Approximately every two to three months, Wargaming releases a new patch for World of Tanks. The latest update (September 2014), 9.2, was released on July 29, 2014. Less than two months have passed since Wargaming prepared a new patch 9.3. Testing of update 9.3 is in full swing. Players of the RU cluster can try out “fresh” light tanks in battle, and also experience the new “punitive system” for themselves. In addition, the update will introduce interesting advantages to premium tanks, and the characteristics of a couple of fun vehicles will deteriorate ( British self-propelled guns FV304, American tank destroyer M18), and the popular KV-1S will be removed from the game. More precisely, this Tier 6 supertank will be divided into 2 tanks, as was once the case with a regular KV. But every time a patch is released, players have to update the game. How to update World of Tanks and do it right?

Strictly speaking, there are two ways to update the World of Tanks game:

• through the game launcher;
• using a special file client.patch.download.

Let's look at both methods and decide how best to update the game.

True, for starters, it’s worth saying that all updates must be downloaded only from the official website of the game http://worldoftanks.ru. By downloading patches from other sites or torrents, you expose your game account to the risk of being “hijacked”. A few patches ago, the game was updated in another way: the patch was downloaded as a regular exe file and installed on top of the client. Wargaming abandoned this method of updating, since subsequent conversion game files took a huge amount of time, and after installing the exe, the game client often crashed.

So, if a new patch has been released, you can update the client as follows: launch the game launcher and wait until the files are downloaded.

The launcher will automatically download everything necessary files and install the update.

The volume of updates can reach three gigabytes. So, if you have a slow Internet connection, downloading updates for the game will take longer. In this case, you have a choice: directly download the files of the new patch from the Wargaming server or use a torrent to update.

Another way to update the game client is as follows: you download a special file in the format “patch name_client.patch.download” and copy it to a special folder game client. You can get a link to download this file on the game’s official website http://worldoftanks.ru/ru/content/guide/general/frequently_asked_questions/#ways_to_load.

After downloading the client.patch.download file, you need to copy it to the Updates directory, which is located in the path C:/Games/World_of_Tanks. After this, you need to launch the game launcher, and the updates will be automatically installed.

The answer to the question of how to update WoT has been received. There are a few left to remember useful tips. When updating the game client, it is better to disable the firewall and antivirus, as well as all programs that consume the Internet in “unlimited quantities” - torrent clients and downloaders. How fewer programs will load the Internet channel, the faster you update the client. As for the installation time of new updates, it all depends on their volume and the hardware of your computer. Sometimes the installation can take up to half an hour.

Tankers!

From update to update, World of Tanks becomes more and more interesting and multifaceted. We wish you successful battles, and also remind you that if you have any gaming questions or difficulties, you can contact the User Support Center (USC) or official project group on VKontakte, whose employees work around the clock and are ready to provide qualified assistance in any situation.

Open a tab in the game client Menu > Settings > Graphic arts, press the button Recommended, wait until the settings are completed and press Apply. The system will automatically select the most appropriate graphics quality for the game, based on the parameters of your computer.

Problems associated with using modifications

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 World of Tanks updates are released, the game client may not work correctly with modified files: fps drop, client freezes and crashes, lack of textures in sniper mode, as well as a number of other problems.

In most cases, such problems can be solved by removing the game modification; sometimes this requires reinstalling the entire client. Issues related to modifications, as well as ways to solve problems, are discussed in more detail.

Error when updating World of Tanks

First, as recommended in the error, we look through 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 there 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="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 not a single client gaming session was initiated, the update is buggy and generates an error. Therefore, if you are updating World of Tanks to a new version, we recommend that you log into the game at least once before so that the necessary files are created in a directory on the local disk.

1. Option 1 Do not update the client, but install it again 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 game being blocked 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, having first downloaded it 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) Using a special software You can check the integrity of the hash of the installed update and if it does not match the original, download the update directly from the site (option 2).
