no connection to dl-server after starting mod-installer

[vhalade]

Hej!

Since 3 October, the installer has been unable to connect. It cannot check whether there is a new version available and it cannot download necessary DLC (e.g. contour icons or crosshairs). Error downloading files: mod-name.7z Error sending data: 12157

 

Older versions (I still had the installer for 1.29) can also no longer check whether there is a newer version available. This worked perfectly with the same installer until 2 October (until then, I still have various DLC files in in the dl_cache directory).

 

I'm running WoT on Linux since more then 1 year and never had troubles using the mod-pack. Now I wonder where the problem comes from: from my side (although I didn't change anything) or on DL-server side.

 

Thank you very much for your great work over so many years!

Hi!

 

I'm experiencing the same exact issue!

 

I'm a Linux user as well.

sorry, forgot the log-files.

here you are:

Try VPn maybe? Its not the bug in the installer

I have the same problem, installer can't check for updates and errors when trying to download files

[vhalade]

workaround here:

- look for the missing files names in aslains installer log (search for error downloading file, for me around line 700)

- manually download the necessary files with your browser (e.g. https://repo.aslain.com/WoT/Armor_Inspector_3.16.1_2.0.1.0.7z )

- save the files in aslain modpack/dl cache

- start the installer, click ok for version-check and ignore it. continue as usual. no more errors after this one.

- update filenames and download files when new versions come out (you'll know when you see new error messages appear)

 

-------------------------------------------

 

info @aslain:

- i didn't try VPN (i don't know where / at what point). i have access to internet, wot itself runs fine within the same WINE-config/settings, i can check the version in my browser, i can download from repo.aslain.com in my browser.

- i tried different dns-server (from my provider, 1.1.1.1, 8.8.8.8) - the result was always the same.

 

Dziękuję za twój wysiłek.   (sorry, i don't speak polish)

update (and solved?):

No error message during version check with  Aslain's WoT ModPack v2.0.1.0 #03

(dlc's skipped because they were already on the computer)

 

Self-healing powers or the magic hands of Aslain?

[Krazar]

The error message before the installation starts does not show for me neither in the #03 version, however the individual mod errors are still present the same way they are on your screenshots.

Forexample Battlehits.

hmmm. what a pity. Can you handle my workaround?

[dalf]

Having the exact same issue myself, linux user, VPN changes nothing - issue started the same day.

 

I recently ran the option to delete DL cache and now I've lost a lot more mods sadly. 

 

When I look at the log and try to find mods according to the above workaround, I find that I can't find a lot of the mods, the first big example is Aslain's Simple Icons

 

edit: I get it now, I've got it working via the workaround for now. hopefully this will be an issue that goes away in the future by itself :)

for anyone feeling stupid like me, you just copy the mod name into the URL above (https://repo.aslain.com/WoT/*) replacing the * with the modname from the log
