Link on message: #10979405
dance210: It can be very discouraging to have an amazing game that ends in a
loss or a draw. Most of the time for me, it's more important
how I did than how the battle ended. I've had some amazing games
that were a loss and I felt great after it was over. I've also had
some games that we won where I did absolutely nothing - I generally
find those games more discouraging. My best advice
after the battle is over is to evaluate how you did. If you had an
awesome game that you didn't win, try to shake it off. You can't
always carry your team to victory, but you can be proud of the work
you put in. Good luck!

Quemapueblos: That's a great GIF and I must third platoons. It really helps
when you can coordinate with a few other tankers to root out tank
is hard positions. Ask questions of better players is also key. I
learned most of the good tips and tricks from battle buddies with
way more experience. Of course, I don't consider myself
a great tanker. It took me at least 2,000 to realize I
shouldn't be in the wide open field most of the time...

Link on message: #10976981
Quemapueblos: Heyo, I know how frustrating that can be! Is it occurring only when
a system resource, like ram or CPU usage, is maxed? Here's a few
suggestions: Do you have a electrical power meter? If so try
checking the output pins on your power supply to see if that
voltage is sufficient Check wall power to sufficient and wired
correctly with a wall outlet tester Use one of the many Temp,
CPU, GPU, or memory load monitoring tools out there - check
if anything is getting pinned to the max constantly when the issue
starts. if there are any that are stuck to max, that's
probably part of the issue Check voltages for memory and CPU are
correct in your Bios - I had some ram run fine below min voltage
spec before which really confused me because all the other sticks
failed, RMA the "faulty" ones just to realized I needed
a small bump to the correct voltages and fixed all my crashes
Was it a fresh install or copied from an old drive? If not, try a
clean install Check for Mobo drivers, there could be a separate
install for some of the updated drivers

XMPPCS this morning - which affects in-game chat. There is a
possibility that this maintenance has affected the friends list,
temporarily removing it. I'm going to keep an eye on it on my end

it doesn't, once I get into the office I will escalate it further.

send in a support ticket and get the folks who really know
they are talking about but here are my few suggestions to check as
a non support guy: Check if you are running the Exe in admin
mode Check if your firewall and anti-virus setting changed and add
both WorldOfTanks.exe and WOTLauncher.exe Check Router
settings - maybe some settings in your router was reset or changes
You may have to open some ports in order for the games to properly
function All destination UDP ports: 20013, 20014, 20018,
32801-32825 TCP game ports: 80, 443, 1080, 3128, 8080, 8081, 8088,
8888, 53, 20000-25000, 32801, and 32803 UDP voice chat ports:
12000-29999, 5060, 5062, 3478, 3479 Run ping plotter to see where the connect is
failing There is a support article on the topic that has more details.
