ruby island
#

i never recommend the .run script

#

it can swrew stuff up

#

always dfownload through package manager

wind minnow
#

yes

#

@blissful sequoia and now it work for you ?

blissful sequoia
#

yah i use proton and the drivers downloaded from nvidia

wind minnow
#

so i think im gonna try too

ruby island
#

can you enable dxvk hud

wind minnow
#

in steam launch option ?

ruby island
#

yes

blissful sequoia
#

my video card on my linux machine is old, so that might be why i had to

wind minnow
#

yea i already do that

#

DXVK_HUD=fps %command%

ruby island
#

do -DXVK_HUD=full

wind minnow
#

i think im gonna try from nvidia too so

ruby island
#

not just fps full

wind minnow
#

ooh

#

ok !

ruby island
#

dont use the .run

wind minnow
#

so i just tape DXVK_HUD=full ?

ruby island
#

if something goes wrong you will need a complete reinstall

#

ya

wind minnow
#

yeah but im deseperate x)

#

ok i try it !!! thanks

ruby island
#

can you send a ss of the full hud as well

wind minnow
#

in game or in the menu ?

ruby island
#

doesnt matter it will display mostly the same info

wind minnow
#

but nothing change ( and i do not have fps display too )

#

maybe i have to add the %command% ?

ruby island
#

well then you didnt do it right

wind minnow
#

at the end of the launch option

#

hmmm..

ruby island
#

yes you do

wind minnow
#

aaah XD

ruby island
#

in all it should be DXVK_HUD=full %command%

wind minnow
#

idk why the screenshot is black, but it work fine on my screen

ruby island
#

foxhole always go black till everything is loaded

#

also you are not using the ge version of proton

wind minnow
#

i tried with, but i got the same issue

ruby island
#

have you tried 4.20 proton version as well

#

5.0 introduced lots of problems

wind minnow
#

yeah i tried sadfullly

ruby island
#

mostly fixed in later versions but maybe there are some not fixed or known

wind minnow
#

i tried proton ge and all other versions

ruby island
#

hmmmm

#

are you running this from a ntfs formatted partition @wind minnow

wind minnow
#

i am on a ext4 partition

ruby island
#

hmmmm have you tried validating the game

wind minnow
#

yes like 100 times x)

ruby island
#

with the full hud you can see when sharders are compiling in the bottom right make sure that stops when you go to play

#

load into the deployment area and make sure before you deploy there are no shaders compiling

wind minnow
#

ok im gonna try to see that

ruby island
#

it could also be ubuntu 19.10 as its the latest version and could have issues i know for sure arch works for the game

wind minnow
#

yeh sadfully, but i sawed people played it fine in this version, it's for that i stil hope

ruby island
#

i dont really like ubuntu especially for gaming as its not set up for gaming

blissful sequoia
#

which distro is good for it?

wind minnow
#

yes

blissful sequoia
#

oh arch?

ruby island
#

no not for the normal person

#

there is one that i forget

#

that is based off of ubuntu

#

popos

#

thats it

#

thats is completely plug and play for gamers

wind minnow
#

oh yeah

#

so im gonna try it

ruby island
#

that has all the dependencys for nvidia and comes with everything needed to run a game

#

it has 2 downloads just for amd and nvidia

#

but again it could be a package from 19.10 ubuntu thats causing it

#

meaning that if you use 19.10 popos you could run into the same issue

wind minnow
#

yeah xD

wind minnow
#

ok so i switched to my gtx 960 and effectively, no more crash. So i think it was beaucause the titan black is too older @ruby island @blissful sequoia

blissful sequoia
#

if the game loads it shouldnt be too old

#

if the card is too old it will complain it needs dx 11 support, but i had to use the nvidia distributed drivers because the open source ones didnt work for my old 750TI and the PPA ones weren't compatible with the distro i had

ruby island
#

there are no open source drives for nvidia

blissful sequoia
#

nouveau?

ruby island
#

what you download from the package manager is nvidias drivers but installed correctly

blissful sequoia
#

yah theres open source drivers for nvidia, what do you mean there isnt?

ruby island
#

no there is none currently

blissful sequoia
#

yes there is

ruby island
#

thats literally just a mesa package

#

that adds the dri

blissful sequoia
#

the nouveau driver is not the nvidia driver

#

anyway i believe the newest video cards are supported in nouveau to probably work in foxhole with proton, but older cards for sure need the proprietary drivers

#

"nouveau (/nuːˈvoʊ/) is a free and open-source graphics device driver for Nvidia video cards and the Tegra family of SoCs written by independent software engineers, with minor help from Nvidia employees."

#

its the default nvidia driver on ubuntu

ruby island
#

there is no installing the nouveau drivers they are in the kernel

blissful sequoia
#

well that is most drivers in linux

ruby island
#

that driver has lots of issues

blissful sequoia
#

it sure does

ruby island
#

you need to use nvidias crap

blissful sequoia
#

i wouldnt recommend using it for gaming

#

but you can get away with it for newer cards

ruby island
#

in order to fully switch you need to blacklist the module and tell xorg to use nvidia

blissful sequoia
#

some linux foxhole players recommended it to me but it was not an option for my old card

#

the ppa and the installer will make sure nouveau doesnt activate

ruby island
#

i dont think so

blissful sequoia
#

but you have amd?

ruby island
blissful sequoia
#

i have done it many times

ruby island
#

that shows what the driver is capable of using

blissful sequoia
#

im not telling him to use that driver

Ok so, I seem to have gotten completely disconnected from voice chat server. I can no longer hear anyone or talk to anyone over voice. rebooting the game did not solve the issue. I can still chat with other people over message box, and all other aspects of game are working fine. I see no error when pressing the voice chat button (both local and squad) but i don't see the speaker icon, when i talk. Also i don't see speaker icon when other people are talking(they just tell me in message that they are talking. I also visited a busy frontline to make sure they weren't messing with me. but no, total voice chat silence, just sound of guns, kinda creepy) The last thing i remember before becoming disconnected from voice chat is panic pressing a few buttons on keyboard trying to squad chat. from that point i can't hear or talk to anyone over voice. (I tested my mic and speakers, they are all working fine, changing mic and speaker didn't change anything)

#

what do i do?

ruby island
#

@hybrid kayak what happens when you press the reconnect button in options

hybrid kayak
#

@ruby island it just gives the reconnecting message and the after a while it go back to become same as before with no voice chat. Immditly after trying to reconnect it will give the error(8) if I press chat button but that goes away after a while, which I assume is normal since that's how I have seen it behave before as wll

ruby island
#

error 8 usually is caused by a dns issue

#

follow that

deep drum
#

hey guys, I have an issue, when i start the game it starts for about 10 secounds with a black screen and then it closes itself, i tied reinstalling, as well but without luck. what should i do? Im on Intel i7-1065G7

deep drum
#

i tried changing config as the tutorial shows

inner basin
#

@terse flume You're having problems with voice chat?

terse flume
#

yeah

inner basin
#

@deep drum Agh, I really hate that problem mate. I tried helping someone out with the same issue for hours but I couldn't find a solution. Could you post your game log files? They can be found in C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Foxhole\Saved\Logs

#

@terse flume Could you describe the issue more? Are you getting any voice chat error messages? They pop up in the chat box

deep drum
#

i just posted my log

inner basin
#

Can you try launching it two more times and posting both logs?

deep drum
#

sure

terse flume
#

I'm not getting any error messages

inner basin
#

Are you having issues hearing people or speaking to people, or both?

terse flume
#

and I can´t hear and talk

inner basin
#

When you press the push-to-talk button, T, do you see a speaker icon above your soldier body?

terse flume
#

nop

#

adn g too

inner basin
#

Can you try to switch your DNS then? Let me find the steps

terse flume
#

ok

terse flume
#

@inner basin I recently installed the soundpad, it has something to do with this error?

#

now i uninstalled it

inner basin
#

err perhaps

#

You might have to configure your sound settings

terse flume
#

aham

inner basin
#

I know that sometimes Foxhole won't recognize my mic unless I force it to in the Voice settings

terse flume
#

how do I set the default windows options?

inner basin
#

Go to your sound options

#

Tell me what you have in the Recording tab

terse flume
#

my mic speakers

inner basin
#

Can you take a screenshot I don't know what that means

terse flume
#

my headset microphone

inner basin
#

@deep drum I was looking at two people's logs who had the same problem, I thought I saw a commonality but it was a false lead

terse flume
#

@inner basin I do not know how to take screenshot on windows

inner basin
#

Press Windows Key + Shift + S then drag a rectangle around the area to screenshot

terse flume
#

and u will have to use google tranlator

#

cus I´m from Brazil

deep drum
#

its interesting, i hoped i can see more logs or some errors, maybe there is an issue with communication with steam?

terse flume
inner basin
#

@terse flume ok ok now go into Foxhole voice settings

terse flume
#

ok

#

1 min

inner basin
#

Click the Output device dropbox

#

@deep drum Do you want to see those other logs?

deep drum
#

sure

inner basin
#

Maybe you can catch something I didn't

terse flume
#

@inner basin ok

#

I´m in

#

the output device

inner basin
#

Sorry, input device

#

I'll be back in 10 minutes my friend

terse flume
#

ok

#

it says USB microphone PnP sound device

inner basin
#

@terse flume Can you unplug then replug your mic?

#

Then tell me what Windows says is plugged in

terse flume
#

ok

#

ohhhhh yes

#

I can talk right now

#

@inner basin thank you for the help!

inner basin
#

oh 😄

#

You are most welcome

Hey, so ive been having connection issues. It says i lose connection to host while in the home region and i have no ability to deploy. Ive attempted the troubleshooting steps pinned above. I recently moved and have a different provider but a few updates ago in this apartment i was able to connect fine but now I cant. Any suggestions?

radiant quarry
#

Hey when i enter to game i dont see player on list and i cant deploy

#

Why?

terse flume
terse flume
#

SOLVED

austere galleon
#

@blissful sequoia help

austere galleon
#

Can someone help me with my modem qqqqqq

terse flume
#

This is probably something I misunderstood in technical but it's been happening to me ever since I came back to Foxhole, wasn't a problem for me in war 1 & 2 but when I came back for the previous war, I noticed that either when I just joined or moved to another province that I couldn't use my voice chat and that other player's voice chat would become spotty and cut out, sometimes if would be fixed simply over time or if I died but I've noticed now after a considerable amount of time in a new province that the problem persists, if someone could help me out it would be appreciated

faint light
#

If anyone could help me fix my voice chat? I've tried disabling SIP ALG, but it only disabled SIP TCP ALG and not SIP TCP ALG, I am unable to hear other players or speak myself. I'm not getting any in game error messages.

ruby island
#

@faint light do you see any voice icons above peoples head or your own when you press and talk

terse flume
#

Does it say connected to the voice chat when you spawn in deployement area?

#

In the chat

faint light
#

I dont see any icons

#

and it does say connected to voice chat @terse flume

#

@ruby island

terse flume
#

Do you have a decent connection to internet?

faint light
#

Yeah I do

terse flume
#

Is your headset working properly?

faint light
#

yes

terse flume
#

Then thats above me man

#

Sorry

faint light
#

Its good, thanks for trying atleast

ruby island
#

well if you dont see the voice icon when talking and holding down the mic button assuming your mic is working and you are talking loud enough to overcome the level cut off then you are probably not actually connected to the server or vivox files are screwed up

#

try that

#

thats what the steps detail

#

that will make sure vivox isnt fucked

#

which most the time is the problem

blissful sequoia
#

sip alg is red herring. the game uses https (or other encryption) to connect to vivox, so its encrypted, so sip alg is never used

#

is your audio bluetooth? also - i suspect voicemeeter will work, although its not an ideal solution

ruby island
#

and how do you know this

#

imma pull up wire shark and see what it uses

faint light
#

alright time to do viviox files

#

see if this works

ruby island
#

probably 90% sure that will fix your issue

faint light
#

if not maybe its the cutoff

ruby island
#

doesnt explain why you cant hear others

#

unless they are not talking

faint light
#

no I can see their voice chat icon

#

but no audio, but when I PTT no icon comes up

ruby island
#

you just said you couldnt tho

faint light
#

it wasnt working a fat minute ago

ruby island
#

i asked if you can see any voice chat icons above peoples heads

faint light
#

now I can see their icons

ruby island
#

hmmmm

#

make sure your default device and defatlt communication device is the same

#

in windows ssound settings

faint light
#

yeah I have all the other disabled but i'll check

#

alright validating files

ruby island
#

@blissful sequoia from what i can tell it uses classic stun and unencrypted udp packets to send the data which means sip alg is directly involved

blissful sequoia
#

in all the debugging weve helped people with on vivox, never once has it been the sip alg here

#

if you see connected, then its connected, its a mic interface problem

ruby island
#

no tls

#

well that means that sip alg is no longer being implemented wrong or bad

blissful sequoia
#

its old irrelevant tech anyway

ruby island
#

as most the consumer routers had a bad implantation of sip alg

#

well not really its designed for security

#

and still used

blissful sequoia
#

i thought it was for routing

#

to traverse nat-t

ruby island
#

no its not

blissful sequoia
#

anyway i dont know why its a pinned message, its never been an issue to my knowledge

ruby island
#

its designed to protect the people behind a firewall

faint light
#

Just tried to work it

#

and it didnt work

ruby island
#

did you make sure that you only have 1 enabled device and set both as your default and default communication device

blissful sequoia
#

if you feel like it you can try voicemeeter, itll get you voice and sound and prove that its not your network

faint light
#

yes only one device for communication and one device for default

#

one mic and one headset

ruby island
#

is that headset bluetooth

faint light
#

wired

ruby island
faint light
#

alright will do

#

done

#

still nothing

blissful sequoia
#

oooh thecuz rockin a yeti

ruby island
#

yeet

#

well if you see the voice icon that means you are receiving the data to your pc

#

most likely you can blame vivox

faint light
#

vivox dumb

ruby island
#

you can try a reinstall

faint light
#

last ditch

#

lets do this

blissful sequoia
#

voicemeeter

ruby island
#

if they can hear the game then there is no reason they shouldnt be able to hear voice

#

assuming communication and default are the same

blissful sequoia
#

your problem, thecuz, is you come from a place of reason

#

foxhole the game is a realm of magic

#

if you can hear game, and you see vivox connect, (and mic works in any other program) then voicemeeter will work.

#

i petitioned hard to get a pinned message about it

#

some might even say obnoxiously

ruby island
#

well i have yet to see this magic computers are deterministic

blissful sequoia
#

he has the classic problem

#

i think also possible his mic gain is way down and other programs compensate

terse flume
#

This is probably something I misunderstood in technical but it's been happening to me ever since I came back to Foxhole, wasn't a problem for me in war 1 & 2 but when I came back for the previous war, I noticed that either when I just joined or moved to another province that I couldn't use my voice chat and that other player's voice chat would become spotty and cut out, sometimes if would be fixed simply over time or if I died but I've noticed now after a considerable amount of time in a new province that the problem persists, if someone could help me out it would be appreciated

blissful sequoia
#

i have heard disabling the sound device and re-enabling it in device manager can fix this, evan. but nobody has ever gotten back to me to confirm it

terse flume
#

I see, well I can go check in a little bit

blissful sequoia
#

also voicemeeter fixes the choppy voice bug if nothing else can

terse flume
#

(I was NOT muted or reported for anything) I can no longer speak in chat. Local or otherwise.

#

one second it was working the next I could no longer speak at all

#

I can still connect to the voice server and hear others talk but I cant use any form of chat

#

I wasn't muted or anything i got no notification if i was

#

One second I could use chat now i cant

#

i tried reinstalling using different wifi etc

#

....

#

my chat language was set to CHINESE

#

case closed

olive shadow
#

Can't hear anyone in my Squad Voice chat or Local voice

#

relog and reconnect to chats did not work

#

nothing disabled steam side

primal basalt
#

Hey guys! so i've had disconnection when i join maps and when i travel to another map i know changing DNS is a solution but what dns do i change to? Google DNS OpenDNS, ...

#

@blissful sequoia

blissful sequoia
#

8.8.8.8/8.8.4.4 or 1.1.1.1

#

opendns/google dns both fine. some people dont want google tracking their DNS lookups

#

frankly if it solves your problem you can always switch it later if you want to change it

primal basalt
#

ok

blissful sequoia
#

before you test its best to run ipconfig /flushdns in a command line prompt to flush the local dns cache

primal basalt
#

where do i do that?

blissful sequoia
#

start -> run

primal basalt
#

by start you mean the Windows key?

#

@blissful sequoia

blissful sequoia
#

yes

#

or you can do start -> "cmd" to get the command prompt program

#

you know the black console window?

primal basalt
#

yup

#

my resarch and windows key aren't working anymore -_-

#

wtf is happening

blissful sequoia
#

cant you just click the start button in the bottom left? or wherever you have it?

primal basalt
#

doesn't open when i click

blissful sequoia
#

hmm alt+tab and close the windows or hit OK on them

#

maybe something is still open

primal basalt
#

you mean close all my programs?

blissful sequoia
#

well its probably the windows explorer ones

#

so particularly the network settings you might have had open

#

or you can just find a way to force restart

#

if you have that command prompt still open you can just do shutdown -r

primal basalt
#

well if i can't acces the console i can't do that

blissful sequoia
#

uhh press the power button on the computer i guess

#

any way you know how to force restart it should be fine

pallid wolf
#

ctrl shift escape opens task manager, for future reference

#

from task manager, File - run new task lets you run a new task

#

cmd.exe is command prompt

ruby island
#

or just win + r for run prompt

#

and just cmd works

blissful sequoia
#

im having a tough time with DNS tonight. im wondering if there isnt some sort of weird dns outage going on

#

considering the 2 people irked by it today in here

#

not specific to foxhole, I mean.

azure orchid
#

Good evening everyone, photo is blurry and i'm sorry but.. i've met this for the first time

sly anvil
#

@azure orchid is this new? New Computer? New updates? What, if anything, has changed?

azure orchid
#

@sly anvil , nope, my good ol computer that ran the game just fine without any problems beforehand. I think it got messy after the last update

#

For the record, those flickering stop when I lower or decrease my PC sound because the bar pops up. It's apparently linked

Works also with the screen luminosity bar

sly anvil
#

That's really rather peculiar 🤔

#

what is this and why does it keep killing my game when I'm driving trucks close to borders?

blissful sequoia
#

would recommend updating video drivers and verifying game files

ruby island
#

make sure your gpu isnt overheating

proud dagger
#

@azure orchid thank you for the new collection

azure orchid
#

Gonna try updating, I think my GPU is fine though but aye, gonna try that indeed

azure orchid
#

Problem solved in the end!! It effectively was a driver problem

azure orchid
#

@proud dagger , did it make a fine addition?

Please get the ref

proud dagger
#

Yes a fine addition to collection

azure orchid
#

Cheers

proud dagger
azure orchid
#

But hey, I solved it

#

Needed to update the drivers though

proud dagger
#

were u trying to run it on a Mac?

azure orchid
#

Nope, it's my good ol HP notebook

#

Which is pure trash

eternal thunder
#

I’ve tried exiting the game a couple times and coming back but that’s not working

ruby island
#

whats not working

blissful sequoia
#

failed to download steam profile

#

youve got to restart steam, not foxhole

lost pilot
#

Hi, first time here but im stuck in a squad that doesnt exist and the exit squad button isnt working and its been like this for a few days and I dont know what to do

#

I tried contacting a dev and they told me to come here

blissful sequoia
#

ive heard squads can have that bug and you have to be kicked by the owner

lost pilot
#

I am the owner

blissful sequoia
#

perhaps you can get someone to invite you to another squad, maybe youd be able to join it

lost pilot
#

Of the squad

#

I cant join another squad

blissful sequoia
#

maybe you could invite someone else, promote them and get them to kick you

lost pilot
#

I cant invite anybody either

#

I tried that

#

No buttons work

blissful sequoia
#

consider a @coarse trail as the mods might have seen this problem before, maybe they know a solution

lost pilot
#

I tried that

#

Hey told me to come here

blissful sequoia
#

i cant imagine why

#

might be an issue with connecting to voice chat, also

lost pilot
#

What do I try?

#

Ive done everything...

blissful sequoia
#

sorry i dunno, this room isnt particularly helpful

#

keep spamming world team chat until you find somebody who knows a solution i guess. or until a mod can try some stuff on you

#

maybe you can get them to faction swap you twice

lost pilot
#

I recontacted mod mail and told them that I did what they asked and yall told me to contact mod mail. Im assuming I have a unique issue

blissful sequoia
#

its not unique but its rare

lost pilot
#

How did I even get this I just wanted to make an operation

#

How did this get resolved the last time it happened to someone?

blissful sequoia
#

i dont know

#

i suspect sometimes it thinks people are offline

#

i suspect a connection issue, maybe related to squad voice chat

#

just speculation though

azure orchid
#

Hey again, anyone met the "Connection times out" while trying to deploy in the game? It's odd

formal lance
#

I get them all the time, I don’t think anyone knows why it happens besides a band with issue one foxhole server side; it’s talked about a lot in game.

#

I get them while deploying from home region and during map crossing

ruby island
#

maybe a dns issue

#

try changing your dns servers to googles or cloud flares

#

if that doesnt work its probably on foxholes side as i recently have been getting weird issues with connection to the servers

blissful sequoia
#

ive been having trouble lately with half the internet too

#

but make sure youre not on devbranch, that youre on live

terse flume
#

Please ping me, but does anyone know how much data foxhole consumes per hour? I’m running on a limited data cap for the time being

sly mortar
#

@terse flume I can't give you an exact number as it's dependent on how many other players there are etc., but it's pretty low.

vale lynx

voice chat error [B] 6-0 what is it?

proud dagger
#

@vale lynx look at pinned messages

#

and scroll through it

#

if you tried those solutions and still does not work , ask here again

Fixing issues with Voice Chat, DNS related
What is DNS?
DNS is Domain Name System, it is used to resolve Domain Names to their respective location or IP address.
Why would DNS be the issue?
DNS is used when services like VoIP are trying to resolve where to send the audio traffic and where to recieve audio traffic from. Certain DNS providers and ISPs have the incorrect information where to send traffic, causing Error Codes in game such as [8]-6.
How do i fix this?
Following this article: https://gadgets.ndtv.com/internet/features/how-to-change-dns-server-on-windows-7-8-windows-10-and-macos-1669869
Add 8.8.8.8 as the primary and 8.8.4.4 as the secondary(Google DNS). If you'd prefer to use a different one than google, use 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220 (OPEN DNS)
If you need more assistance please ping the tech wizards role!

(not sure if I should instead submit this in #bug-reports??)
Hey guys, have been having issues with traveling between regions. The game will crash (managed get hold of an error message, see screenshot below) when I'm traveling between borders (ik they just fixed something to do with this but it still happens to me), and it will also crash when I go back to the home region and try to deploy in another region.

ruby island
#

@obsidian nebula update your gpu drivers

#

also if you have nvidia make sure your gpu isnt overheating as nvidia tends to have the lost device when over heating

#

or overclocked

obsidian nebula
#

OK, thanks

Yep

So how do I put the game on my second screen?

#

Nvm, got it

#

I'm unable to hear any voice chat (it is not giving an error), I've tried the DNS fix, made sure all windows settings are correct, ran the game in admin mode, removed the files that were mentioned in technical read first, restarted steam, restarted pc and completely reinstalled the game, yet it isn't fixed (normal game audio is fine though)

#

its not disneyland, they cant replay it

#

start recording your game play and then delete stuff you dont want

fathom gale
#

ya.....my laptop go HOT like hell ahaha ty anyway 😉

ruby island
#

nvidia and amd have replay software that will retain footage from a set amount of time essentially always recording but not actually saving it till you press a key combination

#

i dont think intel has anything like that tho

river grove
#

uh...any fix for the lag/stutter on the frontline/certain parts of the map?

since 0.26 the stutter hasnt stopped yet, already playing on low graphics and lowering resolutions doesnt help :/

@spare pilot @wild citrus You guys still need help?

hushed plover
#

I get this thing where the game pauses, then a few seconds later resumes and I've crashed into a fence. Like while I'm paised I take my hand off w, but it still keeps moving for as long as the leg spike occurs

blissful sequoia
#

we all get that

#

we have learned to live with it

#

it happens around the edges of the map

ruby island
#

Yes it's quite annoying

neon pond
#

Ok so I cant speak in game

#

I know my mic works

#

yet I cant seem to speak at all inside the game itself

ruby island
#

@neon pond can you hear others to confirm voice chat files are not fucked

neon pond
#

I can hear yes

#

yet I cant speak

ruby island
#

Click the cog wheel on the chat

#

And make sure English is set

neon pond
#

how does the english language affect me speaking in game

ruby island
#

It could be a cause ig

neon pond
#

does it somehow pick up my voice

ruby island
#

Make sure you are speaking loud enough as the game has a cut off

neon pond
#

I am

#

I tried screaming into the mic

#

I know this is also the case for Rainbow Six, I cant speak in game. yet I can speak in discord

ruby island
#

Go to voice settings in windows and make sure you mic is default communication device and default device

#

You will have to dig into control panel

#

Not windows settings bullshit

neon pond
#

Control Panel? you mean Nividia

ruby island
#

No I mean control panel

#

Has nothing to do with nvidia

neon pond
#

this?

ruby island
#

Yes

#

Go to hardware and sound

neon pond
#

check

#

im on my mic

ruby island
#

Go to recording tab and set default

#

For your mic

neon pond
#

I dont see a recording tab

ruby island
#

Can you screen shot

neon pond
ruby island
#

Ah well that's not the right settings

inner basin
#

You must be thinking of Sound Options > Recording

#

Right click the speaker icon on your taskbar

ruby island
#

I hate windows 10

inner basin
ruby island
#

I think that's it

#

Then you have to find he advanced settings

#

That takes you to another window

neon pond
#

I just did a troubleshooting thing and it says its not plugged in even though it is

ruby island
#

Just go to where blade said

neon pond
#

ok weirsd

ruby island
#

Then find the advanced settings

neon pond
#

weird it was there, now its not

#

also would driver updates/windows updates affect it

ruby island
#

Probably not

#

Again can you go to where blade said

neon pond
#

I cant

#

its gone

ruby island
#

There is no sound icon?

neon pond
#

wait fuck

ruby island
#

Yes right click the speaker with waves

neon pond
#

sorry brain fart,

ruby island
#

Open sound settings

#

Find the advanced settings

neon pond
#

done

ruby island
#

Windows is just loads of menues where you want to go

inner basin
#

"waves"

ruby island
#

Yes they are waves

#

Click the recording tab

neon pond
ruby island
#

Nope

#

It would be a control panel looking window

neon pond
ruby island
#

Ah go to manage sound devices

neon pond
#

done

ruby island
#

God dammit

#

Did windows replace it

neon pond
#

😅

ruby island
#

Don't tell me windows replaced the only useful window for sound

#

Well I don't understand that metro crap

#

So th could mean default

#

Idk you need to find a window that lists all devices that has playback and recording tabs

neon pond
#

lol well thank you anyways, I also think I may have found the issue

#

My computer was setting every mic to a voice mod app I have which is now deleted, so I switched it over and it works now

#

seems to anyways

ruby island
#

Well then the default device was fucked exactly what I thought

#

But windows doesn't make it easy or intuitive to change a simple thing like default device

neon pond
#

yea it likes to make everything over complicated so people think its 'in depth'

ruby island
#

Na they try to simplify it using the settings app that they created

#

But it doesn't work as it doesn't let you do anything

#

You have to use the only settings that work the control panel

inner basin
#

um

#

@neon pond

#

go to sound control panel

#

Also @ruby island for future reference

ruby island
#

That's it

inner basin
#

Right click Speaker icon in taskbar > Open Sound settings > Sound Control Panel

ruby island
#

This is why I hate windows

inner basin
#

yeah it wasn't like that before

#

:(

ruby island
#

Before it just went directly to the sound control panel

#

But no they had to make it go through a overly simplified useless metro settings app

#

I bet 90% of people that click sound settings just use that to go to the sound control panel

ok i decided to rebuy this game again and see if the issue was fixed

#

i refunded it back in october because whenever i opened the game i would just get black screen for a few seconds then crash

#

while if i disable my wifi it boots to the main menu but i get something about shared download

#

and to play i would have to click refresh and thats when it would crash

#

this still happens

any idea why

Not sure if I'm posting in the right area or following the rules correctly. But I've been trying to change my game video resolution, and it's not changing. I've tried both in game and main menu screen. I'm playing on a 55' t.v.. so I don't know if that is causing the problem

terse arrow
#

you can change the resolution?

teal osprey
#

No, I've tried several different ones but don't see any difference

I figured it out. Had to switch from "windowed fullscreen" to just "full screen"

warm crown
#

can someone help me

sharp kestrel
#

Probably someone.

ruby island
#

@warm crown ah well this same issue has been happening to a few different laptops mainly hp

#

i have not figured out how to fix the wifi problem yet

#

best thing you can do is zip up your crash logs and send them to clapfoot

as i am pretty sure they are the only ones that can fix the issue

Whenever I go near water, that being rivers, or the many lake beds, my game lags. Suddenly my frames begin dropping similar to border lag effect, and my client gets confused as to where I am vs. where I actually am. My graphics are all on low, is there any other way to mitigate this?

im always having problems travelling between regions

#

sometimes i can cross them just fine

#

but if i need to spawn in another region i always have to go back to the main menu and then get a lost connection to server error when trying to deploy

#

i need to keep trying until it works but this take 5 to 10 mins

#

then i loose my spawn

actually now i cant get back in

#

after restarting game and steam it just gives me the lost connection to server

@chrome gatehqve you tried restarting steam

plenty of times

#

what about setting the max pings/minute in steam settings to 5000

its already on 5000

i keep getting this menssage everytime i deploy in the game "The UE4-War Game has crashed and will close"

"fatal error: [fileUnkown] [Line: 200]

"Unreal Engine is due to D3D device being lost"

#

error 0x887

drifting hatch
#

Do I report fatal engine errors here or just in bug report cause I assume it's not just a bug

#

Oh shit that's the same message I was getting about but with different 0x code

#

@chrome gate your steam needs an update

chrome gate
#

it got updated yesterday, was still getting the same thing afterwards

ruby island
#

@drifting hatch if you have a amd card update past 20.1.1

The game is randomly crashing with just a message saying "Fatal Error!"

#

Does anyone know how to fix?

#

Im having an issue with chat I dont see what I type but can see normal chat and have no idea what's up, restarted game and everything.

inner basin
#

@slender gust Do you have an AMD graphics card?

#

@cloud vigil Please check your chat settings. On the top right of the chat box is a settings icon, click that. Make sure all languages are checked off!

cloud vigil
#

thanks apparently I was on Chinese

inner basin
#

👍

#

dunno why it changes sometimes

#

@drifting hatch Fatal errors can be caused by a variety of reasons. If it's due to "D3D device being lost" it is most likely due to your graphics card.

ruby island
#

Generally from what I have seen d3d device lost happens on Nvidia cards if they are over heating or overclocked could also be the driver

drifting hatch
#

I'm 100% having issues at all refineries as well. Not sure if it's my processor or the server. The refinery glitch makes the game laggy as fuck near them. Same with borders

ruby island
#

that would have nothing to do with hardware especially your processer but there are known issues near borders affecting everyone

#

never heard of any issue with the refinery

#

also depends on the type of lag

#

if its fps lag then its most likely just something to do with the game that everyone has issues with but you can try and update your gpu drivers

#

if its network lag then that would be either your internet or just general server lag

#

most likely general server lag as everyone has issues with that

weary patio
#

The servers are in pain since last update ...

keen trout
#

What's wrong with the servers, can't deploy?

inner basin
#

They've been fixed since two hours ago

drifting hatch
#

I just get a 1 second lag when I pull up to all logi hubs. I'm convinced it's the refinery loading all the glitches queues

inner basin
#

that doesn't even make sense from an efficient server model point of view

#

why should it load everyone else's queues for you?

#

On top of that the client fetches your refinery queues from the server when you actually interact with the refinery. It'd be a waste of network resources if it loaded the queues for you when you enter the logi city but you leave without ever interacting with the Refinery.

drifting hatch
#

The lag happens when I pull up near the refinery like 10-20m away

#

Any refinery at any city even if I dont have a queue

#

But not factories

#

But it only happens once as long as I stay in the region.

inner basin
#

Strange, can you file a bug report then?

rancid bluff
#

I play as Warden and when i first interact with a Refinery its marked with Collie banner on the roof. After maybe 10-15 sec it changes back to Warden colors.

i reinstalled the game and restarted my pc but it still does not work

and it says connected to local voice chat

Mine as well seems to be borked. No error messages or anything, it says Im connected yet I clearly cannot hear anyone speaking, even if the icon is above their head.

#

Worked just fine 24 hours ago, no technical changes or PC updates since then from what I know

ebon moss
#

thats exactly what im getting

#

i can see icons but i cant hear or talk

I have also seen in-game messages suggesting others struggle with it as well

i reinstalled vivox which fixed it

mine fixed automatically

It says all maps are going to be open next war which obviously a bug seeing as we don’t have the player base for it and it will be a dead pve war that won’t be fun for those not playing and those who have to pve. Please fix as there is multiple hours before last decision of final map so please make the right decision.

Hm, not sure what to do about this bug, I've encountered it before, but I dont know what to do about it

spring cape
#

i am having trouble getting into game itself, i spawn in home region, when i try to spawn in blemish, my loading screen freezes then crashes, here is the crash log thingy

ruby island
#

@spring cape your gpu drivers are 9 months out of date download the latest drivers from nvidia and update

spring cape
#

do you know the bounds of retard my mind has gone, i have been wondering why my gpu has been so shit for so long, you just said the most barebones advice i have ever heard and you are still smarter than me

ruby island
#

honestly a 1060 9 months ago compared to a recent driver wouldnt help with performance or maybe just a little but mainly bug fixes

#

nvidia has already squeezed out all the performance it can of a 1060

spring cape
#

yep im set on upgrading my gpu sometime soon

ruby island
#

well a 1060 is great for almost any game at medium to high in 1080p

#

or 1920x1080

#

anything above that resolution and that gpu is useless

spring cape
#

i usually do 1920x1080 (thats my screen) but there is something that is inefficient about my computer i have been trying to figure out, i think it is my motherboard (asus b250-a (really old))

#

my cpu aint bad and i am in the process of making my wires use less space and generally cool down my pc

ruby island
#

well it wouldn't be your motherboard

#

in general motherboards have very little effect on performance

blissful sequoia
#

check GPU temperature and fan speed.

ruby island
#

now the chipsets are a different story

blissful sequoia
#

GPUs heat throttle by slowing down

ruby island
#

ya you should monitor temps during gameplay

blissful sequoia
#

or just run a program that will peg it

ruby island
#

you are on kaby lake so your processer shouldnt be bad

blissful sequoia
#

e.g. heavyload

ruby island
#

unless you got like a shit processer which there are few for desktop for kaby lake

blissful sequoia
ruby island
#

eyyy someone that actually likes using open source software other then that closed source crap

spring cape
#

my temps are super shit

#

i average 100c playing games, 80c idle

#

im getting new heatsink fan + new thermal paste soon

ruby island
#

thats way to high

#

is that for your gpu or cpu

#

if thats your gpu then check the fan speed in software and check if its physically running

drifting ocean
#

HWInfo is a decent app for finding out whats going on in your computer

#

if you ever want to see a whole lot of info about what your computer is doing get Rainmeter from rainmeter.net + Gadgets by silverazide rmskin

blissful sequoia
#

i thougt 95C was the throttle point for most cards, some cards 75C

#

if thats true then heat/fan is your problem...yah...

ruby island
#

95C for the cpu for sure

#

for gpu i am pretty sure its 105C

#

that would be hard limit caps

fringe heart
#

100c is insane for a cpu

#

And gpu

fringe heart
#

Ideally i like to keep my components at or below 80c

blissful sequoia
#

my stuff is at like 40C or lower

#

and nearly silent

fringe heart
#

Mine tends to stay around 70c

oof too hot. noctua for the win

Yea, I have audio for a few seconds after I spawn into the world, then the audio stutters and bugs out and I can't hear anything

manic flume
#

It happened me when a bro talking the game is more quiet

#

But maybe not in the game the audio problem @polar valve

polar valve
#

I just tried seeing if there was audio when I didn't have a headset plugged in and there was none.

#

Even though I don't have audio muted

#

I feel like something went wrong with the file download

#

But I don't know what to look for

manic flume
#

Try to put out usb and put in the and set it is your headset

blissful sequoia
#

for those of you crashing, try updating video and sound drivers, for those of you with sound problems try freeware virtual audio mixer software voicemeeter

#

otherwise, Mattshrug early access bruh

tame schooner
#

I have upgraded video and sound drivers

#

But I dont know what is this I did not have this problem like 2 months ago

polar valve
#

Ok, so I do have audio without headset plugged in, but it still bugs out when I spawn in

ruby island
#

@tight inlet fatal error is usually caused by outdated gpu drivers

#

specifically with amd drivers between 19.12.2 - 20.1.1

#

but if you dont have amd update anyway

south vault
#

Oh that's wacky.

#

I had choppy voice chat, like every second, the audio would sorta cut and start again obnoxiously. Looked at my task bar, saw that my microphone was being in use, then stopping, and being in use again, at the exact time these chops occurred. So I set my input device to 'system default' rather than directly choosing it, and now its smooth.

Hi, so I just got Foxhole, loving the game n everything, but this error I keep getting is I'll be comfortably be playing and I'll get a "Connection to Server Timed Out" message. This doesn't happen like once, it has happened multiple times. I'll be able to connect to the home region with no issue but when I go to deploy it'll load for a few minutes and then give me the error again. Is anyone able to help me with this? Thanks!! 👼

rancid flame
#

Keep getting a blackscreen on startup and I did all the "technical read firsts" that could be the problem and is my laptop only having 1.2 ghz of ram enough to make the game not run at all? I mean this stuff is bonkers to me since I run tons of other games with the same 2.0 requirement "fine" on this laptop. At least they start up to the main menu.

terse flume
#

@haughty hatch how's your internet speed?

#

@rancid flame basically youll just have to wait a few minutes for the black screen to clear up , it's annoying but yeah

rancid flame
#

No the games never starts at all it holds the black screen then dies

ruby island
#

@rancid flame do you have amd graphics

#

if you do then update past 20.1.1

rancid flame
#

No its default intel which I figure could also be the problem

ruby island
#

can you do a test real quick and disable wifi then launch the game

rancid flame
#

That worked...?

ruby island
#

yup as i expected i have not found a fix for this

#

nor has anyone

rancid flame
#

Huh thats bizzare

ruby island
#

best thing you can do is copy all logs and sent it to clapfoot

rancid flame
#

Alright will do hopefully they figure out a fix in the near future

#

Thanks for at least finding the source of the issue

#

Sort of

ruby island
#

just curious what brand of laptop

#

as i have almost seen it exclusively in hp

rancid flame
#

Yup its HP

ruby island
#

ah strange maybe its related in some way to hp

#

3 cases all reported with hp laptops

rancid flame
#

Shot in the dark here but I imagine its something about window's defender or something not liking connecting to the server

#

But turning firewall off does nothing

#

And this isnt some new problem Ive never gotten the game to run on this laptop I gave up several times and decided to try again tonight

ruby island
#

are you on 1909?

rancid flame
#

Yap

ruby island
#

hmmm pretty sure the other 2 were as well

rancid flame
#

Really activates my almonds

ruby island
#

also it wouldnt have anything to do with windows defender

#

if that were the case it would be not as isolated as it is

#

its most likely a driver of some sort

rancid flame
#

Ive had this issue since that red river event which predates the 1909 update

#

Wait it doesnt

#

Hmmmm big think there

ruby island
#

well then maybe it has nothing to do with 1909 specifically but some type of driver

rancid flame
#

Thatd make sense. Well nothing can be done atm

ruby island
#

well you can try going to the hp driver download site and update your drivers

rancid flame
#

Ill give it a try

ruby island
#

that was no luck for i think both of the people that had the issue so i dont have high hopes

#

well if that doesnt work then the only thing you can do is zip up your crash files and email it over to clapfoot explaining the issue

#

and send in a dxdiag report

rancid flame
#

Would the crash files be in the steam folder area or somewhere else I never actually get an error report or any pop up just kind of peters out

ruby island
#

press win button + r and type C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Foxhole\Saved\Crashes

#

that will take you to the crashes folder

rancid flame
#

I see its in the appdata folder

ruby island
#

what i would do is start the game let it crash then zip up the latest folder

#

then start a tool called dxdiag and click save all information and send that along with the zipped folder

rancid flame
#

Alright Im reseting for the drivers we'll see thanks again

ruby island
rancid flame
#

Mine seems to be under Foxhole\Saved\Config\CrashReportClient\UE4CC-Windows-BC9E7C1E4B41F5CE7906379E18562C8D

#

Same thing right?

ruby island
#

no thats not the same thing

#

there should be a folder called crashes

rancid flame
#

That doesnt exist

ruby island
#

hmmm so the game is not "crashing"

rancid flame
#

Something like that

#

It holds the black screen like it did when I could actually play it on my PC then it crashes about the time the menu would start

#

Or whatever it does

Hi guys! I'm having connection issues, such as "connection refused by server,your connection to the host has been lost","Lost connection to server. Please try again. If the problem persists again, try refreshing the server list." etc.(shard problem, as well as download profile). I have tried everything, from disabling firewall, resetting the firewall permission, resetting the modem and the ethernet cables, restarting the PC, waiting for the next day, verify the game files, changing the in-game server browser to 500pings/m. I have tried everything the discord and reddit posts have suggested, except deleting and reinstalling foxhole ( as my friends suggested). My internet connection is doing well, I can play other games with good ping. The odd thing though is that when i used task manager i saw Foxhole4.20.3:31319 using up a lot of internet, that it stops discord from running (I have really bad Internet). Whenever I am able to run foxhole, I was able to join my squad, I can run around and sometimes be able to shoot, but when i see other plays they just run a straight line. I have a lot of screenshots of the problem. Also this problem began during the practice war, (Sorry for this wall of text, I've been trying ever since the Practice war)

this happens everytime i try to log in, im forced to keep trying infinetly until it works randomly

wary tundra
#

might be a firewall thing, I don't know

mint bay
#

I have that problem as well, after i turned off my firewall

wary tundra
#

checking through old messages if there's a similar problem

#

my voip is jerky i already tchecked my dns it is set to 8.8.8.8 and i ran sip alg detector and this parameter is disabled on my home network so what should i do next to fix voip pleas 😄

terse flume
#

Im back again, having the same problems as the one I posted yesterday. Done everything.

#

Any other game that I play works well. First time connection issues I had with foxhole for the past 4 years.

#

I saw a few other guys having the same problems, anybody have a solution or are we doomed to wait for the devs to do something?

#ISSUE: Unable to deploy - the map does not loads up @ 0:46 seconds (see video).
I have uploaded the video on Youtube: https://youtu.be/3lOgfwfhwD8

Tried all steps mentioned on http://www.foxholegame.com/support
Even did uninstall and reinstalled the game.

The video was shot on: 2020 April 06 at GMT 5:30+17:53:27 - when the issue started. Still no fix found on 2020 April 10 at GMT 5:30+17:41:00. World Conquest #52 has started and I haven't been able to deploy yet! I have 2300+ hours of gameplay but haven't witnessed this issue.

@terse flume It's pretty damn good, I can play CSGO with no lag issues as well as M&B, AoE2DE, etc.

terse flume
#

@haughty hatch have you tried verifying your files?

#

usually your error message indicates a connection problem. but it might be your game files or possibly a hardware problem (read pinned msgs)

ocean ether
#

Greetings, Comrades, this is Private Joseph, I've seen to have gotten myself into a bit of a situation, and require assistance. Over.

haughty hatch
#

@terse flume doing that now, but this is the second time i've verified the game files

ocean ether
#

Requesting assistance, my friend told me to join the wardens, when he meant colonials, and now we cant play together, I have logged 15 minutes of game time, really need help changing my side so I can play with my friend

haughty hatch
#

You're friends with a collie? yikes.

That being said, have you checked the top right hand corner when you go to deploy (where you can edit your profile, etc.). You're typically allowed to change your side there IIRC.

Does anyone else know what to do when I alt tab from the game and get message: Unreal Engine existed due to D3D device being lost?

tame schooner

#

This is similiar to foxhole error mesage I get

#

but this message is for PUBG Lite

blissful sequoia
#

@umbral wharf have you tried changing your DNS server to use google or opendns?

#

its either a) pointing to the wrong server IP or b) unable to route to that address, i would test the DNS server first, then I would test with a VPN to see if it will connect through that (like tunnelbear)

visual jewel
ruby island
#

@cosmic elk @terse flume restart steam

#

@visual jewel try updating gpu drivers

#

@tame schooner are you overclocking or is your gpu overheating at all

#

that is a common issue with nvidia

#

@mint bay can you run a speed test if your download is below probably 2mbps then thats probably you issue

#

also if your ping is high thats a issue

#

@ocean ether you can contact the mods generally they will unlock your faction

ocean ether
#

@ruby island Thank you, Lt. thecuz1

ruby island
#

yeet

sharp kestrel
#

So say my mic stops working for no reason, would restarting Foxhole work? Anyone know?

mint bay
#

@ruby island I have around a download speed of 1.0-1.2 mbps, but with a really high upload speed, I guess thats the problem? My ping is also quite decent. The fact that this happens only with foxhole boggles me

ruby island
#

ya well 1.2mbps is most likely your issue

mint bay
#

Hmm but it only happens to foxhole

ruby island
#

well idk what to tell you

#

maybe you can try updates to your wireless/lan drivers

#

also changing your dns server

mint bay
#

Will try againn I guess

flint briar
#

My game only updates fps when I change window. Anyone can help me ?

tame schooner
#

@ruby island I have not overclocked and I will check the temperature of GPU

blissful sequoia
#

You need to change your resolution in the settings and change back

#

That was the fix before...

ocean cargo
#

I've been having this problem lately where I can join the home region but then when I try to deploy the game starts loading but after a while I get a "Connection to server timed out" sort of error and I'm put back into the main menu. Any idea what to do about it? I tried changing the DNS and the game isn't blocked in the firewall.

worldly oriole
#

try verifying your game files

ocean cargo
#

didn't help, already tried

#

even redownloading the game

worldly oriole
#

have you tried flushing your DNS instead of changing it?

ocean cargo
#

i have not no

tame schooner
#

Fatal Error: [File:Unknown] [Line: 200]
Unreal Engine is exiting due to D3D device being lost. (Error: 0x887A0006 - 'HUNG')

#

Alt tabbing while in game ( game crashes and sends this message )

ruby island
#

@tame schooner do you have a laptop?

worldly oriole
#

@tame schooner i would check your graphics driver

tame schooner
#

Yes I have laptop

worldly oriole
#

make sure it was installed correctly or up to date

tame schooner
#

I checked drivers

ruby island
#

can you disable battery boost in geforce experience

tame schooner
#

they are up to date

#

I was trying to find that option but I dont know where it is in geforce expirience

ruby island
#

its under games

tame schooner
#

I have not had this problem 2 months ago when I played

worldly oriole
#

a recent update might have caused it

tame schooner
#

probably

ruby island
#

most likely a update to unreals engine caused this

#

which foxhole probably updated to

tame schooner
#

I think its freezing due to fast FPS drop

#

and then Unreal Engine just shuts

ruby island
#

can you screen shot geforce experience

#

it should be under the games section

haughty hatch
#

unreal engine has been such a bitch to me real talk tho

tame schooner
#

I dont have option to optimise games

#

cus my GPU does not meet requirement

#

nVidia NVS 5200M

#

I know its potato, gonna upgrade soon 😂

ruby island
tame schooner
#

nope

ruby island
#

ok go to the nvidia control panel

#

click manage 3d settings

tame schooner
#

yes

ruby island
#

and under preferred graphics processer set it to nvidia

#

under global

tame schooner
#

I dont have option to select

ruby island
#

can i see the manage 3d settings tab

#

and whats on it

tame schooner
#

seing from rainbow six siege settings, there is a little bar with VRAM and then u set prefered graphics, it was saying that I am using NVS 5200M

ruby island
#

but you need to set it with global settings not just specific games

tame schooner
#

File too powerful discord says...

ruby island
#

use the snipping tool and take a screen shot of that tab

tame schooner
ruby island
#

and also i think need to be off battery in order for battery boost to show up

tame schooner
#

k gonna unplug laptop

#

and check

#

nope nothing

ruby island
#

did you close and reopen geforce experience

#

go into settings then games

tame schooner
#

still nothing

ruby island
#

can you go to device manager and open up display adapters

#

do intel and nvidia show up

tame schooner
#

No display adapters

ruby island
#

there cant be none

#

do you see any orange triangles over anything

tame schooner
#

there are no orange triangles

ruby island
#

press the arrow to the left

#

or double click

tame schooner
#

Its on Croatian but you can see from icons

ruby island
#

there is a arrow

tame schooner
#

On all? Or just graphics card?

ruby island
#

just open display adapters

tame schooner
#

Maybe you dont understand me. There is display adapter option.

#

There is no*

ruby island
#

what you have selected there i think is it

tame schooner
#

Ok I opened

#

There is NVIDIA NVS 5200M

ruby island
#

is that it

tame schooner
#

yes
