First of all, remember if you recently installed new . If the error occurs after installing them, just clear the /res_mods folder in the root directory of the game.
If it's not about mods, you should check the relevance of the drivers installed on your computer. In particular:
- Nvidia or Radeon graphics card driver
- DirectX driver
Why doesn't the World of Tanks launcher work?
What is a launcher for World of Tanks- a launcher, or rather a launcher (from the English launcher - to launch, a starter) is a program for launching an application. In this case, this is the window in which you see the "Play" button.
There are a lot of reasons for the inoperability of the wot launcher. But most often they are associated with problems installing updates which we will mention below. That is, this game launch error is not associated with you or your PC. This is a Wargaming problem and developers are already working on fixing it. Just wait a bit and the problem will fix itself when it comes out world update of Tanks with a patch for this bug.
World of Tanks launcher not working on Windows
This problem is very common in various versions of the operating system. Microsoft Windows. The launcher error can occur on:
- Windows 7;
- Windows 8;
- Windows 8.1;
- Windows XP;
- Windows 10.
What to do?
The easiest way to solve the launcher error when starting the game for all versions of Windows. You need to open the folder where it is installed world game of Tanks and run the worldoftanks.exe executable file there. So you start the game bypassing the launcher. But remember that you must have an up-to-date version of World of Tanks, only then you can use this instructions for fixing the error with the launcher.
Critical error in World of Tanks failed to install the update
The main problems with the World of Tanks game are related to updates. During the update process, wot can:
- hang internet,
- the update server is temporarily unavailable,
- the update itself may not be correct specifically for your hardware configuration or game with mods installed on it.
If you were unable to install the update, you should try to start the update download process again. To do this, use the wot launcher we talked about above. If it does, you need to uninstall and reinstall the game.
World of Tanks script error
This category of problems is related to the fact that World of Tanks cannot run the command execution script to launch and run the game normally. Typically, this error occurs due to the fact that an antivirus is installed on the player's computer that controls key features. It can block certain files on the PC, depending on the antivirus settings.
Also, the script error is related to the inability of the updated version of World of Tanks to recognize the current versions of the files in the game folder. This is due to errors when updating the game or due to the scripts being corrupted in some way. Checking the hash and checksum of all files downloaded from the World of Tanks website or simply reinstalling the game will help here.
Error 0xc000007b
Perhaps one of the most common problems associated with games is error 0xc000007b. She means that Windows system files are corrupted or you have customized the operating system, restricting the ability to run certain libraries.
It happens that players abuse graphics settings, causing problems for the video card driver to execute certain sets of commands required for . To fix this error, try to set the default values where you changed them.
World of Tanks game won't start d3dx9_43.dll error
The d3dx9_43.dll file is the DirectX standard library. To resolve this error, install latest version DirectX to your computer. Please note that on some Windows versions and other OS drivers are not installed as standard. Moreover, they are not included in the delivery and are third party application. Just about everyone uses it. Therefore, this set of drivers must be installed manually. Then the error d3dx9_43.dll in World of Tanks will be eliminated.
The World of Tanks project has found many fans around the world, but many of us sometimes have a problem - World of Tanks does not start. Let's try to figure out what can cause this phenomenon and how to solve this problem. I will make a reservation right away - it is understood that your computer is fully consistent system requirements for this game, the Windows operating system is installed on it, as well as the latest drivers for motherboard, video cards and other equipment.
Two main types of problems can be distinguished - the game launcher does not start and the client itself does not start. Let's look at each of them.
Problem: when launching WOTLauncher, the message “Critical error. Failed to install updates. The application cannot be continued. Detailed information is available in the log file."
Solution :
1) delete the wargaming.net folder located along the path C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Temp (for Windows 7 and Vista operating systems) or C:\Documents and Settings\UseName\Local Settings\temp (for Windows XP ),
2) delete the Updates folder from the root directory of the game;
3) restart the launcher and specifying the port number 6881 in the settings, allow it to use torrent sessions.
Problem: the World of Tanks launcher does not start, while the gear icon is constantly spinning.
Solution #1: Reset your Internet Explorer browser settings;
Solution #2: Update your Java and Adobe Flash software to the latest version available from the software manufacturer's website;
Solution #3: Try reinstalling Internet Explorer.
Problem: The launcher starts and immediately disappears.
Solution: Try reinstalling Internet Explorer.
Problem: when starting the launcher, the message “An unhandled exception is occurred. The application will be restarted".
Solution: Uninstall "Microsoft Visual C++" components from your PC, then reinstall them from the official website in the following order: Version 2010, then version 2008 (for 86-bit systems) or SP1 version 2008, then version 2010 (for 64-bit systems) ).
Problem: The launcher has loaded, but the Play button is greyed out.
Solution: Try reinstalling Internet Explorer.
Problem: The launcher loaded, but the status bar says "Updating bootloader: Checking for updates."
Solution: Try resetting your DNS settings.
Now let's move on to cases when World of Tanks does not start at the level of the game client. In most cases, the problem is in outdated drivers, however, since we decided at the beginning of the article that everything is fine with the software, then you can fix the problem in one of the following ways: - try adding the game folder to the trusted area of your antivirus software; - using programs that come with video cards, reset their settings to their original value; - try to "roll back" the DirectX version to version 10.0.
The next part of the text is for those who want to run World of Tanks on other operating systems. If you have Linux, then you cannot do without the wine program version 1.6 or higher - a native client for this OS family has not yet been created. The same applies to computers with MacOS - but for them there is a ported game client that can be downloaded from any torrent.
In general, the World of Tanks game is distinguished from many others by a well-organized support service and forum. So if you did not find a solution in this article, then try to contact the official website of the project indicating your own problem or study the corresponding forum thread - there will surely be the information you need.
Probably there is no such young person in Russia who has not heard about World of Tanks - an online real-time game in the genre of an arcade tank simulator based on World War II. Addictive gameplay that combines shooter, strategy and RPG at the same time has attracted millions of fans around the world. As a result, Tanks became the most popular online game in 2012, 2013 and 2014. And even now interest in it does not weaken. Unfortunately, the game sometimes has problems due to which World of Tanks won't start and gamers are sad. So that they are not upset, I made this post. The fact is that usually Tanks do not work due to one of a certain number of the most common reasons, which I will now talk about.
1. Tanks won't start
You click on the tab, but nothing happens - zero response.
To start diagnosing, you need to check whether the launcher is working - a special utility that launches all program modules. To do this, go to the folder with installed game(usually C:\Games\World of Tanks ) and run the executable file in it worldoftanks.exe. Here he is:
If the game starts after that, then the problem is in it. The launcher is called WoTLauncher.exe and is in the same folder:
It may not work due to being blocked by the computer's security system. This happens because proactive protection sees that some application is constantly surfing the Internet and downloading something. This behavior seems suspicious and the application is blocked. Try temporarily disabling your antivirus and test the game.
Note:
In some cases, the antivirus may skip the launcher, but delete the game file itself. Then a warning will be issued - "Starting the game is impossible. Worldoftanks.exe is missing"
In this case, you will need to go to the antivirus settings, restore the deleted file from the quarantine and add it to the exclusions.
Common causes of game launch errors:
If the Tanks do not even start directly, remember what you did before with the game or the computer.
- Very often, new mods are the cause of the failure. In the WoT folder there will be a res_mods directory. Its contents must be cleared and try to run the program again.
- Maybe you updated drivers or DirectX ?! In this case, you should try to roll back to old version or use a Windows restore point, which will allow you to return to a previous state of the operating system.
- Check that the drivers for the video card (Nvidia, Radeon) and DirectX are up to date. Update them if there are new versions.
- For normal operation of the game, the Visual C ++ 2015 library package must be installed on the computer and .NET Framework version 4.0. Without them, it may also not start or give various errors.
- Try to completely reinstall the game. Delete the existing copy, then download the installer from the official site and install the game on your PC again.
If you installed the game for the first time and World of Tanks does not start, check if your computer meets the system requirements:
At least 36 GB of free disk space. - at least 2 GB random access memory. - The minimum Internet speed is 256 Kbps. - video cards from GeForce 6800 / ATI HD 2400 XT with 256 MB of memory. - DirectX not older than 9.0c. - Dual-core processor supporting SSE2 technology.
Script errors when starting World of Tanks
This kind of malfunction occurs in the browser due to the fact that the game cannot run a script without which it cannot work.
Typically, the cause of a script error is a security feature of the operating system. Roughly speaking, the antivirus blocks the work of scripts and scripts, regarding them as unsafe. Therefore, try deactivating your anti-virus software for a while and check the operation of the game.
If World of Tanks still does not start with a script error, try updating your browser, you may be using a fairly old version that does not properly process interaction with game files.
Do not forget that as a result of software or even hardware failures, the scripts themselves can be damaged. Usually a complete reinstallation of the game helps.
Worlds of Tanks client update error
Avid "tankers" at least once, but faced with update errors in Tanks.
The reasons for the WoT update error are as follows:
- The server with the game updates is unavailable
- Problems with Internet access
- Bug with updates to certain mods or certain game configurations.
To eliminate the first two reasons, you will have to "kick" the technical support of your provider. But in order to remove the crash associated with mods, you will have to try to remove the mods of the game, as I said earlier, and see the result.
In some cases, again, only reinstalling the program saves.
Error D3DX9_43.DLL, XC000007B, 0x00000003, etc.
All errors when starting World of Tanks related to system files and libraries are the result of problems that arose in the operating system itself. Windows system. For example, a D3DX9_43.DLL error usually means a DirectX crash, while an XC000007B error is due to system file corruption or settings changes.
The same thing can happen if a virus has taken over the system.
I’ll give this advice here - check the OS with a good antivirus - DrWeb CureIT or Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool, then install the latest version of DirectX and update the drivers for the video card.
Game recovery
If the launcher loads without any problems, but the Tanki game itself does not start, then there is another option that is integrated by the developers. To use it, go to "Settings" and go to the "Support" tab.
There will be a "Check" button. By clicking on it, we will start the process of checking the integrity of the game files. If a problem is found, the file will be restored.
P.S.: If none of my advice helped you, then do not forget that the game has an excellent support service that can also help you. You just need to correctly describe the problem and prepare a few screenshots, where the World of Tanks launch error will be displayed. After that, go to the official website in the "Support" section and create a new application.
How to recover WoT client?! Another problem for players in World of Tanks is the partial inoperability of the client. Either the hangar freezes (the gear is constantly spinning), then when a certain tank is selected, the game or battle freezes. If this happened to your client, then in this article you will learn how to restore the WoT client without a complete reinstallation and exhausting waiting for the end of the download from the already overloaded wargaming servers.
There are only three main problems in such “freezes” of the client. It's like always - fashion, then go viruses, well, after playful hands the tankers themselves who are eager to change something in the client “for themselves”, whether it be a premium hangar or tank skins with permanent camouflage (which are visible only to the player himself and, in fact, do not carry any payload, except that they aesthetically change the look of the tank). And so, we will analyze everything in order. Go…
How to restore WoT client?
Well with mods, this is clear. and the end. For special aesthetes, wargaming developers offer automatic removal of all client modifications, such as double-clicking on a file and that's it, and quickly and conveniently. You can download the file for automatic removal of mods from the wargaming server at this link. All that is required of you is to unpack the file from the archive remove_mods.bat, put it in the root of the game and run. For those who are "in the tank", the root of the game is what is along the way your computer\your drive\game folder (e.g. Games)\World_of_Tanks\. Delov for 20 seconds, you will unpack longer Only for one thing and do not forget, so for sure ...
And you can check and make sure that it is the mods that are “buggy” by running the client in the so-called “Safe Mode”, which the developers so carefully put into the game launcher for you and me. For which special thanks to them!
The next problem is viruses! Ladies and gentlemen, tankers, well, don’t download mods from the left sites of some Vasya Pupkins! I myself have encountered the problem of virus modpacks more than once! Be vigilant and careful! Do not be too lazy to check each archive you download from the Internet with an antivirus! Personally, even in addition to my regular licensed antivirus, I check all archives on virustotal. The site is verified, use it to your health. And even if you don’t have time to “bark”, you collect “trojans” and “Chernobyls” with some “left” modpack, I’m not talking about all kinds of Yandex browsers and mail services that magically appear on the “desktop” of your PC .
Well, here your actions are also not complicated. Run your PC with a good antivirus. For one and Dr.Web CureIt download and check them after your antivirus. And God forbid you use Avast, otherwise you will constantly wonder 😉
Well, how are you there? Have you checked with a venereologist? Excellent! Now we have to restore wot using the game launcher. Download the archive from the wargaming server and unpack it. We see a file there WoT_Integrity.bat. We transfer it to the root of the game folder and run it.
Next, the game launcher will start in file recovery mode.
Wait until the check is complete! It is very important! Do not click "Play" when the message "You can only play on low-level vehicles" (or something similar) appears, do not be tempted ... And only after a full check of the game client, when the message "You are using the current version of the game" appears, you can click the treasured button.
Well, the last problem is codenamed "naughty hands" treated in the manner described above. Those. launching the game launcher in recovery mode.
Although not ... I certainly do not insist, you can reinstall the game. Fully! This will work too... though it's a long one. It's easier to restore wot through the launcher, and it's 10 times faster 😉
Try it, dear tankers and tankers! And everything will work out for you! And don't forget to unsubscribe based on the results 😉 Good luck on the battlefields!
If you have difficulty running World of Tanks on your PC, there are many reasons for this. Absolutely all programs (including games) are prone to errors, due to which they stop working normally. The following are successively specific recommendations, the implementation of which will solve the problem.
Maybe the problem is in the computer itself?
For this game application to run smoothly on a Windows 7 PC, you must ensure that the hardware meets the following basic requirements of the program:
- Processor with a clock speed of more than 2.2 GHz and support for SSE2;
- The required free space on the disk where the game is installed is at least 10 Gb;
- PC RAM capacity - more than 1.5 Gb;
- Video accelerator with DirectX support, while its modification cannot be lower than 9.0. The amount of minimum graphics adapter memory recommended by developers is 256 Mb.
It should be noted that for this network game, such a parameter as the speed of connection to the global network is also important, which should not be less than 256 Kbps.
But even with full compliance with all the above parameters, the game may not work, this is mainly due to the lack of a correctly installed software PC equipment.
Therefore, be sure to upgrade to the latest software versions for all hardware components of the computer. This is especially true for the graphics adapter. When installing drivers, it is advisable to use only the resources of the hardware manufacturers themselves.
Crashes during the launch of the toy
Often the cause of the error is an antivirus that blocks some files.
If the game functions normally when the security program is disabled, then you just need to enter the settings of the antivirus application and set the appropriate parameters, for example, add your favorite toy to the list of exceptions, etc.
The course of settings depends on the specific tread utility.
Sometimes on the computer in which the "Seven" is installed, the following error occurs:
If you see a similar message on the screen, then you should perform the following steps:
- Return the settings to the initial state;
- Update your PC hardware drivers.
Analysis of Windows 7 system components
To the question "Why doesn't the game start?" checking the integrity of the Seven files will quickly help answer.
To this end, you need to do just a few of the following steps:
Browser problem
Usually, a simple reinstallation of Internet Explorer can get rid of the problem.
To do this, you must perform the following steps:
- Launch the "Control Panel";
- Then click "Programs and Features";
- Then click "Turn Windows features on or off";
- Uncheck the box "Internet Explorer";
- After that, click "Ok";
- Restart PC;
- Install from the Microsoft Internet Explorer resource.
Out of space message: "Error unpacking update"
Even with 10 Gb of free space on the disk, an alert about such a problem can sometimes pop up.
At the same time, we can conclude that, most likely, this was affected by errors in the Windows 7 file system.
To analyze it, you need to follow only a few steps:
- Click "Win" and "R";
- Then enter "cmd";
- Click "Ok";
- After that, type "chkdsk D: / f / r" in the console.
Note: the above command will analyze the "D" drive, but if the PC owner has the game installed in the "C" system volume, then you will need to enter the letter "C" in the command.
Of course, you can reinstall the game and even Windows 7 itself, but before embarking on such drastic measures, it is better to first contact the specialists from WoT.
The developers of the game have already accumulated vast experience in solving problems with the launch of their application and in eliminating all kinds of crashes and lags in the gameplay itself.
To do this, they created a special support service on the official resource of "Tanks". Any user with their specific problems can turn to it for help.
