As the WoT 9.8 Common Test Client [HD] needs 64-bit - what is the best Microsoft Windows bottle to install the HD client into so I can run in OS X 10.10.3?

Or is there an official WoT 9.8 Common Test Client [HD] wrapper?

It looks like Wine supports the WoW64 environment if the WINARCH=win64 is enabled -is that correct?

If so, are there plans to have WoT wrapper that supports WoW64?

The HD client is actually a 32 bit executable, but it demands a 64 bit operating system to have 4 GB of address space available. Shouldn't be hard to run, we only have to pretend to be a 64 bit Windows.

So how do we pretend to be a 64-bit Windows client OS?

My iMac has 32GB RAM and my MacBook Pro Retina has 16GB RAM so the 4GB address space should be no issue.

There's nothing you can do unfortunately, we have to change this in our wrapper. Matteo is working on it.

Any news on the change to the wrapper?

Thanks

Matteo has put a hack into the wrapper, I've put in a place for the FPS fix. I think the changes are making their way through the QA queue, but I don't know much about the details how the update release process works :-\ .

The public version should be updated. Have a look at the SD / HD dropdown in the game launcher.

I am now running OS X 10.11.x on a mid-2015 27-inch iMac Retina with the 4GB AMD Radeon R9 M395X video card.

The WoT Mac Wrapper still appears to be Client 1.025.

According to your Blog codeweavers [hopefully that is the right case] now has a AMD Radeon R9 - are there any updates coming to WoT Mac Wrapper for that card?

I would run WoT in CrossOver 15 but it does not run the HD client. Are there material differences between SD and HD clients? If so, what are they?
