My Computer is Acting Up......Can I Save W...

mbmmike's Photo mbmmike Nov 16 2012

I have been playing WOT on my laptop computer about a month. My laptop is acting up and I am afraid it may die. Can I download WOT to my desktop computer to save my current progress in WOT ???

Are you trolling?  If not, don't worry as all your data is stored online.  Just re-download the game client.

Your progress is stored on the server, not locally. You won't lose anything.

you can use any number of different computers with your account.


Just use the same email and password.

saved on server AND pretty sure it still installs on a flash drive so you can easily move it from spot to spot .

use a service like mozy.com to backup and remember to select to save all  your replays and downloaded software . you will need to Re instal it all on the new machine. I wish I had saved all my preferences and and ratings for songs etc.

The only thing you may need to move are installed mods if you use any.

just had to re-install everything - replays are not saved on the server but local.

the biggest issue I had was also haveing to remember all my browser stored passwords, so back up your browsers preferences often or save them somehow.

You don't need to redownload the client.

Just copy the folder C:\Games\World of Tanks
(or where you have WoT installed)
to any removable device of your choice (requires 8+ GB).
Note that Primary/Reserve tank order preferences are not stored server sided.

This. No need to download or reinstall the client. Just copy-paste your updated game client and you're ready to go on your new comp.
