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 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 of RAM. - 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 in launch 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 latest version DirectX and update your graphics card drivers.
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.
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.
In the window that opens, select the "Advanced" item, in the "Reset Internet Explorer settings" window, click "Reset" or "Delete personal settings". Then restart Internet Explorer. If this still doesn't work, update or install Adobe Flash and Java components. As a last resort, it is recommended to reinstall Internet Explorer.
I press play and does not enter World of Tanks
You press and nothing happens - World of Tanks does not start? To answer this question, we have collected the most common errors when logging into WOT and described solutions for each of the problems. With a long wait, the problem with logging into WOT is often hidden behind the inability to connect to the Wargaming servers serving the cluster you have chosen. That is, the user under which you logged into Windows to play World of Tanks cannot overwrite old files for some reason. The error I click on the play button and does not enter can be caused by the lack of a license for Windows, as well as outdated drivers for your video card. This will save you from most potential problems with entering World of Tanks and the launcher. In the "Mods" section, you can download additional modifications for WOT, such as Modpack Jova, XVM Olenemer, mod assembly from Amway921 and many others.
When launching WOTLauncher, the message “Critical error. Failed to install updates. The application cannot be continued. Detailed information is available in the log file"
The error occurs primarily when you have an antivirus program installed that manages some specific functions.
Often, patches are released to fix game bugs and add new features.
Windows system files have become corrupted. Or they were damaged and, as a result, the settings changed in the operating system. If the error is D3DX9_43.DLL, then you will need to install the latest version of the driver libraries.
Fortunately, you can download and install them completely free of charge from the official website of the manufacturer.
Perhaps at some point the installer will ask for some files and so on.
System requirements World of Tanks
In this case, either you will have to abandon the game, or increase the performance of your computer. Of course, we will not throw the game away, but we will work on the preliminary settings.
Although WoT does well on older PCs, there are minimum requirements without which the game will not run.
Perhaps you have different mods, you need to remove all mods from the "res_mods / client version" folder. If you have Linux, then you cannot do without the wine program version 2.0 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. World of Tanks in latest update tightened the requirements for the quality of the client's connection. I tried to open it through the launcher, but it didn't work. So I can't even download the new client!! Hello, I have such a problem, I open the launcher, it doesn’t update, it doesn’t go to the offsite, and it doesn’t go to those sites that are connected to the offsite either !! It happened just like that, no updates, nothing, I played calmly before. It costs the last Direct, all drivers, etc. Some mods and mod assemblies may not work or work with bugs.
It is also worth making sure that world game of Tanks meets all the minimum requirements for your computer. If you've done all of the above and WofT still won't launch, don't panic. To do this, go to the official website of the game and describe your problem in detail, attaching screenshots. If the review was useful to you, and the game bug was fixed, share the information with your friends.
Try adding the game folder to the trusted zone of your antivirus. Also try to create a new Windows account (new user) and run under this account. Usually, lags and disconnections occur when network packets are lost or delayed with information along the route from your computer to the game server. My husband is a fan of World Of Tanks, he also didn’t play for a long time, then the time appeared, I wanted to shake the old days.
The first reason that I want to note is the large number of installed mods. Mod is a visual addition to the game. For example, Skins. Sometimes cause Departure World of Tanks are maintenance work on the server. Very often, an unscheduled reboot is performed on the server in order to reduce the number of users at the same time. The server may not withstand a large influx of gamers at the same time. If you haven't updated World of Tanks in time, the game may crash. Version 314 is unstable (crashes in some interface elements), but on mobile chipsets it gives a performance boost of 50-100%! Please note: this update is installed automatically only through the game launcher.
To significantly increase the FPS of World of Tanks, many users use overclocking tools.
The gaming community is divided into two camps: some players are devoted to World of Tanks, while others have their eyes on War Thunder.
It's always like this, you want to play your favorite game World of Tanks and the client starts to crash, especially after the long-awaited updates. Usually, either when entering the game, right after entering the login and password, or when loading the battle, then when entering the hangar, then right in the battle (the most infuriating thing, isn't it 😉) in no case can you put up with this! Take care of your nerves 😉 How to deal with crashes, read on...
First, let's figure it out, does WoT crash when you double-click on the game launcher?
That is, after launching the launcher, nothing happens or a white window pops up, and then, according to the developers, the game client should start, but nothing happens.
If you have just such a problem, then, since this article will focus on client crashes after the launcher, in other words, starting from the authorization window (login and password).
Here we go…
WoT crashes on client startup
So let's launch the launcher:
entered the login and password, pressed the button " TO COME IN"And here it is -" crash "... You are again on the desktop, full of anger and disappointment ... but this is not the time to sigh and be sad we are fighting -> here it will help us clearing the cache, if this is your case of a client crash, then let's go clear the cache, read more about clearing in the article
Well, if this is not your case, read the article below ...
And in order not to waste your time in vain, we will start by removing mods. Thus, we will establish the cause of the crashes, and there are only two reasons, either the mods are to blame, or something is wrong with your computer (drivers, hardware). Deleted??? We launch and look ... the flights are gone? FASHIONS are evil, they are to blame, how to fight, we read. If the departures remain, then we read the article further or after 3 paragraphs.
Well, what can you do ... first, try reinstalling or games, maybe the files are damaged, but your playful hands could do it 😉 well, or some kind of virus (for example, after installing a mod pack from the left resources), especially if you magically have any kind of Yandex browser , mail services, etc. Personally, I would immediately go to download Dr.Web CureIt!® and after that, I would put my faithful piece of hardware to be checked by the installed antivirus. Of course, it's up to you to decide, you can get off with a simple reinstallation of the client.
This should help, but if this is not your case, you are welcome to read the article further ...
