I did a full reinstall, same issue. (So I had nothing in my res_mods folder to start with anyways).

I was just wondering, what OS are people who have this issue using? I have a hunch my problem is with Vista. Even if it isn't vista, I think it's client-side, so any dev or other knowledgeable person could help. Thanks in advance!


PS (5:22 PM) I did a google search and found this:http://answers.micro...ae-b8aa85e295dc
I am currently running it, I will update when I get results. I don't know if it will work, but for somebody it might. At least try.

Followed the instructions from the link....no joy.

[Jedit]

special note, you MUST have a 0.7.4 folder in res_mods ro game will not start, even if folder is empty

Running 7.3 Windows Vista 32, I logged into WOT 7.3 as normal and it automatically tried to update to 7.4.  Nothing happened for more than an hour.   I clicked again on my icon to start the game launcher again.  Got a message that there was already another game loading.  Nothing happened so this time I rebooted my computer.  Clicked on the game launcher icon and nothing happened.  Then I went to the WOT website North American and manually downloaded the 7.4 update full load game, while I uninstalled the 7.3 game.  Everything looked ok and when finished it was suppose to launch the game.  I clicked OK but Nothing happened.  So, finally...I clicked on the desktop icon again and I get a window popup "Warning application world of tanks has started" option to click OK which I did.

Windows Task Manager shows in processes WOTlauncher.exe is running but nothing is happening yet.  I suggest it is in the WOT launcher programming line that isn't working right.  7.4 downloaded OK and installed OK from the website.  It just won't launch the game now.  Please advise.

Same for me.  Was playing earlier for a few hours with no problems.  Came back tonight, first battle wen't black and now I can do anything even after restarting.

Downloaded the 7.4 from website and installed new since the game didn't start after update and exactly the same happens. Doesn't start again.
Screen goes black, than white with showing the mouse cursor something is loading, than goes black and back to desktop.
Very nice.....

Same for me, running vista, hmm strange that it would just be a vista problem.

These are not the same issues.
