#20778 new defect
Game crashing when VirtualBox Host-Only Adapter is present and enabled
| Reported by: | g051051 | Owned by: | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Component: | network | Version: | VirtualBox 6.1.32 |
| Keywords: | Cc: | ||

Description
The game XIII from GoG crashes on startup when the VirtualBox Host-Only adapter is installed and enabled. This is 100% reproducible on my system, and has been confirmed on another system. The game is installed and running on the host, not VirtualBox. VirtualBox doesn't have to be running for the crash to occur.
When the game starts, it apparently enumerates all of the active network adapters and attempts to check something on each one. The response from the VirtualBox Host-Only Adapter results in the game crashing.
This was determined by launching the game in a debugger and stepping backward from the crash with time-travel debugging. The code just before the crash was making network related calls.
I don't know if this is a defect in the game, or a defect in the adapter, just that disabling the adapter fixes the problem, and enabling it causes the issue to return.

I wonder if this is the old problem with multicast metrics that windows computes based on phase of moon and saturn transit. What does netstat -rn say and does manually setting the interface multicast metrics help (ticket:8698#comment:4)?

Changing the interface multicast metrics as suggested didn't help.
This is a thread on the GoG forums discussing the issue, and shows this fix working for someone else as well: https://www.gog.com/forum/xiii/cant_launch_the_game_critical_error_cant_find_file_for_package_windrv
