Game servers will be unavailable on the night of 26 to 27 September(Rescheduled) on the night of October 08-09, 2018. On Thursday morning on Tuesday, you will start the game and you will see that the launcher shows an update available for download. After downloading the patch in automatic mode, you can immediately start playing World of Tanks 1.2.

Download World of Tanks 1.2

Those who want to download update 1.2 now can download a preliminary version of the patch starting from October 04, 2018. For those who download World of Tanks 1.2 in advance, at the time of the release of the update, it will be necessary to download the missing few megabytes using the launcher in automatic mode in order to start the game already in new version of World of Tanks. Update 1.2 preload takes about 2-20 minutes depending on your Internet connection speed. Patch 1.2 files are 1.4 GB in size.

With the release of each update, it becomes necessary to update the client.

Basically, it automatically updates itself, but there are situations when:

The game itself gives out that it is necessary to update the client;
after installing the game update, the client gives an error;
during a client update, an additional download of updates begins.

Most of the problems with updating the client in the game application can be associated with the extensive use of cheat mods. They are the ones downloaded and installed with the presence a large number viruses do not allow a gamer to play normally in an online game.

Consider some ways to update the World of Tanks game client

1. We try to run the game application file with a link to the new update. After launch, the client must update itself, as it provides for an independent (automatic) update.

2. In cases involving a manual or selective update method, it is necessary on the official website of the game application in the "Game" tab, by date to find the last update released. Select the required file and download it to the World of Tanks installation folder.

The next step is to start the client and, if necessary, specify the path to update the new downloaded update file

3. If you refuse to start the client, you must check for "permission to automatically install updates". If there is a ban, then the game will not start without updating and rebooting.

4. Sometimes you need to find the "Launcher" in the installation folder and run it. This action will push the slowing system to update quickly.

5. The last way to update the client World games of Tanks and solve problems with the game not starting after the update, you can call the elimination of prohibited modifications.

It is a large number of them that sometimes do not give permission to automatically update the client.

Therefore, as it were, it was not sad for “honest” players, but they would have to remove all prohibited mods and run the client to update. Subsequently, of course, you can download again and install all the necessary mod packs. But again, this is at your own peril and risk, since they are prohibited and in the future they may also be a source of such problems.

Official mods can not be touched, they cannot cause any glitches even when cheating mods are removed, others should not be touched.

The developers of World of Tanks have a lot of plans for the upcoming 2018. The nearest of them is the release of update 9.22 World of Tanks. Its main focus is on Soviet technology. Branches PT, ST and TT are changing dramatically.

When will update 9.22 be released World of Tanks?

From the grand event WG FEST 2017 it became known that next update patch will be 9.22 WoT, and already in March 2018 we should expect world of tanks 1.0 (game with new HD maps).

And also don't forget to check how well the existing hardware can draw HD cards, for this, use World of Tanks enCore and test the new engine and your computer power.

Release date - updates 1.2

General test of update 9.22

Update 9.22 Public Test is scheduled for release in February 2018.

Due to numerous requests from players, the branch of Soviet anti-tank guns with a rear wheelhouse will be reworked. Of course, the main prize here is the Object 263 - a powerful and interesting machine, however, the branch itself is generally problematic and unplayable. Therefore, the developers have planned the following changes:

  • SU-101 and SU-101M1 remain in their places, however, will be upgraded.
  • SU-122-54 will disappear from the upgraded branch. This vehicle does not correspond to the logic of the branch development, having a standard cabin location, weak armor and a relatively low amount of XP. Due to these design features, the car could not compete on equal terms with most classmates.
  • Object 263 "moves" to the 9th level.
  • Object 268 Option 4 - will be a new top.

Changes are also planned for the branch of medium tanks. In particular, the game will develop 3 branches with unique gameplay and combat characteristics:


Good news awaits fans of Soviet heavyweights. Starting from the KV-13, an additional line of heavy tanks with aft turrets will be developed. 3 fundamentally new machines will appear here: IS-2Sh, Object 705 and Object 705A.


In many respects, these machines resemble the legendary IS-7, but they offer a completely new gameplay.

New premium tanks

The developers plan to carry out large-scale work on premium tanks with a reduced level of battles. Often beneficiaries are unable to equally counteract their classmates. This is due to the fact that the pumped equipment is regularly improved, and the characteristics of premium tanks do not change. This problem requires a comprehensive solution, however, it must be implemented gradually to avoid imbalance in the game.

Game Modes

New game modes will be added to the game, which will help make the gameplay more vivid and rich. In addition, changes are expected in the Ranked Battles that many people like. Here, the game mechanics will be somewhat reworked, which will allow for healthy competition at key stages. In particular:

  • Chevrons will be awarded to players from both teams, however, the winners will be entitled to more chevrons.
  • The ranking system will be increased, but will retain the general concept of the second season.
  • The ranks obtained will now be saved even after unsuccessful battles, but players will have to defend their current status on the battlefields.
  • The duration of the stages will be increased, therefore, you will not have to sit all day at the computer to achieve certain results. This decision is aimed at the efficiency of the players.

What to expect in Update 9.22

In addition to the changes listed above, other improvements, changes in development branches and much more are planned in the game.

How bonds will be earned

Planned new options for obtaining an alternative game currency. Bonds are now earned for epic rewards and achievements earned while playing on Tier 9-10 vehicles. In addition, you can earn currency in the general battle mode and on global map. However, mindful of their promises, the developers have planned several additional ways to get hold of bonds, and are considering the possibility of spending them on acquiring equipment and modifying appearance machines.

Events

In 2018, World of Tanks will feature new atmospheric events similar to New Year's Offensive and Leviathan Invasion. A more extensive list of available rewards will be implemented here, including the ability to receive bonds for certain achievements. Let's add that tank football competitions will be held in the summer, which many players liked.

The game World of Tanks is constantly updated. Developers are trying to quickly introduce a variety of innovations that will not let the player get bored. No wonder gamers get confused when trying to figure out which version of the game is currently installed.

Today we will answer the question, what version of World of Tanks do you have now, tell you what is interesting in it, and talk about its features.

Update 9.16 General Information

The current version of World of Tanks is 9.16. In it, the players encountered the changed visibility mechanics, the first Swedish-made tank, vehicles reworked in HD, the new map "Paris" and other interesting things.

An interesting innovation is a change in the mechanics of the “light” of tanks. As the developers say, recently a tank moving at high speed was rendered with some delay, which made the players uncomfortable - they had to shoot with a large lead.

Now the enemy is immediately visible - this allows you to respond to a change in the situation faster.

An important novelty is the appearance of the first Swedish tank, the predecessor of a whole line new technology. We are talking about a Swedish combat vehicle of the sixth level. The medium premium tank, equipped with a loading drum, surprised the players.

Someone will be impressed by the new map "Paris". You will find yourself in the square of the French capital, where you will see the Eiffel Tower. The map is a great place for heavy tank battles. There is an open area for high-speed cars, there is a central square where those who want to compete close up come together.

Now players have the opportunity to take allies from other clans on raids.

Useful little things

The developers decided to relieve the creators of modifications from the need to introduce some of them into the game by adding new version the most popular add-ons.

Today, March 20, 2018 released world update of Tanks versions 1.0. What changes have taken place in the game?

Graphics changes in WOT 1.0

What awaits the players new world of Tanks 1.0?

The main change in graphics will be the ability to increase detail and performance. World of Tanks Core allows you to increase the number of triangles for each texture as much as necessary specific computer user. The more powerful the PC, the more realistic World of Tanks will be. At the same time, performance will not be excessively loaded due to the use of optimizations in the Core engine.

How the Core graphics engine works

The trees in the game will become a set of 3D screenshots, which will significantly save computer resources with high quality textures. Any fire effects will only be detailed externally, and the invisible area of ​​the effect will remain at low resolution. This will significantly reduce resource consumption and add smoothness to the movement of the tank, remove lags due to the lack of graphics adapter performance on medium PCs. Most graphics calculations will be done once in advance. Each time, the triangles will not be recalculated, and the Core engine will only display the reflections of surfaces, water, or metal sheen that it already has.
