WOT will not start anymore XXX?

TheBlakGuy's Photo TheBlakGuy Sep 09 2012

Plan and simple...WOT has been working fine since I got my laptop back from repairs.  Despite some crazy unusal ping spikes, I starts normally.  But today it will not launch at all.  You click the icon, and the first window opens when you press play.  I pressed play and the white window came up, and then closed.  Thats was happens everytime now.

Ok this is what you do, try going on you :C or internal hard drive, then click program files, then Games,or just straight to WoT, and then go down look for the launcher as a APPLICATION file and open that up. It should work. Then I think you can copy that file to your desktop and erase your old one.

Well then, the best thing to do would to be to submit a ticket, and maybe uninstall the game and install it again. Good Luck.

Try running it as an administrator, right click/run as admin.. Also make sure your firewall and AV is allowing the game to connect to the server.

The easiest way without all the doctoring files and changing this setting or that setting is this..

UNINSTALL then RE-install
