Error while updating World of Tanks

First, as recommended in the bug, we look at 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 there quite a lot of useful information, including an error in updating the hangar file:

21/11/2017 14:02:12 ERROR: apply bin-diffs. what: IO error. msg: name \u003d "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 problem with the update

Due to the fact that no game session of the client 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 a directory on your local disk.

1. Option 1 Do not update the client, but reinstall it in a new folder. To avoid critical errors, it is always advisable to install the client in a new folder. This way you will avoid problems with the blocking of the game by your firewalls and firewalls and files in the operating system registry, which may give incorrect commands to the newly installed client.
2. Option 2 Install the update not through WoTLauncher, but manually, after downloading it from the official website of the World of Tanks (do not forget to take into account the recommendations from Option 1).
3. Option 3 (hardest) With the help of special software, you can check the integrity of the hash of the update being installed and, if it does not match the original, download the update directly from the site (option 2).

1. If you face the problem of excessive blurring of the image in battle, change the graphics settings (in the Garage, click "Settings"\u003e "Graphics"):

• Uncheck the Dynamic Change checkbox for 3D rendering.
• Set the "3D Render Resolution" slider to 100%.

2. If there is a problem with "crashes" on AMD video cards, or rather with drivers of version 15.7, then install drivers of an earlier version, for example 14.12 (you can download them).

3. If the game closes during the A ngara update, this may be due to the absence of the A wesomium folder.

To solve the problem:

1. Download the archive .
2. Open the folder where the game client, open the res folder in it and unpack the contents of the archive into the res folder.
3. Try the game as well.

4. If, after installing the mods, some textures of both the map and the tanks themselves (for example) disappear, then the problem is related to the game modifications that place the d3d9.dll file in the folder with the game client. To solve the problem, simply delete the d3d9.dll file from the game folder.

Tankers!

From update to update, World of Tanks is becoming more interesting and multifaceted. We wish you successful battles, and also remind you that with any gaming questions and difficulties you may have, you can contact the User Support Center (CSC), whose employees work around the clock and are ready to provide qualified assistance in any situation.

Below we will look at the most frequently asked questions related to the release of updates, and possible solutions.

Problems with using mods

Many people play World of Tanks using various client modifications. We remind you that they are not created by Wargaming, but by third-party developers and users. Therefore, when official updates of World of Tanks are released, the game client may not work correctly with modified files: fps drop, client "freezing" and "crashes", lack of textures in sniper mode, as well as a number of other problems.

In most cases, such problems are solved by removing the modification of the game, sometimes this requires a complete reinstallation of the client. More questions related to modifications, as well as ways to solve problems are considered.

Wargaming is not responsible for the operation of the game client with modified files. The exceptions are WG Stream, WG Social, and WGTV voiceovers. All users using these mods are advised to download and install the latest versions by following the links.

Performance. Falling FPS

In order to get the most out of the available computer power and get comfortable gaming performance, it is very important to optimally tune the client configuration. To do this, it is recommended to use the autodetection of graphics settings. Open the tab in the game client Menu > Settings > Graphics, press the button Recommended, wait for the settings to complete and press Apply... The system will automatically select the most acceptable graphics quality for the game, based on the parameters of your computer.

In many cases, you can solve graphics problems in the game by updating the video card drivers. On the CPP website, you will find detailed instructions on how to do this for Nvidia and Radeon video cards.

We also offer a video for viewing, which will help you to properly configure the graphics based on the capabilities of your computer.

Launcher problems

The World of Tanks client is updated via the launcher. Occasionally, there may be problems downloading or installing an update. We will list the most common ones:

• "Error unpacking update file. Click on Repeat for re-download ".
• Fatal error: Failed to download updates via http. The application cannot continue to run. Details are available in the log file. "
• The status bar displays Boot Loader Update: Check for Updates.
• "Failed to display web page."
• The gear is spinning continuously. "Online - Offline" is lit.
• The Play button is grayed out.
• “An unhandled exception is occured. The application will be restarted. "

Many players faced such a common problem in the game launcher as they could not unpack the World of Tanks update. There can be many reasons, as a rule, removing the client completely, and downloading it over again does not solve the problem.

We offer you several options for solving this problem.

1. Downloading updates may be interrupted due to the fact that your local account does not have administrator rights, for this you need to log into the administrator account and try to download or update the client again.

2. Check the drivers for your video card are up to date. Go to the official website of the video card manufacturer (AMD, Intel, NVidia) and try to download the latest drivers.

3. On some laptops with the ability to work with multiple video cards, this error may also occur, because the launcher detects only the integrated card by default, for this you need to specify only the discrete video card in the video adapter settings and try again.

4. Check your hard disk for errors and bad sectors, if your disk has them, then this alone may be one of the reasons for the error. In this case, you need to replace the hard drive and download the client again.

5. It is possible that your computer is infected with viruses that prohibit writing to your 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 check" function of the hard disk partition on which the game is installed.

If no viruses were found, you can add the game folder to the antivirus exclusions

6. In the root of the game folder, there is a subdirectory with updates Updates, try to delete it completely and run the launcher.

7. If for a long time the message “Bootloader update.

Checking for Updates ”, you can try clearing the dynamic cache (DNS). This can be done by entering the command in the Windows command line.

Please note that the number of sent / received packets should be the same, if this is not the case, then the update server may not respond. You have to wait a while and try again.

8. During the update, the gear wheel is spinning continuously on the main screen, this is due to an error with the vbs script, or incorrect installation of Visual C ++ components that the game requires. Download the new version of the libraries and try again. We hope our instructions will help you, the World of Tanks update could not be unpacked to get rid of the problem.

Many people face such a problem as an error in unpacking the World of Tanks update file, there may be several reasons for this. Firstly, your game client may be underloaded, or rather its resources.

Let's say the game loaded 3.3 GB, that is, half, and then knocked out this error

Check the activity of your antivirus, you may need to disable it during the update installation. The antivirus can have a built-in firewall, that is, a special utility that blocks incoming calls to servers, it is also advisable to disable it for a while.

You can also try disabling the firewall tools built into the Windows operating system, or simply add the game to your firewall exceptions. To do this, you need to create a rule for the application, specify the folder with the game and the application file. After the rule is created, it is advisable to reinstall the client and download the resources again.

The next reason for this error is most often found on laptops in which the integrated video card is paired with an external

Due to the fact that the launcher cannot determine in time what video adapter you have, it most often switches to the integrated card, and there may not be enough video memory. To do this, go to the properties of your AMD / Intel / Nvidia graphics adapter in the 3D settings tab, try adding this game to the list of applications.

If this does not help, then you need to check your hard drive for errors, sometimes it happens that bad sectors appear on the hard drive, this is most often due to the deterioration of the hard drive, or some kind of damage.

In the presence of such sectors, the system often knocks out errors, for example, it cannot write a file or read it, which is why an error occurs when unpacking the World of Tanks update file. Here you need to go to the built-in Windows tools and check for errors.

In the check utility, select the checkbox "check and fix bad sectors" and start checking. It will take a certain amount of time, the check takes place during the PC reboot, the built-in Chkdsk utility takes several steps, wait until the check is complete.

If you have any error during the check, you need to copy it from the report file and send it to the Wargaming support center, they should help you solve the problem. If you still have a hardware problem with your hard drive, you should replace it with a new one.

When submitting an application, do not forget to attach files with logs, or images where the error is indicated.

If this does not help, then you need to check your RAM, since some game resources are initially copied into RAM, if everything is not okay with it, this error may occur and you will need to go to the service and replace the RAM, after trying to load play again. We hope that one of our tips will help you and you will be able to play World of Tanks again.
