World of Tanks won't start? Read on!
Problem #1: Not enough free hard drive space
Sometimes the user simply forgets to check if World of Tanks is enough for his client. Or he loads the disk according to the most “I can’t”, updates the game client, and is surprised - an error constantly occurs when starting World of Tanks. The solution is simple - always make sure that there are 16 GB free on the disk if you want to install or update the game. At the same time, if you install the game on more than one disk with your software, then make sure that there is enough space for Windows too.
Problem number 2: lack of admin rights.
If this is the problem, then right-clicking on the game icon and selecting the item in Windows 7 “run as administrator”, and in Windows XP “run as”, and then select “administrator” will save you.
Issue unknown
If you do not know what is the reason that a critical error occurs in World of Tanks, then use the following tips.
First option.
Download from the official website of the game (or from a torrent) a file called WoT_0.8.6_ru_install.rar (its size is 5GB).
After that, you will find the WoT_internet_install_ru.exe file and the WoT_internet_install_ru folder.
The WoT_internet_install_ru folder will contain
- 141_launcher,
- 2718_client,
- 2719_86.2718_client,
- 277204_content_ru.
You need the second, third and fourth files.
Create a World of Tanks folder wherever you want and click on the third of the above files.
It should work and the World of Tanks error won't bother you.
If this doesn't work, try the following.
Have a nice game in World of Tanks, and fewer mistakes! Option two.
Open the registry editor menu with the key combination CTRL+R regedit enter.
- 0.21022.8
- 0.30304.0
- 0.30729.1
- 0.30729.4148
Change the key named Default to 9.0.30729.4148. Save and exit the editor.
After starting the game, the error should disappear.
The cause of the problem may lie in the installation of the game client or in its installer. So you need to check their integrity.
That is, the World of Tanks error, the inability to install, etc. may occur if you have not completely downloaded the installation file. Then it makes sense to visit the World of Tanks website or dig around the Web to find the current version of the game and download it for yourself.
Client checksums are verified using Total Commander or the MD5summer application. At the same time, that one thing that the other is equally good for the full version and the updated one. When you download the checksum file, locate it in the installer or patch folder.
If you are using Total Commander then do the following:
- Open the folder with the file that contains the checksum information, click on it to run it.
- You will see that a window has appeared that displays the progress of the check. Wait for the process to complete. Then there are two options: it may not give an error (which means that the client is unharmed and loaded whole), or errors will be found. To fix them, you will have to download the client installer again.
If you decide to use MD5summer:
- Select the md5summer.exe file and move it to the folder containing the downloaded checksum file and the game installer.
- Next, you will see a window with the application interface menu. Choose among all the items the one called Verify sums
- Next, you have to select md5 and click on it.
- A window will appear showing the results of the verification process.
- The application has indicators: green if there are no errors, red if there are. Then follow the steps as when using Total Commander
The official representative of Wargaming is also aware of the possibility of failures in the client, so in case the launcher does not work, the error does not allow you to play World of Tanks normally, you can take the advice of the developers.
You can download an update for the graphics driver on your PC. The latest version for the graphics card can be found on the official nVidia, Radeon or Intel websites. Be sure to get the latest update for your driver. Then a lot of nerves and strength will be saved.
If this does not fix the problem, then perhaps the solution lies in the need to install the latest version of DirectX, which is suitable for the OS you are using. You can download it as a file that will automatically install the application on your PC, or as an archive file.
For the normal functioning of World of tanks, you will need the following libraries installed: Visual C ++ 2008 (located on the Microsoft service, available for both 64-bit and 32-bit versions of the OS), Visual C ++ 2010, NET Framework, which requires that you several versions were present at once: version 3.0, version 3.5, version 4.0. In addition to the fact that a World of tanks critical error may occur, there may also be interruptions in the functioning of the sound. To do this, update your audio driver.
Problems launching the Wargaming client
Unable to update client
If at startup you get messages about the impossibility to update the client, the impossibility to continue working in it, etc., then do so.
Exit the game and look for wargaming.net, which is usually located on the C drive in the Users folder.
If you do not want to change the folder visibility settings, then use the already known TotalCommander.
After that, turn off your anti-virus program for a while.
Select the launcher, where in the settings menu, write the 6881st port for login connections.
Now you can activate your antivirus and check your PC. You can also create a new account in Windows and run the system on behalf of it.
Unable to download update file via http
The following World of tanks error may occur due to the inability to download the update file via http. To solve this version of the problem, follow the same steps as in the previous version, starting with the point about using 6881 points for login connections.
If the errors still keep popping up, your only option is to contact Wargaming support.
Enjoy playing World of Tanks, and fewer startup errors!
World of Tanks (WoT) is a multiplayer online game in the Game genre developed by Wargaming. The gameplay of the game consists in tank battles between two teams. To win one of the teams, you need to destroy all enemy equipment or fulfill the conditions of the mode.
The game uses its own client developed by Wargaming to download and update the game. Sometimes some users face a problem when WoT is not updated. It is this problem that can confuse many players, because without updates the game will not start, and it will be impossible to continue playing further. This article will describe the initial measures that will help fix the problem if game updates are not installing.
WoT is not updated: what to do in such a situation?
First of all, you need to try to find out the reason, usually the client gives an error message. By going to the official website, you can find the number of your error, and then look for an alternative method to solve it.
Sometimes there may not be an error, but the game is still not updated, then you need to check your antivirus alerts, if the antivirus has blocked files with updates, you need to disable it or add these files to the exclusion list. It's best to add files to the exclusion list and the antivirus won't bother you anymore. Turning off the antivirus during the update, you should understand that visiting unwanted sites and downloading something can be dangerous for your computer, wait until the game is updated, and then, after turning the protection back on, continue working.
Corrupt client
It can also be caused by corrupted client files. To fix this problem, you need to go into the client directory and remove it completely. After that, you need to go to the official website of World of Tanks and download the new client, install and run the updates. When deleting the client, you don't have to worry about your progress and achievements in the game, all files with your progress are stored on Wargaming servers.
Server connection problems
Often a situation may arise when WoT is not updated. You may be disconnected from the server. This error may indicate a connection problem with the server. The reason is most often a poor internet connection, so check the speed first.
If your Internet connection is normal, but the client still gives an error, then you need to go to the official WoT website and check the news, usually if the servers are unavailable, the developers publish information there, and the time will be indicated when they become available again.
Help on the forum
The game World of Tanks has an official forum where experienced players usually share their experience, where they sometimes ask other users for help if WoT is not updated. Also on the forum you can download a ready-made game client with the latest updates installed using torrent networks. But when downloading something on the forum, you need to understand that the files are unofficial and they may contain viruses, so be sure to check the files for viruses, and then install them on your computer.
When trying to update, a critical error is generated with the following content:
Game client update
- Critical error.
- Failed to install updates.
- The application cannot be continued.
- Detailed information is available in the log file.
The update has been suspended. When you click the "Play" button, World of Tanks does not start. What to do in this situation? Solving the problem with the game client update error.
Error when updating World of Tanks
First, as recommended in the error, we review the update log manually to find out what the problem might be. To do this, go to the game folder at: C:\Games\World_of_Tanks\WoTLauncher.log and find quite a lot of useful information there, including an error in updating the hangar file:
11/21/2017 02:02:12 PM ERROR: apply bin-diffs. what: IO error. msg: name="C:\Games\ World_of_Tanks\ UpdatesData\client \wot_9C.7208_9C.7167_client.patch\ res\packages\ hangar_v2.pkg.9C.7208.210BCA14.xdiff"
Solving the update problem
Due to the fact that no client game session was initiated, the update is buggy and gives an error. Therefore, if you are updating World of Tanks to a new version, we recommend that you enter the game at least once before that so that the necessary files are created in the directory on the local disk.
- Option 1 Do not update the client, but install it again in a new folder. In order to avoid critical errors, it is always desirable to install the client in a new folder. This way you will avoid problems with your firewalls and firewalls blocking the game and files in the registry of the operating system, which may give incorrect commands to the newly installed client.
- Option 2 Install the update not through WoTLauncher, but manually by downloading it first from the official World of Tanks website (do not forget to take into account the recommendations from Option 1).
- Option 3 (the most difficult) Using special software, you can check the integrity of the hash of the installed update and, if it does not match the original, download the update directly from the site (option 2).
Many players have encountered such a common problem in the game launcher as the World of Tanks update could not be unpacked. There can be many reasons, as a rule, deleting the client completely, and downloading it on a new one does not solve the problem.
We offer you several options for solving this problem.
1. Downloading updates may be interrupted because your local account does not have administrator rights, for this you need to log in with an administrator account and try to download or update the client again.
2. Check that your video card drivers are up to date. Go to the official website of the graphics card manufacturer (AMD, Intel, NVidia) and try downloading the latest drivers.
3. On some laptops with the ability to work with multiple video cards, this error may also occur, because the launcher determines only the integrated card by default, for this, you need to specify only a discrete video card in the video adapter settings and try again.
4. Check your hard disk for errors and bad sectors, if there are any on your disk, then this one may be one of the causes of the error. In this case, you need to replace the hard drive and download the client again.
5. Your computer may be infected with viruses that prevent writing to the hard drive. To do this, use one of the anti-virus systems (for example, Kaspersky, DR.Web, NOD32) to check. It is advisable to use the "Full scan" function of the hard disk partition on which the game is installed.
If no viruses are found, you can add the folder with the game to the antivirus exclusions
6. At the root of the folder with the game, there is a subdirectory with Updates updates, try deleting it completely and launch the launcher.
7. If the message “Updating the bootloader.
Checking for updates" you can try clearing the dynamic cache (DNS). You can do this by typing the command at the Windows command prompt.
Please note that the number of sent/received packets should be the same, if it is not, then the update server may not be responding. You need to wait a while and try again.
8. During the update, the gear on the main screen is constantly spinning, this is due to an error with the vbs script, or incorrect installation of the Visual C ++ components that the game requires. Download the new version of the libraries and try again. We hope our instructions will help you, we couldn't unpack the World of Tanks update to get rid of the problem.
At the time of release, almost all current games are teeming with bugs. Therefore, the fact that World of Tanks does not start is not surprising. Despite many years of work by developers to optimize the game, errors in the "tanks" occur. WoT won't launch for many reasons, from an incorrectly installed client to mod scams.
Problems with launcher
Unsuccessful update
Sometimes it happens that during the update of the game, you can see such a message
If this happens, you need to take the following actions:
endless gear
If you see a black screen in place of the launcher with a detached gear in the middle, and below it says “update is suspended”, then you need to do the following:
- Download the archive from the official site: https://dl-support.gcdn.co/wot/en/diag/vbs_js_fix.zip
- Unzip it and run the .bat file.
- Reboot the system and re-enable the launcher.
Unable to display web page
When you see the message "failed to display the web page", then you need to try resetting IE (Internet explorer):
Can't click on "play"
This post-apocalyptic picture looks like this:
There are three options for solving the problem:
- Reinstalling IE.
- Adobe Flash Player Update
- Java update.
All of the above can be downloaded from the official websites of Mircosoft, Adobe and Java. Just follow the instructions.
Errors during game launch
The first thing you need to pay attention to is the system requirements. Although WoT is quite loyal to old computers, hardware must still meet the following parameters:
Confirmed that your PC is suitable? Then we move on to the next item - updating the video card drivers. To do this, you need to go to the manufacturer's website (AMD, NVIDIA, Intel), find your GPU there and download the latest drivers.
If you experience sound problems, update your sound card drivers.
The required version of DirectX may not be installed. It can be downloaded from the Microsoft website. Need DirectX 9.0c, no lower.
World of Tanks also won't start without the Microsoft Visual C++ and Net Framework libraries. Both are also available on the Microsoft resource.
Bugs can cause mods
There are a large number (hundreds of units) of mods for WoT. From the famous "Olenemer" to various packs of modified textures. All of them can cause incorrect work of both the launcher and the client. Especially this often happens when a new version of the game comes out, and the mods remain from the old one. To avoid this, you need to follow these rules:
- Always uninstall mods before updating the game
- Mods must match your version of World of Tanks
- Do not download unverified utilities from suspicious sites
If the game does not start and the above methods do not help, then it probably could not have done without mods. The most reliable (albeit long) way to solve the problem is to completely uninstall and install the client from scratch, which will help you with our guide on how.
