oh what

bleak turtle
#

Sec Ill show you

pearl kayak
#

so ingame on the actual playing field you cant see the map aswell

blissful sequoia
#

you said "war service connection failed"

terse flume
#

Speaking of which, how do I leave the tutorial "boot camp" island?

bleak turtle
blissful sequoia
#

@terse flume the tent everyone is gathered around teleports you

bleak turtle
terse flume
#

@blissful sequoia Thanks!

bleak turtle
pearl kayak
#

@bleak turtle odd

blissful sequoia
#

uhh

#

do you have a radio? have you hit E on the town hall already?

bleak turtle
pearl kayak
#

its not that derp

#

he cant see the thing that connects the regions

#

aka has no connection to it or it is blocked

blissful sequoia
#

mhm

bleak turtle
#

Its blocked somewhere but I cant figure out where.

blissful sequoia
#

or its an http connection that is being intercepted

pearl kayak
#

so your firewalls are off

bleak turtle
#

Yes

pearl kayak
#

and anti virus asswell

pearl kayak
#

i mean the router could be blocking it but that would be stupid

bleak turtle
#

I set it to low

#

And nat only

#

Neither worked

blissful sequoia
#

can you test with tunnelbear or a wifi hotspot?

pearl kayak
#

reboot *

#

the router

blissful sequoia
#

that will determine if its your router

pearl kayak
#

rebooting can fix alot of things, it only takes a couple of minutes

#

so rebooting the router can help alot

bleak turtle
#

I restarted my pc... but I guess I can do the router.,

pearl kayak
#

that stopped my steam downloading once

#

took me 3 days

#

i was livid when i found out 😄

bleak turtle
#

Restarted router did not work

#

Does anyone know the IP of the war service?

blissful sequoia
#

nope

#

they hide it

bleak turtle
#

Well... I was going to sniff it and see what wireshark said

blissful sequoia
#

yea if youve got the skill it might help you out

#

hard to say

bleak turtle
#

@blissful sequoia Should I @ chicken?

blissful sequoia
#

i have no idea

#

if youre brand new how do you already know who to bug?

bleak turtle
blissful sequoia
#

yea im not sure, ive had mixed results about asking devs for things

#

totally up to you - how bad do you want to play lol

#

and you can always try a VPN/hotspot to see if its your internet connection causing the problem

bleak turtle
#

If I knew what ip to look for I could at least track down the issue.

distant tree
#

How likely do I get banned for killing 10 people with a truck because they keep walking in the middle

polar marlin
#

unless you get mass reported, very unlikely

balmy shale
#

Hi, I've just picked up Foxhole today and I'm trying to get it to work on Manjaro (Linux) any advice would be appreciated?

polar marlin
#

you'll just get weapons locked for 20 min

balmy shale
#

I've tried proton 3.19-9 beta and 4.2-9 but it won't launch, I've also set Steam to use Vulkan DX11 version in the Steam settings but it just keeps crashing.

distant tree
#

Is there any good suicide clans?

polar marlin
#

wrong chat.

distant tree
#

oh shoot sorry

blissful sequoia
#

@balmy shale you have the proprietary video drivers?

balmy shale
#

erm good question I'll double check (I thought I did)

blissful sequoia
#

the default vesa drivers arent not good enough

#

youve got to get the binary packages from AMD/nvidia and install those

#

i found them to be incompatible with ubuntu 18.04.2, so I had to roll back to 18.04.1 lol

#

but i have kind of an older video card on my linux machine, a 750ti

#

was able to get it to work with the right video drivers tho

balmy shale
#

Oh ok, I'll have to search on how to install them in Manjaro

blissful sequoia
#

it's like a tar.gz you unzip and run the installer (if it's nvidia)

balmy shale
#

AMD Vega

blissful sequoia
#

hmmm

#

well i did try with amd too, similar process, struggled more with those drivers tho

#

anyway i just download the installer from AMD, no reason to deal with package management/3rd party repositories in my opinion

balmy shale
#

Your on Ubuntu though right?

blissful sequoia
#

yeah

bleak turtle
#

@hot oak I am getting a "war service connection failed". I have tried to Restart my computer, steam and router. Turn off my firewalls (windows and router), verified my files, run using administrator, opened all steam ports on router (Not that they should be blocked.).... I am just kinda at a loss.

hot oak
#

@bleak turtle Have you run through the networking troubleshooting steps in the pins on this channel?

bleak turtle
#

Yes

hot oak
#

Uninstall foxhole
Disable firewall
reinstall foxhole
Re-enable firewall

bleak turtle
#

But... if the firewall was turned off... how would that effect it?

hot oak
#

There has been an issue in the past where the download of the configuration files is being blocked on download by the firewall

bleak turtle
#

Oh....

hot oak
#

There is a good chance this is happening because of a conflict with your anti-virus program, which can result in critical files from being downloaded from our cloud services. Here are a few steps you can take to try and resolve the issue:

i) Add Foxhole to your exclusions list

In most antivirus programs, this will be in the ‘settings’. If it asks you for a folder to add to your exclusions list, specify the folder that Foxhole is installed to. By default, it should be :\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Foxhole

ii) Unblock Foxhole from your firewall

If you have a firewall, go into its settings and look for something like, “Allow an App through the firewall”. Make sure that Foxhole is selected. Depending on your software, it might also come up as ‘WAR’

iii) Unblock port 443 from your Firewall

For this you may need to Google specific instructions for your software. In most cases, port settings are located under an ‘advanced settings’ section of your router administration site or firewall software. You will need to create an inbound/outbound rule, or exception, for port 443.

iv) Verify Integrity of Game Files

Go into Steam and right click Foxhole, click on 'Properties', click on the ‘Local Files’ tab, then click ‘Verify Integrity of Game Files’. Once completed, restart steam and try Foxhole again.

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.

#

@bleak turtle Antivirus as well. Especially if you're using Kapersky

bleak turtle
#

@hot oak I dont use an antivirus.

#

And turning off my firewall should have fixed it.

#

Turned off firewalls, uninstalled game, reinstalled game. Still nothing.

hot oak
#

And you've tried the other steps such as restarting your router?

bleak turtle
#

@KrazyFlyinChicken I am getting a "war service connection failed". I have tried to Restart my computer, steam and router. Turn off my firewalls (windows and router), verified my files, run using administrator, opened all steam ports on router (Not that they should be blocked.).... I am just kinda at a loss.

blissful sequoia
#

you're tier 2 tech support kfc

#

we already checked the tier 1 stuff

#

but there were 2 other people with this problem, 1 guy disappears forever, the other one has nothing to say about it lol

inner basin
#

im one step closer to using wireshark on this

bleak turtle
#

I tried.

#

I could not get any useful data

#

Since I dont know what a proper packet is supposed to look like.

blissful sequoia
#

indeed, although i would not be surprised if the intel was an http request

#

specifically http

polar marlin
#

there's some fucky connection going on the servers atm

#

me and some guys are basically teleporting

worthy jackal
#

who atted me

#

and why

craggy solstice
fallow pagoda
#

Is the server down? My game is not connecting

#

Oh wait

craggy solstice
#

yes

fallow pagoda
#

I see the comments

craggy solstice
#

is down

fallow pagoda
#

Thx

craggy solstice
#

The server is very unstable.

fallow pagoda
#

No worries, I’ll fight another day then

craggy solstice
#

Almost every day.

#

It takes me three hours a day to reconnect to the server

terse flume
#

Yeah same, been waiting in loading screen for ages

torpid gale
#

I'm not the only stuck at the loading screen?

craggy solstice
#

me too.

#

It's so disappointing.

pallid tangle
#

I'm also stuck into the loading screen

verbal pawn
#

Yeah, something is up with the servers

#

I can't get on as well

blissful sequoia
#

works for me...

#

i dunno if it recently came back online or what. i sure wish we knew the damned servers so we could determine what cuts the network off for so many people so often

#

i would be inclined to believe its all DNS servers, but who knows. maybe internet routes are going down or w/e

#

oh or maybe tis faction specific.

torpid gale
#

Yeah I dunno, was on for a few hours, logged out real quick and now I'm stalled after clicking deploy

blissful sequoia
#

it might be the colonial home island is broken

hallow thunder
#

Okay so I'm not the only one stuck in an endless loading screen then?

clear ermine
#

I'm stuck on the loading screen as well. Verified files, but no luck. I'll give it a try tomorrow.

blissful sequoia
#

no its definitely not just you

#

if i had to guess, id say theyre probably paging the devs, i bet its back working in a couple hours or less

hallow thunder
#

Then I'm going back to Runescape (don't judge me)

pallid tangle
#

Now it's work for me

clear ermine
#

Confirmed. I'm in as well

worldly hawk
#

hate to keep bringing this up but it's getting very frustrating. i've set up voicemeeter as my default audio device and everything and it still hasn't fixed my problem in game

blissful sequoia
#

which problem?

#

theres game audio, theres voice audio, theres local and operation voice audio

worldly hawk
#

for some reason the voice audio from me and everyone around me keeps cutting in and out

blissful sequoia
#

ok so its the classic bug

#

the one for voicemeeter, ok ok ...

#

and you installed it and then you switched to voicemeeter as the defaults...

terse flume
#

Stuck at loading screen ?

blissful sequoia
#

and you saw sound in the voicemeeter interface's equalizer properly for mic and speakers?

#

eazy e i think its down, i cant join either, someone needs to tell the mods

worldly hawk
#

yes

#

checking voicemeeter now again, it's not even showing up in my playback devices this time

terse flume
#

big oof

#

i reported it to mod mail

blissful sequoia
#

did you uninstall it?

worldly hawk
#

voicemeeter?

terse flume
#

this happened before

blissful sequoia
#

yea i cant imagine why it would disappear from the playback devices, otherwise...

worldly hawk
#

no, i haven't uninstalled it. i have turned off my computer since last night, however

blissful sequoia
#

are you using the old windows 7 control panel for sound? i find it easier to use than the new windows 10 stuff

worldly hawk
#

i am

blissful sequoia
#

if its not in that list, but you have voicemeeter running, then i think you need to reinstall it

worldly hawk
#

oh dear, ok

blissful sequoia
#

there are 2 popups that are red windows (because the driver is not signed)

#

its not signed because they havent paid microsoft to do the thorough testing

#

or maybe its not red, no ...

#

no i think its a regular verified driver

#

anyway i think its 2 popups you have to OK

worldly hawk
#

i remember seeing it wasn't a verified driver

blissful sequoia
#

ah ok so im remembering it right then.

worldly hawk
#

but i don't remember anything after that, to be honest

blissful sequoia
#

unverified, but its OK, we've all used it

#

you may have clicked no because they were red, and then the drivers didnt install - thats my guess, i recommend reinstall it

terse flume
#

is it fixed yet

elder prism
#

so its not just me stuck loading into home region

terse flume
#

yeah its everyone

worldly hawk
#

when i go to uninstall voicemeeter from the control panel im just presented with the window to install it?

#

no option to uninstall

terse flume
#

everyone that went to loading screen

#

i returned to home region and now im stuck at loading screen

#

big oof

#

happened last war too

#

took like about an hour to fix

blissful sequoia
#

uhh you can just install it again i think

#

or maybe you dont have it installed, actually

worldly hawk
#

well i've hit install on the installer thing and it said it was installed and asked for a system reboot almost immediately so i'll go do that

blissful sequoia
#

yea that is needed

#

its like the one thing i have to restart my computer for, and like updates once a month when the russian get really hackerish

worldly hawk
#

that doesn't seemed to have worked and no matter what i do i can't seem to uninstall it

blissful sequoia
#

hmm

#

did you download the zip or exe?

#

oh its the same thign isnt it

worldly hawk
#

yes

blissful sequoia
#

i guess you maybe missed a necessary reboot

#

its all i can think of

#

so that page says to uninstall it in the device manager

hallow thunder
#

I just got a one minute respawn timer after being spawn killed

clever onyx
#

I have connection problems all the time I cross the border... can it be cured?

worldly hawk
#

am i supposed to install virtual cable with voicemeeter?

worldly hawk
#

so yeah, this thing isn't showing up for me at all in playback devices or recording devices. i've done a bunch of searching online and followed a few steps such as disabling the checking for driver signatures, reinstalled the thing etc. but still no cigar

cunning sapphire
#

There are several read first related to voice chat errors, in which order would you do them? @inner basin

charred turret
#

hello, no new pb, but wondering if anyone found a way to resolve random sound crash during travelling/moving from home island to any other maps

cunning sapphire
#

The issue is that I get the "connected to local chat" message but I am not, so The message on top right displays when I push to talk but the speaker icon on top of me does not and nobody can hear me or viceversa, on joining a operation sometimes I can talk in operation but never in local(1/2), reconnecting to local chat sometimes works(2/6), sometimes doesen't(2/6), and sometimes does not connect successfully displaying [2] 2-5006 error(2/6). Joining a different region doesen't seem to work(0/2), sometimes restarting foxhole does fix it(1/3), and restoring vivox files as the read first does has fixed it (1/1).

blissful sequoia
#

i saw somebody in reddit say they fix the 8-6-0 error by disabling their sound card and enabling it in the device manager or sound control panel

#

every time they want to play

#

it actually sounds easy to do, you can try it, i think they do it multiple times until it works, but we have basically no other solution for 8-6-0 as far as i know

#

maybe the voicemeeter thing would work - if its indeed not a network problem

cunning sapphire
#

Since i can have the problem but still talk in game it is not the microphone or speaker
Since it works or doesent without touching networking it does not seem to be a internet error

I have my suspicions on my potato PC since it works worse when doing other things (discord, league launcher...)

blissful sequoia
#

i dont think its a potato pc problem

#

its like a weird sound driver issue - incompatible with vivox but not foxhole

cunning sapphire
#

will try those another time

charred turret
#

Hello got an issue, my character keep randomly teleporting around while I walk, when it doesn't, it walk but don't actualy move ahead (like walking and keep walking in an invisible wall) can do 3 to 8 steps before one of the issue trigger

Reproduction steps on the same day discovering the issue : in Home Island, WE (med pop), RT (low pop), Marban (high pop) > walk a straight line, turn, climb up, jump down, trigger with all those actions
Where it happen : when I'm on the global map whether I'm in a low, med, or high populated region
Where it doesn't: in home island
Checked internet working fine, went on ethernet to stabilize, no change

Hi! First of all, awesome game! Very promising. But the problem iI have is this. I worked all day in the Loftmire OP and was hauling goods from Great Marsh. But as soon as I left Heartlands, I couldnt hear the voice chat operations anymore. And neither could they hear me. Other people who were outside Heartlands could still hear me, people in Great March but also in Loch Mor so it was not just 1 region. It is as if voice chat doesnt cross the Heartlands borders, neither goin in nor out. Can clarify in game if needed. My in-gane name is the same as here. Greetings JaXx055

#

and just to clarify....I'm not the only one with this problem... everyone in my Op experiences the same. Maybe even all people in Heartlands

Hey dont know if this is a common problem but cant find anything about it on google. when i join i have both game audio and voip but after about 1 min my game audio cuts out but i still have voip any ideas what it could be?

blissful sequoia
#

have heard a few accounts of game audio dying; i don't know of a fix personally, might be worth a search through reddit or something...

#

possibly audio driver problems - i know it seems like it couldnt be because vivox keeps working but theyre somehow sharing the audio interfaces

#

i think it would be worth finding your motherboard model, and getting the audio drivers from the manufacturer's site

#

or if your audio is from your video card, ya know, update the audio drivers from that source

median forge
#

ive had a trawl through reddit but havent found anything concrete yet will try the drivers. cheers for the help 😃

blissful sequoia
#

theres been at least 3 people with the same problem here, i do not know if they fixed it or not

prisma pumice
#

hello , do you got some tips for help me to run my game on my potato pc ?

blissful sequoia
#

the resolution scale slider makes a big difference in FPS

#

how potato is it?

solid elbow
#

i just got the game today and when i try to click play on the main menu it loads for a few seconds and then it says failed to download profile[1]

prisma pumice
#

very potato jajaj , i5 2 gen and hd 4400

#

8 ram DDr3

#

its runs at 14 fps but then suddenly the game crash

blissful sequoia
#

It's not the worst potato I've seen, but yeah you'll have to lower the resolution scale I think, maybe also model detail and texture quality

#

Only the video on that is marginal

#

@solid elbow usually restarting steam fixed that error

solid elbow
#

ok, ill try that

#

i restarted steam and when i try to click play it says the same thing

blissful sequoia
#

some people have to restart steam 2 or 3 times, i might be worth just a whole computer restart

solid elbow
#

all right

#

ive restarted steam 2 times and i just restarted my computer but it still says the same thing

blissful sequoia
#

hm well ... what else could it be

#

could be your DNS server, it could be your anti-virus or firewall

#

if you have an antivirus besides windows defender, i suggest turning it off to try again

#

and the same for a firewall, windows firewall is generally fine, but some of the other ones are more strict. some of them come with your antivirus...

solid elbow
#

i only have windows defender

blissful sequoia
#

any non-latin or punctuation in your windows user name?

#

one person got that message because they had another steam game running in the background shrug

#

and then theres always possibly the DNS server. there is a pinned message about how to change your DNS server

solid elbow
#

i went through the firewall and allowed everything in the foxhole folder that wasnt already allowed

#

still doesnt work though

blissful sequoia
#

yea the firewall is usually not the problem, its usually the antivirus or dns server or network problems

solid elbow
#

also im pretty sure my windows username has no punctuation or anything

blissful sequoia
#

some people have like ... parental controls in their router blocking them

solid elbow
#

i dont

blissful sequoia
#

i know the devs are working on the servers this week because of all the network problems

#

you can always test it with a free vpn like tunnelbear and it will determine if your router/ISP is the problem

solid elbow
#

i dont think my router would be the problem

blissful sequoia
#

what do you think it is?

solid elbow
#

i dont know

solid elbow
#

i uninstalled foxhole and am reinstalling it right now

#

reinstalling it did nothing

bleak turtle
#

@blissful sequoia

For the record.

"war service connection failed"

Is caused by not having a security update for windows 10. I opted out of it for a VM test and totally forgot about it till today.

blissful sequoia
#

a windows security update?! wow never would have figured that out

#

thanks samuel, thats useful, im glad you were able to figure it out

solid elbow
#

i want to commit computer shoot

blissful sequoia
#

well you can try vpn

tall pendant
#

does Vsync work in the main menu?

inner basin
#

@tall pendant what does that mean

#

can you change VSync in the main menu? yeah

tall pendant
#

if i put on it doest put 'on' just stays off

#

@inner basin

inner basin
#

VSync only applies in Full Screen mode

terse flume
#

any idea about my voice chat in Heartlands issue?

vestal tinsel
#

Hey, I got a problem. I am not able to hear any voicechat in-game. First I thought it was because of my bluetooth headset but that has worked before. I now use a headset directly connected to the PC but still cannot hear anything. Is there any solution to this problem? I have pressed most options in game I think and cannot get it to function.

blissful sequoia
#

make sure you have the right output device selected in the foxhole voice settings

vestal tinsel
#

I do

#

Its the standard ones to my PC

#

Its directly connected

blissful sequoia
#

any vivox errors?

vestal tinsel
#

What’s that, if you can explain?

blissful sequoia
#

well if there are vivox errors it says which vivox error

#

in the chat window...

vestal tinsel
#

Don’t think so

#

Nope

blissful sequoia
#

ok just old fashioned vivox incompatability then ...

#

uhh the first pinned message has the only hack we know to deal with it

vestal tinsel
#

Thank

hallow thunder
#

Why am I constantly getting 40 second respawn timers?

blissful sequoia

#

Hey so anyone here good with Twitch?

#

@hallow thunder Could be total pop spawn

#

people dying to quick

teal bronze
#

What exactly with Twitch

#

@hallow thunder 4 things contribute to respawn timers
Friendly fire of any kind raises it
Friendly players dying enmasse raises it
You dying rapidly raises it

#

Hi, I have a problem with Foxhole - I'm getting severe (1-2s) stutters intermittently (15-20 mins). Usually occurring while something new is happening on my screen (enemy soldiers appearing for example), but there is no definitive rule. I tried lowering graph settings, no results.

blissful sequoia
#

i get that too. its around the borders

random barn
#

Any way to fix that?

#

@tech wizard help this pal ^

hallow thunder
#

Also I keep losing voice chat and the only fix seems to be closing and reopening the game

vague linden
#

I need some help

#

My VC doesn't seem to work

#

I can't hear other players

spark storm
#

@rustic minnow that could be caused by many things. For example the GPU overheating. Need to know the PC specs and stuff to troubleshoot more, tho I don't have time right now :(

cunning sapphire
#

Same as Barcel and Derp, Going near a border invariably gives me a freeze of about two seconds

fallow herald
#

Hey my VC is super choppy, I tried changing DNS servers already... didnt work

#

nvm I used an audio driver proxy and it started working

vague linden
#

@fallow herald How did you solve the VC problem?

vague linden
#

I have had this problem for the last two days or so

proud schooner
#

So there's a separate menu for VC related stuff in the menu

vague linden
#

Yeah, options

#

I tried it

proud schooner
#

Ye

vague linden
#

Recconect and al

#

all*

proud schooner
#

Changed your output device to your headset?

vague linden
#

Quite a few times

#

Yeah

proud schooner
#

Are you in game?

#

Grab a screenshot of your voice settings for me

vague linden
#

Yeah

#

I am

#

Just a sec

#

Here it is mate

#

@proud schooner

proud schooner
#

noice

#

What kind of headset are you using?

#

Corsair, Logitech, etc

vague linden
#

White shark

proud schooner
#

Is it USB or 3.5mm (headphone jack)?

vague linden
#

It has both

#

But I use the jack

coarse path
#

It a combined 3.5mm jack?

proud schooner
#

Gotcha. Just to eliminate the variable, if you have the USB adapter for it, go ahead and get that plugged in with the headphone. After doing so, you'll probably have to restart the game fully. Then, the Output device on that screen should be different than what it is now (might say USB audio or something of that nature)

vague linden
#

@coarse path No, it has separate parts

#

I'll try it. So I should plug in the usb ?

proud schooner
#

Yep

#

Plug in the USB and plug the 3.5mm into it (I assume it's a separate adapter basically)

vague linden
#

Well I did get a response that I plugged the jacks in

#

But no response about the usb

proud schooner
#

Are you Windows 10?

vague linden
#

Ye

proud schooner
#

If you plug the jacks into the USB and the USB into the computer, do you see a new audio device showing up?

vague linden
#

Btw, realtek and the comp don't recognise it as headphones but as speakers

#

No

proud schooner
#

That's odd

#

Let's go back then. Get everything plugged back to how you had it.

vague linden
#

Wait wait

proud schooner
#

oh

vague linden
#

Plug in the jacks into the usb?

proud schooner
#

yeh

#

I assume the USB has 3.5mm ports on it

vague linden
#

Umm

proud schooner
#

What model headset is it specifically?

vague linden
proud schooner
#

Ooooooh

#

Okay

#

So it has all three. Cool.

coarse path
#

You need both the USB and plugs in eh?

#

Unless you didn't do that

proud schooner
#

Well, the USB is probably for lighting power and/or an amp in the headset as well

#

Now that I see what it is.

vague linden
#

Well everything works without the usb

proud schooner
#

I thought it was an adapter

#

Let's get everything all plugged in where it was

vague linden
#

Okok

proud schooner
#

And once that's done, make sure your audio settings are good.

vague linden
#

I got the mic in and the headphones

proud schooner
#

cool

#

Do me a favor and go into Discord

vague linden
#

Yeah, that works

proud schooner
#

Noice

#

And you hear yourself talking?

#

When you do the test*

vague linden
#

Yeah yeah

#

I do

proud schooner
#

cool

#

Okay,

#

Grab a screenshot of those settings for me

#

I just wanna see the name

#

of the input device

proud schooner
#

noice.

vague linden
#

I think we see the problem now

#

The thing is

proud schooner
#

Okay, so shut down Foxhole completely, and then boot it back up, go to Options and check the device settings

#

(we'll want to make sure to restart Foxhole since we were plugging and unplugging things - not always necessary but can be)

vague linden
#

Okok

#

Well the settings are unchanged

proud schooner
#

I believe you're playing Warden?

vague linden
#

Yes

proud schooner
#

I'm gonna hop into the home region innamoment

vague linden
#

Ok, I'm under the name Matrosee88

proud schooner
#

Sorry got sidetracked

#

When you talk do you see any voice indicators?

vague linden
#

Where should I see em?

blissful sequoia
#

sometimes the realtek sound drivers differentiate between front and back port on desktops ...

vague linden
#

I see something on the right

#

Channel: Local

#

Maybe it is working but I don't have anyone to tell me if he can hear me hahah

proud schooner
#

Hah. Ask around in text local for people to hear you

blissful sequoia
#

you can join operations across all the regions to test

vague linden
#

There is literally nobody here

proud schooner
#

That's a good point

vague linden
#

I'm gonna try that then

#

Good idea

#

No

#

Still nothing

#

I see people are talking but I don't hear anything

blissful sequoia
#

really sounds like the wrong output device, but a few people like this just had to do voicemeeter

vague linden
#

I don't even know if they hear me

blissful sequoia
#

you can type to them that you are doing a test

vague linden
#

Yeah

#

I even talked

#

And said that they write to me in chat if they hear me

#

Actually, I am listed in the voice shat

#

But I don't have that loudspeaker next to my name

blissful sequoia
#

Can you share with us the devices list in the Windows sound control panel in the recording tab? I suspect there could be multiple realtek devices

blissful sequoia
#

Hm. Guess not. What's the stereo mix? I've never seen that

vague linden
#

I have no ide

blissful sequoia
#

And why is it disabled...

vague linden
#

idea*

#

I have to help my old man woth something. I'll be back in a bit

blissful sequoia
#

Well jeez I dunno if Sir has more ideas but if you have game sound, the first pinned message about voicemeeter guaranteed to get you voice audio...

proud schooner
#

Ooooh

#

Line In

#

Enable that @vague linden

#

Right click enable

#

Pretty sure that's your headset

vague linden
#

Will do, just a moment

vague linden
#

I'm back

#

@proud schooner

#

It isn't disabled

#

It just isn't plugged in

#

But the headphones are working perfectly

blissful sequoia
#

hes using an aux in??

#

doesnt explain why he cant hear other people either

vague linden
#

The point is

#

Discord works perf

blissful sequoia
#

@vague linden did you ever read that #1 pinned message?

vague linden
#

Yeah, I just did

#

Should I do that?

blissful sequoia
#

its what i would do if i wanted voice audio

polar marlin
#

(Trust me, you don't want voice audio)

molten solar
#

Anyone having crashing issues?

obtuse bolt
#

I'm getting the "failed to download profile[1]" message. I just bought the game.

inner basin
#

@obtuse bolt Try restarting Steam

#

If that doesn't work, restart your computer

obtuse bolt
#

OK let me give that a whirl. Thanks.

inner basin
#

No problem.

sand charm
#

i got a qeustion i was just looking to the webpage and saw the web page dont have HTTP or HTTPS why ??

random barn
#

I tried emailing the devs, no response, so I'll try again here - I have a problem with Foxhole - I'm getting severe (1-2s) stutters intermittently (15-20 mins). Usually occurring while something new is happening on my screen (enemy soldiers appearing for example), but there is no definitive rule. I tried lowering graph settings, no results.

polar marlin
#

you're lucky you're not getting crashes

#

that's the graphic card failing to render and reseting

vague linden
#

Anyone online?

#

I'm trying to set up voicemeeter

#

I need some asistance

random barn
#

@polar marlin What do I do about it? My GPU is not so bad it would stutter in a game like this. (GTX1060)

spark storm
#

I don't know your exact problem but I have 1080ti and I get stutter when closing on border :D

#

It's not about the 'gpu power' it's just something devs need to fix

#

But if it's happening kind of totally random then it might be another problem and not the border one

vague linden
#

My sound is dead

#

I can't hear anything now in foxhole

spark storm
#

How did it die?

vague linden
#

Idk

#

I installed voicemeeter

#

And it just disappeared

#

I tried reinstalling the game

spark storm
#

Did you restart pc?

vague linden
#

And still no sound

#

Twice

spark storm
#

It has been so long since I used that

vague linden
#

I downloaded that to fix my vc problem

spark storm
#

like what you can do with it is virtual cables then you need to 'connect' those for inputs/outputs

vague linden
#

I did everything which was said in the pinned msg

spark storm
#

there should be easy to understand youtube videos to help how to do it

#

idk what they even say on pinned, let me check

vague linden
#

Yeah, but how do I get sound back to my game

#

Ok, its back now for some reason

#

Lemme check when I turn on voicemeeter

spark storm
#

it's probably cause you had 'wrong' audio output as default

#

so the sound went somewhere else

#

when you open foxhole it'll use whatever is as "default"

vague linden
#

Vc still isn't working

spark storm
#

You can't hear others and they can't hear you? Or does some part of it work?

vague linden
#

Neither

spark storm
#

it's quite odd since you had just fine output / input device in foxhole and you said that discord works just fine

vague linden
#

I just figured that voicemeeter kills my game sound completely

spark storm
#

Yeah cause with voicemeeter you have to set the virtual connections right, it's slightly trickier

vague linden
#

For some reason, when I set it up in foxhole. For output it displays me "voicemeeter input" and vice versa

spark storm
#

I think sir would be better suited for helping you with this as he uses that daily

#

I have to go by memory of somehting I used long time ago :D

#

I can't even try to do it as we go since I'm using totaly different system and things

#

This seems decent "basic" video to make sure you have everything set right

random barn
#

@spark storm I need to check if it happens near borders

spark storm
#

@random barn it's pretty 'common' thing as it loads the other side of the border instantly there so there's the stutter

#

But if you're just experiencing it middle map and like every 15mins or something it's probalby something different..

#

I just haven't experienced these issues or gone through them so I can't be much of help here :p

random barn
#

I'll keep an eye when these happen

#

I've written email to devs, maybe they'll respond too

#

Also, +1 for your avatar ❤

spark storm
#

And yeah that gtx 1060 is good enough to run the game the stutter is caused by something else

vague linden
#

Thanks mate

#

Will try it out

wet cave
#

My game sound is working good but i cannot hear when others speak in game

#

any help tbh? <@&521124241395941396>

inner basin
#

Check your Windows Sound settings

wet cave
#

should i reset the game

rigid vortex
#

Press the reconnect button

#

It’s not uncommon for people to be disconnected from the voice server, you just need to reconnect to it

wet cave
#

pressing that isnt doing anything

worthy jackal
#

.

#

when did i become a tech wizard XD

#

or a think tank

#

cool...

#

@wet cave best way is to change your output device

#

then reconnect

#

if you dont have 2 outputs just reconnect

red vapor
#

hey i am having issues trying to connect

worthy jackal
#

you can either restart foxhole or try again in like 10 seconds and ya should be fine

#

im not positive on this though

opal shoal
#

Hi everyone. I require some assistance as i'm stuck

spark storm
#

If you're stuck ingame use mod mail to contact moderator

opal shoal
#

I used it and am currently waiting for a reply 😃

spark storm
#

Or you can try esc -> return to home island

opal shoal
#

well yeah but i'd like to report the location so they fix it

spark storm
#

You can use ctrl + shift + p to take screenshot of it and post in bug report

opal shoal
#

ah alright .. thanks 😃

spark storm
#

Fuuu,.. I need tech wizard too :D
when you press ctrl + shift + p where does it save the file?
what format is the file?

inner basin
#

@spark storm @opal shoal The shortcut is Ctrl + Alt + Shift + P. It is stored in C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Foxhole\Saved\Screenshots\WindowsNoEditor

spark storm
#

the problem is I'm on linux and I think it's just one of wine bugs that needs fixing

#

cause when I press that game just hangs 1-2s and noting gets generated

inner basin
#

If you do the Ctrl + Alt + Shift + P thing, it should say something in the chat box

#

Linux... I have no idea where'd the screenshots be

#

@blissful sequoia Got any ideas?

spark storm
#

It doesn't but I'm just a derp, was waiting for that message to say something ingame but it was printing all the screens :D

#

So I actually don't have a problem! I just never checked the directory just assumed stuff is broken as it never gave output in chat like it does on normal windows 10 pc

#

which was the whole point for those shots

inner basin
#

Overlay?

spark storm
#

like you know when you take those shots it shows the green on left and other 'nodes'

#

So it's helpful for devs to locate things

inner basin
#

You pressing the buttons all together?

#

It works for me

spark storm
#

Yes

#

And yeah probably does cause you're on native windows, I'm running game on linux using wine and it works pretty much flawless with a bit of tinkering, other than this screenshot feature, which I don't know how to fix as I don't exactly know where to start. I tought I was missing some lib32 but it's actually generating the screens just not the "hud" or w/e you'd call it

worthy jackal
#

is what buttons to press determined on the computer?

lament dune
#

im having a problem with my audio thing, theres no reconnect button, it only says back and refresh devices

worthy jackal
#

send picture?

lament dune
#

sure, just a moment

worthy jackal
#

yeah take your time

lament dune
#

the button just isnt there

worthy jackal
#

have you tried closing and re opening the application?

lament dune
#

yes

#

i reinstalled it as well

#

also, everyone in game when they speak, theyre mics are really choppy

#

its a guessing game to figure out what theyre saying

worthy jackal
#

did you try changing your output device?

lament dune
#

yes

#

should i attempt to reinstall and deletethe folders?

spark storm
#

You could try, they're generated back

#

it's really hard to troubleshoot when we can see that you have just fine output/input and your mic / speakers are probably working on discord

#

I haven't gone into vivox too much so others probably can help you more with that

lament dune
#

its a strange situation

#

where do i find the foxhole folders? so i can try to delete and reinstall

#

nvermind, found it

#

so i have dleted the folder and reinstalled the game, and the button is still not there

tiny lake
#

Anyone else getting disconnect a LOT

normal plinth
#

I'm not sure why, but I don't think I'm supposed to be a tech wizard xD

molten solar
#

I kept on getting crashes a couple days ago

blissful sequoia
#

@spark storm @inner basin isnt the screen shot key just regular p? also why not use steam's screen shot F12

spark storm
#

Cause the ctrl shift p brings more things to the screen that helps devs to do their thing

#

I can take normal screenshots just fine

#

But it doesn't draw the info

woeful tulip
#

someone please help it says my content files are locked, ive had only problems with this game so far on windows and linux

#

(linux i understand but cmon windows )

blissful sequoia
#

content files blocked is probably antivirus

#

or ... or maybe its that thing someone recently told me about

woeful tulip
#

which is?

blissful sequoia
#

ah so ... someone had that because the folder had become read-only

#

have you already deleted the Foxhole directory in %localappdata%?

woeful tulip
#

..

#

ive been having that problem

#

ok ill check it out

#

no

#

what direcotry

inner basin
#

Are you installing Foxhole for the first time?

woeful tulip
#

yup

blissful sequoia
#

Foxhole directory

woeful tulip
#

where?

blissful sequoia
#

in %localappdata%

#

copy paste that

inner basin
#

C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Foxhole

woeful tulip
#

do i delte that

#

?

blissful sequoia
#

hes ran it once or twice already blade

#

but if its not a read-only config directory, it is probably your antivirus

woeful tulip
#

it was read only..

blissful sequoia
#

not sure how/why that happens

#

i really doubt its foxhole doing it

woeful tulip
#

i still have errors?

#

ill check around osme mroe

blissful sequoia
#

do you?

#

just delete it and try foxhole again

#

but I think your antivirus is too aggressive

woeful tulip
#

delete what?

#

the game?

#

and the game worked the first time until i got ran over

blissful sequoia
#

the foxhole directory, the thing we are talking about

woeful tulip
#

C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Foxhole

#

ok

blissful sequoia
#

yea

#

it's just config files

woeful tulip
#

same error

#

hold up

blissful sequoia
#

try turning off antivirus

#

and delete directory again

woeful tulip
#

ok

#

nah

#

its the same

#

its not virus defence

#

its the game or smthn

blissful sequoia
#

i cannot imagine what is making that folder read-only

#

uhm, you can try just turning off the read-only, do you know how?

woeful tulip
#

i know

#

i do that

#

and it turns it back on

blissful sequoia
#

it's got to be something else like an antivirus

woeful tulip
#

ok

#

there is one more

#

acces denied

#

cunts

#

and im using force

#

@blissful sequoia what can i do if access is denied

blissful sequoia
#

2 possibilities, use security tab, advanced, set owner (and all children) to your account

#

and the other cause is if the file is open already, cant be deleted until its closed

#

(foxhole running in background still)

woeful tulip
#

what

#

security tab

#

first time i heard

#

i have avast antivirus

#

and i cant chut it down

blissful sequoia
#

oh it's avast

#

avast hates foxhole

woeful tulip
#

o

#

it doesnt want to shut down

blissful sequoia
#

yea its hard to shut antivirus down - for safety

woeful tulip
#

ye

blissful sequoia
#

maybe you can make an exception for foxhole

#

but you might have to uninstall it - or figure out temporary disable

woeful tulip
#

aha

#

i see it

#

i restored a file

#

the one that was locked

#

yay

#

its fixed

#

i legit had to click twoce

#

twice

#

and it fixed

#

i feel rarted

#

thx @blissful sequoia

blissful sequoia
#

yea, try not to get run over

woeful tulip
#

xD

honest haven
#

I have a problem where the voice chat output audio is bugged and whenever someone speaks, the audio skips and the sound is distorted. Does anyone know a fix?

arctic talon
#

@honest haven try checking the first post in pinned messages, it looks like that can be the issue

honest haven
#

where do i view pinned messages?

#

oh i see

honest haven
#

When i enable my mic in control panel it bugs out and when i disable the mic, the voice output audio returns to normal

blissful sequoia
#

I wonder if it's a mismatch of the recording vs playback sample rate

#

I think we've tried all that before tho

mighty pewter
#

Hey guys!

#

Is this the place to ask:
What to do when my discord creates lag spikes?

blissful sequoia
#

are you certain its your discord?

mighty pewter
#

whenever i press push to talk my foxhole freezes for like 2 seconds

blissful sequoia
#

is your push to talk button p?

#

you might check your foxhole key mappings, you might be pressing something like screenshot repeatedly

#

if its the discord overlay, then maybe youd have to find a way to fix that or turn it off

mighty pewter
#

no my discord overlay is off and my PTT is 6 and i have made sure it is nothing in foxhole

blissful sequoia
#

i heard somebody describe something similar affected by OBS stream software

mighty pewter
#

it seems to be a rare problem, for I can't find much info on google. Maybe I google it wrong

cerulean sinew
#

Hey guys, is there a way to fix lagging/ cut off voice chat in local and operations ? It's not my mic or my connection since the same people I try to talk to in game hear me fine over Discord.

blissful sequoia
#

@cerulean sinew yea, please check the top pinned message

cerulean sinew
#

Thanks

blissful sequoia
#

@sly anvil is the burned spot on the laptop chassis or the screen part?

#

wires only burn/melt from the inside when you have insufficient power - like low voltage, kicks up amps to maintain current, exceeds wire tolerance

#

but if it's instead being overheated by say ... the graphics chipset from the outside...

#

could be a fan thats not turning or turning slowly or dried/ineffective thermal paste

sly anvil
#

Probably the paste

#

I did a check and it looked pretty worked through

blissful sequoia
#

photos? curious where the burn is

sly anvil
#

It looked burned from the outside.

#

Oh, um, top right section of laptop. Near power button area

blissful sequoia
#

ah so the other side of the CPU maybe

#

or probably graphics chip - is it separate chip or the onboard intel HD graphics?

sly anvil
#

Separate

blissful sequoia
#

i bet that thing gets hot, does it have its own cooling system?

sly anvil
#

Never using Intel again

blissful sequoia
#

lol

#

you might have to haha

sly anvil
#

No, and I've had cooling problems before. But never something like this

blissful sequoia
#

yea laptops ... heat problems, big time

sly anvil
#

Yep

blissful sequoia
#

so does it have separate cooling? does it share the CPU cooler? is it just totally passive cooling?

sly anvil
#

I think it shares? There are two fans. One was not working when I inspected and I replaced that, but that was on the left...

blissful sequoia
#

Not working oh... Hm

sly anvil
#

It works now

blissful sequoia
#

You replaced it because of the burning smell or previous to that?

sly anvil
#

As part of general maintenance I did when inspecting the burning (so a few days ago). Also de-dusted and such

#

One thing that is peculiar: burning did not seem linked to high power/temp situation

#

I played foxhole earlier today

#

But restarting my computer and this happened

blissful sequoia
#

Got an infrared thermometer? I wonder if it's just residual burning smell, like if you fix an oil leak on a car but spill some oil on it...

sly anvil
#

Hmm.

blissful sequoia
#

Maybe it's a good temperature now, but smells bad...

sly anvil
#

Possible. It was pretty strong though

blissful sequoia
#

Worrying...

sly anvil
#

Exactly

blissful sequoia
#

I wonder if anyone with more hardware experience has thoughts here

sly anvil
#

My hope is that its this wire, the connection between the screen and the laptop

#

I've switched to a desktop monitor now, so I hope I can just unplug it and it'll leave me be

blissful sequoia
#

Yeah maybe that wire is shorted now

sly anvil
#

Time to test

#

Yeah nope nope hope

#

That was bad

blissful sequoia
#

have you googled your laptop model and burning smell? if it happened to you its happened to 1000 people

sly anvil
#

Will try next

#

I really don't want to have to open my computer again unless I have to

blissful sequoia
#

I know, how many extra screws you have now?

sly anvil
#

I have a cup somewhere with all of them, it's a few

#

Several even

#

Anyway I turned it on again (unintentionally) after removing the wire. Smell returned but not too much, might be left over. Still turned it back off to be safe

blissful sequoia
#

😕

cerulean hazel
#

Allod's Bight Server is dead

proud ravine
#

@sly anvil Laptop cooling pad, keep it on full fan blast.
Live dangerously and find a way to hold the laptop up with the bottom part off to see it all working

sly anvil
#

That is definitely an idea, yeah

#

If it starts up again I'll bite the bullet and do that. I'll try it normally first though. Hope springs eternal

chilly scarab
#

Hello I just bought the game and have been having some issues with error one and went through the technical support one by one does any one have any suggestions?

#

(sorry I copied and pasted)

blissful sequoia
#

please check the pinned message about changing your DNS server

#

It could also be your antivirus/firewall blocking the connection

chilly scarab
#

I just tryed it and restarted my machine

#

<@&521124241395941396>

#

I'm at a loss

gritty token
#

Is the game updated? I have to ask

chilly scarab
#

I just downloaded it

#

for the fifth time

gritty token
#

Are you in the US and are you in a dorm?

chilly scarab
#

I am in the US running a up to date windows PC in my house

gritty token
#

Do you know how to change DNS for your computer?

chilly scarab
#

yes I just tryed that

gritty token
#

did you do 8.8.8.8 and 4.4.4.4 by any chance?

chilly scarab
#

not 4.4.4.4 I did 8.8.44 for the second one

gritty token
#

what did you do for the first

chilly scarab
#

8.8.8.8

gritty token
#

do you manage your LAN network?

chilly scarab
#

no I do not

gritty token
#

a possbility is a firewall block for game related traffic

#

a specific port, and also do you have an antivirus?

chilly scarab
#

yes I have malwarebytes and whitelisted the game for it and the firewall

gritty token
#

try disabling it for a few seconds to see if it works

chilly scarab
#

did not work

gritty token
#

turn it back on and check your router for firewall level

#

i dont know the router / modem

#

@blissful sequoia any idea what the error 1 is?

blissful sequoia
#

hmmm no i dont remember

#

theres so many times this has happened...

gritty token
#

back to the need for what the error codes mean lol

blissful sequoia
#

but we know its a network problem i think

gritty token
#

any idea what?

blissful sequoia
#

parental lock or something on the router, antivirus that comes with firewall...

gritty token
#

should i ask the devs for what the error codes mean lol

chilly scarab
#

oof

rigid vortex
#

I’ve gotten that exact error twice and restarted the game to make it work. Don’t think that helps at all but it’s weird

blissful sequoia
#

@chilly scarab is this the first time youve loaded the game?

chilly scarab
#

yeah, what little I could find on error one was about how it needed to download files to my computer, and yes this is my first time with the game.

blissful sequoia
#

ok uhh

#

when you go to join, on the top right, does it say Live?

#

just want to make sure it doesnt say DevBranch

chilly scarab
#

no no where does it say live

blissful sequoia
#

on the black screen before you join, top right corner

#

the branch

chilly scarab
#

again no such thing

gritty token
#

have you ever had any issues with other games?

chilly scarab
#

never

#

if you wish to get into a vc and have me share my screen that might help more

blissful sequoia
#

hmm

#

am i crazy about the Live thing?

chilly scarab
#

idk

blissful sequoia
#

i cant test mine now, im mid-game

#

it's a drop-down list on the top right to switch the branch

#

maybe they moved it and i didn't even notice

chilly scarab
#

yeah the only drop down I saw was on the title screen for language

blissful sequoia
#

maybe when you go to deploy then?

chilly scarab
#

same error

blissful sequoia
#

hm

#

ok have you tried turning off windows firewall and antivirus softwares?

#

if it's not that - then it's your router, i think

chilly scarab
#

yeah I turned off both and reinstalled the game only to have the same issue

blissful sequoia
#

i think it's a router setting then

chilly scarab
#

I agree

blissful sequoia
#

one person had that issue from a parental control setting on their router

chilly scarab
#

yes I do not own the router lol

blissful sequoia
#

you can search this channel for the keywords in that message, in the search you put like in:#technical-chat shard failed download 1 the search and scroll through many pages

#

well you can test with a free VPN like tunnelbear

#

i mean if it works for you, you could play throuhg a paid one, they are about $3 a month for a good one shrug

#

but if a VPN works, you can be pretty sure it's the router

chilly scarab
#

ok thanks for the help

#

oh god tunnel bear doesn't work

#

a vpn does not work so Im at a loss of what to do

blissful sequoia
#

well then it must be a local firewall problem

#

or possibly your c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file is messed up...

#

possibly something with steam hmm

gritty token
#

did you verify files?

chilly scarab
#

yes

blissful sequoia
#

its tough because they wont share the server addresses with us

#

it sure seems like a firewall is blocking it...

#

which antivirus do you have, gspiess?

chilly scarab
#

malwarebytes

#

but I already whitelisted it

blissful sequoia
#

whitelisting is not really a good test - its a good solution, but a bad test

#

because we dont really know if you white listed it properly, foxhole might do something irregular

chilly scarab
#

ok

blissful sequoia
#

and it could also be that you accidentally switched it from Live to DevBranch without realizing it

#

I guess i will rejoin and find the button

#

yea its still there for me. Before you click play button, up in the top right there is a select box

#

there is a button next to it that says Change

chilly scarab
blissful sequoia
#

yea it cant even get the news, its definitely being firewalled

#

avast and avg seem to hate this game

chilly scarab
#

yeah I just reset the ports for the third time lol, still didnt work.

blissful sequoia
#

what is resetting the ports?

chilly scarab
#

port 433 in the firewall so its not blocking it or the steam matchmaking servers

blissful sequoia
#

the windows firewall usually does not block outgoing ports (except for blocked applications). and the port would be 443 I think

#

but opening exceptions is not a good test, youve got to turn the firewall off for a test

chilly scarab
#

I just tried that and no luck

blissful sequoia
#

I don't really know then. Deduction leads me to being a software firewall doing it, but I don't have any other ways to test that

#

they wont do much without one to try to help you fix it

chilly scarab
#

anyway thanks for the help

#

Ive been at the problem for three hours now

terse flume
#

how can i solve this problem

#

I can't play the game

inner basin
#

Hi @terse flume can you try

  1. Restarting Steam, if that doesn't work then
  2. Restart computer
#

Is this your first time playing Foxhole?

terse flume
#

yes

#

I've done it all. It's the same.

inner basin
#

Do you see news cards in the main menu?

#

What's your main menu look like?

terse flume
#

I bought it two days ago, but I still haven't got it.'

#

It just says it's an error and it can't be executed.

inner basin
#

Gonna need specifics 😄

terse flume
#

So I got a refund today.

inner basin
#

😦

#

Aw, sorry I wasn't able to get an opportunity to help you out

#

I mean, I'm sure it could be fixable

terse flume
#

k

blissful sequoia
#

it's too hard to diagnose any network problems with no server info

#

if they cant be solved easily i just give up on it, they need to make a #bug-reports and bug the devs

tall pendant
#

brisk ruin
#

I can unable to hear any voice chat

#

In game

#

When I join operations there is no mic icon next to people

#

Even when they are talking

paper fern
#

@tall pendant Nope, sorry.

#

@brisk ruin Try reconnecting in the options menu if you haven't already. If that doesn't work a restart may be necessary.

brisk ruin
#

I tried everything

#

Even voice meeter

#

It doesn't work

hollow sand
#

Can anyone confirm where the best waterfalls are in the game? I'm working on something.

inner basin
#

paper fern

Hi, I was wondering if a mod could switch me to another faction.

terse flume
#

@wooden sluice Send a message to @coarse trail , you will be temp banned, for if im not mistaken 18 hours, to prevent you from leaking intel to the other faction

wooden sluice
#

Thank you :^)

hollow sand
#

@fossil estuary , @inner basin Thanks those were the 2 i knew about as well 😃

chilly scarab
#

uhh remember me? the game works on my laptop

blissful sequoia
#

mhm its local firewall probably

#

whats the difference of software between the 2...

chilly scarab
#

If we can find that the game might work on my main

#

prob the firewall settings

#

I'm going to restore firewall settings to default

blissful sequoia
#

it might some another firewall..

chilly scarab
#

yeah it didn't work resetting the firewall

blissful sequoia
#

do you have malwarebytes on both machines?

chilly scarab
#

no, but I uninstalled it and tryed again earlyer

blissful sequoia
#

Maybe it leaves something behind...

chilly scarab
#

but from what Ive learned it is of no importance

blissful sequoia
#

maybe it has polluted the c:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts file

I was moving my pc so i couldn't answer

#

So
Did the gpu guy fix his stuttering ?

chilly scarab
chilly scarab
#

I'm sorry due to the errors that the game has I will be refunding it. While the game is good and has much potential this error persists since 2017. I will come back to the game when it is fixed but for now the devs are losing out on both money and reputation.

downloading wire shark now just to fiddle

Just bought the game and have a game breaking issue. Everything is frozen and menus don't update unless I tab out and back in.
So for example, when I start up the game and click options, nothing happens, but if I tab out and tab back in, then the options menu will appear. The same idea applies once I am actually in a server as well. I can't see people actively move or anything, but if I tab out and back in then it will update momentarily.

#

Verified files and it didn't fix it. Updating GPU drivers now to see if it fixes it.

sly anvil
#

Foxhole is suddenly not responding to anything I do

#

I can't even hit esc

blissful sequoia
#

@noble pier the fix is setting the resolution to minimum and back up again. have to use alt+tab to do it

#

so alt+tab in the foxhole menu (it's clumbsy, but you can figure it out) and set the resolution to minimum first, then back to your preference

Anyone can advise on voice channels - Can hear voice through monitor but if I use a headset instead I can hear game sound but no voice channels??

fair pawn
#

if i found a cheat/mod/hack for the game, where do i report it?

inner basin
#

to me 😉

#

jk, should probably DM @coarse trail or DM @hot oak directly

#

@fair pawn

fair pawn
#

ok thanks

tawny sphinx
#

Futher to the above and the audio problem I'm having - seems to be that Hyper X Headset connects into a small hub (sound card in) and then into the PC via USB and this is when I can not hear chat ingame. If I remove the hub and plug directly into the aux (minus USB hub) then I can hear chat in game. Only problem with this is I can now not use mic. Anyone else come accross this? May just need to buy new headset

blissful sequoia
#

check the first pinned message

tawny sphinx
#

@blissful sequoia thanks for the info, have given it a try but still having the same problem. Thanks again

blissful sequoia
#

if that doesnt work, then your mic not be working

#

it works in other applications? youve checked?

tawny sphinx
#

I cant hear people talking ingame, all settings are correct and tried various setups. Im sure its to do with the external soundcard that the headset plugs into as if I bypass this then it works but then im going straight into the headphone jack which does not allow a microphone input (hopefully that makes sense). Think ill just get another headset for this

blissful sequoia
#

@hallow prism restart steam, usually works

#

@tawny sphinx there should be a mic jack with the headphone one. i am surprised. but theres always the 1st pinned message about vivox

tawny sphinx
#

@blissful sequoia only got one jack that can go into the external soundcard which then plugs in via USB or the one jack goes straight into in or output. Will have a look into it more tomorrow. Thanks for your help!

blissful sequoia
#

it does both?

#

well foxhole (specifically vivox voice engine) has trouble with some sound cards. but if you are sure you can use mic and speakers in other apps, then the 1st pinned message will work for you, even though its not an ideal solution

spring cove
#

Hello im having an issue getting ingame im stuck at loading after clicking the play button

blissful sequoia
#

blissful sequoia

dire patio
#

Yo, how do i get my ingame mic working, it works fine on Discord but i think the chat service Foxhole uses is garbage

#

Haven’t been able to use it for a month and a half

#

In foxhole

blissful sequoia
#

ack failed to download shard info ... yea thats a bad one these days

#

i think its antivirus software doing it - the firewall part

#

do you have AVG or avast installed? some antivirus other than windows defender, @spring cove ?

spring cove
#

Bullgaurd

#

gunna have a play with it

blissful sequoia
#

i would recommend disabling it for testing

#

not just an exception - totally disable it for testing

spring cove
#

just noticed my computer was attacked XD

#

so that could of done it

#

well attempted

blissful sequoia
#

eh?

#

probably false alarm

vagrant herald

hey guys ive been searching for hours on how to play this eith an xbox controller because at the moment thats all i can do any advice?
(tumor on my brain makes it so my left side woncth keyboard

polar marlin
#

I....I'm not sure how will you do the aiming part.

fervent latch
#

the game needs WASD for charcter movement, spacebar to climb, Shift to sprint, plus Q, E, Z. so all left handed
can you place the keyboard far to the right of your mouse and switch right hand between mouse and keys?

blissful sequoia
#

some sort of programmable mouse with lots of buttons ...

#

steam controller can be mapped to play the game though

#

its quiet good, but a little clunky because the game is not designed for controllers mostly

vagrant herald
#

OK

blissful sequoia
#

steam controller has gyro - you could use that for aiming and the pad for moving

#

the triggers have a soft and full pull, also, so you can make it aim with soft pull, fire with full pull

vagrant herald
#

only got xbox1

blissful sequoia
#

hmmm

#

it really needs precision for the aiming - a mouse or gyro/touchpad

vagrant herald
#

i cant even walk cause of wasd

blissful sequoia
#

i think only a steam controller could do it

#

i can actually imagine all the configuration to make it work with just the right side

#

that thing is insanely customize-able

inner basin
#

@vagrant herald I configured my Xbox One controller using a custom Steam profile

#

It's not complete yet, but do you want to see it? I'll see if I can fetch it

#

I do logi with it sometimes when my hand hurts from using the mouse too much

blissful sequoia
#

wow i didnt even know you could remap xbox controllers

#

thats worth checking out

fervent latch
#

If you dont mind switching from mouse to kb, you can remap the WASD and everything to the numeric pad on the right side. You could try that with driving and doing some logi work to fine tune the setup?

Anyone know why my OP chat isnt working, but my local chat is fine?

So, related in some way to the lagged out UI I've reported before: Sitting in a truck at Lord's Mouth TOwnhall. Can hear engine and see others moving. Unable to move or exit car. Please send help

#

This happened once before and the only fix was gettng someone to kill me

#

Assume tech chat better than mod mail in this situation

Hello, i have a problem with choppy voice chat for few past days, i've done everything in the Technical Read First, but nothing helped it. I reinstalling the game a viable solution?
