technical-chat

[ruby island]

and point dism at it

[ruby elk]

dude srsly

[ruby island]

well there is no other way of fixing corruption if the online one didnt fix it

[faint blade]

go buy new pc

end of story

[ruby elk]

come on is there other solution jokes aside

it cant be file coruption

cause HOME ISLAND WORKS FINE

[faint blade]

yes but maybe at some point the game accesses other stuff you know

then it breaks

[ruby island]

well maybe the home island doesnt use some functions that are used after you deploy

[faint blade]

yup

[ruby elk]

then why game worked some time ago

[ruby island]

aka once you deploy the game tried to use corrupt functions resulting in a loss of audio

[ruby elk]

i played yeasterday and the problem occured after like hour of gaeplay

[ruby island]

well maybe a windows update broke that dll

[faint blade]

idk about UE4 but in MonoGame there is only one function to access Songs and GameSounds, so if it that doesn't work for you it's usually fault within Framework/engine

@ruby elk idk we helped you out lol. You decide yourself now what you want to do

[ruby elk]

fuck

any other not so invasive solutions

[ruby island]

time for a long download

how is it invasive

[ruby elk]

yea and it wont fix shit

[faint blade]

i mean if his download speed is slow it's pretty damn invasive

[ruby elk]

only break more

[ruby island]

it will not break more

[ruby elk]

i bet

it will

[ruby island]

no the dism command you ran came up with unfixable errors

meaning you already have corrupt files on your system

[ruby elk]

how do you think they have been corrupted

[ruby island]

dism will fix those corrupt files if given a fresh iso

[ruby elk]

cause the problem happened in middle of playing foxhole

[ruby island]

yes maybe a system file was changed and corrupted something

[ruby elk]

the 1st time it happened, i was traveling from one region to other (to westgate)

[ruby island]

blame windows

[ruby elk]

then it stayed like that

[ruby island]

for shitty os

[faint blade]

Idk why you guys are even arguing. you can either do nothing now or what he suggested

😄

[ruby elk]

find something diffrent i dont want to reinstall whole windows

[faint blade]

pretty simple

then go search on the internet or wait for someone else here to help you out

[ruby island]

you are not reinstalling

you are simply downloading the iso and giving dism new files to copy from

no when it finds a corrupt file it doesnt have to download from the internet

[ruby elk]

what and how to do

[ruby island]

download the windows 10 iso

https://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/software-download/windows10

from here

[faint blade]

ah so the os goes over system files and compares the checksum of your files and the ones provided with the iso

[ruby elk]

with option

[faint blade]

if they don't match replace

[ruby island]

yes well kinda

if it finds a mismatch without the iso it must now download the file of the network and dism doesnt like that too much if its a kinda large file

[ruby elk]

where to download it on this link

[ruby island]

so it fails

download the shitty tool

and select iso download

microsoft requires you to use their tool

[ruby elk]

the tool is loading so long

[ruby island]

yup windows 10 iso isnt small by any means

make sure you have it set to iso

windows 8 is 3.28gb

[ruby elk]

no ISO optin

[ruby island]

there is

[ruby elk]

no it dont look like this

[ruby island]

hold on i am downloading it

[ruby elk]

ok got it

i mean its downloading

[ruby island]

fucking hell they made it look worse

you select that right

then this

[ruby elk]

yea i kno i saidk

i said i got it its loading

33%

66%

it dropped to 0%

[ruby island]

oh good old windows

never seems to amaze me

just let it do its thing

[ruby elk]

maybe came to next step lmao

what will we do when it finish?

[ruby island]

probably validation

you will mount the iso then point dism at the install.esd

[ruby elk]

mount where

[faint blade]

[ruby island]

in windows you can just right click any iso and click mount it acts as a disk being inserted

[ruby elk]

will this operation take long tme

[faint blade]

I'm really curious if this whole story ends up working

[ruby island]

it will probably take just as long as the other dism command you ran

[ruby elk]

me 2 lmao i wonder if its going to remove all my files by "Accident"

[ruby island]

it will only modify windows files nothing to do with user made files

thats the october update

[ruby elk]

when u say mount- do u mean it will replace all files or wat

[ruby island]

that you are thinking of

no you are essentially inserting a disk

[ruby elk]

omg that update fried my brother's hard drive

[ruby island]

ha lol

good old crappy windows

[ruby elk]

i was lucky it didnt kill my pc

it even broke the hidden partition

pc would only boot into safe mode (black wallpaper, only icon is trash can) and cant do anything

ok what now

it tells me tu burn it into dvd but how to save to file

[ruby island]

lol you probably had to completely reinstall or do the dism trick

[ruby elk]

they had to replace disk

[ruby island]

the file should be saved to where you pointed it to before the download

[ruby elk]

they had to replace hard drive cause it was corrupted

[ruby island]

HA sounds great

why do people still use windows

[ruby elk]

what u use

[ruby island]

it just breaks

i am trying to switch to linux but gamming is keeping me here

on windows

[ruby elk]

dont switch linux is weird

[ruby island]

once you understand it you will never go back

[ruby elk]

only advantage is that it works

[ruby island]

trust me

there are games now that run better on linux then windows

[faint blade]

I use Arch Linux, but you will never leave Windows completely

[ruby elk]

ok i have that fucking iso file

[faint blade]

People been trying to tell us Linux Gaming is there now, and every time it ends up in: Nope.

[ruby island]

the only thing holding windows together is gamming

as anticheat only allow for windows

currently

[faint blade]

Not only that, but some stuff runs better

[ruby elk]

i have that nibba iso

wut now

[ruby island]

with the new compiler windows only games run faster in linux

its retarded

[ruby elk]

thecuz

what now

@ h e r e

[ruby island]

ok so now right click the iso and hit mount

[faint blade]

Faster, that's what they been doing steadily over the past decade. Are they there tho? Nope.

[ruby island]

yes they are

[faint blade]

No they're not

Issues asside in most games I've had terrible performance if the devs didn't decide to include a native build

[ruby elk]

cant mount

no mount function

[ruby island]

because you havent set up wine properly

you must use esync

[ruby elk]

?

[ruby island]

and set the governor on your kernal

[ruby elk]

hey!

@ruby island

cant mount

[ruby elk]

it is on disc E: (with dont really exist)

now

[ruby island]

ok

[ruby elk]

i did ti

it is faking being dvd

[ruby island]

ok now DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:E:\sources\install.esd this in theroy should work

e not f

[ruby elk]

it isnt F its E

and i couldnt mount it 1st cause i have program for opening iso file for virtual box xd

[ruby island]

ummmm

[ruby elk]

ok wait

[ruby island]

well is it mounted now

[ruby elk]

now the command yes?

[ruby island]

ya

if its mounted

[ruby elk]

btw doing stuff with virtualbox is fun

[ruby elk]

yes

[ruby island]

should see something like this

[ruby elk]

ik

it has to be admin settings yes

[ruby island]

yes make sure the drive letter is good and run

[ruby elk]

i mean andministrator permissions

[ruby island]

yes

[ruby elk]

cmd

okie dokie

btw

do u know, i managed to install fully working Windows 3.11 and make internet work on it

tho latest browser it can have is internet explorer 5.01

so most sites dont work

[faint blade]

y tho

[ruby elk]

but google does

[ruby island]

probably due to the lack of html5

[ruby elk]

yea

and sites too big in size

tho i added pretty big amount of RAM

tho google does, even image search

[ruby island]

hmmm maybe google falls back to some old standard

[ruby elk]

idk \

do u know any old html websites i can try xd

[ruby island]

ehhhh not really

good old cool math games

maybe

[ruby elk]

http://prntscr.com/qk4eox

coolmathgames dont work, prob got some updates

[ruby island]

oof

[ruby elk]

48.8%

googled oldest still running website, and some of the results worked

in this windows

[ruby island]

@faint blade look at that

f1 2018 is not native to linux

and it out performs windows

[faint blade]

@ruby elk you like dos stuff?

[ruby island]

in fps

[faint blade]

Well mate, if you give me a few specific games none of which I play..

[ruby elk]

@faint blade i mean idk it just find it interesting (i was born after dos era tho)

[ruby island]

looking at the results its pretty similar

[faint blade]

Which does not mean it will be as optimized for every game, something that is stated often enough

[ruby elk]

only game i know from this list is tomb raider and hitman lmao

[faint blade]

@ruby elk there's a YTer who does DOS virus, trojans and stuff. Very interesting

[ruby island]

but 99% of games have near similar performance to windows

provided you use game mode

and use esync wine build

as well as up to date mesa drivers

[faint blade]

I can't use mesa

[ruby island]

why not

[ruby elk]

75%

whats mesa

sorry i dont know as much as u guys, i guess im above avarge in computer knowledge but u guys another level

[faint blade]

Cause of the shitty game I've been playing for the past decade which isn't even working idk why.
It's called Planetary Annihilation and uses OpenGL. With Mesa I was getting terrible fps (3-10). I tried oibaf drivers, those worked phenomenally for all other OpenGl based games but guess what.. the game I'm playing isn't working with it

[ruby elk]

whats mesa

?

[faint blade]

The native support is garbage

[inner basin]

as usual lmao

[ruby island]

opengl is native to linux isnt it

[faint blade]

And willbe removed soon

[ruby island]

no need for dxvk or wine

its cross platform

[faint blade]

Mate they even consider pulling down the native builds because of how garbage it is

Render issues and memory leaks everywhere

[ruby elk]

Whats mesa

[faint blade]

I've been basically locked out of the game

[ruby elk]

tell me pleas

[faint blade]

Since a year I got the new GPU

[ruby elk]

@faint blade whats mesa pliz]

tell me im curious

[faint blade]

Mesa is a graphics library. Some games use OpenGl especially older or simpler ones, some use Vulkan or other

And Mesa is supporting these. It's even open source

[ruby elk]

i dont get it fuck im so dumb

[ruby island]

mesa is opengl

[ruby elk]

;(

[ruby island]

isnt it

[faint blade]

Not only

But it does include opengl

If I knew back then I would have gotten a nvida gpu

[ruby island]

so couldnt you just launch the game with mesa installed

[faint blade]

I don't even playany of the new titles

I did, frame rate was terrible

[ruby island]

did you enable game mode

[faint blade]

It was working worse than with my 560Ti

[ruby island]

to set the governor

[faint blade]

It was Mesa + the native build

[ruby island]

but no gamemode

[ruby elk]

its 100% again for some minutes

do u think its gonna explode?

[ruby island]

just wait

https://github.com/FeralInteractive/gamemode

[ruby elk]

what is % chance of my computer exploding

xd

[ruby island]

-100%

[ruby elk]

so i will get free computer?

computer will materialise in front of me?

[ruby island]

yup

will be arriving shortly

[faint blade]

What's the chances of an 2010 game support this

[ruby island]

thats native support you just launch the game with the gamemode argument

[ruby elk]

yeet

[ruby elk]

why u have drunk wario as profile pic

[ruby island]

that will set governors on your kernel

[faint blade]

what kind of improvements have you see with this. We're talking here of 3-10fps I was getting

[ruby island]

so pretty big improvements actually

[faint blade]

Even double the performance will mean nothing lmao

[ruby elk]

-100% improovments

[ruby island]

depending on how your kernel is interacting with opengl

does all these things

[faint blade]

I'll give it a try. But I don't expect much if the game is already so badly optimized

[ruby elk]

@ruby island

it finished

[ruby island]

Noice any errors like last time

[ruby elk]

nope

[ruby island]

now restart

restart

[ruby elk]

does that mean it fixed something or no problems found

[ruby island]

it most likely cleaned up the corruption

[ruby elk]

why havent it said what it fixed

[ruby island]

got to love how verbose windows is

[ruby elk]

?

[ruby island]

it doesnt tell you

[ruby elk]

sry im not native english whats verbose

[ruby island]

you would have to look through the log for that

but its a good sign it didnt tell you errors like last time

[ruby elk]

what does verbose mean i dont speak english as 1st language

sorry

[ruby island]

means like it describes exactly what it did

or gives you feedback

[faint blade]

=> windows gives no feedback

😄

[ruby elk]

okie dokie

[faint blade]

[faint blade]

I've actually gotten that message before while using Ubuntu...

the one with the printer

[ruby elk]

about that 33/12

there is something that might interrest u:

[ruby elk]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_non-standard_dates @ruby island

[ruby island]

ya because printers are kinda difficult to setup in linux you need yo know the exact protocol it uses

lol

[ruby elk]

i like to read things like this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_2038_problem

ok ima restart now

[ruby island]

yup in 2038 the date on 32bit pcs will be reset to 1901

[ruby elk]

i read most of that

its really inteesting

[ruby island]

yeet

[ruby elk]

or this https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2550

this is even kinda funny

look at it when u have time

[ruby island]

lol

[ruby elk]

i restarted, somethong more 2 do?

[ruby island]

nope dont think so unless you want to run the sfc command

[ruby elk]

whats that

[ruby island]

its another form of check

that actually provides feedback

[ruby elk]

whats diffrent in it

[ruby island]

surprisingly enough

[faint blade]

just start the damn game and see

[ruby island]

lol

[ruby elk]

send u 2 friend requests accept plis

[ruby island]

[ruby island]

sending a windows certified firetruck your way

[faint blade]

you can write to it, but never read

[ruby island]

oh sorry it requires a windows update

hold on

[ruby elk]

my pc is lagging

have u pluggwe it in?

is it turned on?

[faint blade]

have you plugged it in

gotta love that one

[ruby island]

is it turned on?

[ruby elk]

is your brain connected to rest of your body?

[ruby island]

no

braincells = 0

[ruby elk]

sad brain noises

[ruby island]

braincells = 0
if braincells == 0:
    die()

[ruby elk]

return 0 IQ;

Int IQ=0;

FUCK IT STILL DONT WORK

@ruby island

[ruby island]

jesus

i dont fucking know then

validate game again

[ruby elk]

ok

[ruby island]

maybe the shit dism screwed with it somehow

[ruby elk]

what was that sefpnd command

second*

[ruby island]

sfc /scannow

in admin cmd

[ruby elk]

what is the diffrence

[ruby island]

idk man it scans for broken files

i havent actually looked into the differences

ok if that doesnt work i think i got 1 last thing you can try

[ruby elk]

is this that gif he showed me?

[faint blade]

😄

[ruby elk]

ok but for real what is that

[ruby island]

so validating didnt work

[ruby elk]

wait

it doing but i wanna knoe

13% now

[ruby island]

ok so you would go to your foxhole directory Engine Extras Redist en-us and install UE4PrereqSetup_x64.exe

no idea if that will help

[ruby elk]

from where would i get the file btw

22%

[ruby island]

its in your foxhole directory already

[ruby elk]

steam verified and no porblems btw

waiting for cmd

what is that file in foxhole files

[ruby island]

it installs the ue4 prerequisites

[ruby elk]

whslat are prerequisites

[ruby island]

basically stuff that is required for the game to run correctly

[ruby elk]

ok. seems reasonable to use that

[ruby island]

if that doesnt work idk what will maybe a switch to linux lol

[ruby elk]

33%

still 33%

sry ill be afk for some time. ill leave it now

[ruby island]

k

[ruby elk]

still 33%

[ruby island]

time to smash your pc 🔨

[faint blade]

Hours have passed, I finished my assignments for Uni and you guys are still here at 0% progress

Tech problems amirite

[ruby island]

windows problems amirite

wonder if there is a way to pull the logs for the session to see whats happening

[faint blade]

Only devs would know

I assume

[ruby island]

ahhhhhh

there is

they are saved in appdata/local/foxhole/saved/logs

not sure if i can figure it out tho not sure how much information that provides

[faint blade]

Search for audio keyword?

[ruby island]

it isnt even that big

ehhh maybe it will show more from someone that is erroring or having audio issues

[faint blade]

@ruby elk still alive?

[ruby island]

oooo i got another idea

ya i just found another way to recreate the xaudio files

the ue4 prereq installer will actually regenerate the xaudio files if they do not exist

meaning you can rename the xaudio2_7.dll in system32 and syswow64 and add a .backup to the end and rerun the ue4 prereq install to generate new xaudio files

i followed the same way they regenerate the xinput1_3.dll file

works for xaudio as well

i did rename the xaudio2_7 file and i had no sound in the game so for sure the game uses it

[ruby elk]

@ruby island i was afk sry

it still says 33% on " sfc /scannow "

@faint blade @ruby island

also i will end now cause it is bit late in my timezone

also what exacly are xinput1_3.dll and xaudio2_7.dll

respond to this to my DM so it dont get burried

@ruby elk

[subtle idol]

I need help, Yesterday my mic was working perfectly, but when I logged in today, it stopped working

[ruby island]

@blissful sequoia not these

i think it was vivox this entire time

here i am validating windows and shit but the error log was tracked down to vivox

oh course it would be vivox

so many issues with vivox

[subtle idol]

Are there any fixes to this issue? Nobody can't hear me and I can't hear anyone

follow that vivox is the voice chat stuff

probably broken

[subtle idol]

Ok

Nothing, still having the same issue

[ruby island]

Here you go download that select custom install and clean install

Did you change your DNS servers

[subtle idol]

It doesn't seem to repair it

[ruby island]

Hmmmm

I wonder

[subtle idol]

Will it fix itself with future patches?

And hotfixes?

Chack is sip alg is on

I highly doubt it but just to make sure

[dapper granite]

@ruby island ty

[ruby island]

Yeet

You know what just send war.log located in local foxhole logs

I doubt that's on

[subtle idol]

Do I send you a screen shot of the war.log files

[ruby island]

Post it on pastebin

As I am on phone right now

Just copy the entire log

[subtle idol]

ok

Where do I find the war.logs?

[ruby island]

Press windows key + r and type %appdata% then go back a directory into appdata folder and into local foxhole logs then open war.log and copy the entire thing to pastebin

[subtle idol]

I got lost, Can you do a step-by-step of where to located (I'm not very good at touching games files)

[ruby island]

I am on phone and can't really do a step by step what part are you stuck at

Oh not ctrl

Lol the windows key and r

[subtle idol]

I typed the windows key and r and got me with local, local low and roaming

[ruby island]

Yes go into local then foxhole

Logs and send war.log

[subtle idol]

The latest one?

[ruby island]

War.log will be the latest

But as long as you got a log after the issue started we good

[subtle idol]

This is from today

[ruby island]

Can you send that on https://pastebin.com

[subtle idol]

This is one pastebin

[ruby island]

No I mean the site

https://Pastebin.com

[subtle idol]

How should I edit it

[ruby island]

You don't need to edit it

[subtle idol]

Just copy paste

[ruby island]

Just copy and paste

[subtle idol]

Ok now what

[ruby island]

Once you created the paste post the link to it here

[subtle idol]

And how do I do that? (Total newbie here, I'm sorry)

[ruby island]

Put the contents of the log file where you can enter the text and click this

That will open a new page with a link you can copy and post here

[subtle idol]

This is what happened afterwards

[ruby island]

Yup now copy the link in your browser and paste it here

[subtle idol]

https://pastebin.com/prNJgbaz

[ruby island]

Hmmm I don't see anything out of the ordinary

Nothig to suggest voice chat is having problems

[subtle idol]

So the devs would have to fix it? Or relay it to Vivox?

[ruby island]

Well I don't see it being a dev or even a vivox issue as nobody else seems to be having the issue

Did you install udates

And then it broke

Or change something

[subtle idol]

I'm always trying to be up to date with drivers and windows

[ruby island]

Hmmm maybe a driver or windows update broke something

It's not always best to download new update immediately

As it could hve unreported issues

[subtle idol]

Yeah, I heard certain games have those issues

I'll check again the drivers

[ruby island]

Well if the game isn't reporting errors with voice chat it's something outside the games scope

Unfortunately you can't rollback windows update you are stuck there but you can try tooling back your gpu driver

[subtle idol]

I'll check again drivers, see if drivers are needing an update and talk again if I'm having issues with voice chat

[ruby island]

And you are sure voice chat is enabled and volume is up right

I think there is a volume slider for voice chat

[subtle idol]

Everything in voice chat is enabled and set it for my headphones

Like where the input and output going through

[ruby island]

Hmmm this might be completely useless but you can try validating windows files

[subtle idol]

It's fixed

Thank you very much

For your time Cuz,

[ruby island]

What fixed it

[subtle idol]

The voice chat

[ruby island]

The files?

Vivox

Or was it off

[dapper granite]

The game started before updating the video driver. Now it starts and immediately an error.

@ruby island yes

[ruby island]

Did you reboot a total of 2 times one was a count down and the other you had to manually reboot

If so launch dxdiag

And send a ss of the display tab

[ruby island]

At the top there are tabs go 2 to the right

And send a ss

[dapper granite]

this?

[ruby island]

No

Click that

[ruby island]

Oof maybe that isn't right what does the tab say

[dapper granite]

pls say what info u nead

[ruby island]

Can you translate what this says

I cannot read your language

Translate?

[subtle jungle]

Sound(audio?) one

[ruby island]

Hmmm I need the video or display one

[subtle jungle]

second tab

[ruby island]

Ah ok can you as the second tab then

[ruby island]

So the drivers from what I can tell haven't been installed

The clean install uninstalled the drivers on first reboot but launches the reinstall after the reboot

Once that install is finished then reboot

[dapper granite]

ok. install again. ty for u time and patience

reborn 💪

[ruby island]

There you go have fun

[terse flume]

is the dev team track that the wargame engine doesn't work on the 2020 drivers yet?

and do they have plans to fix this issue?

@native birch

[native birch]

are you referring to the AMD graphics drivers issue?

[terse flume]

yes sir

[native birch]

by dev team do you mean us or AMD's?

the crash is inside of their driver code atm, so it's not something we can fix on our end. they'd have to investigate the issue and fix it, and release an update that's hopefully more stable

[terse flume]

either is fine lol so as long as it's fixed

[native birch]

I don't know if they know about it though

[terse flume]

yeah I figured it was but I wasn't sure

[native birch]

I wouldn't be surprised if that last minute december patch was to fix some critical issues for another game's release

but who knows

[tribal forum]

Hey there, I was online in game, and suddenly received a "could not connect to server." message. I tried going back out to the main menu and relogging, but when I did, I got the message "failed to download profile [1], contact our support page if the issue persists." Tried doing a full game reboot, still got the same "failed to download" message. Anyone know what to do here?

[ruby island]

if it happened during a game maybe a server issue

try relaunching steam

[tribal forum]

Relaunch fixed it, thanks :)

I'll repost if it does it again.

[terse flume]

.

[verbal mica]

this keeps popping up as soon as i enter a region. the good ol' "just play it again, maybe it'll work the second time" no longer works. help

[terse flume]

Same thing's happening to me!

[ruby island]

@verbal mica @terse flume what gpu do you both use and are you overclocking them

[subtle idol]

Hello, I'm still having issues with Foxhole's local voice chat. In the chat box, it says its connected but no voice icon pops up my character's head.

https://pastebin.com/xUETCLpK

I repeated all procedures from yesterday and everything is up to date.

I don't know what's the issue right now. It doesn't connect me at all.

[ruby island]

I thought you said it was fixed

The log shows no errors to do with voice chat as far as I can tell

Set your default communication device to your normal speakers

And make sure default is set on your mic

[subtle idol]

It was fixed, but when I booted up the game today, I couldn't hear no voice. Gonna try what you say and see if it changed anything

[ruby island]

@subtle idol did you get it working

[faint blade]

thecuz1 to the rescue

[subtle idol]

@ruby island Nope nothing working :/

[ruby island]

hmmm ok time to slowly eliminate issues first shutdown the game validate it and restart steam

and see if there is a change

if there is no change disable and reenable voice chat in game

[subtle idol]

ok

No sound

[ruby island]

no sound at all?

or just vc

[subtle idol]

Voice chat not working

Sound is perfect

[ruby island]

did you change your dns servers

[subtle idol]

Is DNS for individual PCs or does it affect the people who are connected?

[ruby island]

well dns by default is set to your default gateway which then probably pulls from your isps dns servers but when you explicitly set dns servers through windows it will only affect that pc everyone else on the network will use the default gateway unless configured

your isps dns server could have out dated records or incorrect information

[subtle idol]

Ok, so how do I change my DNS server. I've already read the articles and it's not like the article says

[ruby island]

open control panel >> network and internet >> change adapter settings >> double click either wifi or ethernet which ever you are using >> click properties >> double click internet protocol version 4 >> select use the following dns server addresses and enter 1.1.1.1 as preferred and 1.0.0.1 as alternative

then open cmd in administrator and run ipconfig /flushdns

yup there you go you are on cloudflares dns now

[subtle idol]

What does that mean?

[ruby island]

cloudflare is one of the largest internet protection companys and has one of the fastest servers network wise

https://1.1.1.1/dns/

anyways lets see if that solved your issue

[subtle idol]

So I'm gonna be "protected" and I can use the voice chat freely w/o bothering other users in a house

Gonna test it

[ruby island]

no no you are not protected you are only on the fastest dns servers

dns is just a lookup for domains

they provide protection against ddos attacks for websites

if that doesnt fix your issue i guess next up is validating windows files

[subtle idol]

Did I needed to restart steam or my computer to put it through_

[ruby island]

maybe

tho clearing dns cache should have cleared all dns cache

[subtle idol]

Could the firewall be an issue?

That's not allowing me to communicate? Because right now, I allowed access to the firewall and I can speak freely now.

Gonna speak in vc to see if they can hear me

[ruby island]

hmmm a firewall doesnt just deny access when it feels like it if it worked in the first place and nothing changed it would stay that way

[blissful sequoia]

there is a specific vivox error for DNS not resolving

[ruby island]

thats great to know

well the randomness of the issue feels like a dns issue

[blissful sequoia]

well its an easy test, seems totally reasonable

[subtle idol]

Thanks for the help cuz, let's see if tomorrow I can still talk in vc normally now that everything changed

[ruby island]

so its working currently?

[subtle idol]

YEs

[ruby island]

weird

maybe it was dns

idk

[subtle idol]

This is the only game right now that is giving me issues with comms

[ruby island]

well hope its fixed permanently now

[subtle idol]

Yeah, let's hope

[ruby island]

ping me if it has further issues

[subtle idol]

Ok Cuz

[fallen rover]

anyone else has issues when launching the game ? it disconnects my monitor...

it's the only game it happens, and it's only when launching

i have to manually disconnect the monitor and reconnect it

[ruby island]

hmmm does the game crash? what gpu do you have? is everything up to date?

also when a application goes full screen DWM will pass off rendering directly to your driver causing your monitor to loose signal for a brief second depending on your monitor it might take some time before the monitor sees the new signal and starts displaying it

[ruby island]

my monitor takes about 4 seconds to recover from the lost signal tho i have seen monitors take much longer

[lavish mist]

Hey everyone if i start foxhole it loads a bit than this happens

[ruby island]

@lavish mist downgrade your gpu drivers to 19.12.1

If you are on windows 10 heres the download https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/release-notes/rn-rad-win-19-12-1

[inner basin]

how do you know he has a AMD card XD

[ruby island]

Hasent failed yet just guessing

Plus same way the and driver acts

Loads a bit then crashes

[merry bane]

Hey everyone! When I enter the spawn, there is always one error appearing: "War service connection failed. Error: ConnectionFailed-Could not initialize connection". As a result, when I try to deploy, I see only empty battlefield map -- without any markers on it, like on the screenshot. But I still receive messages like "Structure near {placename} is under attack". I didnt have any internet problems in other games. How can I fix this?

Situation is quite better when I try to deploy myself from tent, not from hangars or shipyard, but I still cant deploy. Dont see any markers either.

[ruby island]

hmm do you have an antivirus

or have you checked that foxhole has access in the firewall

[mint nimbus]

So i get a Fatal error when i start the game and i don't know why and i been wanting to play

Nevermind i seen a previous post.

[ruby island]

downgrade graphics drivers to 19.12.1

[mint nimbus]

Yeah i just seen a past post about it

[ruby island]

yeet

[blissful sequoia]

@merry bane try the pinned message about changing your DNS server

[mint nimbus]

did AMD f up their drivers? lol

[merry bane]

I have added the Foxhole in Exclusions in Windows 10 Firewall, still have an error. Dont have any antiviris expect Windows 10 one

[ruby island]

basically

[merry bane]

Will try, Derp

[ruby island]

well not just add it in exclusions but you must go into advanced firewall stuff and make sure on all instances of foxhole it has access

make sure they are all green

[blissful sequoia]

you dont need to add exceptions for foxhole in the firewall by default

foxhole is all outgoing stuff, it should just work unless youve messed with your firewall

[ruby island]

thats incoming tho

[blissful sequoia]

fine but foxhole has no listening ports

there is no reason to allow incoming stuff

[ruby island]

then why would both tcp and udp be allowed

[blissful sequoia]

ive never seen a problem with foxhole and the windows firewall. sometimes 3rd party antiviruses have problems when they include a firewall, or sometimes the home router has problems

[mint nimbus]

That driver issue worked.

[ruby island]

well at some point foxhole did request windows firewall to create those rules

for both the war.exe and win shipping files

[merry bane]

@blissful sequoia I already had 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4. DNS, have changed it to 08.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220 as recommended, error still exist

[ruby island]

i would recommend 1.1.1.1 but that wil not solve your issue googles dns is well enough to avoid errors like that

has the game worked before

or is this a new issue

[blissful sequoia]

Well it could be the router or antivirus then. You can rule out antivirus by trying a vpn like tunnelbear. If that works then it's likely a network issue in your router or ISP

[ruby island]

have you checked the firewall rules you never know

[blissful sequoia]

Uhh wait a sec...

Make sure you're in the right deployment spot, some of them have maps where you can't deploy anywhere, if you walk a few more feet closer it works

I dunno why they included that it's very confusing

[merry bane]

@ruby island well, when I have launched this game first time, this error already was. This happened 2-3 days ago.

I have also tried to let firewall fully ignore Foxhole by ur advanced firewall miniguide, but I have already did that thing, while was trying to solve this problem by my own.

[ruby island]

hmmmm

[merry bane]

@blissful sequoia I have tried multiple deployment spots, like shipyard, hangars, tent, crawled like whole deployment space near them. Still no markers and no possibility to deploy, the only difference between them is tent have some things in left part of the screen, other are not. I have already send some screenshots here about this.

[blissful sequoia]

oh ok

ive seen a few people who had this problem then, i do not know how they ever resolved it

i just assume its a network problem

[ruby island]

i am assuming you tried the normal things restarted the game verified the files restarted steam restarted computer correct

[blissful sequoia]

the log file might even indicate what the problem is

[ruby island]

maybe

[merry bane]

@ruby island ya, I have restarted computer few times for this 2-3 days, also reinstalled Foxhole few times and verified files once

Will try get log

[ruby island]

press win button + r and type %appdata% go up a directory aka back one into the actual appdata folder and go to local/foxhole/saved/logs and send the war.log on https://pastebin.com

[merry bane]

Besides War log, I have also like 10 War-backup logs, should I send them too? All dated by today

[ruby island]

well war.log will be the last or latest log that was generated you can send the others as well most likely the same result if there is an error

[merry bane]

Well, I have uploaded the first log, will also upload other 10 https://pastebin.com/qBCgV0Ek

First war-backup one https://pastebin.com/34dH4Aiz

Second war-backup one

https://pastebin.com/8FYZ3uZP

Third one https://pastebin.com/Qi2s1m7U

Fourth one https://pastebin.com/YCxM7MRu

[blissful sequoia]

i am suspicious of the "Failed to set wsi socket options", this suggests a web socket that cannot open

e.g. it cannot connect to the website for the information

your computer clock is set right and everything?

[ruby island]

thats what i was looking at

[merry bane]

I once had problem with connection to Origin, what was solved by changing computer clock, but it was more then half-year ago, maybe I have even reinstalled Windows for this time

Will try set computer clock again

[blissful sequoia]

you can just let it set its time automatically

[ruby island]

ya if timing is off it could prevent you from connecting

[blissful sequoia]

see the bummer, thecuz1, is that the developers wont share ip address or DNS names, so we cant make an easy test to determine why the network wont connect

every once in a while they let something slip, we figure it out, then they remove it

they dont want us to know where the servers are

its absolutely maddening. but they also dont help people with the bugs often

[ruby island]

you can just use wireshark to capture the packets origin

[blissful sequoia]

yea but the addresses change so you have to do it often

[ruby island]

its a different server for every region

[blissful sequoia]

right but even those change sometimes

[ruby island]

hmmm

[blissful sequoia]

and the voice servers change all the time

[ruby island]

i bet you could capture the dns requests going out to dns servers as well

[blissful sequoia]

yep, you could. if you cared enough

[ruby island]

that way you can have a dns addresses that will always link to a server

[blissful sequoia]

but the same 5 problems becomes very old here, and they dont seem to care to fix any of it

[ruby island]

it would take me 10 seconds to grab the dns address of the home region

since all dns requests are unencrypted its sinple

[merry bane]

@blissful sequoia looks like time and timezone on my PC are already set automaticly

[blissful sequoia]

i never said it was impossible

i said its maddening. you will see

ok harbinger, then its probably not an ssl certificate error... 🤔

do you have a 3rd party antivirus or firewall?

[merry bane]

Only Windows 10 ones

Nothing more

[blissful sequoia]

well damn.

you could try tunnelbear, if it connects, then i suspect the router is the problem

[ruby island]

or just protonvpn

but why would it be the router

unles the routers time is set incorrectly

[blissful sequoia]

i dunno, parental guard, weird stuff like that

it doesnt help that foxhole uses like 15 different ip addresses and methods of connection

some work, then some fail

like tcp/udp/websockets and then 10+ different servers

[merry bane]

I have already used some vpn day ago, problem wasnt solved, but i tried only once, will try again

[blissful sequoia]

oh interesting if the vpn didnt solve it

that would suggest the problem is entirely on your PC

[ruby island]

yup some software doing some weird stuff to web sockets

installing linux will fix the issue for sure

no issues like this would appear on there

[blissful sequoia]

have you tried totally disabling the windows firewall temporarily?

[merry bane]

Nope, will try now

[blissful sequoia]

do you know where to find that?

[merry bane]

maybe x D

[blissful sequoia]

in the firewall, right click windows defender firewall with ... -> propertiers -> in 3 tabs, domain profile, private profile, public profile, switch the Firewall state to Off

and apply

[merry bane]

Switched off, tried again, still war service error

[blissful sequoia]

ok so not the windows firewall then, you can turn it back on

it really feels like theres another firewall somewhere ... 🤔
youre sure the VPN had the same problem?

[ruby island]

update windows maybe

validate windows?

update network driver?

[blissful sequoia]

our assumption is the websocket is the problem

i guess the driver stack might be the cause of that

[ruby island]

well it is maybe something else causing the websocket to fail you never know

[blissful sequoia]

yeah...

[ruby island]

troubleshooting is about eliminating as many variables as possible

[blissful sequoia]

i would blame the router, but if he says a vpn didnt work either, im not sure. i would need confirmation the vpn was functioning tho

[merry bane]

I have checked Windows, have latest version, but can upload some optional update

Already doing it

[ruby island]

time to bust out good old dism

[merry bane]

I'm sure when i tried play Foxhole with VPN I still had same problem, but I'm not sure I used VPN correctly

[ruby island]

open command prompt in admin

and run DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

once that finishes restart

[blissful sequoia]

do you have any chicken entrails?

[ruby island]

what?

[merry bane]

Well idk what chicken entrails means in this situation

[ruby island]

what even is that

[young linden]

I keep getting the error Failed to Download Profile[1]

[ruby island]

do you have an antivirus?

[merry bane]

btw I have run this thing what thecuz recommended, it is now 100%, but its dont show new C:\Windows\system32, is this OK?

[ruby island]

hmmm?

doesnt show new system32

[merry bane]

I mean when u do run something in cmd and PC did it, he send new C:\Windows\system32 in cmd for u if u need to run something else

[blissful sequoia]

usually restarting steam fixes it, cyprus

[young linden]

k

[ruby island]

ohhh you mean cmd goes back to the opened path

ya that means the command has finished

restart your pc

[merry bane]

k, restarting

Restarted

[ruby island]

ok start the game and check

[merry bane]

still exist

damn

[ruby island]

hmmm is this a laptop

[merry bane]

Nope, PC

[ruby island]

do you know your motherboard or the manufacture of the pc

or was it built

[merry bane]

Well, my motherboard model is Z170M-D3H, checked in cmd

[ruby island]

ok can you go to the manufactures site and enter that model and grab the network drivers

[merry bane]

Z170-D3H-CF if correctly

Will try

[ruby island]

also you can try these 2 commands netsh int ip reset and netsh winsock reset

in cmd

[merry bane]

Installed LAN drvers, tried this 2 commands, rebooted PC

Launched the game, problem still exist

[blissful sequoia]

try vpn again, confirm your ip address changes when you use vpn

[merry bane]

Used Windscribe VPN (cuz couldn't approve tunnelbear though email, tunnelbear official site gave error when tried to get on it, anyway approved tunnelbear by another vpn) confirmed IP change, changed my IP to German, joined foxhole, problem still exist

Damn

[blissful sequoia]

you confirmed your ip changed and the vpn is working?

[merry bane]

Confirmed IP change though the one website, also approved tunnelbear though VPN, couldnt do it without it

[blissful sequoia]

ok hmm ... so weird. so so weird.

youre sure you dont have anything else like an antivirus? spybot or something?

avast particularly overzealous about this stuff

[merry bane]

Well I don't remember I have any antivirus now, Im pretty sure I dont have any one expect Windows 10 one, but I once had uploaded CCleaner

Maybe, when I upload it, it uploaded antivirus on my PC

I remember something about this, I was deleting antivirus also by deleting it holder at Program Files (x86)

I have checked also Program Files (x86) for any antivirus holders, didnt found those

Also CCleaner was deleted from my PC recently

Also checked Task Manager processes, no sign of any anti-virus processes, for now, but I have found COM Surrogate

[ruby island]

thats an official windows process

[merry bane]

Well, idk, its doesnt look like Windows process

[ruby island]

there for me as well

its a dll host program stored in system32

[merry bane]

ok, u know more in this ^^

[ruby island]

tho its strange why you have 2

ohhh 1 might be 32 bit

and the other 64

[merry bane]

They both stored in system32 and looks loke they are the same dllhost

But it is a offtopic I think

[blissful sequoia]

i wonder if there are any manual entries stored in c:\windows\system32\etc\drivers\hosts

[merry bane]

Well I dont have etc in system32 and hosts in entire system32

[blissful sequoia]

oops

c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

[merry bane]

Still dont have etc in drivers

same for hosts

[blissful sequoia]

thats weird

[ruby island]

on some systems the hosts file could just not be there

[blissful sequoia]

but the entire etc directory too?

[ruby island]

i have seen it before

really

[merry bane]

no etc at entire system32

But hosts in system32

[blissful sequoia]

[ruby island]

hosts file shouldnt be in the system32 directory

[merry bane]

Sorry, they not in system32, misinformated you

[violet schooner]

I dont want to interrupt. but my laptop just short circuited. it doesnt start up. not on battery and not on the charger.
is my battery fried or is it worse?

[ruby island]

well if it doesnt start on power then your battery isnt the issue

[violet schooner]

😅

[ruby island]

if the circuit is built correctly the charger should give power to the machine regardless of the battery being there

[violet schooner]

then the motherboard or other components might have been fried then, does it affect my SSD too or are my files safe?

[ruby island]

your ssd and files should be perfectly fine

any power would have hit the motherboard first and would have likely killed it

[violet schooner]

alright, there goes my hope for losing my files and getting an extension for my homework XD

[ruby island]

its extremely unlikely that your files are messed with

so no leds on at all

[violet schooner]

nope, everythings dead

doesnt respond to verbal or physical stimuli

[ruby island]

verbal or physical stimuli

[violet schooner]

XD

[ruby island]

did you here a spark or see one

or what happened

[violet schooner]

I was uninstalling inventor 2020 manually

I had to delete a file in a hidden system map

pressed delete and then boom

[ruby island]

maybe a capacitor or a transistor blew

[violet schooner]

this folder C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\Inventor 2020

[ruby island]

how old is the laptop

[violet schooner]

its new XD

but I had to replace the charger

I think I got a fake replacement and that didnt go well

[ruby island]

well looks like you need a motherboard replacement as well

was it on warrenty

[violet schooner]

yeah

[ruby island]

well then send it in and get a replacment motherboard

[violet schooner]

I contracted a 4 year long warranty because I was afraid it got stolen.

[blissful sequoia]

you gonna try to get your files off before sending it in?

[ruby island]

warranty wouldnt cover it being stolen

warranty is for failed parts

[violet schooner]

the most important files have been backed up in onedrive so thats that

I got both

I can still acces my homework and stuff so thats fine

but I need my laptop next friday and I dont think I will get a replacement that soon

[ruby island]

warranty is for manufactures faults your laptop being stolen isnt a manufacture fault

they wouldnt cover that

[violet schooner]

insurance is probably the better word

[ruby island]

i have never seen insurance offered on a laptop

[violet schooner]

I would get the insurance files to confirm it but I am not sure where they are and I want to shower

[ruby island]

nvm you cant do that

[merry bane]

ya

Need trustedInstaller thing

[ruby island]

i think thats your issue tho that ws2_32 file has a function that is not returning correctly

[merry bane]

How can i fix this?

[ruby island]

idk

[merry bane]

bruh

[ruby island]

hmmmm maybe it is dns

[merry bane]

I had google DNS from the uploading of this game

[ruby island]

try switching to 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1 as dns

[merry bane]

k

Problem still exist

[ruby island]

did you clean dns cache

ipconfig /flushdns

[merry bane]

I must run this in cmd?

[ruby island]

yup

[merry bane]

cmd have error message when i run this

Error: unrecognized or incomplete command line.

[ruby island]

lol flushdns

ipconfig /flushdns

[merry bane]

dns cache cleaned

[ruby island]

restart game

and check

if that doesnt work i am at a loss

[merry bane]

It doesnt work

Damn

[blissful sequoia]

it sure seems like dns

[merry bane]

idk

I was with google dns when uploaded this game and faced this bug and was until came here

[blissful sequoia]

yea evidently its not the dns server, but it may be dns resolution more generically

this is why i was curious about the hosts file

if we knew the dns of the server, it would be easy to just ping it and see if it resolves, but we dont. because

and maybe that warning we saw in the logs has been a red herring all along

[ruby island]

well i noticed this error every time so i searched up the function some causes for that error is dns

thats why i thought it was dns but clearly its not unless there is something in the hosts file

[blissful sequoia]

getproto by name is a weird function tho to .. hmm

weve had so many issues with dns that it fits the bill but then we cant replicate it. also dns would be consistent with the VPN not working either

i believe they use amazonaws for hosting web pages (and maybe websockets) so its a relatively common DNS to hijack/redirect

a nslookup test might be good to make sure hes got the dns server set right, maybe its set on the wrong network device or w/e

[faint blade]

.. get protocol by name

yea idk

[waxen nymph]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K9FQsmsG9cM

[plush heron]

Whenever I play more then 5 minutes the game freezes and says connection timed out

Devs fix this

[ruby island]

@plush heron can you send a log that you know the issue is within to get to logs press win + r and type %appdata% go back a directory aka into the appdata folder and go into local\foxhole\saved\logs

also war.log is the latest log generated

[blissful sequoia]

if it consistently disconnects after 5 minutes, maybe its a firewall/router/antivirus problem

5 minutes is the magic 300 seconds time, lots of timeouts happen at 5 minutes

[nocturne cairn]

@terse flume ask here

they'll know more

[terse flume]

when i laucnh the game i get a message that says UE4 fatal error

is that cuz i also have epic games open?

[nocturne cairn]

@blissful sequoia

any idea?

[blissful sequoia]

uhh amd video card

[terse flume]

yea

[blissful sequoia]

roll back drivers, check pinned message

[ruby island]

downgrade to 19.12.1

i mean epic games it pretty shit too so you can just remove that in the mean time

[terse flume]

i felt that

[ruby island]

lol

[karmic bison]

Any tech-ies online? I just found out my email was breached and i got 11 emails saying somebody from another country is logging in yikes

[terse flume]

@karmic bison enable steam guard on your account?

maybe change it to 'verify through mobile phone number'

[karmic bison]

Will give it a try 👍 ty

[blissful sequoia]

just change your email password

[ruby island]

you must change the password for accounts that have similar or the same passwords as well

i would recommend a password manager like lastpass

[merry bane]

So my problem have no fixing, huh? x D

[ruby island]

did you change your dns server on the right adapter

[merry bane]

Doesn't we already tried this? With 1.1.1.1 etc

[ruby island]

no but usually there is multiple adapters if you changed the wrong one the dns servers would take effect
