Unable to Start the Game

Ding760's Photo Ding760 22 May 2012

Hi!

Had this problem when the 7.3 update came.

Basically... WoT won't start, I go into the launcher and go into the game, and while in the loading screen BEFORE the 'World of Tanks' cinematics appear, the loading bar would get to about 75% finished and then bam! The game just closes by itself. And no matter how many times I re-try to get into the game it simply keeps closing itself at that loading bar.

Funny thing is if I just turn on my laptop or if I restart the game the game will run, it will always run the first time after turning on or restarting the laptop. But if I close WoT and then try to start the game again in one session without turning off or restarting the computer, this problem occurs.

I've tried not using the launcher and re-trying to start the game over 10 times consecutively to no success.

I am getting tired of restarting my laptop to play WoT because I always have horrible lag spikes 30 minutes after turning on or restarting my laptop.

Advice?

Thanks!:)

Have you tried re-downloading and re-installing the game? Prehaps a file got corrupted in the update.

hi there mr ding darn shame yo have this problem..
many strange things happens now since the update and many ppl had issues like game won't start or behaving just like u say or simply just stops to respond
and i had some issues my self directly after the update
however my advice is for you to make a wipe and do a clean install and if its still giving same problem we will work from there
btw dont instal 7.2 and then update download the whole client 7.3 its i think nearly 3gb

but if you decide not to make a new install well...check this link it maybe be helpfull http://forum.worldof...me/page__st__20

When downloading, a file may not be sent through correctly. Not your fault. It just happens. Of course, it may not be this but I'd still recommend doing it again. That usually works for me.
