Overlord: Thanks everybody.
We have managed to locate the issue. It is related to timezones, users from UTC-X timezones (ie, from NA mostly) are unable to use invite system.
We are working on the hotfix/patch that is supposed to fix the problem.
TheJinkster was right.

Link on message: #312882


ARGO: Posts get moved for many reasons "all of which are explained in
forum rules and Where do I post threads" Now Moderators are not
only here to keep the peace but also to keep the forums clean and
tidy meaning we move things around when needed to get them into the
right place or clean up double posts. If you ever have a question
regarding a post you can always PM a Mod.

ARGO: I noticed the balancing system seems a lot better. I went in with
my VK3601H or Sherman and I didn't see anything I could not hurt. I
tried this for a few hours and I have to say in my opinion,
Balancing is much better.

normally have instantly said a remote controlled tank, this time I
said a sweater with a picture of my favourite tank on it -how sad
is that?

Tanitha: From your other posts. I have to ask..
Did the sweater with a picture of your favorite tanks have a slogan saying.
"Dont hump my tank, I'm armed with fraps!"

Tanitha: I dont get it..
Lights were made harder to spot.
All tanks were made easier to spot when they fire.
All heavies were made easier to spot all the time +25%
So why cant you spot as well as before the patch?
Why cant you use a repair kit?
And how can you say a leo cost you 3 mil?
If you paid 3 mil for a leo, want to buy another one? I'll sell you one for 2.5 mil..

And I'm talking about TEAM balance. I know a lot of players dont like going up against tanks that are a higher tier than them. But that's a different topic to team balance.

"The setup files are corrupted. Please obtain a new copy of the program"
Tanitha: Hi, im a mod, im not support (you can email them but the reply will
probably take a day or so atm) and im not a dev or programmer... So
the help i can issue is very limited.
I have seen other posts about this topic, with Windows 7 64 bit, and there is a lot of claims that the launcher doesnt work with windows 7 and 64 bit. However there is a lot of people who run that and it works. Same as it worked for me..
So you downloaded this patch?
http://cdn1.worldoft...7_eng_patch.exe
Its meant to be 566 megs, how big is yours? did it stop 1/2 way through the download? so its not complete?
Did you try the launcher first? and it crashed while updating so you have some corrupt wot files now? so the downloaded patch over the top no longer works due to corrupted wot files?
Sounds like a uninstall and reinstall would be needed then.
If you cant fix your problem quickly, and emailing support takes a while during this busy period.
Maybe a uninstall and a full install would be a lot easier and quicker.
The full 1.7gig version is here.
http://cdn1.worldoft...7_eng_setup.exe
It might take you a hour or two to download, but that might be day+ quicker than a email to support.
Sorry ive probably not been much help. Regards..

Tanitha: You could try downloading the patch from the torrent, its very
quick and didn't take me long to download.
Move it to the updates directory in the game directory. Then run the client/launcher
You can also check to make sure you are running the launcher as admin.

Archives\Junkyard\the new chat ban
Link on message: #310982
LostSpider, on 24 December 2010 - 01:48 AM, said: I just surprised about how heavy handed the new chat ban is. It
does affect not just the "chat" but also forbides the discussion
about it in the forum. That is how much the developers are willing
to lisen to testers.
Since this thread will be closed inmediatly (an I will be banned for writing this), at least I'll throw a question, who is charge of the chat ban? an ex-KGB that misses his job suppresion freedom of expresion in the former URSS?
Did I say former URSS, russia today is not too different, just watch what happen to media that is critical to putin, keep the spirit.

Tanitha: Devs want to know about problems with moderators, thats why the
rules state Email support@ .. support is in their main wot building
and handles these issues..
There is little point you complaining about mods to the players, or to the mods that control the forums. Neither can do anything to resolve your issue. Support can.
Thats why the rule is..... contact support.
Also mods have nothing to do with Russia. mods are employed from around the world.. they dont work from the main WOT building. And even if they did, the WOT building isn't in Russia.
Of course im going to close this immediately and issue a ban, because that's my job and what Ive been asked to do. If I'm asked to do a job and I dont do it, then I wouldn't be a mod for long...
Closing the thread. 7 days RO "read only" ban placed for.. lots of reasons.. Disputing mod bans within the forums being the main one.

Link on message: #309926
ARGO: I cannot tell you with all honesty who would win but I can tell you
that whoever did win would most likely be immediately attacked by
one or more other countries because I do not think the world
community "especially at that time period" would ever allow that
big of a military monopoly in the Eurasion area to grow any bigger
it would be to much of a global threat.

Archives\Beta\Eliminate Auto Aim From The Game
Link on message: #309841
Boots, on 21 December 2010 - 08:50 PM, said: I would like to see auto aim eliminated from the game all together.
You want to add an instant buff to light and low tier mediums then
eliminate autoaim, just curious if others would like to see it
eliminated all together or if you would like to see it kept in game
for release.

Link on message: #309841

ARGO: Remove? Why?
Getting in the habit of removing parts of the game is not always a good approach. When you start removing things from the game, it changes other aspects of the game and sometimes they don't turn out well and not to mention takes away from the gamplay we are all used to. The Developers have enough on their plates right now and I for one do not want to add to their workload.
So to put it short and sweet auto aim is an option you can turn on and off, If you don't use it, simply leave it off.

Overlord: Voice chat is avialable only for companies, platoons and in
training battles.
In order to use voice chat, enable it in game settings (Settings/Game/Voice chat), marking the respective checkbox. Press and hold Q button to activate voice transmit mode. The push to talk button can be reassigned in game settings.
If the voice chat doesn't work even when enabled, try disable/enable it once again and restart the game.
If it doesn't help, try temporarily disabling your firewall.
If it doesn't fix the problem, open the following ports in your firewall:
- ingoing UDP ports 5060, 5062, 3478.
- outgoing TCP ports 80 и 443.
- all UDP destination ports from 12000 to 17000.
Changed path for preferences.xml. Now:
