Every month the game project "World of Tanks" is becoming more and more popular. Now it is difficult to find a young person who has not heard anything at all about this multiplayer online client game. Thanks to this computer game, users have the opportunity to independently control equipment from the Second World War. Despite the scale of the project, players encounter certain problems within its framework. For example, newbies often wonder why the game won’t start. In addition, sometimes right during a battle it simply “throws it out” onto the desktop, and you have to turn on the World of Tanks client again, hoping that the enemy will not detect the abandoned vehicle.
Why does the World of Tanks game not start, and how to solve this problem?
There are now several known problems related to the fact that you cannot log into your account in the World of Tanks game. No matter how modern and perfect this project is, it still has glitches. So one of the most common reasons why the game does not start is trivial repair work on the server. There's nothing you can do about it. We'll have to wait a little. It is worth noting that the administration very quickly posts all relevant information on the official World of Tanks website, so if you cannot enter your hangar, then you need to look through the list of news.
Another reason why the World of Tanks game does not start is the client update that was released. Major modifications to this project are released every few months. As for smaller changes, they appear every couple of weeks. So a likely reason why the game won’t launch could be another client upgrade.
If the "World of Tanks" shortcut does not respond to double-clicking the left mouse button on it, then most likely it is infected with a virus. In this case, it is recommended to scan the entire computer for malware. After the affected files have been disinfected, you can try logging into the game again. If the shortcut had to be removed, then it is better to uninstall World of Tanks and download another client on the official project server. No less often, the reason why the game does not start is account theft. If your email was not stolen along with it (virtual thieves often try to deprive the user of access to his email so that he does not change the password in the game), then you should quickly change the password using your “mailbox”. If the attackers committed a double theft, then you must immediately leave a request to the World of Tanks administration. In this case, you will have to provide the account parameters so that the administration can verify that it is its owner who is writing. After this, it will be blocked for a while, and new authorization attributes will be sent to the owner. Such thefts are not at all uncommon in World of Tanks. How to play without worrying about the security of your account? You need to install a high-quality anti-virus program, link your account to your phone number, and also not disclose authorization attributes. The administration constantly publishes educational articles to tell you how to play World of Tank as safely as possible. If you follow these tips, no attacker will be able to steal your account.
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.
- 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
- Launch the launcher again, specifying port 6881 and using a torrent connection.
- 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).
Launcher freezes, gear spins
If you see a picture like this, try the following:
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.
- Right-click on the WoT shortcut and select “Properties”.
- Go to the “Compatibility” tab.
- 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.
- 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 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.
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.
Every gaming app releases an update from time to time. This action also happens with the WoT multiplayer gaming application. But what should you do if World of Tanks suddenly doesn’t start after an update?
Don't panic and delete your favorite game
The first thing you should try is to run the “exe” file located in the game’s installation folder. If no changes have occurred, then you should use the newly downloaded archive with updates and reinstall. Installation should be performed by running the archive and selecting “Install with replacement”.
Another common mistake gamers make is having the Internet turned off - after all, following the installation rule (download - turn off the Internet - install - restart the computer - connect the Internet - launch the game application) not everyone follows it to the end. Incorrectly installed or damaged DirectX can also be a problem.
You can fix the error by reinstalling it or installing a newer version of it.
The problem may also lie in installed old mods or cheating mod packs. If you don’t want to abandon these latest mods, then you should demolish them and re-upload them. If the computer runs on two video cards, the updated version of the game may not be able to decide which one to run better on. In this case, it is worth trying to launch the game with the video cards turned off one by one.
When each update is released, you should go to the game’s website and read the recommendations of the latest update and discuss why World of Tanks does not start after the update. In it you can find a very common remark that few people pay attention to when installing updates.
The update is released for specific software versions. If there are inconsistencies between the update file and the software (the operating version is not suitable or the computer has low technical specifications), then no reinstallation or restart can help launch the game.
You should not resort to downloading updates for the game from sites that are not representatives of this application.
Since archives may contain viruses, which can subsequently harm computer equipment and the application itself. All of the above may be an obstacle to launching the updated application. Therefore, the most important thing is to use official updates and carefully read the installation requirements.
First of all, try running the game in safe mode, which will allow you to disconnect from all modifications and check if all game files are updated and functional. This is easy to do, you just need to click on the arrow when launching the game launcher, as shown in the image below.
If it doesn’t help, then try the second option - “ Launching the game with graphic settings reset«
Sometimes there are problems related to the game servers. Depending on the reason, you will need to take certain actions.
The reason for this message may not only be a problem with the user's system.
Often during promotions, game developers may experience problems with the servers.
If a player played on a server that went down, he will automatically be transferred to another server. But with a large flow of players, the receiving server may be overloaded, and accordingly the message “session on another server has not ended” appears. It is impossible to resolve this problem on your own, since it concerns the World of Tanks CPU. You just have to wait for recovery from failures.
If the problem is not due to server failures, then you need to take several steps to fix it:
1. Force termination
You can terminate an unfinished session yourself by forcefully closing it. To do this, you need to go to the official website of the game and log into your personal account. Next, you need to click on “sessions” in the “access management” section. 
The “sessions” section will display a list of active and completed sessions. To close the last session, you need to click on the “end” link.
2.
By pressing the Win + R keys, a search line will appear in which you need to enter %appdata%. A list of folders will appear in which you need to find the Wargaming.net folder, delete all contents from it and restart the computer. The next time you start the game client, you will need to re-enter your login and password.
3. Antivirus
No matter what antivirus you have installed, it may consider some game files to be a threat. To avoid conflicts, you need to make the game an exception. This action can also slightly increase the frame rate in the game, since the antivirus will not constantly monitor it.
If the above solutions do not help, you should contact support, providing all the necessary information and attaching screenshots.
