[terse flume]

HI, i have little freezes in game, is there any way to fix this.

[blissful sequoia]

theyre looking

are you also using nvidia, @terse flume?

[terse flume]

yes

[abstract bison]

anyone know how to fix the damn stuttering

[blissful sequoia]

@hot oak says the devs are taking a look

are you also nvidia, acorn?

[abstract bison]

no workaround then?

yep nvidia

[blissful sequoia]

i havent found a workaround, no

[abstract bison]

seems like an nvidia issue

[blissful sequoia]

@abstract bison, @terse flume try joining a squad, it may fix the issue, as posted in #updates

[abstract bison]

Sweet thanks

[exotic quail]

Is there an ETA for a fix for the AMD card driver issue?

I can roll back but I'd prefer not to.

[whole jungle]

Is it just me or is it really stuttery

[blissful sequoia]

its stuttery.

possible fix is to join a squad

[terse flume]

I don't know English I want to change my team I want to work with Korean friends I've chosen the wrong team Help me This is a Google translation Google is the best

[winter patrol]

I can't connect voice chat correctly after last update

[winter patrol]

I tryed to reconnect, what should i do next?

[winter patrol]

change audio to default

all fine now

[terse flume]

Hi, I have probably network troubles with game. It is without lags during training map but real map is lagging. Any ideas? Thanks.

I've try Troubleshooting Network-Related Issues, but it does not help. 😦

[blissful sequoia]

youre sure its network lag?

[formal goblet]

My friends having issues with his AMD RX480 and he keeps getting black screened and fatal error occurs issues he's rolled back his drivers and reinstalled the game verified his files and all and yet he's still getting issues, any help?

[terse flume]

How can I check it? I have i7 8565U and Radeon RX 550X. And medium details.

[blissful sequoia]

there is a bug that causes stuttering that can be worked around by joining a squad

[terse flume]

@formal goblet Hi, I had this problem too. Try older drivers.

@blissful sequoia thank you, I will try it.

[blissful sequoia]

oooh you are amd, im not sure sure if it affects those cards or not

[formal goblet]

He's tried that

[terse flume]

The game is going well, but every 10 seconds I have lag.

[blissful sequoia]

does it teleport you around?

[terse flume]

Yes.

[blissful sequoia]

🤔 oh that sounds like real network lag

[terse flume]

But my connection works fine. My ping in speedtest is about 20 ms.

Where are the servers?

Can I try to ping them?

[blissful sequoia]

we dont know - the devs wont share that with us

i suspect at least some of them are in north america, east coast

[split herald]

@formal goblet Me and a friend have the same problem and he find this solution, go to C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\c0349781.inf_amd64_c6d60d1b7fcef108\B349558 and copy the file atidxx64.dll and paste it on Steam\steamapps\common\Foxhole\War\Binaries\Win64 we try this and is working now

[terse flume]

Is it common to have network lags?

I am from Europe, so maybe it could be problem.

[blissful sequoia]

it shouldnt be happening...

many people play from europe. there are complaints about crowded servers lately and some lag but im not sure - its been lag free for me

[terse flume]

I'll try a squad.

[blissful sequoia]

the squad thing was for graphics lag. im not sure if it will help. i hope it does

[terse flume]

OK, so maybe I have troubles with FPS. But i7 8565U and Radeon RX 550X (2 GB GDDR5), 16 GB DDR4.

I've try to show FPS in Steam and it was unstable.

Does the game has a benchmark?

[blissful sequoia]

not that i know of

[terse flume]

Yep, joining squad fixed for me that stuttering

derp?

@blissful sequoia

[blissful sequoia]

e🅱️ic

is that ... current?

[lone hawk]

@blissful sequoia yes

[blissful sequoia]

is it stopping you from playing?

[lone hawk]

@blissful sequoia no but it practially makes it impossible for me to see anything under ground

[blissful sequoia]

oh man maybe you should file a bug report for that

that looks crazy

[lone hawk]

@blissful sequoia u know i changed my settings and it work but i cant use such high graphic settings to fix it i cant even use custome settings it bugs out when i change one thing and it sets everything to the highest thing as soon as i exit and rejoin the game

[blissful sequoia]

have you tried reinstalling or verifying game files? maybe some image file is mangled

[lone hawk]

i tried reinstalling and uninstalling and verifying

[blissful sequoia]

you can set each individual graphics setting, not just high for all

[lone hawk]

@blissful sequoia i believe its my anti aliasing thing i have it to 6x but it aint working

[blissful sequoia]

ah yea anti aliasing can be expensive. shadows too

[lone hawk]

@blissful sequoia it only happens at hills, coast lines, and river banks

but at the river banks and bridges it causes parts of the ground to go missing

and when i walk over it i float

[blissful sequoia]

never seen this before...

[lone hawk]

idk y it only happens to me

[blissful sequoia]

youve got new/fresh video drivers?

[lone hawk]

no

some hills and that are perfectly fine but sometimes it causes the problems i listed

idk what graphic thing is for terrain

@blissful sequoia

[blissful sequoia]

i mean maybe the graphics are just so low...

[lone hawk]

if i turn up to medium or high it will slow my game

[blissful sequoia]

can you just turn up model detail or terrain detail?

[lone hawk]

where do i find that?

[blissful sequoia]

in the graphics settings

[lone hawk]

ok i see resoultion, resolution scale, quality preset, vsync(idk what is does) anti-Aliasing, view distance, shadows, Post processing, texture quality, visual effects quality and foliage quality is all low @blissful sequoia

[blissful sequoia]

hmmm

[lone hawk]

i dont see model detail or terrain detail

[blissful sequoia]

well damn.

you were suffering through all this yesterday?

[lone hawk]

yes

i been suffereing this sicne i even got the game

[blissful sequoia]

you didnt seem like you were having trouble

you should file a #bug-reports i think, i just dont know how to help on this one

[lone hawk]

alright i did that but not a much ppl ask about it

[blissful sequoia]

ah damnit. theyre about to go on holiday too

[lapis dock]

Hi, I run my monitor refresh rate at 75 Hertz, and yet I only reach 60 fps in foxhole on ultra settings with vertical sync on, is 60 fps the limit or?

[blissful sequoia]

theres a pinned message about it

what kind of monitor has 75 hz...

i thought everything was 60 or 120 now

[empty cove]

You have to unlock the fps

[random crown]

hey I need some help my in game voice chat isn't working

[solar solar]

When ever I move through regions, I lose connection

[warm magnet]

my cpu doesnt like the new update

it often overheats, crashing the computer

its ok-ish in the home reason, but as soon as i join an actual map, the temperature rapidly shoots up to 100 degrees C

even with the CPU fan locked to 100%

[obtuse patio]

haven't been able to connect to voice chat since this patch

[blissful sequoia]

@warm magnet join a squad

oh nevermind maybe - they released a hotfix for that

[terse flume]

squards are disappeared on list

[dense heron]

Hi guys

Just wanted to ask if there’s a solution to a little problem I’m facing

I’m facing this problem where whenever I try to travel to any of the regions from the home region, my game instantly crashes. Can anyone please help me ?

[open heron]

Hey! how can I unlock my fps?

[mossy drum]

find a steam guide @open heron there surely is one, i used it

[lavish fractal]

Hello! Someone know how to fix that?

[primal hawk]

Foxhole site is down

[lone hawk]

@lavish fractal I was getting that problem to

[blissful sequoia]

driver rollback might work

[vocal jewel]

i got an error that said failed to download shard

whats that?

[terse flume]

My mic is extremely insensitive, I have to be VERY loud for it to register anything, its delayed by about 2 seconds and cuts out at the end

[blissful sequoia]

reduce trim. increase gain

[terse flume]

How do I do that? also my mic is pretty loud in itself, the sensitivity problem only comes in foxhole. Input gain is maximum

[blissful sequoia]

does your mic have a gain knob on it?

is it just a headset?

[terse flume]

Its just a headset

[blissful sequoia]

there is nowhere on the mic to turn it up? then check the windows sound control panel for that microphone, in the properties for it, check the gain

headset might have a bad mic tho

[indigo mantle]

Is there a way to make the text bigger?

[blissful sequoia]

not that i know of. thats the one reason i cant play in 4k
the nametags are too small

[spice lantern]

I just bought the game, and the first time I try and boot it up, it claims that it failed to download shard info [Error: 1]. I have had specific problems like thsi with my network where it will just decide to not let me use certain online features. The problem stops me from using things like Uplay, online Minecraft, Company of heroes 1 online (not 2 though), and now this seems to have the same problem. Don't know if it is my network, as other computers using the same network don't have this problem.

[blissful sequoia]

maybe your DNS server. theres a pinned message about changing DNS server

[vocal jewel]

no

i had that, its a firefox issue, its not letting the game go through

[blissful sequoia]

it can be a firewall, it can also be a DNS server problem

[vocal jewel]

just go to firefox and make it allow the game

[blissful sequoia]

firefox

[vocal jewel]

lmfao firewall xd

i had a brain fart

[spice lantern]

it isn't firewall

I checked

[blissful sequoia]

DNS.

[solar solar]

hey guys was just wondering if you could help, i cant hear any voices in game (i have checked steam voice chat and that works and i have cleared the cache and restarted and checked the games ingame volume setings) any advice would be appreciated

[blissful sequoia]

check the pinned messages here, there are several about voice chat

[solar solar]

thanks

[forest nest]

every time i hit play it keeps saying failed to download profile it was working fine yesterday

[narrow iron]

hey boys i need help i try to conect in the map 27 times and i get the timed out message

[sinful pewter]

@narrow iron

Option 1 - Exit your Steam Client and start it with Administratior access as well Foxhole.

Option 2 - Check your firewall settings as it might block foxhole without you noticing.

Option 3 - Wait a bit, it might be that the servers are a bit overloaded

[narrow iron]

How i made the 2 option

[wraith summit]

i need some help plz. everytime i click play at the main menu it gives me a message saying "failed to download profile[1]"

[blissful sequoia]

failed to download profile
try restarting steam

[storm crown]

Hey guys every time I launch the game I get a window that says fatal error UE4 war game has stopped working. Any fixes

[blissful sequoia]

can try rolling back video drivers

[wraith coyote]

I'm getting this weird lines in the snow, most green lines but sometimes blue and red ones. I heard I might be able to get them to go away by turning on vsync. The issue is when I go into settings and try to turn on vsync nothing happens. Like I click the drop down for on but it immediatly switched to off. Anybody have any ideas how to fix my issue?

[surreal sorrel]

my controls are locked and all HUD elements are gone

im still alive. any idea whats wrong

[turbid fog]

press the f# buttons?

[blissful sequoia]

you cant use vsync in windowed mode or fullscreen-windowed

it must be regular full screen

although i cannot imagine vsync would help with weird colors in the snow

weird texture colors might be video driver problems

[edgy pebble]

Just don't eat the yellow snow and you'll be fine.

[lucid cove]

I'm trying to boot the game up for the first time and I keep getting a black screen with it not responding

I tried the solution in #technical-read-first⚠ and it didnt work

Oh nvm, it decides to work the second I ask for help

[shadow sequoia]

I have an amd GPU. When I load the game it was "e34 system has crashed" or something like that. I know the read first chat says to isntall an older driver, but I was just curios if anyone knew of a driver that worked?

[terse flume]

hey guys since the new AMD update and new foxhole update I get a fatal error as soon as I start the game

[shadow sequoia]

same

what driver were you running when the game would work?

[tawdry fractal]

are there any tricks for optimizing the game for a lower end PC? I have a community of 200 people and we're going to be joining foxhole as a group and right now I'm waiting for my new PC to show up but the last few parts are going to take a month or two so if there is any easy ini. edits or anything that can help optimize it for the shittiest laptop ever I would super appreciate it

[blissful sequoia]

resolution scale

it gets blurry, but it improves render speed

game needs directx 11 though, so ... that may be an issue for many older video cards

[tawdry fractal]

yeah, im no stranger to garbage view. I'm already on the lowest

I just dropped 1.5k on a new computer so its my first real gaming ring aside from a 600$ prebuilt, but I had recently lost it so Im using a literal walmart quality ACER

[blissful sequoia]

i find the game runs tolerably on any video card with like 1500+ score on passmark, although with some adjustments to graphics

at like 45 FPS 😦

i cant speak to laptops, but a geforce 750TI is able to run the game, and thats a $50 ebay video card

[edgy pebble]

I will definitely be the first to recommend against gaming on a laptop.
Cooling is always an issue and you're (typically) paying extra for cut-down components.

[tawdry fractal]

this is not my real unit, it's a work laptop until hong kong sends me the rest of my pieces

Im just excited to play foxhole and seeking to build my community up in it

but if i have to I can just wait :)

[blissful sequoia]

🤔 unfortunate to order stuff from hong kong these days

[tawdry fractal]

yeah I just wanted to get the pc sorted out, my community funded it for me and built the list

[blissful sequoia]

your community bought you a computer??

are you going to get them to join 1 faction? or split them into both?

[austere galleon]

how come were limited on unstucks.

[blissful sequoia]

abuse

[fiery juniper]

i've been having trouble since the new update. occasionally (read: very often) my sound will cut out. not just for foxhole, but for my discord, too. i have to reset my devices in discord to get them to work again and foxhole's sound doesn't work at all except VOIP, which does. i have to restart the game to get it to work temporarily. any ideas?

[blissful sequoia]

does it cut out when you are not playing foxhole?

[fiery juniper]

nope

it only does it when i'm playing foxhole

[tawdry fractal]

@blissful sequoia aye, crowd funded a 1.5$k computer

we will likely join one faction and slowly introduce people into the game and cap it off around 30 people

we're probably going to go warden

[blissful sequoia]

[tawdry fractal]

our goal is to primarily focus on support roles as some of us learn the game and primarily aim to be a combat medical support unit quartering ourselves up to work rear echelon

[blissful sequoia]

1 week in youll all be bayonet charging on the fronts

[lucid cove]

Everyone in game voice chat is constantly cutting off

How do I fix that?

[shadow sequoia]

anyone have an AMD driver for gpu that runs foxhole w/o crash

hello?

[edgy pebble]

Hello.

Am i the only one for whom the foxhole page just doesnt work on mobile?

[verbal bloom]

Anyone here run the game on Mac with wine?

[sinful pewter]

Me to Darth

[true cliff]

having issues with my bluetooth headset not working. Either the headset will work or the mic but not both

anyone know any solutions

[blissful sequoia]

this game freaks out with bluetooth.

only possible option i can think of is voicemeeter, maybe

sometimes the game wont even start when youve got bluetooth connected

[true cliff]

lastnight it instantly DC'd when I connected them and wouldnt even start the game until I disconnected lol

[blissful sequoia]

yep

i think its a network related thing, more than sound

i think bluetooth devices have mac addresses or something, but yah foxhole wont start

i would say get different headphones, bluetooth is just a problem with this game

[short violet]

anyone know how to fix that?

[true cliff]

gonna try and mix them. Use my bluetooth for mic and my wired for output lol

[blissful sequoia]

@short violet check pinned message regarding changing DNS server

[lone hawk]

@blissful sequoia i think i solved my issue and i am not happy because it aint the right name for it

its one of the 3 visual effects, texture quality, post processing or anti aliasing

[blissful sequoia]

🤔 the issue of the crazy terrain?

or the colorful snow?

[ocean cargo]

I've been unable to play the game for about the past 2 weeks or so because every time I try to deploy my game freezes during the loading and then I get a "Connection timed out" error and get booted back to the menu. Anybody else?/Any solutions?

[blissful sequoia]

sounds like a network problem. maybe your router, maybe DNS server, maybe a firewall problem

you could try changing DNS server, you could try a VPN like tunnelbear to try to diagnose where the problem is

[ocean cargo]

good stuff

changing DNS worked

[inner basin]

Man we should give Derp a medal for all the work he's done in here since I've been gone as a mod

I've been trying to resolve my VOIP issue since the current war start and all i get are the same three bs troubleshoot from any support and nothing more. I've exhausted them all and its' getting infuriating, even more when randomly three nights ago it started working in the middle of a session for it to fail next day.

[gentle crater]

Hi guys i heve a astrange issue with game after launch, i see the game menu like start and options but when i click on options button options menu appears only after moving of game window in windowed mode, it looks like some screen refresh problem, in fullscreen mode it behaves similar but i have to use alt+tab to refresh the "picture", my HW info: Intel Q9650, ATI RX480, 8GM DDR3 RAM

[barren hamlet]

after updating my radeon GPU to version 19.12.2, the game is not launching, its stuck on a black screen, then it either crashes or exits, and the game never launches.

[inner basin]

@barren hamlet Read the latest pinned message in this channel. You need to roll back your driver.

[barren hamlet]

@inner basin well, I am not always on discord, I rolled back the update, and it worked again.

and I tend to get lost in discord, there is just too many things

[inner basin]

Well, I was just directing you to the message with the solution, sorry if I came off as anything other than helpful

At least it worked!

[barren hamlet]

wait no, it was helpful, but I rolled back the update after searching on google.

I understood the problem now.

[lone hawk]

is there away to fix EU-4 fatal error

[inner basin]

You mean UE4 fatal error?

@lone hawk You mind posting screenshots of what happens?

[lone hawk]

sure in a bit if it happens next time

[twilit hull]

@inner basin hi, yes it hapens also to me

here is screenshot

[fathom hamlet]

is cloudflare dns can couse very laggy voice chat ?

[inner basin]

@fathom hamlet Try using Google DNS perhaps

[blissful sequoia]

dns doesnt cause lag

it can prevent connections, but not lag

[plush heron]

My screen has been black for 20 minutes

[gentle crater]

i have installed older GPU drivers thats sovles my problem

[inland pivot]

hello,my voice chat is so giberish and laggy that i cant hear anything properly. Any ideas?

[trail canopy]

I got the same problem with Voice chat and I sound like a robot supposedly.

[inland pivot]

can you do anything about that?

[zinc blaze]

I've bought + downloaded the game as of about an hour ago, and keep receiving the "fatal crash" error on startup no mattert what I do.
I've tried moving some files, lowering settings, changing/downgrading drivers, and verifying the cache, but nothings fixing the issue.

[light hemlock]

i'm suffering from the failed to download profile (1)

[blissful sequoia]

restart steam

[gentle otter]

I have a prolem My game always crashed when i traveled to another region

And also everytime i tried to deploy on the front line, it is always ended up with connection to server timed out

[light hemlock]

have restarted reinstalled and restarted pc with the same issue still happeneing with failed to download profile

[tawny plaza]

my audio in the game sounds weird and robotic, every audio in the game except voice chat plays twice or 3 times.

fixed it by changing my defult audio device

[worldly pendant]

cant see my squad

how to fix this issue?

[wraith summit]

how do i fix im fairly certain it's not a network problems it works on a different computer on the same inernet i have a hardwired connection too.

[smoky grotto]

try restarting game

then try restarting your pc

if that doesnt work

you'll have to just waot

*wait

[low shell]

I can't get Foxhole to display, the game loads up but nothing shows on my monitor. I can hear the music and some button are clickable but they just aren't visible.

manage to get it to show, managed navigate my way in to the options and change it to fullscreen and now it works

windowed fullscreen doesn't work for some reason

[chilly helm]

i have a problem with foxhole: when i try to join the war the game tells me that i lost connection with server

i tried all the steps that are in #technical-read-first⚠ but it doesn't work

@smoky grotto sure i have just to wait??

it's 3 days that i wait

[smoky grotto]

@chilly helm damn 3 dayss?

i had it once for like 1,5 hour

you downloaded devbranch?

if yes, maybe you didnt went back to live branch

[eternal shadow]

I changed the graphics card and I have a problem with the game how can i fix it ?

[low shell]

Update the drivers?

[eternal shadow]

I installed old graphics card drivers and now the game is working

[chilly helm]

@smoky grotto No, I didn't downlad it

[smoky grotto]

hmmm

i honestly dont know what the problem could be

the last thing you could try is:

[chilly helm]

i don't know what it is😅

[smoky grotto]

go to your library

chose properties in foxhole

then go to local files

and try checking the integrity of game files

[chilly helm]

i have already tried it but the game files were ok

[smoky grotto]

welp

sorry to say that but i have no idea what's the matter

[blissful sequoia]

@eternal shadow if its an AMD/radeon then you need to downgrade your drivers to an older version, theres a pinned message about it

[wraith summit]

how long do i have to wait for you guys to fix this problem i bought this game 5 days ago and haven't been able to play once

[terse flume]

I'm getting a black screen on startup. Already tried the recommended solution in #technical-read-first⚠ .

Fixed, changed "PrefferedFullscreenMode=0" to "1"

[river wave]

I've been having an intermittent issue where Steam will machine gun off screenshots out of nowhere. It's been demolishing my already horribad FPS post trench update. I've fully taken my hands off my desk when it happened, so it's not just me pressing the screenshot macro. Any thoughts? Thanks

I have not been having this issue with other steam games, only Foxhole

[idle sonnet]

Could anyone help me. Whenever I try and launch the game I get a fatal error message. I reinstalled the game as well and it didn't fix it, I'm also not using any oc for my GPU

[inner basin]

@wraith summit My dude that image is miniscule

[analog prism]

For some reason, when I have my headset on, I can hear the game sounds in my headset but any voice comes goes through my speakers. Wat>???

[analog prism]

<@&213133977681264640>

[proud schooner]

Under the settings menu > voice, make sure to have the correct device set, or even make sure to set it even if it seems correct

[tardy tinsel]

Is there a fix being planned for the amd/radeon ue4 whatever error? i'm a bit lazy about downgrading my driver

[cyan ore]

game crashing a lot lately after a few minutes of play

[tardy tinsel]

"I've had the same problem and I fixed it by copying the most recent atidxx64.dll (the 19.12.2 one) directly to the folder where the foxhole exe (War-Win64-Shipping.exe) is at.

1. Search the atidxx64.dll. Go somewhere like C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository and search, with the upper right corner search bar, "atidxx64". Locate the most recent one, in my case even the 19.12.2 one worked, dated 10/12 which size is 26.9 MB.

2. Copy/Paste it to the game location where War-Win64-Shipping.exe is located so somewhere like Steam\steamapps\common\Foxhole\War\Binaries\Win64. It is very important that you paste it in the folder where War-Win64-Shipping.exe is located.

3. Launch the game normally.

I'm not knowledgeable in these things but it would seem Foxhole can't locate the .dll by itself?

I hope this helps!"

this worked for me
found it at https://steamcommunity.com/app/505460/discussions/1/3963662189542595139/
i mean, the game is open now...

[plush heron]

I’m having trouble loading the game

Lost connection with a server

It’s been doing this this whole week

And nothing works

[terse flume]

I'm having the same issue as yesterday, black screen upon startup.

Tried previous solution, solution posted, and setting compatibility.

I have problems with screen stuttering

Turn on v-sync in graphics setting

That makes it worse

What's your hz

60

Resolution?

1920x1080

Graphics settings?

everything low but textures on high

Try setting the textures lower

makes no differnce

Set resolution to 1680 and 1020

even worse

Disable full screen optimization

in the steam folder under properties of "War.exe"

one sec

ok turning off full screen optimization, turning on V-sync, and putting it in Windowed Fullscreen seems to help

thanks

should I worry about input lag with V-Sync on tho?

[terse flume]

idk

[austere galleon]

how do i fix building lag

[terse flume]

I now can't turn on V-Sync

[terse flume]

go back to fullscreen and turn it on then switch back to windowed if that's the problem. Worked for me

[blissful sequoia]

what is the resolution of your monitor natively?

yah alt + enter switches between windowed mode, btw, the easy way

[gentle otter]

I have a prolem My game always crashed when i traveled to another region

And also everytime i tried to deploy on the front line, it is always ended up with connection to server timed out

Attempt #2

Hi guys

hey I'm tired of it pisses me off!

I can't connect to the war service

I have all tried!

what is the magic trick !?

port open , steam fix to 500, firewall disable, antivirus disable, windows fucker disable , appdata/local/foxhole==>delete , reboot pc , all not work

[blissful sequoia]

have you tried changing DNS server yet? do you have any bluetooth connected?

@blissful sequoia how do i found out my native monitor resoultion? by looking up on internet or just checking my setting???

because i think way cybergawd said is right....
any my foxhole resolution is fked up. when i start my game its fullscreen, when i swap maps its a tiny box

[blissful sequoia]

In the display control panel it's the one marked recommended

[terse flume]

Chat showed "Saucy angel has caused excessive friendly fire" multiple times for reasons unknown, then restricted my weapons use.

I haven't shot anyone. Haven't even used grenades.

[bleak fog]

Did you shoot anything?

Blueprints, vehicles

I believe you can get weapon restricted from the harvester alone

[terse flume]

not a single thing.

I remember killing some ENEMY vehicles.

But my guns were unlocked when I died...

i don't know. my memory is fuzzy. but I'm 99% sure it's all business as usual.

[bleak fog]

If a friendly got inside the vehicle it flips faction

[terse flume]

This was way behind enemy lines. Couldn't have been. I think they were locked too

Unless it was our vehicles left behind an enemy push...

[bleak fog]

Idk then

Maybe calling mod mail, i believe there are logs on this type of thing

[tawdry vapor]

@coarse trail can you switch me to Colonials? my friend is in that faction and i cant play with him. i didnt know about the 1 time switch thing

[glass iris]

How do I fix this?

[craggy galleon]

I am having severe tearing and/or screen update issues.

also the gfx options i set from the main menu are not being 'saved' when i access the gfx options from within the game

is this a known issue?

[craggy galleon]

when running game in fullscreen mode, the tearing is less - but a lot of stuttering.

[inner basin]

@tawdry vapor Please DM @coarse trail and ask 🙂

[craggy galleon]

annoying really

settings in-game:

but in the main menu i set them as:

Settings not preserved

[fringe heart]

Is your CPU maxed in the task manager?

[craggy galleon]

no

i have a 8core current-gen intel thingie

32GB of ram

it runs everything normally

[fringe heart]

Have you tried making or joining a squad and see if that fixes anything?

[craggy galleon]

i want to try the gfx settings too. it won't let me change any settings

it always defaults to ultra, no matter what i do

[fringe heart]

Huh

[craggy galleon]

the settings are not preserved

[fringe heart]

It always defaults to ultra for me when alternating between Fullscreen and Fullscreen Windowed mode

[craggy galleon]

when i change gfx settings in main menu, they are reverted again when accessing them within the game

no, i didnt change fullscreen/windowed mode.

[fringe heart]

And when changing them in game?

[craggy galleon]

they revert back again

https://steamcommunity.com/app/505460/discussions/1/1483232961049800145/

[fringe heart]

Never had this issue before, don't know if i can help you other than the basic troubleshooting

[craggy galleon]

i am not the only one

a bummer. i had this game on my wishlist for a year. finally gave in.

good thing i am within my 2 horu refund frame.

[fringe heart]

Rip

[craggy galleon]

seeing the discussions on this discord server in general, i don't have the feeling i am missing out on a great experience anyway

fix your community

[inner basin]

I think I know what causes it but i'll need to do some testing

something with the graphics presets and the "apply" button

[frigid crater]

Hello
I have a weird issue. When i start the game first time of the day it always starts updating. It takes about 5-10 minutes to end. Then if i start the game in few hours it load pretty fast (i think 15-20 sec). How can i fix that?

[sinful pewter]

@frigid crater I think whats happening is that when ever you boot up your computer it loads a bunch of other programs at start

Like for example (Discord, skype, macfree, 3th party stuff..)

I would recommend pressing ** Esc+Shift+Ctrl** to open the task manager

Then expand it and go to ** Startup.. ** and disable some programs

[frigid crater]

No, there are no programs that start automatically when i boot my pc but i always run manually discord before the game. I think that windows may somehow change files in the game folder every time so foxhole decides to repair these files, but im not sure about this

[sinful pewter]

@frigid crater try to check if the windows service Superfatch Has anything to do with it

[frigid crater]

I turned off Superfetch, tomorrow i will find out if it works

Thanks for the help!

[terse flume]

hey i just bought the game and every time i launch it, it only shows a black screen.
i've already tried verifying file integrity, and doing what's listed in #technical-read-first⚠ for a black screen, but neither seem to fix it
in task manager when closing it, it does say 'not responding', but i have enough ram so i don't know what's up with that

i've also tried running it in compatibility mode for windows 8 but that didn't work either (i saw this as being a fix on a reddit post)

[terse flume]

I've not been on my steam in months logged into it on another laptop, i opened foxhole and it gave me this - failed to download shared info (error 1) any idea how to fix it?

[blissful sequoia]

probably your DNS server

can also be firewall or router problem

[terse flume]

i see, I'll do some checks although i doubt i can fix it

[blissful sequoia]

dns server is easy to fix, id try that first. there is a pinned message in here about how to do that

[terse flume]

ok thanks i'll see if that works wish me luck

[blissful sequoia]

the advice is free, the wishes cost money

[scarlet hull]

SO, I updated my Gcard drivers and now Foxhole crashes with a fatal error everytime I try to launch. Anyone else having this issue?

AMD Radeon HD 7900

[mortal sandal]

Hi I cant seem to deploy?

there's no deployment points appearing

[dire junco]

similarly
@blissful sequoia when you talk about dns what are you talking about exactly?

I tried everything the dev would do better to move your ass to solve these incredible netcode problem!
it starts to bug me

[terse flume]

Will be soon a fix for the error connection issues when going to another location?

[inner basin]

@scarlet hull See: https://discordapp.com/channels/203512636556574720/374272127953666048/654765049864257556

[split remnant]

CHeezus. 1. Download DDU, 2. Run in safe mode. 3. Run DDU, 4. Uninstall Graphics card driver. 5. Reinstall Drivers

[blissful sequoia]

amd drivers need an older version - roll back

@dire junco check the pinned message for dns server, it will explain in more detail than i

[verbal night]

everytime I try to log in it says: "Failed to download profile(1): if the issue persists contact the support page"

what should I do you guys?

[maiden bough]

Contact the support page

Nah sorry, I needed to make a joke xd

[blissful sequoia]

try restarting steam

[karmic whale]

Check integrety of files
Restart steam
Restart PC
Restart Router

Some of the possible solutions

[dire junco]

I will not change my dns for this game (badly coded)
I have already opened the ports

do all the bullshit possible

still not working

we buy a certain product it is not finished
but since the beginning of the game its not working correctly and for the same problem at the level of the netcode

In short I give up and thank you for the money lost

bastard band

[mortal sandal]

Still cant deploy

[fickle valve]

Can I get some help please

I load into the deploy area just fine but my game crashes when I try to get into a region

[steep meadow]

Did you try the following:
Launch and try again
Verify game cache
Reinstall
Restarting steam
?

[fickle valve]

I'll give it a shot, thank you

[terse flume]

Cant even load into the game anymore. Yes I have tried the recommended solution. Yes it worked once. It is no longer working.

[bright cradle]

is Local Voice Chat not working?

pressing T and no one seems to hear me

[terse flume]

Seems to be there's some issues, yea. Though I haven't run into any problems so far.

There's a fix at #technical-read-first⚠ for voice-related issues though, give it a shot.

To clarify - Black screen and "Not Responding"

[primal heart]

I started to the game again like 1 month ago

i will go insane

when I try to cross region borders I lose my connection

[ember lynx]

Can I solve this problem as reverting my AMD graphic driver?

[primal heart]

I can't do logi anymore, I lost like 4 trucks while doing logi

@ember lynx I had that error like 10 minutes ago I am using AMD too

[ember lynx]

I just bought this and trying to solve this problem

[ember lynx]

problem solved.

"Delete GPU driver completely by DDU -> download previous version of AMD driver" solved this problem

[split remnant]

https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/release-notes/rn-rad-win-19-11-3

Use that driver folks

[blissful sequoia]

heh that guy does "all the bullshit possible" except the thing i told him

blame the game for his network connection. no. thats not the games fault. the game's fault is not telling you in more detail whats wrong, but not that the game is programmed badly for networks

[rain moss]

Is anyone else having trouble getting into the game right now? I clicked deploy and it just gets stuck on loading

Then it says failed to download shard status

[rose rivet]

guys i take fatal error .---.

[modest sleet]

"failed to download profile" when trying to join the game

[opal cedar]

Same

Just got it fixed tho

[modest sleet]

me too, now i can choose faction again ... lol

[fresh holly]

I have the same problem Kovas

How do you fix it?

[fair shadow]

Same here I just bought this game like 10 minutes ago

[opal cedar]

Now i cant connect to server

[modest sleet]

restarted the game and tryed to join a few times more

ok i didn't fixed it

[arctic talon]

the servers are currently having an issue, the devs are investigating

[modest sleet]

still unbale to load profile

ok thank you

[fresh holly]

Okay thanks Camper21

yeah that's the problem on Mucio34's screenshot

[raven surge]

oh it seems everyone is having that issue

[fresh holly]

we all have it

[raven surge]

F

[fair shadow]

yep

[modest sleet]

😦

[sand fulcrum]

Since its not reported yet, I got the "shard" version instead of the profile one

[fresh holly]

I received both

sometimes I received the 'profile' problem, and then when i passed that, I received the 'shard' problem

[vast cairn]

I received all of them I think but don't complain that much about it. It is also maybe because of my internet connexion

[slate salmon]

So i'm not the only one having the "failed to download profile[1]

[blissful sequoia]

the shard one has been reported like a thousand times before, what do you mean not reported yet

[terse flume]

fatal error ue4 stopped working the thing is the devs need the launcher updated to the new adrenaline drivers

I think

[blissful sequoia]

try restarting steam for failed to download profile

there might be a universal server problem tho, or perhaps the DNS changed and your DNS server sucks

[terse flume]

Could be but it was working fine till I updated to adreniline 19.12.2

the devs need to update the eu4 war engine

I think...

[ember lynx]

how can I fix this?

[slate salmon]

@terse flume I had that issue as well, had to downgrade to the old AMD software

[sand fulcrum]

@blissful sequoia not reported today, for the current incident.

[blissful sequoia]

lol ok

[terse flume]

yeah but the old software is unable to be installed after I updated for what ever reason

I kept trying to download the last one for 2019 and it no longer works I guess

[sand fulcrum]

even if connected, deploy map not loading

[slate salmon]

@terse flume https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/release-notes/rn-rad-win-19-11-3 Here's the link to get the old version

[cinder relic]

what are you guys trying with an old software?

[terse flume]

it brought me to the ones for 2020

[upbeat charm]

"Unable to load profile" someone have the same problem?

[terse flume]

because the new one doesn't play well till the devs fix the campatability

[oak raft]

yes

i have the same problem

[severe bane]

servers are just overloaded XD

[modest sleet]

we still have the same problem

[oak raft]

i've restarted steam already

[upbeat charm]

I did the same

[sand fulcrum]

its server issue here

[terse flume]

It's not on your end, just wait until it's fixed.

[cinder relic]

I also cant deploy

[oak raft]

ok

[scenic moth]

Good job devs waiting an hour still no one can load in or cross regions whilst logi cant get things anywhere

[terse flume]

This isn't EA, they're a small dev team. Just be patient.

[hallow kettle]

im getting a failure to download profile prompt after i click play. just curious if that would have anything to do with the server issues everyone else is talking about.

[vast cairn]

Yes I think you have the same problem that everyone has
Just wait for the devs to fix it

[hallow kettle]

cool cool, just double checking. thanks!

[vast cairn]

No problem mate

[sharp forge]

I have a steam issue overall. When i try and update the game my steam keeps freezing and then it says connection lost. this also happens when i try to install other games, does anyone have a fix for this since the solutions i found on google and youtube dont work.

Things i tried: Clearing my cache, Clearing out space, changing the country i downloaded from.

[scenic moth]

They better roll us back to what we had we lost ulster due to this bullshit

[modest sleet]

finally i was able to join home island

can't travel anywhere from here

[vast cairn]

yup even if you manage to connect to home region you'll have a hard time to try to travel
Don't know if it's even possible to travel

[chilly badge]

Map Intel and therefor travel was down before the profile retrieval issues began. So about 1 and half hours ago.

[unreal otter]

they trying to do a recovery is not working, JUST RESET EVERYTHING!

[thorn kiln]

i think the game is down guys?

[unreal otter]

reset everything and temporary ban to WB after sabotage from last night

[empty dagger]

the servers seem overloaded at the moment. something about a streamer and fans flooding the game

also its chrismas and the game is on sale, so that's not helping

[unreal otter]

let me guess hes a Colonial and is a 5k viewer streamer so we need to give him priorities tht way the game gets more sales, hmm smart move

[inner basin]

Huh?

This chat is for end user technical issues, please stay on topic.

When I'm trying to launch the game it brings me to a black screen and just sits there for about 15 seconds then automatically closes the window, no "Foxhole has stopped responding" or anything, just darkness and then it closes.

Please help

[barren hamlet]

@random shadow Do you have an AMD graphics card, if yes, the latest AMD update breaks Foxhole.

[inner basin]

Hi @random shadow there is a message in #technical-read-first⚠ regarding the black screen issue.

[random shadow]

Working on that rn, thanks blade

[inner basin]

No problemo 👍

[unkempt wind]

@inner basin We have followed those steps and it still didn't fix it.

[inner basin]

Who's we? Which steps?

[unkempt wind]

5Folded and I are working to fix it together

All the ones for the black screen

[inner basin]

You don't have an AMD card, and if you do you already tried rolling back your driver?

Can you test something for me then

[random shadow]

how do i roll something back if ihavent updated this at all

this laptop is like brand new, i havent messed with the drivers at all

[inner basin]

AMD card or no?

who knows, maybe the laptop auto updated

Anyway, can you try launching Foxhole with your wifi turned off?

[random shadow]

No, no AMD card

I will try that

(when im home)

[blissful sequoia]

and bluetooth...

the problem is probably documented in your log file somewhere in the depths of %localappdata%\Foxhole

[stray gorge]

how do you change your cursor from a magnifying glass?

[arctic talon]

@stray gorge press ALT on your keyboard

that should make the icon go away

@stuck gust most likely having the same issue i was downgrade your amd graphics drivers to 19.11.3

how do I find my amd thing

probably the control center

or whatever then call it

radeon settings

https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/release-notes/rn-rad-win-19-11-3 heres the link to the driver version that works

here?

@ruby island

[ruby island]

ohhhhhhhhh you dont have amd

hmmm

has the game worked before

or is it the first time launching the game on that pc

[stuck gust]

first time on this pc

[ruby island]

try verifying the files

[stuck gust]

its worked in the past on an old pc

already have

[ruby island]

its probably something to do with intels integrated graphics

probably

maybe upgrade the drivers?

go to your laptops site and look for the drivers for your specific model

yes try that 🙂

[terse flume]

I consistently have a low framerate when I’m in areas with large amounts of people
there is no measurable difference in fps between high graphics and low graphics

I’m not sure if it’s my settings, something I need to do for my computer, idk..

[limber hatch]

So like when I plug in my headset I don't get a pop up anymore asking what I plugged in. Since it doesn't show it up, my pc doesnt know I have plugged in a headset and won't let me use my headsets mic. Does anyone have a fix? It would make playing foxhole a universe easier.

[blissful sequoia]

did you lose your realtek drivers? does it work when you plug it in the back or front instead?

[limber hatch]

I just reinstalled my realtek drivers and it doesnt work at all

Even before I reinstalled them

[blissful sequoia]

you might try getting the ones directly from realtek

and if its a pc try connecting to the ones in the back

[mortal robin]

So I have an odd issue, whenever i deploy off of the starting island I lose all in game audio besides voices. Anyone know a possible fix.

THIS IS THE SECOND WAR, AND THIRD TIME TODAY I CANNOT REPAIR MY MOTOR BIKE

[verbal mica]

hello, i have a problem. everytime i deploy to a region it crashes and it says the "D3D Driver" is lost

[sinful pewter]

@verbal mica Underclock your graphics driver - (It means underclock it using an overclocking program like setting it to -528)

It is proboly caused because your driver overloads then restarts

[terse flume]

lol awesome

just had a group of five players

in the three hours ive played its been nothing but glitches, specifically around the motor bike. very upsetting. makes me not want to play anymore. I cant repair motorbike when damaged, motorbike falls through map, motorbike is stuck going through water other vehicles can go through.

[past hare]

its just some kind of waiting phase between two wars. in a normal war you dont have that much glitches and bugs

[outer ice]

Sounds like you don't have materials to repair it

[terse flume]

i did.. but forget it.

also whats with the fuel consumption and weakness of the armored car? thing eats so much fuel its hardly capable of actual assaults. and it takes damage so quickly, could hardly be considred an armored unit. especially if things like 9mm pistol is causing damage. not epic and lame.

[inner basin]

This channel is for technical issues regarding Foxhole. Please take your discussion elsewhere 🙂

Also @terse flume that's just a rare bug, the falling through the map thing. I've alerted the devs to this already and hopefully they can fix it rather quickly.

Hey im getting fatal errors when i launch a fresh install of the game, and steam is sayin g its trying to launch with the game rule "WAR" any help or another chat i should bring this to?

[versed helm]

Hello, recently got the game, get this error when i boot

[inner basin]

Hi Vulkan, do you have an AMD graphics card?

[versed helm]

RX 5700XT

[inner basin]

If you don't know, I can help you find out

Ok, there is a bug in the latest AMD update. You will have to rollback your driver.

See: https://discordapp.com/channels/203512636556574720/374272127953666048/654765049864257556

[versed helm]

could this be due to my shotty overclocking?

oh

[inner basin]

If that doesn't work, I think you should also disable the overclock, just in case

[versed helm]

Is this AMDs bug to fix, or Unreal engine?

the new drivers have also fricked up VR

oh well

[inner basin]

I don't know, that's a good question

[versed helm]

I bet it would be fixed if the game used Vulkan

[inner basin]

Lmao your discord name makes sense now

[versed helm]

yes

[inner basin]

[versed helm]

I hate openGl and D3D with a burning passion

because multithreading

and software raytracing

and volume raycasting

i could go on

[inner basin]

All things I'm sure to learn about in my game design class next year 🙂

[versed helm]

haha

yeah, APIs are important

Direct 3d also has hella overhead

opengl drivers for amd are poo

speaking of poo, downgrading drivers is going to reduce performance by 20 percent

i cry

[inner basin]

mehhh is your graphics card gonna notice in Foxhole? XD

[versed helm]

hehe

i don't know if it's graphically demanding

[blissful sequoia]

holy crap how did the drivers squeeze out +20% performance

[versed helm]

its a 2 gb game though...

@blissful sequoia it's complicated and i'm tired

it'll also nuke my OC

so more like 40% diff for me

😦

[austere canopy]

oh

[versed helm]

I don't think it's a demanding game, my friend runs it on a phenom 4

[austere canopy]

yea i'm having the same issues

@inner basin I'm on a stock card and it's happening to mee yea

[inner basin]

Roll back those AMD drivers baby

[versed helm]

adrenalin 2020 has as many bugs as new features lol

[austere canopy]

i wonder if using DXVK would fix it lol

[versed helm]

roling back drivers is hard especially when it's a major update

30 min process because DDU

[austere canopy]

brb

I'm gonna reboot in to linux so that i can play a windows game lol

[blissful sequoia]

linux drivers on permanent rollback

[austere canopy]

what do you mean?

[inner basin]

Ah rolling back the most thorough way

DDU

[austere canopy]

like bruh even the top bit of the AMD control panel flickers when the GPU is at high load

10/10 drovers

[versed helm]

drovers

ok so my pc crashed when installing the old drivers and now they're corrupt

[austere canopy]

can confirm that the windows game does not work on windows and does infact only work on linux

[inner basin]

@austere canopy your profile pic is my reaction rn

@versed helm is ok

[austere canopy]

@inner basin look man i don't k now what to tell you

[inner basin]

It's... working?

[austere canopy]

yea game runs fine on linux

not on windows tho dunno what that's about

you can see right there

GPU: AMD ATI Radeon RX 5700 / 5700 XT

in case you were wondering @versed helm using a DX11 to Vulcan translator was the solution

[inner basin]

Linux using old drivers perhaps? idk

you know your OS better than I do

[austere canopy]

nah this is not even stable drivers lol

they're different drivers

one of the benifits of linux is if there's a problem with the drivers you can just randomly change versions, and they usually don't last long

so i'm using beta drivers right now

that being said idk you might have some luck using DXVK on windows but it's built for linux

what ever instruction is causing the fatal error probably won't on Vulkan it's better supported by AMD

like i wouldn't recommend it because it might have some bugs cause it's not supposed to run on windows but it can and doesn't have a chance of destroying your install

[ruby island]

drivers are baked into the kernel and if you are running the linux kernel provided with arch and its up to date then thats the latest version of the drivers

and actually arch is the most recommended linux os for gaming

due to latest packages and best performance

i bet its something to do with the anti lag or some other feature added into the radeon settings with the 2020 update causing it as linux doesnt have that gui front and there for doesnt come with that stuff

[austere canopy]

yes, and i use arch, and i am talking about mesa, of which the latest devel versions work much better with the 5700xt

[blissful sequoia]

ive found you need the proprietary drivers from amd or nvidia on linux in many cases

[austere canopy]

not amd

you use OSS ones for everythimg but intel

[ruby island]

actually everything but nvidia

[blissful sequoia]

the OSS ones didnt have the feature set i needed

foxhole and other games will complain they dont have dx11 support

[lusty anchor]

Okay so, i have down graded to the last version of my AMD drivers, and my game still gives me a fatal error, could it be something else?

[blissful sequoia]

find your log file in %localappdata%\Foxhole

[lusty anchor]

Im trying to use an older version first

[ruby island]

you must use 19.11.3 amd drivers @lusty anchor

anything higher will give you fatal error

[lusty anchor]

umm, i think you mean 19.11.1 seeing as thats what worked

[lusty anchor]

11.3 is the newst version]

i was using 11.3 today

[ruby island]

no 19.12.2 is newest

[lusty anchor]

wha?

okay i need to look into that

[lusty anchor]

but 11.3 and 11.2 gave me erroes

okay then

11.1 was the only one to work

[ruby island]

i am on 11.3 and i can launch the game perfectly fine

[lusty anchor]

no idea then

but i got it to work'

[ruby island]

you might need to do a clean install

of 11.3

maybe some left overs from 12 were there

[lusty anchor]

doesnt matter its working now

[ruby island]

thats good

[terse flume]

why are vehicles so laughably weak in this game

18 shots from a 9mm and the vehicle is completely useless and starts on fire, yeah okay. stupid.

the whole engine block, all the tires, the tubing, all of the metal. nope, rendered completely useless because you were hit like three times

[terse flume]

OH MAN

nothing like dying in the back of an APC running over enemy trenches, so fun, i love this game

[limber ruin]

Triggered much?

[terse flume]

yes

[steel bane]

Hey folks, looked online with very little help available.

Failed to download Profile[1]. Please try again.

Appreciate any advice, hyped to play this after hearing good things.

[vital pebble]

@steel bane Try to restart steam, if that doesnt work Verify integrity.

[languid flint]

yea

[steel bane]

I have restarted pc, steam and installed, verified followed all the ste[s

[wanton whale]

reinstall the game perhaps?

[vital pebble]

@steel bane unusual, where do you live may I ask?

[steel bane]

GB

[vital pebble]

Then you should be grand, hmmm.

@blissful sequoia ^

[wanton whale]

Any VPN that you use?

That might cause problems.

[abstract bison]

Brits dont have issues so its not a regional thing

[steel bane]

just standard, dont do all that stuff

[wanton whale]

ah, alright

[abstract bison]

Try running steam as administrator

[languid flint]

have you checked the pinned messages? might have the solution

[vital pebble]

@steel bane log in and out of steam

Relog

[languid flint]

i think i had this problem but i just restarted my router

[steel bane]

running as admin I shall try, and re-logging

although I have restarted steam twice?

[vital pebble]

Just relog.

[steel bane]

have 2x

[vital pebble]

Okay.

[steel bane]

same error running as admin.

[abstract bison]

Reset your router

[vital pebble]

Restarting your router is your next bet

[steel bane]

lol?

would that be causing an issue?

[languid flint]

probably

[abstract bison]

Yeah, unplug plug it back in fixes things

[vital pebble]

@steel bane have you read #technical-read-first⚠ ?

[languid flint]

hes restarting

is he... ded

[abstract bison]

Perhaps

[steel bane]

hey

restarted, still same message

[abstract bison]

Issue fixed?

[steel bane]

sadly not

[abstract bison]

Well shit

@languid flint @vital pebble

[steel bane]

Appreciate all the help attempts

[abstract bison]

You 2 got any more ideas?

[languid flint]

uhh

not particulary

[steel bane]

I've read a few articles online suggesting it has been bout since launch and is still occurring?

[languid flint]

need some mods help or smth but they're all off

[vital pebble]

@steel bane usually this is resolved by restarting steam, I'm sorry :(

[steel bane]

Understandable.

[vital pebble]

Scroll up and I'm sure some other people had the same problem

It's pretty common

[steel bane]

I think I will just return it sadly. Appreciate everyones help and attempts.

[vital pebble]

👍

[languid flint]

aw :c

[steel bane]

I'll go for one last fresh install after restarting, if that doesn't work I'll return. Thanks again folks.

[languid flint]

@steel bane have you tried disabled anti-virus

[steel bane]

that was also in the suggested and isn't something I like to get into the habit of doing.

[languid flint]

There another fix that might work
if you cannot connect to the server, perform the following operations:

1. Run Steam
2. Enter the game
3. Launch a VPN (https://www.comss.ru/page.php?id=4857)
4. Log in to the server
5. Disable VPN
   Perform the procedure in order, as if you start the VPN first, Steam will determine the IP and when switching the VPNa in the game, Steam changes it.
   And if you start Steam first, then everything works, and switches back to your IP.

[steel bane]

seems like this is something that you shouldnt need to do.

Think I will just return

[languid flint]

thats unfortunate. too bad i cant help 😦

[steel bane]

Yeah, fresh install still has not worked.

[terse flume]

What're your system specs, @steel bane?

[steel bane]

Sorry, disco carshed for me.

Nv 1070, i7 16gb RAM

sorry, i5-4690

Geforce GTX 960

[terse flume]

And what's your issue specifically? Sorry I wasn't paying attention to the chat.

Oh failed to download profile.

[steel bane]

Failed to download Profile[1]. Please try again

yes sir

[terse flume]

Last time that happened, it was an issue server side.

Is your connection stable?

[steel bane]

yes

stream regularly too

[terse flume]

Any VPNs or so on?

[steel bane]

nope

[terse flume]

Could be your firewall or antivirus, try bypassing Foxhole in those.
Make sure you're not running on beta build in Steam properties of the game.
Restart your computer after you tried one of these two.

Make sure that on the main menu it says live (top right or left corner) and not private or so.

[steel bane]

0 betas

Live, no antivirus interference

still same error

[terse flume]

Firewall?

[steel bane]

nope, all clear

[terse flume]

I really don't know then.

Running as admin or with compatibility might work.

[steel bane]

tried admin?

Sorry, I mean I have tried admin.

[inner basin]

Did you make sure the shard set in the top right corner of the main menu is "Live"?

Do news feeds appear on the main menu?

@steel bane

[terse flume]

Yea, I told him the same, he says it is.

[steel bane]

Yeah @inner basin they are there

war#46 latest

[sturdy sapphire]

anybody having problems connecting?

[frozen pelican]

Yeah

The servers are restarting

[lone galleon]

anybody know how to get the overlay for discord to work?

its enabled on discord side and shows up for every game but this one

[terse flume]

@lone galleon Be sure you don't have it on a toggleable key, if you do make sure it's toggled on.

SHIFT + ` is the default lock.

[lone galleon]

yeah idk it shows up in every game so it shouldnt be locked

do i push the lock on discord menu or in game?

[terse flume]

Could be just Discord not interfacing well with Foxhole, which case you might want to submit a ticket at Discord Support.

In-game.

[lone galleon]

ok thanks i will

[terse flume]

No problem.

[gray fog]

Hey guys, I'm getting a pop up as soon as I boot the game, it's a black screen followed by 'The EU4-War Game has crashed and will...' With 'Fatal error!' underneath. I've reinstalled a couple of times of course and restarted my computer too but the message still keeps coming up, any ideas what I can do to fix this?

[sinful pewter]

@gray fog Which type of graphics card are you using & which CPU?
please @me if you know

[gray fog]

@sinful pewter I'm using a Ryzen 5 3600 and an Rx 5700

[sinful pewter]

I have no idea what the means - I use GTX,
anyhow first option is to download ** DirectX Runtime ** and run it,
next verify your game.

if the error still shows up attempt to force the game to be in windowed mode

[gray fog]

Righto, DirectX Runtime it is, thanks bud

[spark void]

@gray fog I'm getting the same problem

[gray fog]

@spark void similar specs or just same message?

[spark void]

@sinful pewter I'm AMD Radeon RX 5700 with AMD Ryzen 5 3600x

I have the most updated graphic card updates

[sinful pewter]

I still have no idea what AMD grapics mean

[gray fog]

Yeah, maybe we gotta ping a dev or summat

[sinful pewter]

Did you try the DirectX update?

[gray fog]

cos foxhole clearly doesn't enjoy playing with these new drivers, and I did yeah, I already had the most recent ones installed apparently

reinstalling again now

just to see

[sinful pewter]

Was it because the graphics update?

When I had the error what helped was to underclock my GPU

[spark void]

I'm running Radeon 19.12.3

[sinful pewter]

Maybar66 [TR]12/12/2019
FATAL ERROR ON AMD GRAPHICS CARD

If you're using an AMD Graphics card, downgrading from the latest version of the driver (19.12.2) to a lower one (https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/release-notes/rn-rad-win-19-11-3) will fix this bug.

@spark void @gray fog

[gray fog]

Hol up lemme check what drivers I'm running

I'm using... Date: 04/12/2019 and it's version 26.20.15002.61 Thanks for looking around for us @sinful pewter but I did acc have that driver, but it fucked around with my monitors so I reckon I'll just wait until either new drivers come out that work or foxhole itself becomes compatable

[sinful pewter]

I would try to downgrade the grapichs driver (aka installing a older version)

[gray fog]

Yeah I know, but I've just updated to a new version cos older ones messed up my pc big time so imma leave it I reckon

[sinful pewter]

Its your choice 👍 , sadly AMD drivers aren't supported as much as Nvidia

[gray fog]

yeah man, thanks anyway tho

[gray fog]

@hot oak Do you have any idea if this will be something you guys can work on and hopefully get working or is the issue on AMD's side?

[worldly flower]

I played briefly before with Nvidia card now I came back to game after a while n my card is AMD and i get this error after I updated the game.

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/596738082544287754/661662837763997727/unknown.png

[gray fog]

I have exactly the same result man

[hot oak]

@gray fog AMD's side.

[gray fog]

right ok 👍

[hot oak]

@gray fog Did you get it working by rolling back the driver?

[gray fog]

Well, I'm currently one version behind fully updated drivers because the latest ones literally don't output any video. And I get the same result with previous drivers or I get flickering screen syndrome. I'm gonna stick with the ones I've got until some new stable ones are released.

I love the game, but not enough to risk my loosing my card over ya know

[blissful sequoia]

you cant damage the card with software

[hot oak]

Fair enough. Best of luck to ya

[gray fog]

Thanks bud

And while I can't damage the card it took me a couple of hours to rollback to the one I'm on now and am not ready for that experience again. If the window had been open it was going out man, AMD have messed their drivers up so bad @blissful sequoia

[blissful sequoia]

yah you can definitely waste time, just cant permanently damage it

[spring timber]

@spark void @sinful pewter i have the same setup AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT and Ryzen 5 3600x and since updating the drivers i crash on startup. I already emailed a crashreport towards the devs and i hope it gets fixed soon

[sinful pewter]

Revert your AMD drivers

@spring timber

[spring timber]

didn't work

[bold sail]

anyone been having issues booting up a x370 motherboard. mine has been tempermental, sometimes it will start but most it wont. i have done checked all the pinouts, powercables, prettymuch anything interenal to the computer. i done changed the pcu just in case. the power switch does in fact work

[ruby island]

@spring timber ok heres what you should do download 19.12.1 (https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/release-notes/rn-rad-win-19-12-1) launch the installer and do a clean install of all the drivers then reboot your pc after its done installing which should be the second reboot

i have just tested 19.12.1 and it works

its most likely something so do with the 2020 changes to the redon settings like the anti lag or the other features added

thats the latest version that doesnt have the new 2020 settings app

it probably didnt work the first time because you had left over drivers from the new version

a clean install would fix that

[spring timber]

i got it working using an way older verison but thanks for that

[ruby island]

ya someone else had to downgrade a few times for it to work due to the lack of clean install used

i would recommend upgrading to 19.12.1 as it has some improvements for the 5700

and is confirmed to work

[shy vessel]

um my game wont open at all

[ruby island]

fatal error?

[shy vessel]

yup

[ruby island]

look at the messages above

i posted

[shy vessel]

oh do i have to downgrade drivers?

[ruby island]

yup

make sure to do a clean install

[shy vessel]

ughhhhhhhhh

wdym by that

[ruby island]

i suspect its something to so with redon settings

the new 2020 changes

when downloading the driver manually from the link above you must select to install from downloaded drivers not recommended and select custom install then clean install

your pc will do a total of 2 reboots

well 1 automatically

then you have to select restart

[shy vessel]

ok
