My English is poor, so please excuse me!

Here is the answer to fix the problem "Failed to connect to update service....."

Open task manager ---> processes tab ---> find the WorldOTanks.exe ---> end process.

And you should be good. (Mine is worked)

Have fun!!!

got to this forums by using wargaming.net forums link as yahoo cannot find worldoftanks.com tonite............   did your servers puke tonite ?????

[Shermans_Raiders]

This is really frustrating.  Does anyone know what is going on?  Why haven't any administrators replied to our greivances about logging into the game.  Some one please answer!!!

[Budenniy]

Same issue, can't update.
Yesterday i was able to log on and play bypassing the launcher and running the WOT executable directly. (or by pressing "Play" after updater fails.
Log file shows:

28/03/2012 12:24:28   Stop.

Today i get unable to connect to network.

link posted in this topic returns:|You do not have the permissions required to view this article, or the article does not exist.|
The workaround with the task manager doesn't work. (no such process)

Fix the issue please.

It is not the computer problem or some router problem it's obviously a server problem.

[Budenniy]

Was just able to login after some failed attempts  
Try this: When updater fails click "ok" and press "play" then log-in as normal. Should work (tho i had some gliches and had to reboot)
