Well, seems or I have only ethernet adapter, or idk how to do this
if there is only one then you did it correctly and i have no idea how to help
only think i can think of is the ws2 file is corrupt
Bruh my game is black screen crashing and every time i try to change preferred FULLSCREEN it changes back after i start game
(does not work after the change and reverts the saved file back to a 1 instead of 0)
@long locust do you have a amd card and does it give you fatal error
I just found out im rolling back drivers rn
19.12.1
ya the 2020 driver was a massive change
Yeah
so bugs are going to be there
I mean the card i got has a glitch where 75hz monitors and below lose frames XD
do you have vsync on
ah ok
i think they may have fixed that one tho but there is still one where ocasionally u drop frames if stream on in background
and while it does have many draw backs it was a cheap card that is better than a 1070 vr card
why would it have draw backs nvidia gets its share of but as well
on the software side of things amd is much better
and better price to performance
@long locust wait, your monitor is <75hz?
i dont even have the software
i just directly installed the driver
i dont like software running like that on my pc
It is nice tbh
And btw RIGHT as the game launched my internet went out LUL what is my luck
So I have this voip connection issue where my game not play my mic wouldn't play my sounds but when it does, my voice broken. My mic and voip has worked other games like this suck as Squad, Project Reality, and Post Scriptum where VOIP is essential. I need help. (EDIT): not only that when people uses the local voip, their voice is broken too. The game isn't lagging at all.
you can try disabling and enabling your sound device in the device manager of windows. otherwise there is a pinned message about it
voicemeeter
voicemeter is wonderful
Not only it can help with mic issues
But you can use it to micspam with the help of a soundboard
Hello everyone, how can i change my faction for join my team mate ?
@toxic stream Please DM @coarse trail with your Steam64ID 🙂
How can I set a double combination hotkey in the Keyboard Configuration
like LeftControl + Left Click
hi. i am issues with sound. i am using bluetooth headphones with no mic. a couple days ago, when I load foxhole, my sound becomes muffled, cuts out every 30 seconds, and I cant hear voice chat.
ive got the same problem with bluetooth. perhaps its headset vs speakers connection of bluetooth
theres 2 ways bluetooth can connect audio, and one is bad quality
its for telephone use
but in my experience bluetooth doesnt work with this game
Hey got a problem again yes its a AMD graphics card and foxhole will just keep crashing. I had a issue with FPS and the only way I could fix it was by updating my graphics card. is there anyway to fix foxhole without downgrading? If not is there a ETA on when the problem will be fixed so I dont have to downgrade to play foxhole
there is a DXVK hack if you search back in this room for the one posted by thecuz1
its for newer video cards with vulkan support only
Dxvk has the issue of if foxhole ever implements a anti cheat you will be flagged for using dxvk so I would advise against it also I don't see that driver update fixing that bad of a performance issue it only gives about a 12% boost to 5700 cards most likely because of the new architecture usage in the driver
Max I can see is. 5 - 10 fps increase of the previous driver also that's dependent of the game as well foxhole might not ever reflect the 12% increase
Also dxvk converts calls from directx to Vulkan so the performance impact might just negate any performance changes to the driver
plz fix it
@undone oxide. if I can remember correctly you can move the squad menu or at least minimalize it
Just click at drag at the top
not movable
what that shit will be fixed?
Well if it's on their side yes it will be fixed
@ruby island for the FPS fix it actually did do a major fix at least for me, increased every game that literally wanted to stay on 20 FPS and then when I updated everything sky rockected past 80 FPS
anyway thats not the point point is it 100% nessary to downgrade inorder to play foxhole
what gpu do you have
its not 100% nessesary you can do the dxvk trick but i advise against it
for the reason above
im not doing that thing XD
i am curious what gpu do you have
hmmmm i have a 480 that is slightly less poweful then your gpu and i run the game perfectly fine on older drivers
that leads me to beleive there is more then gpu drivers at fault
yea idk i been investigating the FPS lose but idk whats actually causing it all i know that the update fixed it
Was gonna wipe my PC but then it fixed so I backed off on that idea
i think its a bit more of a issue then just gpu drivers tho that would be strange if so
as the perofrmance effect would only for for rdna cards
aka 5700 series
as the drivers now use rdns instruction set
maybe the older version of the drivers didnt install correctly
try downgrading to 19.12.1 but do a fresh install
instead of a normal
thats the version im on now and i have no issues with fps
remember your gpu is more powerful then mine
so idk what your issue is or was
you can try to install the old drivers again
@gray prism and apperently amd now has 20.1.1 which has some massive fixes so maybe its fixed i have no idea
actually you know what they know about the issue i have searched those games and one does in fact use unreal 4 engine the others do not say but i suspect they all use unreal engine 4 and amd knows there are issues
that means maybe next driver update there will most likely be a patch
Has happened several times already . 2-3 times when hopping on another region and 1-2 times when im just walkin around.
@prime lava what gpu do you have?
Nvidia 1050 Ti
new update for AMD
fixes the crashing so I think all the AMD graphics users can update to max now and play
@prime lava try updating your gpu drivers and valdating your game
Whenever somebody uses the in game chat for me there words are in short bursts constantly cutting out sometimes intelligible
Unable to join the war, endless loading screen.
Noted that my profile's picture is different - unable to retrieve profile is what game tells me when I try to edit it
hey there's this weird bug that yacawni can't play the game because he switched to collie, can anyone explain this?
try restarting steam, thanks
feel like there is a bit more that you are not telling us but tell them to dm @coarse trail to inquire about why they were banned and how if possible you can get unbanned
he is being sarcstic, @ruby island
huh
he is being facetious
ummmm ok
yah welcome to foxhole community...
this community makes as much sense as this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_F_srVwzzs0

My sound now no longer works. I am using standard bluetooth headphones. When I run foxhole, when I minimize the game and open youtube and play a video, I get no sound as well. When I go to voice, and hit reconnect, i get 5 seconds of sound then nothing
also, the sound works on the inital screen, but cuts out on the main screen
yah i cant get bluetooth sound to work either
have no idea why a bluetooth sound would affect this
probably an issue with voice chat
have you tried with a set of wired headphones? i bet it works
I havn't bought the game yet cause Im wondering if my computer will handle it. Do you think an i7-4600U and Intel Graphics Family will handle it?
with low frame rates, also make sure it has dx11 support, but that gpu will really struggle
I can't hear local and squad voice chat. It happened after I decrease and increase the game volume. Help please
just tried it didn't work
@community help
@still kindle you have tried reconnecting mic right?
mic isn't the problem, i can't hear other people in both local and squad voice chat. Also, I can hear ambient and sfx sounds
Try resetting your default communication device in windows sound for playback @still kindle
Set it back to your headphones
Or whatever you use for sound
Then restart the game
I'm having some issues. I recently built a new computer and foxhole is not starting on it. I'm getting a message saying UE4-Wargame has crashed, and a fatal error message. I have the latest drivers, and I never installed any GPU overclocking software when I set this PC up
AMD video card?
Yes
classic problem. some bug in the newest AMD drivers. i think there is a pinned message that explains which version of the amd video drivers to roll back to
it may also fix other unreal engine based games
its known by amd
Thats like, a month old. You think they would've fixed it by now
and will probably be pushed next update
I mean, several driver updates have been pushed
they had a lot more issues to fix that then for the 2020 drivers
it was essentially a massive change that broke lots of things
or maybe unreal will get updated first
either way theres a fix for it, so thats good
Okay
games would have to implament the new uynreal version which would take some time
developers seem to be slow at unreal version adoption
I loathe to backdate my drivers this far back, but oh well
20.1.2
the 20 update actually was a massive bug fix update and the update that shows games that use unreal engine as having issues
so as they were developing 20 they found out about the issue
and will probably fix in next update
Yo my friend keeps on having critical errors when launching foxhole. We have tried installing on different drives, verifying integrity, restarting, and trusting through the firewall and nothing works. Any help?
ue4-wargame
is it an AMD card?
YES
I fixed my voice chat problem. Apparently the problem was I changed the default program to open mp3 files to windows media player. So, I changed it back to groove music. Idk why it causes me to don't hear in game voice chat but it fixed the problem
weird
@still kindle I will try that. I just remembered I had issues with the in game voice after I opened some music files and put the standard program to open mp3 files to VLC
Hey guys my friend is getting the war server connection failed. error: connection failed could not initialize connection which isnt allowing him to play the game
is this a known issue?
Hi I'm werrega new to the server and game
If been heaving problems loding in I hit play and sit there like 10 15 mins and it just sits there loding
Hi something's wrong with my voice connection because everyone's choppy when they talk and I can't use Voice at all.
anyone eles crashing?
i got like 5 fata errors now it wont launch
vailided the files aswell
@warm moat does it give you "fatal error" on launch and do you have a amd card
if so downgrade your drivers to 19.12.1
make sure to clean install 19.12.1 otherwise it might not work
Hello my friend is trying to launch the game but keeps getting this pop up
Hi everyone! I've been having some issues with the VoIP. I've tried deleting the local cache, steam cache, reinstalled Foxhole etc and the issue still persists. After War #45 the VoIP just stopped working. If I press T or G nothing happens. Even when I try to press the key for 'local' nothing happens. There is no symbol above my character and when I press the key for squad nothing happens.
All other games the headset works. Discord works fine as well. My headset is the Astro A20 Gaming Wireless if that helps. I've also tried using the default system settings in the Voice setting in-game but nothing works.
i cant join because it cant download my profile
Hi !, im having a problem with my game. It's always ended up freeze when i tried to travel to another region
is that integrated server or dev server?
Do you have a anti virus or firewall blocking the connection
need help with mic problems
anyone else getting fatal error on startup
I'm running out of ideas I need help it's driving me mad: WHY does my mouse cursor ALWAYS goes on the TOP LEFT CORNER every time I open an inventory or the map, ONLY when I am in a vehicle????
@terse flume install 19.12.1
@terse flume last amd driver cause crash on startup
Clean install actually
@wary furnace what about in window mode and not in full screen
I am in windowed full screen
Try going full screen then
I have to play on windowed mode, so even if it works on full screen it wont be okay for me
(but ill check)
Why
dual monitor work
Hmmm k
Report: fullscreen doesnt help, still bugged
You sure you are not just looking forward using your mouse in the vehicle then going to the map
That would set it to the position
certain, it happens both when I open or close the map, mouse cursor middle of the screen, then teleports in top left corner
windows 8, dual screen
happens only when I am in a vehicle (just tested truck and crane)
Well I don't see why that would be
A vehicle shouldt make a difference
The camera acts the same wether in a vehicle or on foot just without the line for a gun
You can also try validating the game
It might be a corrupt file if it's only the vehicle
did you validate the game
testing now after validation, but it didnt seem to repalce any file
well you might have to reinstall the game
maybe but if it was it would be a little more popular as you would say that is really annoying
Why does my server connection keep timing out
do you have a antivirus or a firewall blocking the connection
@wary furnace that's normal for me
oh no dont tell me that bug is now there
also that seems like some very specific times
are you sure you dont have anything managing your network
@inner basin normal? How the hell mouse teleportation is normal?
Yeah I made sure I checked
I mean I just assumed because I was thinking everytime you open a menu, it last remembers where your mouse cursor was, something like that
Open menu, then when closed return cursor to position it was in before it was open
no it resets your mouse to 0,0
Pretty weird logic though ngl
thats not normal
Nah I don't have that then
yeah check the clip image is worth thousands words as they say
happens on every menu, map, inventories, going to refinery becomes tedious
It just started yesterday @ruby island
A few other people were having it yesterday too
hmmm if you didnt change anything since then it could be your isp
ah well if its a common issue then its the server
Yeah it's just really annoyinglol
hmmm if its happening the same way and other people experience it at the same time its the server but i doubt they would have server issues for a whole day like that
it might just be your isp
or your connection is getting saturated
So updated drivers, reinstalled the game, restarted the computer, still bugged 😭
i can't play the game
when is gunboat unlocked? tectree ingame looks like it is
@floral sparrow we can expect to have gunboats at ~11:45am EST
Is the character suppost to be deaf in game?
@naive topaz try this https://discordapp.com/channels/203512636556574720/551236268004999168/551238198995451924
Is there an up to date linux guide/tldr i can link a friend thats considering picking the game up?
@restive quarry should work out of the box with proton (steam play) setup on steam
make sure you go into steam settings and set steam play for all games
then just start the game like normal on steam
also another thing you can do is install gamemode (https://github.com/FeralInteractive/gamemode) and add gamemoderun %command% to steam launch options to help with performance
just install gamemode with whatever package manager they use
@ruby island it didn't work completely
completely?
does it work at all or just issues
if it doesnt work at all and that didnt help try this https://discordapp.com/channels/203512636556574720/551236268004999168/551238446379696130 but i would use 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1 as primiary and secondary dns as they are better then googles dns
it at least shows that people are talking
so it shows them talking visually but you dont hear them
ok so try to change your dns to 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1 and run ipconfig /flushdns in an admin command prompt
Hey guys, bought the game a week ago or so and only managed an hour before getting a fatal error crash on start.
Uninstalled and reinstalled, worked for a couple more hours, but the next start-up it got the fatal error crash.
Tried it again and now it doesn't start at all. I've tried verifying the file integrity and it comes back without any errors. Started it with my OC software turned completely off and it still won't start. Very frustrating for a game that I've only put three hours into.
Any advice or a place I can send logs to?
@split grail do you have a amd card?
if so do a clean install of 19.12.1 driver https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/release-notes/rn-rad-win-19-12-1
Cheers @ruby island
Hi, just bought the game and have no audio coming through at all. checked outputs for everything and it's all correct. installed the prereq too and still nothing. Any ideas?
check if your headphone is conected to the game at the voice settings
@knotty birch installing prereqs only look for missing DLL files but does not look for corrupted files foxhole uses xaudio2_7.dll for sound not sure if they use it exclusively but assuming outputs are correct the the game volume is up both in game and the audio mixer then you will probably have to validate windows files but opening admin command prompt and typing DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth and restart after finishing this will make sure you have no corrupted files with windows past that make sure your gpu drivers are up to date with the exception of amd as only 19.12.1 works currently and also make sure you have the audio drivers downloaded for your motherboard that can be found on your laptops site if you have a laptop or your motherboards site if you use a external dac the drivers will not effect anything
it didn't work
i used both dns 8.8.8.8 and 1.1.1.1
none of them worked
same problem
My sound has suddenly broken as well, but I've had the game for a long time. I've checked everything and it seems only the actual foxhole sound isn't coming through anything? Pls help
Try disabling the sound device in device manager, then enable it, and make sure you set the default sound output device. And Bluetooth can cause problems
my mic works fine exept when i play foxhole, then im told its sounds quiet and patchy
check the pinned messages
my guess is your mic gain is just too low or the trim is too high (if its a fancy mic)
Is your Headphone a "JBL T450BT"?
this game hates bluetooth audio.
every game hates that headphone model
Windows recognizes 2 devices instead of one
one is absolute shit, the other will work
bluetooth should have no direct effect on the game all the game knows is what windows tells it and that would be the default device
the only thing i can see thats happening is the game is messing with the driver settings
the game doesnt know its bluetooth
it shouldnt but it does
i believe there is a networking component that may affect it
The actual Bluetooth communication is hardware so anything transmitted is what windows as a whole makes available to applications so if it's effected in game it would be effected everywhere so it can't be hardware the other option is the game is messing with the driver setting and screwing up something which I don't see why the game would be doing that other then changing levels
Maybe you just have a shit headset mic
yea me and a bunch of people
the game probably uses mac addresses for computer identification
it seems to cause network problems, or no sound
The game shouldn't touch mac addresses
Mac addresses should only be touched by layer 2 aka windows
Windows should handle the mac address and communication between hardware windows has libraries to tap into to use audio and that's what the game should be using
Or more specifically drivers should handle hardware and communication but windows auto installs the drivers usually
what do you want me to say? youre right because you should be?
i agree you should be right but this is just how it is
Aside from that game querying the mac address and logging it that's the extent of what the game should do a game or application should never ever directly interact past the drivers which I think is impossible and would require the game to run in admin
its not interacting past the drivers
well then the game shouldnt have any issue compared to anything else on that level
shouldn't
i would like it if it didnt
i think perhaps they never tested with bluetooth audio
just assumed hey theres no difference...
try it for yourself if you dont believe me. it might even work the first time
but i still see why they would have a issue if its true that they directly interact with the driver then it should have the same result as any other application other then some special windows stuff
i dont know what causes the bug. i just know the sound it makes when it doesnt make sound
well maybe mess with windows sound settings
make sure none of that is on
and probably disable those 2
uhm like, when i use bluetooth audio i cant connect to the servers
that makes no sense
well thats why its a bug
because nobody expected that
can i see the log
i dont have it handy
audio shouldnt affect communication between servers
but its the classic dns resolution problem, or timeout
yes i know it shouldnt but it does
and i suggested my theory of why
i dont see how thats even possible
because it has a mac address
maybe it tries to use the bluetooth connection as the network device or w/e
i dont know this for sure, this is my speculation
no network communication should be seperated
sigh
you are like a bunker wall
i think one time my frame rate was 60fps, but the game was moving in slow motion, and i cant remember exactly, but all of us had hyper-v installed
well in that case you wouldnt have internet at all
@bleak fog Every bluetooth headphone makes Windows recognize two separate devices, it's not just that headphone model
That happens with my bluetooth headphones as well
you can turn the telephony part of bluetooth off and it will be 1 device
hyperv shouldnt affect that either
i suspect they grab the first mac address (which is my bluetooth device), then they bind to the network device using the same device that has that address
and that device has no internet connection...
hyper v just creates simulated cores
yes i know hyperv shouldnt affect that. im trying to give examples of unexpected bugs in this game
youre just saying the obvious!
thas a driver problem
it was a game bug.
i had that similar problem with latest drivers
i actually cant remember if it was caused by hyper-v, they wouldnt tell us what the bug was. but all of us had hyper-v
i suspect it was again related to the network
when i moved windows on the desktop it goes into slow motion and it gets delayed
dude. i am not incompetent with computers
it was not a driver problem
it was 60 fps.
hyper v has nothing to do with it hyper v is enabled by default
its probably a ... precision timer issue
frame timing issue
frame timing has nothing to do with sunspots
frame timing determines the time between each frame the game will show 60 fps but timing will be delayed giving thr effect of slow motion
yes, clearly that was the problem
but what was the cause. 🤔 and they refused to tell us
because its probably not a issue with the game itself
but it was. they released a hotfix in an hour and solved it
uhh ok. but thats not drivers.
well i didnt say its definitively something with drivers thats a likely case as well as the engine
"i had that similar problem with latest drivers"
not a similar problem. a totally different problem
where the frames actually moved slowly
yes i downloaded the latest drivers from amds site last night and even on the desktop i was getting some weird slow motion effects just dragging windows
but not a frame timing issue
then what was it
rendering speed problems
the last bug i experienced was constant game stuttering. eveyrone said it was just network lag. then the devs figured out it was caused by a large squad list
@inner basin Never saw it on my older model
and how would you know that thats the for sure issue could be a whole tone of things
which one?
rendering speed
well i dont know that for sure
whats tells you its that
but considering moving windows doesnt involve frame timing, it cant be frame timing
because the window should be attached to the mouse - not an animation with frame timing
yes it is attached to the mouse the mouse and window were moving very slowly with delays
also i have experience of knowing what operating windows with basic display drivers and thats what it does.
i believe everything gets rendered by CPU and it hurts performance
and maybe some sort of bandwidth bottleneck copying memory
its really easy to simulate by forcing the basic display drivers
well then changing driver wouldnt effect memory bandwidth
how do you know this?
would not having usb 3 drivers not affect bandwidth? (it does)
because lets say the amd driver says move this windows down one frame and it does it using its 'amd optimized' function now lets tell the basic driver to do the same thing it still has the hardware bandwidth there and its going to perform a standardized function that is "basic" so it will get the operation done in the same amount of time but just not "optimized" or what ever tweaks that the amd driver would do
usb is on a different bus then pcie
pcie is direct to the cpu
there is a use bus that handles usb
so imagine all of your windows are in video memory size wy, and you combine them, thats done in video memory, thats 2 * x y memory copied into vram
now imagine you do the combination in system memory (because drivers dont offer 3d acceleration), now you have to copy the entire video frame in, so thats resolution x * resolution y
thats just an example of how bandwidth can be affected
vram is separate and should only be touched directly by the gpu to store variables in its ram
you have to copy data into the vram to do 3d accelerated operations on it
data isnt transferred from normal ram or any other source into vram
yes so the gpu generates its own ram that it stores it is not copied from normal ram hence why applications need to restart after changing hardware acceleration as it needs to render using the gpu and generates its own variables in the ram it is not copied from normal ram
yes sometimes it is copied
well then why does the application have to restart
for example, images
if it can just copy
well they probably need to get a new device context
no they need to stop using the cpu to render anything and start using the gpu to render that means it must clear all the ram for that application and regenerate the ram in vram after restarting the application using the gpu as the render device
you cannot write directly to vram with a program
you have to copy in. or set values. how do you think they load images into vram?
you cant just do
vram[0] = 0;
the driver has to copy the memory from system ram into vram
that is pci-e bandwidth
they dont copy in values and variables the gpu generates that based on the code that must run
its both
pcie 2.0 is well enough bandwidth
what are you even talking about
im just telling you how drivers can affect bandwidth use
no it doesnt
doing work on the CPU takes more bandwidth
drivers only directly interact with the hardware it does not effect link speed of pcie which is the communication between the cpu and gpu
well i know what i am saying is fact
great, go home and tell your mother youre brilliant
the reason he basic driver doesnt get best performance is because it does not interact with the hardware the most efficient way it ca
and can be lacking some features that the hardware supports
i changed the dns and deleted the VivoxCoreLibrary but my voice still doesn't work
@naive topaz does the icon appear above your head or when other people talk and also send logs to get to the logs press win button + r and type %appdata% go up a directory and into local/foxhole/saved/logs then send one that was during the issue on https://pastebin.com
Pastebin.com is the number one paste tool since 2002. Pastebin is a website where you can store text online for a set period of time.
the game does not send any more error logs there is no "[2] 2-5006" or "[8] 6" it just doesn't work
shows that the local and the squad are connected but there is a delay to load that i'm talking and there is no error log anymore
ok do this open the game and make sure voice chat is on and levels are ok and try to talk then close the game and send war.log dont think because nothing stands out to you doesnt mean there is no error
it's helpful if you can show a screen shot of your sound control panel, playback and recording tabs, like
well if its true that internet is dropped when you plug in the dongle then go to your network adapters
that will show you all network adapters that windows sees for communication and allow you to configure them
or better yet go to cmd and type ipconfig
do I create the paste on public or private?
i dont think it matters
public means its visible to search engine results and the bar on the right
unlisted means only someone with the link can view it
i created the paste what now?
copy and paste the link here
first thing i see is errors connecting right after being sent to home region
and a bunch of vivox errors
you can try reinstalling the game
and i assume you did verify after deleting the core file right
well then i have no idea why its not connecting the only thing i can tell you now is to reinstall the game
welp
you can blame this shitty vivox shit then
thanks for the help but i think i'll not be able to use the voice chat for a while...
maybe try a vpn or something
I press load up and it just crashes with el4 or what ever it is called has crashed and will close now
try the freshest video drivers
didnt work
@ancient nymph press win button + r and type %appdata% go up a directory into the appdata folder go to local/foxhole/saved/crashes go into the latest date modified folder and send war.log from there on https://pastebin.com

Roger that ill do that in about 5 minutes
I dont have it in local ... ?
I bought it yesterday to lol
I literally dont have it lol
hmmm
I can call and sharescreens ?
Wait no just meet me in the hangout and i can show you
Adrenalin 2020 19.12.2 ah thats the problem
Whats that ? XD
with versions 19.12.2+ up to the second latest driver the game doesnt work
now i have tried the latest drivers and it seems to work as well as amd claims it does work but i cant be 100% sure
as i only started the game and see if it worked not actually played
How do I like revert it back to that version ?
Wait so I have to get a different graphics card ?
no no you just need to change the driver version that windows uses to interact with your graphics card
go to that page and download according to your os
So much effort but ok
its not really just download that and run it
true
plus the 20.1.1 update has some massive massive fixes
so you will be getting those as well
like i have never seen a list this big from amd of fixed issues
never have i seen that many
currently in a call with friends
:/ that sucks
did it work
well ya thats as far as i went with that driver idk if it will crash as other people have said it crashes probably related to the new driver
well if it crashes at any point just install 19.12.1
Roger that cap
Someone know why I get blackscreen or stuck loadscreen when I change of region?
@upbeat charm amd card?
yes
download the latest optional drivers from here https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/release-notes/rn-rad-win-20-1-4
@upbeat charm that should solve all the problems you have
Issue "failed to download profile one " keeps appearing when I press play
fixed it
I have a technical issue, can anyone help please?
@velvet scarab Describe the issue please 🙂
@inner basin I can't open the game. It gives Fatal Error
@velvet scarab https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/release-notes/rn-rad-win-20-1-4 update to the latest optional driver if you have a amd card
for voice chat?

@ruby island
do you have an antivirus or firewall blocking the connection
nope
I did
hmmm maybe try changing your dns servers to 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1
follow that
do 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1 as primary and secondary
or ig in windows terms preferred and alternative
2 fatal errors in 2 days, first one was passing from UW to DV with a flatbed, thank god it didnt delete itself, and jsut now right after i teleported from home region to baths
not sure if its a bug or my pc is shitting out
@drifting hatch if you have an amd card update to that latest optional drivers from https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/release-notes/rn-rad-win-20-1-4
@ruby island Thank you ❤️
yeet
its terrible that the recommend driver is whql certified and yet is broken on so many levels
that just goes to show how in depth they windows looks at those drivers before giving the whql certification
does whql certify the driver wont break something in user space?
no whql means microsoft has "presumably" run the driver through a bunch of tests which consists of compute and graphical workloads of different games with all their actively updated oses and has signed the driver themselves and also they push the driver over windows update so if you have a device id matching the drivers supported devices the driver will be shoved down your throat whether you like it or not if you dont already have a driver installed satisfying the gpu or you go through a series of menus to disable automatic driver installing
yah im surprised it made it through that
it probably because they dont care anymore and just threw the driver into a vm with very controlled parameters where it would be quite tough to obtain results rather then testing with different hardware and changing parameters
i mean thats how they do their windows updates so i am not surprised that would slip through
vm for testing video drivers? ...whaaaaa
basically anything but drivers makes sense to me
why doesnt drivers make sense just pass through the gpu to a vm and install the drivers
super buggy, and nvidia drivers try to block you from doing that
if you had to make a different version of the drivers to allow that - it would defeat the entire purpose of testing the drivers
well yes nvidia does try to prevent passing through a gpu to a vm its very easy to do by adding one line of a xml file i believe
and i dont see why it would be buggy
the way it works in linux is not buggy at all
lots of people have 2 gpus and install linux so they have 1 gpu for linux and 1 gpu for a windows vm to have the best of both worlds
i have seen video editing and full on games in a windows vm running on top of linux
with no issues what so ever
theres actually a lot of issues, depending on your hardware
especially low end motherboards
why would the motherboard effect anything to do with that
LINKS:
VIRTIO Drivers: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/creating-windows-virtual-machines-using-virtio-drivers/
Arch Linux GPU Pass-through Guide: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PCI_passthrough_via_OVMF
It all started from one person calling me out on n...
yes there is a fix to get it to work with nvidia this week, if your virsh is new, and if they dont change the drivers yet again. theyve done it several times before using different methods to determine if it's a VM or not
look at this guy
inexpensive motherboards dont support separating the pci-e busses properly
he video edits all his videos in a windows vm
ya know, classic missing features
and plays rainbow 6 siege perfectly fine
yes i know ive done it
years ago
theres quite a bit of information on it, many people have problems, theres downsides, and it seems like a hostile place to test drivers
well things have changed from years ago and hardware is more supportive of the idea of linux and vms
have you ever done it yourself?
well in a way yes with my old laptop worked fine
with an old laptop?! it had vt-x and vt-d and iommu support?!
i had a cheapo laptop and it separated everything fine
and you need a video card thats UEFI bios
i think it did ya
right but if your laptop was from 2012 the video card was probably from 2010 or 2011
i had to flash a new BIOS on my video card to even do it
no it was a 2015 laptop that had a intergraded gpu and a dedicated and i separated the 2 and ram a windows vm on top of linux
hm ok
i figured out how to do it with 1 video card
i mean other people know how, its just not well documented
well yes but you would be rendering both through the one gpu
of course that is possible
wasnt rendering linux at all
well then you were not running xorg or you went intro exclusive mode with the vm
just linux headless
but at that point its useless
its harder that it sounds like it would be
what the point
why would you get headless linux just to run a vm when you are not even using linux
well i was using linux
thats what ran the VM
windows
if you really like having a linux gui you can always remote into it, or just use X
ya so if you are not going to take advantage of the linux portion as a daily driver with a windows supplement then at that point just install windows
oh no, windows is my daily driver, linux is my supplement
but why do you need a linux supplement
everything that is on linux is possible with windows
oh so you use zfs as a backup for windows
running libvirt/qemu, instead of hyper-v. wish that were possible in windows
maybe later this year, gonna get that VM to the linux subsystem
that'll really help out with podman/docker 
cant you just enable vt-x and that will take over hyper-v
yah its an option, its not well integrated compared to the linux subsystem
also ive got an AMD, so ... i think it complicates things
idk what you are talking about really you go from talking about the hypervisor to talking about the sub system
amd-v
it would make it more simple
actually
ah the linux subsystem is different than hyper-v, its the basis for ubuntu on windows
oh but how does that tie into what i was talking about
its an alternative to virtualization, or using hyper-v
yes
virtualization costs me a lot of performance, specifically in disk access
later this year it will contain a vm, allowing me to avoid using hyper-v or linux as the base os
ah so the subsystem is a light weight virtual environment that uses some of hyper-v features
i dont think it can directly render tho
WSL 1 is not virtualization. its basically a linux binary interpreter and C library
but it cant do everything virtualization can. and WSL2 will be virtualization
WSL1 is kind of more like cygwin, in my opinion
whenever you interface with it you are using the kernel in a virtual averment
yea in WSL2, then it will be like hyper-v, but better integrated with the windows OS
but wsl1 wasnt even capable of running 32bit linux binaries
do people still do that??
i wouldnt have built support for that either if i was designing it
steam requires 32bit and i know quite a bit of programs that are no longer under development that require 32bit
oh well ... you wouldnt be able to use it for anything on steam anyway
not having a kernel would be a big issue for running a game anyway
well ya considering you would have to install x11 server on your windows install and forward all gui traffic to it
that would be a pain
actually it does that pretty well
i imagine the video drivers would be the bigger issue
well probably yes that subsystem was not designed for graphics in mind
its supposed to be a supplement for windows to do specific actions that run better within a linux environment
yeah
and the only reason they brought it into windows is to keep people happy and from switching to linux
because the only thing holding together windows is specific games with anticheat and production side of things
for the average consumer linux is perfect

terrible
yah theres still some big software on windows only
visual studio requires you to login under a microsoft account after a month
for the average web surfer and facebook user, linux is fine. but not for business
if you buy the software you dont have to login
i would actually say depending on the type of business linux could actually be much better
ive lived through at least 15 years of "Year of the Linux Desktop"
i am not a believer
if microsoft decides to release office on linux, and adobe releases all of their stuff on linux, maybe. and maybe if its all free. which is really unlikely
there are some business's that require old windows software and some require adobe or some other windows specific suites but past that linux is the better choice
i mean windows is releasing everything on linux now

windows defender is on linux??
wow thats cool
i mean its useless all it will look for is microsoft viruses as there are no linux viruses
atleast none that are mainstream
and that have gone widespread
there is also micorsofts own linux distro that is releasing
that can only be developed on windows with visualstudio
busy box is more designed for systems that dont have a lot of the unix utilities aka android
the main use of busybox is android
and its not malicious
and there has been no main stream linux viruses due to the secure nature of linux and the basic operation of it
and security updates are usually pushed right after knowledge of any viruses
making those viruses inert
windows is yes
due to the fundamental building blocks of windows
linux on the other hand was literally built around security
the original purpose of linux was to be a free open source security focused server os
it was never designed to be a user operating system but it has become one now
i mean, if you modularize your entire OS, you can claim the applications are the security problems, not the OS
but we all know programs on linux are exploited often
like what
the applications are not the security problems that come from a trusted source
perhaps the most exploited program ever
they are signed
signed just ensures you downloaded it from the one who built it
that mostly designed for andriod to give greater functionality to rooted andriod systems
that doesnt ensure its secure, or its configured right, or that it doesn't contain malicious code
busybox is more than just for android
its on millions of routers
yes but the main purpose is andriod
i didnt say it wasnt used anywhere else
yes so how is that exploitable the repositories are all signed software so how could you infect a system from them
unlike windows there is alot more loopholes
busybox is 20 years old, its not for android specifically or even intended
well i need it to use luckypatcher
otherwise most functions of luckypatcher are not there
also on most distributions all the unix functions are there so there is no need for busybox
busybox is for when you need unix functionalities where they were intended to not be
aka andriod
then were ripped out for a reason
My friend tried to play the game
But all he gets is a black screen
He crashed 10 times and restarted his computer already
@dusky linden do they have an amd card
if so make sure they are on the latest optional drivers instead of the latest recommended https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/release-notes/rn-rad-win-20-1-4
does your friend have a amd graphics card
I have nvidia
hmm try updating to the latest drivers
Ahh so it’s a graphic card
K so how do I tell him to update it
Where does he update it
@dusky linden https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/release-notes/rn-rad-win-20-1-4 this is a link to the latest optional drivers that will solve the crash on startup with a black screen
#technical-chat is VC broken?
@nimble mauve maybe try following this https://discordapp.com/channels/203512636556574720/551236268004999168/551238198995451924
tbh anything i caan do from my side ive already done
itts all in the servers hands now
probably not
Nooooo
well then no matter your gpu they will lag
thats minimum specs
thats saying a duo core at 2ghz would be minimum they are at 1.1ghz
@ruby island does a integrated graphics count as a video card?
well technically yes but integrated graphics is usually on the low end
just wondering for the minimum specs
dedicated means the gpu is by itself
as long as it has 1gb allocated to it by the bios and supports dx11 it would work but probably not very well
yeah, my laptop plays fine but only at lowest settings at at like 1% resolution scale lol
lol well if you dont see a massive performance boost in changing graphics settings that would be cpu bottle necking
What’s the exact error
Please, make sure there is no private info though
Si I'm looking at how to downgrade
Are you asking how to downgrade, or saying you're going to dew it
yeah google would be your friend here, as I run Nvidia
I see
if you have any further questions don't be afraid to ask
Amd drives me insane with how many people ask for help for it
at least there was a pretty quick fix for it
@short temple it seems downgrading graphics with amd tends to leave behind files from the previous driver version if the only reason you are downgrading is for foxhole i recommend installing the latest optional driver from here https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/release-notes/rn-rad-win-20-1-4
works perfectly fine they solved the crashing of ue4 games with update 20.1.2 i believe
ya hopefully once amd gets a higher revision whql certified and it gets pushed over windows update and marked as the recommend driver we shouldnt have this many people coming here with this issue anymore
You know the idea of Body armor for Foxhole would be awesome like similar to shirts you have to equip it and you’ll get added protection from blast damage or even extra health
It should have a debuff like it slows you down
oh i just remembered why i didn't play foxhole for 1 year
i can't fucking rotate camera
anyone had this prob ?
and how to fix it
Do you know the key to rotate the camera by default?
i reseted to default keys, rotating cam being mmb, which is not working
I would try setting it to a keyboard key just to make sure it's not the mouse causing the issue
also understand the control is not a toggle, so you have to hold it and move the mouse at the same time to rotate the camera perspective.
yeah ik, i successfully used it for 2000 hours before
it's working on every button except middle mouse button
fml
but i can't set up back rotate cam on MMB
just like if my middle button wasn't recognized by the game
I've had a lot of cheapo mice do weird things with mouse 3. I wouldn't say it's your mouse causing the issue with just this evidence, but I think from what you're saying the camera rotate works if it's not mouse 3, so maybe compare if it works with another mouse or not.
glad I could help you
have fun
my mmb barly works half the time and its not some cheap mouse
well, thx i guess. It was properly working on foxhole in the past tho (before an undefined patch)
i just rebound it to the back key on my mouse
would be nice if the game wasn't broken at recognizing my middle button tho
i mean, would make the game ... playable, what a game is meant to
try to rebind a key and actually press the mmb on that key
and see if it sets
if it does the game sees it
good idea
are you sure it works outside the game
well then its your mouse
damn i was starting to maybe think asus mice were less cheap than others
i have corsair and half the time my mmb doesnt register
idk what it is about the mmb but it always seems to fail on me
no matter the brand of mouse i have
i'm sorry to hear that, mate
maybe next i will try the logitech g series and see if that mmb button failes
if it does imma burn that mouse
i swear
It might be that a good mmb needs an expensive circuit part and every big name brand is cheaping out on it
Is it really though? Scroll wheel also has to scroll.
It's two controls on one part, right?
nah most companies are obviously going full planned obsolescence
the scroll wheel would be more expensive because they gotta have gates
for each section
and register i click every time it moves
the mmb is simple pressing the entire thing down so they just gotta moire sure that the pressure is correct and contact 2 pads to register a press
and even it it was expensive you would think $80 dollars would cover it
mine isnt "physically" broken the click is still there but its not registered half the time
and if i am holding it it just stops registering randomly as well
since you have this prob ?
for the past year or so now
this is happening a lot, it freezes when it gets to 3 and i need to close my game to play again
guys
i want to ask something
when our steam and discord linked and we are in the foxhole game, our coordinates can be seen at our discord profile. Is it possible to call that coordinate datas from discord or foxhole for bot?
Your Discord status only shows what region you are in, not your exact coordinates
maybe you can call exact coordinates
Why would that be good :p?
i have a question but my mic has not been working for a couple months now but whenever i try to hold down my mic key in foxhole whatever its binded to and ive rebinded it many times i never see the voice chat icon on top of my player model. ive tried file verification, restart my pc, foxhole, already deleted it and installed it many times but nothing works
Idk where to post this, but I was wondering if the character limit is fixed or not? My IG handle is missing about six letter and if I were to join a clan, my name would be missing three entire words.
Where can I get some input on this?
@terse flume yes, there is character limit on the player names, i believe it is 15 characters max
i had 10/10 attempts, it forced me back into main menu and said i should press deploy. Now everytime i press deploy it says: "Lost connection to Server. Please try again...."
i guess thats what i get for trying to bring shirts. 😐
now i can go back in, lost my body, my truck and my stuff and can go through que again. And people wonder why nobody wants to do logi...
@summer dew @sharp ether try this
If you're receiving errors such as "No Home Region" or being disconnected, this usually points to a network-related issue. Due to the nature of network issues, there is never a one-size-fits-all approach to correcting them, however through standard troubleshooting steps, we can typically eliminate most issues.
Steps to Try
- Restart your PC
- Verify the game files >> Open Steam >> Right Click Foxhole >> Properties >> Local Files >> Verify Integrity of Game Files
- Close any and all programs on your computer >> Open Steam >> Open Foxhole >> Attempt to get in game
- Disable all antivirus and firewall solutions; Follow #3
- Restart computer completely >> Close any programs that started automatically; Follow #1
- Restart internet Modem and/or Router; May be a good idea to perform #3 after
- Verify all ports used by Steam are open on modem/mouter firewall as well as any 3rd party firewall hardware: Via Steam Support ; Follow #4
- On Wi-Fi? Try using a physical (ethernet) connection instead
- On Wi-Fi? Try moving physically closer to the modem/router providing the wireless internet
- On Ethernet? Reseat the ethernet cable on both sides; perform #4 as well as #3
- Verify all drivers are up to date. This includes graphics drivers; Perform #10
- Verify Windows is up to date
- Laptop? Make sure the laptop's power/battery setting is set to High Performance.
- Set Max Pings settings in the Steam client: Go to Steam >> Settings >> In Game. Go to the dropdown box labelled In-Game Server browser: Max pings/minute and set to 500. Perform #1
already did since last year
@summer dew follow this https://www.howtogeek.com/167533/the-ultimate-guide-to-changing-your-dns-server/ and change your dns to 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1
yes I did
so you are on 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1
and then restart the game?
ya
I can deploy now😃
but still got connection error when crossing border...
plus game freeze
yes
and does the adapter mean the TCP/IPv4?
this is what i mean
if you have any vpns or other software there could be multiple
what I change is my ethernet
I don’t use wifi or vpn
hmmm ok do this press win button + r and type %appdata% go back a directory to the appdata folder and go into local\foxhole\saved\crashes and send war.log of the latest modified folder on https://pastebin.com
Pastebin.com is the number one paste tool since 2002. Pastebin is a website where you can store text online for a set period of time.
but my last War.log was on
2019/09/02
I remember I’ve change the dns after that
btw it won’t let me paste since I dont have the “pro” account lol
exceeds maximum length XD
so what’s the paste for?
are you sure you are just sending one text file
yes
i have never had that happen on hastebin
it has 5205 lines lol
what if you try sending it over discord
is this a crash log or a normal log
crash log
can you go back out of the crashes directory and go into logs
oh ok I just saw that normal war.log lol
ya thats the latest log that was generated
well this tells me something is broken about your gpu drivers possible leading to the crash and possibly other symptoms
but that doesnt seem to contain you actually going into game
you may have opened the and game and that log was generated without the information of trying to cross the border
i would go in nvidias site and get the latest gpu driver
hmm ok
restart after the installation and try again
if you still have the same issue come back and resend the log
roger that
you might want to do a clean install just to make sure
yup I think it’s the GPU’s problem because after I update the driver the game just become so smooth! :D
ty very much @ruby island ! 😍
so you can travel between borders
yup
without error this time
thats good have fun with the game
ty very much!
yeet
youre doin good work, thecuz
reacty with (up) if you just crashed
i have that issue 2
couldnt rejoin for like 10 mins
well if you both have the issue its most likely a issue with the server
it was
do you play much foxhole, thecuz? or are you mostly interested in fixing bugs on it? i never see you in #foxhole-discussion
sometimes when a server breaks, people will discuss it being down in there
i did when i first bought it but then i just stopped
i lost interest in the game
but i will come back to it some day
tried logi when i first bought it but the only thing i heard from other people were "dont touch that" "dont take that vehicle" "dont mine salvage here"
that made me loose interest in logi
there is less of that now, because less people play logistics
people are very grateful for logistics drivers now
then when i went on the front lines i could never get a kill or set up defenses because i always died trying
most of it was due to a lack of coordination between people
nobody wanted to defend me while setting anything up
and the defenses that were already setup were complete trash
literally in the back lines someone had foxholes covering the entire road around a base couldnt even get through with a truck
and it was added after we took it over
they were not even facing the correct way
so the game looked good and i got it but once i saw how defensive logi were with resources and how there is a lack of coordination i lost interest in the game
sometimes there is incredible coordination, it can be kind of random
problem is people want to coordinate with their group causing lots of independent groups that have their own objective and they dont get stuff done as efficiently as an entire team
that makes doing things on your own impossible
you need to be apart of a group to get anything done
i dont disagree, people talk about these things often in #foxhole-discussion im afraid ill get the evil eye if i keep on non technical talk 
but you are right
How do I Install the Foxhole War Map Bot and the Foxhole Tech Updates Bot?
@quick rover for war map, invite the bot by using this link to your server, then follow this instruction to setup the bot
for tech bot, invite the bot by using this link https://discordapp.com/api/oauth2/authorize?client_id=647554120030617600&permissions=117760&scope=bot and follow the instruction on the pic
@terse flume, you didnt put the link for the map
@quick rover my bad https://discordapp.com/oauth2/authorize?&client_id=465733906927190016&scope=bot&permissions=0
@terse flume so after the resistance these bots work now?
does the most recent amd driver work yet or do i still need to downgrade? it looks like there was a new one a few days ago
supposedly it works
ahh i just downgraded and noticed there was a new one. i guess i'll try the new one and see
i'm on 20.2.1 and it seems like it works
ah yes finally amd has pushed 20.1.3 as recommended and got it whql certified
ya anything equal to or past 20.1.2 fixes the issue with foxhole
@inner basin
