Devblog: Foxhole Inferno

Foxhole is launching into 1.0 later this month and along with it will come Inferno, a pretty large update to the game. Before reading the rest of this post, it’s recommended that you catch up on our latest Devstream for details on the update or if you’re looking for just a very quick overview you can watch our preview video.

Dev Branch Details

If all goes well, dev branch will begin tomorrow. There will be some key differences in the way dev branch happens this time. The most important change is that Magic Boxes (tools used to spawn items) will not be available until later phases of the dev branch. This is a crucial requirement for ensuring that all the new gameplay flows with Facilities are properly exercised and bugs are found sooner rather than later.

Dev Branch Details

Dev Branch will be a bit different this time around. Due to the size and amount of changes in this update, Dev Branch will be split up into different phases. Keep in mind that the exact dates attached to these Phases are subject to change at anytime. We will also not be including Magic Boxes (tools to help players spawn items) until later phases...

Dev Branch Phase 1 Update

We are working hard to prepare for the rollout of Phase 1. As another heads up, do not expect to test all the new content in the dev branch today. As outlined in our post above, Phase 1 will only be for early tech Facilities and associated content.

What to expect

  • Play through all early tech Facilities game (Foundations, Material Factories, Coal Refinery, Oil Refinery, etc)
  • Small Gauge Trains (aka Minecart system)
  • Infantry Flamethrowers
  • Provisional roads

Our current expectation is that Dev Branch will be ready late day, but as always there may be last minute technical issues that may delay things further.🤞

Hotfix 1.50.22.10

A hotfix is rolling out. It resolves further issues with the Water Buckets and contains several other bug fixes and improvements. Please read the release notes for details.

For further context on the Water Bucket issues: After the initial feedback we received late Tuesday we attempted to action it quickly and added a very late change into Wednesday's planned hotfix to improve its effectiveness. Unfortunately there were technical issues with the change that resulted in them not being as effective as we expected. We have resolved this in today's hotfix, added further usability improvements to the water buckets, and clarified the numbers around the changes. We apologize for the confusion caused by the last change and will continue to monitor and address any additional issues found.

BAKER Shard Merger

Shard Baker will be merged into Charlie and Able in preparation for Update 51. If you have been playing on Baker, please migrate to another shard at this time. Ranks, Levels, XP, and Commends are persisted across all shards so no progress will be lost in that regard. Regiments must be recreated for each shard.

It's our goal to minimize how often these events occur but shard opening and closings are currently required to scale with big updates. This follows the same procedure roughly a year ago when when Baker was merged in the months after Entrenched was released. Thanks for accommodating this process once again.

Recent Connection Issues

Over the last few months we have been tracking an increase in connection issues related to Steam. Some of these incidents have been related to higher than usual Steam service outages but in other cases seems to be a separate problem entirely.

Our team has been closely investigating this anomaly and have tracked it down to an unexpected adjustment in Steam's networking infrastructure that impacts games with a high number of players per server. Due to the intermittent and unpredictable nature of this problem, diagnosing the cause has been challenging.

We have been dedicating a portion of Update 56 development to redesign parts of our system to be more durable against these adjustments when they happen. Until Update 56 is released, we will be looking for other ways to mitigate this issue best we can.

Once again, we appreciate the patience on this matter and hope we can resolve things soon.

CHARLIE Shard Merger

Shard CHARLIE will be merged into ABLE at the conclusion the current war on CHARLIE. If you have been playing on CHARLIE, please migrate to ABLE. Ranks, Levels, XP, and Commends are persisted across all shards so no progress will be lost in that regard. Regiments must be recreated for each shard.

It's our goal to minimize how often these events occur but shard opening and closings are currently required to scale with big updates. This follows the same procedure used for Entrenched and Inferno updates in prior years. Thanks for accommodating this process once again.

Recent Connection Issues (Update)

I just wanted to give everyone another update on the Steam connection issues discussed in my prior post: #updates message.

I wanted to provide/reiterate some information that may be helpful in understanding the situation:

  • This issue is primarily due to an unexpected adjustment in Steam's networking infrastructure
  • The adjustments were recent, which is why the symptoms of the problem have become more and more prevalent in the last 1-2 wars (i.e. we weren't contending with this specific problem before)
  • The issue can impact any region, and isn't tied to any specific part of the world
  • We are working on redesigning parts of our system for Update 56 to be more durable against these changes and to account for similar changes in the future
    
    Due to the ongoing impact, we are prioritizing work on another hotfix to further alleviate this problem the best we can. This is absolutely the team's top priority right now.
    
    We know how frustrating these connection issues have been for everyone. It has been a challenging situation for us due to the sudden unpredictability of these external factors, but it's ultimately our responsibility to keep everything running smoothly which has not been the case recently. I understand that none of this is going to matter until we have resolved the issue, but I hope the information here can be at least helpful to some.

Earlier this week we deployed Hotfix 1.55.3.0, which contained some additional tools to help us diagnose and mitigate the Steam connection anomalies originally described here: #updates message.

New War on Charlie

The war on Charlie will be concluded through the reduction of VPs later this week and a new war will begin on Friday, Jan 31 at 1PM ET (<t:1738346400:F> YOUR local time). The main reason is to ensure that new players that have joined Charlie in the last month get the chance to experience a war as it's meant to be played, progressing through early, mid, and late phases of the tech tree.

Starting Wednesday, Jan 29th at 10AM ET (<t:1738162800:F> YOUR local time), the total number of VPs required to win will be reduced gradually over the next 48hrs until the win condition is met.

A Chronicle of Ashes: Whedon's Row Chapter VI

The long wait for the final chapter of A Chronicle of Ashes: Whedon's Row is over.

'A Chronicle of Ashes' is a series of short stories exploring the extended Foxhole universe. These are unrelenting tales of human struggle in the face of apathy and violence, borne by a world in a constant state of war.

Whedon's Row
Follow along with the lives of thieves, aristocrats, and common soldiers living inside the overstuffed, independent state that serves as a haven for the Wardens and all of the Nevish Alliance alike, as a package meant for the Archon changes hands between the most unlikely of individuals.

Upcoming War Deadline

To ensure that the production team is able to stay on schedule for upcoming updates in 2025, a deadline for the war on ABLE will be announced tomorrow afternoon. The initial plan was to allow the war on ABLE to play out since it was not stated at the start of the war that it may be cut short. However, after 6 weeks the length of the war is beginning to severely impact the update schedule for the year.

We apologize for the change in plans on ABLE and are looking to implement changes to help deal with these scheduling issues around updates, especially when there are two live shards active at a time.

As announced at the start of the war on CHARLIE, Victory Points will be reduced to facilitate the release of Update 60 as necessary. No plans have changed in this case.

Upcoming Hotfix for Update 63

The team has been working on a hotfix update that is scheduled to rollout tomorrow. The scope of changes will be limited to what is technically feasible in a hotfix.

Development Update

I wanted to take a moment to give everyone an update on development.

The team follows the community closely and we know there is frustration among many players with the Airborne update. It has been difficult reading a lot of the negativity around an update we worked so hard on for so long, but at the end of the day if the game isn't in a good place that's on us and it's also on us to make things better.

So this has been our top priority since Airborne has released. Several weeks ago we released a hotfix with some limited changes for the current war. The plan after Airborne was for the team to take a bit of a breather, but we decided that we needed to make some short term changes to mitigate some of the more pressing issues. There are technical limitations as to what can be changed in a hotfix, so we had to carefully sort through what we'd be able to do then and what would have to come in a full update. We knew the hotfix would be limited, so we put together a plan to get Update 64 to release as soon as possible. To be upfront, Update 64 also won't resolve every piece of feedback we've received either, but we are trying to balance between more changes vs getting the changes out sooner.

We try not to discuss release dates in advance because game development can be very unpredictable, but we know that everyone is eager to know more about what's coming. So our current target is to launch a Dev Branch mid-May. We hope to have more concrete details on Update 64 within 2-3 weeks from now as well as information on the upcoming roadmap.

We don't always get things right, but we've always been committed to making Foxhole better and this will not change moving forward. We've been working on Foxhole for a decade now and won't be stopping anytime soon. Stay tuned for more.

Single Shard Merger & Update 64 War Start

For the release of Update 64, ABLE and CHARLIE will be merged into a single shard (LIVE) so all players will be playing in the same world. Ranks, Levels, XP, and Commends will be retained in the new shard.

Since Regiment names and identifiers may be the same on both Shards, they cannot be merged without conflict. Due to the higher number of Regiments on ABLE, they will be retained and Regiments from CHARLIE will have to be recreated to minimize the overall number of players impacted.

The merger will take place on Monday, May 25th in preparation for the war start on LIVE shard on Tuesday, May 26th @ 1PM ET. Servers may be offline for an extended period of time on May 25th.

Community News Channel; New Opt-in Roles
@everyone

Heyo! You probably noticed there's this new channel - #updates ! Our goal is to provide a place for all things community related, and to be have a spot for any Discord changes we make. Hopefully this will help @edgy sapphire and the rest of us bridge the gap with more community oriented posts that may not have fit in #announcements , and to be open about changes made to the Discord.

To go along with this, we have a couple new roles that can be opted-into in #information :

CommunityAnnouncements - Community Announcements : for all things community related! This will get mentioned for things like Community Highlights, various community streams, projects, and events, and other noteworthy community oriented posts. I'm super excited for this.

Announcements - Announcements : for receiving every single primary channel announcement (for those who want to be pinged for literally everything, aside from community stuff). For example: Dev Branch info, updates, and other game-related news or information, on top of the posts that get the usual @ Everyone

There will still be @everyone posts for the things that make sense, but this will allow us all to post more of the things that we couldn't post because it might not have fit in #announcements , and send notifications to those who want to receive them for everything else without doing an @everyone .

To get the roles, go to #information towards the bottom, where you can opt-in!

Let's Talk Balance

Throughout the week we're going to be discussing balance. In the roundtable channel, the hangout channel, and just in the FOD in general (I'll make a reddit thread as well, but tbh this kind of discussion needs a back-and-forth element to it).

For now, just think about what you'd like to say. Draft up documents if you can and post them into #game-feedback-archive . I'll be collating everything before the end of the week. To be clear: We're interested only in weapon/vehicle/gameplay balance. NOT Map balance.

IMPORTANT NOTE: It is really easy when discussing balance to find problems. Do not focus on the problems. What we need to know are specifically what changes you'd like to see so we can discuss that.

Don't say: "Halftracks are terrible"
Say: "Halftracks need a 10% damage increase."

Thanks guys

Moderation Update: Vehicle 'locking' by going AFK

We've been receiving a number of reports about players 'stockpiling' vehicles by making them inaccessible by players going AFK for hours, or even days on end. Many of you are doing this legitimately, stockpiling for an operation. Others are using this as a way to grief by taking otherwise publicly-accessible vehicles and 'claiming' them by moving them to one of these parking areas. In both cases, we feel this is against the philosophy of foxhole. As such, any stockpiles we see like this, the moderators will soon start breaking them up by moving vehicles out, and placing them in public areas for use.

As I understand there are quite a few of these stockpiles, we'll give it another few hours for everyone to read this message, and make use of their currently stockpiled vehicles before we step in. Know that we do plan to address this issue in the next patch. If you have any questions at all, please feel free to DM me.

Edit: For clarification: this is not addressing the issue of players wanting to keep their individual battle tanks. This policy is aimed particularly at players locking whole fleets of tanks and vehicles. Dealing with players AFK in their own battletanks will be treated on a case-by-case basis as it always has.

We all know how competitive Foxhole can be for its very dedicated player-base.

In order to make sure this flows properly and in a constructive manner, we're changing the format in #foxhole-discussion ! From now on, all chat in #foxhole-discussion will be restricted to the least offensive and most inclusive language of all: Emoji! All of the normal #information still apply of course.

  1. The next war is starting at 11AM EDT on Thursday, April 25th

  2. The requirements for winning the war have been significantly reduced (< 5% the number of upgrade parts that were previously required) so be prepared for a possible change in early game strategy. http://www.foxholegame.com/blog-1/update-25-release-notes

  3. Tempest Island might be unavailable in the next war so any Supply Caches built there might not be available. We hope to address this scenario in future updates.

  4. Strong Materials for building Supply Caches are only granted if a Town Hall has been held by the enemy for longer than an hour

That's not to mean that there won't be some relatively basic requirements/guidelines. But as long as your post follows #information , your clan can repost about once every 12 hours! It's literally as simple as that.
We ask that you don't flood the channel or try to circumvent the basic guidelines, because if you do, you might end up restricted from posting there, and that's no good.

You can read the more complete guidelines in #read-first-⚠ here: https://discordapp.com/channels/203512636556574720/529929825910259712/571034525996679230
These guidelines are still subject to be updated as we settle into this change.

Discord Mod Application

I've finally decided to make the Discord Mod app public! I'm always on the look out for fresh new Discord Mods to help keep things running as smooth as possible. If you're interested, fill out the application here: http://bit.ly/foddmodapp . Please note that there is not set frequency I add new Discord Mods, and the wait can be a while, and applying does not necessarily guarantee a response.

Thanks @everyone !

The subreddit has reached over 9,057 subscribers! That's a milestone for a couple of reasons. For starters, we've actually just surpassed the number of subscribers as some other Early Access PvP MMOS you guys may have heard of: Crowfall (8,974) and Camelot Unchained (9,048). That's a pretty cool thing for me, because I've been following both these games for years (and if you haven't looked into them, maybe you should).

Changes for Today's War

Servers will be hotfixed before the War starts today with some very minor tweaks to help mitigate certain snowballing effects, player imbalance, and other minor issues. The changes are:

  • Faction with a player count disadvantage will have increased Tech Part drop rates
  • Faction with a player count advantage will have slightly longer respawn times
  • Resource distribution has changed to further mitigate snowballing
  • Home Base will always be assigned to a Victory town if one is claimed
  • Starter towns are now Tier 3
  • Deadlands (Abandoned Ward) is no longer a Victory town and no longer has a Refinery

NOTE: These are not meant as solutions for long term issues, but as minor mitigations that are possible within the scope of a server hotfix

The Colonial Supply Cache Issue

We're closing off some pretty active regions before this next war, and we can see a lot of players have put supply caches into those regions, which will not be accessible during the world conquest. To mitigate this problem, we're going to move all the supply caches from those closed regions to their respective town stockpiles in Heartlands/Mooring County. That is to say, the caches will be removed, and their contents placed into the town's Storage Depot's stockpiles.

We are going to work toward a better solution for this issue in the future.

edit: The first World Conquest with Update 29 will be on Wednesday, Sept. 18 at 12:01 PM EDT.

Connection Issues

We've received reports that some players are taking an unusually long time to log in and/or deploy. We are investigating the issue. However as of right now it seems like you can still log in and deploy, it just takes a bit of waiting (about 4-5 minutes). Please bear with us while we figure out which hamster died.

This war will start fully open. We chose to do this because last year Dead Harvest really exceeded our expectations for player population. We're not sure if the same thing will happen again this year, but we're not going to take any chances.

Moderator Policies for DEAD HARVEST

Many of you have been sending me some really good questions about what is, and isn't allowed for this DEAD HARVEST event. There are some really great ideas for possible exploits, problems, and strategies that are very contrary to the norm in Foxhole.

For the duration of the event, assume that this is an entirely different game. This is a pure sandbox. We welcome all sides to try and win it, but with the understanding that not everyone on their team may be working toward the same goal as they usually are.

This event is meant to be FUN. Try to be considerate of others. Even if the moderators are not directly intervening with your particular issue, that does not give you license to be cruel. Please, no matter what your plan is to enjoy the game mode, be kind to others. If we cannot find some middle ground to have fun, then we cannot repeat these events in the future.

If a moderator asks you to stop what you're doing, do not argue, just stop.

Thank you.

Thanks to everyone who participated in the Resistance Phase test today. Some balance changes, bug fixes, and gameplay additions for Dead Harvest will be applied ahead of the official release and war start tomorrow.

Also note that the pacing of the Undead curse will be a lot more gradual in World Conquest (vs what we had in the Resistance Phase test today). Devs and Mods will be part of the initial wave of Undead for the first hour of the Conquest and then the Curse will gradually spread out from that point forward.

See you all tomorrow at 12PM EDT!

Quick Development Update

Just wanted to update everyone one what the plan is in the coming weeks.

1) Dead Harvest

We want to thank everyone for participating in this year's Dead Harvest event. We had a lot of fun participating in the event ourselves and watching all the great videos that have come from it. While it had it's ups and downs, there were some good lessons we learnt about running these events and hope to be back next year with a better Dead Harvest for everyone.

As we are approaching the end of the war, the spawn rate for the Centurion will be ramping up over the weekend. Dead Harvest will conclude once this war is over.

2) Update 31

We're going to be rolling out one more patch before we start marching towards the big Winter Update. Update 31 will contain some key changes to combat and squads that will be supportive of bigger features coming later this year. Dev Branch for Update 31 will be rolling out next week, with the actual release to follow the week after if all goes well.
We'll have a lot more news on next Tuesday's devstream. See you all there!

Steam is currently having connectivity issues (due to the store wide Halloween sale presumably?). As a result you may have issues connecting to Foxhole.

Final Testing for Update 31

<@&543952139022630953>

We're going to try one last combat test at approx. 4PM ET today. The purpose of this test will be to... shoot each other! I've hidden a dollar inside the chest cavity of one of the participants. Kill the right one and you get to keep it.

We want to make sure the combat mechanics feel right with all these changes we've made. After the test, we'll do a roundtable with those who participated to make sure we hear out everyone's concerns. To read up on the changes, or how to get the devbranch, refer to the links below:

Update 31 Bugs & Hotfixes

Just wanted to update everyone quickly on the status of Update 31 bugs. We are rolling out a hotfix in the next 1-2 hours that should address some of these issues.

  1. Client crashes sometimes when server travelling - Fixed in pending hotfix

  2. Players are unable to kick members from a Squad if they are offline - Fixed in pending hotfix

  3. Local voice chat sometimes stops working after server travelling while in a Squad - Fixed in pending hotfix

  4. Squad Leader is reassigned to offline Squad Members - Workaround in pending hotfix (players will be able to reassign the Squad Leader in this case)

We are also looking into additional improvements and fixes to Squads as feedback comes in. Apologies for the more than expected issues with Squads. We are working as fast as we can to address them. Thanks for the patience."

UPDATE: Above issues have been resolved. We are aiming to do another hotfix with a few more improvements before the end of the day.

halcyon forge
#

Update 31 Bugs & Hotfixes Part 2

Just one last update for the day. We just rolled out 1 more hotfix with the following fixes:

  1. Rare crash that happens if you kick a player from a Squad and then log off the game immediately

  2. Squad Leader Colour changed from orange to yellow since many felt orange was too similar to the enemy name colour

  3. Squad member names still appear on the HUD even when the squad widget loses focus so you can see who's talking.

Other issues that we're looking into:

  1. Bug that causes map intelligence to show dead enemies for up to 5 minutes after they died

  2. Grenades are having a larger area of effect than they should be.

3) Faction Efficiency balance. We're monitoring the balance of efficiency and will make game balance adjustments as appropriate. We understand there are some unintended effects that some players may have hit such as the system being too harsh on logistics operations and upgrading mines. We are looking into these issues over the next few days of the war. Thanks for all the feedback thus far.

0.31.12.5 Hotfix Released

Just rolled out another hotfix that contains the following changes.

1) Bug fix: Frag Grenade no longer deals damage in an overly large radius no longer goes through obstacles.

2) Facility Efficiency:

  • Facility Efficiency reduces at a lower rate across the board
  • Facility Efficiency increases more during daily resets
  • In backline regions, efficiency impact on Upgrade Part cost vastly reduced
  • In backline regions, efficiency will be reduced by a much lower amount when submitting Upgrade Parts

We will continue to monitor facility efficiency in the coming days and make additional adjustments if necessary

IMPORTANT: Also be sure to update your clients in case you are having connection issues or crashes. You can do this by right clicking on Foxhole in Steam and then clicking on Properties -> Local Files -> Verify Integrity of Game Files.

Fatal Error on border travel fix

The bug that causes your client to crash with a Fatal Error has been fixed as of 0.31.12.7. Please validate your client again to ensure you have the fix.

shovel FOD Revamp - Heads Up!
<@&543952139022630953>

Hi all! I thought I'd give everyone a heads-up that the server will be undergoing many changes within the next couple days. While I normally wouldn't give a heads-up, the nature of the changes and the sheer number of changes, particularly with the layout and channels may be pretty jarring, especially since it involves making changes to things that haven't been changed in well over a year (and some that haven't fundamentally been changed ever!).

Once all of the changes are complete, a complete list of changes made will be posted along with the thought process behind most of them.

In the meantime, check out the Chronicle of Ashes that Matt posted and if you didn't tune in for the Dev Stream, you should dig right in to the VOD posted to YouTube.

FOD Revamp - Things have changed!
<@&543952139022630953>

Hi all! I'm mostly through the revamp. There are still a few things to take care of, but here's a list of changes made. Everything is subject to change of course.

• Archived #brainstorming
• Broke out rules into #rules
• Created #648664305654431745 to help people, well, get around
• Broke out opt-in roles to #648664327292846090
○ Removed following roles: Announcements, Think Tank, Tech Wizards
○ 🇵🇹 for Portuguese
• Archived #ask-the-community (for now - I've gotten feedback on this already)
• Renamed Geolocation roles to Language roles
○ BR became Portuguese
• Archived all language specific channels
○ #648692531512475648 will serve as a catch-all for non-english speakers.
○ Moderators will have little tolerance on misuse of this channel
• Suggestions is now #game-feedback-archive
• Re-ordered a bunch of the channels
• #off-topicis now #general-discussion
• Created #cool-community-stuff as a place for Devs and Mods to occasionally highlight, well, cool community stuff

I probably forgot a few things on this list, and I know there’s a lot of cleanup to do in the pinned messages that will get taken care of as it is noticed.

Regarding language channels: I know this wasn’t a popular move, however it’s one that will better suit us for now. Frankly, the language channels were a bit much and weren’t getting the love they should. They can come back if it makes sense to do so. In the meantime, we will be working with these groups to find new ways to better support these sub-communities. More to come on this later.

For the time being, #648720623492792320 has been created temporarily to get any feedback you have about these changes or other ideas you may have. Please read the channel topic first.

Thanks everyone!

<@&543952139022630953> Hey guys! I'm putting together a little moderated discussion in the Hangouts VC if anyone wants to hop in. We'll be talking about the game, suggestions, feedback, the whole can of worms. We'll also have @edgy sapphire in attendance to hear what you all think about the various topics brought up. That said, he will primarily be there to listen. He will not be answering most if any questions. This is so he can concentrate on the topics at hand to see everyones thoughts!

As for what 'Moderated discussion' means - It'll be me basically giving people a chance to speak without everyone interrupting each other and to keep the conversation on topic.

Depending on how this goes we'll potentially be doing these every now and then!

Regarding COVID-19 (Coronavirus) and this Discord
Hi all! While it's not something I would normally bring up, I think it's time to make ye ol' post regarding the Coronavirus and this Discord.
Coronavirus is already having an impact in the game development world, tech world, and even impacting members of our very own community, not to mention all of those impacted all over the world. It's obviously a hot topic, and may very well be for some time.
While this is the case, I ask you all to remain respectful, responsible, and reasonable when talking about it. Please keep the topic in #general-discussion as much as possible, giving room in the other channels to their normal topics. When discussing this, please remember the following:

Please refrain from political discussion.
Please refrain from racist remarks.
Please refrain from sharing disinformation.
Please keep an open and dispassionate mind when reading or watching content.
Please investigate statements through reputable sources.
Please heed moderator direction should they need to moderate discussions.
All of these, I would encourage anyways, with the rest of #rules .

While I am not a medical professional in any capacity, I will of course urge you all to do your best to follow best practices (washing your hands often, trying to not touch your face, etc), and of course to seek assistance from a qualified medical professional should concerns arise.

As always, stay healthy, and stay foxy.

Bugs that we're looking into (with workarounds)

  • Some storage depots are blocked by debris or fences making it impossible to remove vehicles. If you spot one of these storage depots, please ping @edgy sapphire and I'll come fix it.
  • If you are having trouble with keybinds, such as your 'F' key not working, go into the keybinds and 'reset to default'. This should correct the issue, and you can rebind them from there if you choose.
  • Remember that any major bugs you find you should report in the #bug-reports channel. Please check the pins there for the appropriate template.

Thanks!

Update 0.35.15.3 (Hotfix)

Several bugs have been resolved in the latest hotfixes up to and including 0.35.15.3:

- Fixed issue that caused Mass Production Factory UI to be opened when pressing 'E' as the driver of a vehicle that's far from the structure
- Fixed issue that sometimes caused cranes to get stuck when picking up extremely close Shippables

Latency/Lag Issues

We have investigated the higher than normal reports of latency lag. Servers appear to be operating at optimal performance and there are no load/capacity issues at the moment.

The most likely explanation right now for the latency is the increased utilization of the internet due to the COVID-19 lockdown. Many online services (including Foxhole) are being impacted. We'll be monitoring the situation, but please bear with us for now as we investigate further.

War 54 Will Commence on Thursday, 12PM (Noon) EDT

<@&543952139022630953>

The next War will start on Thursday at 12PM (Noon) EDT. This war will include Update 36, so please read carefully the important notices below:

  1. A new networking framework has been implemented that we hope will help improve latency and connection robustness in the further future. However, when deploying any new networking system at scale, there is always a high chance of unexpected issues arising. We expect there to be a few deployment issues, but we will work to resolve them as quickly as possible. If you experience higher than usual connection issues, please leave a detailed report on bug-reports channel on the Foxhole Discord.

  2. An experimental feature called Prototyping (that enables Relic Vehicles) will be a part of this update, but is currently only planned to be active for one war for now. It may be extended to more wars if necessary.

  3. If you experience issues with shadow rendering, you can resolve it by toggling your graphics quality preset to another level and then back. We are working on a longer term fix for this.

  4. Some changes were made to Relics/Prototyping between the Dev Branch and final release of Update 36. The Heavy Infantry Carrier can no longer be prototyped, but the Harvester can be. Relic Vehicles can now be repaired as well, but have less health than in their previous release.

Pre-Release Update 36

An early build of Update 36 is rolling out to servers in Resistance Phase. You will have to update your clients to rejoin the live shard.

halcyon forge
#

Update 36 Release Status

Just wanted to give an update on a few things.

  1. The new networking framework that we were hoping to deploy in Update 36 has been retracted from the released. After a day of testing in Resistance Phase, we determined that it's still not stable enough for live operational use. We've restored the original networking framework, which will stay in place at least for War 54. We hope to try again in a future update.

  2. We are aware of the bug that's causing certain text characters (Chinese/Russian) to not render properly in the UI. We hope to have a fix ready before the Conquest start tomorrow.

Update 36 Release Status Part2

  1. The bug that's causing certain texture characters (Chinese) to not render properly in the UI has been fixed internally. However, Steam's developer services are currently experiencing issues, which is preventing us from publishing the fix at the moment. We hope that will be resolved soon. EDIT: This fix has rolled out to clients.
  2. Some players are experiencing intermittent network latency. We have one potential resolution for this, which will be rolling out to servers before Conquest start. We are continuing to investigate the issue.

Server Issues

We are aware of the network connectivity problems. We are working diligently on a fix right now. We expect to have a fix out later today. It will take some time to roll out the fix to all the servers, and there is no guarantee that it will resolve 100% of issues, but we're going to keep working at it. We will provide updates here and through the in-game announcements as soon as we have them.

🔴 Multiple regions are experiencing high network lag and inconsistent behaviour.

Update on Server Issues

Just wanted to give an update on the server issues we've been facing since Update 36 has hit. There seems to be an intermittent issue that is causing other players on screen to appear to move in a laggy manner. We're almost certain this is related to our recent upgrade to Unreal Engine 4.24, which contained a lot of back end networking changes. This is why we tried to keep everyone informed of the risks ahead of the update. While we did exhaustive testing internally, when deploying a game server to a live environment, especially one supporting as many simultaneous connections like Foxhole, certain issues just don't reveal themselves until you have hundreds of actual live connections going over the internet.

For the last few days, we have been working tirelessly to track down this issue and will continue to do so until it is resolved. We rolled out one update this afternoon that seems to have solved some of the problems we were seeing, but ultimately did not resolve the movement latency issues. We hope to have another server patch ready to go early this weekend that might help mitigate some of the problems. In the mean time we are also adjusting some server parameters like player capacity to mitigate the issue further.

There is a bright side to all of this though. While performing this engine upgrade has caused us all some short term pain, there are some great things to look forward to in the future. One of the big motivations for upgrading the engine is that there are a lot of potential optimizations that can be leveraged in future updates. These optimizations will potentially allow us to increase our player capacity (less queues) and reduced latency. While those optimizations are dormant now, we hope they will bear fruit in updates coming later this year.

I sincerely apologize for the poor experience that some of you may have had these past few days. I will continue to update you all on the situation.

Y'all! The Festival is back, baby!

Festival Dates: May 30th and 31st

<@&543952139022630953> This year we’ll have mostly the same mini-games as last year so don’t expect anything truly new in that regard. Except this time we’ll have some fancy new toys for the various mini-games. Especially the Trench CTF and Hunger Games! As of now we have 4 main events which are as follows;

Trench Warfare: Capture the Flag - Exactly what it sounds like! You have trenches. You have various guns and you need to capture all the flags for your team to win!

Urban TDM - Essentially we transplanted Salt Brook and are now forcing you all to fight to the death in a close-quarter urban team deathmatch where every weapon known to Foxhole(excluding vehicles) are available to you!

Hunger Games - This is an Event that takes inspiration from the popular book series of the same name. In this event we essentially do the same thing!

Matt’s 2v2 Tournament - This Event takes inspiration from CODs Gunfight and we’re bringing it to Foxhole. We have 3 super unique maps that Matt personally built for this little tournament. You can sign-up and read the rules with the link below!
https://forms.gle/KBp3JKBHp7KbQe3H8 Signup link

We’ll also have our very own @next galleon hosting some armored brawls that may include the cheeky mechs from Deadharvest~

Remember; We do the Festival to come together as a community and to have fun with some silly mini-games! Thats it from me for now! I’ll be posting more announcements as we get closer to the date but I hope to see all of you there!

I hope you and yours stay healthy,

Another Update on Server Issues

Just wanted to give everyone another quick update on the technical issues we've been seeing since Update 36 rolled out.

1. Player movement "lag" Yesterday we deployed a server patch with a potential fix. In testing that fix, we unfortunately triggered the issue again several times. Following that, late last night we adjusted some additional server parameters to reduce the frequency of the intermittent lag. We haven't gotten any reports of this issue resurfacing today which is a good sign.

2. Unable to connect to region Today we've been seeing a new issue where some regions get into a state where players are unable to join. We have put in some measures to reduce the likelihood of this issue happening again, but we aren't confident that it will completely prevent the problem from resurfacing again.

We are quite certain at this point that both of these issues have to do with our recent upgrade to Unreal Engine 4.24. We are still working on figuring out the root cause of both of these problems so we can issue a patch to resolve them completely.

Again, we apologize for these technical issues. Early Access or not, these sorts of problems aren't acceptable and we will be working as hard as we can over the next few days to resolve them. I will also provide a technical debrief afterwards so the underlying cause and fix for these issues can be better understood by everyone.

Matt's 2v2 Tournament - Hey everyone, we're getting a far bigger demand than we anticipated for the 2v2 tournament. We're coming close to 20 teams signed up.

After we hit that number, we'll still being taking sign-ups, but any teams that enter after I announce that we've hit 20, will be considered as alternates in the case that one of the first 20 teams are a no-show.

The reason we have to limit the number of entrants is, well, we only have so much time to run it! Thanks everyone for your interest and we'll see you on Saturday.

If you were thinking about signing up, don't wait! Time's a runnin' out.

Server Issues Resolved & Hotfix

I wanted to give everyone an update on the server issues and news on the latest hotfix. The good news is that both server issues have been resolved! Details are below.

1. Intermittent player movement "lag" After nearly a week long battle with this elusive bug, we've finally found a solution that will prevent it from resurfacing on live servers. There is still some follow up work to be done internally, but the issue should be resolved on all servers as of an hour ago (FINALLY)!

2. Rare/sudden event that causes regions to stop accepting connections This issue has been definitively fixed since Monday afternoon, but we wanted to have the test on live for awhile before confirming anything. It should no longer be an issue.

In addition, we've also been able to issue additional hotfixes (0.36.19.15) that are rolling out to servers and clients over the next day or so. This will include the following fixes:

- Fixed issue that caused Wrenches to not work on Barges
- Fixed issue that caused Steam VR to activate on startup
- Fixed issue that caused items to be missing when unpackaging a vehicle
- Fixed issue that can cause crash or other rendering issues when alt-tabbing while using exclusive fullscreen video mode

Foxhole Festival Update

Afternoon everyone! Sorry for the misunderstanding this morning with the Parade/2v2. I know a bunch of people were hype to go from the parade to the Trench Warfare CTF and I'm sorry it wasn't scheduled like that. Unfortunately, I had last minute decided to have the parade before the 2v2 which caused a bunch of misunderstanding for players.

With that out of the way, we'll be starting the Trench Warfare CTF a little behind schedule, tentatively at 1:30pm EST. Start grouping up in the Festival 1 VC and we'll be getting started soon!

Festival Update

Evening everyone!

Firstly, I want to thank everyone who came out to the Festival this year. It takes a lot of effort to host and I'm glad to see people liking it. That said, I do understand we had our issues this year and I want to apologize for the events on the first day. They could have truly be better run and I think we definitely did better on the 2nd day for some events.

Secondly, thank you to the various players that volunteered their time to help build/run the Festival!

Thirdly, thank you to the Devs who worked with me to make our ideas a reality! (Especially those really cool flags. #inthegamesoon? #hopefully)

Finally, I have a questionnaire for those who participated to fill out. Would definitely help us make the Festival better for the future years!

Update 36 Point Release 1

We're going to be releasing at least 1 if not 2 point releases for Update 36, which will primarily contain bug fixes and other changes. Point Release 1 will be rolled out in Resistance Phase after War 54 concludes. Besides bug fixes, it will have the new Steam Sockets system enabled (which should help reduce network latency and overall connection robustness), which we will be testing in resistance phase. If you recall, we had enabled it in the initial Update 36 dev branch but ran into a few technical issues with it. Since then, Steam has released several bug fixes that we think will resolve those issues.

Release notes will come when the patch rolls out. A mandatory client update will be required.

For everyone concerned about the Tech Tree, it will progress at roughly the same speed as the old one (if not faster) in terms of how soon tech like tanks or battle tanks are unlocked. There are just some pacing issues with the Test Release that will be sorted out before the full release on Wednesday.

This and other issues are still being sorted out. If there is a concern or something that you think isn't working correctly, please log a bug report and we'll investigate. DO NOT PING ME or other devs as feedback sent directly to us will likely be lost and have a lower chance of being actioned.

Notice of Upcoming Security Changes

There are some important changes that are being made to Foxhole to address ongoing security issues.

<@&543952139022630953>

1) Effective in the coming days, Steam Family Sharing support will be disabled on all accounts.

2) In the near future, VAC (Valve Anti-Cheat) will be enabled in Foxhole. This will be done without further warning from this point forward. You can read more about VAC here: https://support.steampowered.com/kb/7849-RADZ-6869/

IMPORTANT: Do NOT run any sort sort of external programs that may alter the Foxhole client in any way or can be used to gain an advantage in-game. This may result in a sudden VAC ban on your account, which may permanently affect your account across Steam.

As an additional reminder, please read the Code of Conduct carefully. By failing to adhere to the rules, you may risk a ban that may have long lasting effects on your account.

Thank you

Fourth Foxhole Census

Hello folks, it's time for a new Community Census!

I've been wanting to do this new survey for some time, since the game went through a lot of important changes since the last one, 6 months ago.
This is probably going to be the last census before the 1.0 release, so i'll let applications open for some time.
The goal of the Foxhole Community Census is to collect feedback on problems and gather interesting statistics about the game's playerbase.
I invite you all to answer the form, it takes around 5 minutes to complete!

https://forms.gle/6krJJFAcw9GRAw6p6

If you have anything else to add or wants to comment on something that's not included in the questions, feel free to talk about it on the last option paragraph.

Feel free to PM me if you have any questions!
Note: The results of the other censuses are linked in this form

War #67 - War Configuration

This war will contain Update 41 and all related content.

Reminder: the addition of map layers this update will mean that world structures may not be what you expect from past wars. But it should still be balanced on both sides.

The war will start on Thursday at 1PM EST.

edit: I meant EST not PST

RELIC WAR BEGINS TOMORROW

The next war will be starting on Dec 30th (tomorrow) at 12PM EST. As mentioned in the post above, there will be a shorter Resistance Phase this time around to accommodate the new players from the Steam Winter sale.

This will be the second and last Relic War of the year, with 5 Relic Vehicles available, including the all new Phalanx Assault Tank.

The First Winter Army Update War Wednesday, Feb 24th at 12PM EST. This war will include all the features and content. And bugs. In the calm before the storm I want to remind everyone that with an update this large there are bound to be problems. We will be at the helm, working to fix as many critical issues as we can as quickly as we can. Report the issues. Respect your opponents.

We are investigating server instability

dnd We are experiencing server instability due to the onrush of players trying to get into the game. Our team is investigating and attempting to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.

online The servers have caught up. We're hopeful this was only a momentary hiccup but we'll be watching closely.

halcyon forge
#

0.42.22.4 Hotfix is rolling out

There are additional bug fixes that will be deployed in a patch tomorrow.

- Bug fixes
    - Aiming Field Weapons on the downwards slope can cause the aim line to get into a bad state
halcyon forge
#

Hospital Modifier

Due to the high volume of players, several modifications will become effective immediately

- Field Hospitals will be unlocked immediately
- All Hospitals will have their patient to Soldier Supplies conversion rate increased
halcyon forge
#

0.42.22.6 Hotfix is rolling out

A hotfix is rolling out to all servers over the next hour. Changelist is below.

- Region player list is now wider to support longer names without being cut off
- Players are now shown a notification about Wind if they try to use artillery in a region where a weather event is active
- Bug fixes
    - Mortar Houses can't be fired
    - In rare cases, players can walk through vehicles after they've rammed a structure
    - Item tooltips were missing information for Tripod based weapons
    - Certain RPG weapons can be fired close enough to damage yourself
    - Ruined structure visuals are incorrect sometimes
    - Certain SFX like Bird chirping are playing during weather events
- Workaround issues relating to high player count and voice (see note below)

IMPORTANT NOTE: Due to the unprecedented high number of players in this war, we have encountered a limitation to our local voice chat implementation. We have done a lot of optimization work on our servers to support 200+ players per region over the last few months (which is why we've been able to support this many players this war), but unfortunately we've hit an unexpected ceiling with local voice chat.

To work around this limitation in the short run, we unfortunately have to disable cross faction local voice chat temporarily. This means that players will be unable to hear the other faction in local voice chat for the time being. This was a tough decision, but the trade off right now is between having more players in the war vs having cross faction local chat. The plan is to re-enable cross faction voice chat as soon as possible.

Thanks for the patience on this issue.

halcyon forge
#

Important Note: War Population

Due to the continuing high volume of players entering the war, several measures will be taken to reduce the size of the queues and accommodate more players. We understand this isn't ideal, but we hope these measures will help welcome more players to the community. We thank you for your patience as we work through this situation.

  1. Travel queue reservation times will be significantly reduced

  2. Resistance Frontier Bases will be spawned automatically at any region bordering a front line region to allow for more contested regions to exist.

We also ask that you be extra patient with the queues. We are doing everything we can to increase server capacity.

Hotfix 0.42.22.8, Factories, and Resources

Changelist is below. It will take time for some of these changes to propagate to all servers.

- Bug fixes
    - Border Base equipment quanities was not scaling with population as intended
    - Light Artillery explosion VFX were not rotated correctly
    - Landscape visuals for devastated areas was sometimes incorrect in towns
    - Rare client crash
- Argenti r.II Rifle accuracy increased

To help scale production with the current player population, additional factories have been deployed in Viper Pit, Mooring County, Heartlands, and Shackled Chasm

EDIT: In addition, resource field respawn rates have been increased.
EDIT: Additional factories have been deployed in Westgate, Stonecradle, Weathered Expanse, and Allods Bight

High Population & Victory Town Adjustment

Due to the unprecedented and continuing high player population in War 71, the number of required victory towns will be adjusted from 20 to 19 to ensure that there are enough regions near the end of the conquest to accommodate this player count while keeping queue times to a minimum.

We thank you for your continued patience as we work to support as many players as possible in this war.

War 72 & Hotfix 0.42.22.16

The next war begins on Tuesday at 12PM EDT. Starting conditions are below. Note that Stonecradle and Allod's Bight will not contain full logistics hubs.

In addition, an update will be rolling out over the next few hours containing some priority fixes and balance changes. Since this is a hotfix, it only contains a minimal set of intended changes. There are many more fixes and changes in the works, but they will come with Update 43, which we hope to have news on as early as next week. The hotfix changelist is below:

- Field Hospitals no longer require Tech
- Silverhand health increased by ~15%
- Silverhand Track subsystem has a 25% less chance of being disabled
- Changes to mitigate the chances of a region server going offline during very poor networking conditions
- Bug fixes
    - Trench Connector can produce holes in the landscape that players can fall through
    - Some structures are invisible to users until logging out and back in
    - Landing Ships are unable to open certain Drawbridges from water
    - Security fixes

Server Infrastructure Upgrades

We will be attempting to upgrade certain parts of our server infrastructure today. There may be brief disruptions in certain regions (i.e. regions might be offline for several minutes at a time). We will do our best to give everyone a heads up before a region server goes offline.

There may be other possible unexpected server disruptions, so we ask for your patience as we work through these upgrades. Thank you.

halcyon forge
#

Important Note: War Population

As a reminder, due to the continuing high volume of players, we are still applying the same measures used in the last war to reduce the size of the queues and accommodate more players.

  1. Travel queue reservation times will be significantly reduced

  2. Resistance Frontier Bases will be spawned automatically at any region bordering a front line region to allow for more contested regions to exist.

  3. Hospitals have their Soldier Supplies conversion rate increased significantly

  4. Resource Field respawn rates have been increased significantly

In addition, we are doing everything else in our power to accommodate more players.

i) Server hardware upgrades: We currently employ the best possible server hardware that our server host provides. We have been looking for other hosts that have access to newer hardware released only in the last few months and have begun testing migration to them. While we anticipate that the increase in capacity will be minimal, even small percentage gains would be beneficial at this time.

ii) Second Shard: We have prepared a second shard as a last resort in case player capacity increases significantly further. This is currently considered a contingency plan as we'd much prefer to keep all players in the same world unless the situation escalates further.

Once again, we understand these solutions aren't ideal, but we hope these measures will help welcome more players to the community. We have increased our overall shard capacity since Arms Race by ~33% through server optimization in preparation for this update but that has not been sufficient. Beyond the present, we are working on ways to handle future player spikes more gracefully. Thanks once again for the patience.

Devstream & Current Player Growth

Just wanted to give everyone a quick update on our near term schedule. The original plan was for us to finally do our Devstream tomorrow (after multiple delays). However, with the additional player population boost we experienced over the weekend and the Live-2 shard starting to reach capacity, the team is preoccupied with scaling the game to meet demand.

We will let everyone know 24h ahead of time when the next Devstream will occur, but it may not be for another week or longer.

Thanks again for the patience during this period of major growth.

Time Between Wars on Live-1

Due to the ongoing high player population, there will likely be much less time between this war and the next in order to accommodate the high volume and influx of new players.

A reminder to read through the final release notes for changes that occurred throughout the dev branch. Note the following key balance changes that happened between dev branch and final release:

- Noble Widow MK. XIV - Tank rotation speed increased slightly, Damage bonus changed from 100% to 75%, Deflection chance bonus reduced slightly
- “Dusk” ce.III - Stability reduced
- Hydra's Whisper - Deploy time decreased slightly

War Restart

Unfortunately, due to an unprecedented severe bug introduced in Update 43 that allows items to be duplicated the current wars on both shards will be restarted. In the 4 year history of the game, we have not had to restart a war, but due to the severity and scope of the bug the negatives of letting the war continue outweigh the negatives of resetting progress from today's wars. This is obviously not an ideal outcome for the work already put into today's wars, but we feel this would at least preserve the integrity of these wars moving forward.

We take complete responsibility over this issue and sincerely apologize.

A fix for the bug has been deployed. The wars on both shards will be restarted momentarily. Standby.

Shard Merger Update

To avoid disrupting the current war, the profiles from multiple shards will be merged at the conclusion of the current war on LIVE during resistance phase. We originally thought that it would be viable to do the merge in the middle of the conquest, but if there isn't a major immediate demand the process would be far less disruptive to do during resistance phase (since the merge requires us to shut down the shard for some period of time).

For additional details, please read this post of ours from a few days ago: https://www.foxholegame.com/post/upcoming-shard-merger

halcyon forge
#

Upcoming Maintenance Period & Steam Sockets

At the conclusion of this war, there will be a scheduled maintenance period in Resistance Phase. Please note the following:

  1. The shard merger mentioned in the post above this one will be performed. Profiles from the two shards will be combined.

  2. We will be upgrading our networking backend to integrate with Steam Networking Sockets to resolve some intermittent server instabilities that have been happening recently. If you recall, we had tested this upgrade several times last year, but ultimately backed out due to various issues. There have been many bug fixes with this integration both on ours and Valve's end since last year so we will be attempting the process once again.

We greatly apologize for these issues. We will keep everyone updated.

Training War

Due to the timing of the current war, the pending Update 45 release, and the current large influx of new players, a new Training War has been started on an alternate shard. This shard has been started to accomodate the new players and to tide us over until the current war ends. Note that progression will not be saved on the Training War shard

Depending on the ongoing player population in the coming days, we may open up Live-2 again (with a full war) to support a larger playerbase upon the release of Update 45.

Dev Branch Phase 1 Important Note

We are hoping to deploy the dev branch within an hour or so. Keep in mind that much of the content announced on the stream yesterday will be missing from Phase 1. The building features, uniforms, some game balance changes, and even some unannounced small features will be coming with **Phase 2 ** on Tuesday.

TL;DR is to only expect about half of the update in Phase 1 so it's important to wait until we have the full picture on Tuesday before drawing conclusions.

Steam Issues & Home Regions

Due to unexpected circumstances, there have been connection issues between our servers and Steam's network over the last few days. This is what caused the late war start on LIVE-1 on Saturday and what caused the temporary outage earlier today.

As part of our solution to mitigate these issues, we have added additional Home Region servers and are spreading players out between them. As a result, Home Regions may feel more sparse than usual for the foreseeable future until a longer term solution is implemented. Other than that there should be no other side effects.

LIVE-2 Status

Another war will not be scheduled for LIVE-2 for the time being. There are some events in the coming weeks that may increase player population beyond the capacity of a single shard again, at which point we'll see the next LIVE-2 war.

We understand that certain players can become committed to a Shards so we will try to reduce the frequency of such events, but our ongoing goal is to always try to have wars feel as populated and dense as possible.

We'll keep everyone informed in the coming weeks. Thanks.

Connectivity Issues from certain geographical regions

Certain players have been experiencing issues connecting to shards. This seems to be isolated to specific regions like Russia. We believe this is related to some recent internet infrastructure changes that has happened in those regions and neighbouring areas, which may be impacting connectivity to our servers. We are continuing to investigate but if this issue is impacting you please leave as much information as possible (geographical location, details of error, etc).

Possible Workarounds

  • Connecting from another region through VPN
  • Change your router's MTU setting to 4952 (try at your own risk!)
  • If your deployment map is missing points, try reopening it and then waiting 20 seconds (do not spam, which could make it worse)

A Chronicle of Ashes: Whedon's Row

Happy New Year, friends and lore fiends. As a way to close out an incredible 2021 for Foxhole, the first two chapters of the next episode of "A Chronicle of Ashes" have been released.

'A Chronicle of Ashes' is a series of short stories exploring the extended Foxhole universe. These are unrelenting tales of human struggle in the face of apathy and violence, borne by a world in a constant state of war.

Follow along with the lives of thieves, aristocrats, and common soldiers living inside the overstuffed, independent state that serves as a haven for the Wardens and all of the Nevish Alliance alike, as a package meant for the Archon changes hands between the most unlikely of individuals.

New chapters will not release on a regular schedule, so keep an eye out here for new updates.

Update 48 Known Issues.

  • The flexibility of the player being in multiple squads has not been fully taken advantage of. When you are unable to access something you feel you should: change your active squad.
  • The drop-down list used to assign squads to vehicles and structures currently does not work and instead will always assign to your active squad.
  • Localization is in an early state of development. System locale may break rich text formatting and translations may be grossly incorrect.

#

Update 48 Important Notice

In addition to the above known issues, there are several more Squad bugs we are investigating. In the mean time we are rolling out an update soon to limit some of the features for Multiple Squads to reduce the likelihood of triggering a bug.

If you encounter any bugs with regards to your Squad list not updating as expected when players join/leave or anything else, please report them to #bug-reports ASAP. Most of these issues can be worked around by region travelling or logging out and back into the game.

We are actively investigating these issues and looking to resolve them as soon as possible. Thank you for the patience.
