Every gaming application releases an update from time to time. This action also occurs with the WoT multiplayer game application. But what to do if suddenly after the update World of Tanks does not start.
Do not panic and delete your favorite game
The first step is to try to run the "exe" file located in the installation folder of the game. If there are no changes, then you should use the newly downloaded archive with updates and reinstall. Installation should be performed by launching the archive with the option "Install with replacement".
Another common mistake of gamers is the disconnected Internet - after all, observing the installation rule (download - disable the Internet - install - restart the computer - connect the Internet - launch the game application) not everyone completes it to the end. An incorrectly installed or corrupted DirectX can also be a problem.
You can fix the error by reinstalling it or installing a newer version of it.
The problem may lie in the installed old mods or cheat mod packs. If there is no desire to abandon the indicated latest mods, then it is worth demolishing them and re-uploading them. If the computer runs on two video cards, the updated version of the game may “not decide” on which one it works best. In this case, it is worth trying to launch the game with the video cards turned off one by one.
With the release of each update, you should go to the game website and read the recommendations latest update and discussions about why World of Tanks does not start after the update. In it you can find a very common remark, which few people pay attention to when installing updates.
An update is released for certain versions of the software. If there are inconsistencies between the update file and the software (the operating version is not suitable or the computer has low technical characteristics), then no reinstallation and restart will be able to help launch the game.
You should not resort to downloading updates for the game from sites that are not representatives of this application.
Since the archives may contain viruses, which can subsequently harm computer equipment and the application itself. All of the above may be an obstacle to running an updated application. Therefore, the most important thing is to use official updates and carefully read the installation requirements.
Try starting the game in safe mode first, which will allow you to disconnect from all modifications and check if all game files are up to date and working. To do this is simple, you just need to click on the arrow when launching the game, as shown in the image below.
If that doesn't help, then try the second option - " Launching the game with reset graphics settings«
Each player has encountered the fact that World of Tanks crashes during the battle. This is one of those situations that you wouldn't wish even on your opponent. There may be just a few reasons, or there may be a whole combination.
In any case, it's worth taking active troubleshooting and troubleshooting steps as soon as possible that are causing the game to crash.
Systematic ignoring of these factors can serve as an alarm bell and mean that the computer will stop working and it will no longer be destined to win.
All reasons can be divided into just a few categories:
Problems, the elimination of which is possible by the player himself.
problems that are caused by factors beyond the control of the player.
The most important among the first is the factor of unstable Internet connection. Possible "symptoms" - the game starts, continues until a certain moment, then the picture suddenly stops or loops.
And so the fastest methods to check are:
1)
Disable any antivirus software.
Or putting them in game mode, very often helps to solve the problem.
2)
Opened laucher
with the game World of Tanks. Go to settings and select - support - check and restore the integrity of the game
. The integrity check and game update, reinstallation will begin. Problem solved.
3)
Update all drivers
(first of all for the video card) Wargaming also always recommends turning off the obligatory NVIDIA PhysX for NVIDIA video cards (set by default).
Do not panic, it is better to immediately begin to solve this problem
Make sure that there are enough funds on the personal account in the provider's personal account to pay for the period of using the Internet. If at the moment there is no required amount, but you need to finish the match, you can use a temporary trust replenishment, now many providers provide this service. If you can’t even enter your personal account, then it’s obvious that the problems are in the cable.
The above methods should help solve the problem, it definitely helped us, if you find out any other way, write in the comments.
The second group of factors should include such situations when all the equipment is working, but World of Tanks crashes during the battle as before. The reason may be maintenance work on the server. As a rule, the administration notifies each player and, as an apology, makes small compensation gifts. It remains only to wait until the server is up and running again.
The first difficulties can begin even at the stage of the game launcher. If the launcher crashes after launch, you will need to configure it correctly.
- Delete the Updates and Wargaming.net folders from the Windows system folders: XP C:\Documents and Settings\UseName\Local Settings\temp, Vista and Win 7 C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Temp
- We start the launcher again, specifying port 6881 and using a torrent connection.
- Add the game to the firewall and antivirus exceptions (if you use a standard firewall, this is done directly in the launcher settings).
Launcher hangs, gear is spinning
If you see a similar picture, try the following steps:
Game crashes after pressing "Play"
Launcher started normally, but when you click the "Play" button, it does not start or the game client itself crashes? The following options are possible.
System requirements do not match
Although WoT does well on older PCs, there are minimum requirements without which the game will not run. Only a computer upgrade will help. 
Wrong graphics settings
Crashes are possible if you used graphics settings higher than the computer can "pull". Difficulties can begin both during the battle and at the very start of the game.
For a solution, choose more modest graphics settings, starting with the recommended settings. 
Rights and Compatibility Issues
Security systems in new operating systems (from Vista and newer) do not always give games a comfortable environment to run. Try running Tanki as administrator and in compatibility mode.
- Right-click on the WoT shortcut and select "Properties".
- Go to the "Compatibility" tab.
- We set the level of rights and check the various compatibility modes.
Video card drivers not working
To run the game correctly and ensure good performance, be sure to take care of installing drivers for your video card.
- Visit the NVIDIA or AMD/ATI website to find a driver for your device.
- Select your video card model from the list on the website.
- Download the full installer (we do not recommend using the update).
- Install drivers.
Missing Windows system components
For the correct operation of Tanks, a lot of auxiliary programs are required. If they are not on the computer, World of Tanks will not start. Let's briefly go through the components necessary for launching.link).
individual case
If all the above recommendations did not help, you should contact the Wargaming.net support forum to resolve the issue. To get an accurate decision, be as informative as possible when making an application.
- PC configuration;
- under what circumstances the game crashes;
- what have already been tried to solve;
We hope that these methods will allow you to solve the issue of the client crash, and help you enjoy the game of Tanks to the fullest. If none of this helped, try deleting and re-writing, or write in the comments, we will try to help you.
Slows down World of Tanks? Or do you have a weak computer? Or did you enter the game after the next update and WoT began to slow down terribly? If all this is familiar to you, but this course of events does not suit you, then we read this article to the end, delving into every line of the text. And, if everything is done correctly, then you will part with the brakes of the game forever ...
So let's start:
Why World of Tanks slows down:
First, let's check such a banal thing as system requirements. I know, I know, now start:
So, minimum system requirements for playing world of tanks:
Operating system: Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10.
256 Kbps.
Processor (CPU): and here is the most interesting in 2014 this figure was 2.2 GHz, in 2015 added to the numbers: "supporting SSE2 technology", a in 2016, the numbers 2.2 GHz were removed, but written in words "With two or more physical cores"(but as far as I know, 2 cores began to be released as soon as the processor frequency exceeded the threshold of 2.6 GHz, so we draw conclusions)
Random access memory (RAM): 1.5 GB for Windows XP, 2 GB for Windows Vista, Windows 7/8/10.
Video adapter: GeForce 6800/ ATI HD X2400 XT with 256 MB of memory, DirectX 9.0c.
Audio: compatible with DirectX 9.0c.
about 27 GB.
The minimum requirements, therefore, are minimal because you start the game, but it will be difficult to play comfortably, believe me. So it is unlikely that the client will be able to remove the “brakes” and “freezes”. Here you can’t do without upgrading your hardware ... The parts recommended for replacement are, of course, the processor, video card and RAM ...
Operating system: Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10 - 64-bit.
Internet connection speed: 1024 kbps or higher (for voice chat).
Processor (CPU): Intel Core i5-3330 (for those who do not know: 4 cores at 3 GHz - not sickly).
Random access memory (RAM): 4 GB (or more).
Video adapter: GeForce GTX660 (2 GB) / Radeon HD 7850 2 GB, DirectX 9.0c.
Audio card: compatible with DirectX 9.0c.
Free hard disk space:~36 GB.
The recommended requirements are certainly not exorbitant, but for old computers it is, as they say, “like walking to China” and if you are reading this article, then you have something in between these two characteristics. As usual, either the video is weak, or the RAM is not enough, or the percentage was inherited from someone's "piece of iron"
Slows down World of Tanks! Well, what can be done here?
If you have lags and brakes due to the processor and even more so if this very processor is single-core, then you can’t do anything about it, will have to change, well, he “does not take out” the game now, although in 2014 it was still possible to play on this ... alas
By the way, I wrote about how to choose a good computer in an article, I recommend reading it.
Next comes random access memory (RAM). What can be done with her? Physically, of course, nothing. But you can, after all, remove unnecessary garbage, all the programs that are loaded in your tray (who doesn’t know, the tray is where the Windows clock is, usually the lower right corner). That's why you need all sorts of managers there when playing (viber, mail, icq, skype, etc.) - close it! Torrent?! Definitely OFF! Not only does he "eat" the operative, he also clogs the Internet channel. Next, the browser, brrrr ... Look in the manager how much Google Chrome “eats”. Be horrified! We close! The rest of the browsers (because they also consume a lot), we also close it! I would even close the antivirus for the duration of the game (by the way, NOD32 has a game mode that frees up a certain amount of RAM for games), and it’s not possible to completely disable any antivirus so simply.
Special aesthetes use programs like Wise Memory Optimizer, which clean up memory from unused data (personally, I would not recommend using these, because I myself caught the “blue screen of death” on a test computer with winXR installed).
It’s better, of course, to buy RAM up to a decent 4 GB, especially if you have an old computer, then the RAM for it (DDR, DDR2) will cost mere pennies, and the comfort from it will be felt for a very, very long time. On the test machine, I played on a dual-channel RAMe (DDR2) of 4 GB (2x2GB) and everything was fine!
Next in line is ours video card.
If there is not enough video memory, then we try to remove the excess using the program W.O.T. Tweaker downloading it for the current version of the game client on the Internet. In the tweaker, you can remove such extras. effects that cannot be disabled from the game client, such as flying dirt from under the tracks, optical effects from a burning tank, etc. But it's worth it, trust me!
If the fps in the game shows too little 5-10, then you can try starting the client in "safe mode": 
this will disable all installed mods and you can safely say that fps sags due to mods. For example, I met fps drawdown from mod . About more detailed graphics settings, I will post a video clip at the end of the article. Read more…
It happens to someone that the computer hardware is far from weak, and up to the latest versions, and in the tray it doesn’t hang out anything extra (like a torrent), but the worl of tanks slows down anyway. Then the problem is most likely in the Internet provider. Pay attention to the ping in the game, if it exceeds 50 ms, then something is wrong, or the provider is to blame, or you are running some kind of program that requires an Internet connection, or a virus, such as a Trojan, has got into your computer, which constantly sends packages on your internet channel.
A word about 3G modems
Pro 3G modems(4G modems) I don't want to talk here. A whole article has been written about this:. In it, I explained why everything is so bad when playing via a USB modem and which WoT game server you don’t connect to, the ping is still huge, sometimes up to 300 ms. It remains only to regret such people who, apart from 3G, do not have any i-net, and there are not a few of them. And to say that the world of tanks is slowing down for them is to say nothing ...
Well, and probably the last reason that lies in the operating system itself. As the programmers say “windows must die” ... And they don’t say it for nothing. During the operation of Windows, any slag is collected in the system registry, ranging from old entries about long-deleted programs and games to new entries from some satellite mail, Yandex browser and, God forbid, from some kind of virus that alone can create up to a million false registry entries in order to load the full percent.
So, over time, all this loads the work of the operating system itself, then how long it takes for programs to start running or the same text editor opens or saves documents for a very long time. Here know that Windows has come to an end. And do not expect from her super speeds and even more comfortable playing WoT.
There are only 2 ways out. The easiest and almost painless for the brain is to remove Windows and install a new one. The second is to start a complete cleaning of the computer, removing unnecessary programs, defragmenting disks, cleaning the registry. Long and painful. But it's up to you.
Well, as promised, at the end of the article I post video from the developers themselves(by the way, many thanks to them for it) about how to optimize graphics in World of Tanks. This video talks in detail about what fps is and what each slider in the settings is responsible for, how you can achieve an increase in fps and what it will cost.
Adjusting graphics in WoT since version 1.0
And that's all for me! Many thanks to all those who mastered this article to the end! Good luck in setting up the client, huge fps for you and no lags, so that later you don’t ask why World of Tanks is slowing down.
Do not forget to share in the comments who and how defeated lags, brakes and friezes in World of Tanks. After all, your comment can help a hundred or even a thousand people!
Dear players, before asking your question, take the trouble to read all the comments, perhaps there is already an answer to it. All duplicate questions will be ignored. Thanks for understanding!
Quite often, people encounter a problem that annoys them the most in this world. Alas, she is not connected with the neighbors and their constant friction, not connected with the mother-in-law, who is already so tired that sometimes it is simply impossible to endure. Everything is much simpler, but so annoying, because so many players faced a similar problem, when you first registered for what seems like an eternity, then downloaded the game for even longer, and it is huge, even though the Internet is just useless. Yes, yes, every already experienced player remembers his first day in the game, or rather outside of it, while he had to spend a whole day, or even more, to finally play such an alluring world of tanks game. Many beginners face this problem and, unfortunately, there is no getting around it. But, even this is not as frustrating for the player as the situation when a newly loaded world game of tanks crashes on launch. Then everyone immediately rushes into a rage, because it is unbearable how much they suffer with installing the game and downloading the necessary updates, and as a result, nothing works. Very often this happens both among new players and among experienced players who have played the game for a long time, and then for no reason the game stopped launching.
As for the problem of launching the World of Tanks client for those people who have just begun to delve into this wonderful game, everything is quite simple here, since many of them simply do not read the minimum requirements for the game. For people of this type, Wargaming has compiled a number of recommendations for launching the game and possible problems, which may prevent the client from starting. The fact is that the very first thing you need to make sure that the machine on which you want to play world of tanks has the technical specifications necessary for this, and they should be as follows:
Operating system on the Windows platform of any of their versions such as XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10;
- the presence of an Internet connection with a speed above 256 Kbps;
- a central processor with at least two active cores, with a power of 2.2 GHz;
- the presence of RAM with a capacity of 2 GB or more, for a more comfortable game it is recommended
use a computer with 4 GB of RAM;
- graphics card with at least 256 MB of memory and DirectX 9.0c installed;
- the sound card must also be compatible with DirectX 9.0c;
- in addition, for installation and a comfortable game, it is recommended to have at least 20 GB
free space on your drive.
Very often, it is precisely because of non-compliance with the minimum characteristics of the machine that the game does not start or works very poorly. To avoid unnecessary workload, customer support recommends that you familiarize yourself with these characteristics. In addition to the availability of the necessary technical characteristics of the computer, there are requirements for the software that must be installed on the computer, since during the game it is it that is used for its normal functioning. Such software includes the following tools:
Have the latest graphics card drivers installed, depending on
from its manufacturer (NVIDIA, Radeon, Intel);
- if you have problems with sound during the game, it is recommended to update and install
latest version of drivers for computer sound card (drivers must be
used exclusively from the official website of the developer);
- in addition to these two very important components, the player's computer must have
the latest version of DirectX is installed without fail, taken from the official site
Microsoft company;
- requires the presence of such libraries for the functioning of the game as a Microsoft add-on
Visual C++ 2008 and Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 according to your operating system
systems;
- also make sure that you have installed such versions of the NET Framework program as 1,
3, 3.5 and 4.0, since without their installation, the game will not work the same as without previous programs.
guaranteed;
- do not forget about installing such a useful add-on as nVidia Physx.
There are cases, both among beginners and experienced players, when even after installing all the necessary software package, the game does not want to start. In this case, there is a place to talk about whether your computer is infected with viruses. Recently, it was they who most often began to block access to the game, as well as steal personal data of players to which logins, passwords and email addresses belong. The question of why world of tanks crashes at launch and already regular players does not cease to torment. The fact is that there are millions of such people around the world and their problems are very different depending on the cause of their occurrence. Someone installed latest modifications, which block files and lead to a general crash, so the game closes, someone accidentally deleted the necessary file instead of deleting add-ons, and someone simply interrupted the updates, and as a result of this, a failure occurred, after which the game stopped starting. In most cases, the usual reinstallation of the game helps, which not only completely creates all the original files, but also clears the game of modifications. It happens that the game crashes when starting world of tanks and for those who have already used this recommendation and reinstalled the game, but still something is not right. Quite often this is due to damage to the operating system, which over time from the moment of installation is clogged with unnecessary programs and many files that not only load its work, but can also interrupt the normal functioning of everything in it. Therefore, its usual reinstallation also very often solves all the problems that may arise both while working with this game and during the launch of other games.
Many bugs in the game itself are not excluded to this day, which developers, for some reason, are in no hurry to solve. Therefore, there are times when it is these bugs that lead to the problem of launching the game and enjoying the direct gameplay. Like other well-known errors of departure from the battle itself, loading tanks in the air or the usual hovering in battle out of the blue, there is an error that is directly related to the departure of the client. A bug that closes the game while minimizing to the game panel and many, many others. All this is possible even despite the fact that you have just downloaded the game and you have all the gaming software necessary for a successful launch, and the hardware is so cool that Jov himself can envy him. If after all this the game still crashes, then you are welcome to "bomb" the game's user support service as soon as possible. Perhaps they will not only help you solve the problem associated with the game crashing at startup, but also think that if the number of requests related to the game and errors in it increases, then it might be worth considering fixing them. And, of course, if you have tried all the methods and nothing helps, then you definitely need to contact them as often as possible and then the developers will finally start thinking about the simplest players and their problems and take care of everything.
After all, the errors that we are facing day after day have accumulated over many years from the day the game was created and released to people, and no one wants to deal with them, which is very, very sad, given that the game has gained such popularity among people worldwide.
Solutions to the problem:
Problem solving
