Sand river is the only map where i have frequent desktop crashes and it is only on this map since 8.0 update , all other map's are just fine, wondering if anyone else has this issue for this map.

I have windows 7 64 bit , 4 GB ram and a asus geforce 250 GTX graphic card with the latest driver, any idea's on why only sand river map crashes to desktop much appreciated.

hmm i had that happen a couple times on this map as well hope they can fix it ....was buzzing along in a spotter and poof crash ... came back to find myself in a river "alive" lol i got lucky ...

this problem has give me a bsod twice and only on sand river

I also have this problem. Almost like clockwork this map (and only this map) will cause a crash to desktop. It's always fun to see where my tank ends up before being destroyed...  : /

Since 8.1 update i now get the same thing happen on Karelia map, from south end going into valley and boom desktop crash, come back to find a smouldering wreck by the rocks, strange as now sand river since the 8.1 update has no longer crashed me to desktop as yet. will update if it does.

What does you python log file say?

Could be something wrong with the WoT data, your harddrive, some driver or software, lots of possibilites. Some more information would be nice:

What exactly happens in game before and during the crash. Does it happen randomly, does the screen turn black or does the game just close?
Can you post a dxdiag?
Also look in C:\Games\World_of_Tanks for python.log, change the format to txt, and upload it here as well.
Do you have any security software installed, if so what?

Some things you can try in the meantime:

If your harddrive is NOT A SSD, analyze and defragment it if necessary.
Check your harddrive using manufacture utilities or Windows scan disk, instructions here.
Run WOTLauncher.exe with the -integrity switch, which will check your game files and reinstall the bad bits automagically. Just right-click on the launcher, go to create shortcut. Right-click on the shortcut, go to properties, then in the target box add " -integrity" without quotes to the end of the text in that box, note the space in between. Should look like this:

I am getting consistent crashes on EVERY map, every game. Can't play at all anymore since 8.1
I have logged a ticket and followed all instructions but...no joy.
I might try that integrity mode.

I tried the -integrity but I got this error message: The name 'C:\Games\World_of_Tanks\WOTLauncher.exe-integrity' specified in the Target box is not valid. Make sure the path and file name are correct.

I was in my T110E5 on Karelia traveling just through J5 to J6 and instant crash to desktop it happened just now, thats 2 times today in exactly the same spot, come back to a dead tank....i checked Python ( and BTW thanks for that ) not sure what im looking for as im not much good with scripts and such but here is some of what it said copied and pasted as follows :

Sry for the long data but was not sure which part to add as i dont understand it at all, the strange thing is it seems to be the same spot on the map from south side travelling north through J5-J6 , i have no problems on any other map just this one ( Karelia ) was sand river but no crashes to desktop as yet since 8.1

Ok, I forgot the gap. Ran the  -integrity launcher and actually got through a game. Still a couple of mini freezes but I at least did some damage and got killed. Next trial underway.

Nope, it crashed again..."Display driver stopped responding and has recovered"
I might need to look for a different game

Sounds like a TDR error or something else wrong with your video card causing the problem. The dxdiag.txt file would be helpful. Check the reliability monitor or event viewer for the nVidia related crash and copy/paste the data here. That data should tell us a bit more about why it crashed or what caused it.

Few things to try:

Download GPU-Z or MSI Afterburner and check the temperature of your GPU while you play.
Go to nVidia's website and download the latest driver for your card and do a clean installation.

Also, stop posting in every single crash thread. You're confusing the heck out of me and probably anyone else that reads these threads in the future.

Make your own thread.

Will check it out, and thanks for all the help X32Wright

Just had Sand River map crash to desktop while moving python has this error as follows:



[ERROR] (scripts/client/account_helpers/CustomFilesCache.py, 210): Client couldn't read file. (EOFError(), 'NB2HI4B2F4XWGZJOO5XXE3DEN5THIYLONNZS4Y3PNUXWIY3PNZ2C6Y3MMFXHGL3FNVRGYZLNOMXTCMBQGAYDAMJRHAZS6ZLNMJWGK3K7GY2HQNRUL52GC3TLFZYG4ZY=')

Download the full client using Jdownloader to avoid errors, defragment your HD and re-install the game.

You're going to keep going in circles if you don't post the data I asked for, but GL bud.

EOFErrors and UnpicklingError have nothing to do with why the game crashed, if you see "unhandled (exception, error, etc.)", that would be an indication of why the game crashed. Because it's not logged in the python file, the cause of your crashes is unlikely to be WoT itself.

keep at it. you're not the only one with a crashing problem. i've been in a support ticket battle for 2 weeks now and the best help i got was 'update windows', 'update nvidia driver' and 'install WoT fresh'.

did all that and still crashed on sand river and in sniper mode. i am now sending pics of the crashes and errors to the WoT ticket hoping for some real help from support.
