The World of Tanks game has long gained immense popularity, spreading literally all over the world. This game is available to almost everyone, however, like all applications, it has its own minimum requirements.
If your equipment does not match them, then you, like many others, will ask a simple question “the world of tanks game freezes, what should I do?”
It is impossible to give an unambiguous answer here, since everyone has individual problems. But, basically, all the problems are based on the fact that your PC just simply does not pull on some of the requirements.
The game uses an engine called Big World. Although it has an excellent server part, which, due to its structure, is able to withstand simply enormous loads, while excluding dishonest users from using cheat codes, the client part of the engine is a little limp. Especially in those issues that relate to optimization, use and distribution of resources on computers with a large number of cores, as well as in matters of graphics. And here the question is again posed: “it hangs world game of tanks what to do?
Of course, first of all, you need to identify the essence of your problem and figure out why you feel uncomfortable playing.
Basically, the game freezes and slows down due to a banal lack of system resources, the technique you use
If you have enough money in your wallet, then of course, ideally, purchase a new powerful PC, or at least replace parts such as a processor, RAM and video card on an old device. These details are responsible for all the main performance.
The processor is the so-called "head" of your technology.
The RAM is the place where the necessary temporary files and important data are stored.
The video card is what is responsible for the graphic component of games.
If at least one of the listed components does not hold out, then this will already be a reason for the poor performance of the game.
If there is no opportunity to purchase and upgrade a PC, then you can, of course, try to fix problems from the inside. For starters, it's worth checking the game settings and trying to lower them. Yes, the game will not look so aesthetically pleasing, but it will still work fine. You can also try clearing the cache. And also - to free up more space on the disk with the game, if there is not enough of it.
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 to buy random access memory 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 computer hardware is far from weak, and up to latest versions, and in the tray it doesn’t hang out anything superfluous (like a torrent), but 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!
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 the required amount is not available, 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 get into Personal Area- then it is 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.
Every gamer at least once heard about World of Tanks, and perhaps spent more than one hour in the game. This is a multiplayer in which you choose your own units of equipment, upgrade them and fight with other gamers who do the same. The main advantage of this project is the fact that the developers have made every effort to make the game as close to reality as possible. And they largely succeeded in this - almost all the characteristics of tanks, guns and other elements correspond to what they really were. Thus, this game is suitable for everyone who is fond of tanks or likes to spend time playing an exciting game in which you can act together with your friends or fight against them. However, it is worth noting that for some gamers this game may crash, which does not particularly please them. But do not get upset prematurely because of such problems - both the developers themselves and the creators of popular modifications for the game are looking for permanent and reliable solutions. And if World of Tanks crashes for you, you should either wait until the developers release something specific, or use some tips to help you play your favorite simulator.
Uninstall and install
The first thing you should try to do if World of Tanks crashes is to uninstall your client. Don't worry about the progress you've made, nothing will be lost or disappear. The fact is that all the necessary information is stored on the game servers. And when you delete the client, you only remove the means to play WoT from your computer, and all your tanks, your resources and experience remain. Therefore, feel free to delete the client, and then reinstall it again, only without various modifications and patches. This should help - in most cases, gamers can safely play on a clean client without seeing crashes. Naturally, you can gradually try to add mods that interest you, patch the game and see if the crashes come back. It's entirely possible that everything will be fine. Thus, you can find the very element that prevented you from playing. However, this does not always help, and if World of Tanks crashes even after reinstalling, then you need to try other methods.
Reinstall Java
In some cases, the problem with World of Tanks crashing is that you don't have the latest Java service pack installed correctly. The game uses Java, so if something is wrong with this block software, then you will need to completely remove all existing Java components, and then reinstall them by downloading from the official site. Naturally, this is not a universal way to deal with this problem, but it is worth trying all the methods that have been and will still be indicated in this article. You don't have to do all the steps - try the steps in order until one of them suits you. If your World of Tanks game crashes, then you should think about how to solve this problem as soon as possible, because this will allow you to quickly return to the game and continue pumping without wasting a minute.
Mod XVM
The most popular mod that WoT players install is XVM, which is also called the reindeer man. With this free and legal modification, you can get advanced statistics on the game, change the scope, display the names and indicators of opponents, and much more. At the same time, the main advantage of this mod is that you can completely customize it, that is, customize it to your taste, disabling services you don’t need and connecting the ones you need. But if you started to wonder "Why is World of Tanks crashing?", you definitely need to check if everything is in order with this modification. The fact is that the creators of the mod are constantly working on improving and improving their product, so you can download a more stable and reliable version at any time. If your World of Tanks client crashes, you need to check all the possibilities, and it is the XVM mod that should be one of the first to be checked. Naturally, if you use other mods, you will also need to try to remove or reinstall them, in order to finally make sure that the cause of the crashes is not in them.
Application.swf file
The package of the game, which contains all the mods for the game, contains the Application.swf file, which can cause crashes for certain, yet unknown reasons. Of course, if you remove it, then some of your modifications (especially those related to the garage) will stop working. However, many gamers report that their WoT stopped crashing immediately after deleting this file. So the sacrifice may well be justified.
Video card drivers
Drivers for the video card can also be a very important point - always check their relevance, because they directly affect how many computer games will be displayed for you. It is because of outdated drivers that crashes often appear in World of Tanks, so perhaps when you update them, everything will return to normal.
