@fallow skifftry using a vpn

Just to cross out your isp

I was under the impression that most people get voip for free

it really seems like a network problem which is why people dont have a lot of recommendations

testing it on any other network connection would also help determine it

fallow skiff Apr 13, 2019, 5:46 AM

It's not a specific network

At least router

#

I know that

blissful sequoia Apr 13, 2019, 5:46 AM

#

i think maybe we had something like this before - i theorized a firewall constantly disconnecting the voice after 1s might reconnect, and kind of give that effect

fallow skiff Apr 13, 2019, 5:47 AM

That's certainly what it sounds like

#

What's voicemeeter

blissful sequoia Apr 13, 2019, 5:47 AM

#

have you tried with windows firewall disabled?

#

voicemeeter is a virtual sound card, you can route your regular audio through it and its at least guaranteed to have a compatible audio interface with foxhole

some people have odd mic troubles

fallow skiff Apr 13, 2019, 5:48 AM

how do i mix the sound with it, it mutes my game audio so i only hear myself

blissful sequoia Apr 13, 2019, 6:20 AM

It's the A and B buttons

#

Probably set mic to B

And regular audio out only comes from A channel, I might have it backwards

There's only 3 permutations possible

so

got that

blissful sequoia Apr 13, 2019, 6:26 AM

#

ok, so check that your windows sound control panel is set to voicemeeter as the default playback device

they should be on voicemeeter

terse flume Apr 13, 2019, 3:26 PM

#

@pastel walrus you need a soundboard of your chosing or a player, and the common way to do it is to use a virtual audio cable and input the soundboard into that and set the default microphone in game as the audio cable

#

you cannot talk using that method

#

however you can use Auto hotkey to set up a hotkey to switch audio channels

#

without needing to go into the menu

#

im also pretty sure theres programs that can also do that

#

because not all of us own mixers

#

lol

#

you could just path both your microphone AND soundboard into the one virtual audio cable

#

and have a hotkey to keep your mic muted when youre using the soundboard

#

some soundboards come with the ability to auto activate ingame push to talk keys aswell

#

combining alot of these methods you can get a pretty effective and non earrape setup going on

#

rather than being that one kid putting a mic up to a $20 walmart speaker on 100% volume

@amber kite you pulled the pin out of your power connector - push it back in if youre going to reuse that connector

youre not supposed to pull them out by the cables

#

@green totem route it through voicemeeter, it's a sound driver problem I think

routing through a virtual interface like voicemeeter fixes it

it seems that way. It was fine until recently. Is there a good place to send or post the DxDiag?

blissful sequoia Apr 15, 2019, 1:59 AM

#

i dont need an entire dxdiag actually

#

just the sound portion, Icanari is right that voicemeeter will solve your problem, but the devs need to actually fix this one

#

but they will probably need to know the model and driver to even test it

#

i wouldnt be surprised if it was somethin weird like a mismatch of mic/speaker sample rates 44100 vs 48000

#

or 22050 or somethin on the mic, i dunno

no that wouldnt happen, hmm

well

its pretty obv where each cable needs to go in the psu

#

and then all you do is find the ones your, cpu, gpu, hardrive/ssd need

#

24 pin is the easiest

#

you should have some 8pin cables your cpu socket needs an 8pin and your gpu should either need a 6,8 or 6x6 or 8x8

if its a 6 there should be cable where there are 6x2 pins

Who knows

blissful sequoia Apr 16, 2019, 5:10 PM

#

i imagine a replacement board is about half of the price of that power supply

#

its not really an expensive repair if you can find one...

#

@meager gazelle full screen should lock it to one window - maybe fullscreen windowed mode does not

#

@tame tiger route your audio through voicemeeter and the problem will probably go away

terse flume Apr 16, 2019, 7:05 PM

#

I tried a fresh reinstallation of foxhole following the first pinned message and i still got no home region found @blissful sequoia

blissful sequoia Apr 16, 2019, 7:06 PM

#

so the first thing it does, as far as i know, is download a list of servers from a web page

#

so you would need DNS working, then be able to connect to the amazon aws server (https) connection, and download the server list, then talk to the servers

#

so if we are sure its not a DNS problem, because you tried the DNS fix, and you confirm fresh install makes no difference

#

i think that just leaves the network routing, the easiest test is a mobile phone tether and turning off your windows firewall

#

if it connects, then the problem is your firewall or your home router

#

if it does not connect, then it must be something else...

#

a VPN might also be a good test, if you have access to a VPN instead of a mobile phone connection

#

but i do not know another way to track the problem down without testing some other internet connection route

#

Oh, also check the properties for foxhole in steam and make sure all the betas are disabled, @terse flume, just in case you turned one of those on a long time ago

pastel walrus Apr 18, 2019, 9:16 PM

#

AMD has so much more value for 99% of gamers. Dont see any point ever buying an intel cpu right now, unless you want to spend a lot of money for nothing.

#

Especially considering mobo prices. You almost always get a much better value there too. Intel got kicked in the balls really well by the Ryzen series and they are not doing a good job retaining this part of the market.

#

But still so many swear by intel too much, that cult is dying slowly thankfully and we will get a nice cpu market thanks to amd being very relevent again.

#

Wish this would happen to GPU more too.

blissful sequoia Apr 18, 2019, 9:23 PM

Gamers is their only market then

And laptops

Are you on wifi

distant harness Apr 19, 2019, 10:33 PM

#

yea

proud schooner Apr 19, 2019, 10:33 PM

#

I'd recommend trying to connect physically to your router to see if that corrects it. It's one of the steps.

#

As at least a way to eliminate that as an issue.

distant harness Apr 19, 2019, 10:33 PM

#

ill retry it

proud schooner Apr 19, 2019, 10:34 PM

After connecting physically, I would re-run the test as well to see if it improved the ping

Do you have a modem+router combination or do you have a router separate from your modem

seperate

proud schooner Apr 19, 2019, 10:36 PM

How many devices do you have on the network? More than 5?

11-12 but only 2 are in use

proud schooner Apr 19, 2019, 10:36 PM

Hm

#

Does your modem happen to have multiple ethernet outputs that you could plug into?

#

Skipping the router basically

distant harness Apr 19, 2019, 10:37 PM

#

i dont believe so

proud schooner Apr 19, 2019, 10:37 PM

#

Have you already restarted the router (unplug, wait for 30 seconds, plug back in)?

#

And if not,

distant harness Apr 19, 2019, 10:38 PM

#

tried it yesterday, could do it again though (couldnt hurt)

#

one sec ganna do that

proud schooner Apr 19, 2019, 10:38 PM

#

I'd do both the modem and router. Unplug router, then unplug modem. Wait 30 seconds, plug modem in, wait a bit more, plug in router, restart computer.

#

Your ping is unusually high is what I'm getting at.

terse flume Apr 19, 2019, 10:44 PM

#

Hey russ

#

Did you try the vpn

proud schooner Apr 19, 2019, 10:44 PM

#

VPN isn't the answer here.

terse flume Apr 19, 2019, 10:44 PM

#

But it generally solves these issues

proud schooner Apr 19, 2019, 10:45 PM

#

That's not how networking works.

terse flume Apr 19, 2019, 10:46 PM

#

But if he comes back ask him to try mobile tether

proud schooner Apr 19, 2019, 10:46 PM

#

wut

blissful sequoia Apr 19, 2019, 10:46 PM

#

if you arent willing to test the vpn we will never know if its a networking problem

#

we have definitely seen people unable to route to the servers with a VPN

proud schooner Apr 19, 2019, 10:46 PM

#

Mates, whilst I appreciate you chiming in, we already have a possible culprit. There's a reason why troubleshooting goes through a particular process.

blissful sequoia Apr 19, 2019, 10:47 PM

#

hah

#

you think you have a culprit?

proud schooner Apr 19, 2019, 10:47 PM

#

If the issue is a local issue, a VPN changing external routing won't correct it. It would still be a networking issue.

blissful sequoia Apr 19, 2019, 10:47 PM

#

what do you mean it wont correct it? we've seen it

#

it corrects it

proud schooner Apr 19, 2019, 10:48 PM

#

Again, that's not how networking works. VPN could bypass the issue depending on where the issue lies. But if it's a local network issue, again, it most likely won't correct it.

blissful sequoia Apr 19, 2019, 10:48 PM

#

its probably more likely a software firewall but it helps to determine, ya know?

proud schooner Apr 19, 2019, 10:48 PM

#

High network ping as a whole indicates a furthe rissue.

#

Again, it's literally my career.

blissful sequoia Apr 19, 2019, 10:48 PM

blissful sequoia Apr 19, 2019, 10:49 PM

How does one get the Colonial role?

blissful sequoia Apr 19, 2019, 10:49 PM

Thanks

proud schooner Apr 19, 2019, 10:50 PM

#

Ye, so routing issues -

blissful sequoia Apr 19, 2019, 10:50 PM

#

its routing on the ISPs side, not local network usually

distant harness Apr 19, 2019, 10:50 PM

#

i think i found it out

proud schooner Apr 19, 2019, 10:50 PM

#

If this were international, I would typically point at bad routing first

distant harness Apr 19, 2019, 10:50 PM

#

a new firmware update came out

blissful sequoia Apr 19, 2019, 10:50 PM

#

whenever its a local problem its almost always a firewall/antivirus so local that its that specific computer

proud schooner Apr 19, 2019, 10:50 PM

#

Ah for the modem or router?

distant harness Apr 19, 2019, 10:50 PM

#

both

proud schooner Apr 19, 2019, 10:50 PM

#

Nice

#

Yeah see how that goes

distant harness Apr 19, 2019, 10:51 PM

#

(its not on the list so it wasent exactly first to check)

blissful sequoia Apr 19, 2019, 10:51 PM

#

new firmware is pretty common, reminds me i should update mine

distant harness Apr 19, 2019, 10:51 PM

#

might want to add that to list,

blissful sequoia Apr 19, 2019, 10:51 PM

#

i really doubt new firmware will fix anything a restart wouldnt

proud schooner Apr 19, 2019, 10:51 PM

#

But yeah, because it's a local North American connection, with decent internet connection (above 50mbps), seeing high ping on other services (fast.com for example) indicates either a local ISP issue, or a local network issue.

blissful sequoia Apr 19, 2019, 10:51 PM

#

ive seen routing problems (to the voice servers only) from north america, sir

proud schooner Apr 19, 2019, 10:52 PM

#

Routing could be an issue if it's from the ISP to a larger ISP hub,

blissful sequoia Apr 19, 2019, 10:52 PM

#

i know what youre saying, its xnot likely

terse flume Apr 19, 2019, 10:52 PM

#

A mobile tether clears all

blissful sequoia Apr 19, 2019, 10:52 PM

#

and its not, but its really hard to pinpoint it without that test

terse flume Apr 19, 2019, 10:52 PM

#

😄

proud schooner Apr 19, 2019, 10:52 PM

#

but the best thing to do then wouldn't be to slap a VPN on. It's a bandaid fix to a further issue. The best thing to do then would be to call their ISP and tell them about the bad performance, have them check routing and signal degredation

blissful sequoia Apr 19, 2019, 10:52 PM

#

the vpn is just to test an alternative route

#

mobile tether works too

distant harness Apr 19, 2019, 10:53 PM

#

kinda wish the router/modem woulda pinged me it needed an update, but it didnt

blissful sequoia Apr 19, 2019, 10:53 PM

#

it also tests through the local router

proud schooner Apr 19, 2019, 10:53 PM

#

Yeah most ISPs will send an email about modems, but routers are notoriously bad about firmware

blissful sequoia Apr 19, 2019, 10:53 PM

#

so it can help determine if thats the problem as well

proud schooner Apr 19, 2019, 10:53 PM

#

Particularly Netgear if you have a netgear router

#

Discord for example got boned by a bad netgear firmware

distant harness Apr 19, 2019, 10:53 PM

#

I have a netgear

#

that could explain a few things XD

proud schooner Apr 19, 2019, 10:54 PM

#

It completely destroyed people's ability to connect because it would wreck packets completely.

#

There was a bug bounty for it that I sat down and tested all netgear routers I had access to over the course of a month

blissful sequoia Apr 19, 2019, 10:54 PM

#

like SOHO routers?

distant harness Apr 19, 2019, 10:54 PM

#

well ima see if that fixed my issue one sec

blissful sequoia Apr 19, 2019, 10:55 PM

#

god how much easier this would be if we could just use ICMP and talk to the server and see

proud schooner Apr 19, 2019, 10:55 PM

#

Mostly residential

#

SOHO thankfully don't get firmware updates as often

#

Had an order of 100 access points come in with 70% DOA due to bad firmware once. That was a fun time.

blissful sequoia Apr 19, 2019, 10:56 PM

#

all that being said im 90% sure firmware wont fix his problem

#

unless it resets ... all of his default settings and it was a hangup there

distant harness Apr 19, 2019, 10:57 PM

#

well im not sure yet, im ganna figure it out tho

#

once steam decides it wants to work

proud schooner Apr 19, 2019, 10:58 PM

#

The issue with firmware, is if it's sitting in memory, it can cause local network issues. Or, if it's a firmware update to fix a bad firmware, etc

blissful sequoia Apr 19, 2019, 10:58 PM

#

yea but it wouldnt target foxhole

#

he wouldnt be on discord either

proud schooner Apr 19, 2019, 10:58 PM

#

No, but Foxhole would by a symptom of the issue

#

Games and services have less of a tolerance than say, VOIP

#

Voice connections are inherently designed to be low-risk, whereas they have a higher tolerance for issues

blissful sequoia Apr 19, 2019, 11:00 PM

#

no servers found = https tcp connection

#

what could be more tolerant than that

proud schooner Apr 19, 2019, 11:00 PM

#

Steam authentication for example

blissful sequoia Apr 19, 2019, 11:00 PM

#

hmm

proud schooner Apr 19, 2019, 11:00 PM

If it's timing out as a result of high ping with packet loss

#

Try connecting directly to the modem with your computer physically

#

And then try fast.com again

distant harness Apr 19, 2019, 11:04 PM

#

one sec

proud schooner Apr 19, 2019, 11:05 PM

#

It may not work at all depending on the modem since it's designed to have a router, but worth a shot

distant harness Apr 19, 2019, 11:05 PM

#

well i gatta wait

#

brother wants to finish his league game

proud schooner Apr 19, 2019, 11:05 PM

#

picardlol

#

Have him try fast.com too

#

To see if he gets a different ping result

#

You can also give it a shot on mobile as well

distant harness Apr 19, 2019, 11:06 PM

#

alright

#

ipod gets 40 mbps

#

342 loaded

terse flume Apr 19, 2019, 11:07 PM

#

Do the mobile

proud schooner Apr 19, 2019, 11:07 PM

#

rough

terse flume Apr 19, 2019, 11:07 PM

#

Do it

proud schooner Apr 19, 2019, 11:07 PM

#

Okay so it's likely a network-wide issue

#

Yeah I'd test direct connect to the modem. It'll help eliminate the router as an issue if it work

#

You already tried setting DNS to 8.8.8.8 or 1.1.1.1?

distant harness Apr 19, 2019, 11:08 PM

#

alright but still gatta wait for his league game

distant harness Apr 19, 2019, 11:15 PM

terse flume Apr 19, 2019, 11:16 PM

You use your cellular network as ethernet

#

Just a test

distant harness Apr 19, 2019, 11:16 PM

#

distant harness Apr 19, 2019, 11:17 PM

#

terse flume Apr 19, 2019, 11:17 PM

#

Nvm then

distant harness Apr 19, 2019, 11:17 PM

#

any other ideas?

terse flume Apr 19, 2019, 11:17 PM

#

Try downloading tunnelbear

#

It's free

distant harness Apr 19, 2019, 11:17 PM

#

vpn still says no home region found

#

(thats why im so dang lost on this, i have no clue how to fix it)

terse flume Apr 19, 2019, 11:18 PM

#

Did you click on connect on tunnelber😄

distant harness Apr 19, 2019, 11:18 PM

#

yes

terse flume Apr 19, 2019, 11:19 PM

#

Restart steam then

distant harness Apr 19, 2019, 11:19 PM

#

i restarted the entire computer and steam afterward, same result

terse flume Apr 19, 2019, 11:19 PM

#

It stops the vpn

#

Connect it and then open steam

distant harness Apr 19, 2019, 11:21 PM

#

my antivirus flagged tunnelbear and deleted it :/

#

(before you ask foxhole is whitelisted)

blissful sequoia Apr 19, 2019, 11:22 PM

#

if vpn says no region found

#

then its probably antivirus or windows firewall

distant harness Apr 19, 2019, 11:22 PM

#

i've already tried disabling and playing

#

it still said no home region found

blissful sequoia Apr 19, 2019, 11:22 PM

#

which antivirus?

distant harness Apr 19, 2019, 11:22 PM

#

windows defender

blissful sequoia Apr 19, 2019, 11:22 PM

#

eek

#

is tunnelbear a virus?

distant harness Apr 19, 2019, 11:22 PM

#

it says it is

blissful sequoia Apr 19, 2019, 11:22 PM

#

ive never used it, honestly

#

i always use PIA

#

ok so youve already managed to disable the windows firewall for testing?

distant harness Apr 19, 2019, 11:23 PM

#

ya

#

it still said no home region

blissful sequoia Apr 19, 2019, 11:23 PM

#

but you cant do a vpn test or any other internet connection, hm?

#

thats going to make it hard to narrow down...
