The download links aren't currently working. "All free download slots are in use." Might be just me.

Could try minus.com?

Thaks for the tip to use Minus.com. It looks like it'll make this much easier. I just posted new builds. I advise everyone with any type of problem to use the new version.  Try the one without any numerical suffixes first, as I hope the new setup script and launcher will fix things. All updates and the new link is in my original post.

edit: Is it possible to implement an auto-update mode? It would be very handy for using with an multi monitor setup.

I thought about that and did leave that path available, though I didn't fully implement it yet. I may do so if the majority of people here can get the current version(s) working and find it useful.

Clicking on the download link still take you to rapidshare. Copy/paste the link and it works for me. Now to go try this out.

Thanks OP!

Btw - only suggested minus cause guest/temp acct, though it might help with rapidshare or filefactory being full. Didn't mean to make you sign up

Lol. Fixed it now.  I guess copy and pasting text over the old hyperlinks just changed the text and not the target of the links.

Also, I quickly re-upped all three zip files again as a I forgot to un-comment one line in the Troubleshooter batch file, hehe. It's no biggy and only gets used if you're Java install is missing a setting.

None of them are doing anything for me. Sorry, but I think I'll stop trying now.

What does the JavaHomeTroubleshooter say if you run it?

[fittyman]

Running the Java TS file I get" this file is not currently in the root directory of a valid install".

I installed Wincap, I went to run Setep and a window pops up and immediately closes before I can even begin to read anything : (

If it's saying that, that means JAVA_HOME is not set. So option one is to go find the Program File directory for a specific Java JRE (contained in a root Java program file folder) and drop the TS script there and run it from that folder.

Or, you can get the new Automated Troubleshooter script from the Minus.com folder. Run that anywhere and it should fix if you're on Windows 7.

After that, you can try running it using MEPinger.bat instead of MEPinger.exe if the exe still doesn't work. The simplest way to run it is probably by using the batch since it boils it down to the simplest command it needs.

I'm on Win 7 64-bit, and I downloaded the 1.0.1b file. I extract the .zip and run the setup file, and as mentioned above, a window pops up then immediately closes without any prompt for action. I tried installing WinPcap before and after, but I have no MePinger.exe visible in my extracted folder. Running the .bat file prompts an error message about Java's home folder.

I just updated Java to the latest version so that shouldn't be a problem. Did I use the correct build? Any standout issues that would provide a quick fix for me? Is the location of the extracted files significant? It's just sitting in my default download folder currently.

EDIT:

Also, I forgot to say thanks!  Your hard work is appreciated man, cheers for the useful utility!

If its a message about the Java Home folder, that means JAVA_HOME is missing, so you need to use one of the two JavaHomeTroubleShooter scripts. The Automated one can be run from anywhere, but I dont' know how "universal" it is. Try it first. The other one you have to plop in the root directory of your Java install in the Program Files/Java/xxxx directory and run.

If the AutomatedJavaHomeTroubleshooter works fine, then maybe I'll just incorporate it into the setup script. I'll also add some "pause" lines to the setup script too since that confuses people as it just disappears without saying anything.

I got the updated version and it seems to work after I get into a match. It doesn't seem to find the host or ping while in lobbies though. Or am I misunderstanding the way it works and it doesn't actually work until the match starts?

It works in lobbies or on the loading screen. At least it does for me. Is it a consistent issue?

This is awesome. I have a question, though. How good a connection quality indicator is latency? I have a fairly terrible match completion rate due to connection loss, so this is just as important to me as ping. Is there a way to estimate packet loss %?

At any rate, massive kudos for providing something the community has been asking for since day one.

[Twistoon]

even when running as administrator and using the new version, the exe file just closes down after opening and the .bat file says: Error: Unable to access jarfile lib\\MePinger.jar

The Java Home Variable is set to the path of the java directory

It's important too. I don't have it currently since I'm using small sample sizes for the ping measurements (3 pings before averaging). That would give a wildly misleading packet loss number since the sample size is so small. That's to minimize the time it takes before yielding a result. I have a few optimizations in mind for that though and will probably add this.

I had this on another computuer I tested with too, but I thought I fixed it. I'll look into it.

After some tweaking, I got it to run. The problem I had was with the "path" environment variable not pointing towards the directory that contains the java executable (shouldn't this be configured by the java installer?). This can be accessed from Control Panel - System - Advanced - Environment Variables. I wouldn't recommend messing with that unless you know exactly what you are doing.

The batch files included seemed to have trouble getting the JAVA_HOME variable right as well... though that's probably related to UAC (access denied etc).

Good to hear! I didn't want to mess with the path variable since that isn't more or less "harmless" like JAVA_HOME. I've also found the PATH variable to be ignored during certain Java installs. I have no idea why it works sometimes and doesn't others. I'll try messing around with a few things to see if I can't get past the security issue.

Current things I'm doing:
1) Optimizing it to not take so long (a lot of empty waiting time)
2) Realtime mode

 The program doesn't work for me
All I get in lobbies and in games is two beeps and that's it, no host list. I'm on windows vista 32, WinPcap is whitelisted in the firewall settings. I'm using an internet key to connect. Would it help if I send you the debug.log?

Sorry to hear that. Yes, that would help.

As a general note to anyone else with problems:

If no debug.log is generated in the program folder, that more than likely means that the problem is a problem with either JAVA_HOME, Java in general, or security issues messing up the setup. If there is a debug.log, then that means that something went wrong in the program after it started. In that case, feel free to send me the logs.

I haven't tried to capture the host while the loading screen before the lobby is running, maybe I will try that.  I haven't had it work for me actually in the lobby at all.  Works in game though.

That's possible I guess, since the game probably minimizes communication between players while in the lobby unless something changes. Most of the communication is probably to the EA servers for matchmaking. During loading into the lobby though, there is definitely player-to-player communication going on.

Personally, I use it during the load screen as sometimes resolving IPs and ping requests take a short while to process if someone is on a bad connection on the other side of the planet.

I'm adding a realtime mode of sorts that should negate some of this though. Plus some optimizations to minimize waiting too.

BTW, thank you for your efforts, BW should really have implemented something like this for MP.

[anddill]

Now not even the installer works for me:

This batch file will set the JAVA_HOME environment variable on your system shoul
d it be nonexistent or inproperly configured.
It will do so by finding your Java install(s) based on their registry keys. Then
it will select one and set JAVA_HOME to that.


JRE Registry Entry: C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jre7
JRE Registry Entry: C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jre7
FEHLER: Der Zugriff auf den Registrierungspfad wurde verweigert.
JAVA_HOME value now set:
Drücken Sie eine beliebige Taste . . .
Continuing with set-up but you may need to fix JAVA_HOME before running.
Drücken Sie eine beliebige Taste . . .
"GOTO" kann syntaktisch an dieser Stelle nicht verarbeitet werden.

But after running the "AutomatedJavaHomeTroubleshooter" the first Version now works for me. Unfortunately it never delivers a value for the ping. I suppose this is becouse of the routing.

Thanks for the feedback. I checked on that and found a few errors in the batch scripts. I think they are fixed now and I also found a UAC-concious piece of script that I popped in them.

I just uploaded a new version with updated scripts and a tweaked program that should yield information a bit faster than the previous versions. I also slightly modified the launchers (BAT and EXE), though I think the changes to the setup and automated troubleshooter should make a difference.

I'm getting ping as "not available" for everyone. I'm behind a router. Any port forwarding tips?
