-6.
How do i fix this?
Following this article: https://gadgets.ndtv.com/internet/features/how-to-change-dns-server-on-windows-7-8-windows-10-and-macos-1669869
Add 8.8.8.8 as the primary and 8.8.4.4 as the secondary(Google DNS). If you'd prefer to use a different one than google, use 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220 (OPEN DNS)
If you need more assistance please ping the tech wizards role!

Bob then try to use a VPN

[blissful sequoia]

hmmm that post has a little bit of misinformation i think

[terse flume]

If it doesn't work

[blissful sequoia]

doesnt cause error [8]-6

we dont know what causes [8]-6 ...

i think its a routing problem when we get [8]-6 but if we ever figure it out wow it would save lives

[amber kite]

?prwtty sure its my psu only

Just fliped it from 0 to 1

And boom

[terse flume]

See mobile tethering also fixes 8 -6

[amber kite]

Lighta out

Circuit fliped

[terse flume]

yeah psu is probably shorted

[blissful sequoia]

yea

[terse flume]

usually how they fail

if they fail hard they usually short to ground

[amber kite]

It dosent do it everytime tho

Prolly some shit got loose

[terse flume]

its probably a loose connection, were you running it for a large peroid of time

[amber kite]

3 years

[terse flume]

@devout tokendid you try the DNS

3 years is way longer than most of my psus live

lol

[devout token]

I am doing it now

[blissful sequoia]

wow you guys should buy better power supplies lol

[terse flume]

no

[amber kite]

I dont want to connent my pc agaib ...u

[terse flume]

mine are usualyl 1000w platinum grade

[devout token]

could this affect anything else negatively?

[amber kite]

Ugj

[terse flume]

No

im just using 800w

so they dont last very long

[amber kite]

Well fuck

[terse flume]

I have a PSU from 10 years

[amber kite]

Give me psu reccomendation

[terse flume]

It never failed

[amber kite]

Im using bout 500 w

[blissful sequoia]

i like seasonic

[terse flume]

corsair or seasonic

[blissful sequoia]

gold+ is the way to go if you can afford it

i suggest you can get a gold+ for $50 or less

for example: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?sdtid=12996439&SID=62d44a565c9011e9a975e61b785c285b0INT&AID=10446076&PID=1225267&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-Slickdeals LLC-_-na-_-na-_-na&Item=N82E16817151226&cm_sp=

[terse flume]

you shouldnt use more than about 60% of your psus total power if you want a long life time

[blissful sequoia]

40 up front, 15 dollar rebate

its only 80+ bronze

i sure hate rebates

[amber kite]

To bad we dont have any deticacted tech sellers in croatia

Ugh

[blissful sequoia]

yea about 50 for a 80+ gold seasonic

[terse flume]

yikes

[blissful sequoia]

eek

so ... ebay.hr?

[terse flume]

amazon usually have listings for decent psus from major sellers

[blissful sequoia]

where do you get computer parts?

[terse flume]

@amber kitego to a tech atore

[amber kite]

Ekupi is like maybe lmao

The nearest one is like 4 hours of drive fam

[blissful sequoia]

lol

[amber kite]

Ekupi is bassicly ebay.hr ++

[blissful sequoia]

well, i mean ... a power supply is pretty generic, maybe you can find someone's broken computer and take it

[terse flume]

https://translate.google.co.uk/translate?hl=en&sl=hr&u=https://www.ekupi.hr/&prev=search

kek

rip

[blissful sequoia]

im going to say grace for easy access to computer parts today

[terse flume]

161 it says

then i go and none

lmao

There is no easy access

If u don't live in west

[amber kite]

Well theres a listing for a corsair vs650

Hmm

[terse flume]

thats an 80+ if i remember

[amber kite]

Then theres shit like this

Fucking dog toothpaste

[terse flume]

what is the one currently rated at in your pc

500?

[amber kite]

600w

[terse flume]

yeah then a 650 would be fine

[amber kite]

500 kns dude...

[terse flume]

as long as your pc doesnt succ like 85% of the power from it should be fine

[amber kite]

MAH HART MAH SOLE

[terse flume]

for the 650?

[amber kite]

Ye

[terse flume]

Srsly900 kuna

its only 60 dollars here

[amber kite]

My parts all together succ around 450 on average

See 15 price difference

[blissful sequoia]

their CX line is uhh ... cheap

[amber kite]

If i were to buy it for 60 from ebay or somethibg

[terse flume]

Dude thats not cheap

[amber kite]

The border would slap a 40 dollar fine on it

Lmao

[blissful sequoia]

i mean their cx line is ... not as good quality

[terse flume]

cx line is chinesium

[blissful sequoia]

mhm

[amber kite]

Cx is 50 kn less or about 5 dollars lmao

[blissful sequoia]

evga also a good brand, seasonic, uhh ... cooler master

[amber kite]

For 150 w less

[terse flume]

Ahhhhh

😱 😱

[amber kite]

Why is there godamn dog toothpaste

[blissful sequoia]

if you can find gold + it will be quieter and last longer and use less power, theyre just better...

[terse flume]

1k for a ram

[amber kite]

For 2 ram

[terse flume]

a 550w~~ £39 which is like 50-55 dollars

[blissful sequoia]

that rm 650 is a good pick for sure, but yea probably expensive

[terse flume]

i guess thats what they are using as thermal paste

xddddd

a 650 is probably best pick if you are using 450-500w though

any lower and youre pushing the limits of the psu

and they dont last very long like that

@devout tokendid it work

[amber kite]

Whats even the diff between

[devout token]

negative

[amber kite]

Vs and rm series

[terse flume]

Did u do a steam restart

After dns

it will just be older/newer more than likely

[devout token]

yes

[terse flume]

different technology

Try using a vpn

Tunnel bear

[amber kite]

What thw fuck

[blissful sequoia]

if you have a mobile phone you can test that first to see if a VPN will help you

[amber kite]

How is thw 620 cheaper

[terse flume]

lol

[amber kite]

Im confused

[terse flume]

its normal between companies

thermal take 650w are almost 100 dollars

xd

[blissful sequoia]

@amber kite check the power efficiency rating. maybe its only bronze

[terse flume]

the corsairs was 80+

I stopped suggesting mobile tethering people say it's expensive

[devout token]

If I need a VPN just to play this game then I am just not going to try to do it

[blissful sequoia]

just for testing, chigga

[terse flume]

Yes

[devout token]

I might reinstall it again sometime to see if it works

[terse flume]

German dudes never try it

[devout token]

I am American

[blissful sequoia]

german dudes can probably afford to just buy a month of PIA

oh

oh jeez i almost forgot

[amber kite]

Wow

[terse flume]

@devout token try mobile tethering

[blissful sequoia]

bob, your firewall

and your antivirus

[amber kite]

I checked evga psus on here

[blissful sequoia]

they are probably blocking the connection

[amber kite]

First one is about 700 usd

Lmao

[terse flume]

yeah

[devout token]

oh shit

[terse flume]

evga is expensive

[blissful sequoia]

you can disable them to test, particularly the firewall

[terse flume]

completely overpriced

youre just paying more because evga

[devout token]

I have Avast

[blissful sequoia]

oh god avast

[devout token]

I will see if it is blocking it

[terse flume]

oh

my

god

not avast

[blissful sequoia]

well, again, its probably a firewall, not antivirus

but some antiviruses have firewalls with them

[terse flume]

antivirus is just another layer of firewall

I have an avast

[devout token]

sometimes it will block shit

[terse flume]

avast does have firewalls

What wrong with it

[blissful sequoia]

thats probably why then

[amber kite]

I like

Wheres thw efficency rating

Im confused

[terse flume]

80

[amber kite]

Why cant they sort the lists or somwthing

[sly mortar]

80 what

[terse flume]

80 efficiency

thats all it says

lo0l

[sly mortar]

Everything is fucking 80 pretty much

[blissful sequoia]

in league we would call that wood, whatever comes below bronze

[sly mortar]

Lol.

[blissful sequoia]

cardboard

[terse flume]

well 90/95+ is expensive

xd

[amber kite]

Its white efficiency

Whatever thefuck that is

[sly mortar]

That isn't a fucking thing

[terse flume]

its just bronze

[blissful sequoia]

yea i think that corsair is refurb or something

[terse flume]

80 is bronze

85-90 is silver

[blissful sequoia]

those "white" label ones are like for OEM stuff

[terse flume]

90-95 is gold

96-97 is platinum

[amber kite]

Its 80+ fam

[sly mortar]

Not always. I've seen gold 80s.

[terse flume]

bruh

theyre just trying to confuse the market

to make more money

zzzz

[devout token]

rip still does not work

[sly mortar]

I know. It's literally in the designation. but it was 80 percent efficient

[blissful sequoia]

there is indeed hard numbers as the standard

but its in different power draw levels

[terse flume]

Coowkies buy a Chinese one

well

some of them say

oh

its

80% at

50% usage

bruh

[blissful sequoia]

right

theyre pretty similar at the 50% level

[terse flume]

and then some are rated at 80% at 60/70% usage

Bob u can get a refund

[blissful sequoia]

but theres a noticeable quality different in the models between bronze+ and gold+

[terse flume]

If less than 2 hrs plau

[amber kite]

Bois gamer PLUS

Insta buy

End me

[blissful sequoia]

omg so many LEDs it must be fast

[terse flume]

yeah the major difference in psu price ranges like that is circuit protection

some have electronic resets

some have fuses

fuses dont save crap

[amber kite]

This feels like its the junkie version

Od normal tech sides

Lmao

[terse flume]

Buy an alienware

It's better

[blissful sequoia]

whats the currency in croatia?

[terse flume]

Croatian kuna

And euro

[amber kite]

Dude what is this same forza

[blissful sequoia]

is there another type of kuna? is this like dinars?

[amber kite]

Wtf

[terse flume]

xd

Might be

Dinars are beautiful

[amber kite]

Migtha seell buy the sama forza and try it lmao

[blissful sequoia]

i would probably take mystery brand gold + instead of known brand bronze +

do we know sama? they any good?

[terse flume]

as long as it doesnt seem like some unsually low price or have chinese factory stickers all over it

its usually fine

Go alibaba

theres a extremely large problem atm with chinese market psus

If u can

And u hit a jackpot

[amber kite]

Dude sama forz is literraly croatia exclusive seems like it

Wtf is this

[terse flume]

Probably a local

Company

[amber kite]

Dude

They listed

[terse flume]

Might be good

[amber kite]

On/off switch

As a feature

Wtf

[terse flume]

Then they are not

[terse flume]

from what ive seen

😄

[amber kite]

But fam 90% eff at 50% usage

[terse flume]

they do make okay power supplies

yeah but whats the falloff

it could be 90% at 50%

but then like

40% at 75%

xd

[amber kite]

87% at 100

[terse flume]

Isn't there Amazon in croatia

yeah thats fine

[amber kite]

There is albion

But we got new regulations half a year ago

Now its cheaper to buy it from a local importer

Than trough amazon

For example for a 300 usd mobo

[terse flume]

Huh

[amber kite]

The border slaps a 200 usd fee on it

[blissful sequoia]

wow!

[amber kite]

So 500 ib total

[terse flume]

Same as country

well sama forza are like the main supplyer for psus in your country

[amber kite]

I nevwr heard of them dude

[terse flume]

lol

they probably sell products to private firms

[amber kite]

Like has the outside world heard of them ?

[terse flume]

and get rebranded

[amber kite]

Has anybody ever seen rhem lmao

[terse flume]

yeah you can get them here

they arent too different to existing corsair or seasonic psus

they do offer some better components

so

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[blissful sequoia]

they have decent reviews, the sama forza 750

[amber kite]

Ive been usinf this

[blissful sequoia]

platinum yea right

[amber kite]

Mystery lmao

It lasted me 4 yeara tho

[blissful sequoia]

thats like if your first name is "doctor"

[amber kite]

Ao im willing to give sama forza a try aswell

If i let this china looking thing that peolly gives viruses somehow

Then ill trust my croatian psus aswell

[terse flume]

https://ms-start.com/en/ms-platinum-600-v7.aspx

found your psu thats in your system atm

[blissful sequoia]

me too lol

[amber kite]

I thibk i bought it for 200 kunas dude lmao

[blissful sequoia]

you overpaid

i dont even know the exchange rate!

[amber kite]

30 dollars

Or so

[blissful sequoia]

generally i would say good deal, $10 per year, but not if it fries your motherboard...

[terse flume]

what in the world

it doesnt even show you any of the statistics in the manual

[amber kite]

It didnt tho i think

[blissful sequoia]

maybe there ARE no statistics

it looks like the kind of power supply that comes with a cheap case

[amber kite]

Well it soes have a big made in china aticker on it

Lmao

[terse flume]

8) If you do not use your PC of long period of time, turn your PSU off and unplug the power cord.

?????????????????????????????????????

but why

[blissful sequoia]

haha i saw that too

[amber kite]

Wtf

[blissful sequoia]

so you dont get power surges

so your CMOS battery dies

[amber kite]

Who cares about cmos anyways

[blissful sequoia]

its annoying when you lose all bios settings every time you unplug computer

[amber kite]

I sont even know from what im booting tbh

I have 2 storages on my pc

Now that i prolly reset my bios

Ill have to find which one has the mbr on it

[terse flume]

there is like no information on this psu it was certainly a rebranded chinese thing lol

Good psu come at around 8 pounds

[amber kite]

30 bucks fam

Lasta 4 years

The chinamen arent thst bad

[terse flume]

China is best

the chinamen make things work

My whole pc is Chinese

[amber kite]

But no info is omegalul

[terse flume]

but they also forget to put nails in places there should be

[terse flume]

And it's going for 10 years

[amber kite]

Armor or forza ?

[blissful sequoia]

what is the difference?

[terse flume]

forza is the one that when i looked had quite alot of good reviews

[blissful sequoia]

a racing stripe?

[terse flume]

best way is to search around and check review sections out

[blissful sequoia]

forza is probably fine, its fully modular, right?

[amber kite]

I cant dp ot effictivlt tho

[blissful sequoia]

not sure how the other one could be better

[amber kite]

Like im on phone fam

Its hard to compare...

[terse flume]

they are basically identical

[blissful sequoia]

yea i cant find a difference

[terse flume]

both modular

[blissful sequoia]

just a racing stripe

[terse flume]

have the same safeties

same ratings

[amber kite]

Wtf

Lmao

[blissful sequoia]

its a good power supply

[amber kite]

Welcome to the croatian shoping world i guess lmao

[terse flume]

corsair and evga etc pull the same stuff

this is the M lineup

this is the K lineup

====

exactly the same

[amber kite]

Guys

What is this bs

The regulaf price is 544

But they show it as 750 crossed out down to 499

Wat

Is this legal

[terse flume]

lol

its a tactic

the raise the price

then they cut it

to make it seem like it was more expensive

makes consumers think they are saving more

when youre only saving like ~~ 10%

instead of like 30%

its perfectly legal

no laws against it

alot of market places do it

[amber kite]

Fhis is some sketchy shit dude

Also i tried visiting samas side

And its account suspended

Wat

[terse flume]

pretty much every seller ive looked at has had them all at the same approximate price and are just large distribution centers

id blame those new regulations

lol

[amber kite]

I still dont know which one to get lmao

[terse flume]

it doesnt make a difference

they are basically identical internally

[amber kite]

Armor got no protections listed tho

On the selling site atleasr

[terse flume]

https://www.inter-tech.de/en/products/psu/atx/armor-750

ovp and ocp

it also has scp and nlp which is all standard modern protection

[amber kite]

So same shit

Wow

[terse flume]

they are just basically different paintjobs

lol

[amber kite]

Guess im buying the one that looks cooler lmao

[terse flume]

most cases you cant even see the psu

mine has a hidden shroud

[amber kite]

Shhh

[terse flume]

thermal take make rgb psus

r g b

bruh

its like putting a racing stripe on a prius

[amber kite]

Bruh

It shine red

Holy fk duse

[terse flume]

infact thats where 30w of power is being wasted

[amber kite]

They five u 5 year wareanty

[terse flume]

yeah

[amber kite]

Welp

Idk what im gonna do over the weekend now

[terse flume]

dunno

thats the worst part about pc parts failing

having to wait

lol

[amber kite]

Wow okay

So if i oay more than 500 kn

I gwt free shiping

[terse flume]

lol

[amber kite]

They put the price to 499.99

thinking

[terse flume]

find something cheaper than the shipping

and add it to cart

xd

technically

thats discounted shipping

xd

[amber kite]

Ye

Theres nothing cheapwr lmao

[terse flume]

ah well

rip

[amber kite]

Welp

Kapserspy

[terse flume]

i dont even know what that is

lol

well its internet sec

but never heard of them

ever

[amber kite]

I only heard that they were shit

Also my psu should arrive 15.4_17.4

:-:

Thats like monday

Ugh

[austere galleon]

<@&521124241395941396> is there anyone who can read my foxhole crash log

[sly mortar]

Uh

Sure

[blissful sequoia]

throw new IcarusException("too many commends")

[sly mortar]

@blissful sequoia it's because of his GTX 260

[blissful sequoia]

i dont even know what that is

[terse flume]

gpu

[blissful sequoia]

i cant picture it

[sly mortar]

A ~10 year old GPU

[terse flume]

very very old

how tf do you even run windows 10

on a 260

[sly mortar]

I don't know

[blissful sequoia]

is that amd?

[terse flume]

nvidia

[sly mortar]

https://tenor.com/view/bait-thatsbait-gif-5055384

[blissful sequoia]

oh damn

[terse flume]

https://tenor.com/view/this-is-fine-gif-5263684

[blissful sequoia]

do you really roll with that?

[terse flume]

whats real is using a dual gpu card from amd

thats how you throw compatability down the drain

GPU Engine Specs

i think intel hd graphics is better

although back then it probably wasnt

thats the type of gpu you play counter strike source on

[minor rover]

so i just started having this issue where despite having no frame lag, pausing, or the game slowing down, and the game appearing to run normally in real time, i randomly teleport a random distance AHEAD of where i was previously

<@&521124241395941396> any thoughts lads?

[sly mortar]

Uh

Could you get a video?

[minor rover]

yeah ill see about it, could be a bit because it happens sort of unpredictably

[plucky bluff]

Yes i have same problem

A short 2 sec lag max and just teleporting foward

[slim girder]

Server latency

[minor rover]

ah yeah that could be it

that would make sense really

[river grove]

this always happens to me when my laptop overheats

[minor rover]

im not on a laptop and dont usually have issues with over-working my desktop, i dont think its a hardware issue

i dont suppose theres a way to check ping

[river grove]

yea it's prob server latency for you

[minor rover]

yeah wow, its wild though because its not rubber banding, its like reverse rubber banding

pulling me forward instead of back

ill still see about getting a video

[fallow skiff]

<@&521124241395941396> My voip is broken, it lags terribly and I only heard audio every other second. I can't understand anything and changing my DNS did not work at all.

[sly mortar]

Try this please

Fixing Vivox Voice Files

1. Close Steam and Foxhole
2. Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Foxhole\War\Plugins\VivoxCoreUE4Plugin\Source\ThirdParty
3. Delete VivoxCoreLibrary
4. Reopen Steam, and verify the game files.
5. Restart your computer.

[fallow skiff]

I don't have a plugins folder

Wait nvm

It was in another :p

[blissful sequoia]

that sounds like network lag

oh Icanari i tried various -dx9 arguments but it didnt work

[fallow skiff]

It's not lag, everything else is completely fine

Ping wise

[sly mortar]

They go to different servers

[fallow skiff]

Hm, it still didn't work.

I changed my DNS back to automatic since it didn't work, would doing both of them have any different effect?

[sly mortar]

No

[fallow skiff]

At once I meant

Or is that what you meant lol

[sly mortar]

It would not have an effect

Try restarting your router

[terse flume]

@minor rover @river grove what you are experiencing could possibly be sim speed issues since the game could be running slower than expected in your client than what the server would be expecting which would mean when the server tries to calculate your map position during moving it takes alot longer for your pc or laptop to move your character the same distance it would when running at a regular speed and there for the server might be jumping you forward by sending information back to you because it may have been calculating your position as if your game was running at a regular speed

[inner basin]

@minor rover That happens to me at random intervals too. Although it doesn't happen too often

[minor rover]

Yeah trouble is right, im logi so im in a truck 90 percent of the time and randomly i get clipped forwards

That would also make sense, sim speed, probably better than latency because of the outcome

[dreamy heart]

okay so i was doing some stuff and acidently set my foxhole thing to windowed

then when i set it back to fullscreen it changed it to the wrong resolution

and now i cant change the resoltuion because i cant hit apply in options

[terse flume]

@dreamy heartFixing Resolution Settings if the Game cannot be opened

Go to
C:\Users[USERNAME]\AppData\Local\Foxhole\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor\GameUserSettings

Open GameUserSettings with notepad, and change the top 10 lines to look like this, however, if you have a smaller monitor, change the resolution to your monitor's size.
[/Script/War.WarGameUserSettings]
ResolutionSizeX=1920
ResolutionSizeY=1080
LastUserConfirmedResolutionSizeX=1920
LastUserConfirmedResolutionSizeY=1080
PreferredFullscreenMode=0
AudioQualityLevel=0
FrameRateLimit=0.000000
DesiredScreenWidth=1920
DesiredScreenHeight=1080

[dreamy heart]

ok thanks

well i mean it can boot up i just cant hit apply on the options menu

[terse flume]

Just change the file

[dreamy heart]

alright

[terse flume]

Become your resolution is off

[dreamy heart]

k thanks man

thanks man it worked

[terse flume]

😄

[terse flume]

did the fucking game die?

cant join

keep getting "connection to server timed out"

[sharp vector]

Man, I've been unable to connect to voice chat for days. Logged off, tried to voice reconnect. I'm doomed to just wave at the collies as they die instead of reading them their last rights like more bullets and dying. I can't exactly type it all out before they kick the bucket.

[blissful sequoia]

check the pinned messages regarding voice chat

you may find a solution there

[fallow skiff]

@sly mortar restarting my router doesn't do anything either.

[sly mortar]

Alright.

[fallow skiff]

Maybe it's a bug, not a connection thing

[sly mortar]

Have you tried reinstalling Foxhole?

[fallow skiff]

Yeah

first thing i tried

[supple egret]

I seem to have the same problem as GibHacker. Since the last patch, my received voice chat is garbled. It cuts in and out as if someone were flipping a switch on and off constantly, so you hear about every other word. This had never occurred previously. Logging out and restarting the game or PC has not helped. Neither did deleting the Vivox folder.

[fallow skiff]

That's exactly what I have

[terse flume]

Did u guys try changing dns

Sip alg solution too

U can find it in pinned

[fallow skiff]

Yes, I tried it, and it doesn't work

I tried everything suggested

[terse flume]

Sip alg too

[sly mortar]

Are there any errors you're getting? Or just the lag?

[fallow skiff]

The error I'm getting is exactly what Jones described. My ping is otherwise fine

[sly mortar]

Are you getting any errors.

[fallow skiff]

How would I know

[sly mortar]

Is anything showing up in chat?

[terse flume]

Any error codes in chat box

[fallow skiff]

I'd need to see where that is since I haven't noticed anything suspect

Is it just the ingame text chat?

[terse flume]

Yes

[sly mortar]

It would be orange, in the regular chatbox.

[terse flume]

Does any thing in bold yellow shows up

Like voice error 8 -6

[fallow skiff]

Ill check BUT i've never noticed anything (so far)

when would an error message appear?

[sly mortar]

Likely when you pressed the push to talk, when you were talking, or when you stopped pressing push to talk. Or when listening to someone else.

[terse flume]

https://www.vivox.com/gamers/help/19

[sly mortar]

Y'know

I wish that site actually had useful information on it

But it doesn't really

[terse flume]

😄

But you can contact them

[fallow skiff]

Bruh

If I have to go on a wild goose chase email some nerds for a third party site then clearly there's an issue with the game since it was patched, not my connection

[terse flume]

Try doing all the stuff they are suggesting

It's a connection issue

Not a game one

[fallow skiff]

Since it patched my internet blew up? kek

[terse flume]

These vivox problems are not unique

[sly mortar]

It's likely the connection / routing to Vivox, and they are possibly able to help with that.

[fallow skiff]

That link just goes to the main site, is there a specific thing I could do

[sly mortar]

http://www.vivox.com/gamers/help/contact

Nevermind

Foxhole isn't in that list

[terse flume]

What I believe is foxhole has poorly implemented vivox

[sly mortar]

Correct

[terse flume]

They have done something wrong

[sly mortar]

I've been yelling at them for.. 6 months now

[fallow skiff]

then this is a Dev issue cause they broke my damn game😂
