Hey Tankers,

We have created an Update 1.0 Info Hub that will be updated with all related content as we move towards the final release - check out links to the new map-focused soundtrack, updates on how old maps will be fundamentally changed, and new trailers for 1.0 overhaul.

See you on the battlefield!

hi,

looking good, any way we could get a Q and A with the Dev Team? to ask the hard questions as this is a lot of changes in one update and lack of info creates fear.

[Devildog8]

Nice thanks cabbage

[__WarChild__]

Thanks Cabbage.  Glad to see you're still with us!

Would be best to compile a list of questions for the devs prior to trying to secure any kind of Q&A, especially as translations are largely needed. 

 

Not sure what fears come up though, as something like this is a good sign for a games longevity as no company invests in this scale for a short life game.

The graphical transition is my fear.   Right now I can play on maxed out improved graphics with over 60 fps.  On the 1.0 Test Server I have to play on bare minimum standard graphics, with literally every setting at the bottom, and I am only getting 20 fps.  So I want to know if they are still working out the kinks or if they think this thing is ready to go...

There must be some issue with your PC. I can get around 60 fps on max right now, and on 1.0 I was ranging from 45 to 60 fps on Ultra. Everyone I talked to either got around the same performance, or even got a better performance, I was the only case that experienced a lower performance (albeit at a higher graphics preset)

I might be a little blind, because I'm not seeing

Where is the link to download and play the 1.0 test server?

Where is the link to WoT Encore?

Shouldn't they be included in the list of related content?

Everything I have heard is that people can push their graphics higher and get better FPS. So if your having that much of an issue it might be something wrong with your computer as you sound like an outlier and thus not a scenario that would be worked on by WG. So what your seeing on Test unless you doing something wrong is probably what will happen on Live. Remember if its an issue that very few people are reporting it won't be fixed.

The problem is with ATI/AMD videocard's as a whole. Some testing I posted on the beta performance thread. WG you NEED to fix the performance issues with the new engine on AMD video cards before you release this. From what I've seen so far the problem is in your Tesselation and Post Effects Processing.

So the new graphics engine is optimized for Nvidia,

NOT AMD

 

R9 280x = 15-50fps (huge dips)

R9 380x = 35-55fps (small dips)

RX 580 = 50-90fps (huge dips)

Vega 56 = 40-130fps (MASSIVE dips, had to test it 10 times, same everytime)

 

GTX 1080ti = 130-150fps (smooth)

GTX 980ti = 110-125fps (smooth)

GTX 780ti = 60-80fps (smooth)

 

So good luck AMD users...

 

Xeon X6570 (6 core 12 thread 2.93/3.33 turbo), 12GB Ram (DDR3 3x4gb kingston)

 

Even on an old 3gb GTX 580 can push 60fps smoothly, yet a RX 5** series or Vega card is jittery and laggy as crap.

What im seeing is Nvidia rules and Radeon sucks... nah just kidding

I'm using the latest game ready drivers (I have an Nvidia), and the card is still delivering max performance on the released client.   And I am getting excellent performance out of the Encore test.  

 

So the possibility that this is on my end is remote.  Its something in the test client itself that is slowing me down.  I'll report it, but I doubt anything will come of the report.   My experience with WG Support system has never been positive.

[VariaVespasa]

My God its beautiful!      And my 2gig GTX 960 runs it on ultra just fine.   

Question- I'm probably being blind but can someone point me to a schedule for when the test server will be up on any given day?

didn't know it was still broken. mine is working fine

[warkitty666]

Love the update, graphics are great, gameplay is very smooth. Two concerns though..first, why did I apparently get funneled into the EU server? secondly, in the new camp that took the place of the garage the grass is blue for some reason..and throughout the game shell craters and grooves in dirt roads are black..would appreciate it if you could tell me possible reason why.Thnx

there's isn't an EU, NA, RU, SEA test server, everyone shares the same (common) server based in EU.... although it can seem like an RU server given that 90%+ on it are from RU, but that's just down to sheer size of the RU player base.

 

Test server updated later today, with various fixes...and still some problems to fix.

[ATXZJ]

never mind, just saw server was closed

  .( Using a Radeon R7 370 and working fine, much better on test Server than it was when the graphics test came out (WOT enCore

Graphics are great, almost too great.  I've been sightseeing instead of battling.
