My deployment map is completely empty, as can be seen there:

#

But today I can't seem to find a deployment point

fluid iris
#

I crash whenever I press P

#

DrD device not found or something

#

anyone else having this problem?

craggy gazelle
#

When you press P you take a high quality screenshot which freeze your screen for a few seconds

inner basin
#

@zenith osprey Can you DM me your latest log file located in C:\Users\[your username]\AppData\Local\Foxhole\Saved\Logs

#

@fluid iris Could you post the exact error message, or a screenshot of it?

lost jungle
#

Let me press P and find out

#

I survived but yeah it's taking a high res screenshot

#

So the game freezes for a few seconds

Hi, I can't switch fire mode, for example change hammer to upgrade mode, or use bayonet. "Fire mode" button doesn't work even if change from default "f" to anything else. I even reinstalled game but problem remains. What can I do?

arctic talon
#

@shadow lagoon try resetting your keybinds to default

@arctic talon Ou, that helped, thanks

fallen wigeon

could use a help

#

with voice chat,
It seems like whenever i have open the game i can see at bottom of my screen at desktop microphone popping up and closing again and voice chat is chopy as hell i don't understand anybody. This is happening only in this game and i have been using my microphone in multiple games.

fallen wigeon
#

thanks

#

once i put the microphone into the imput device everyone that speaks is laggy

#

what in the shit is this.

timber matrix
#

@fallen wigeon oh heeeey

#

didnt no u got foxhole too

#

know

fallen wigeon
#

chip

#

the fuck are you doing here lol

#

how internet is small lmao

timber matrix
#

yus

fallen wigeon
#

i just bought this game

#

no single idea what the fuck am i suppose to do.

sleek oriole
#

yo im retarded how should i revert to an older ver. of my graphic drivers cause im running an AMD card lol

timber matrix
#

maybe

fallen wigeon
#

yeah this game is fucking retarded.

#

when i look at windows settings it stops and again uses the microphone in like second delay.

#

so my microphone gets muted and unmuted if i would say it like that

#

it does not use it all the time it just uses it for one second gone one second gone one second gone

sleek oriole
fallen wigeon
#

???????????????? explain

timber matrix
fallen wigeon
#

the only fix is that i need to have opened settings for voice chat so it does not keeps switching.

sleek oriole
#

i already said i read that, the website doesnt help me at all

timber matrix
#

oh whelp

#

i'd wait for someone who can actually do tech support to come along

fallen wigeon
#

i am here for hour now

ruby island
#

@fallen wigeon the only known fix for this is to use voice meter but there is also a unconfirmed solution of disabling and reenabling the sound device you are using through windows

fallen wigeon
#

Yo this game is here for ages

ruby island
#

you can also try updating your sound drivers from the motherboards or laptops site

fallen wigeon
#

and you are telling me there is a such a huge ass bug ?

ruby island
#

they havent implemented vivox very well

#

remember this is a early access game

sleek oriole
#

any help with my problem?

ruby island
#

all you need to do is update it the issue has been solved

sleek oriole
#

ight cool

tame shale
#

can any one help with that i played like 2h ago logged of for a bit now i cant log in

timber matrix
#

Oh i had that problem

#

open the game through the steam app is what i did to fix

tame shale
#

oh ok

#

Worked thanks buddy o7

timber matrix
#

np

sleek oriole
#

updated Radeon to latest version and its still not fucking working

#

help

#

if i dont get it working im gonna refund

#

It just freezes on loading screen

echo shard
#

is there anywhere i could possibly open a support icket for my connection issue? I have gotten nowhere after asking in this chat for days

#

half the time no one replys

#

"The warservice connection failed" issue is a issue i have seen others having with no resolutions or interactions from the support/dev team. would be super helpful to get a response even if "ur fucked we dont know whats going" is the response

ruby island
#

@sleek oriole are you clicking when it fully loads

#

@echo shard and you have no anti virus of any kind potentially blocking the connection

echo shard
#

ha, no thats not the issue in the slightest. I have played fine for years but when I got to deploy on the home island there are no palces to deploy, the error "warservice connection failed is displayed

ruby island
#

open up cmd and type nslookup war-service-live.foxholeservices.com and send a screen shot of whats returned

echo shard
#

got u when im home shortly

#

thank you ! everyone else just says "lol try to reset ur internet"

sleek oriole
#

It's fine I got it working

ionic viper
fallen wigeon
#

oh yeah it is normal at least it happens to me aswell...@ionic viper

fallen wigeon
#

I am still having no single idea why this game

#

Or application

#

Just does not normaly use the microphone like a normal applocation would do.

#

Instead if i check the windows settings of which app uses microphone it just keeps flickering on the fox hole on off

#

Making voice chat laggy. Garbage.

blissful sequoia
#

it is garbage. that being said, ya know please share with us your aidio card model and the driver version. everyone who has this problem complains, but when i ask for any detailed information they just go silent

#

its literally been a year of this, nobody with technical ambition ever seems to get this problem

ruby island
#

still dont know if updating drivers work or not

#

updating or reinstalling drivers seems to fix no input devices for realtek audio cards

#

so potentially could fix this issue

#

dont think i will ever know the answer to that question

dim cipher
#

HELP

#

my voice chat doesn't work anymore, stopped yesterday

guys how you can play with that disgusting screen tearing??? fullscreen + vsync on not fixing it

inner basin
#

VSync really ain't working for you then partner @fathom hamlet

#

Screenshot your settings?

ruby island
#

just launch obs it forces vsync

#

no idea why or how but it does

Hey, I'm having an issue logging in. I get the message "Failed to download profile[1]" when attempting to join the game.

#

<@&213133977681264640>

fathom hamlet
#

@inner basin nothing special, cant really set anything.. i never had any screen tear until the devs somehow forced the FPS limit without auto vsync .. this was like 4-5 months ago

spice viper
#

Not sure if this is related, but foxhole doesn't seems to want to stop running on steam unless steam itself is closed.

dry rampart
#

Is there a reason I randomly get disconnects when I tab out during loading or just load a different screen, it’s hard to play logi when you are booted randomly and forced to restart the game

sly mortar
#

@spice viper Restart steam to fix the failed to download profile

ruby island
#

@fathom hamlet ya vsync cannot be turned on in full screen borderless or windowed mode you must enter full screen turn it on then enter full screen borderless or windowed mode and it only lasts till you enter another region then you must do the trick again or alternatively install obs and just open it during gameplay which will force vsync to be enabled

#

Hey, I'm having an issue logging in. I get the message "Failed to download profile[1]" when attempting to join the game.
@spice viper i had that problem, my solution was to open Fxhole through the steam app

hearty timber
#

So I'm playing on Arch Linux and running the game via Proton. Twice now I've had the game visuals freeze and all input stop working but audio continues to play (including voice), not even opening a TTY would do anything.
Anyone got any ideas what is causing this or what I can do about it? Forcing a shutdown every time is getting annoying

@sand osprey Do you know what model of GPU you have?

sand osprey
#

No gpu but many days ago ı can play it well nearly 40 fps (play able)

ruby island
#

Your gpu needs to support feature level 11_0 in order to play the game when update 36 was released that was changed

#

So before update 36 you could have played

edgy dune
clear iris
#

What is DirectX 11 and how do I know if my graphics card is compatible with it?

ruby island
#

your graphics card needs to support feature level 11_0 not just directx 11

#

if you are on windows 8+ you can find your graphics card by opening up task manager and going to the performance tab and scrolling down to gpu then look up the name in the top right and make sure it supports feature level 11_0 not just directx 11

@winter basalt try going to settings and reset defaults, it worked for some of my issues

Hello, I am also getting the "Failed to download profile[1]" message when trying to join the game. I disabled antivirus/firewall and re-installed the game it is still not fixed.

wooden lark
#

Hello. I just downloaded the game again after a long time, and it seems I can no longer rotate the camera while driving a vehicle. It works fine on foot though.
I tried resetting the keybinds to default, and then changing the camera rotate setting (my current mouse doesn't have a middle button), but still got the same issue. Any other steps I should try?
As I said above, it's a fresh install.

trail grove
#

does < > work?

wooden lark
#

yes the two keys to rotate on one side work fine

#

It's only the "Rotate Camera" that doesn't. Both "Rotate Camera Left" and "Rotate Camera Right" work. Never had this issue before (even with the current keybind)

terse flume
#

Rotate Camera- hold down the button and move the mouse. so that doesn't work?

wooden lark
#

exactly

#

it works on foot, but not while in a vehicle

#

actually, it only doesn't work if I'm the driver. I can rotate like that if i'm a passanger, just tested it

analog sorrel
#

guys how does prototyping work...

#

Ive made the stupid thing, taken it to a mass production, got it as a crate. now what?

inner basin
#

wait... a crate of what?

#

@analog sorrel

analog sorrel
#

its a light tank prototype

inner basin
#

Submit it into the Storage Depot

analog sorrel
#

kk and then i can pull it out as a tank?

inner basin
#

uhhhhh you in game right now?

analog sorrel
#

yee

inner basin
#

There are two different options

timber matrix
#

Hello, I am also getting the "Failed to download profile[1]" message when trying to join the game. I disabled antivirus/firewall and re-installed the game it is still not fixed.
@stiff quiver Open using steam app

inner basin
#

Ok so when you go up to Storage Depot, and unload the crate of light tank, store it in the depot. then navigate the storage depot UI to right click the light tanks that are stored

#

Because technically you have to "unpack" the crate of vehicles in order to actually pull them out to use

honest lion
#

Already restarted steam, its probably related to this update

stiff quiver
#

@timber matrix Yea I tried to join through steam too didin't work. I even re-installed steam but I still get the same failed to download profile message.

timber matrix
#

The heck, okay then. Maybe your using the devseever? I only had the issue again when i tried to join the dev server

#

frigid sand
#

Hello, I'm having trouble with voice chat, when people talking I can see the speaker icon popping up but can't hear anything at all.

terse flume
#

@frigid sand update your audio drivers/firmware

#

force update if necessary

hearty timber
#

@stiff quiver Are you on Linux? If so make sure to use the latest version of Proton (can be set in the game's Steam Settings)

stiff quiver
#

I use windows 8.1

dry rampart
#

I get the same error when my internet flickers in and out and I’m a laptop 8.1

#

Seems to be a connection related issue that breaks the profile

ruby island
#

if it happens just because of a outage then all you need to do is restart steam

#

if it happens after a restart of steam its probably an anti virus or something else blocking the connection

hey can somebody mabye help me with this if its possibal? all my friends are on the other teams so i cant play with them can i change team?

you have to have hardware that supports it

Reverted back to 19.11 drivers, tried copying that .dll file in the game folder and still crashes on launch. Any thoughts?

still comet
#

Hello, i have kinda big problem with starting a game. When i try to open foxhole I have "preforming first time setup Installing Microsoft VC Redist Package" Then it shows that te game is running, and seconds later it disapear and nothing happens.

eager zinc
#

do both actuallly

swift lark
#

@eager zinc Got any tips for crashes on launch?

eager zinc
swift lark
#

I'm running AMD.

#

Already went back to the 19.11 drivers and still didn't help. Weird thing is that it was running fine 2 days ago, only thing I did was reinstall Mozilla then it stopped launching.

eager zinc
#

update drivers remove overclock and use "fan speed default", remove msi afterburner (or similar)

swift lark
#

You think it could be the overclocking causing problems?

still comet
#

@eager zinc sadly, still nothing 😦

swift lark
#

It's been stable with everything else, still ran okay 2 days ago with the overclock.

ruby island
#

@swift lark amd has fixed the issue after 20.1.2 make sure you are passed that version and read the latest pinned message under the Game Fails to Start With No Error section

#

@still comet go to the location you have foxhole and go to this directory Engine\Extras\Redist\en-us and run the setup

#

@rain scarab can you try changing your dns servers

swift lark
#

All I see for that section is reverting back to an older version, unless I'm missing something.

ruby island
swift lark
#

Thanks! The C++ updates solved it.

then try starting the game

upbeat atlas

Can't find anything regarding my issue, most of it is old and doesn't work (from like 2017). I can't rotate my camera at all in-game. It's just stuck at the default camera angle. I tried remapping my key to something else thinking it was a a mouse issue (since I thought my middle click is messed), it wasn't though. I tried other buttons and nothing works. Anyone have a clue what this could be? And if there's a fix?

ruby island
#

reset them to default

#

then change the key bind

For about last 24 hours can't connect to the voice chat (rest works flawlessly). Getting error codes: [6] 3-1001 on joining, [8] 6-0 later.
Dumped my network traffic - seems like problem with resolving Vivox's server name (receiving response with IPv4, one supposed to contain IPv6 has zero answers; https://imgur.com/a/bfbbWC9).

Seems to be problem with DNS of ISP. Any ideas what else it could be?

ruby island
#

vivox doesnt offer connections through ipv6 as far as i know

#

so dns wouldnt respond with a ip to connect using ipv6

still comet
#

@ruby island I'm home now, and still the same situation :/

ruby island
#

did you restart your pc

still comet
#

Yea

#

Kinda weird, i was playing this game like 2 years ago and it was doing perfect

ruby island
#

have you tried re running the downloaded c++ exe

still comet
#

Yes, same thing

ruby island
still comet
#

done

#

and c++ doesnt work

#

game still hates me

ruby island
#

now can you restart and use the sfc command again

quartz trellis
#

vivox doesnt offer connections through ipv6 as far as i know
@ruby island Makes sense. Therefore problems with chat seem even stranger.

#

Switching from ISP DNS to public ones also didn't help.

ruby island
#

what is returned when you open up a command prompt and type nslookup mt1p.www.vivox.com

quartz trellis
#

Non-authoritative answer:
Name: mt1p.www.vivox.com
Address: 74.201.103.215

  • info about my router
#

As earlier I mentioned - IPv4 resolves correctly

ruby island
#

well dns isnt the issue as thats the correct ip

quartz trellis
#

What's more strange - I can't access vivox's website (and few, but realy few) others

ruby island
#

the vivox site resolves to a different ip

#

do you get a response if you ping the vivox site

quartz trellis
#

Nope

#

Im only getting timeouts, just like in browser

ruby island
quartz trellis
#

Resolves like mt1p

#

Mistake

#

.251

ruby island
#

hmmm you seem to have some sort of program or possibly your isp blocking or having issues

#

type this tracert www.vivox.com

quartz trellis
#

I suspect some higher level ISP issues, as last 24 hours many people in my country reported lots of failures of various ISPs

#

Yeah, trace route gets timed out pretty quickly

ruby island
#

tracert should show the route it takes and shouldnt time out instantly

quartz trellis
#

It times out after 3rd router

#

Checking now whose it is

ruby island
#

usually the first 4 are within the isps network

quartz trellis
#

Ik, even not so long ago had to remember all that tools

ruby island
#

you can try a vpn

#

if some traffic is accepted maybe its some sort of filter

quartz trellis
#

trace route finally ended and yeah. After 2 hops couldn't reach anything before timing out

#

Maybe it's just a fallout after some attack on routing tables?

lime gate
#

the game keeps changing the settings back to ultra

#

why is it doing this, I change it and save it then it just changes it right back

#

and then it lags out because it's on insane settings

ruby island
#

are you sure you are hitting apply and not just back

quartz trellis
#

Just to make sure - run tracert for google.com, in few hops reached regional cache server. So it is not like ISP blocks tracert.

ruby island
#

well they cant block tracert unless they forbid sending from their nodes which wouldnt make any sense to do

quartz trellis
#

Yeah, just wanted to make sure that I can tracert anything that works

ruby island
#

i would say its just some sort of filter they added or something i would say try a vpn as all your traffic is encrypted and they cannot block specific addresses or whatever filter they have

quartz trellis
#

It's not a matter of payload filter - since trace route failed. If something - then it must be address based

ruby island
#

well if the packet is put through a filter of some kind and it decided not to send the packet anywhere else it would just time out the rest of the hops

quartz trellis
#

Rather not a filter

#

Merely seconds ago part of domains that didn't work started responding + voice chat after few retries connected

ruby island

well there you go

terse flume
#

I gotta ask, i don't know where to ask about this but i've heard things and seen things - notably, i've discovered you can aim further at the corners of the screen - and i've also found that in game if i have it in windowed and resize my window, you can also see further if it gets big enough - wouldn't this mean people with 4K screens would have a huge advantage? Is this an actual problem, and if so, are there plans to solve it somehow? Being able to aim futher at the corners of the screen also is a little odd, so, wouldn't it be possible to fix that by having the screen move proportionally further in a circle based on the height and width of the screen or something? I'm no game dev but i have to ask just in case.

Hi, i've read the technical read first channel and cant seem to find anything that works for my friends issue. He is having an issue where the game doesn't launch from steam. He has reinstalled 3 times, verified game cache, restarted his pc, updated and also reverted gpu drivers, changed install drive and yet the game still won't launch. Has anyone got any more options we can try to maybe get his game working?

#

I feel like i didn't explain exactly what happens. He clicks play on steam and the button says playing for about half a second and then reverts back to saying play straight away.

Got something weird going on that I can't pin down. When I launch the game its like any time the game is in focus I can't actually interact with anything the whole game freezes. But when I go out of focus the world becomes animated and people are moving around and I can look by mousing over the screen, but the moment I click into Foxhole it locks up again.

Getting a weird bug where I can't hear any voice chat - people can hear me, but I can't hear them. I've confirmed this in game by asking people to use their mic when it's just me and them to see if 1. they can hear me and 2. whether I can hear them and it seems like they can hear me but I can't hear them. I've cleared cache, reinstalled, made sure all audio settings are correct and made sure I am on Google's DNS. Can anyone help with this issue?

@terse flume i had your problem for a while, and I thought all sound my settings were good. Turns out that my audio "output" in the "voice" settings was set to the wrond audio device. I thought it to have been good cuz I could hear other ingame sounds, but ig voice and other sounds are processed differently

@terse flume weapons have a limited effective range, any shots past the range will do minimal damage (and I do mean minimal damage). Corner shooting will enable you to see further, however you damage output will be limited by the effective range

Just like Feels I still get the "Lost connection to server. Please try again. If the problem persists, please try refreshing the server lists" error thingy, anyone knows a fix for it?

runic remnant
#

@chrome gate I did a fresh reinstall and paused my antivirus, and it solved at least one of my other problems (game freezing when I exited). Still haven't been able to log in tho, most of suggestions I've seen are 1) keep trying till it works 2) make sure the steam port aren't being blocked by your antivirus or router

#

Both of them dont really work unless Im missing something

ruby island
#

@runic remnant can you send the result of nslookup war-service-live.foxholeservices.com and nslookup s3.amazonaws.com

runic remnant
#

Where do I find that?

ruby island
#

run those commands in cmd

#

forgot to write that

#

Kk 👌

runic remnant
#

@ruby island I'm still a bit confused, is this something I type in launch options via steam or a site?

ruby island
#

open up command prompt and type them

Oh lol my b

this way is easier then getting you to change your dns server and guessing if it works

Hi Foxy, this issue has been happening for a few days, it works fine on my pc but my laptop shows this issue

#

It worked the first time i ran it, i thought it might be the fact i was running my internet through mobile hotspot, however it wasn't the case as i used my home internet and it still have the same issue.

timber matrix
#

@unreal lance open the game using the steam app

#

Thats what i had to do

unreal lance
#

Launch it through steam? @timber matrix

timber matrix
#

Yeah

#

Worked for me, but someone else tried it and it didnt work

unreal lance
#

That is how i launch it

#

steam isnt the issue

#

full reinstall including wiping local files

#

updating / rolling back GPU drivers

#

completely restarting steam since the maintenance ended

ruby island
#

@runic remnant that wasnt meant to fix anything that was meant to check your dns to make sure thats not a factor

#

i said to report the result of the commands

runic remnant
#

Ah, well both were connected. Checked again and it still seems like thats the case rn

#

When I did it last, I logged into steam and I saw foxhole updating. Assumed that was related

unreal lance
#

@terse flume I gave rolling back the gpu driver but no luck, reinstalled windows and that did the trick lol

blissful sequoia
#

weird question, but are you doing anything with bluetooth?

terse flume
ruby island
#

potentially

as modified pak files can be used to cheat

storm current
#

Hello, after playing the game for awhile, a crash occurs and a dialog with the message "Fatal Error" is displayed. I have this in logs : Display: Failed to find resolution value strings in scalability ini. Falling back to default.

ruby island
#

thats unrelated to the crash

#

can you send the crash log

storm current
#

Oh okay :/

#

Yes

ruby island
#

well the log seems to just cut off so thats not helpful

#

can you verify your files

storm current
#

Okay i do it, thanks for your help

#

"All files succesfully validated"

ruby island
#

hmmm can you delete and reinstall

storm current
#

Okay

#

But I have done it several times and it doesn’t solve the problem :/

ruby island
#

hmm can you run sfc /scannow in an admin command prompt

storm current
shy crypt
ruby island
#

@storm current can you run this in admin cmd Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth then run the sfc command after

#

@shy crypt na thats all config files you are fine

shy crypt
#

@ruby island just making sure

ruby island
#

ya vac works on external code possibly changing memory and causing unexpected outcomes changing config files is within the game and doesnt count as changing memory from external programs

#

not a good explanation but it gets the point across

shy crypt
#

well good enough for me

storm current
#

@ruby island

ruby island
#

well the easiest way to fix that would be to update windows to the newer version but if you dont want to do that you need to download a windows iso of the same build and pipe it into dism to fix those issues

storm current
#

Okay thanks, but I'm already to the newer version of windows. So I think I need to download a windows iso of the same build.

Hey, is there any reason for the family sharing to be disabled, and will it come back? Sorry if there is a better place to ask this

timber matrix
#

@terse flume family sharing has been disabled due to concerns over alts accounts, disabling family share is thought to have lessened the amount of alts so it probably will not come back. Hope this helps

terse flume
#

Ok thank you!

storm current
#

@ruby island Thanks, it's downloaded

ruby island
#

well all i can say is what other people say about VAC no cheating = no ban we truly dont know if it will be flagged as if VAC detects some form of unexpected behavior valve engineers review the code that is ran on your pc and if they discover some sort of cheat they will flag it

#

any more details then that about VAC is mostly hidden to prevent hackers from bypassing it too easy

blissful sequoia
#

not a big fan of valve engineers having access to my computer outside of this game...

#

but itll be good to have some fairness in-game

quiet granite
#

I think VAC will have an overall minimal effect. We need a better report system, i.e. not be capped to 3 per day with a huge cooldown inbetween

barren hamlet
#

shackled Shasm is so laggy, nobody can move, there is a lot of rubber banding, a restart is required

plain gale
#

I cant be deployed. When I enter the game in the upper-left corner, an error appears. Just bought the game, I don't know what to do

ruby island
#

@plain gale can you run the command Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth in an admin command prompt

#

followed by sfc /scannow

#

and report what both say

#

@storm current i forgot to actually help you plug that iso into dism sorry

#

@storm current basically what you need to do is mount the iso by double clicking it and run this command Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:esd:Full Path to install.esd file:1 changing the path to the full path of the install.esd located in the sources folder of mounted iso and changing the 1 to a 6 if you have pro

Translate:The Windows resource protection program detected corrupted files and successfully
I restored them.

windir\Logs\CBS\CBS.log. For Example, C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log. Detailed information
included in the log file provided by the /OFFLOGFILE flag.

ruby island
#

ah ok can you restart your pc and try to deploy in the game

plain gale
#

Oka

storm current
#

@ruby island Hi, no problem ^^. Okay but I have a problem with the command :/

ruby island
#

You must replace that with the full path

#

Most likely F:/sources/install.esd

storm current
#

@ruby island For me it’s E:, so it has to be E:/sources/install.esd but where do I place it ? :c

#

I tried that but it doesn’t work, I don’t know if that’s the right thing to do.

ruby island
#

So the command would be Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:esd:E:/sources/install.esd:1 but remember if you have pro you must replace the 1 at the end with 6

storm current
#

Okay thanks I try that. I've Home so I think it's 1.

ruby island
#

Yes 1 is home

storm current
ruby island
#

I hate windows

#

Try booting into safe mode and running the SFC command

storm current
#

Me too xD

#

Okay

ruby island
#

Hold shift and hit restart

#

Then go trouble shoot > advanced options > startup settings > restart > then hit 4 on your keyboard

#

Then once it's loaded run SFC

storm current
ruby island
#

Hmmmm

#

Maybe the reboot fix it

#

Try and see if the game crashes

storm current
#

Okay, i will play

ruby island
#

Well if it crashes now then we know the integrity of windows and game files is not a factor then we will look at your gpu drivers

storm current
#

Okay

#

I hope it's fixed :c

#

@ruby island Anyway, thank you so much for your help ^^

ruby island
#

Yeet

storm current
#

After 16 minutes of play.

#

#

ruby island
storm current
ruby island
#

Can you do a factory install or whatever they call it

storm current
#

Okay

storm current
ruby island
#

The factory install should uninstall reboot and launch the installer automatically

storm current
ruby island
#

Now can you see if the game crashes

storm current
#

Okay I will play

storm current
#

@ruby island Again crash, 20 minutes of play :/

ruby island
#

Can you open up disk cleanup and select your c drive once it's loaded click clean up system files and reselect your c driver and once it's loaded unselect everything and only select directx shader cache then hit ok and delete

storm current
#

@ruby island It's done

ruby island
#

Now start the game and see if it crashes

#

If it does I am out of ideas

#

Your software seems perfect

#

Potentially a hardware issue

#

Hello. When war 60 started I was in the Colonial Home Region waiting for the war to restart, when it did I got a loading screen that said "Server Resetting" and pressed the option "Deploy to home region". We were then taken back to the Home Region as Colonials. My friend did the exact same thing as I did, but when he logged out from the Home Region he got the faction option and chose Wardens. I was not given a choice like he was when I logged out from Home Region and Im now stuck as Colonials. All my friends are playing Wardens, thus making the game unplayable for me seeing as I dont want to play alone. Is there any way for me to be able to play as Wardens during this war?

hi i just reinstalled the game a few days ago after a hiatus form it. wow a lot has changed. But anyway, ever since i started playing again for whatever reason, the action that by defult corrisponds with the F key, hasn't worked for me. It's the "switch firing modes" action, but it serves as the "raise/lower ramp" for barges, and "deploy/undeploy" for cranes, none of which i've been able to do. It makes it impossible for me to provide logi to island based areas since i can't ever go anywhere cuz the barg ramp won't raise/lower for example. And i also can't witch firing modes for the storm rifles. Anyone know how i can fix this? I've tried remapping to varies other keys, to which it didn't work for those keys either. And i tried verifying game files in steam jsut in case. No luck. anyone else have this issue?

#

i just met some other guy in game who was having the same issue. Could deploy a crane he built for me (since i couldn't deploy it i was hoping he could) but no luck for him either.

@steel stratus you just need to reset keys to default, even if they are currently at the default mapping. That should fix it.

"However, installing the Visual C++ 2015 redistributable will not replace the newer versions of the files installed by the Visual C++ 2017 and 2019 redistributables."

hence the _1.dll part

sly mortar
#

I think they're on 2019 at this point

#

Wouldn't surprise me if they weren't though

blissful sequoia

people keep linking the 2015 binaries, which wouldnt include the 2017 and 2019 ones, although it has the same 2015 runtime as the new install package, i think that is confusing people

Yeah, dunno why Microsoft decided to combine all 3 into one package, and then still offer the binaries separately

to cover all bases, they did this with directx for like a decade

so long story short, i dont think theyre installing the vc runtime they need with the link people have been passing around

Hello, I don't know if this is the right place to put this, but I am having issues with rotating my screen. The problem is that I can't even rotate it at all. When I press the middle mouse button and move the mouse around, the tracer for the mouse stays still while not rotating the screen. I have already tried to change the key for it, but nothing yet. Anyone got an idea?

Hi I have an issue on Linux (Arch Linux). I'm playing through Proton and I can't alt tab the game. I tried changing the game mode from fullscreen to windowed without any result. Whenever I alt tab, the screen turn black for 1-2 seconds, then returns to the game. Pressing the Windows button on the keyboard displays the start menu on the left but no bottom bar where I can select for example Discord. It looks like the game doesn't let any program get on top of it and it's always displayed as the top program even if you open many of them. Any solution?

@unborn talon make sure the games up to date your using the right version, and if it comes to this verify files

usually when that happens i just have to toggle the steam overlay

ill try verifying

give that a shot and wait for the "LIVE" dropdown button to show up at the top right

You have this problem before?

no, first time

Was fine logging in all the other times

?

ye a few hours ago it was fine

nimble mauve
#

Close steam im guessing

#

Thats a last resort for me

unborn talon
#

Didnt work... thanks for trying

nimble mauve
#

Check for the fire wall then

#

Maybe your pc or connection hates foxhole

restarting your PC fixes more problems than it should 😄

@nimble mauve You are the best firewall that can be found out there. Get rid of Avast and all that stuff, it's eating more resources than needed for stuff that even Windows Defender can do. You'll be safe for as long as you decide to not take any risk.

#

Most downloadable firewalls tend to generate false positives even for games that use libraries or other system services.

I'm not sure where exactly I should report this, but I have a problem with the size of the interface. I have a 4k monitor, and at maximum resolution I found two elements that are not working correctly. The first example is information from binoculars with distance and azimuth. At 1920x1080 everything works fine, but at 4k resolution this information becomes too small. It is almost impossible to distinguish something against a light background without bending over to the monitor. The second example shows the maximum approximation of the map. At 1920x1080 everything works fine, but with 4k resolution the map becomes too small even at maximum zoom, and icons make it difficult to see roads and other things.

check if your using the right server

Hey all, so I'm running an ancient ATI Radeon HD 3470 card (made in 2008 lol). When I go to launch the game I receive an engine error stating that "You need DirectX 11 level 10.0 to run the engine". Something along those lines.
I have checked my DirectX versions (by running dxdiag and I have level 10_1, 10_0 and older in my featured lists. So, although my card is ancient is should be able to support 10.0 right? It's in the feature list afterall. Any help with getting around this issue?

P.S. My graphics drivers are up to date

sly mortar
#

That's actually a bug with UE4

#

That error message should be saying "You need DirectX 11 Level 11.0 to run the engine"

#

But pretty much you're fucked

#

@hardy geode

hardy geode
#

Rip. Thanks.

sly mortar
#

UE4 updated.. like 3ish months ago to use some of the newer features allowed by DX11, and many older cards don't have the capability to run those features at all.

#

It's an issue of incompatability at the hardware / firmware level, not driver level

hardy geode
#

I see. Thank you. 👍

So, a couple nights ago I had no problem playing the game. Ran fine. Today I hop on and I’ve been rubberbanding once I spawn in. I ran a speed test and my ping is low, all network speeds are high. I could hear voices and see everyone else just fine. However I would rubberband beyond control after I deployed. Any ideas?

I need help. My news is not displayed in the main menu. Then, when I go to my home region, I don't see spawn points. My current squad is also not displayed like any other squads. Then if I go to the main menu and again try to enter my home region, I am offered to choose a faction. The day before yesterday everything was fine and I have not had any problems with the game for a couple of years.

in the chat I received such a message. "connection to foxhole services is limited. some features will be disabled"

#

Every time I close foxhole it gets frozen with no way to close it, and voice chat still active. The process is not in my task manager and closing any process with the foxhole logo doesn't work.

If I instead of closing the game when I'm done I just end the process, steam still detects it as on and I can't log in again (failed to download profile) until I restart the computer. Again, no foxhole process, and closing anything with a logo does nothing. Restarting steam does nothing.

Hello, I just found about the game yesterday which is really odd how I missed the game that looks this awesome :)
I would like to ask what are the future plans for servers scalability do you plan so support thousands of players? ( heard 75vs75 is current max per zone)

terse flume
#

How the devs describe it, they plan of increasing the amounts of players. Just not to, thousands of players fighting in one frontline, but player count will definitely be increased, too hoe much? I don’t know @forest comet

forest comet
#

nice

#

is there any trello board or something for future plans and updates ?

terse flume
#

I don’t know, might wanna watch some of the dev streams, possibly watch the ones from the last six months, and go in order

#

It’s mostly just them throwing hints and plans in their dev streams

arctic talon
#

the devs are working on tech that would allow them to put thousand of players in a really small playable area, but they have no intentions of using this technology on Foxhole

terse flume
#

Ye

#

They said possibly in future game’s

#

The developers intend in this game to host all 23 regions on a single, border less server.

terse flume
#

Which will probably never happen If we’re being totally honest

lost jungle
#

Yeah that's never happening

#

The best is they disguise the loading screen better

terse flume
#

is there a faster way to load shells into a tank than dumping the crate in a base and taking the shells out one by one? ive used a truck to do 3 at a time but its still super slow and tedious, especially when you got like 60 shells to load. theres gotta be something faster surely?

#

also, this is right place to ask right? wasnt sure

terse flume
#

This isn’t really the best place to ask, but I guess just get randoms to help you, if there is a storage depot nearby, you can simply Right click on the cargo containers in the depo, and uncrate them @terse flume

Hey, I'm currently getting a connection error

cloud scroll
#

Hmm... I have a question regarding how the chat works. Are some special letters/characters not allowed by the game?
Basically, I wanted to write a ž (alt+z, in a custom keyboard layout) while selecting a squad name, but nothing was written. I tried ctrl+v'ing along with a word, but everything except it was pasted. Trying to use a ż (alt+z, Polish keyboard layout) in the normal chat only outputs nothing in the chat and this nothing can be actually posted. Interestingly, some Polish characters (ć - ctrl+c, ó - ctrl+o, ę - ctrl+e) are perfectly fine, while others (ż - ctrl+z, ź - ctrl+x, ł - ctrl+l, ą - ctrl+a) only come out as nothing.
I've also noticed that alt allows you to move your character while the textbar is open, could this interfere in some way? Or maybe the ingame keybinds do?

severe crescent
#

yes foxhole doesn't support some characters due to front changes

what would happen to the map if 3000 more people would buy the game? would the 2nd war open?
@forest comet no, they'd temporarily allocate more server space to the game until it either plateaus or dies down

#

ye, but the nodes don't support more than 75 players on each side ?

That's more of a rumor than a fact. They supported the 2k playercount after the update.

are there any plans for "Nvidia Game Filters" ?

You can see even further with 1:1

is this game seriously locked at 60fps?

#

can nvidia 3d profiles or anything fix it?

#

the smearyness of everything while running around is going to give me eyestrain, I can feel it

quiet granite
#

It's locked because people were abusing the file that caps it to do other stuff like give you a much bigger FOV so you could see people from way further away than intended.

#

The Devs are yet to address the FPS cap issue

empty your recycle bin

#

delete the hibernation.sys file in windows

paper mantle
#

ive already installed all my games except for foxhole through steam

ive already gone to add remove programs and removed stuff there too - maybe im missing stuff but nothing is left over 1gb

I already emptied bin

I already tried to defrag but i dunno if i did it right, i have an SSD

uhhh reduce the page disk (?) size, need to look into that more

paper mantle
#

hibernation.sys ty ill try that now

inner basin
#

WAIT DONT DELETE IT @paper mantle

paper mantle
#

uninstalled* tyat was a typo i made up there

inner basin
#

let me check first

#

Instead of deleting the hibernation file, disable hibernation feature

#

Go to Power settings in control panel > change what the power buttons do

paper mantle
#

looking or that now

#

wait so do i delete it or reduce it

inner basin
#

Reduce PAGE FILE
DISABLE Hibernation

paper mantle
#

by reduce page file, you mean go to the administrator command prompt and type "powercfg -h off" right?

sly mortar
#

no

paper mantle
#

pretend you are talking to a 12 year old please ❤️

sly mortar
#

powercfg -h off will delete the system file required for quick wake up

paper mantle
#

hey my fellows in CL said you were really good at what you do Icanari, glad to see u here

#

so what SHOULD i do instead?

sly mortar
#

What do you need 11 GB for?

paper mantle
#

conan exiles new update

sly mortar
#

@paper mantle how much RAM do you have

paper mantle
#

how do i know how much ram do I have, are you talking about how many GB? My SSD is 256

sly mortar
#

Go to Task Manager then click "Performance" then "Memory"

inner basin
#

Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc for task manager

paper mantle
#

okay Forker you said to type in CMD.exe, then type in the powercfg -h off thing and hit enter, im ready to do that now but i thought someone else said not to, maybe im misunderstanding

#

i should go ahead and type into Administrator command prompt "powercfg -h off" ?

inner basin
#

that's correct, what Forker said

sly mortar
#

wait on doing that until you say how much ram you have

paper mantle
#

kk, doing it now

#

ahh, ok ill wait

inner basin
#

ok icanari leaving this to you

sly mortar
#

because the size of that file is dependent on how much RAM you have, so it may not be worth it

paper mantle
#

gotcha, so how do i check my RAM

#

ohhh u said alreayd my bad

sly mortar
#

To check how much RAM you have,

  1. Open task manager through Ctrl + Shift + Esc
  2. Go to the performance tab
  3. Go to memory, it will tell you in the top right of that page
paper mantle
#

im there and

#

top right of that page says 8

#

8.0 GB

sly mortar
#

alright, so deleting that would get you 6 GB of storage back at the cost of not having quick wakeup

paper mantle
#

i can live with that

#

so i should delete it now then?

sly mortar
#

Cool, then type that command into the command prompt

paper mantle
#

doing it now

#

i guess it did it? o.0 nothing seemed to happen

#

ive also never seen this black window on my computer before, the administrator command prompt. I wouldn't know what it working would look like.

But i did type in the line

terse flume
#

you run it as an admin?

#

I keep getting this irql_not_less_or_equal bluescreen

Technically, this error condition indicates that a kernel-mode process or driver tried to access a memory location to which it did not have permission or at a kernel Interrupt Request Level (IRQL) that was too high.

That BSOD message means there is possibly something wrong with RAM, antivirus, or some driver is wrong.

Hey guys i need a bit of help.
After one of the updates (i belive it was 37 or some of hotfixes) ive lost my map in bottom left corner when using vehicles. (trucks).
And for first week or two, i thought devs just turned off that feature untill i found out other ppl still have that. Since im not really a loggy guy, i didnt bother with it too much, but as time progresses i found my self in wishing for that little map.
So first i tryed verifing files in steam, all cheks out. Then i actually uinstaled the game, and instaled it again, yet no map when enter vehicle.

Does anybody else have same problem, or have you heard about it, anyone know any ways i can try to fix it?
