World of tanks freezes after map update. World of Tanks crashes on startup - fixing errors

Slows down World of Tanks? Or do you have a weak computer? Or did you enter the game after the next update and WoT began to slow down terribly? If all this is familiar to you, but this course of events does not suit you, then we read this article to the end, delving into every line of the text. And, if everything is done correctly, then you will part with the brakes of the game forever ...

So let's start:

Why World of Tanks slows down:

First, let's check such a banal thing as system requirements. I know, I know, now start:

So, minimum system requirements for playing world of tanks:

Operating system: Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10.
256 Kbps.
Processor (CPU): and here is the most interesting in 2014 this figure was 2.2 GHz, in 2015 added to the numbers: "supporting SSE2 technology", a in 2016, the numbers 2.2 GHz were removed, but written in words "With two or more physical cores"(but as far as I know, 2 cores began to be released as soon as the processor frequency exceeded the threshold of 2.6 GHz, so we draw conclusions)
Random access memory (RAM): 1.5 GB for Windows XP, 2 GB for Windows Vista, Windows 7/8/10.
Video adapter: GeForce 6800/ ATI HD X2400 XT with 256 MB of memory, DirectX 9.0c.
Audio: compatible with DirectX 9.0c.
about 27 GB.

The minimum requirements, therefore, are minimal because you start the game, but it will be difficult to play comfortably, believe me. So it is unlikely that the client will be able to remove the “brakes” and “freezes”. Here you can’t do without upgrading your hardware ... The parts recommended for replacement are, of course, the processor, video card and RAM ...

Operating system: Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10 - 64-bit.
Internet connection speed: 1024 kbps or higher (for voice chat).
Processor (CPU): Intel Core i5-3330 (for those who do not know: 4 cores at 3 GHz - not sickly).
Random access memory (RAM): 4 GB (or more).
Video adapter: GeForce GTX660 (2 GB) / Radeon HD 7850 2 GB, DirectX 9.0c.
Audio card: compatible with DirectX 9.0c.
Free hard disk space:~36 GB.

The recommended requirements are certainly not exorbitant, but for old computers it is, as they say, “like walking to China” and if you are reading this article, then you have something in between these two characteristics. As usual, either the video is weak, or the RAM is not enough, or the percentage was inherited from someone's "piece of iron"

Slows down World of Tanks! Well, what can be done here?

If you have lags and brakes due to the processor and even more so if this very processor is single-core, then you can’t do anything about it, will have to change, well, he “does not take out” the game now, although in 2014 it was still possible to play on this ... alas

By the way, I wrote about how to choose a good computer in an article, I recommend reading it.

Next comes random access memory (RAM). What can be done with her? Physically, of course, nothing. But you can, after all, remove unnecessary garbage, all the programs that are loaded in your tray (who doesn’t know, the tray is where the Windows clock is, usually the lower right corner). That's why you need all sorts of managers there when playing (viber, mail, icq, skype, etc.) - close it! Torrent?! Definitely OFF! Not only does he "eat" the operative, he also clogs the Internet channel. Next, the browser, brrrr ... Look in the manager how much Google Chrome “eats”. Be horrified! We close! The rest of the browsers (because they also consume a lot), we also close it! I would even close the antivirus for the duration of the game (by the way, NOD32 has a game mode that frees up a certain amount of RAM for games), and it’s not possible to completely disable any antivirus so simply.

Special aesthetes use programs like Wise Memory Optimizer, which clean up memory from unused data (personally, I would not recommend using these, because I myself caught the “blue screen of death” on a test computer with winXR installed).
It is better, of course, to buy RAM up to a decent 4 GB, especially if you have an old computer, then the RAM for it (DDR, DDR2) will cost mere pennies, and the comfort from it will be felt for a very, very long time. On the test machine, I played on a dual-channel RAMe (DDR2) of 4 GB (2x2GB) and everything was fine!

Next in line is ours video card.

If there is not enough video memory, then we try to remove the excess using the program W.O.T. Tweaker downloading it for the current version of the game client on the Internet. In the tweaker, you can remove such extras. effects that cannot be disabled from the game client, such as flying dirt from under the tracks, optical effects from a burning tank, etc. But it's worth it, trust me!

If the fps in the game shows too little 5-10, then you can try starting the client in "safe mode":


this will disable all installed mods and you can safely say that fps sags due to mods. For example, I met fps drawdown from mod . About more detailed graphics settings, I will post a video clip at the end of the article. Read more…

It happens to someone that computer hardware is far from weak, and up to the latest versions, and in the tray it doesn’t hang out anything superfluous (like a torrent), but worl of tanks slows down anyway. Then the problem is most likely in the Internet provider. Pay attention to the ping in the game, if it exceeds 50 ms, then something is wrong, or the provider is to blame, or you are running some kind of program that requires an Internet connection, or a virus, such as a Trojan, has got into your computer, which constantly sends packages on your internet channel.

A word about 3G modems

Pro 3G modems(4G modems) I don't want to talk here. A whole article has been written about this:. In it, I explained why everything is so bad when playing via a USB modem and which WoT game server you don’t connect to, the ping is still huge, sometimes up to 300 ms. It remains only to regret such people who, apart from 3G, do not have any i-net, and there are not a few of them. And to say that the world of tanks is slowing down for them is to say nothing ...

Well, and probably the last reason that lies in the operating system itself. As the programmers say “windows must die” ... And they don’t say it for nothing. During the operation of Windows, any slag is collected in the system registry, ranging from old entries about long-deleted programs and games to new entries from some satellite mail, Yandex browser and, God forbid, from some kind of virus that alone can create up to a million false registry entries in order to load the full percent.

So, over time, all this loads the work of the operating system itself, then how long it takes for programs to start running or the same text editor opens or saves documents for a very long time. Here know that Windows has come to an end. And do not expect from her super speeds and even more comfortable playing WoT.

There are only 2 ways out. The easiest and almost painless for the brain is to remove Windows and install a new one. The second is to start a complete cleaning of the computer, removing unnecessary programs, defragmenting disks, cleaning the registry. Long and painful. But it's up to you.

Well, as promised, at the end of the article I post video from the developers themselves(by the way, many thanks to them for it) about how to optimize graphics in World of Tanks. This video talks in detail about what fps is and what each slider in the settings is responsible for, how you can achieve an increase in fps and what it will cost.

Adjusting graphics in WoT since version 1.0

And that's all for me! Many thanks to all those who mastered this article to the end! Good luck in setting up the client, huge fps for you and no lags, so that later you don’t ask why World of Tanks is slowing down.

Do not forget to share in the comments who and how defeated lags, brakes and friezes in World of Tanks. After all, your comment can help a hundred or even a thousand people!

Dear players, before asking your question, take the trouble to read all the comments, perhaps there is already an answer to it. All duplicate questions will be ignored. Thanks for understanding!

Each player has encountered the fact that World of Tanks crashes during the battle. This is one of those situations that you wouldn't wish even on your opponent. There may be just a few reasons, or there may be a whole combination.

In any case, it's worth taking active troubleshooting and troubleshooting steps as soon as possible that are causing the game to crash.

Systematic ignoring of these factors can serve as an alarm bell and mean that the computer will stop working and it will no longer be destined to win.

All reasons can be divided into just a few categories:

Problems, the elimination of which is possible by the player himself.
problems that are caused by factors beyond the control of the player.

The most important among the first is the factor of unstable Internet connection. Possible "symptoms" - the game starts, continues until a certain moment, then the picture suddenly stops or loops.

And so the fastest methods to check are:
1) Disable any antivirus software. Or putting them in game mode, very often helps to solve the problem.
2) Opened laucher 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, reinstallation will begin. Problem solved.
3) Update all drivers (first of all for the video card) Wargaming also always recommends turning off the obligatory NVIDIA PhysX for NVIDIA video cards (set by default).

Do not panic, it is better to immediately begin to solve this problem

Make sure that there are enough funds on the personal account in the provider's personal account to pay for the period of using the Internet. If at the moment the required amount is not available, but you need to finish the match, you can use a temporary trust replenishment, now many providers provide this service. If you can’t even enter your personal account, then it’s obvious that the problems are in the cable.

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

The second group of factors should include such situations when all the equipment is working, but World of Tanks crashes during the battle as before. The reason may be maintenance work on the server. As a rule, the administration notifies each player and, as an apology, makes small compensation gifts. It remains only to wait until the server is up and running again.

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

If your equipment does not match 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 an unambiguous answer here, since everyone has individual problems. But, basically, all the problems are based on the fact that your PC just simply does not pull on some of the requirements.

The game uses an engine called Big World. Although it has an excellent server part, which, due to its structure, is able to withstand simply enormous loads, while excluding dishonest users from using cheat codes, the client part of the engine is a little limp. Especially in those issues that relate to 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 again raised: “the world of tanks game hangs, 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, the technique you use

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

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

If at least one of the listed components does not hold out, then this will already be a reason for the poor performance of the game.

If there is no opportunity to purchase and upgrade a PC, then you can, of course, try to fix problems from the inside. For starters, it's worth checking the game settings and trying to lower 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 - to free up more space on the disk with the game, if there is not enough of it.

The BigWorld engine used in the game, although it provides a chic server part, the structure of which is capable of holding enormous loads and excludes the possibility of using classic cheats, the client part is a little lame, in particular in terms 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. Here are the minimum system requirements recommended by the game developers themselves:

• Operating system: Windows XP /Vista /7 /8
• Processor (CPU): 2.2 GHz
• RAM: 1.5 GB for Windows XP, 2 GB for Windows Vista/7
• Video adapter: GeForce 6800/ ATI X800 with 256 MB of 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, then the game will not start. 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 as a result of various brakes.

Understanding the cause of the problem

Let's see why it may not be comfortable to play World of Tanks. The game slows down primarily due to lack of system resources. If the funds allow you, 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 take a look at a few responsible pieces of iron:

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

Even if 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

Why World of Tanks slows down, we have already superficially sorted it out, now let's take action.

If there is not enough video memory

Your weak video card is to blame here. This deficiency is treated by reducing the quality of graphics in the game settings. You can also resort to the program to disable additional effects that are not so easy to cut out in the game.

If there is not enough RAM

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

But, if there is no such possibility, well, we release the operative. First of all, even before the launch of the game and reasonable questions "what to do if the world of tanks lags", you need to see what programs you have running. Close everything! Browser, player, all sorts of skype with ICQ and qips, torrents and other programs. We close everything!

If it doesn’t 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 see in this video:

For those who are experiencing problems, they wonder when playing without comfort in World of Tanks - 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.
