Hello anyone on that can help me with an error I am getting when trying to start Foxhole?
So what type of files is most convenient to save my recordings as, typical mp.4?
Since the first day I installed the game I get this Shard error #1 and it won't let the game start. I am able to play the other games like this Heros & Generals and the Warthunder but not Foxhole
shard error is firewall problems, or router, or DNS server
DNS server fix is a pinned message in here - firewall or router is case-by-case
Oh man why can't these problems be easy I have run the verification and all was good I have tried to start the game after turning off my antivirus but to no avail
I just played some Warthunder not a problem
I will look into it more when I get back from dinner :) thank you for replying I hope I can get foxhole working
so ive just been playing with huzzah in stonecradle and im not sure what is happening.. but huzzah is muted somehow.. i just spoke to him but now i cant hear him at all.
everyone seems to be muted for me, not sure what to do..
check the pinned messages
or maybe you just set your voice device to the wrong one
i can see the icons of people speaking, i can hear vehicles and people building stuff, but not hear anyone..
it worked perfectly half an hour ago.
try recoinnecting it then
Can I please help ?
I have problem with game luncher. When i trying login to server i see text
"Filied to donwload profile[1]. Plese try again. If the issue persists, Visit our support page."
Ofc i was traing press button many times -did not help.
Game is already reinstall, anoder games from Steam working.
usually restarting steam fixes it
possibly your antivirus then?
Not is already uninstall after this problem.
oof.
Im reinstaling all steam. lets see π
try deleting the settings directory maybe - it's located in %localappdata% and find the foxhole directory and delete it
it should recreate when you run it again
maybe the settings directory for foxhole is screwed up
Ok
Ech.. still problem. I did like you recomended. Any ideas?
reset router perhaps?
already reset. not working π π¦
How do I turn off streamer mode on discord, I don't stream
Turn it off on the top, should be a big purple line going across the top.
permanently forever
ah.. depends if you use streaming software, discord automaticly detects that and turns on streamer-mode.
And I cant turn this off?
Just turn off the setting that auto detects OBS studio in Discord @subtle jetty
admin / mod thingy online atm ?
Any idea?
verify game files or reinstall
using steam...
looks like you have file corruption on some game content file
lets see if it works, first...
it's downloading now 1.8 Gb slow connection....you now.... π¬ π¬
ooof, verifying files would have only downloaded the broken ones
it said "1 file corrupted"
yea π
Yeah it's the .pak file
well, people manage to break the encryption sometimes
that's how you get teleporting satchels
the pak is not encrypted
says live , restarting steam now
didnt work
π¦
i also verified game file already
im going to try and reinstall
disable antivirus if you have it
HELP
Game used to run great, but now it's barely playable
i really enjoy the gameplay i played, but at this rate with all the problems i experienced i might just ask for a refund
What kind of probelms are you expiriencing? @tough rain
is it a FPS problem or a connection problem
FPS it sounds like, he says ~20 fps in the lobby
its a 1050, he was trying to play at ultra.
i recommended ultra is too high for a 1050
Has anyone ever encountered an issue where if you click one of the "Announcement" blocks when foxhole starts up, the game closes, then when you try running the game again it "Can not start" ?
not sure if it closes - the windows for it disappears?
I was swapping screen so when Foxhole was in the startup screen with all those announcemt things and such, when you click the box it closes the game and brings up the browser.
I noticed that this being the second time this happen I should point out that if this is ever done it seems to crash the game, or rather it will not run.
hmm, it sounds like it fails to open your browsers, maybe its crashing
i havent experienced it because i never click those links. but you can avoid clicking them too, the announcements are posted in the #announcements and https://www.foxholegame.com/
Well it was an accidental click. I don't know how to run the game again though
It will not run anymore
Last time I had to reinstall the game
I get a promp that says "Couldn't start: 'C:[insert steam file location]' War CreateProcess() returned 2."
you had to reinstall? woaw.
so open the task manager, it's running in the background somewhere, find it and kill it, or just restart your computer
and if that doesn't work find and delete the Foxhole directory in %localappdata%
Tried to verify the game files also, (Although I did this before with the same result) It's telling me an error occurred while updating foxhole (Corrupt content files) C:[steam path]\Win64War-Win64-Shipping.exe
And it's stuck in a loop
Thank you for the attempt of assistance; I'll have to re-install it to get it working like before. If it happens again I'll just see if I can send a message to someone.
it's not running in the background?
Hmm... yea maybe just verify install files, might be faster than a reinstall - i wonder if antivirus is having an influence on the exe file
I did verify, it caused a loop of error in which the game was stuck verifying and updating and error.
My antivirus would alert me if there was an issue which it has not.
Apperently reinstalling the game did not resolve the issue
It's telling me that the content file is locked
Whenever my headphones unplug, the game crashes. Any known reason why?
probably the sound device. maybe even related to vivox
@silk umbra i suspect your antivirus is in play
if its not microsoft security essentials, then i think it might be causing your locked content file
however you can try deleting that configuration folder again
it has probably become read-only
can anyone here with a good AMD card attest to how foxhole runs on it?
Radeon RX 570 here, runs fine
1080p, as far as I remember I do
I don't think there's been any dips, though I'll boot up the game on tutorial island and check if that's fine
stable, smooth 60+ fps on tutorial island
no hiccups
what about in frontline combat?
with like particle effects flying everywhere and stuff
you notice any dips then?
I don't remember any dips
As far as I'm aware, no issues
the only issue I can say is that the foliage/shadows under trees can be wonky sometimes
but apparently that's a game-wide bug, everyone experiences that
yeah that is gamewide
devs have said before that it drives them mad but they don't know how to fix it
but yeah, I didn't experience any issues with an RX 570
so it should have plenty of power for Foxhole
sweet ty
- Restart Steam
- Check to make sure you are not on a beta build within Steam properties of Foxhole
- Check to make sure the shard at the top left (or right) of main menu says "Live"
@spice pasture
Yep that's why π
Can i change the bind for zooming the map? Scrollwheel broke
Yes you can
already have followed the instructions in #technical-read-firstβ
Β―_(γ)_/Β―
nothing fixed
out of my league then
Which ones did you do
vivox files, so far
Try the DNS one next
I'm not going to do the DNS because our internet provider is fucky
Then the SIP ALG test would be the next step
@sly mortar SIP ALG is true
wheeee
Alright
Access your router control panel
(the website one, probably like 10.0.0.1 or something)
Alright, on the main menu go to "Advanced" and then "WAN Setup"
And the router
But wait like 5 minutes on the router restart
It possibly won't apply correct if you restart too fast / don't restart
Routers are fucking idiotic sometimes
roger
restarted everything, fingers crossed
@sly mortar mission failed
AAAAAAA
Alright
Next step is for you to change the PC's DNS. If you can't do that, then as far as I'm concerned you're likely fucked.
I love foxhole's VC
it's so fun
it really works wonders
COUGH
alright, I'll see if I can change the DNS
no guarantees though
and if I can and it's still not fixed can I petition @hot oak to get the devs to finally move off of vivox
@sly mortar alright, changed DNS to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 as recommended
@sly mortar
after changing DNS
Try clicking reconnect in the voice menu
Then try the highest pin in this channel from me
top fucking kek
You may have to click that repeatedly
Not sure it will be fixed forever
i thought our conclusion was that the voip is using an encrypted protocol and the router can't detect ALG or not
8-6-0, I heard somebody say disabling their sound device and re-enabling it (sometimes a couple times) fixes the 8-6-0, someone on reddit said so
Having my sound Device disconnected causes 8-6-0 for me sometimes
Why has my R key stopped working ....for that last few days I have middlemouse button issue I sorted that by using my nr 6 key on the gamers mouse thunb key for that but now I cannot reload my weapons.?????
Gonna just have to test it that card is dx10 so its a gamble whether it will work as foxhole is dx11.
I'm getting a voice chat Error when I try to talk in game...Please help
nvm it seems to be working now just had to restart thanks
hey i've been having two major problems recently. 1. my game audio randomly turns off midgame, sometimes the audio last 10 minutes, sometimes an hour but it will just randomly turn silent and i have to exit the game to get audio back and 2. whenever i hear anyone using voice chat its extremely choppy and i hear about evry other syllable so i can't undertand anyone most of the time. I already tired the thing where you delete the vivox core file, verify game integrity, and restart my computer but that didn't work
check the #1 pinned message in this room
oh sorry, ill go to bugreport
yeah
oh im sorry, it's the #2
there's a new #1 i didnt know about. read the second pinned message
@quaint rampart
'cant load shard info' played foxhole for ages never had this before, now whenever i click play it just says 'loading....' for ages then 'cant load shard info'
ive reset pc, allowed 433 or 443 through firewall port etc
verified game files
Is it the border crossing or the menu bug? @kind socket
menu
i press play on the main main menu and i cant get into game
failed to load shard]
going for uninstall/reinstall now
okay fixed
Starting the Game
A Error appears:
I like the type of the Error...."LowLevelFatalError"
Low Level Fatal....^^
@hot oak some idea?
did you try google
@karmic whale Yeah thats a common crash for UE4 not just our game. Do the usual steps. Verify cache. Update all drivers. Try deleting the foxhole folder in appdata and reinstall
Ok ty
most of the info we from tech get is from ark survival and fortnite forums
sacrifice the neighbours cat
thank god everyone is using the same engine
Does anyone use Kdenlive?
trying to figure out why it chews up all of my ram, using 12gb
maybe it uses that much - is it crashing or anything?
Crashed itself once and lags the shit out of my computer, cpu usage is about 58% disk is 40% and memory is 90-98%
oh that sounds bad, mine isnt usually over 15%
maybe there is a corrupt data/media file, have you verified game files or reinstalled (if your bandwidth allows it)?
or perhaps deleting the Foxhole directory in %localappdata% to clear the config files
Kdenlive is the problem not foxhole lol
When rendering videos to edit does it chew up ram?
It's a 43m flv file
yea thats compressed AF, it has to decompress it into RAM to work with the frames
I use Kdenlive, and yeah chews quite a lot, rolling with 32gb and it's still "full" cause of all the editing software and stuff :D
i do my editing with scripts in ffmpeg, and it uses almost no ram but its incredibly hard to make small edits...
I do use matroska instead of flv
flv has its advantages...
Yeah it does
but outputting in h264 is sooooo 2012
If I was streaming as well I'd probably go with flv too
But honestly I don't even know what's "the best" nowdays, I just have old habits
i find best is vp9 + vorbis in webm container
h265 + aac + mkv is a good format for offline videos
but that was back before i had discord nitro, so now its just AVI 
Mm, I kinda do nothing more than just buffer of X minutes like 5min and then when something happens press button to save it later on cut out random crap and pile them up as youtube video or such
Tho I guess I haven't made video in year or something soon :D
I lied, youtube says 5 months
yeah I do the same, but then sometimes I'm trying to fit a clip into 8MB
hi i got a little problem. Im streaming the last 3 days and it works well for my machine and bandtwith. Now i got a problem. When im in homeregion everything works fine, but when i log to any region, i am jumping forward every 2 secs while running. as if i whould have a bad ping or packet loss.
normaly i whould say that this is my upload bandtwith, but it worked yesterday and i didnt change anything. lowering the resolution doesnt fix it. even at 240p i have that effect, but its not that frequent. what could it be?
im using xsplit
is it like that when you arent streaming it?
Emm there is a thing, in terms of graphics everytime I turn the shadows to medium the game starts to get the fps as worst as never and also the camera starts shaking without control, there is any way to fix that?
@spark storm Okie so when my videos transition from clip to clip my audio stutters hard
pretty much everything
Or if anyone else has any ideas
the final rendered video has stutter?
like preview?
nvm fixed it
Hmm, if you're previewing high resolution stuff with weak cpu this happens as it can't do it real time and you should use proxy files
e.g. 1440p or 4k then you'd use proxy files that are 720p or lower just to see what's happening on lower resolution as it's easier to process, do the edits and after apply on final high resolution footage
Might be something else too, like you said you fixed it, but that just comes in mind as first :D
no then it is fine
@blissful sequoia
its not like that when i just record or in homeregion, but it is like that when i stream on 240p or 360p. my normal res is 720p
What's the problem?
You mean it's so pixelrated or something?
You need to increase the bandwith that goes int' the "resolution container" like your flow is too small
post from yesterday^^

im using xsplit
Lets see
I'd say it's the internet, like whatkind setting you're using? I haven't ever used xsplit and don't know how good it is, I'd recommend obs :D
Could be processor
yeah that was my next step. ill try if obs has the same problems. everybody says its better
Could be
Basically, when video is recorded by Xsplit or whatever, it still needs to be compressed and sent out
BE AWARE THOUGH
Yeah obs is great tbh, xsplit might be fine too, hard to say when I havent used it
yes could be processor, but i dont get how it worked 3 days and now it doesnt^^
Some modern NVIDIA and AMD graphics cards are capable of processing video for streaming themselves
Instead of making the processor do it
But you do have to enable it in your software
yea nvec is great
960 nvidea
I assume
That's older than one I had
not older
newer
And the one I had supproted NVENC
yea it's new enough to support it
Hard to say on xsplit :D
I didn't read the article, but it could be what you're looking for
That probably helps
nice thx
There are more things I'd like to ask
"jumping forward when running"
Is that the stream skipping, or is that your game struggling, or what?
the game. looks like bad connection
Could be many things, unfortunately
Looks like you'll have to try many different things
maybe the upload is interfeering with the game
yes
This doesn't happen without XSplit, right?
as soon as i start stream it happens
I'd try streaming on Steam
as in, not permanently
But just to check if Twitch/Xsplit has anything with it
If the issue is gone, then you know that it's not the entire process/concept of streaming
That breaks the game for you
ok good call
ok it happens on steam streaming too, but not every 2 secs its like every 5
hmm yes
When I attempt to play the game it jitters from place to place & I can't stop it
some people say its because the shadow detail is too high in the graphics settings, try lower
I keep getting voice chat error |8| 6-0
The pined stuff is confusing
I donβt understand what to do
Is there a vid or something
no there is no video from us, anyway, maybe there is one on youtube or something
I have heard disabling sound device and re-enabling it fixes the 8-6-0 error, thats what I've heard but don't have confirmation
i bet the vivox thing would work too
I just tryed that
It did not work
Wait am I supposed to restart my computer after I validate my files
i dont think so, it never hurts but probably not needed
#2 pinned message is the one youre looking at?
Iβll try Disabling and re-enabling sound While the game is launched
like the sound control panel -> disable the device and re-enable it, thats what i've heard, anyway...
It worked
@spark storm That would probably make my program a lot more smoother to use, thanks for tip.
The preview of the video was lagging but when I rendered them they were fine; most likely my computer is slow.
can anyone tell me how to get rid of fps drops ?
Download more RAM
Jk thoa it's either the server or your Internet connection
@long blaze ^
Emm there is a thing, in terms of graphics everytime I turn the shadows to medium the game starts to get the fps as worst as never and also the camera starts shaking without control, there is any way to fix that?
we don't know a fix - have heard that complaint multiple times
Thats sad but thanks! π
if you figure anything out, please let us know
I use OBS studio to record gameplay footage on a 1920x1080 screen but run the game at 1600x900, should my output resolution be set to 1600x900?
hi
I'm on ubuntu and I'm trying to get the game run through proton/wine
I can't launch through proton - it either gives "DX11 feature level 10.0 required" error (all versions except last one) or doesn't launch at all (proton 4.11)
And when I launch through wine it loads fine, but I can't play because (with the help of lutris) I get this error
https://i.imgur.com/OLkcE3E.png
Nvidia
drivers are updated
sorry to be so negative, but linux distros will never be 100% stable for gaming because 90% of all games are made with windows in mind, making it so that you have to run some sort of virtualization, which is imperfect
what you could do is find a copy of windows and dual-boot your system
you probably dont have to pay for it either, especially if you had a windows laptop in the past
OR
find a different distro of linux that runs better with proton/wine
and dual-boot it for gaming purposes
idk, I see tons of players reporting the game as working with wine/proton
I'm here to see if anyone here has any experience in that
yes, but normally its intermittent disasters that cause issues that dont get reported
just the fact that it works is great
but there is also a VAST difference in features from one linux distro to the next
which means that one can be geared to be almost perfect for ANY gaming
but if you just pick one off the shelf without looking at compatibility, it can cause issues
i'm noob at linux, but isn't difference between distros is like difference between windows versions? i mean that it's not easy to change and you need a reformatting
you're implying that I can change them as gloves
yes, it is different, and i can say from experience that a program that works well in windows 7 may not work at all in windows 8 or 10
you CAN change them like gloves
get a different drive, or grab unused space on your current one, and install another distro on that
you CAN (but not recommended to) install that alternate distro or windows on a USB flash drive
Yes not easy to change them. They have differences in culture, documentation, how willing they are to break software dependencies for new versions of packages, where they store configurations and which software packages they include by default
I've done Foxhole in proton, it works great, but I had to use the proprietary video drivers not the open source ones, and I struggled to get those to work on all versions of my Linux distro
Because the game needs dx11 support
I'm using proprietary drivers as well, and proton 4.2-9, works great on arch linux. Other than my PC cpu cooler breaking and making me dismantle the whole gaming PC.. but that's another issue :D
And you can't just run through wine cause it needs the steam connection, that's how your account / profile is identified.
Just bought the game and I keep get connection to server timed out every 5-10 mins, it just wont let me play and I've checked my net and it isn't the issue.
sounds like a firewall problem
Why would that be the issue? Before launching the game I already allowed access through my firewall and after the first timeout I even turned it off x.x
oh, hm, then maybe not
Now it just times me out after selecting a spawn location from main base
sorry, it sounded like one with the consistent timeouts, but i dont have other ideas if thats not the problem
oh when you go to change maps it times out?
Yes
i guess it could be the DNS server, but those problems largely seem gone now
when it changes regions it actually connects to a different server, so theres lots of stuff that can break that
is anyone else getting the error "Failed to download profile 1"?
Could someone please help me, ive been getting this error for weeks now and havent been able to play the game
@hot oak
@glad dune try restarting steam, thats what usually helps me with the issue
<@&521124241395941396> ^
cant get in game everytime i launch it just a black screen and doesnt load
@mystic storm did you verify files?
ill do that
yeah do so
@glad dune well for one I donβt think tagging devs gets you anywhere, and for two when do you get this error
@glad dune Make sure the firewall isn't blocking your connection path with the game. It might also be caused because of some antivirus software blocking outgoing/incoming packages.
i get this error when i click play on the main menu
Try disabling firewall/antivirus and try logging in. Make sure don't have anything else running in the background too, heavy internet usage also causes the game not to login
and i already have my firewall set to accept foxhole
What is your version info at the bottom left and which shard are you on at top right?
Let me double check if that's the live build
@torn rampart i appologize, on the foxhole support page says to message KFC not to tag him in technical chat my bad
yea maybe even months now havent been able to play at all
i tried verifying files, unistalling the game reinstalling it
Alright the shard seems to be the live one, I think it's a internet issue
Did you try completely removing it?
You said you checked firewall, do you have any sort of antivirus software installed?
Like, uninstalling, going into appdata and where ever it was stored and deleted everything?
Related to foxhole/clapfoot of course
havent done that nero
Iβd try it
Is it possible for you to use another internet service such as your mobile internet just to check if it's your own internet is causing the problem?
Gotcha
I see, that means there's a problem with your modem/router
ive played foxhole on my wifi for a while before this started happening
Well at least @frank zealot knows what they are doing lmao
I'd suggest taking a look into this list and doing the modem related ones https://discordapp.com/channels/203512636556574720/374272127953666048/497631515316846602
- Restart internet Modem and/or Router; May be a good idea to perform #3 after
- Verify all ports used by Steam are open on modem/mouter firewall as well as any 3rd party firewall hardware: https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=8571-GLVN-8711 ; Follow #4
- On Wi-Fi? Try using a physical (ethernet) connection instead
- On Wi-Fi? Try moving physically closer to the modem/router providing the wireless internet
- On Ethernet? Reseat the ethernet cable on both sides; perform #4 as well as #3
Article "Required Ports for Steam"
If this isn't the case, something might be blocking your incoming/outcoming packages in your PC. Have you installed any sort of programs that might interfere with your internet connection lately?
Btw @inner basin anything else to add on foxhole working on mobile hotspot but not on actual modem?
BladeRikWr is AFK: Preparing for University move in - 3 hours ago
@glad dune You can actually try using proxy for your connection
One second
Sorry, DNS
Just change IPV4 DNS to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4
this is kinda chinese to me
@glad dune It's quite easy, just watch this video after 2:20 mark

Hi i have a problem were im getting something that says "failed to download profile[1]" I was wondering if you could help
usually restarting steam fixes that
otherwise it could be your firewall or antivirus
when i get failed to download profile (because i lost connection for few seconds) i always keep pressing until it works
For some reason something keeps messing with my mic's volume level
I turned of my fire wall then restarted my computer and that didnβt work
Have you checked that you have opted out of all betas and in top right you got live selected? @cold hill
Yes
Iβve in uninstalled and reinstalled it
No dice
Could it be blocked through the router?
yes
fixed the problem
there is a bug with a thing called my circle which was blocking it even in unrestricted mode.
my circle? firewall?
oh on the router
each foxhole region is a different server so its weird
AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHh

@terse flume DM @coarse trail, the mods should be able to help u
ty
Not able to see #updates or #announcements anyone know why
they have different icons, the megaphone icon instead of #. no idea what that means
@robust vine try updating the discord?
tom said it was a bug he couldnt see on mobile, too. yea maybe a restart of the app
i had similar problem before, and it was fixed after i updated the app
Nailed it, works now thanks

Yeah I havent updated for like 6months
When clicking into home region, my game runs for 5 - 10 seconds, then crashes with the following error message. Any thoughts? My computer meets the minumum requirements, and I tested on a computer that does not meet the requirements and it still worked (just laggy).
there is not much info in that error message. perhaps there is a log file in the %localappdata%\Foxhole directory there is a crashes folder I think with more detailed logs (sometimes)
but perhaps a new update mangled your config files or data, you might try a reinstall including deleting the %localappdata%\Foxhole config directory also
Great thanks, I will try both
No luck, I have the logs. Should I post here or handle this thru private message?
yea if you can post them here its better because more people can see them
preferably as "upload file" rather than a wall of text
then again, it's been a while since last message
can u die instantly from bleeding out
yes, but ask these kinds of qustions in #386353469776330762
When clicking into home region, my game runs for 5 - 10 seconds, then freezes. Any thoughts? My computer meets the minumum requirements, and I tested on a computer that does not meet the requirements and it still worked (just laggy). The memory looks like it keeps resetting, going from 1 GB to 4 GB to 6GB, then back to 1 GB to 4 GB to 6GB, cycle keeps repeating. I attached the log file, please help, thanks!
War2 log is from the crash folder
i dont seen any crashes in either log .. hmmm
Yea I can still alt + tab out of the game, but the game itself freezes
Nope the screen freezes after 5 - 10 seconds and never moves after
hmm could it be a firewall or antivirus thing? maybe the signature of the file has changed since the last update and its triggering something
its odd that it happens after 5-10s during a region change, so it's obviously loading the map data fine
but that is when it's switching servers, so thats why im suspicious of a firewall/antivirus
And I wonder if it would be any easier to see if there's an error message popup if it's in windowed mode
<@&521124241395941396>
I can player for a few minutes and then I get, "Failed to download shard" [Error: 1]
i think the failed to download shard thing is also firewall or antivirus
yes i got something simliar
with firewall/anti virus removed and windowed mode
the RAM keeps going crazy, 1 to 4 to 6, constantly repeating
you should probably file a bug report, flume. no error messages, reinstall doesnt work, this is nearly impossible to troubleshoot
cool thanks, i appreciate your help
Hi, I'm having the following error message after I choose a faction and click "deploy", ""Lost Connection to Server. Please try again. If the problem persists please try refreshing the server lists." I played the game about 3 weeks ago before the recent update also. How to fix and play please?
check antivirus or firewall software
Only have windows Defender; made sure Foxhole app was being allowed through the Firewall and even turned off the Firewall on all types of connections for good measure. Same Error when I try to deploy, "Lost Connection to Server. Please try again. If the problem persists please try refreshing the server lists."
hmm are you on the Live branch? not devbranch or FCL?
that might be why
or you might be pegged to a specific version, like the last version
I am on the Live Branch, and I just tried switching to the FCL and it still didn't work.
The error message comes after I hit play , choose a side, and I click "deploy" on the screen where it shows casualties on each side during the war.
I also just tried uninstalling/reinstall and no effect either.
you can also try deleting the config directory which is the Foxhole directory in %localappdata%
As for the version it says "Alpha 0.28.10.2 27500" in the bottom right corner of the main menu screen
will try that now
Ok I deleted the "config" folder I found in Appdata>Local>Foxhole>Saved>Config
unfortuntaltey this also did not resolve the issue; Same Error when I try to deploy, "Lost Connection to Server. Please try again. If the problem persists please try refreshing the server lists."
hmmm...
in the steam properties for the games, the beta tab - is it selected to any version besides none?
really reaching here...
it could also be your router - with some sort of parental safety feature or protection mechanism
says, "none - opt out of all beta programs" in the beta properties tab
ok thats the right one... jeez
i suspect maybe the router then
if youre wondering how could it change - well they change servers sometimes, so if its at a new location maybe its being flagged now
will restarting it work? I was able to play a few weeks ago
im not sure, i would suspect a weird router setting
i suppose you could test it by using a free vpn like tunnelbear
if youre able to connect through a VPN then the problem is 80% your router
or a test with mobile tether or w/e
gotcha; I'll see about doing such a test. Gonna restart the router first just becuase that seems so much less effort lol.
ok, fair
Oh mobile tether I do all the time; 1 sec
Ok it worked and I was able to log in with the Mobile-Tether internet connection
Guess that confirms what you said that it was the router xD
Thank you for the help!! I guess I can call the router company to see if they know what the issue is; thanks again!
if you have the router password, log in and poke around
see if you see anything for parental guards, something obvious
Will do; if I find the particular setting that is responsible I will report it back here
ok, feel free to check before you flip switches 
i suspect it will be something like parental guard tho
something about internet safety...
does any one have issies with sound? i cant hear anything
you cant hear voices either?
I'm having trouble with my voice being choppy when I use the push to talk. mic settings are fine and work elsewhere (discord, etc.) When the game is running my windows toolbar has the windows microphone icon on it flashing on and off, which seems to coincide with the choppiness of my voice to other players.
check the #2 pinned message in this room - see if it's that problem
I keep crashing about once every 10 minutes and getting the following message
Fatal Error: [File:Unknown][Line:200]
Unreal Engine is exiting due to D3D Device Being Lost.
(Error:0x887A0006-'Hung')
hmmm perhaps the same problem darius had
incompatible driver + unreal engine; his solution was rolling back to older drivers
also possibly heat issues - have you checked that?
@blissful sequoia my DNS was already set to Google's addresses to fix another game, so that's not it. I also checked my drivers, and which devices the game used, and checked the steam voice settings. Still can't be understood by other players.
thanks for your help so far
what? no not the DNS - the one about vivox
and voicemeeter
its a pretty common problem
from 6/23/19
Thanks. I'll try it tomorrow. I didn't realize that was a fix. Seems a workaround though. If voicemeter can fix it, they should be able to fix Foxhole using the same methods.
yes it works
yea i think several people have filed bug reports
feel free to add one tho, maybe they can identify which hardware causes the problem and get one to test and fix it up shrug
i think it is very low priority
okay i have a problem. i start the game but it wont start. it says im in game but there is nothing else
Anything new about, figuring out Intel hd graphics problems?
could my problem be my firewall?
maybe or virus-scan
im verifying the game catch in steam and i also disabled both foxhole things in my firewall
Hey can anyone tell me why my settings keep reverting back to default when i start the game?
changing your steam name?
possible your antivirus has flagged the directory and made it read only
can try deleting it to let it be recreated by deleting the Foxhole directory in %localappdata%
Yeah the latter worked
Can you also tell me to change the resolution do i just hit apply or do i need to apply and log?
just apply i think
but you cannot change resolution in windowed fullscreen, or windowed - it has to be fullscreen for that
you can change the resolution scale though, which is the slider
Right right ok thanks brother
yep
so i have a problem. Every time i try to play the game it says failed to download profile
have you restarted steam yet?
ill try that
it didnt work
could be firewall or antivirus then
well we think windows defender works fine
but if you have a different one you can try disabling it to see if that corrects your problem
sometimes antiviruses include a firewall, but the windows one works fine if thats all you have
well because they dont share any specifics in that error, i can only give you ideas of what could be wrong
if its not steam, and youve already restarted computer, if its not the antivirus or a firewall software, then it could be your router or your internet provider
ok
you can test the network with a VPN like tunnelbear or a mobile tether
if it doesnt work through those - then its something wrong with your computer. if it does work through another network then the problem is your router or your internet provider
ok
Has anyone got any ideas about how to fix the "Connection to server timed out" problem when traveling between map regions?
I've tried a bunch of things (reinstalling, defragging, etc.) from the pins and other messages in here about the same problem
it's a network problem
i'm always suspicious of antivirus or antivirus that comes with a firewall
and if not that - then your router might be the cause, or internet provider, or DNS server
oh, also, are you on the Live shard?
yes, I'm on the live shard
running windows defender/windows firewall for antivirus
ok then i am suspicious of router/ISP
you can test that with VPN like tunnelbear or mobile tether
does the error happen every time for you? will you know if its solved right away?
also the DNS server - you tried google? (8.8.8.8)
btw I tried the link you posted near the "how to install" pin (https://s3.amazonaws.com/clapfoot-test-bucket/test.json)
how do you test that?
sometimes it works fine, most of the time I get the error
when I don't get the error I can play without problems (did logi for like 6 hours yesterday) but got kicked when I tried to move a truck to a new region
oh that link is no good anymore
oh ok
uhh there is a pinned message about changing the DNS server
DNS server converts domain names into IP address - sometimes the servers give the wrong address for whatever reason
but we know google's dns server works for foxhole
so you change it to 8.8.8.8 on your computer, check the pinned message for more specific details
oh okay! I'll try that
i figured it was not applicable since my voice works fine once I'm in
i suspect a vpn will work for you in either case
as long as it's not some piece of software on your computer causing it..
thanks @blissful sequoia tried the DNS thing but it didn't work
borrowed my roommate's laptop (similar specs to mine), installed Foxhole and was still getting the same problem
gonna try VPN
and connection timed out, bleh
whos awake?
You do need to include ALT as well
For some reason left shift does not work for me
And I have to use the right one
Thanks @spark storm
That's odd, at least it works! :D
What is the app that helps targeting
Aimbot.exe?
Or do you perhaps mean this?
http://www.foxhole-arty.com/
A simple artillery distance and azimuth calculator
lmao i love how Moxie immediately suggest aimbot
<@&521124241395941396> looking for some help with voip not working for me
@little bronze it's better to just state your problem then to first ask for help
@clear grove Voip not activiting with PTT, tried the DNS & other fix in the links provided but no avail. Headset is hyperx cloud. Issue seems to be the mic icon not appearing over the head which means I cannot transmit.
issue is very vague so just looking for some known solutions to fixing voip
solved it
any idea why the foxhole process would start but not the application >?
@lavish token Iβve had that happen a few times, sometimes restarting the pc helps, other times I can wait it out, itβs weird
I'm working, what's going on?
This player has been having voice chat issues for 700 of his 900 hours in game. i set down to help him for the last few hours however nothing is working.
What have you tried so far?
we tried, checking all the ingame settings and sliders, clearing the steam cache, updating the headset driver, disabling all other audio devices, checking steam voice settings, and deleting the VivoxCoreLibrary
and reinstalling the game
and verifying the files changing the DNS
@terse flume Okay, the last thing you haven't tried is the second to top pin in this channel
It's a workaround for a number of bugs which we don't know the solution to, and works most of the time
dxdiag
Used to play this game and stopped playing for like 6 months. Came back to this, don't really know how to fix it. I tried some of the solutions but nothing really helped
Checked my antivirus as well -- its not restricting anything from Foxhole.
I'll run the game using a vpn and see if it's just my internet provider.
@tall magnet Try restarting steam fully
Does anyone know why someone's game would consistantly stutter regardless what graphics setting it has then randomly and/or whenever manually closed, it gives you something called a Fatal Error?
A Side note, When I validate files I get 1 damaged file in the report.
@leaden star went through everything in pinned messages just checking
Even when I re-enter the game after the file validation it is still suffering this Error
Thats fine
I'm hoping this gets fixed soon....thanks to the steam community for figuring out how to fix this! ARC System Works, please update the game where this doesn'...
It does the excat same thing D:
As far as I know I shouldn't have any overclocking programs on my PC
I've never downloaded any overclocking stuff
I guess my best chance is to delete the App data
I would wait until the devs respond
Okay
(you let them know right?)
Yeah I'm starting to get the Fatal error message while playing too
And I don't even have a proper graphics card, mine is integrated in my machine
@terse flume this is the third person I know of in 2 days that's starting to get "fatal error ue4" messages. Sorry for the ping. This is just in case this suddenly affects a bunch of people and you guys can do something about it.
My micro is glitched in game, actually the whole voice is, everyone sound like: he..llo im a sol.... di.... er
when i load my game up
its blackscreen
my friend is telling me that
im not sure what to do for him i am tech support
but i havnt ran into this
<@&521124241395941396>
Has he tried verifying the files
Please do
@opaque crown yeah it does that to me all of the time, just takes its sweet time lol
so do the devs noticed the HUD missing after border travel?
Yes, altough they probably apreciate more info on reproducing it
A dev reacted to your bugreport
Looking for a new video editing software, something free preferably
Currently reviewing Filmora and Davinci 16.
Any opinions?
do you want to make advanced things ?
I have a question to the support page?
Filmora sucks, get Lightworks
I tried to do cuts in a video with Filmora, it took me an hour to snip he individual parts from the original video and paste them back into one
During the course of yesterday and today, my game has been telling me that it failed to download my profile and idk why.
After restarting steam next step is checking that you are out of all betas and on the live shard
but i'm an alpha male, what are you suggesting?
I want to turn down my resolution scale so that the game runs easier on my computer, but the change never takes effect after hitting "back" from the graphics menu
Ok wtf it suddenly worked
currently looking at Shotcut, gonna try it out. I tried davinci but I had problems with installation
I have a friend who is having problems with foxhole, after 5 minutes the notebook monitor turns off. GPU temperature before switching off was 79 Β°. This problem only occurs with foxhole. The other games run normally
@pallid tangle semi advanced yeah, I wanna use a lot of effects and want them all built into the software
@pallid glen I'll check out light works if I dont like shotcut
It has a bunch of built in effects like shake transition, title clips and reverse play?
that, and audacity because my snowball black ice sucks big ass
Hmm I dont wanna have to get a program to go with another program xD
lol
i use audacity for sound processing
if you need sound processing inside a video editor, go pay for one
but if youre just doing straight video shit, go for lightworks alone
Pshh sound processing, nah y'all can listen to my poopy recordings, they work well enough
@subtle jetty i use shotcut
Can I incessantly bother you about my questions rather than google them?
Also what's your youtube I wanna see π
It's free and you have (at least for me) enough feature
Hmm i posted some video on the FOD so
Mmmh i your vidΓ©o and i think you want to make some more advanced things than i thought
Maybe shotcut won't be enought π€
I am trying it right now, I use mostly simple features but I want things like animated text and pan and zoom , shake effect transitions
Okay so what do I render my video resolution as if I play the game on a 19x10 monitor using 16x9 resolution?
mmmh in shotcup you don't have a smooth zoom btw, (yeah it miss me too)
i don't know about the video resolution :x
I have had a lot of issues with voip lately. People cant understand me, they say its choppy. Sometimes I hear people choppy as well. Discord chat is fine no issues. Any way to fix?
I always hear people so choppy
Its really annoying on a multiplayer game
Hoping the opposite team had as many disconnects as we did
Maybe next year they'll have fixed this probably not.
Hello anyone on who can help me figure out how to fix a Shard Error I keep getting when I try to start the game?
I installed the game about a month ago and still cannot get into the game keeps giving me a Shard Loading error when I try to start it
Bump for Voip fix
@late blade Sorry for the late response, try restarting steam or verifying files.
@robust vine Uhhh, try reinstalling the vivox files (in pinned messages)
Thank you @sly mortar
My game has started crashing the past few days. It comes up with an error that says something like no more video memory. Failed to find terrain image or something like that. Never had my game crash so much. Could my gpu be craping out? Its a gtx970 4gb mem.
Or maybe a bad driver? I will try and update it later
@robust vine probably a driver issue
hello, Im having "connection issues" almost everytime I travel (change maps) in a border. I have to restart the game to make it work again
I am having the same issues Roklo, never had them until yesterday and today
what happened in the last 2 days that has screwed up border travel for me
game crashed again
I consistently get the "Connection to server has timed out" message when border traveling. My location is not saved, so when I reenter the war, I am forced to spawn at a star and lose all items (many radios lost this way). Occasionally, when reentering the war, I instantly get the "Connection to server has timed out" as well. There is also a chance for the game to experience a "Fatal Error" and crash when border travelling.
However, when the game crashes and I restart it, my location and items are saved.
when there will be a VOIP fix? i just cant communicate in game and this suck
@willow shuttle look through the pinned messages. There is one by Icanari for a vivox file fix.
It worked for my voip problem at least
None of the pinned suggestions fix my VoIP issues. I've tried them all. Game needs SERIOUS help with the VOIP. I've mostly stopped playing because of it.
What would it take to add more factions to the game? Like coding wise would it be difficult or easy?
I am just interested in the coding bit for now π
@terse flume Complete rebuild most likely as far as I know. (The dead harvest thing is really janky from what I remember)
Copy paste factions and change some parameters
That is oof.
im having troubles getting into the devbranch so sad,it says try refresing the server all over again
@mystic storm did u download the devbranch version of the game from steam and then selected devbranch start from upper right corner in game, before clicking play?
np
whenever my camera is faced away from my shadow (like so) i get a consistent 60fps
but when i have it oriented so that my guy overlaps my shadow, my fps gets cut in half to 30
any tips?
No idea what is causing the issues, I am having the same problem.
well i know that certain maps caused a bit of a hiccup
also i just recently bought an RX 570 8gb and i still struggle to reach 60 fps consistently
is this game more heavy on the CPU than GPU?
Turn down shadows
shadows in any game will murder your fps
but i want to play with shadows 
Guys any new solutions for the laggy I game voice? Are devs aware of it?
They don't care. Check the pinned message here there is a hack for it
I like shadows
Sun rises east so warden shadows gave away their positions
Pretty common to see for collies
Also what is a good software for cutting out images and making them transparent?
I've not been able to log in due to an error saying "Can't Download profile one". I was playing fine for hours and my game crashed so I alt-f4'd out and steam went into some kind of auto-verification from what I can guess since it didnt download anything just mess around with disc space. I've tried reinstalling it already
@vivid mist that's a fairly common bug, as far as fixing it goes i'm not really sure
Huh Ive never seen it after 400 hours
usually i get it from time to time but i usually just close the pop-up box and click play a couple times; that usually fixes it for me
unplugging/replugging my internet cable in my PC has also worked
I have the same problem as Dyre, tried everything once now to move on to multiples
same issue as Dyre and Rasputin here, 1 successful launch out of 20 attempts, also did the steam local file verification and uninstall/reinstall
servers are probably finnicky with the new update i'd say
or it's a steam server issue
cuz apparently a good handfull of people are experiencing it
probably good for the devs to know about it before the war starts
Same problem here
We're looking into the issue, thanks for the reports guys.
Alright good to know I'm not alone

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
@prisma thistle they working on this
I'm still trying to get in regardless. Glad to see I am not the only one
seems pretty steamwide rn, mordhau servers are down too
update download only came it a 3MB/s on a gigabit fiber connection, could indeed be steam
if it's steam then we just gomna wait steam working on it
I was having issues connecting to Gears of war 5 servers last night too
We're still looking into it, it's an extremely critical issue as a lot of people can't connect right now. Thanks for your patience π
no worries Phil, glad it is happening today rather than tomorrow π
hehe you're completely right
We've deployed a fix, please try to rejoin
Worked for me, actually loaded faster than i've ever seen it
oof
Just a question. Wasn't it supposed we could change faction and the end/beginning of a war? Or it just changed. Thank you!
Thank you! π
pls help
alright thanks
@lethal sentinel did it just fix on its own?
yeah i just had to witch shard
can i get a help?
my problem is i can hear and talk on the voice chat buts its like this sp...ea...k l....i...k...e th....i....s
read 2nd pinned message in this channel
So dumb question, how can I make sure my mouse doesn't leave the game in fullscreen borderless? Was working fine, then it just started leaving to other monitors.
is it normal for trucks to go below ground then re-appear as you "jump/fall" from a 2-3 meter hight mountain-cliff?

Any fix for this besides switching shards? i tried and still nothing
@sharp dirge make sure you are not on a beta build (within steam settings)
yeah i checked that even verified files
Have a look at the network related pins in #technical-read-firstβ @sharp dirge
Still having the same issue. Did all the network fixes even though my internet is perfectly fine. Still getting the Failure to download profile error.
I did see this was a big problem a few days ago from posts above but i guess it wasnt fully fixed
@sharp dirge did you run the devbranch? Make sure you go back to opt out, and change server version to "live" at the top right on the title screen
Yes itβs on Live. And Iβm automatically optβd out of all Betas
Hi guys, I have a problem: Since a couple of weeks I can only hardly understand others Viocechat, and my mic seems to not really go through.
@severe sparrow look at the pinned post regarding the Vivox fix.
guys my game keeps losing connection, any solutions?
How can I reduce clientside lag?
in terms of fps, thereβs not much you can do beside lower your setting and down resolution
stay away from bushes
@oblique bridge Have you looked at the network related solutions in #technical-read-firstβ
@stable egret
π
Hey
i have a problem with my mic in foxhole, people are saying it is lagging/cutting off my voice (so they cannot understand me/hear me)
i have try a few things myself and the #technical-read-firstβ , but it is still not working.
any ideas
2nd pinned message in this channel explains the only hack
have you tried testing your mic in audacity or something? it could be a hardware issue
its not. its vivox.
friggin vivox
@blissful sequoia Thx for the message it save my day and Foxhole gameplay π π
yea π Sir
anyone else experiencing freezes since patch when aiming ?
you mean like full game freezes or?
yeah just for a sec
not in this War, no
When i do logistics and try to switch regions while doing that the game stucks on a screen which says (trying to reconnect 1/10) but after waiting a couple minutes i can talk, punch walk and do other stuff but the only problem is that screen is stuck and i can see nothing
how to fix that π¦
it's happened to me before; if you're outside your car try pressing e to go back to the region you came from, then try again
if you're close enough to the border you can spam E and it'll take you
if you've wondered off though then you may have to relog
i'm not sure
so any solutions guys?
thats a crash bug.
i think most of us have experienced it, although not every time
any one have a solution to VOIP skipping and lagging? I tried the DNS fix but it didnt work
basically the bug lets people transmit to me but with weird pauses interjected that make it difficult to understand what people are saying.
read 2nd pinned message. maybe scream at devs its been a bug for ... at least 8 months
i think icanari said longer.
Hmmm I know the population count per region was a problem but is there really no way to see number of players per side?
The devs removed per faction counts
keeps people from figuring out where the big surprise attack is going to be
is there a way to get unstuck?

Anybody else having frequent disconnections tonight?
I bought the Foxhole game yesterday, but since I installed it I have been having trouble connecting to the servers, often suffering from connection timed-out and fatal error.
I have no problem connecting to other game servers like War Thunder and Counter Strike.
Still having the same issue... and before any of you say "Switch it to Live" It's on Live.
i'm not sure... it seems though that connection issues are plentiful these past hours though
i just bought this game like 4-5 days ago and this happens everytime
Might as well just request a refund if i can't even play it
@native birch anything going on with the servers?
nope, they seem fine. if anyone's having issues, i'd recommend looking through the pinned messages
There are no Pinned messages about the Failed to download profile. I've uninstalled the game, there are no network related issues. I've verified the files. What else is there to do
I bought the Foxhole game yesterday, but since I installed it I have been having trouble connecting to the servers, often suffering from connection timed-out and fatal error./2
Anyone can help me with this ? I really want to play this game...
@nimble scroll π
Did you check the network-related issues message in #technical-read-firstβ ?
@sharp dirge Make sure you are not on a beta build of the game, such as DevBranch
80% of the time the solution to failed to download profile is just restart steam, otherwise its network problems e.g. firewall or internet provider
@inner basin Iβm automatically Optβd out of all Betas on steam. Itβs a fresh instal of the game right after purchasing it
Yes I've checked @inner basin
