Update 9.16: Bugs & Issues

Doh2x, on Oct 08 2016 - 18:51, said: Just a few items I've noted since 9.16 rolled out:   1)  Game crashes sporadically...entering battle or when engaged w/multiple targets at close range.  Was every 3 battles or so prior to installing Aslains.  Now maybe 1 in 15 battles or so.   2) Additionally with CTD, it seems after 9.15, IF the game crashed, WoT automatically restarted to login screen.  Since 9.16, restart is still auto attempted but fails because WoT is still running according to Task Manager (TM used to terminate instance, then manual restart usually works...till the next crash).  Also, when exiting the game via the "gear" option, WoT is still shown as running in TM.   3) "WargamingGameUpdater.exe" is displayed as running in Task Manager, constantly.  Even if WoT is NOT running.  Killing the process works but then that .exe shows back up a few mins later.  WHY??   4) Sixth Sense seems to be hit or miss now (with or without Aslain's installed).   Just a few little quirks we have to work around to continue playing the game we love.

Edit to clarify- that it doesn't even let me hit esc to bring up the menu. I have to click on garage  at which point it says "Loading Interface" before I can do anything else, can't even spin tank.

Phox_fighter, on Oct 08 2016 - 22:57, said: Got a bug that I suspect is terminal.  It's called Lag Freeze.  It happens without warning and has cost me six games by freezing me in the open and not letting me move or fire.  I have all the new stuff shut off and have set my graphics to low.  It still happens.  How do I know its the game and not my keyboard?  The day before 9.16 was loaded I played a specific map (Fiery Salient) and all was fine. Then came 9.16. During the game I froze and locked up six times on the same map, same game.  I reduced things and only froze four times in the next game.  Then I shut off the idiot damage markers and freezes after being hit dropped markedly,  Finally I set everything to low, making the game look cheap and only froze twice.   Since this appears to be completely acceptable to others, I've decided that as soon as I run out of gold I'll quit the game.  It's not fun anymore; it's a pain in the neck. Those of you who still play, remember; this game will continue to be "Improved" until only those with new computers boosted to the max in graphics will be able to play it.  Then it will die. I won't be there for that.  I'll go find something else to play.
