Subject: Controls Don't work after switching windows
Link on message: #1257129
Link on message: #1257129
Hypnotik: This isn't a huge bug, since there's a workaround, but something
that should be fixed nonetheless.
Description
When playing in windowed mode, if the user switches windows while the game is loading (to Firefox for example), and back to the game after it has loaded, no controls will work.
Reproduce
1. Play in Window Mode
2. While map loads, have another window active.
3. When countdown ends, switch back to WoT.
4. The game will now be stuck in cursor mode (arrow is visible) as if player were holding [Ctrl].
Workaround
Bring up text chat [Enter] type nothing, and hit [Enter] again to clear chat mode. The game will be back to normal.
As I said, it's nothing major, just an annoyance that shouldn't be there.

Link on message: #1255120

Tanitha: The spamming doesn't really bother me or the mods. It can be easily
cleaned up.
The problem is, its also a scam, so it wouldn't be nice if someone actually followed the links and lost money.
For that reason, it would be good if it could be prevented.

with active ingame accounts? I know this may not be popular with

Maybe make it so once you break 50 games or something. I dont know,
just dont hate on me

Link on message: #1255105


Tanitha: Definitely a good idea IMO.
My current suggestion was...
Posting to the forums would require 20 games to all sections except one specifically setup for new players who were having trouble accessing the game, downloading, etc..
I'll bring it up with the developers/programmers and see what can be done there.

WildBill813, on Dec 31 2011 - 07:03, said: I noticed when browsing my .wotreplay files that the file size has
gone from about 500KB to around 2MB.
The transition was between 12/21 and 12/28, which I believes coincides with the 7.1.2 test.
If this is by design, what does the extra size provide?
The file size for my current 7.0 files is also around 500KB.

Tanitha: Thanks for that info WildBill813
I hadn't noticed the size increase, but the replay system was introduced with a lot of extra planned features to be added soon. So one would assume the increased size would be in relation to that.

Tanitha: 1 meg of ram will definitely limit your online gaming.
I would recommend running a game benchmarking software though, like the one that is built into newer versions of windows.
This will tell you your gaming capabilities fir each of the main parts if your computer, Ram, hard drive, CPU etc.
Then you can work out the speeds of each parts, and a overall speed.
The machine will only be as quick as its slowest part.

Link on message: #1251616

Tanitha: Hi..
Without enough ram, the computer uses the harddrive for ram which is 1000s of times slower.
Swapping data back and forth from the hard drive will make the game take a minute or a few to load into the battle.

GeneralDirection: We're still discussing this at this time. There's a possibility the
state of the global map will be reset once it's a truly global map,
simply due to the fact that prime times on the map will likely be
altered dramatically. Europe, for example, will have its prime
times shifted so that they're more suited to European players.
