Every player has experienced World of Tanks crashing during battle. This is one of those situations that you wouldn’t wish on even your opponent. There may be just a few reasons, or there may be a whole set of reasons.

In any case, it's worth taking proactive steps to troubleshoot and fix issues that are causing your game to crash as soon as possible

Systematic ignoring of these factors can serve as a wake-up call and mean that the computer will stop working and will no longer be destined to win.

All reasons can be divided into just a few categories:

Problems that can be resolved by the player himself.
problems caused by factors beyond the player's control.

The most important among the first is the factor of unstable Internet connection. Possible “symptoms” - the game starts, continues until a certain point, then the picture suddenly stops or goes into a loop.

And therefore the fastest methods for checking:
1) Disable any antivirus programs. Or switching them to game mode very often helps solve the problem.
2) Opened the launcher 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 and reinstallation will begin. Problem solved.
3) Update all drivers (primarily for the video card) Wargaming also always recommends disabling the mandatory NVIDIA PhysX (installed by default) for NVIDIA video cards.

There is no need to panic, it is better to immediately begin to solve this problem

Make sure that your personal account in the provider’s personal account has sufficient funds to pay for the period of Internet use. If at the moment you don’t have the required amount, but you need to finish the match, you can use a temporary trust top-up; many providers now provide this service. If you can’t even log into your personal account, then it’s obvious that the problem is in the cable.

The above methods should help solve the problem, it definitely helped us, if you find out any other method, write in the comments.

The second group of factors should include situations where all equipment is working properly, but World of Tanks still crashes during the battle. The reason may be maintenance work on the server. As a rule, the administration notifies each player and, as an apology, gives small compensatory gifts. All that remains is to wait until the server starts working again.

The game World of Tanks has long gained enormous popularity, spreading literally throughout the world. This game is available to almost everyone, but, like all applications, it has its own minimum requirements.

If your equipment does not comply with 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 a definite answer here, since everyone has individual problems. But, basically, all the problems are based on the fact that your PC simply does not meet some of the requirements.


The game uses an engine called Big World. Although it has an excellent server part, which, thanks to its structure, can withstand enormous loads, while excluding dishonest users from using cheat codes, the client part of the engine is a little lame. Especially in those issues that relate to the 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 asked again: “the world of tanks game freezes, what should I 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 or the equipment you use

If you have enough money in your wallet, then, of course, the ideal is to purchase a new powerful PC, or at least replace parts such as a processor, RAM and video card on an old device. These parts are responsible for all the main performance.

The processor is the so-called “head” of your equipment.
RAM is the place where the necessary temporary files and important data are stored.
The video card is what is responsible for the graphics component of games.

If at least one of the listed components falls short, then this will already be a reason for the poor performance of the game.

If it is not possible to purchase and upgrade a PC, then you can, of course, try to fix the problems from the inside. First, you should check your game settings and try lowering 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 - free up more space on the game disk if there is little of it.

Although the BigWorld engine used in the game provides an excellent server part, the structure of which is capable of supporting colossal loads and excludes the possibility of using classic cheats, the client part is a little lame, in particular in matters of optimization, distribution of resource use on multi-core computers, as well as graphics. But what to do if World of Tanks slows down?

First you need to understand whether your patient (computer) is alive or rather dead, look at the settings and look at the characteristics. These are the minimum system requirements recommended by the game developers themselves:

  • Operating system: Windows XP /Vista /7 /8
  • Processor (CPU): 2.2 GHz
  • Random access memory (RAM): 1.5 GB for Windows XP, 2 GB for Windows Vista/7
  • Video adapter: GeForce 6800/ ATI X800 with 256 MB memory, DirectX 9.0c
  • Audio card: DirectX 9.0c compatible
  • Free hard disk space: 9 GB
  • Internet connection speed: 256 Kbps

This does not mean that if your computer does not reach the minimum, the game will not run. It’s just that the greater the gap between your system parameters and these characteristics (for the worse), the more difficult it will be for you to play due to various brakes.

Let's understand the cause of the problem

Let's figure out why it may be uncomfortable to play World of Tanks. The game slows down primarily due to a lack of system resources. If your funds allow it, then of course the best option would be to buy a new PC or at least replace the processor or add RAM (if the system allows it).

What should you pay attention to? Let's look at a few responsible pieces of hardware:

  • The processor is the head of your computer
  • video card - responsible for graphics
  • RAM - stores temporary data in its buffer

If even one of these elements is a weak link, then you can catch the brakes. Of course, within the framework of this article we will not delve into such equally important details as the motherboard bus or the core frequency of the video card.

Freeing up memory

We have already briefly discussed why World of Tanks slows down, now let’s get down to action.

If there is not enough video memory

This is all due to your weak video card. This shortage can be cured by lowering the graphics quality in the game settings. You can also use the program to disable additional effects that cannot be disabled so easily in the game.

If there is not enough RAM

We need to build on what we have. If you have 2GB or less installed, then my advice to you is to buy more. RAM is not expensive now, I bought 2 sticks for 8 gigs at 1,000 rubles each, although I could have found it cheaper.

But, if this is not possible, well, we free up the operative space. First of all, even before launching the game and asking reasonable questions “what to do if World of Tanks lags,” you need to look at what programs you have running. Close everything! Browser, player, all sorts of Skype with ICQ and Quips, torrents and other programs. We're closing everything!

If this does not help, you can resort to the help of special software that frees the RAM from unused data. One of these programs is Wise Memory Optimizer, instructions for which you can watch in this video:

Those who are experiencing problems are wondering when playing World of Tanks without comfort - why does the game freeze? If all of the above tips did not help, then you can get a little hardcore and delve into the issue of optimizing the client and your computer as a whole.

It's always like this when you want to play your favorite game World of Tanks and the client starts to crash, especially after long-awaited updates. Usually, when entering the game, immediately after entering your username and password, then when loading a battle, then when entering the hangar, then right in battle (the most infuriating thing, isn’t it 😉) you should never put up with this! Take care of your nerves 😉 How to cope 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’ idea, the game client should start, but nothing happens.
If you have just such a problem, then, since in this article we will talk about client crashes after the launcher, in other words, starting from the authorization window (login and password).
Here we go…

WoT crashes when starting the client

So, we launched the launcher:

entered your username and password, pressed the “ TO COME IN"and here it is - crash... You are back at your desk, full of anger and disappointment... but this is not the time to sigh and be sad we are struggling -> here it will help us clearing cache, if this is exactly your case of a client crash, then go clear the cache, read more about clearing in the article
Well, if this is not your case, read the article further...

And in order not to waste your time, we will start with removing mods. Thus, we will establish the cause of the crashes, and here there are only two reasons, either the mods are to blame, or something is wrong with your computer (drivers, hardware). Deleted??? Let's launch and see... the crashes are gone? MODS are evil, they are to blame, how to fight, read. If the crashes remain, then read the article further or after 3 paragraphs.

Well, what can you do... first, try reinstalling the games, maybe the files are damaged, and your playful hands could have done this 😉 or some kind of virus (for example, after installing a mod pack from the left resources) especially if you magically got all kinds of Yandex browser , mail services, etc. Personally, I would immediately go download Dr.Web CureIt!® and then put my trusty hardware to be scanned by the installed antivirus. Of course it's up to you, you can get away with simply reinstalling the client.
This should help, but if this is not your case, you are welcome to read the article further...

If there are sound problems, install the latest drivers for your audio card from the manufacturer's website:

Install the latest version of DirectX for your operating system from the official Microsoft website:

If you do not have the following libraries installed Visual C++, then be sure to install them from the official Microsoft website.

WOT does not always work stably. Today we will look at the problem why World of Tanks crashes on startup. We will give recommendations on what to do so that you don’t get kicked out of World of Tanks.

Why does World of Tanks crash?

If you start the game, but instead of entering it kicks you out. This is the most common problem in World of Tanks for those who use mods or have used them before. When installing modifications for World of Tanks, problems arise with logging in. This happens because the files used to launch the game by default are overridden by mod files. Mods have priority at launch. This is exactly what becomes the problem of leaving World of Tanks. When processing mod files, the game client often cannot match the standard functions from the files with the functions specified by the mod developers. Because of this, conflicts with files arise and, instead of starting the game in an incomprehensible way, World of Tanks kicks you out of the game. You can solve the problem of the game crashing by not using mods. Just rename the mods folder res_mods to run World of Tanks without mods.

World of Tanks freezing problem

So why does World of Tanks freeze? The fact is that the hash of the game files may differ from the original one and the server will simply refuse to serve such a client. In this case, you will need to check the hash of the files and update them using the World of Tanks launcher or Wargaming Game Center. However, this does not always help solve the problem with World of Tanks freezing and often players have to reinstall the game. In most cases, completely uninstalling World of Tanks and reinstalling the game helps solve the freezing problem.

Why World of Tanks keeps crashing

But the problem with crashing from the game is not always associated with World of Tanks files. A very common problem is with video card drivers. Incompatibility of the driver file versions for the video adapter with the current version of World of Tanks causes a conflict in image processing and output. Here, it is not only World of Tanks itself that will prevent the game from continuing to launch. But Windows will also stop loading the unstable process, which will lead to constant World of Tanks crashes. The peculiarity of this problem is that the problem can manifest itself both during the launch of the game, and directly during the game, after some time. To solve this problem, you need to install a stable version of drivers for your video card from the official website of its manufacturer. Do not try to install the latest available video card drivers; it is important to choose stable drivers. In most cases, updating drivers helps solve the World of Tanks crash problem and ensure smooth operation of the game.

Along with the problem related to the video card drivers, there is a hardware problem. The presence of hardware problems on the computer leads to the fact that throws you out of World of Tanks. The most common is damaged RAM. To find out if there is a problem with the memory, you need to test it. This also includes the problem with bad sectors of the hard drive. To fix it, you need to enable standard scanning for your hard drive. Windows itself can fix 99% of all hard drive problems that lead to World of Tanks kicking. If the hard drive has bad sectors, the standard Scan Disk program will prohibit accessing them and will assign good sectors instead. This will slightly reduce the size of your HDD disk, but will completely eliminate the problem with World of Tanks freezing and dropping out of the game. If there are problems with the RAM or SSD, they will need to be replaced. Otherwise, World of Tanks will not work stably. This is why hardware problems are the most expensive to fix.

Solving the World of Tanks freezing problem

Firstly, we found out why World of Tanks crashes. To do this, the use of mods has been disabled. Reinstalled video card drivers. We scanned the RAM and hard drive. If at these stages it was not possible to solve the problem, it is better to reinstall the game. Please pay special attention that the presence of anti-virus software on your computer in most cases requires its preliminary configuration before launching World of Tanks. You will need to ensure that the ports needed to run the game are open. Once the ports are open, add an exception for World of Tanks to all firewalls and firewalls on your PC. Don't forget that your router may also have a built-in firewall. You will also have to configure your router, opening unhindered access to World of Tanks connections.

Secondly, instability of work, freezing and then when throws you out of World of Tanks may cause your computer to have insufficient system resources. When installing World of Tanks, you are prompted to choose whether to install the SD version or the HD version. The top HD version runs on the Core engine and uses the most advanced technologies, saving PC resources and delivering maximum graphics in the game. However, if your PC is not the newest, we recommend installing the SD version of World of Tanks. This will allow the game to run much more stable and faster. In addition, choosing the SD version allows
