Why does Word of Tank work? World of Tanks won't start: overview of problems and their solutions

The first difficulties may begin at the stage of the game launcher. If the launcher crashes after launching, you will need to configure it correctly.

1. Remove 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
2. Launch the launcher again, specifying port 6881 and using a torrent connection.
3. We add the game to the firewall and antivirus exceptions (if you are using a standard firewall, this is done directly in the launcher settings).

The game crashes after clicking "Play"

Launcher launched normally, but when you press the “Play” button it doesn’t start or the game client itself crashes? The following options are possible.

System requirements do not meet

Although WoT performs well on older PCs, there are minimum requirements without which the game will not run. Only upgrading your computer will help.

Wrong graphics settings

Crashes are possible if you used graphics settings higher than the computer can handle. Difficulties can begin both during the battle and when the game itself starts.
To resolve this, select 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 provide games with comfortable conditions for launching. Try running Tanki with administrator rights and in compatibility mode.

1. Right-click on the WoT shortcut and select “Properties”.
2. Go to the “Compatibility” tab.
3. We set the level of rights and check various compatibility modes.

Drivers for video card are not suitable

To run the game correctly and ensure good performance, be sure to install drivers on your video card.

1. Visit the NVIDIA or AMD/ATI website to find a driver for your device.
2. Select your video card model from the list on the website.
3. Download the full installer (we do not recommend using the update).
4. Install the drivers.

Windows system components are missing

For correct operation of Tanks, quite a lot of auxiliary programs are required. If they are not on your computer, you will not be able to launch World of Tanks. Let's briefly go through the components necessary for launch. link).

Individual case

If all the above recommendations do 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 preparing your application.

• PC configuration;
• under what circumstances does the game crash?
• what have you already tried to solve;

We hope that these methods will allow you to resolve the issue of client crashes and help you enjoy playing Tanks to the fullest. If none of this helps, try deleting it and again, or write in the comments, we will try to help you.

It is advisable to remove or uninstall them. As a rule, when installing modifications, the user is asked to read instructions for installing, using, changing and deleting mods, and is also asked to select the folder in which they will be installed. According to these instructions, uninstall the mod. If you don't remember the instructions, just find the folder with mods (it has the word mod in its name) and delete it. It doesn't hurt to check your Internet connection.

If Launcher doesn't work

To do this, launch Internet Explorer. In the address bar, type the address of iexplorer.exe without quotes. Click Run or press Enter. Then select “File” from the menu and uncheck the “Work offline” checkbox. If File is not listed in the menu, press the Alt button.

If these steps do not lead to a positive result, in Internet Explorer open “Tools”, then “Internet Options”. In the window that opens, select “Advanced”, in the “Reset Internet Explorer settings” window, click “Reset” or “Remove personal settings”. Then restart Internet Explorer.

If this does not give you the desired result, update or install Adobe Flash and Java components. As a last resort, it is recommended to reinstall Internet Explorer.

There is probably not a young person in Russia who has not heard about World of Tanks, a real-time online game in the genre of an arcade tank simulator based on the Second World War. The exciting gameplay, combining shooter, strategy and role-playing 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 her does not wane. Unfortunately, sometimes problems occur with the game, due to which World of Tanks won't start and gamers are sad. So, so that they would not be 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 do not start

You click on the shortcut, but nothing happens - zero reaction.
To begin diagnostics, you need to check whether the launcher is working - a special utility that launches all software modules. To do this, go to the folder with the 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 that is the problem. The bootloader-launcher is called WoTLauncher.exe and lies in the same folder:

It may not work because it is blocked by the computer's security system. This happens because proactive defense sees that some application is constantly accessing the Internet and downloading something. This behavior seems suspicious and the application is blocked. Try temporarily disabling your antivirus and checking the game.

Note:

In some cases, the antivirus may skip the launcher, but delete the game file itself. Then a warning will be issued - “The game cannot be started. The file worldoftanks.exe is missing"

In this case, you will need to go to the antivirus settings, restore the deleted file from quarantine and add it to the exceptions.

Common causes of game launch errors:

If Tanks don’t even launch directly, remember what you did before with the game or computer.

— Very often the cause of the crash is new mods. There will be a res_mods directory in the WoT folder. You need to clear its contents and try to run the program again.

— Maybe you updated your drivers or DirectX?! In this case, you should try to roll back to an older version or use a Windows restore point, which will allow you to return to the previous state of the operating system.

— Check that the drivers for your video card (Nvidia, Radeon) and DirectX are up to date. Update them if there are new versions.

— For the game to work properly, the Visual C++ 2015 library package must be installed on your computer and .NET Framework version 4.0. Without them, it may also not start or produce various errors.

— Try completely reinstalling the game. Delete the existing copy, then download the installer from the official website 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 whether your computer meets the system requirements:

At least 36 GB of free disk space. - at least 2 GB of RAM. - minimum Internet speed 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 is unable to run a script, without which it cannot work.
Typically, the cause of a script error is the operating system's security. Roughly speaking, the antivirus blocks the operation of scripts and scripts, regarding them as unsafe. Therefore, try deactivating your antivirus software for a while and check the game's operation.

If World of Tanks still does not start with a script error, try updating your browser; perhaps you are using a fairly old version that does not handle interaction with game files correctly.

Do not forget that as a result of software or even hardware failures, the scripts themselves can be damaged. A complete reinstallation of the game usually helps.

Worlds of Tanks client update error

Avid tankers have encountered update errors in Tanks at least once.

The reasons for the WoT update error are as follows:
— The server with game updates is unavailable
— Problems with Internet access
— Error with updates to certain mods or a certain game configuration.
To eliminate the first two reasons, you will have to “kick” the technical support of your provider. But in order to remove the glitch associated with mods, you will have to try to remove the game mods, as I said earlier, and see the result.
In some cases, again, only reinstalling the program can save you.

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 have arisen in the Windows operating system itself. For example, the D3DX9_43.DLL error usually means DirectX has failed, while the XC000007B error is associated with corruption of system files or changes in settings.

The same can happen if a virus is in control of the system.
My advice here is this: 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 problems, but the Tanks 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 here. By clicking on it, we will start the process of checking the integrity of the game files. If a problem is detected, 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 several screenshots that will display the World of Tanks launch error. After that, go to the official website in the “Support” section and create a new request.

Some of you may be facing an error where the app is showing a message that the network is unavailable while the download or update continues.

This message is incorrect and does not in any way affect the success of downloads or updates. We are aware of the problem and are working to resolve it.
