Foxhole Dev Tracker

Just catching up to this now. This is exactly how I feel. These are your stories. If something is important, you guys won't allow it to be forgotten. Much like real history. That's actually part of the beauty of this kind of game and I'd be doing it a disservice to get my hands in it.

If I had to guess any similarities are likely because we're taking inspiration from similar places. Both Scythe and Foxhole are 'alternate' takes on WW1/2 style combat. We're really looking forward to playing Iron Harvest!

Glad you dig 'em. This was me just f*cking around with trying to make a big beefy clanky machinegun.

Hey, hi. Thanks for the feedback. For what it's worth, this is phase one of the region zones and the forts are temporary. I agree they are random and out of place. You can see in many region zones there's some ground work for a future update, but before committing entirely we wanted to see how it's working. In the future you may only see one or two of these forts in the world.

I can assure you that nothing in Foxhole is random.

All world-building is a mix of influences. Humans are horribly bad at inventing entirely new, unseen concepts. Most western fantasy (a la Tolkien) takes myths and legends and medieval history, puts it in a blender and makes a nice little smoothie out of it.

Foxhole is not inspired by the conflicts of WWI and WWII aside from, obviously, equipment and era (much like you'd see in fantasy with swords and shields and tactics). It is an original setting. Patterns are intentional. There isn't a single thing in the lore that has been put there without consideration for how it relates to the history of the world.

My thought as to why this is hard for people to parse is that it is recent enough in history that we have photographs and video depicting the era, whereas pretty much anything prior, we don't.

But to your point, all fiction is inherently something 'a writer came up with.'

It's very easy to simply add carryable lights. In the earliest versions of the game, we actually had lanterns you could equip.

However, we wanted to make it so that if we added something like this, it affected your visibility and carved away at the 'fog of war' you experience at night. These two things are what make it not-so-trivial and so therefore not the biggest priority. I suspect you might see this feature one day.

Happy to report this has been fixed for the next update :)

A fix for this will be in the next update :)

Happy to report we've fixed this and it will be in the next patch!

We are investigating, thanks for the report.

Did anything in your network topology change since you last played successfully? I.e. changed router, add a second router, connecting through a 3g/4g/lte modem etc.

Otherwise a steam restart and a full computer restart can sometimes help with this particular issue.

Thanks, we'll look into it!

I'm going to look into this issue, do you have any more information about the circumstances when this happens?
