CabbageMechanic: Hey Tankers,

We are aware that players are trying to game the event with a variety of strategies, and we will be taking measure to disqualify players who share their account, utilize "botting" software, or otherwise attempt to inappropriate pad their stamp count.  We appreciate the feedback regarding the event design, and I agree that this event has incentivized some undesirable behaviors.  We will be sharing that feedback with the event designers with the hopes of rewarding better gameplay habits in the future.

Happy Tanking,

CM

Felipe6666Original:   Sí, en general, son problemas globales, no solo de esta región. Es por ello que los desarrolladores ya están trabajando para intentar solucionar todo lo antes posible.

Felipe6666Original:   En verdad, tiene más que ver con autorizaciones de otros departamentos. De nuestra parte, la organización ya está lista, solo nos falta el visto bueno

Felipe6666Original: La vuelta de los torneos ya está en nuestra agenda, pero todavía quedan detalles que pulir antes de su reintroducción.   ¡Saludos!

Felipe6666Original: Como señaló Pepetruelo, directamente omitimos esa parte de la información porque no tenía sentido informar sobre un evento en el que no pueden obtener los premios físicos.   ¡Thread cerrado! ¡Saludos!

Felipe6666Original: ¡Hecho!   Igualmente, como mencionó Logos, no será posible entregar premios físicos a todos aquellos que vivan fuera de los Estados Unidos. Sin embargo, estamos considerando implementar una compensación para aquellos que ganen alguno de estos premios y no puedan recibirlos.   ¡Thread cerrado! ¡Saludos!

Mezurashi: Topic locked. You're technically calling out the whole clan, please be careful.

MA77WoT: Por questões legais, está promoção (prêmios Intel) só é válida para residentes nos Estados Unidos e Canadá.   Nós estamos trabalhando para que todos estes eventos sejam legalizados em toda a América Latina e infelizmente esbarramos em diferentes leia de cada país da região região (em especial, Brasil e Argentina), o que nos impediu de trazer o evento "Grand Extravaganza" para cá.   Lamentamos profundamente a não-participação da região nas premiações da Intel e lembramos que o evento no jogo é válido para todos os jogadores. Ressalto que continuaremos a trabalhar para conseguir todas as autorizações necessárias para trazer não só eventos globais como locais para a região.

Gnomon: Hey everyone,   I just wanted to touch base and let you know that I've been working to compile and summarize all of your feedback from 1.0 (and the recent events) to get to our teams. Because of this, I haven't been able to talk much with all of you. Rest assured that I'll be able to have conversations with you in the very near future.    Thanks for your patience!  

MA77WoT: Estamos verificando certinho esta informação.

Não acredito que teremos ela hoje, pois nosso HQ já está fechado desde de cedo pelo horário. 

Recomendo que joguem normalmente o evento.

Felipe6666Original:
Es un problema del que estamos al tanto desde hace tiempo y sabemos que es muy molesto para todos los jugadores. Nuestros desarrolladores siguen trabajando en ello para encontrar una solución definitiva.
 

Felipe6666Original:
Es por una cuestión de velocidad de carga. Para la configuración Ultra, se recomienda una SSD para que no haya problemas de ese tipo.
 

Felipe6666Original:
Sí, estoy al tanto de la situación y es por ello que intentaré pedir información al respecto.   ¡Saludos!

Gnomon: Hey Tankers,   With the release of 1.0, we put together a quick FAQ! I'd also like to give a shout-out to Duke_Nuke_Em_Cammando for helping out with the translation!      As you know, today is the big day. The long-awaited World of Tanks Update 1.0 is here! Leaving aside such an announcement, it is so important that the patch itself addresses the issues of our players. That is why we have prepared a small FAQ that includes, above all, possible doubts with the technical aspects of the game. So go there!

Can I play World of Tanks with the old graphics?

- Unfortunately not. Starting today, we will no longer support the two graphics variants (SD and HD).

My PC can barely process the current graphics, does that mean I cannot play World of Tanks anymore?

- During the development of the new graphics engine (Core), we take special precautions for those players who have equipment a bit outdated. That's why we've optimized everything so they can continue playing with their current equipment without the need to invest money in new configurations and still see the improvement in the gaming experience.

In fact, the minimum requirements for playing World of Tanks will remain the same as ever, nothing has changed with Update 1.0. Here's a reminder of what these requirements are: Operating System: Windows XP / Vista / 7/10/10 Processor (CPU): At least two CPUs that support SSE2 Memory (RAM): 1.5 GB for Windows XP; 2 GB for Windows Vista / 7/10/10 Video card: GeForce 6800 / ATI HD X2400 XT with 256 MB of RAM and compatible with DirectX 9.0c Soundcard: DirectX 9.0c compatible Free hard disk space (HDD): 16 GB
And what are the recommended requirements? What if I want to play with the Ultra setting? What equipment do I need?

- The recommended requirements for playing World of Tanks as of now are: Operating System: Windows 7 (64-bit) Processor (CPU): Intel Core i3 Memory (RAM): 4 GB Video Card: GeForce GTX 660 Disc type: HDD (SSD) Resolution: 1920 * 1080
- And the requirements to play World of Tanks on Ultra are: Operating System:: Windows 7/10 (64-bit) Processor (CPU): Intel Core i5 Memory (RAM): 8GB / 16GB Video Card: GeForce GTX 1050ti (4GB) Disc type: HDD (SSD) Resolution: 1920 * 1080
Can I run the game on Linux or MacOS?

- No, the game will not support these operating systems.

What will happen to maps that were not included in Update 1.0?

- We will work on them for the rest of the year so they gradually reintroduce the game into HD quality.

Keep in mind that this refers only to the maps that were available until yesterday in the game. Maps that have been removed in previous updates will be reevaluated.   Will there be support for DirectX 12?   - No   Why is the premium garage almost equal to the standard?   - We're still working on the premium version of Garage.   And that is all! If you have more questions, feel free to leave your questions below in the comments.   Hope you all have a great day/night! 

Lert: i5 4590 with GTX960 here, went from ~90 fps on absolute maximum @1080p to ~30 fps at absolute maximum @1080p. Stil playable. I can easily squeeze more FPS out if I drop quality.

Felipe6666Original: ¡Hola a todos!   Por favor, utilicen este thread para publicar sus opiniones sobre la Actualización 1.0. Si tienen dudas de algún tipo sobre el parche, por favor, no olviden revisar nuestro FAQ.   Para más información, no olviden leer nuestro artículo en el portal.   ¡Saludos!

Gnomon:  
The full patch notes are just a click away: Update 1.0 Is Here Let us know what you think! 

Gnomon: Hey Tankers, Update 1.0 is now live!  Here is a link to the complete article: Update 1.0 Is Here! Main Changes:The Core graphics engine includes the following features:Total improvement of the image quality at any graphics settings. Complete rework and optimization of the lighting. Added the system of Global Illumination. All structures have been reworked to the new graphics quality. Terrain, water, and foliage have been reworked into the new graphics quality. High-resolution textures have been applied to all objects. Object destruction has been reworked using the Havok® Destruction technology (displayed only at the following graphics settings: High, Maximum, and Ultra). Added the vehicle wetting effects when driving in water (and the drying effect), as well as dirtying and dusting effects. Improved display of the vehicle suspension when driving over various obstacles. Reworked the map outland (area beyond the map border): now game locations visually feel vast and unlimited. At the same time, the map borders remain unchanged. Enabled the terrain tessellation function (partially at the maximum graphics settings and to the full extent at the Ultra graphics settings). Reworked the track effects on various surfaces. Added realistic effects of drifting. Added the procedural generation of grass and bushes, which decreases the load on the PC. Now all foliage reacts to the actions of the player's vehicle: grass and foliage are shaken by shots and made flat by vehicle tracks, etc. This feature will not affect vehicle concealment, since the animation is displayed only on your computer. Implemented a new water processing system with geometrical waves (tessellation) and SSR (Screen Space Reflection) for modelling reflections on water. Implemented a realistic model of water behavior: when passing water obstacles, the vehicle pushes water forward thus creating a wave; when a shell hits water surface, it creates realistic circles on the water, etc. Each map has received a completely reworked skybox with cloud animation. Full support of the DirectX® 11 functionality (tessellation, etc.). Significant optimization of performance and memory consumption. Improved display of the hit decals. Smokes and various effects now cast shadows. MapsList of maps that have been reworked to HD after transferring to the Core graphics engine:Abbey Paris Mines Cliff Murovanka Malinovka Prokhorovka Steppes Sand River Himmelsdorf Lakeville Ruinberg Ensk Live Oaks Siegfried Line Mannerheim Line (former Arctic Region) El Halluf Airfield Mountain Pass Karelia Redshire Fjords Tundra Overlord Serene Coast Erlenberg Westfield Fisherman's Bay Nebelburg Added the new winter map, "Glacier". Changes to the Graphics and EffectsThe new water has been added to all maps; now it varies: calm lakes, swift rivers, sea surf, etc. Added new effects on all maps: fires, waterfalls, burning grass, sand blown by wind, artillery strike, bees, butterflies, etc. Added realistic shell tracers. Reworked all vehicle effects: moving, exhaust gas, vehicles set on fire, ammo rack detonation. Completely reworked the effect of shells hitting various terrain types: added more details, scattered sparkles, and shards. The track effects became more realistic; added realistic effects of drifting. Reworked and added realistic decals (on vehicles) of shell hits. Now, the decals look more realistic with the Physically Based Shading (PBS) technology. Thus, the metal material and pattern look properly. Added the "effect of hot air" to all exhaust gases, explosions, shots, and fires. The effect will also be displayed on the hot desert maps along the horizon. Now, vehicles realistically interact with water: all water effects (driving across water, hits, etc.) now have water deformation, foam, and shock waves. Deformation of grass and bushes: vehicle tracks flatten the grass, and the shock wave of shots and explosions realistically interact with grass and bushes. The smoke and dust cast shadows. Reworked all shards of the destruction effects: they look more realistic and detailed thanks to proper lighting and normal maps. New GarageThe new Garage features the new graphics technologies of Core. Added animated characters to the Garage. New camera in the Garage: The distance of zooming in and out depends on the selected vehicle. Changed the distance the camera passes when zooming in/out (when scrolling). Added the parallax effect upon camera rotation. The effect can be disabled in the General tab of the Game Settings. If the player performs no actions in the Garage, the camera starts rotating around the selected vehicle. The option can be configured or disabled in the General tab of the Game Settings. A promotion vehicle (displayed on the background behind the selected vehicle) will be displayed in the Garage. Players can hover the mouse over the vehicle and click it to move the camera to this vehicle. The vehicle technical characteristics and crew members are displayed in the vehicle preview window. Besides, players will be able to click the Purchase button to go to the vehicle purchase page in the Premium Shop. OptimizationsOptimized game performance, memory consumption, GPU and CPU load. Performed a considerable amount of work to eliminate freezing in battle. Removed the speed indicator (that was quite resource consuming) from the damage panel. Color AdjustmentAdded the Color Adjustment option (Graphics -> Color Adjustment section).  The option allows setting saturation, brightness, and contrast, or you can use the preset filters. Color Adjustment can be performed both in the Garage and in battle. All changes will be applied immediately. For convenience, the Color Adjustment hint will be displayed to players in several first battles.  MusicEach map will receive its own soundtrack that will include the following: Main theme for the loading screen that is played while loading a battle and during countdown 2 interactive battle-related tracks based on the main theme that can be played almost infinitely without repeating 3 ending themes for the battle results: victories, draws, and defeats. These soundtrack sets are unique for each map in the game. The new Garage sounds including the music theme played at the battle queue screen have been added. The music and visuals of the login screen have been reworked. Ambient SoundsCompletely reworked the ambient sounds of each map. The ambient sounds are rich and natural depending on the map region. Sounds of the player's vehicle (shots, explosions, sound of tracks, etc.) now change and depend on the sub-location of the combat action. The same sound will sound differently in mountains, forest, village, urban area, open field, etc. The entire sound environment has also been designed for the 5.1 and 7.1 multichannel systems. Reworked almost all sounds of destructible objects after the release of the new destruction physics. Reworked the shell sounds. Each of the four shell types will differ both visually and in sound, which will provide more information to players. Notification in BattleAdded new notifications (displayed when shooting at enemy vehicles) for Random Battles and Bootcamp. They include:notifications about causing damage to an enemy vehicle notifications about ricochets and damage blocked by armor notifications about critical hits Proving Ground and BootcampThe Proving Ground mode will be disabled. Bootcamp remains available to players. Bootcamp mission 2 and 5 have been made easier. Bootcamp has been completely reworked into HD. The previous Bootcamp Garage has been replaced with a new one. Battle loading screens have been reworked. Made minor changes to the Bootcamp difficulty. Improved behavior of AI-driven vehicles. Changes to the technical characteristics of the following vehiclesObject 257 (U.S.S.R): added the following equipment: Enhanced Torsion Bars 5+ t Class. Added the attributes of the new nation (Italy). Added the following vehicle for testing by Supertest players: Progetto M35 mod 46 ImprovementsIn case of insufficient amount of Bonds, the cost of the Improved equipment is not red, if similar standard equipment has already been mounted. Fixed the rare issue when allied/enemy vehicles were not displayed within the range of direct view. Fixed the issue that prevented players from retraining the crew between Premium vehicles. Now players can view the crew member's Personal File, when the vehicle is in battle. Fixed the issue when the self-destruction timer disappeared after overturning in battle. Fixed the issue when filters applied in the Depot were removed after going to the Garage. Fixed the issue when the Battle Results music theme was played during the loading screen. Fixed the issue when the base capture points were not displayed in the Battle Results. Fixed the issue when the concealment bonus of the WG Fest and New Year style and camouflage was not displayed in the Exterior interface. Fixed the issue when the notification about active discounts on equipment demounting was not displayed in the equipment description tooltip. Fixed the automatic transformation of link parts to emotion icons in the Chat. Fixed the issue when information about added days of Premium Account time was displayed with the icon of gold. Fixed the issue when the team list in the Stronghold mode was not updated upon clicking the Update button. Fixed the issue that allowed switching the nations in the Tech Tree, when completing the Bootcamp. Fixed the issue of the missing discount tooltip when purchasing Premium Account time. Removed camouflage (from some tank destroyers) that cannot be removed by players upon selecting another camouflage pattern. Fixed the timer of crew recovery for gold. Fixed the issue when all crew-related interactions in the Barracks and in vehicles were locked, if at least one vehicle was in battle. Added the % symbol (that informs about discounts) to the minimalistic vehicle panel (vehicle panel). Fixed the issue of double discount indication, if the sold item has a double cost (in gold and credits). Fixed the issue that kept Platoon members from selecting a vehicle, if the Platoon commander had confirmed readiness. Improved the description of the Personal Mission, SPG-6. Fixed the brightness of camouflage on some vehicles.  

Gnomon: Just thought I'd stop by and say hi from Texas! I'm Gnomon, one of your Community Coordinators!    I'm looking forward to getting to know all of you here    Also, Cabbage's hat is pretty amazing and I'm a bit jealous of it. 

Saffr0n: Welcome to Update 1.0!   Let us know if you're encountering bugs or any other issues that haven't been mentioned below. Patch details and update notes can be found here. Take some time and read our in-depth guide to Adjusting Graphics Manually to maximize your experience. Remove the auto-detect tooltip by going through each highlighted graphic preset or by playing a defined number of battles (tl:dr - about 10).    Let's Battle!   Known Issues Hit decals are displayed improperly sometimes. Loading of some maps takes longer than expected. Some visual issues when "rewinding" a replay. Vehicle loading before the battle countdown may take much time. Issues related to object details occur at the Minimum and Low graphics quality when rotating the camera. Some large structures may disappear on the Ruinberg map at the Minimum graphics quality. Some issues related to displaying of shadows that large objects cast. Gamma Settings do not work properly on some computers at the Standard graphics. Jerking tracks when driving over obstacles. The camera can get inside some objects in the postmortem mode. When setting FoV to 120°, vehicle LoDs are switched in the Garage. The volume of the Airstrike sounds does not depend on the actual distance to the player's vehicle. Half-dynamic shadows keep being displayed after disabling grass. A black screen is displayed when loading to a battle if the player's vehicle is not completely loaded in the Garage after leaving a training room. Some objects do not get destroyed properly according to the Havok technology when hit with an armor-piercing shell. When watching a battle replay, some shell tracers are displayed improperly. Improper display of the terrain under vehicle tracks. Strong flickering of the terrain and sun reflection in puddles at the High and Maximum graphics quality. Tracks feature poor details at the Medium graphics quality. The colors of the penetration indicator are sometimes wrong. The red (green) outline is displayed when aiming at a point beyond the vehicle silhouette. The camera can get inside some vehicles. The music of the Battle Results is played louder when switching to the Research window. After repairing a track in battle, the stun indicator is reset and the countdown starts anew. Concealment of a vehicle with unique Camouflage is displayed without the bonus to Camouflage in the Garage; however, the effect of Camouflage is actually active. An enemy vehicle overturned by the player will not count towards the total number of vehicles destroyed by the player. A vehicle with mounted standard and Improved equipment cannot be sold. The recruiter's Recruiting Office does not display the recruits and reservists that they invited if the recruiter's account is restored to a state, preceding the moment when recruits accepted the invitation. Mismatch in the descriptions of the Personal Missions (for Platoons) in battle (upon pressing TAB), Battle Results, and congratulation window. The Recruit button is displayed in the congratulation window, provided that the female crew member has already been recruited. The notification about base capture is displayed before the required number of capture points is accumulated. The order of events for received damage is sometimes mixed up in the damage log. The text of Mission conditions is not displayed in the congratulation window, provided that the required vehicle type is specified in the Mission conditions. The client cannot be maximized in the full-screen mode, provided that the player is having a Skype call. Applying exterior elements results in removing a Preset Style. In some cases, when moving the mouse cursor fast around a vehicle, the camera can suddenly change its location (when in the Trajectory Aim).
