one for wifi one for ethernet and if you have any vpns install there would show up as well

merry bane
#

Well, seems or I have only ethernet adapter, or idk how to do this

ruby island
#

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

long locust
#

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)

ruby island
#

@long locust do you have a amd card and does it give you fatal error

long locust
#

I just found out im rolling back drivers rn

ruby island
#

19.12.1

long locust
#

thank for help

#

im just going to 9.11

ruby island
#

19.12.1 works as well

#

and do a clean install

#

otherwise it might not work

long locust
#

I had a feeling it was radeon

#

since its a newer software

#

and card protocal so

ruby island
#

ya the 2020 driver was a massive change

long locust
#

Yeah

ruby island
#

so bugs are going to be there

long locust
#

I mean the card i got has a glitch where 75hz monitors and below lose frames XD

ruby island
#

do you have vsync on

long locust
#

its not that

#

it was litterally in the bug notes

ruby island
#

ah ok

long locust
#

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

ruby island
#

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

sly mortar
#

@long locust wait, your monitor is <75hz?

long locust
#

it is 60

#

im bumping up to a 240 since i play RL alot

#

I hate the old software 😦

ruby island
#

i dont even have the software

#

i just directly installed the driver

#

i dont like software running like that on my pc

long locust
#

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

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.

blissful sequoia
#

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

gray prism
#

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

blissful sequoia
#

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

ruby island
#

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

ruby island
#

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

undone oxide
ruby island
#

@undone oxide. if I can remember correctly you can move the squad menu or at least minimalize it

undone oxide
#

@ruby island how?

#

about squad yes, his allready minimalized

ruby island
#

Just click at drag at the top

undone oxide
#

not movable

ruby island
#

Hmmm

#

I swear you could

undone oxide
ruby island
#

Well if it's on their side yes it will be fixed

gray prism
#

@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

ruby island
#

what gpu do you have

#

its not 100% nessesary you can do the dxvk trick but i advise against it

#

for the reason above

gray prism
#

im not doing that thing XD

ruby island
#

i am curious what gpu do you have

gray prism
#

i dont like messing around with that stuff an

#

Radeon RX 580 Series

ruby island
#

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

gray prism
#

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

ruby island
#

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

prime lava
#

Has happened several times already . 2-3 times when hopping on another region and 1-2 times when im just walkin around.

ruby island
#

@prime lava what gpu do you have?

prime lava
#

Nvidia 1050 Ti

gray prism
#

new update for AMD

#

fixes the crashing so I think all the AMD graphics users can update to max now and play

ruby island
#

@prime lava try updating your gpu drivers and valdating your game

hey there's this weird bug that yacawni can't play the game because he switched to collie, can anyone explain this?

blissful sequoia
#

try restarting steam, thanks

dreamy jackal

it says he was banned

#

for just playin collie

ruby island
#

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

blissful sequoia

he is being sarcstic, @ruby island

#

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

blissful sequoia
#

yah i cant get bluetooth sound to work either

loud silo
#

have no idea why a bluetooth sound would affect this

#

probably an issue with voice chat

blissful sequoia
#

have you tried with a set of wired headphones? i bet it works

velvet wave
#

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?

@still kindle you have tried reconnecting mic right?

still kindle
#

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

ruby island
#

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

blissful sequoia
#

AMD video card?

terse flume
#

Yes

blissful sequoia
#

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

ruby island
#

19.12.1

#

is the only version that workes that i have tested

terse flume
#

The problem still exists?

#

Wow

ruby island
#

its known by amd

terse flume
#

Thats like, a month old. You think they would've fixed it by now

ruby island
#

and will probably be pushed next update

terse flume
#

I mean, several driver updates have been pushed

ruby island
#

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

blissful sequoia
#

or maybe unreal will get updated first

#

either way theres a fix for it, so thats good

terse flume
#

Okay

ruby island
#

games would have to implament the new uynreal version which would take some time

#

developers seem to be slow at unreal version adoption

terse flume
#

I loathe to backdate my drivers this far back, but oh well

ruby island
#

only 3 versions behind

#

you have 19.12.2 19.12.3 and 20.xxxx something

terse flume
#

20.1.2

ruby island
#

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?

#

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

anyone eles crashing?

#

i got like 5 fata errors now it wont launch

#

vailided the files aswell

ruby island
#

@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

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'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????

ruby island
#

@terse flume install 19.12.1

stark sluice
#

@terse flume last amd driver cause crash on startup

ruby island
#

Clean install actually

#

@wary furnace what about in window mode and not in full screen

wary furnace
#

I am in windowed full screen

ruby island
#

Try going full screen then

wary furnace
#

I have to play on windowed mode, so even if it works on full screen it wont be okay for me

#

(but ill check)

ruby island
#

Why

wary furnace
#

dual monitor work

ruby island
#

Hmmm k

wary furnace
#

Report: fullscreen doesnt help, still bugged

ruby island
#

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

wary furnace
#

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

ruby island
#

Maybe something with your monitor setup

#

Try disabling your second monitor

wary furnace
#

happens only when I am in a vehicle (just tested truck and crane)

ruby island
#

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

ruby island
#

did you validate the game

wary furnace
#

testing now after validation, but it didnt seem to repalce any file

ruby island
#

well you might have to reinstall the game

wary furnace
#

no luck ...

#

ill try that but I start to feel it's a proper bug ...

ruby island
#

maybe but if it was it would be a little more popular as you would say that is really annoying

faint python
#

Why does my server connection keep timing out

ruby island
#

do you have a antivirus or a firewall blocking the connection

faint python
#

Nope

#

It happens every 30 minutes

#

Then for 15 minutes I rubberband

inner basin
#

@wary furnace that's normal for me

ruby island
#

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

wary furnace
#

@inner basin normal? How the hell mouse teleportation is normal?

faint python
#

Yeah I made sure I checked

inner basin
#

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

ruby island
#

no it resets your mouse to 0,0

inner basin
#

Pretty weird logic though ngl

ruby island
#

thats not normal

inner basin
#

Nah I don't have that then

wary furnace
#

yeah check the clip image is worth thousands words as they say

ruby island
#

@faint python has it ever worked or has it just started

#

doing that

wary furnace
#

happens on every menu, map, inventories, going to refinery becomes tedious

faint python
#

It just started yesterday @ruby island

#

A few other people were having it yesterday too

ruby island
#

hmmm if you didnt change anything since then it could be your isp

#

ah well if its a common issue then its the server

faint python
#

Yeah it's just really annoyinglol

ruby island
#

have you tried other regions

#

or is it global

#

accross all regions

faint python
#

Oar, Weathered and Godscroft all do it

#

As did Marban when I went there

ruby island
#

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

wary furnace
#

So updated drivers, reinstalled the game, restarted the computer, still bugged 😭

Is there an up to date linux guide/tldr i can link a friend thats considering picking the game up?

ruby island
#

@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

#

just install gamemode with whatever package manager they use

naive topaz
#

@ruby island it didn't work completely

ruby island
#

completely?

#

does it work at all or just issues

naive topaz
#

it at least shows that people are talking

ruby island
#

so it shows them talking visually but you dont hear them

naive topaz
#

nop

#

i can hear everything but the players

ruby island
#

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?

ruby island
#

@split grail do you have a amd card?

Cheers @ruby island

knotty birch
#

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?

naive topaz
#

check if your headphone is conected to the game at the voice settings

ruby island
#

@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

naive topaz
#

it didn't work

#

i used both dns 8.8.8.8 and 1.1.1.1

#

none of them worked

#

same problem

limpid drum
#

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

blissful sequoia
#

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

last crystal
#

my mic works fine exept when i play foxhole, then im told its sounds quiet and patchy

blissful sequoia
#

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)

bleak fog
#

Is your Headphone a "JBL T450BT"?

blissful sequoia
#

this game hates bluetooth audio.

bleak fog
#

every game hates that headphone model

#

Windows recognizes 2 devices instead of one

#

one is absolute shit, the other will work

ruby island
#

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

blissful sequoia
#

it shouldnt but it does

#

i believe there is a networking component that may affect it

ruby island
#

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

blissful sequoia
#

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

ruby island
#

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

blissful sequoia
#

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

ruby island
#

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

blissful sequoia
#

its not interacting past the drivers

ruby island
#

well then the game shouldnt have any issue compared to anything else on that level

blissful sequoia
#

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

ruby island
#

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

blissful sequoia
#

i dont know what causes the bug. i just know the sound it makes when it doesnt make sound

ruby island
#

well maybe mess with windows sound settings

blissful sequoia
#

uhm like, when i use bluetooth audio i cant connect to the servers

ruby island
#

that makes no sense

blissful sequoia
#

well thats why its a bug
because nobody expected that

ruby island
#

can i see the log

blissful sequoia
#

i dont have it handy

ruby island
#

audio shouldnt affect communication between servers

blissful sequoia
#

but its the classic dns resolution problem, or timeout

#

yes i know it shouldnt but it does

#

and i suggested my theory of why

ruby island
#

i dont see how thats even possible

blissful sequoia
#

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

ruby island
#

no network communication should be seperated

blissful sequoia
#

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

ruby island
#

well in that case you wouldnt have internet at all

inner basin
#

@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

blissful sequoia
#

you can turn the telephony part of bluetooth off and it will be 1 device

ruby island
#

hyperv shouldnt affect that either

blissful sequoia
#

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...

ruby island
#

hyper v just creates simulated cores

blissful sequoia
#

yes i know hyperv shouldnt affect that. im trying to give examples of unexpected bugs in this game

#

youre just saying the obvious!

ruby island
#

thas a driver problem

blissful sequoia
#

it was a game bug.

ruby island
#

i had that similar problem with latest drivers

blissful sequoia
#

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

ruby island
#

when i moved windows on the desktop it goes into slow motion and it gets delayed

blissful sequoia
#

dude. i am not incompetent with computers

#

it was not a driver problem

#

it was 60 fps.

ruby island
#

hyper v has nothing to do with it hyper v is enabled by default

blissful sequoia
#

its probably a ... precision timer issue

ruby island
#

frame timing issue

blissful sequoia
#

frame timing has nothing to do with sunspots

ruby island
#

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

blissful sequoia
#

yes, clearly that was the problem

#

but what was the cause. 🤔 and they refused to tell us

ruby island
#

because its probably not a issue with the game itself

blissful sequoia
#

but it was. they released a hotfix in an hour and solved it

ruby island
#

maybe it was unreal engine

#

an update solved it

blissful sequoia
#

uhh ok. but thats not drivers.

ruby island
#

well i didnt say its definitively something with drivers thats a likely case as well as the engine

blissful sequoia
#

"i had that similar problem with latest drivers"

ruby island
#

as amd has been fucky with their drivers

#

recently

blissful sequoia
#

not a similar problem. a totally different problem

#

where the frames actually moved slowly

ruby island
#

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

blissful sequoia
#

but not a frame timing issue

ruby island
#

then what was it

blissful sequoia
#

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

bleak fog
#

@inner basin Never saw it on my older model

ruby island
#

and how would you know that thats the for sure issue could be a whole tone of things

blissful sequoia
#

which one?

ruby island
#

rendering speed

blissful sequoia
#

well i dont know that for sure

ruby island
#

whats tells you its that

blissful sequoia
#

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

ruby island
#

yes it is attached to the mouse the mouse and window were moving very slowly with delays

blissful sequoia
#

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

ruby island
#

well then changing driver wouldnt effect memory bandwidth

blissful sequoia
#

how do you know this?

#

would not having usb 3 drivers not affect bandwidth? (it does)

ruby island
#

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

blissful sequoia
#

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

ruby island
#

vram is separate and should only be touched directly by the gpu to store variables in its ram

blissful sequoia
#

you have to copy data into the vram to do 3d accelerated operations on it

ruby island
#

data isnt transferred from normal ram or any other source into vram

blissful sequoia
#

yes it is

#

video accelerators cannot operate from system memory

ruby island
#

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

blissful sequoia
#

yes sometimes it is copied

ruby island
#

well then why does the application have to restart

blissful sequoia
#

for example, images

ruby island
#

if it can just copy

blissful sequoia
#

well they probably need to get a new device context

ruby island
#

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

blissful sequoia
#

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

ruby island
#

they dont copy in values and variables the gpu generates that based on the code that must run

blissful sequoia
#

its both

ruby island
#

pcie 2.0 is well enough bandwidth

blissful sequoia
#

what are you even talking about

#

im just telling you how drivers can affect bandwidth use

ruby island
#

no it doesnt

blissful sequoia
#

doing work on the CPU takes more bandwidth

ruby island
#

drivers only directly interact with the hardware it does not effect link speed of pcie which is the communication between the cpu and gpu

blissful sequoia
#

i really dont care if you agree

#

i know this for fact

ruby island
#

well i know what i am saying is fact

blissful sequoia
#

great, go home and tell your mother youre brilliant

ruby island
#

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

naive topaz
#

i changed the dns and deleted the VivoxCoreLibrary but my voice still doesn't work

ruby island
#

@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

naive topaz
#

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

ruby island
#

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

blissful sequoia
#

it's helpful if you can show a screen shot of your sound control panel, playback and recording tabs, like

ruby island
#

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

naive topaz
#

do I create the paste on public or private?

ruby island
#

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

naive topaz
#

i created the paste what now?

ruby island
#

copy and paste the link here

naive topaz
ruby island
#

well you make it full on private

ruby island
#

first thing i see is errors connecting right after being sent to home region

#

you can try reinstalling the game

#

and i assume you did verify after deleting the core file right

naive topaz
#

yes i verified the game

#

and I already reinstalled the game

ruby island
#

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

naive topaz
#

thanks for the help but i think i'll not be able to use the voice chat for a while...

ruby island
#

maybe try a vpn or something

ancient nymph
#

I press load up and it just crashes with el4 or what ever it is called has crashed and will close now

blissful sequoia
#

try the freshest video drivers

ancient nymph
#

didnt work

ruby island
#

@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

ancient nymph
#

Roger that ill do that in about 5 minutes

#

I dont have it in local ... ?

#

I bought it yesterday to lol

ruby island
ancient nymph
#

I literally dont have it lol

ruby island
#

hmmm

ancient nymph
#

I can call and sharescreens ?

#

Wait no just meet me in the hangout and i can show you

ruby island
#

thats roaming

#

i said go up and go into local

ancient nymph
#

Oh yeah lol

#

my bad

#

That should be it

ruby island
#

Adrenalin 2020 19.12.2 ah thats the problem

ancient nymph
#

Whats that ? XD

ruby island
#

with versions 19.12.2+ up to the second latest driver the game doesnt work

ancient nymph
#

Ffff

#

So I gotta rollback my graphics card ?

ruby island
#

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

ancient nymph
#

How do I like revert it back to that version ?

ruby island
#

follow that

#

that is the most up to date version

ancient nymph
#

Wait so I have to get a different graphics card ?

ruby island
#

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

ancient nymph
#

So much effort but ok

ruby island
#

its not really just download that and run it

ancient nymph
#

true

ruby island
#

plus the 20.1.1 update has some massive massive fixes

#

so you will be getting those as well

#

never have i seen that many

ancient nymph
#

It is alot

#

@ruby island wanna play together ?

ruby island
#

currently in a call with friends

ancient nymph
#

:/ that sucks

ruby island
#

did it work

ancient nymph
#

It loaded up

#

Dunno if it plays tho

ruby island
#

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

ancient nymph
#

loading tho

#

Nope loaded in

ruby island
#

well if it crashes at any point just install 19.12.1

ancient nymph
#

Roger that cap

upbeat charm
#

Someone know why I get blackscreen or stuck loadscreen when I change of region?

ruby island
#

@upbeat charm amd card?

upbeat charm
#

yes

ruby island
#

@upbeat charm that should solve all the problems you have

ancient nymph
#

Issue "failed to download profile one " keeps appearing when I press play

#

fixed it

velvet scarab
#

I have a technical issue, can anyone help please?

inner basin
#

@velvet scarab Describe the issue please 🙂

velvet scarab
#

@inner basin I can't open the game. It gives Fatal Error

ruby island
winged gale
#

Hello

#

im gettin Error 1 all the time

ruby island
#

for voice chat?

#

logging in?

#

context?

#

@winged gale send logs by pressing win button + r and typing %appdata% then going back a directory into the actual appdata folder and into local\foxhole\saved\logs and send the log that would contain the error on https://pastebin.com

winged gale
ruby island
#

do you have an antivirus or firewall blocking the connection

winged gale
#

nope

winged gale
#

I did

ruby island
#

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

drifting hatch
#

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

ruby island
upbeat charm
#

@ruby island Thank you ❤️

ruby island
#

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

blissful sequoia
#

does whql certify the driver wont break something in user space?

ruby island
#

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

blissful sequoia
#

yah im surprised it made it through that

ruby island
#

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

blissful sequoia
#

vm for testing video drivers? ...whaaaaa

ruby island
#

oh ya thats what they do now

#

same with windows updates

#

in a vm

blissful sequoia
#

basically anything but drivers makes sense to me

ruby island
#

why doesnt drivers make sense just pass through the gpu to a vm and install the drivers

blissful sequoia
#

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

ruby island
#

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

blissful sequoia
#

theres actually a lot of issues, depending on your hardware

#

especially low end motherboards

ruby island
#

why would the motherboard effect anything to do with that

blissful sequoia
#

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

ruby island
#

look at this guy

blissful sequoia
#

inexpensive motherboards dont support separating the pci-e busses properly

ruby island
#

he video edits all his videos in a windows vm

blissful sequoia
#

ya know, classic missing features

ruby island
#

and plays rainbow 6 siege perfectly fine

blissful sequoia
#

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

ruby island
#

well things have changed from years ago and hardware is more supportive of the idea of linux and vms

blissful sequoia
#

have you ever done it yourself?

ruby island
#

well in a way yes with my old laptop worked fine

blissful sequoia
#

with an old laptop?! it had vt-x and vt-d and iommu support?!

ruby island
#

i had a cheapo laptop and it separated everything fine

blissful sequoia
#

and you need a video card thats UEFI bios

ruby island
#

i think it did ya

blissful sequoia
#

it couldnt have been that old to have all of those things

#

maybe im that old

ruby island
#

2012 and up video cards support uefi

#

generally

blissful sequoia
#

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

ruby island
#

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

blissful sequoia
#

hm ok

ruby island
#

the linux one had the integrated and windows had the dedicated

#

worked fine

blissful sequoia
#

i figured out how to do it with 1 video card

#

i mean other people know how, its just not well documented

ruby island
#

well yes but you would be rendering both through the one gpu

#

of course that is possible

blissful sequoia
#

wasnt rendering linux at all

ruby island
#

well then you were not running xorg or you went intro exclusive mode with the vm

blissful sequoia
#

just linux headless

ruby island
#

but at that point its useless

blissful sequoia
#

its harder that it sounds like it would be

ruby island
#

what the point

#

why would you get headless linux just to run a vm when you are not even using linux

blissful sequoia
#

well i was using linux
thats what ran the VM

ruby island
#

there is no point

#

oh but what was the vm

blissful sequoia
#

windows

#

if you really like having a linux gui you can always remote into it, or just use X

ruby island
#

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

blissful sequoia
#

oh no, windows is my daily driver, linux is my supplement

ruby island
#

but why do you need a linux supplement

#

everything that is on linux is possible with windows

blissful sequoia
#

zfs snapshots

#

wish that were possible in windows

ruby island
#

oh so you use zfs as a backup for windows

blissful sequoia
#

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 cisien

ruby island
#

cant you just enable vt-x and that will take over hyper-v

blissful sequoia
#

yah its an option, its not well integrated compared to the linux subsystem

#

also ive got an AMD, so ... i think it complicates things

ruby island
#

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

blissful sequoia
#

ah the linux subsystem is different than hyper-v, its the basis for ubuntu on windows

ruby island
#

oh but how does that tie into what i was talking about

blissful sequoia
#

its an alternative to virtualization, or using hyper-v

ruby island
#

yes

blissful sequoia
#

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

ruby island
#

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

blissful sequoia
#

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

ruby island
#

whenever you interface with it you are using the kernel in a virtual averment

blissful sequoia
#

no

#

not in WSL1

ruby island
#

well wsl2

#

i was refering to wsl2

blissful sequoia
#

yea in WSL2, then it will be like hyper-v, but better integrated with the windows OS

ruby island
#

but wsl1 wasnt even capable of running 32bit linux binaries

blissful sequoia
#

do people still do that??

#

i wouldnt have built support for that either if i was designing it

ruby island
#

steam requires 32bit and i know quite a bit of programs that are no longer under development that require 32bit

blissful sequoia
#

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

ruby island
#

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

blissful sequoia
#

actually it does that pretty well

#

i imagine the video drivers would be the bigger issue

ruby island
#

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

blissful sequoia
#

yeah

ruby island
#

and the only reason they brought it into windows is to keep people happy and from switching to linux

blissful sequoia
#

yes

#

linux is clearly the future of computing

ruby island
#

because the only thing holding together windows is specific games with anticheat and production side of things

#

for the average consumer linux is perfect

blissful sequoia
ruby island
#

terrible

blissful sequoia
#

yah theres still some big software on windows only

ruby island
#

visual studio requires you to login under a microsoft account after a month

blissful sequoia
#

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

ruby island
#

i would actually say depending on the type of business linux could actually be much better

blissful sequoia
#

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

ruby island
#

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

blissful sequoia
ruby island
#

you have microsoft edge

#

windows defender

blissful sequoia
#

windows defender is on linux??

ruby island
#

or microsoft defender now

#

it coming

blissful sequoia
#

wow thats cool

ruby island
#

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

blissful sequoia
#

no linux viruses? omegalul

#

its called busybox julianlol

ruby island
#

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

blissful sequoia
#

its extremely exploitable

#

like oof.

ruby island
#

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

blissful sequoia
#

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

ruby island
#

like what

blissful sequoia
#

oh i didnt know this needed a citation

#

well ok, busybox.

ruby island
#

the applications are not the security problems that come from a trusted source

blissful sequoia
#

perhaps the most exploited program ever

ruby island
#

they are signed

blissful sequoia
#

signed just ensures you downloaded it from the one who built it

ruby island
#

that mostly designed for andriod to give greater functionality to rooted andriod systems

blissful sequoia
#

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

ruby island
#

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

blissful sequoia
#

busybox is 20 years old, its not for android specifically or even intended

ruby island
#

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

dusky linden
#

My friend tried to play the game

#

But all he gets is a black screen

#

He crashed 10 times and restarted his computer already

ruby island
#

@dusky linden do they have an amd card

dusky linden
#

What’s that

#

@ruby island

ruby island
#

does your friend have a amd graphics card

drifting hatch
#

I have nvidia

ruby island
#

hmm try updating to the latest drivers

dusky linden
#

Ahh so it’s a graphic card

#

K so how do I tell him to update it

#

Where does he update it

ruby island
nimble mauve
ruby island
nimble mauve
#

tbh anything i caan do from my side ive already done

#

itts all in the servers hands now

dusky linden
#

@ruby island would this work for the game?

ruby island
#

probably not

dusky linden
#

Nooooo

ruby island
#

that would probably lag

#

you would be cpu bottlenecked

dusky linden
#

?

#

That’s my friend

ruby island
#

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

inner basin
#

@ruby island does a integrated graphics count as a video card?

ruby island
#

well technically yes but integrated graphics is usually on the low end

inner basin
#

just wondering for the minimum specs

ruby island
#

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

inner basin
#

yeah, my laptop plays fine but only at lowest settings at at like 1% resolution scale lol

ruby island
#

lol well if you dont see a massive performance boost in changing graphics settings that would be cpu bottle necking

static shadow
#

What’s the exact error

short temple
#

It just go fatal error : (

#

I'll get a screenshot

static shadow
#

Please, make sure there is no private info though

short temple
#

That's all it gives me

inner basin
#

wellllllllllll

#

Do you have an AMD graphics card?

short temple
#

Si I'm looking at how to downgrade

inner basin
#

Are you asking how to downgrade, or saying you're going to dew it

short temple
#

Both

#

I can google it tho 🦍

inner basin
#

yeah google would be your friend here, as I run Nvidia

short temple
#

I see

inner basin
#

if you have any further questions don't be afraid to ask

static shadow
#

Amd drives me insane with how many people ask for help for it

blissful sequoia
#

at least there was a pretty quick fix for it

ruby island
#

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

woven ingot
#

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

sonic hare
#

It should have a debuff like it slows you down

simple dust
#

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

terse flume
#

Do you know the key to rotate the camera by default?

simple dust
#

i reseted to default keys, rotating cam being mmb, which is not working

terse flume
#

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.

simple dust
#

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

ruby island
#

my mmb barly works half the time and its not some cheap mouse

simple dust
#

well, thx i guess. It was properly working on foxhole in the past tho (before an undefined patch)

ruby island
#

i just rebound it to the back key on my mouse

simple dust
#

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

ruby island
#

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

terse flume
#

good idea

simple dust
#

^

#

not working

#

it rly seems like my mmb is innexistant for foxhole

ruby island
#

are you sure it works outside the game

simple dust
#

no i'm not

#

i did some tests and it seems it's not working idd

ruby island
#

well then its your mouse

simple dust
#

damn i was starting to maybe think asus mice were less cheap than others

ruby island
#

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

simple dust
#

i'm sorry to hear that, mate

ruby island
#

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

terse flume
#

It might be that a good mmb needs an expensive circuit part and every big name brand is cheaping out on it

ruby island
#

why would it be expensive all it is is a button

#

nothing expensive

#

my mouse is $80

terse flume
#

Is it really though? Scroll wheel also has to scroll.

#

It's two controls on one part, right?

simple dust
#

nah most companies are obviously going full planned obsolescence

ruby island
#

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

simple dust
#

what's crazy is, my mmb isn't even broken

#

physically i mean

#

it's "clicking"

ruby island
#

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

simple dust
#

lol

#

since how much time ?

ruby island
#

wdym

#

how much time for what

simple dust
#

since you have this prob ?

ruby island
#

for the past year or so now

simple dust
#

lol man

#

you are patient

ruby island
#

i have just learned to stop using it all together

#

and rebind it when a game uses it

simple dust
#

just burn it lol

#

as you said

ruby island
#

its my only mouse right now

#

unless i want to use a shitty wireless mouse

stone raft
#

this is happening a lot, it freezes when it gets to 3 and i need to close my game to play again

final tangle
#

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?

inner basin
#

Your Discord status only shows what region you are in, not your exact coordinates

final tangle
#

maybe you can call exact coordinates

royal badge
#

Why would that be good :p?

plush scaffold

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

terse flume
#

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?

arctic talon
#

@terse flume yes, there is character limit on the player names, i believe it is 15 characters max

summer dew
#

and the screen freeze forever.....

sharp ether
#

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
#

same here😢

#

thing like this never happen when it was pre-alpha...

naive topaz

@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

  1. Restart your PC
  2. Verify the game files >> Open Steam >> Right Click Foxhole >> Properties >> Local Files >> Verify Integrity of Game Files
  3. Close any and all programs on your computer >> Open Steam >> Open Foxhole >> Attempt to get in game
  4. Disable all antivirus and firewall solutions; Follow #3
  5. Restart computer completely >> Close any programs that started automatically; Follow #1
  6. Restart internet Modem and/or Router; May be a good idea to perform #3 after
  7. 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
  8. On Wi-Fi? Try using a physical (ethernet) connection instead
  9. On Wi-Fi? Try moving physically closer to the modem/router providing the wireless internet
  10. On Ethernet? Reseat the ethernet cable on both sides; perform #4 as well as #3
  11. Verify all drivers are up to date. This includes graphics drivers; Perform #10
  12. Verify Windows is up to date
  13. Laptop? Make sure the laptop's power/battery setting is set to High Performance.
  14. 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

@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

How-To Geek

There are many reasons you might want to use a third-party DNS server, from parental controls and security features to speed and reliability improvements. You can change the DNS server for your entire home network on your router, or set it individually on a PC, Mac, iPhone, i...

summer dew
#

yes I did

ruby island
#

so you are on 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1

summer dew
#

yep

#

still unstable

ruby island
#

run this then ipconfig /flushdns

#

in cmd

summer dew
#

and then restart the game?

ruby island
#

ya

summer dew
#

I can deploy now😃
but still got connection error when crossing border...

#

plus game freeze

ruby island
#

what adapter did you change when changing dns

#

also have you validated the game

summer dew
#

yes
and does the adapter mean the TCP/IPv4?

ruby island
#

this is what i mean

#

if you have any vpns or other software there could be multiple

summer dew
#

what I change is my ethernet
I don’t use wifi or vpn

ruby island
#

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

summer dew
#

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

ruby island
#

well then just try normal logs and you dont need pro

#

worked fine

summer dew
#

so I can divide my paste?

#

because the problem is it’s too long

ruby island
#

ummm hmm

#

try this

summer dew
#

exceeds maximum length XD
so what’s the paste for?

ruby island
#

are you sure you are just sending one text file

summer dew
#

yes

ruby island
#

i have never had that happen on hastebin

summer dew
#

it has 5205 lines lol

ruby island
#

what if you try sending it over discord

summer dew
ruby island
#

is this a crash log or a normal log

summer dew
#

crash log

ruby island
#

can you go back out of the crashes directory and go into logs

summer dew
#

oh ok I just saw that normal war.log lol

ruby island
#

ya thats the latest log that was generated

summer dew
ruby island
#

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

summer dew
#

hmm ok

ruby island
#

restart after the installation and try again

#

if you still have the same issue come back and resend the log

summer dew
#

roger that

ruby island
#

you might want to do a clean install just to make sure

summer dew
#

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 ! 😍

ruby island
#

so you can travel between borders

summer dew
#

yup
without error this time

ruby island
#

thats good have fun with the game

summer dew
#

ty very much!

ruby island
#

yeet

blissful sequoia
#

youre doin good work, thecuz

hushed plover
olive depot
#

i have that issue 2

hushed plover
#

couldnt rejoin for like 10 mins

ruby island
#

well if you both have the issue its most likely a issue with the server

blissful sequoia
#

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

ruby island
#

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

blissful sequoia
#

there is less of that now, because less people play logistics

#

people are very grateful for logistics drivers now

ruby island
#

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

blissful sequoia
#

sometimes there is incredible coordination, it can be kind of random

ruby island
#

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

blissful sequoia
#

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 wut

#

but you are right

quick rover
#

How do I Install the Foxhole War Map Bot and the Foxhole Tech Updates Bot?

terse flume
quick rover
#

Thnx

#

Im quite new to discord, so what is a numerical role ID?

#

Nvm I got it

quick rover
#

@terse flume, you didnt put the link for the map

terse flume
quick rover
#

@terse flume so after the resistance these bots work now?

light swift
#

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

blissful sequoia
#

supposedly it works

light swift
#

ahh i just downgraded and noticed there was a new one. i guess i'll try the new one and see

light swift
#

i'm on 20.2.1 and it seems like it works

ruby island
#

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
