Changing Orb on Mac

So I've upgraded to latest Xlink Kai firmware on Mac.

Whenever I try to change orbs, it just says detached from engine and stays there. I'm having issues seeing all rooms.

Try doing it the old fashioned way https://www.teamxlink.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=43915&sid=5da828106c1b8030515638aaba414fd4

You won't be able to see rooms if you're detached from the engine.

MasturB hey man I think I can help.

First off, since you upgraded to 7.4.30, you are correct by right-clicking the xlink icon and changing your orb there from the pop-up menu. As of today, there are 3 possibly 4 working orbitals. ( Poutine, LA, Canada, SixthGenGaming).

Now you mentioned when you click the new orbital you get detached from engine, THAT IS CORRECT. What you must do is this. Once you select the orbital you are switching to, hurry and close the xlink window entirely. You will notice, a brand new window pops up. Wait a few seconds for the window to appear and then click REFRESH on the internet search bar.

If done correctly, you will notice you are on the selected orbital by clicking Metrics.

There IS AN OLD WAY, which has been graciously mentioned by Demon27248. This IS a way you can change your orbital as well, but with the update to the 7.4.30 engine, there is no reason to use this method any longer. However I will post the code that runs my MAC OS with a link to the sixthgengaming orbital since i do not know the other addresses offhand.
