[blissful sequoia]

in full screen? windowed? vsync?

[ruby island]

with vsync off

[blissful sequoia]

is it possible your monitor is at like 59hz or something?

[ruby island]

in any mode

[blissful sequoia]

still confused then - was there ever a time for you without tearing?

[ruby island]

even if the hz and fps is exactly the same you still doesnt eliminate screen tearing

[blissful sequoia]

since you dont use vsync...

i kind of expect tearing to happen

[ruby island]

yes when i was limiting it to 121 fps

i had no visual screen tearing

[blissful sequoia]

so 121 fps was less tearing? hmm 🤔 im thinking it was actually more tearing but looked like less

imagine its tearing twice as much because its twice as fast

but each frame increments in a smaller step, so you dont see big tears

interesting... so higher hz is lower perceived tearing

[ruby island]

no there is a difference between visual screen tearing and screen tearing

visual is what you actually notice

just screen tearing is not something you notice

[blissful sequoia]

i consider it a tear to change frames in between vertical retrace

you notice them more when you move left and right more than looking up and down

[ruby island]

if you double your monitors refresh rate +1 it will minimalize the visual screen tearing

[blissful sequoia]

but its still drawing the frame between refreshes just as much or more

[ruby island]

assuming your gpu can push that many frames

[blissful sequoia]

but you see my point? its still calling frame update in the middle of a retrace

its doing it even more than 60 hz

[ruby island]

you are still screen tearing but its not notable

[blissful sequoia]

the tears are just smaller, but more of them

this blows my mind

i have never thought of tearing in this way

i mean particularly because my eyes are like 40-50hz anyway

[ruby island]

ehhh

https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapc/comments/1544hx/explaining_vsync_and_other_things/

[blissful sequoia]

i understand vsync well

[ruby island]

here is a in depth explanation of it

[blissful sequoia]

the tearing phenomenon i realized less

[ruby island]

i think its less visual tearing because the frames have less differences so your brain sort of combines the images together

and makes it seem like you dont have any screen tearing

[fathom hamlet]

waaait a sec. they really force locked fps ??

[ruby island]

yes to 60

really sucks

i hate full screen because of the amount of tabbing i do and vsync only works in full screen

[fathom hamlet]

what the hell ,?????

yep. the devs tried to lock out the FOVers and this is what happened, evidently
@blissful sequoia FOVers? what dou you mean? thats 2 different things... that resolution not the f ps

[blissful sequoia]

i think they locked up that settings file FOVers were using and frame rate lock changers both shared

or maybe they didnt put that in the list of changeable settings...

just guesses

[fathom hamlet]

i dont really get what are you talking about, but i tried with vsync and not working... so they made it unplayable .. good (y)

[ruby island]

basically they fixed the FOV exploit by locking down a bunch of settings

and in doing that they probably locked the fps

being paranoid

[blissful sequoia]

vsync in fullscreen, right?

[ruby island]

vsync can only be used in fullscreen yes

[fathom hamlet]

i cant believe man..

why they messing up something always

[livid surge]

hi my problem is i cant change resolution and i cant play fullscreen this issue happened after the last update please help me have good day : )

[trim atlas]

has Intel I5 graphics problems solved yet?

[weary pine]

Can not join any front line and pass home region

i constantly have connection to the server lost

even though internet connection was fine

[terse flume]

Were you able to join before

[weary pine]

i was able to join and i was actively playing

but after trench warfare update i am not able to join it

[terse flume]

Did you do anything prior to problem that may affect it

Also were you not able to join fronts in trench warfate at all?

[weary pine]

i was able to join some times but it was very short lived

game crashed to main menu and thats it

[terse flume]

Did you verify your game files from steam.

[weary pine]

i reinstalled foxhole today still the problem stayed

[terse flume]

How long has this been going on?

[weary pine]

basically since the release of trench warfare update

[terse flume]

Did you try disabling your firewall

[weary pine]

it is disabled

antivirus turned off

[terse flume]

What is your system specs?

Like what kind of CPU you have.

[weary pine]

intel core i3?

[terse flume]

Is it old?

Like can it be the one causing the problem.

[weary pine]

it is old but capable potato of a pc

[terse flume]

You had problems with it before etc.

Do you get any crash reports or something?

[weary pine]

its like a crash to the main menu

[terse flume]

I see

Can you tell me what happens before you crash

Like going to X place

Also does area around you load before you crash?

[weary pine]

Also does area around you load before you crash?
the only place that loads is home island

[terse flume]

can you go to a trench or something spesic that came with the trench update at the home island

In training grounds.

[weary pine]

yes i was able to do everything in home island

[terse flume]

Try using a VPN?

[weary pine]

i dont have one

[terse flume]

Just download a free one somewhere

Dont get viruses be careful though

Its a far shot but it may help.

There probably would be a tech god that sees this conversation at later date date can fix your problem.

But this is all i can do really. Sorry.

[weary pine]

yea ik

VPN wont help probably but ill consider it

[terse flume]

I know

I had a similar problem in another game

Turns out i got region locked

VPN solved it.

[weary pine]

there was one steam post with same problem as i had

https://steamcommunity.com/app/505460/discussions/1/1797403972735704265/

there are 3 possible solutions

i've tried 2 of them

didnt help

third solution requires command prompt

half of the commands didnt work

[terse flume]

The thread is like 1.5 year old

It was probably a different problem

[weary pine]

still the description fits my problem

[ruby island]

@weary pine can you delete this folder C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Foxhole and try

[weary pine]

delete it after i uninstall foxhole or right now?

[ruby island]

right now is fine

also do you loose connection randomly or when travelling between borders

[weary pine]

also do you loose connection randomly or when travelling between borders
you know? actually both

i loose it if i try to join any region

and if i manage to get in

and i try to do logi for example

i lose connection too

[ruby island]

hmm are you or anyone on your network saturating your speeds by downloading or anything like that

[weary pine]

hmm are you or anyone on your network saturating your speeds by downloading or anything like that
its like everybody's network

but rn

its night

and i still loose connection

and no i do not download anything

[ruby island]

has deleting that folder fixed the issue or is it still happening

[weary pine]

after deleting should i verify files?

[ruby island]

no you dont need to

[livid surge]

@terse flume bizim soruna bi baksana kanka

[weary pine]

ok i deleted it

ill try to join the game

[ruby island]

also do you have any sort of anti virus that could be interfering with the connection

[weary pine]

i turned it off

it did nothing

[ruby island]

so deleting that did nothing?

[weary pine]

idk firing foxhole rn

idk if it worth mentioning but while joining the region foxhole does not respond in task manager

nope it kicked me to the main menu

[ruby island]

thats normal when loading the region

hmmm is there a error

[weary pine]

there was a suggestion that this is DNS related problem

welp i changed it as was said in pinned comment

[ruby island]

potentially depending on the error message received

if this problem happens after already in the server dns would not be your issue

as well as if you get to the loading phase where you see the foxhole logo then it wouldnt be dns

[weary pine]

hmm i dont even know what to do

[ruby island]

you have tried restarting steam correct

[weary pine]

ok

so i was able to join deadlands

[ruby island]

have you gotten kicked out at all

[weary pine]

i just joined deadlands without problem

ill try to hop into other regions and see if problem persist

whatever i did i am able to join regions for the first time since damn trench wafare update

it seems that DNS change helped

but still idrk if i got rid of the problem or its just working for today

[ruby island]

well if you have any other just ping

[weary pine]

ill ping if the problem will return

but for now foxhole runs even smoother than before

And also there is weird graphics bug in home island

But thats not too much of an issue

[weary pine]

Fatal error: [File:Unknown] [Line: 193]
A FRenderResource was deleted without being released first!

Happened on travel

[white cipher]

@ruby island @sly mortar @blissful sequoia It was my processor

Getting my computer back up sometime after work

[nova veldt]

Hello I've got a problem with squad.
When I'm connected in game and in a squad with friends

Other squad teamates see that I'm in the squad ( in this case as a squad leader)

but I see that i'm not in any squad = I see the list of all the squad.
( in this case I see squad mates in Green ; I can't acces my squad claim trucks but can still talk and interact with them trough squad voice )

I think I need mods to eject me from the squad to solve this.

[blissful sequoia]

@white cipher i didnt know your computer was broken. the processor died? i have literally never seen that happen

[white cipher]

its an old computer

like 10 years its not alien for a processor to die

[blissful sequoia]

never ... ever seen a processor die

its basically the toughest part of the computer

[sly mortar]

Did you light it on fire?

[blissful sequoia]

it would have shut off before overheating

unless the motherboard fries CPUs... somehow

[sly mortar]

some shitty mobos do

[blissful sequoia]

its just ... such a rare thing in my experience to have CPU problems, unless you bend a pin or it short circuits right away, they never just decay into a broken state

[white cipher]

The computers cooling died

so it was just a matter of time until it just had enough

I have a new computer now because all the parts in that machine are old so its just cheaper this way

I just need to transfer my data and the move is complete

[ruby island]

its probably not the processer but some other component

i have never seen a processer die

could have been your hard drive ram motherboard or gpu

or just corrupted windows files

but i highly doubt it was the cpu

[terse flume]

@ruby island can you tell me what was nestors problem?

Im really curious.

[ruby island]

i think he couldnt load into regions or gets disconnected

one of the 2

[terse flume]

How did you fix it

[ruby island]

well he changed his dns and i told him to delete the foxhole folder under localappdata

i didnt know the exact problem they were having so no idea if dns did anything

it was unclear if they could get into the game or not

[terse flume]

Since he doesnt respond anymore i think he solved it

He seem to be happy that he can get in

Anyways he told that he deleted foxhole already

[ruby island]

under localappdata?

[terse flume]

If deleting a folder was the fix why did it not get fixed when he deleted the whole game

No he deleted all

Like from steam

[ruby island]

when you remove the game through steam it will not touch the localappdata directory

you have to manually find that and delete it

and the only reason you would know about that folder would be if you went looking for it

as appdata is hidden

[terse flume]

So

Deleting the game doesnt delete the appdata

[ruby island]

thats correct

and the appdata folder stores options, configs and logs for the game

there could have potentially been a conflict during the update

as they mentioned after the update they were having issues

[terse flume]

@ruby island alright thanks man

I appreciate your insight

[ruby island]

yeet

[vivid coral]

@ruby island reason u know is to edit it to make it run at 144 fps. Disabled now

[ruby island]

ya they disabled allowing you to edit the fps cap

[terse flume]

Thecuz

What could be the reason of this

Resolution doesnt show up and can only play with windowed mod on

Broken after update 0.36

@ruby island

[ruby island]

hmmm

delete this folder C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Foxhole

[terse flume]

No avail

It didnt fix it

[ruby island]

did you validate as well

[terse flume]

Yeah

Its not my problem. Just a friends.

[ruby island]

they might have to do a complete reinstall of the game

[terse flume]

Already done

Doesnt work.

[ruby island]

does manually settings the values in the settings ini work

[terse flume]

Where is the settings ini?

[ruby island]

C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Foxhole\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor\GameUserSettings.ini

there you can set all the settings you can in game

[terse flume]

Alright

Ill tell him. Thanks.

[ruby island]

also what gpu does your friend have

could have some kind of effect

seems strange tho

[terse flume]

Ill ask

Hes sleeping.

[ruby island]

ok

People have been asking for two years if chat font can be adjusted. Has it been implemented yet?

[lofty marlin]

Was there some update i missed over last 2 days? Steam showed me a window saying "processing vulkan shaders" when launching the game

[smoky grotto]

if you had any updates they were maybe some of the fixes, that devs did

since this update had lots of problems

[edgy dune]

My game seems to randomly freeze for two minutes then auto close on itself and it's been doing it only this update. I tabbed out and noticed the error box that normally goes away too fast and copied what it said.

Fatal error: [File:Unknown] [Line: 1155]
GameThread timed out waiting for RenderThread after 120.00 seconds

Yesterday I only had one of these freezes and other days way more, not sure what's triggering it but it's super annoying, im still able to hear in game audio but everything else is frozen

[terse flume]

@ruby island it didnt work

the problem that i told you yesterday

the solution didnt fix it 😦

[ruby island]

@terse flume what gpu does your friend have and are they up to date on both windows updates and driver updates

[half dragon]

I was sent here from mod mail...
"Failed to download profile [1]. Please try again. If the issue persists, visit our support page."
I have restarted the game, restarted steam, restarted the computer, updated steam, waited a week, reinstalled the game, and consulted the support page.
I'm not sure what else to do.
Please Help.

[ruby island]

@half dragon try changing your dns servers and deleting this folder C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Foxhole

[night coral]

c

Sorry missclicked

[sly mortar]

@edgy dune Can you DM me your latest War-Backup from Appdata/Local/Foxhole/Saved/Logs

[edgy dune]

@sly mortar there's lots

[sly mortar]

Latest one

[magic mauve]

how do i fix?

[sly mortar]

@magic mauve Restart steam fully

[magic mauve]

ok

when i exit foxhole it says it's still running

[sly mortar]

Close it with Task manager

Same for steam

[magic mauve]

ok

it says it again

should i restart my pc?

[sly mortar]

Try that

[magic mauve]

it works no

now*

[sage mantle]

Does anyone have a solution to "error 1 can not download shard file" issue?

[sly mortar]

@sage mantle try restarting steam

[eternal thunder]

Hey so I play this game on Fullscreen since it doesn’t work on the others. I tried to change it today but changed it back and now my screen looks like it’s enlarged and such how do I fix that? I tried uninstalling

[wind siren]

I FIXED MY VOICE CHAT THAT CONFUSED ME FOR 3 YEARS

I CAN HEAR PEOPLE NOW

[celest copper]

I need help! The shoreline animation seems to grind my client to a halt, to the point that my aim line points inversely to where I place my cursor. Is there anyway for me to disable the shoreline animation, even if I need to edit the game files directly?

[ruby island]

does the shorelines happen to be near the border and does your game freeze for 5 or so seconds @celest copper

if so everyone has that issue

@eternal thunder what aspect ratio are you playing on

if its something other then 16:9 then it could be zoomed in dues to the latest update when they fixed the fov exploit

[terse flume]

Does anyone know when the foxhole hq map used for Storm cannons will be updated for deadlands?

[ruby island]

@terse flume it is updated https://foxholeglobal.com/map

pretty sure they pull those maps directly from the api so they should be updated as soon as there is a change in the map

or the github page for the api

[terse flume]

ya its not updated at all lol

[ruby island]

oh i see

the actual locations of the buildings are accurate

so you shouldnt have any issues using storm cannons unless you are attacking something thats not a major town

[sage mantle]

I tried to restart steam and nothing works. Ive unblocked all ports, ive verified the files. I cant find a solution to shard info download problem:(

[sly mortar]

@sage mantle In the top right hand corner which shard do you have selected?

On the main menu, you should have "Live" selected

Also please make sure that you do not have any betas for the game selected

[blissful sequoia]

somebody should ping them, then. i sent them the new map already, re: foxholeglobal

[buoyant vessel]

I'm getting this error and followed a small guide on how to fix it involving excluding the game folder in my AV but to no avail

reinstalled, verified game cache, the works I'm not surw what the issue is

im assuming it's the recent updatr just being weird

[smoky grotto]

you mean the profile error?

there's no real fix for it

you need to wait

¯_(ツ)_/¯

bigsad

[buoyant vessel]

rip no possible fix whatsoever?

[smoky grotto]

i had it once and reinstalled foxhole too

didn't help

it lets you log in after around 1-3 hours

it's not common tho

[buoyant vessel]

the game doesn't even launch :/ just says it's running in the library for a few seconds then stops

[smoky grotto]

oh

that's diffrent

i though it was the profile bug

well that sound more like a problem with steam

[buoyant vessel]

I don't get rhw error unless I try launching it from the folder and it says it has something to do with a Shipping.exe file?

[smoky grotto]

try restartin your pc

idk

[buoyant vessel]

done it a few times now with no success

[terse flume]

@buoyant vessel have you tried reinstalling VCRedist pack?

error code points to missing dll from this library

[buoyant vessel]

Oh no I hadn't

haven't*

so would I just have to dl it from a third party site or could in just delete it then verify my game cache?

[buoyant vessel]

it's just weird bc it was working fine just before the last update

[ruby island]

look in pins

they updated vsruntime in the latest update

always check pins before posting as usually most common issues will be there

[blissful sequoia]

i hope nobody downloaded all of visual studio and installed it because thats kind of confusing if you dont click the link

"hmm do I need F# for foxhole?"

[sly mortar]

Yes

You do

Definitely

Disclaimer: this was sarcasm for the next person who runs into this issue and who may find this message. Don't actually download all of visual studio. You will be confused out of your mind

[sly mortar]

@bright geyser What graphics card do you have?

[blissful sequoia]

i mean ... it would install the runtime, so it would work

but its like 3+ GB

[buoyant vessel]

Oh sweet I'll look into it and also if that's supposed to be in the read-first section it doesn't show?

http://prntscr.com/swv6m9

this be the only related solution that comes up for me

[sly mortar]

#technical-read-first⚠ contains some stuff, but a lot of the other fixes are pinned in this channel @buoyant vessel

[buoyant vessel]

Oh oka good to know tyty

[dense sundial]

hi

hi guys my mic not working in foxholes and i also cant hear other people taking on mic while normal game voice are working fine

[bright geyser]

@sly mortar I have a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050

[sly mortar]

Laptop or PC?

[polar marlin]

any tech wizards knowledgable in ethernet

I think my ethernet ports are fried after the storm

wifi is working perfectly, that's how I'm typing atm

but the ethernet port is a constant red light, even without a connected cable

resets don't work, still keeps glowing red on the same ass port

[blissful sequoia]

red... usually they dont even have red lights

orange usually means like 100mbps and green is gbps

try connecting the cable to a different router/switch

but yah onboard ports do get fried sometimes, is it a pc or a laptop?

[polar marlin]

pc

Last pic had the mac stuff showed
Can't have that now can we

[blissful sequoia]

oh on the ... router itself its red, wow

i mean cant you just swap which port its plugged into?

or have your cable company swap it out?

[polar marlin]

well I suppose I should just contact the guys tbh

[blissful sequoia]

but it seems like you have 3 other ports you could use, no?

also nobody can see your mac address outside your network

i mean if they knew it, it wouldnt reveal anything secret

thats OSI layer 2 stuff..

[polar marlin]

ah, but you can see the cable in the other port right

it doesn't work.
at all.

tried a backup cable, doesn't work either

right now I'm using USB tethering to use WiFi on the pc through phone

it's actually quite good tbh

called tech support, they're also like "wat" when I told them the router light is a frozen red

[blissful sequoia]

but is it the cable or the port you think doesnt work? because you can plug into any of those ports

[sly mortar]

Red means Gigabit

[blissful sequoia]

really??

[sly mortar]

Green is 100mbps

Amber means it's sending/recieving data

[blissful sequoia]

since when is red... ive never seen a red light on any of my network devices

also why is it lit up when nothing is plugged into it?

[sly mortar]

Yeah wait

The colors are kind of fucked

Different sites are giving me different answers for colors

Ignore above

[blissful sequoia]

@polar marlin youve tried plugging into all of them?

[polar marlin]

y

[sly mortar]

Try it

[blissful sequoia]

so the whole wired network bridge isnt working

[polar marlin]

you know what I fear

that the isolation got fucked

[blissful sequoia]

sounds like that part of the router got fried. youve already tried depowering it?

[sly mortar]

Isolation?

[blissful sequoia]

yah, what?

[sly mortar]

Xfinity?

@blissful sequoia If he's talking about Xfinity --

Each router produces 2 networks by default

[polar marlin]

Isolation transformer

[sly mortar]

What

Why would that have failed

[blissful sequoia]

isolation transformer? like ... a surge protector for ethernet?

[sly mortar]

Have you had a thunderstorm lately

[blissful sequoia]

i mean ... bypass it

[polar marlin]

2 extremely close lighting strikes

[sly mortar]

Okay yeah you're probably fucked

[blissful sequoia]

my guess is that red light indicates the bridge is broken

[polar marlin]

I heard 2 "explosions"

[sly mortar]

@blissful sequoia It's a transformer for an AC power adapter which isolates the device from the power source

[blissful sequoia]

you want that to blow first, right? so then couldnt you bypass it? i never use those

ok ok we need ... another wired network device to test

[polar marlin]

I expected for the safety fuse to be broken but apparently all the circuitry in the home is still active

[sly mortar]

guessing you're going to need a new router

[blissful sequoia]

to determine if its your computer with the dead port or the router

[sly mortar]

My guess is the overload wasn't enough to trigger the fuse but that this had a lower fuse

[blissful sequoia]

hopefully its the router, and then your cable company will replace it probably for free

[sly mortar]

No it'd be the router

Otherwise his PC wouldn't be turning on

[blissful sequoia]

but his network port on his computer could be dead, and that would lead to the unlit ports on the router, because it doesnt know its plugged into anything

[sly mortar]

Ethernet cables don't carry overload shocks too well

And as of.. 2015ish nearly all motherboards ground the ethernet ports

[blissful sequoia]

oh?

[sly mortar]

Yeah

[blissful sequoia]

well that kind of explains why i havent had one die lately then

[polar marlin]

mine is alive for 7 years now

[blissful sequoia]

hmm so yah i would think cable company would be familiar with one red light problem

[sly mortar]

The newer ethernet standards are much better protected against surges

@polar marlin is that a red light or an amber light

[polar marlin]

would have to give them the router which is honestly not something I feel like doing atm, considering I'm staying in this apartment for like only 2 more weeks

[sly mortar]

It's hard to tell in the picture

[polar marlin]

red aff

[sly mortar]

Hmm

Who made the router

[blissful sequoia]

theres like no problem using wifi if youre cool with it

[sly mortar]

^

[blissful sequoia]

unless you had to have a wired network for local data transfer

[polar marlin]

nah, I'm using my phone as wifi card for pc now

[blissful sequoia]

but wifi is probably faster than your internet speed, so no real loss

whaaat

[polar marlin]

usb tether

[blissful sequoia]

are you using the phone's internet or the router?

[sly mortar]

If it's a comcast router wifi is not anywhere near internet speed

[polar marlin]

router wifi

[blissful sequoia]

are you sure of this? i didnt think a phone woudl do that well

[sly mortar]

@blissful sequoia He's using the phone as a wifi card

[polar marlin]

it actually gives me good speeds tbh

[blissful sequoia]

yah i dont ... thats not a thing

[sly mortar]

Some phones can do it

[blissful sequoia]

what phones?!

[sly mortar]

Apparently his

[blissful sequoia]

i think hes using mobile data

[sly mortar]

Doubt it

[polar marlin]

the router is ubee evw32c

I have my mobile data disabled

since I'm not on a flat internet on phone

[sly mortar]

Nvm manual is just as useless as expected

[polar marlin]

they always are

[sly mortar]

Apparently all the LEDs on your ethernet area should be blue

So I don't know what to tell you

[polar marlin]

hmmm yes
blue
like hell I saw a blue light in my life

[blissful sequoia]

uhh
theyre green and orange i think

the front panel has the blue lights

[polar marlin]

green and yellow/orangeish is most often

front panel is green lights on this one

[sly mortar]

Ah there are the ethernet colors

aaaaaaaaaaaaand no mention of any red lights

[blissful sequoia]

no...maybe darius is colorblind?

[polar marlin]

no, I see my name as green and yours as blue derp.

[blissful sequoia]

but there should be no lights on an empty port, either way

[polar marlin]

certainly
at first I thought a piece of the cable is stuck or the router thinks it's stuck there

nothing is missing on the cable tho

[blissful sequoia]

you dont have any other wired network devices you coudl test with? an xbox or playstation or uhhh ... a network printer or something?

[sly mortar]

I think your router is drunk

[polar marlin]

hmmmmmmmm

let's check the printer

[blissful sequoia]

also ive never tried, but im relatively sure my android phone wont tether and use wifi as the internet source

tv might have an ethernet port too

just want to see if any other device will light up a port

old router even...

[polar marlin]

printer doesn't have anything but power and usb A

so that's a no

[sly mortar]

Sidenote, why are printers shit

[blissful sequoia]

damn my printer kicks total ass

darius also check http://ifconfig.me and see if its your cable IP address, I am very skeptical

if you are using mobile data, its possible the router is just unable to connect to ISP at all

[polar marlin]

nah, it's wifi

wifi is active

[sly mortar]

[blissful sequoia]

ive just never ever seen a smart phone set up to route/masquerade through wifi

i know its possible but they just never make it easily accessible

[polar marlin]

third thing after booting up the pc I've tried to do the 192.168.0.1 right

but if your ethernet isn't even connected, you get nothing

[blissful sequoia]

this is more evidence you arent using the router

its possible its disabled over wifi, but not likely

[polar marlin]

I could maybe try disabling the wifi.

hear ya in 10 min or so

[blissful sequoia]

if you unplug the router, i bet your internet keeps working

[sly mortar]

@blissful sequoia Why are things so expensive

[blissful sequoia]

what things?

[sly mortar]

Drill bits

[blissful sequoia]

hmm i watch slickdeals every day and buy things i dont need because theyre cheap

ive got some nice drill bits i got cheap

[sly mortar]

It's a pretty specialized and weird drill bit though

[blissful sequoia]

i mean if you need diamond tipped or masonry bits, well ... thats gonna be pricey i guess

[sly mortar]

It's $65 for this http://drillamerica.net/1-1-16-carbide-tipped-hole-cutter/

[blissful sequoia]

hmm well its carbide tipped

[sly mortar]

Actually nvm it's only $40 at home depot

[blissful sequoia]

also the source is drillamerica.net so ...

not what i would have expected to find at that domain, but reasonable

[sly mortar]

Pff

They're an industrial supply company

Not what your disgusting mind is coming up with

[polar marlin]

am back

[blissful sequoia]

would have really expected something about oil or fracking

[sly mortar]

welcome back

[polar marlin]

nothing changed

[sly mortar]

is your PC still having internet

With your router completely unplugged

[polar marlin]

nope, discord went poof

[blissful sequoia]

oh good. i wonder wtf you cant connect to 192.168.0.1 then

[sly mortar]

...

[blissful sequoia]

maybe thats the ip address of the LAN adapter, which is dead

[sly mortar]

Do you mean 10.0.0.0.1

[blissful sequoia]

youd probably have to run a traceroute to get the ip address of the wifi adapter then

[sly mortar]

Because I can't even connect to 192.168.0.1

[polar marlin]

I can get to the router using wifi and doing the 192.168.0.1

[blissful sequoia]

not everybody uses 10.x.x.x

oooh you can?! interesting

[sly mortar]

Huh yeah, mine doesn't connect using 192.x.x.x

Does using 10.x.x.x

[polar marlin]

I've tried telling it to do a factory reset
0 changes in the end

[blissful sequoia]

kinda cool using your phone as the wifi adapter... hmm

[sly mortar]

Weird

[polar marlin]

my phone internet is Tele 2 , not A1

[blissful sequoia]

yah it sounds fried. i mean you could buy yourself a very cheap wifi adapter for your PC, make sure it works with your windows

[polar marlin]

and I actually have a decent speed lmao

[sly mortar]

Yeah I'd say buy a wifi adapter I guess?

[blissful sequoia]

think this is any good? https://www.ebay.com/itm/PCI-PCIe-WiFi-Network-Card-2-4G-5GHz-Bluetooth-4-0-Support-windows-7-8-8-1-10/254564556825

like 16 bucks and you get bluetooth also with it

ive bought some cheap ass cards before that dont have a windows 10 driver, but this supposedly does

[polar marlin]

10-20€ for one atm

[sly mortar]

They look legit

[polar marlin]

in local shops

[sly mortar]

Probably just buy it local then

More trustworthy than that, even if I do think they're legit

[blissful sequoia]

yah id just get the cheapest one and make sure it has windows 10 support if youre on 10

[sly mortar]

Who isn't these days @blissful sequoia

[blissful sequoia]

oh youd be surprised

[polar marlin]

now here's the big catch
I'm moving out for 2 months so I can just give them the old ass router for fixing
I won't be using it anyways

[blissful sequoia]

theres some tp-link stuff..

[polar marlin]

brah, the tp-link is still on win 7

[sly mortar]

TP link is special

And not in a good way

[blissful sequoia]

your cable company will probably send out a tech and replace it on the spot, i dont think youd be offline

[sly mortar]

^

[blissful sequoia]

or they will send you one, and wait for you to send yours back

[polar marlin]

or even better
I once got one that could work on win xp

[blissful sequoia]

i really like a lot of tp-link stuff, but some of it is crap

[polar marlin]

win xp 64 bit

I used the win xp 64 for like 3 years

[blissful sequoia]

are you gonna drill holes in walls, icanari?

[polar marlin]

and people always went "wat" when I told them I'm using a 64 bit windows xp
or are you gonna drill holes into wood

I found a "cheap" wall drill

[blissful sequoia]

ooooh new windows version available, im scared to install a big windows update cause it could go wrong, but omg omg this one should have WSL2

[sly mortar]

19041 is the earliest that has it @blissful sequoia

[blissful sequoia]

version 2004 waitin for install on my machine

no idea what build that corresponds to

[sly mortar]

that's the right one

[blissful sequoia]

i heard the build should be out in late may tho, so...

[sly mortar]

V2004 is build 19041

[blissful sequoia]

ive been waiting like ... at least a year for this

[sly mortar]

make sure to backup everything

[blissful sequoia]

i dont really keep anything on my desktop

just my ... foxhole videos

[sly mortar]

Yeah those can go

[blissful sequoia]

ill copy those off, youre right

cant lose the derp archive...

[ruby island]

ewww WSL2

they are just giving you more of a reason to stay on windows

its their way of destroying competitors

you wonder why windows has been pushing "we love linux" so much

they are porting everything over

microsoft defender, edge

microsofts 3 main stages to kill competitors is to "embrace, extend, extinguish"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embrace%2C_extend%2C_and_extinguish

there is a whole wiki page on this

[dense sundial]

hi guys

my mic not working in game and i also can not hear other people talking on mic too any fix?

[ruby island]

have you tried the fix for vivox files

[polar marlin]

vivox issues

check the "read first"

[dense sundial]

I HAVE ALSO DONE THAT

NOW I M GETTING VOICE CHAT ERROR {8} 6-0

[ruby island]

change your dns server

[dense sundial]

HOW TO CHANGE

YOU MEAN GOOGLE DNS

[south spire]

@dense sundial your caps is on

[dense sundial]

voice chat error {8} 6.0

[blissful sequoia]

microsoft makes a lot of money on linux, look into how much their cloud service makes. thats why theyre becoming supportive of it

as cool as its been over the decades to make fun of microsoft but then cling to their products for everyday use, i say microsoft is unparalleled in their support of developers

theyre just simply the best

[cunning sapphire]

Is WSL2 a full VM?

[blissful sequoia]

yes, for better or worse ...

[sly mortar]

Yeah, it's a full VM which is running the linux kernel

So it's effectively a kernel level VM

[blissful sequoia]

woo this new windows update is pretty damn fast startup

[ruby island]

na i see microsoft as complete opposite

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRMb51rx2Gg

here is a video

basically they are adding proprietary stuff to WSL to make devs that need linux and hardware acceleration so they get keep people on windows

you watch in the coming years they will be done with the extend stage

they will move on the the extinguish stage

@dense sundial and yes follow this https://discordapp.com/channels/203512636556574720/551236268004999168/551238446379696130

[wild shell]

anyone knows why this happens and how to fix it (sorry for the dirt my camera is broken)

[sly mortar]

@wild shell Try restarting steam

[wild shell]

I kind of already tried everything listed in network issues

And it still does not work

[ruby island]

are you on the live branch @wild shell

[wild shell]

Yes i am

Is it bugged?

It worked for me yesterday

[blissful sequoia]

i think they rolled out a new update, no?

yes, a new update with steam sockets, so a network change

it is likely your router or a software firewall or antivirus you have blocking you

thats ma guess...

[blissful sequoia]

man my computer is running hella smooth after that last windows update (2004)

[wild shell]

Last i checked my firewall was fine

[sly mortar]

Did you check after the latest round of windows updates and foxhole update?

[wild shell]

I also tried disabling antivirus

Foxhole was on latest, windows idk

But thx

[blissful sequoia]

do you have a firewall besides the default windows one?

[mystic star]

i'm getting some pretty heavy screen tearing ingame for some reason

[ruby island]

vsync is not enabled and cannot be enabled unless you are in fullscreen mode

[thorny copper]

so I think using EST (UTC-05:00) as the time zone in the war start time is incorrect, I think it should be EDT (UTC-04:00)

EDT stands for “Eastern Daylight Time” and it's the time that is used in some parts of North America during the spring and the summer . In contrast, EST is the abbreviation of “Eastern Standard Time”, and North Americans live in accordance with it in the fall and the winter.

https://medium.com/@eslstudy24/edt-vs-est-how-to-use-est-vs-edt-correctly-dc8d813379ac#:~:text=EDT stands for “Eastern Daylight,the fall and the winter .

not sure how widely this system is used outside of the US, but we are currently observing EDT in the Eastern Time Zone (currently 9:12 AM). EST would actually be the same time we are currently observing in the Central Time Zone (CDT, which is currently 8:12 AM).

most in chat think we are starting at 12 PM EDT, not 12 PM EST

[terse flume]

I'd rather the developers use a universal time zone like GMT as to prevent confusion

aka UTC standard

[thorny copper]

Yes, the daylight savings time system in North America is very confusing at the least. UTC would be good. So war start time would be today at 4:00 PM UTC.

[terse flume]

hopefully KFC sees this, it's a lot easier to go from UTC to EST than EST to UTC

[inner basin]

@thorny copper @terse flume I've passed on your suggestions to the devs 🙂

🤔

Is this squarely a linux problem?

[lofty marlin]

not sure, but it got fixed after last client update

there was some small update, 1.22MB

[inner basin]

There was a widespread "Failed to download profile[1]" error that was fixed by the recent patch, perhaps that was it

[lofty marlin]

Well it seems that rollback of steam sockets fixed it again

That thing is still too buggy for production

[blissful sequoia]

they rolled back steam sockets again??

[lofty marlin]

See #updates

The whole SDR thing by valve is still in beta

[blissful sequoia]

not really making much forward progress

[lofty marlin]

Is there backward progress?

[timid perch]

is anyone else getting mouse lag when move your mouse around in game. it seams the fps drops or something and feels slugish

like if im driveing or just standing i get 60fps. but when i move my mouse the game drops fps in half as per the amd fps thing. normaly its solid.

[ruby island]

do you have vsync on

if so vsync tends to cause input lag

[formal lance]

@coral zinc post that in #bug-reports

[timid perch]

ill try to find that setting

[ruby island]

also what version are you on

as your gpu driver

[timid perch]

maybe its a bug in this driver

like if im aiming right click and move around no issue moving. but if i stop right click and just mouse it lags out. i checked vsinc is off.

[sly mortar]

What's your CPU hit

Oh you're on an AMD driver?

[timid perch]

14% for the game

[sly mortar]

It's probably the driver if you're on AMD

[timid perch]

ya its a new amd driver

came out last week

[sly mortar]

Okay so if you ever see the words "new", "amd", and "driver" in the same sentence, do not download whatever it's referring to

It generally takes AMD about 2 weeks to make their drivers functional and not buggy pieces of crap

[timid perch]

😄 lol oh ive had a few bad ones in january

[ruby island]

i am on the same exact driver will test out probably soon

ya there was some pretty bad ones back then

[timid perch]

also if i move my mouse slowly it seams smooth its only when i move fast across the screen it jerks

choppy like

[sly mortar]

Do you have mouse smoothing on

[timid perch]

i just checked enhanced pointer was off

going to try turning it on

[ruby island]

you dont want that thing on

trust me in games it screws you up

tho does this effect apply to windows as well

like moving around a window fast

does it lag behind

[timid perch]

not that i noticed only in the game

[ruby island]

hmm because i have had strange effects where everything on my screen gets delayed by close to a second

[timid perch]

like when i right click its smooth on aiming its odd

[ruby island]

a reboot usually fixed it

[timid perch]

ill try another reboot

😄

[ruby island]

well i am about to launch the game

[timid perch]

maybe a full pull the power cord out just in case

[ruby island]

na reboot is fine

no need to do that

well i see they still havent fixed you being able to enable vsync in windowed mode

annoying

[sly mortar]

This is still sounding like CPU overload

And / or GPU overload

[ruby island]

i got slight stutters when i move my camery

but seems to be fine now

wish there is a hud for windows that showed frame timings like linux

[ruby island]

you actually have a more powerful cpu then me

i only have the 2600

[timid perch]

odd the game was running solid at 75% when im playing no issue on gpu. the moment i move my mouse the gpu dropped that big drop showen there

[ruby island]

you also have a more powerful gpu then me

[timid perch]

im going to try to resinstall the game

[ruby island]

can you show me what you have enabled for the graphics tab of redeon settings

clicking the settings button in the top left

the only thing i have enabled is anti lag

[timid perch]

ive tried deissabling that all

[ruby island]

try disabling game mode for windows that is known to cause stutters in games

with specific gpus

[timid perch]

kk i did double check its not recording in the background ill try to find that setting

[ruby island]

type game mode in the windows search bar for settings

[timid perch]

ill try that too

had to leave blemish im honking to much

ide say it seams smoother now might have been that

[ruby island]

most likely

you can download msi after burner and enable the frame timing overlay to verify if there is any dips

[timid perch]

thanks

[timid perch]

btw. i just did a reinstall of the game and its smooth pefect now

gpu is no longer dropping when i move my mouse in game. could have been the windows thing could have been a patch bug but when in doubt reinstall software should have tried that first lol

[ruby island]

its probably the windows game mode

[timid perch]

one way to find out ill turn it back on

back on seams smooth still

no gpu drops

[ruby island]

hmm

idk

its probably best to keep it off tho

[blissful sequoia]

game does indeed feel .. glitchy with the mouse, something has changed

[ruby island]

its actually fine for me

felt the same

only one little dip when i first loaded in when moving my camera around

maybe its something to do with that may 2020 update

i am still on 1903 as i dont trust microsoft enough to update yet

[polar marlin]

no changes for me so far

[south spire]

Is Dx10 already fixs yet ?

[ruby island]

nope

[limber roost]

Im not getting any VC in only foxhole

I changed settings reconnected to vc and even uninstalled and reinstalled

But still cant hear my teamates

[sly mortar]

@celest willow what's your budget?

[celest willow]

Hmm. I'm looking to spend R$5000 in everything. Including Windows, monitors and shit.

So about 1k USD.

[sly mortar]

Doesn't brazil have a massive import tax

So PC parts are more expensive

[celest willow]

The prices in brazilian sites already include these taxes.

[sly mortar]

Ah

Getting everything, including monitors and stuff for below 1K is hard

Mostly because monitors are expensive

[celest willow]

I guess I could go cheap in them at least. I want at least a good PC box. I can tolerate a TV monitor and a 2 dollars mouse. Haha

That being said, let's focus this 1k in the PC only.

[sly mortar]

yeaah

Okay

Are you willing to buy a suspiciously cheap copy of windows

or do you have a PC with windows 10 which you can move over to the new one

[celest willow]

Original Windows. Multilanguage. I plan into upgrading.

[sly mortar]

[celest willow]

Also I deal with other languages so...

So far I have this list here:
CPU - AMD Ryzen 5 2600 3.4GHz 6-Core
GPU - Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1650 4GB OC
Motherboard - Gigabyte GA-AB350-GAMING 3 ATX AM4

[sly mortar]

Change the Ryzen to a Ryzen 5 3600 3.6GHz 6-Core

~$15 more, but way higher performance

[celest willow]

Alright.

[sly mortar]

How much does the Gigabyte GeForce GRX 1650 SUPER 4 GB OC Video Card cost in Brazil compared to the non SUPER version

[celest willow]

Pfff Haha

Let me check.

[sly mortar]

Additonally, that's a pretty expensive Motherboard

[celest willow]

People told me that at least the motherboard needs to be decent.

[sly mortar]

This one is good and about half the price: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/jcYQzy/msi-b450-tomahawk-max-atx-am4-motherboard-b450-tomahawk-max

[celest willow]

Still compatible?

[sly mortar]

Yee

Actually more compatible than the one you posted

Since the one you posted would need a special BIOS update (which I'm not sure exists) to be compatible with a 3rd gen Ryzen

Hard Drive or SSD

[celest willow]

Let's go with SSD.

[sly mortar]

Sata or NVMe

$30 price difference (NVMe more expensive) for a 1tb SSD

[celest willow]

What's your recommendation? I don't have much knowledge

[sly mortar]

NVMe

They're a lot faster, and they're a bit more plug and play

[celest willow]

Sure. Let's go with that.

[sly mortar]

And your motherboard has a slot for one

Okay, 1 TB sound good?

[celest willow]

More than enough honestly.

[sly mortar]

How much RAM?

8gb, 16gb?

[celest willow]

Does the price range much?

[sly mortar]

8GB would be like $30-40

16GB would be like $60-80

[celest willow]

Funnily enough my laptop has 6GB of RAM.

[sly mortar]

What even

How the fuck

[celest willow]

I guess that's where most of the price came from. And the I5.

[sly mortar]

Wait the laptop has 6GB or 16GB

What the

HOW

Why is this a thing

[celest willow]

Well that explains how I was able to open Rust.

[sly mortar]

You may want to do 16GB if you want to play stuff like Rust

[celest willow]

Sure, why not?

Although it says there I'm barely using the RAM.

[sly mortar]

Yeah, but you'll use it for games

16GB is kind of becoming the norm lately for playing most games

[celest willow]

Eh. I guess I don't want to fall behind.

[ruby island]

16 is the norm

trust me you want 16

my friend has 8gb in his laptop and cannot even load modded minecraft as it dips into pagefile and uses all disk

[sly mortar]

^

[celest willow]

16GB it is then.

[ruby island]

its quite a decent laptop as well

it sucks that its limited by ram

[sly mortar]

@celest willow Do you need a disk drive?

[celest willow]

It can be bought later right? Disk drives are meh.

[ruby island]

every single disk drive i have owned has started to scratch disks

[celest willow]

So for now, no.

[sly mortar]

Cool

You're able to make a Windows installation USB then?

[ruby island]

i have gone through 5 or 6 disk drives

i just dont trust them anymore

[celest willow]

I didn't even consider that. Also never knew I could install Windows with an USB.

[sly mortar]

It's pretty easy

[celest willow]

Well if it's possible, I'll do it.

[ruby island]

you can install linux too

[sly mortar]

You just need a win10 laptop / computer

[celest willow]

Yeah mine right now is using Win10. I'll use it.

[sly mortar]

Cool cool

Then.. here's a list..

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/8y6d7T

If you can get Win10 for cheaper (99% chance you can somewhere, may be a bit shady though), it'll be even less

@celest willow

[celest willow]

Oof. I'll see that when time comes.

Thanks for arranging that for me.

[sly mortar]

[celest willow]

Say, what do you think this PC can run?

[sly mortar]

A lot

[celest willow]

Like, do you have a rough idea of games and their graphics that it can run smoothly?

[blissful sequoia]

@sly mortar 4GB + 2GB chips

[sly mortar]

Yeah still weird @blissful sequoia

[blissful sequoia]

nah, somebody just ...upgraded it

didnt want to throw the old ram out

[sly mortar]

@celest willow Pretty much anything I can run that will be able to run

[celest willow]

That's good to hear!

[sly mortar]

I can run ARK at near max settings, Witcher 3 at max

Foxhole at max

Space engineers

[blissful sequoia]

8gb is enough for like ... any application, i cant imagine running out of ram with that unless youve got something else open, even then it will swap

[sly mortar]

Most newer games these days are recommending 16GB

With 8 as the necessary amount

You'll be able to play foxhole at max settings if you want @celest willow

Easily

[blissful sequoia]

that doesnt make sense to me, i would guess a modern good video card is 4G ram, so what is the point of all that other ram

game requirements are so unscientific

[sly mortar]

Because games need CPU ram and GPU ram

And for the most part they don't share

[blissful sequoia]

so i would say everything in video ram has a shadow in system ram

except dynamically created things... terrain and stuff

but all the textures and models, its probably doubled in system ram

but even in that case its just swapped out to hard drive because its not used often

[celest willow]

I guess you could say 8GB is the minimum in a perfect scenario?

[sly mortar]

Yes

[celest willow]

16GB would guarantee a smooth expereince even when the PC gags or you decide to open something else while you play.

[dull vigil]

Anyone know what this PHYSX - CPU on Foxhole player screen is all about please?

[sly mortar]

Huh

Send a screen shot?

@celest willow yeah pretty much that

[sly mortar]

Well

Do you have a dedicated GPU?

[dull vigil]

Yes nVidia

[sly mortar]

Right click on your desktop and open the NVIDIA Control Panel

Go to "Configure Surround, PhysX"

Where it says PhysX Settings, select your GPU as the processor instead of Auto-Select

[dull vigil]

ok done

[sly mortar]

Now restart your PC and then open Foxhole

[dull vigil]

ok

[blissful sequoia]

make sure you have the physx drivers installed

theyre default, but optional

also ... does physx work on amd?

[sly mortar]

No

PhysX is an Nvidia thing

[blissful sequoia]

nvidia has all the good APIs... its just not enough to compare performance only these days

ya know theres a lot more support for CUDA than opencl

[sly mortar]

Yup

And Nvidia drivers are normally not pieces of shit

[blissful sequoia]

eek on linux ... oof

[sly mortar]

Linux is a different story

[blissful sequoia]

but yah witnessing that UE4 update months ago and the AMD problems it caused, yah sure thats not a great example of good drivers huh

[sly mortar]

AMD has never made good drivers

[blissful sequoia]

i wonder how much value there was in amd buying radeon

[sly mortar]

Their drivers are what doesn't fall off the wall after they pour shit on it

[blissful sequoia]

im old enough to remember how good 3dfx was tho

glide was so good

[sly mortar]

yeah

[ruby island]

not really

actually the software front end to the driver is much much better

at least i dont have to sign in to update through my drivers gui front end

then you have 2 separate control panels with each different settings

its kind of a cluster fuck with nvidias user experience

and the only issues i have has was when they released the 2020 update to the drivers

after they fixed the issues caused by that update havent had any more issues since

[blissful sequoia]

the geforce experience isnt a requirement for the driver, i refuse to sign in

[sly mortar]

^

[ruby island]

well then as far as i know you have to manually download from the site every time there is a update

[sly mortar]

No

You don't have to be logged in

[ruby island]

last time i used it you had to be

couldnt even get into the application without signing in

i used it last year pretty sure it would say you have a update click on then brings up the sign in page

[sly mortar]

It just updates for me

[ruby island]

so literally you have to got to nvidias site and punch in your card every time there is a update

well thats my experience with nvidia and it was pretty trash

[blissful sequoia]

you maybe do have to make an account for legacy drivers and stuff

[ruby island]

idk thats what it bugged me about constantly

do as a result i just stopped updating the drivers

because nvidia push out so many updates it was every week "hey look there is a update login to install it automatically"

[terse flume]

My main reason for not getting an Nvidia card was their driver software

[formal tundra]

[limber roost]

Still unable to hear team and squad voice chat, anyone able to help? Ive tried to fix it a few different ways and none have worked

[ruby island]

so you have tried fixing vivox files as well as changing dns servers

[hazy gulch]

how come it only gives you three options on your input/output device list

[ruby island]

because thats what enabled in your windows sound control panel

but you shouldnt touch the ones in game it will mess some stuff up

you should just leave it at system default then set your system default to desired input and output

[junior pivot]

Is there a way to request getting a vehicle unstuck or is it just chalked up to my fault for getting it stuck? Np either way

[sly mortar]

@junior pivot Try the !unstuck command in-game

[junior pivot]

ah thanks, it says it'll execute in 119s so should I just stay in the vehicle until it's counted down?

[sly mortar]

yes

[junior pivot]

Cool thanks

I'll screenshot anyway so I can ask you guys don't put two buildings exactly 1 truck's length apart! 😄

Woo it worked, thanks @sly mortar!

[sly mortar]

[hidden trench]

I have a weird issue with the game. When I change my name on steam, my foxhole voice chat stops working. When I change it back it works again. Any idea what might be happening? I can replicate the issue 100% of the time with the same results

[blissful sequoia]

i have a guess.

vivox stores some file somewhere that isnt compatible with the exotic unicode characters youre using

any of that possible?

[terse flume]

Vivox supports only some characters. I remember some games using Vivox having issues with Asian languages like Chinese and Japanese

[hidden trench]

Not using any exotic characters. It’s a clan tag that I’m trying to put in my name. No one else with the same tag is having any issues

[terse flume]

wow, game must hate you

[hidden trench]

fixed the issue. for some reason pressing reconnect didn't work and not sure why it was and wasn't working when switching steam names but switching my input device to something else then back worked.

[broken zephyr]

getting "Failed to download profile[1]." can't play the game

stopped happening

[ruby island]

due to the maintenance that steam has every tuesday

[idle mural]

I see it when i start the game, i tried to reinstall but it didn't work

[terse flume]

did you delete the other folders?

AppData ones or wherever they are

[meager crystal]

Apparently my fire mode key (default F key) doesn't want to work, reloading doesn't work

[blissful sequoia]

reset your key bindings

[meager crystal]

That worked, despite changing the key previously

[blissful sequoia]

yah its known bug

hello, game does not start from steam, if i open it says playing and then nothing.

[ruby island]

@median shale have you followed the pins

[tacit sundial]

has anyone else had the problem where sometimes the game just maximizes gpu/memory usage since bicycle update? I have dealt with heavy fronts before and my game ran just fine at 60fps but now its just dying even on little stuff

I'm not familiar with how it works but I meet spec requirements and try to close other applications and yet it still has the same effect with the same amount of fps drop

[smoky grotto]

idk for me it runs as poorly as allways and i didn't see big change in tearms of fps

[blissful sequoia]

yes other people reporting that too

[terse flume]

Yes. It kills my GPU a more than RDR2

[south spire]

well right now i cant play because the bicycle update because DX10 thingy

[olive shadow]

I see it when i start the game, i tried to reinstall but it didn't work
@idle mural Are you running any mods like skaj's sound mod?

if so, try getting the latest version

[idle mural]

thanks for the help but I have already dealt with it, i just reinstall the game again and it worked.

[olive shadow]

kk

[idle mural]

help

[polar marlin]

that's usually dealt with restarting steam.

[idle mural]

thanks

[ocean silo]

People losing salvage in refineries yet?

[terse flume]

Is dead-lands updated yet on Foxhole HQ?

[terse flume]

@hot oak

[sly mortar]

Devs do not run Foxhole HQ

@livid hinge will probably know

[plucky stirrup]

Any way to change in-game name without changing steam name?

[polar marlin]

n

[terse flume]

no

In-game voice chat keeps cutting off. Anyone experiencing this issue? I need help.

[lost jungle]

Happened for me too. If you reconnect it works again but it was annoying

[random tree]

Can't hear voices of other players, tried reinstalling the game, checking my settings and all that

the only thing I can think of is some kind of voice reception setting in steam but I can't find such a setting

[drifting ocean]

all voice chat is through VIVOX, Steam has pretty much nothing to do with voice

there are a few things you can try in the channel pinned msgs.

[random tree]

I may be uber dumb but I don't see this error anywhere online

[sly mortar]

@random tree Go to settings > Voice and press "reconnect"

[random tree]

Ive done that a few times now
