FATAL ERROR ON AMD GRAPHICS CARD
If you're using an AMD Graphics card, check your driver version. Only versions 20.1.2 and upwards will work as it fixes a bug that occurred in previous drivers.
now to wait until a DM is available
dm?
discord mod, for pinning the new message
ah
well it should be pushed over windows update and will probably be forced installed to most systems
so you will get way less people asking about it
dont worry windows is great at forcing updates
😅 that's good to know
uh...why?
Hey, hoping I can find some aid in this group, but not 100% on who to ping or ask. I've had the game for about a week or so, but have yet to be able to play the game. Comes up with an error box saying 'fatal error' and crashes out each time I try to launch it. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling multiple times, and tried verifying integrity of the game files. So far nothing has worked. if anyone could help me figure out what is going wrong, that'd be great. And scrolled up to see something about graphics drivers, while I was waiting out the timer...already checked that, mine is saying it's up to date, so that's not the problem, either. And have tried launching it with absolutely everything shut down, except steam in order to launch it. I'm running out of ideas on what to do. But it seems to just be me, as others I know have been playing it this whole time without being able to figure out what is wrong on my side. So it's not a bug in the game, as far as I know, which means it has to be something on my end, but I have no idea what.
@lost pagoda if you have an amd card update your drivers
I already addressed that suggestion. Already checked and made sure they were up to date.
which version
up to date could mean on 19.12.2 if cache hasn't updated
which is bugged
The driver I got pulled up I'm looking at now says version 26.20.15002.61
Which is to say, I may be looking at the wrong driver all together, but absolutely none of my drivers are coming up as needing updates
downloading, will update once it's done and I try again.
you also might want to do a clean install as there was a bug i saw with not properly updating reported with amd
i am seen a few instances of it
I've already reinstalled it several times, so another go at it can't hurt. I'll give that a go while I'm at it to try and hit it from each angle.
ya thats driver version i sent will work to fix the issue but there is a chance not all components will be installed due to a bug
i have no clue what conditions trigger it
but i have seen it a few times
as for no driver updates showing up what gpu do you have
because 20.1.3 should show up a recommended
and a download through radeon software
the only 2 options i can see is if your gpu from whatever reason has been dropped from support and will not offer you new driver versions or the update is hitting cache
i dont think any gpus have been dropped so pretty sure you are just hitting cache
ok, I got blind-sided by the restart. And plz keep in mind, I'm nothing close to a tech guy, I barely understand how computers work well enough to play video games, so I don't know what your asking about. But the driver is installed, re-installing the game, and as for the driver....I use Driver Booster. if it don't show a driver needs and update, I don't see it, and it didn't show this update for my drivers. Still, will know soon-ish if that fixed the issue.
well uhhh never ever ever use a external driver installer
those generally install adware and other things on top of most the time not official drivers
and you didnt need to reinstall the game
realistically the only drivers you will ever need to update are gpu drivers
other then that as long as other stuff works reasonably well you dont need to update other drivers
and windows most the time will keep you reasonably updated without any input anyways
If I didn't need to reinstall, what did you mean when you suggested clean install?
ohhh when i meant clean install i meant clean install the driver
and I don't know what a gpu is, so I don't know what driver to look for.
as for not using an outside driver installer...I assume Driver booster is one of those ,but without such a program, I have no idea how to even find the drivers I need, or know when what drivers are out of date.
they rebranded it
well as i originally said that only drivers you will ever have to worry about is gpu drivers
your gpu is what runs anything graphical
And the pic you sent is something I couldn't place, I have no idea where that is, unless your talking factory reset the whole computer, and I'd greatly prefer if that isn't a thing I need to do.
oh no no thats when you run the application from the link i sent
but if the game works with just a normal install dont worry about it
i would recommend removing any external driver installers
and if you ever need help with drivers i will most likely be here as this isnt just for foxhole help
Game finally successfully launched, barring unexpected errors, seems that solved the issue. I'll worry about dealing with Driver booster and finding where the program from the link went and hid itself so I can make a thumbnail link or something to it for later use once I work with the guys that been waiting like...a week for me to be able to join them, so they can finally drag me in....knowing them, in a trial-by-fire means of learning.
just make sure to use radeon software which should be installed to update your gpu drivers
as that is the official app and will pull the correct drivers for you
other then that do not worry about any other drivers for your system
they are pretty much handled by windows at this point
other then that have fun with the game
uh I have tried refreshing the server list but still got the same message 😦
@summer dew https://discordapp.com/channels/203512636556574720/551236268004999168/551239621598773249 try all of this
yes I’ve tried all those method...again lol
do you have an anti virus or firewall
nope
all turned off
I mean I ‘ve turned off the anti virus and allow the game to pass through the firewall
should I turn off the firewall totally?
well if its a third party firewall yes but do not turn off windows firewall
do this press win button + r and type %appdata% go back a directory to the appdata folder and go into local\foxhole\saved\logs and send the war.log on https://pastebin.com/ that would be the latest log the game generated

@ruby island like this?
.
@summer dew Are you able to get in the home region at all?
nope
not at all 😦
@summer dew download the latest driver for nvidia and install
nvidia has a weird habbit of doing this probably due to a bugged version
i have seen it do all sorts of things
yes I did
it’s already the latest version and solved the problem that cannot travel through border on 2/4
Hey y'all. I'm having some trouble with my PTT in game. It was working last night with no changes made, but now when I hit ANY button I set to activate PTT, nothing pops up.
Tried to reconnect a few times; closed the game, restarted, unplugged the microphone; set it to a different microphone... But it doesn't appear to want to activate in game.
Well; now I'm getting the old and true [8] 6-0 error, the usual reconnect/restart fix isn't fixing it.
Looks like the error was with Voicemeter Banana; that I use for streaming and sound gating. 😦
i dont think the [8] 6-0 error would be caused by voice meter
@quick island the [8] 6-0 error means a connection issue nothing to do with voice meter
there was some connections issues with voice chat recently
i would recommend you change your dns servers to 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1 follow this https://discordapp.com/channels/203512636556574720/551236268004999168/551238446379696130
@quick island I heavily doubt the error is Voicemeeter. In the past before we had better solutions, installing and setting up voicemeeter was a workaround that we actively used to help people.
🤔 I have no idea just what it was doing then; As soon as I turned Voicemeter off (Full program close), I was able to use PTT again no problem, and as soon as I turned VM back on, PTT wouldn't activate on the keypress.
It's got to be some weird thing on my side, but right now, I'll just play without VM on; until I come up with a working solution.
@quick island try the output on something else to verify that voice meter is actually outputting sound
as for the error its was probably temporarily down
Having a problem with getting myself deployed, often ended up with lost connection while loading, also problem with traveling to another region, always ended up with the same thing as well. I have updated my drivers, and yes, i have a broadband internet connection. Any ideas ?
@gentle otter do this press win button + r and type %appdata% go back a directory to the appdata folder and go into local\foxhole\saved\logs and send war.log 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.
@ruby island Yeah, that was the first thing I checked. It's not so much that people can't hear me, but that PTT just wouldn't activate...
the mic icon only appears when your mic is outputting
meaning if you just press the ptt button nothing will appear until you actually start talking
or the game sees a level output with the mic
a program like voice meter would not interfere with the games ptt
@quick island verify that when you talk sound comes out of the correct recording device in the sound control panel and set it as both default device and default communication device
@ruby island i can't, it says that i've reached the maximum paste size, i dont know why but my logs file is pretty big
can you just send the log file over discord then
great i see vivox errors
so, is that a really bad error ?
no just vivox is complete trash and always breaks try this https://discordapp.com/channels/203512636556574720/551236268004999168/551238198995451924
I can't even get in
@rotund fiber do you have any firewall or anti virus software
If your don't then that makes you a muppet of sorts
of you do then disable all their protection stuff
Maybe
could be interfering with the game
I doubt that
has it worked previously
ok
if that doesnt work next you can try verifying the game files
Still having the same issue, especially region with high population, @ruby island
so does it just refuse to connect or does it stay connected for a bit then disconnect you
It says, retrying connection
And then at attempt numb. Around 2 or 3 always ended up with lost connection
hmmm try changing your dns servers to 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1 following this https://discordapp.com/channels/203512636556574720/551236268004999168/551238446379696130 also open command prompt and type ipconfig /flushdns after you finish changing them
@ruby island still not working😞
can you send a updated log now @gentle otter
btw war.log is the latest log that the game generated
#MFGA
@ruby island Yea; just brought everything back up and retested it, It all works fine, off of Foxhole. Right now, I'm thinking that its actually Foxhole looping back through Voicemeter because I'm setting the output for my voicemeter wrong somehow, since my friends are saying that they can hear my game audio on Discord; when I was testing it out. I'm fairly sure I'm to stupid to actually figure out what the hell I'm doing wrong. 


ya well good luck last time i used voice meter i was lost and had to watch like an hour long video just on a tutorial just to firgure it out
that was stupid
Yea; I'll just not use a mixer while playing Foxhole, since that's the thing messing up PTT for me.
Solved it! PTT was looping back; changing the output fixed it.
@gentle otter well the only thing i can think left for you to do is install a vpn and enable it and see if the same issue occurs to take your isp and some other variables out
yeet
you can use proton vpn they are free and pretty good
that would remove the potential of your isp messing with stuff
Can you do anything with foxhole api other than make map bots
There is a bot which tells you when the tech research is finished and how long the next takes
So yes
"war service connection failed" message, cant deploy (map doesnt work), all other game in steam work properly... what should i do? cant play for a few month :*(
@karmic whale err that's not part of the API though, more like guestimation from the site owners 
@autumn dawn You could make a timeline or graph of casualties as the war progresses 🙂
WarAPI provides some other info besides who owns what
I need help. My in game voice chat is choppy as hell. Anyone have any idea on how to fix it
ok i keep logging in and get to the deployment map and there's nothing showing up to deploy at and then i'm loosing connection... what's going on here.
@daring kraken similar as of today
hello, how to fix failed to download profile 1?
Any interest in building a GraphQL API for the War API?
I think that might be a cool way to increase third party development around the game, especially due to how relational and nested the existing dataset is
Are you guys using Dynamo on AWS for the DataStore by chance?
OK new update
still can't play
Help
First time I asked for help was in september from last year

For details its still the same : on launch, I only get a blackscreen that leads to a crash after like 5 seconds
THE THING IS
If I play offline it runs perfectly fine, I can explore the main menu, the options and all, except when I turn the wifi back on and click refresh, which leads to an almost instant crash
I did hard reset, soft reset, played on mobile data, downloaded the game multiple times, played without my firewall and my antivirus...
@pulsar trellis send logs by pressing win button + r and type %appdata% go back a directory to the appdata folder and go into local\foxhole\saved\logs and send war.log on https://pastebin.com/

fresh install the latest nvidia gpu drivers and download directly from nvidias site
Hmmmm ok
As you wish sir
and start the game after fresh installing the nvidia drivers
Ok then
Hmmm it's also downloading the geforce experience thing
yes for some reason nvidia like to report unknown and tends to cause lots of issues within the game
also i see Couldn't resolve host name
you might also need to change dns servers

https://discordapp.com/channels/203512636556574720/551236268004999168/551238446379696130 follow this and set dns to 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1
i like 1.1.1.1 better then googles dns
done
and assuming you have installed the latest gpu drivers launch the gane
same thing?
nah black screen and crash :((
so reload the view of windows explorer doesnt refresh with a crashes directory
But as I said the strangest part is that when launching offline it works perfectly fine
that to me makes no sense
if it didnt generate a crash report then it never crashed and must have generated a normal log
resent war.log
I got the war log one ?
that will be the latest log generated
yup
and you did restart correct
My pc ?
yes
COming back
k
hmmm can you link the page for the driver download
I feel like the game doesn't even actually load
its almost like the game exist on purpose
so, no time to create log
but even the log has no trace it just ends
if the game crashes regardless of what stage it should create a crash dump

hmmm it might be something with steam
make sure your internet is connected and in steam go to the top left and click steam then go offline then try to run the game
Hmmmm...
does it crash
hmm then its not a steam thing

i still dont understand why internet would affect a game to crash
have you tried lan as opposed to wlan
HMMMMM I think I did a while ago
But I could try again (not now tho, its 3 am for me)
to make the game work did you disable wlan entirely or just disconnect from the network
I just disconnect from my wifi, then connect again
so you dont actually turn it off just disconnect iot and leave it searching from wifi networks
Yeah I just leave it searching and "forget" the ones I know the password of
thats weird

very weird
maybe try going to your laptops site and download the wlan driver
yas
got wlan driver
install it and restart
ya
hmmm comparing it to my log everything looks normal no errors out of place
Then why foxhole ? whyyyyyyyy
thats where your log just ends

well uhhh maybe its a problem with windows dlls or something
open up command prompt in admin and run this DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth and wait for it to complete then restart
did you accept the prompt
run that command and restart after it finishes
well uhh the only think i can think of is windows thats causing the problem as there is no crash dump so the game is somehow getting shutdown on purpose how that relates to the internet idk
you can try tomorrow disabling your wifi entirely within the adapter screen and connect using lan
and see if the same result happens
Ho right I will try the lan thing
Ok !
Hmmmm...
Nope, Lan didn't work
Got any Bluetooth stuff enabled?
bluetooth would not make the game crash without making a dump of the crash
and disconnecting from the internet seems to make the game work
otherwise it just a blank screen and closes
seemingly by purpose as no crash log is generated and the normal log just cuts off
but why would disconnecting a wifi network cause the game to crash even if in both cases hypothetically there was a bluetooth headset attached
i dont know why. i dont have the code.
just because i dont understand the mechanism doesnt mean i havent observed it
basically what ive seen is weird networks can cause the game to crash, weird wifi issues or bluetooth
removing the network means it doesnt crash, but obviously you still cant play. 🤷♂️
well then lets find out @pulsar trellis do you have any sort of bluetooth adapter or headset
Nope, I could check if bluetooth is on ok my pc but thats all
can you disable all forms of bluetooth if your laptop has it
i think you can go into adapter settings and disable it
then go into recording and playback settings and make sure that there is only 1 device enabled and set for default of both communication and default
that would complete eliminate any sort of audio issues
or bluetooth stuff
It only happens if a device is connected
Really funny idea...try putting in another Boot Drive and install Windows completely fresh on it.
install Steam
install Foxhole
Test the whole thing.
As said...put another Boot Drive into the PC
like take the (probably SSD) out put another in and install Windows on it
laptop manufacturer?
hp
Which one?
HP Pavilion 15-cs3001nf
There are several things you can try.
Some you did already some not.
- Hard Reset
- Using a VM an installing on it another Windows Installation trying the game there
- Reinstalling Steam and Foxhole
- Updating your Windows (Check for Updates, Windows is weird like that)
- deactivating the iGPU within the Bios
- Updating Bios HP got there this nice software solution for Windows
- Catching the Internet Traffic trough your Ethernet or Wireless Adapter and looking trough the Packages what happens before the Game crashes.
and several over thing I'm not thinking of right now because i'm tired af
Be warned...some of the stuff is not really something for beginners
I already got a VM so let me try that
k, I hope you have luck but i'm tapping out...as said tired af
you could always ask for KFC for a bit of help and if he has the time for it, cause its weird that it doesn`t work with you....my guess is that its perhaps the weird MX250...but thats just a wild guess on my side
ahh...8. deactivate dGPU and use the iGPU
😄
Poor kfc, he already spent so much time trying to help me a few months ago
But I don't think it's a gpu issue, as it run perfectly fine when I'm offline
im too lazy to scroll up - do you have 2 network devices to test with? is it the same on both?
can you screen shot your network devices control panel so we can see the adapters?
i am suspicious about you already have a VM, and virtual network adapters. perhaps uninstalling your VM software (particularly the virtual bridge) is a worthy test
What do you mean by two network devices ? My english is bad :')
And I could uninstall my VM software, will try that later
I can't get my mic working
It worked ok before the update. not it can't pick up my voice
Ho ok I will check and tell you
For the VM software, it's the oracle VM one
Game on startup goes black or doesn't pull up at all, game application is open, and the designated solution has not helped, nor has my previous one.
Only suggestion I have left is to check the games file integrity
I did that and reinstalled the game three times.
Also tried to change compatibility to Windows 7 and 8.
Operating on 10 btw
I got it to work TWICE. Both were due to me enabling windows 8 compatibility, now it straight dosen't work
the second time didn't even get into the battle

@terse flume amd card?
igpu?
press win + r and type C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Foxhole\Saved\Logs and send the latest log 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.
Lemme open up discord on my pc
https://pastebin.com/QrJDej8N @ruby island
my guess is the last line causing the issue
only one from 24th of last year
oof hmmm
oh god its large
maybe try updating your gpu driver its about 2 years out of date
Gonna sound stupid, but how?
is this a laptop
Yes
ok go to the manufactures site of your laptop and find drivers or downloads for it and type in the model of your laptop
then it will give you all of the driver downloads for your laptop
find the intel or vga drivers and get them
rgr
trying to get this shit to install
did you install them
Cant find where to shove the install .exe
gonna download straight EXE this time
see if it works
because its SUPPOSED TO
Nothing
are you sure that is the correct model you put in
did you restart after updating
ya drivers are not fully installed till a restart
joy, ok restarting
i assume you tried this https://discordapp.com/channels/203512636556574720/551236268004999168/551237611381981214
correct
NYUZAH!
let's see if I can actually get in though
Timing out is F. U. N.
so did you get in or are you timing out
ya well unfortunately that what laptop igpus are
they are not designed for gaming and tend to be on low power chips meaning they really cant do much
Hey guys, read that I could have my faction switched if I spoke to someone in the Discord, is this still a thing? New back to the game
...and messed up and picked the wrong one
you have 15minutes before you are faction-locked
otherwise send a dm to Mod Mail, mods can help
usually, players will need to have not played for at least 24 consecutive hours before the request is considered
Even though I changed before 15 mins, I still didn't get onto the team
Said faction switching not allowed
Which is obviously not ideal but that's how it goes 🙂
After 6 min you are faction locked @steel gate if u are locked you can ask a mod after that u will have acces to the game for 24hour, it's to prevent giving fresh intel
He sorted me out already pal, thanks for the help!
Np
@ruby island can a 100% disk usage is the cause of my traveling problem ?
well that would cause slow loading of the maps
you can defragment to help that
unless you have a ssd
100% disk usage will break your whole OS
clean some of that up jesus.
Defragment doesnt help at all
Send help
Im dying
Ps : im not a computer expert at all, i came from stoneage
unfortunately on slow hard drives thats all windows does is 100%
my old laptop when started is pinned for like 10-20 minutes at 100% and when i press the start button that pins it for at least the next 5 minutes
problem is windows instead of caching most commonly used stuff it just loads what is vital to the system at the moment meaning anything you do in windows will use the hard drive
this gives the effect of a faster pc on boot but you suffer when loading anything
thats also why the most annoying thing in windows happens where you right click something and it takes like a minute to load a fucking context menu
Put windows onto a dedicated SSD is probably the best thing you can do for your computer nowadays. I recommend 128 gigabytes at least.
Im using a pretty much crappy laptop
Suddenly error 1, failed to download shard. Followed the tech read-first for network issues. Created incoming rule exception for foxhole. Ran without firewall/AV. No luck Resolved
Hey
I need help plz :>
When i click at the area where i wanna go, the games brings a loading screen, the loading screen takes forever and when i open the task manager it says that the game is not even responding, Help
I need help.
It helps when I start the game to be instantly closed by a Crash.
How can I fix it?
can try updating video drivers
Having done nothing since my previous post, the shard is no longer failing to download. Thanks anyway.
@worn fossil if you have a amd card their drivers are broken for foxhole between 19.12.2-20.1.1 it just shows a black screen on boot update your drivers if you do
@terse flume check disk usage and if its still loading stuff in if it is just wait
im glad foxhole works on the newer amd drivers but the drivers cause problems in other apps now >.>
I rolled them back, and then verified foxhole files.
@light swift try updating to the latest optional rather then the recommended
HI ! Only in foxhole i have an interesting and annoying problem.. after win10 reinstall the game "crashing" my sound card it makes no sound in game and in other apps. ( I am using 7.1 adapter headset, which is 100% not the problem)
Anyone who had this issue, or similar please tag me.
Bought a new laptop and cant get the game to launch. Would I receive help here another or hannel? Cant find the answer online, just that I should go to discord
Did all the basics: drivers, verify, reinstall, windowed mode, resolution change
@community
Have you done a proper reinstall? @viral pasture
If not, the instructions to do so are pinned in this channel
Will double check. Event viewer says it's the shipping.exe
Did proper, didnt work
Exactly. Will launch into black screen then crash
does it crash with fatal error
No, nothing afterward. Just exits
Logs only say faulty app shipping.exe event id:1000
Tried deleting, verifying, excluding from antivirus, then launching as well. Didnt work
press win + r and paste C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Foxhole\Saved\ and check if a crashes directory exists
event viewer is useless for stuff like this
thats more for windows stuff
Dont have an appdata folder there. Maybe that's it?
press the windows button + r and copy and paste that appdata is hidden by default
[CrashReportClient]
bHideLogFilesOption=false
bIsAllowedToCloseWithoutSending=true
CrashConfigPurgeDays=2
so within that crashes directory look for the latest modified folder and send war.log over discord within that folder
hmmm do you have any sort of bluetooth devices
can you disable bluetooth
disabled, run as admin, run as normal, still same thing
hmmm try this
https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/releases)
Extract the .tar.gz using WinRAR or 7Zip
Copy the dxgi.dll and dx11.dll from the x64 folder.
Go to your Foxhole directory
Paste the files in War/Binaries/Win64
Start the game.```
that could be a temp bypass
in the x64 file dx11 doesnt exist. the only dx is dxgi.dll everything else starts with d3
maybe i did it wrong?
gotcha thanks a ton for troubleshooting with me, whether anything works or not
ya no idea if this will work
damn heres what happened
copied and pasted, launched by double clicking shipping.exe then the 'missing dx files' populated. staying on the black screen longer but still crashed
two text docs and a cache filed populated that is
why are you launching it directly
tried launching through steam, normal, and run as admin but nothing happened
so launched directly then that did
weird i just tried the 2 files just like you and it worked fine
check for windows updates
did those files populate? did you already have them?
this is what i have
yeah exactly weird. no im up to date tried that a long while ago and just redid through 'check for updates'
firewall and AV turned off too
well those logs are normal
oh ok. i assume the .dll arent always supposed to be there, just makes them easier to find this way
you can also try updating your graphics driver
those are to essentially bypass directx
yeah that too did all the normal ones. ive no idea really. im going to do another clean install and the .ddl trick
normal 'checks' that is including the driver update
go to your laptops site and find the support or downloads section
alright
then put in the model of your laptop and put it into there
and find the vga or graphics driver
whats the driver date
11/29
ya your current driver is 11/6
still crash. ill download everything on there just in case?
did you restart after installing
hmm discnnect your wifi and try to open the game
someone else had that issue for some reason
delete those 2 files you copied over from dxvk
now its just 'failed to download download shard error 1'
then when wifi reconnect it crashes
hmmm weird
does get me into the "game" tho. if i exit out of that and lick the play button the same errord pops up, shard 1
does it crash immediately upon reconnect
yeah. no error, same thing just closes
can you send the crash log of that
is it possible that you can test lan rather then wifi
cant currently, no
prob a wifi prob tho?
games on the desktop run fine, just the new laptop being fickle
hmmmm go to discord and disable hardware acceleration
go to settings appearance then disable
discord? running through browser
hmmm
i guess i am at least proud of the uniqueness of this lol...
well someone also had the exact same issue i wonder if its more related to hardware
thats the comp
have directx 12 installed and when i launched without wifi graphics were preset to ultra (unless it does that auto for any comp)
just launched Bad North fine, which seems comporable
did that at first but will def try again
right now, sec
they say to delete the foxhole in the local folder first uninstall restart and install
ah ok yeah noticed that we'll see if it makes a diff
nope failed lol
is this the type of game where i need to link a profile to the website? or if I bought it on steam im good?
not sure what you mean
some games require a separate profile somewhere, like their website, and then when you launch you login to that profile. linking the two. is that required or just the steam purchase and steam account?
last time i played was alpha
there is no separate login so just steam
tried switch dns, no bueno. still dont know whats up so if anyone happens to stumble upon the previous convo and have any ideas, please do let me know. thank you cuz for the large amount of troubleshooting
maybe I found the issue: although I have 12gb of possible ram, I dont have dedicated ram. it scales isntead. does this game look purely at dedicated instead of scaling?
i think what you mean is you dont have dedicated ram to gpu
that shouldnt effect it tho
but you can check bios depending on how locked down it is and usually change the amount of ram allocated to your igpu
but that wouldnt help as its something weird going on with the interaction of the internet
as the other person with this issue had the same exact thing on lan
gotcha yeah looked in bios, its locked
yeah weird downloaded multiple other games and they connect fine. will try again tom
Wait what
What do you mean ram scales.
You have hardware ram that your system uses for the game and itself..you have dedicated GPU Ram that the GPU uses to store information for it to display and load quickly when rendering. And then shared GPU memory which from what i understand is just your systen ram.
Windows 10 Task Manager should tell you all that information.
In what little ive seen about people saying the game fails to run. Most of the time its been on an Integrated GPU. IE the processor has basic GPU graphics. Sometimes it can handle it sometimes it cant. Usually you only use the iGPU for basic work or extra monitors. Not for running graphics intensive programs like modelling, rendering, and video gaming.
yeah, integrated but with an i5 and 12gb ram
but if you do not have a dedicated gpu the memory for the integrated is shared
weird thing is game loads when offline, not when on
Aight yeah thats fuck.
I dont think its the ISP
the same issue happened to someone with a mx250
so i dont think its the gpu thats the problem
Or maybe the specific version of the Unreal Engine this game is built with.
i really dont know i cant figure out why it causes the game to crash
from the other person lan and wlan both crash the game so its not a specific problem with the network adapter or driver
Yeah its probably spaghetti code in Foxhole.
To be fair its hard to build for the sheer amount of chip architectures out there. And the jank ass user setups running them. And have 100% no crashes.
But this would be a first for me observing. Where lan and wireless crash a game.
And usually only on iGPUs
well its not really the game devs job to build it for all the different hardware setups thats what a lot of the different apis are for so devs dont have to worry about supporting hardware
True.
figured im going to buy two copies of the game. then tell them both whoever runs first doesnt get uninstalled. put some competition in them. prob do it
Wat
Sounds like an old as balls card. Unless thats one of the newer AMDs
actually fairly new
I havent kept up with GPU names. Oh. Interestinf
GeForce MX250 boosts laptop performance for the most demanding entertainment and productivity applications.
from the logs it uses a 1/4 of my virtual mem when offline but none when online, doesnt even get to the point of accessing
i wonder if the laptops are from the same manufacture
hp here
Fuck i dunno. I know laptops have to have special parts built due tonsmall size and things are usually hard soldered on. But i was curious if the way the chips and such are layered had a difference or something. Causing laptops on this specific engine of Unreal to fail.
well they do have custom motherboards with different sata controllers and chipsets
@pulsar trellis what brand is your laptop?
alright furtherest i've gotten: launch in windowed mode and disable fullscreen optimization. that combo gets me to the mini load screen for a couple seconds then crashes
Hp one
Can you make it possible to play Foxhole through GeforceNOW ?
isnt that mainly up to Nvidia?
@inner basin the devs ccould talk to nvidia ?! and ask them to make it possible?!
so def something with HP for the cant run when connected to wifi issue. weird
@viral pasture @pulsar trellis can you both open up dxdiag and click save all information then dm me the txt file
maybe i can find a similarity between both your laptops causing the issue
sent, thanks cuz
well that would be caused by a slow connection or possibly the server
considering its the first time in 1k hours its most likely the server
Has any one received the error for not being able to download shard info?
Ohhhh yeah boi
how do I fix it?
i think [the rubberbanding] its just funky servers
andy, its usually firewall, antivirus, or DNS server that causes the shard error. sometimes its your ISP
Unless you have an hp laptop, then you are out of luck
Can you take a look on USB adapter support? the game is shutting down my sound card ..
Hey are u able to play foxhole on Vega 11 G card??? with 8gb of ram?
bc i get the crash ue4 msg every time i start to boot
@wet arrow whats your driver version
how does one check it ?? because its an integrated gcard
its not named catalyst anymore
anyone playing foxhole in windows 7? looked at the spec it says compatible
yes the game will run on windows 7
So I downgraded drivers to 19.11.3 and it's still crashing
nvm got it working
had to minimize the screen so foxhole would load and change the grapchis from ultra
interesting
Whoever is below me is gay
I reject your argument and opt to ascend to the 6th dimension
I’m getting an issue about “failed to download profile [1]”
I just got the same issue @rustic idol , literally just a few seconds ago.
Yeah same here, got a server connection time out then bam
same
ya servers are down
steam servers are down??
Was there a warning or did they just go tits up randomly?
Don't steam servers tend to go down for a second on Tuesdays for maintenance? Could be wrong but I feel like that happens
^^^^^ yeah
Now I know
Its failing to download my profile I just bought the game
@storm obsidian
It happen again for anyone else?
great discord and steam are having issues
^
Is there a way to open ports towards foxhole servers??? and which ones to open?
Anyone know why I'm having a server disconnect EVERY time I go to deploy?
Guys does anybody know how to resolve voice chat problems?(Voice Chat connection lost reconnecting)
can an RPG knock you out of a tank?
no
so why did it happen?
ive never seen that. you didnt hit q by accident? was the tank destroyed?
nope and nope they just shot us and we flew out
when a vehicle explodes it ejects the passengers
ive never seen anyone get shot out tho, ive seen some take damage in a battle tank but not fly out
yeah well its kinda weird that we take damage in a tank from an rocket ? like what are they shooting ?
the vehicle didnt explode they just took it after
wish you had recorded that. itd be worth a reddit post
anyone else experienced this strange bug of being in a ghost squad? I am in a squad I cant leave. on the f1 menu it shows im not in one. Cant be invited to other squads. restarting does not solve it.
can you create a new squad and then leave it?
nope.
i havent heard of this before
can you join any public ones?
oh right you cant see them probably
No, it shows the same squad as if you are in one on the squad tab, but its only my name. none of the buttons there do anything cant lock it, cant invite to it, cant leave it etc etc.
simply a broken squad im stuck in
It appears my mouse can no longer rotate using the middle mouse button
Everything else works with the middle scroll button, but not in game
It also seems my mouse isnt being read in game
I have had this happen before, it could be, if you have a wireless mouse, it is low on batteries.
Or you need to clean your mouse.
Also, you might have an actual faulty mouse, where the problems don't show until you hold click it. Make sure hold click isn't broken.
@radiant mason
Foxhole KILLS your w and your middle mouse button. Bad design fir hardware is the reason I stopped playing for a while, actually.
Ahh. It's fixed since then
What are these guys?
how do I know if a cpu cooler already has thermal paste installed? It says it does in description, but when touched lightly it feels like plain metal.
yes amd,i updated drivers today
so its working now
This error disappeared, but now at startup i have a static image
click your mouse
but when I do alt + tab, it changes, but still remains static. It looks like a slide show xD
can you ss the screen you are stuck on
@errant sand thermal paste is thick like cream cheese. very hard to get off your hands. it doesnt feel like metal
its usually gray or white
havent heard of this. perhaps updating your video drivers could fix it
happens to me on WWII Online, something to do with incompatibility of graphics cards
ayy i got VOIP AIDS
"voip aids" 
@hot oak
game crashes my system back to boot anywhere from starting to 5 min of play
AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6 core
A320M-A PRO board
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 graphics card
no msi overclock or apps used
you gotta update your power supply drivers
one of my m8 had same problem
for real tho
your specs shouldnt matter as i know from my experience,
maybe its something with your disk
@calm forge
Power supply... Drivers 🤔

Believe it or not after some digging with my local pc shop my graphics card is overheating xD but only showed with a more in depth component checker
was going to ask you that. but then i didnt.
i feel like im paranoid about gpu heat
i suppose a simple test would be to run some load test and watch it crash there too
usually a fan replacement is inexpensive
hold on did i just see power supply drivers?
i am sorry to say but a power supply has all the logic inside of it to handle all it needs it has no need to even communicate to the pc meaning no drivers
the only thing i can see is for some rgb
thats about it
but even then it should just come with a rgb header that plugs into your motherboard meaning you would just need rgb software for your motherboard
the only drivers you will ever need are your motherboards drivers, potentially chipset if you have problems and your gpu drivers
and if you have any external devices connected to pcie
thats very rare these says tho
baited
hey when i launch the game it turns black and after awhile it says fatal error Eu4 something something. does anyone know how to fix that
pls
probably download the newest video drivers
especially if you have an AMD video card
versions 20.1.2 and upwards fix this problem
Hello chads. My squad voicechat doesn't work anymore, and I've tried the following; reconnecting, rejoining squad, relaunched the client, validated my steam files. Are there any more brilliant ideas I can try to fix this?
Crossing the border on foot seems to have fixed it. I only crossed with a transport truck. 🙂
hello I have a problem with the game someone could help me
@lone frigate is it too late>?
+telling what the problem is up front, increases chances that someone will help you
i got a error-Failed to download profile[1]
any suggestions to deal with it?
restart steam
thanks
people cant read my chat in World ,Squad ,and Squad, only Local and Whisper work. How do I fix this?
chat settings is sprocket/kog/gear above chat window
make sure english is on
wow it fixed tysm!
Hey, I'm having an issue where it takes up to 5 seconds before my voice chat activates and sometimes it never does. It's kinda making it hard to communicate with others, but I hope that there is a way to fix this problem. Thank you beforehand, regards Peter.
sounds like your mic is very quiet
the mic icon is only shown when levels are above a threshold make sure that is not the issue
how do I fix my "speed hacking" problem?

man this whole push into ES is a meme
@velvet marlin make sure your internet isnt saturated by downloading anything to your pc or other things on your network also what country are you based in as it could have a impact depending on the distance to foxholes servers also that frame rate is quite low do you also get that when not recording?
@community im getting a "Failed to download profile[1]" error
Thanks in advance for any help
Like 10 msgs above, says restart steam and it helped for someone
ingame voice is trash for me(cracking, popping, lagging), others are laggy worse then discord sound quality, and when i press T icon is not showing up instantly and its has a big delay on it.. any fix for this ? in past all was good ...
@fathom hamlet verify your game also the sound icon only appears when your mic passes a threshold and when it does you know your talking
@ruby island this is after a multiple reinstall and verify , 😦
all i can say is blame vivox but you can try this https://discordapp.com/channels/203512636556574720/551236268004999168/551238198995451924
update: my mic is the same shit, lagging etc for others.. but on discord and ts3 no problem with it
i gonna try
while in game now i alt tabbed and my sound gone for game and discord again.. thats bs
@fathom hamlet make sure you only have 1 default device and communication device and disable all others for both playback and recording and do you have bluetooth?
@ruby island yeah i did it, disabled all the unwanted stuff, i am using logitech g430 with its usb adapter
Voice chat not working.. Tried the above link and still doesn't work. Fresh install
@hearty gate does it give you a error? no icon? cant hear anyone?
No error. No icon and can't hear any
But it shows the icon of others who uses voice chat
@blissful sequoia failed to download profile HELP
restart steam
Boys i need help
I try to connect more than 50 times
You are Lost conection to server
Or like this
@wispy rune update video drivers
did u try to verify your game in steam? maybe u got some files missing @wispy rune
@narrow iron restart steam
no bambi that is a common issue with amd drivers between 19.12.2 and 20.1.1
oh oki
@ruby island i will try by updating the drivers, thanks for the help
yeet
@ruby island i already restart game, restar steam, reinstal the game and steam but not change
go to your steam settings and in game then set this to 5000
Hello,who can send me this app?
I don't want to use Excel
If you have the app,can you send me that ,thx
@fast light there is a website for that
Does anyone have connectivity issues to Foxhole? When I'm in a region it's fine usually fine but when I border travel 9 out of 10 times I will get disconnected and sent back to the home region.
I only have issues with Foxhole, other wise my internet is fine
I'm pretty sure that foxhole bricked my computer
it was a kernel error, so probably not, but I was playing foxhole at the time
I have the theory that my computer was so done with my shitty skills so it killed itself
?
@terse flume it is virtually impossible to brick a computer
as long as you can get into the bios you are not bricked
also i have gotten one kernel error from a game before relating to some security check or something
If I try hard enough I could likely repair it, but I’m not technical nor do I really want to pay someone to repair it
so what exactly do you mean does windows not load
its not that difficult to burn out a laptop gpu
depending if its a igpu
if its a dedicated maybe but igpus are more quality controlled
Where i found @ruby island
?
ok so in game on the main menu in the top right what does it say
Pera aí
ok change your dns by following this https://discordapp.com/channels/203512636556574720/551236268004999168/551238446379696130
i recommend 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1 but googles is fine
also make sure you select the correct adaptor and once you are dont run ipconfig /flushdns in a command prompt
yea you are right thecuz1, integrated gpu dont burn out
but they have better cooling i think
well since its a igpu its on the same chip as the cpu so likely if you burned out a igpu then you probably would have done the same to the cpu
and i trust intels quality control over the laptops manufactures
every laptop i have owned has had a issue
both asus and acer
agreed
i had a acer laptop that had to be replaced 7 times
on warranty
as well as a asus laptop that from what i could tell the motherboard is fucked and does not tell the fan to turn on so i had to pull the pwn wire to make it run at 100% all the time
as well as a few other issues with it
and i cant confirm this but looks like something that hp does with their laptops causes problems with foxhole
not enough accounts to pin it on hp but looks like it is
so i dont trust laptop manufactures
kinda dig fujitsu, actually
but typical laptop problems you cant get away from with that kind of compact nature
i think its just the sheer lack of quality control with them
they bang out like 50 models a year
as how tf do you not notice the fucking cpu fan not working
like thats a problem that should have been noticed instantly
hell i would rather walmarts brand laptop over asus hp or acer
Won't let me log in after using DevBranch switched to correct Foxhole version and even after a reinstall does not work What am I missing?
restart steam?
yeet
@ruby island dont work
to confirm that you have changed the correct adaptor open up command prompt and type nslookup google.com it should say just below the command the server address you changed it to
Cant load profile, any known fixes?
also am not being able to load my profile.
its tuesday. steam maintenance day.
How to remove bunker mods?
Hello, my game is crashing after like 10 minutes idk why, i still continue to hear people talk but i cant do anything and have to restart
( i am on ubuntu 19.10, the game work and do the same thing with and without proton )
@wind minnow what gpu do you have
if its nvidia make sure you have download the drivers from the repos rather then the site as nvidias installer can break things
make sure to install all wine dsependencies https://github.com/lutris/lutris/wiki/Wine-Dependencies
here is the proper installation for any gpu https://github.com/lutris/lutris/wiki/Installing-drivers
if you have already used the .run script from nvidias site then unfortunately you will probably need to reinstall to fully clear up what the script did
also play around with the proton version a bit as some can work better then others and try out these custom versions of proton as they can sometimes perform way better then the stock one by valve https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/proton-ge-custom/releases
also use gamemode for better performance https://github.com/FeralInteractive/gamemode
how can i solve this problem? i restarted game more than 10 times
@harsh bane still have the issue?
yup
its a server issue everyone has it
but my friend who played with me used vc very well
options > voice > reconnect most likely will work for a few minutes then stop
had that issue before
yeah....
thanks i will try all of these @ruby island
in the top left corner there is just code text and stuff
idk what this mean tho
oooo nvm this has to do with Discord nvm
I don't know if I should post here or in bug report, so I apologise if I get it wrong. The thing is that when playing on my laptop after 5-10 minutes in game I stop getting any sound whatsoever and I don't know the reason why, since I don't get this problem with my desktop. Any ideas on why is this happening?
Voice chat keeps dying and the only way to fix it is reboot the whole game. I was told to come here
Oh and the reconnect button never fixes it
When i join voice channels, the game audio disappears and is replaced with the voice chat.
My one friend cant leave a squad
@odd otter thats a common issue you must get the leader to kick them
ok
is anyone else getting a content servers unavailable error when trying to update the game?
Anyone getting that it can’t find my profile?
WTF?
Guys had to download a fresh copy of Foxhole and got this message at the top: PhysX CPU. What is it and what does it mean???
you should probably install the nvidia physics driver
youre probably using the CPU instead of the GPU for physics
yo try not to reveal intel in your screen shots
I have nVidia why has this come up this time
does foxhole even use physx
just because it says that doesnt mean it uses it
could just be a driver overlay thing
also just set it to gpu in the driver settings @dull vigil
i assume he just doesnt have physx installed, its a separate component to the video driver
well foxhole doesnt use it as i just uninstalled physx from my system and started the game and steam didnt reinstall it
interesting
good test
games that require it will install it on launch
because i have a amd gpu and never installed it so it was there from a game
yes but if physics stuff is done with nvidias physx that the only way you can actually play that game it becomes a dependency its just a nvidia technology so only their gpus can actually run the code so it resorts to software or cpu based rendering for a non nvidia gpu
maybe its just done on CPU for amd cards that are older
but it wouldnt warn you because you have no other option
any gpu that doesnt support physx
but his card does support phys-x
it switches to software
maybe thats why he sees it
if the driver is set to auto within nvidias software and the gpu is at 100% it will resort to software to take some load off the gpu
🤔
but it doesnt matter in foxhole as i removed the driver completely and started foxhole fine
so my computer is not capable of even running the code
meaning that foxhole doesnt use physx
i can only imagine UE4 uses phys-x when available
from what i can tell you must manually import the code yourself https://wiki.unrealengine.com/PhysX,_Integrating_PhysX_Code_into_Your_Project
or maybe not
ya looks like it up do the devs to use physx
ue4 doesnt use it by default
i dont think foxhole out of all games foxhole needs physx
what even physics would you need to render
you gonna tell me that stuff in foxhole breaks like this https://youtu.be/fDKMYTn8DEE
NVIDIA PhysX Lab is used to generate a partially destructible brick wall with an indestructible back so that game play doesnt change. The front of the brick wall is fully destructible. PhysX Lab is used to simulate the destruction in the playground. This is followed by an in-...
that would be pretty cool if it did tho
also looks like games that use physx dont even support gpu rendering anymore as the software rendering is so good
oh. ok
well idk why it didnt install the driver maybe the driver is just for gpu rendering
ya looking into the files for foxhole actually shows that all physx needs is vs2015 meaning they are on software rendering
vs2015? visual studio?
yup looks like the cpu variant of physx just requires visual studio 2015
to program it?
well ya to tap into the engine you require vs2015 and these dlls
Anyone is playing foxhole on linux ?
yes it run, but after some minutes of playing at 60 fps my get totaly freez
i tried what you told me before but none worked
do you have a nvidia gpu?
but have you run the .run script from nvidias site?
no i installed it with ppa
so you havent ran that at all
no
i had to get the drivers from nvidia directly to play on linux
but i was on 18.10.02 ubuntu, i think, with a 750ti
couldnt find anything compatible in the PPAs
ah shit
but mine crashed right away, i couldnt even get 10 minutes out of it before getting the driver right
i am on ubuntu 19.10 ( kubuntu de ) with a titan black from 700 series
