(OSX) XVM Server

[ThE_MarD 0]

Heyyo,

 

 

I tried searching and I haven't found and answer and I was hoping you fine folks could help! :)

 

So I'm playing World of Tanks on Mac OSX 10.11.3 and XVM works good... minus server ping status just shows as "?"

 

The WoT Mac Wrapper seems to use a specialized build of CrossOver for Mac if that helps...

 

 

Link to what I see:

 

 

I've tried with the OSX Firewall on and off and with "Sealth Mode" enabled and disabled... didn't solve the issue sadly. :(

Heyyo,

 

Hmm, after reading up on this:

 

https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=31627&iTestingId=84531

 

that last link talks about doing a symlink between ping.exe and and /bin/ping which of course in OSX is found in /sbin/ping...

 

so I did...

 

ln -s /sbin/ping "/Applications/World of Tanks.app/Contents/SharedSupport/worldoftanks/support/worldoftanks/drive_c/ping.exe"

 

and that didn't work... so then I found a thing from SirMax on the XVM forums about needing to remove the "drive_c/system32/ping.exe"

 

and... it kind of worked. Now the ping results show "--" instead of "?"

 

so does this mean that XVM server ping needs to be patched to support the WoT Mac Wrapper and OSX's /sbin/ping ???

Can you provide output of OS X ping application?
 

 

Execute

ping 8.8.8.8 > pingtest.txt

And attach pingtest.txt file.

Heyyo,

Thank you for the reply Mixaill!!! :)

 

I did the test, but it seems OSX does not stop the test by default... I checked the file size and watched it go from 4KB to 15KB... now it's 25KB hmm... very odd.

 

Here's what I get when I check the OSX ping:

 

usage: ping [-AaDdfnoQqRrv] [-b boundif] [-c count] [-G sweepmaxsize]
            [-g sweepminsize] [-h sweepincrsize] [-i wait] [−k trafficclass]
            [-l preload] [-M mask | time] [-m ttl] [-p pattern]
            [-S src_addr] [-s packetsize] [-t timeout][-W waittime] [-z tos]
            host
       ping [-AaDdfLnoQqRrv] [-b boundif] [-c count] [-I iface] [-i wait]
            [−k trafficclass] [-l preload] [-M mask | time] [-m ttl] [-p pattern] [-S src_addr]
            [-s packetsize] [-T ttl] [-t timeout] [-W waittime]
            [-z tos] mcast-group

 

 

so maybe for OSX it needs that count limit set??? Is XVM maybe waiting for the last ping result but never getting it since it pings infinitely? :P

 

I just tried testing with the count set to 4 and it gave me this:

 

ping -c 4 8.8.8.8 > pingtest2.txt

 

and it gave me the attached pingtest2.txt

pingtest.txt

pingtest2.txt
