The forum

Hello,
After trying out the installation of World of Tanks (WoT), I broke down and seek help from this forum.

Really, its sounding like the download is flat out failing, which wine-mono usually does.

You can get it here and manually install it if its still being grumpy.

Hello,

I tried google for Wine-mono and installed. It did not work.

I went on to try installing .NET manually onto the WoT virtual disk and restart the WoT installation; it helps by not prompting for mono;

However, it breaks now when it tries to download WoT installer. The download looks like it did not happen. Any advise?

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

You can't run mono and .net in the same virtual drive, because it breaks.

Just use the script to install. Don't add stuff on top of it.

So, first, as per forum rules, post up your debug output and all computer specs. Graphics card too. You can learn to do this via the stickies at the top of the forum.

Post that up. I think I may already know what is wrong.

Hello,

Sorry. Didnt see the debug output... checking.

I knew it

err:winediag:SECUR32_initNTLMSP ntlm_auth was not found or is outdated. Make sure that ntlm_auth >= 3.0.25 is in your path. Usually, you can find it in the winbind package of your distribution.

Newer versions of OSX do not come with Samba anymore, so you need to install it from here. After you install samba, restart your computer, COMPLETELY remove the virtual drive for WoT, and reinstall.

Without winbind, you will have issues with network stuff (without getting too technical), and that is making your installation fail because the downloads fail.

Ill be completely honest; WoT on OSX is our most problematic game for Mac. It really runs like crap or not at all on most peoples systems for random reasons.

Judging by the rest ofyour computers specs, you should be ok, as long as your graphics card's video memory is up to spec.

Also, a lot of people pay no attention to the instructions that are given in the script. The script says to:

Attention: After installation is complete, the patcher will load. Please close the patcher before logging in or finish updating to complete the installation. After this, you can run "$TITLE" when setup is done

Make sure you do this, as the script will for SURE fail if this step is not followed. Literally, when the patcher pops up during install, close or cancel the patcher, and let PlayOnMac finish its thing. When PlayOnMac finishes, then run WoT and let it patch/update.

Hey there,

first I wanna say how I appreciate the effort that's gone into supporting PoM and WoT. It would be perfectly understandable if every thread here ended with "get a PC if you want to play games".

A small feedback to this topic; when I installed WoT/PoM I remember receiving this instruction, but I was not at all clear what "the patcher" would look like. ISTR I let it run for ages before thinking "woah, maybe THIS is the thing I'm supposed to abort!". So maybe the instruction to the end user could be made more clear.

Keep up the good work, especially DJYosha, who I've not seen lose his patience in all the posts I've read so far :-)

Well, I have a few times. :) lol. but I try not to.
