Maps and objects

Added new game cards

"Mittengard" (for the initial levels of battles) is a small map created specifically for the battles of the initial levels. Starting positions on the rocky slopes do not provide any cover, so the best tactic is to hastily occupy the city streets. Artillery is located on both sides of the city's cathedral - a breakthrough in this area will be a significant contribution to victory.

Lost City (Teamfights) - As an esports arena, we offer a carefully balanced symmetrical mixed map created with the participation of leading players. The features of the map include the ability to fight in the center on several levels at once, skirmishing with a small group of enemy tanks while maintaining visual contact with his other forces. The discreet color palette and soft daylight are designed to provide maximum gaming comfort.

"Winterberg" - the map is completely identical to the well-known "Ruinberg", differing from it only by the time of year. The circular square in the western part of the city serves as a place for protracted positional battles. Concentric city streets are suitable for the gradual breaking of enemy defenses by heavily armored vehicles, and a long radial street will allow dagger fire at the enemy. The eastern area of ​​the map is quite open and quite suitable for medium tank maneuvers, but only if they control a small settlement in the middle of this zone.

When trying to update, a critical error is generated with the following content:

Game client update

• Critical error.
• Failed to install updates.
• The application cannot be continued.
• Detailed information is available in the log file.

The update has been suspended. When you click the "Play" button, World of Tanks does not start. What to do in this situation? Solving the problem with the game client update error.

Error when updating World of Tanks

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

11/21/2017 02:02:12 PM ERROR: apply bin-diffs. what: IO error. msg: name="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 update problem

Due to the fact that no client game session was initiated, the update is buggy and gives an error. Therefore, if you update World of Tanks to new version, we recommend that you enter the game at least once before that, so that the necessary files are created in the directory on the local disk.

1. Option 1 Do not update the client, but install it again in a new folder. In order to avoid critical errors, it is always desirable to install the client in a new folder. This way you will avoid problems with blocking the game by your firewalls and firewalls and files in the registry operating system, which may give incorrect commands to a newly installed client.
2. Option 2 Install the update not through WoTLauncher, but manually by downloading it first from the official World of Tanks website (do not forget to take into account the recommendations from Option 1).
3. Option 3 (the most difficult) With the help of a 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).

Probably many of you have encountered such a problem in the game launcher: Critical error. Error when starting the game. The application cannot be continued. Detailed information in the log file

Let's look at the screenshot of the problem.

For example, I came across it twice for all the use of the world of tanks game.

Solutions to this problem are different, from reinstalling the game, to picking the registry and updating Microsoft system files. All errors are written to a file WOTLauncher.log in folder with installed game(default C:\Games\World_of_Tanks)

This manual is suitable for testing full version and for updating. You can check the checksums in the file manager "" or a separate utility "" ().

Initially, you should place the downloaded checksum file () in the same directory as the installer or patch file.
The file is relevant for version 0.8.6 and patch .

In "Total Commander"
1. Go to the folder with the checksum file, select it and run it;

2. Next, a window with the progress of the check will appear. If no errors were found as a result of the check, then the client installer is original and was downloaded completely (not damaged);

3. If errors were found during the check, the installer is damaged and you need to download it again.

In "MD5summer"
1. Place the file "md5summer.exe" in the folder with the checksum file and the installer;

2. In the program interface that opens, click the Verify sums button;

3. Select the required md5 file and click Open;

5. If no errors are found (which will be indicated by a green indicator), then the client installer is original and was downloaded completely (not damaged);

6.If errors were found (red indicator) - the installer is damaged and you need to download it again.

6. Solving the problem with Wargaming Launcher Critical Error (Problems when starting the client/launcher)

If a critical error occurs when trying to launch, the client crashes, or the game does not launch, follow these steps:

Install latest version drivers for your video card from the manufacturer's website:
« »
" " or

Install the latest version of "DirectX" for your operating system:

7. Why doesn't the "Launcher\Launcher" of the game client work? Here are more versions of solutions to problems from Wargaming

Problem 1
Description: "Critical error. Updates could not be installed. The application cannot continue. Detailed information is available in the log file."
Solution:
Close the game client, delete the "wargaming.net" folder by going to:
"Vista", "Windows 7" C:\Users\UserName\AppData (which is a hidden folder)\Local\Temp\wargaming.net\
"Windows XP" C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Local Settings\temp\wargaming.net\
(where "UserName" is your Windows account name)

You can also get into the folder without changing the visibility settings. Enter "%appdata%" (without quotes) in the explorer address bar, or use "TotalCommander".

Clear the "Updates" folder located in the root directory of the game (example: C:\Games\World_of_Tanks\Updates). At the time of the update, we recommend temporarily disabling anti-virus software.

Launch Launcher. In the Launcher settings, enter port 6881 for incoming connections and activate the "Allow torrent" setting, click OK. Restart the Launcher, wait for the client to automatically update. Turn on your antivirus software. Try adding the game folder to the trusted zone of your antivirus.

Do a full scan of your computer for viruses first.
Also try to create a new Windows account (new user) and run under this account.

Problem 2
Description: "Critical error failed to download updates via http. The application cannot be continued. Detailed information is available in the log file." Published: 20-06-2013, 00:23

World of Tanks (WoT) is a multiplayer online game in the Game genre developed by Wargaming. The gameplay of the game consists in tank battles between two teams. To win one of the teams, you need to destroy all enemy equipment or fulfill the conditions of the mode.

The game uses its own client developed by Wargaming to download and update the game. Sometimes some users face a problem when WoT is not updated. It is this problem that can confuse many players, because without updates the game will not start, and it will be impossible to continue playing further. This article will describe the initial measures that will help fix the problem if game updates are not installing.

WoT is not updated: what to do in such a situation?

First of all, you need to try to find out the reason, usually the client gives an error message. By going to the official website, you can find the number of your error, and then look for an alternative method to solve it.

Sometimes there may not be an error, but the game is still not updated, then you need to check your antivirus alerts, if the antivirus has blocked files with updates, you need to disable it or add these files to the exclusion list. It's best to add files to the exclusion list and the antivirus won't bother you anymore. Turning off the antivirus during the update, you should understand that visiting unwanted sites and downloading something can be dangerous for your computer, wait until the game is updated, and then, after turning the protection back on, continue working.

Corrupt client

It can also be caused by corrupted client files. To fix this problem, you need to go into the client directory and remove it completely. After that, you need to go to the official website of World of Tanks and download the new client, install and run the updates. When deleting the client, you don't have to worry about your progress and achievements in the game, all files with your progress are stored on Wargaming servers.

Server connection problems

Often a situation may arise when WoT is not updated. You may be disconnected from the server. This error may indicate a connection problem with the server. The reason is most often a poor internet connection, so check the speed first.

If your Internet connection is normal, but the client still gives an error, then you need to go to the official WoT website and check the news, usually if the servers are not available, the developers publish information there, and the time will be indicated when they become available again.

Help on the forum

At World games of Tanks, there is an official forum where experienced players usually share their experience, where they sometimes ask other users for help if WoT is not updated. Also on the forum you can download a ready-made game client with the latest updates installed using torrent networks. But when downloading something on the forum, you need to understand that the files are unofficial and they may contain viruses, so be sure to check the files for viruses, and then install them on your computer.
