Tanks slow down on Windows 7, what should I do? We optimize and speed up World of Tanks
Hello to all fighters.
I’ll try to briefly talk about the brakes in the game and what to do about it.
Simplified for the user, “brakes” are divided into two categories:
Slow drawing (rendering) of the image and, as a result, low FPS (frames per second - the number of frames drawn per second).
Network lags (lags) are delays in the transmission of data on the Internet, leading to a slower reaction of the tank to your commands and to strange behavior of other tanks: driving jerkily, randomly appearing or disappearing, etc.
FPS
You can view the rendering speed (fps) in the game in the upper right corner during the battle. In general, for our tank gameplay, below 15-20 fps is slow, 20-30 is average, above 30 is quite good.
I’ll say right away that the game is not yet optimized for rendering speed - on weak and medium-sized machines there may be strong “brakes”, especially with a large number of players on the map. We will optimize, including expecting a lot from the next version of our engine (Bigworld), which we plan to switch to in the near future.
For most people, I recommend setting the graphics detail in the lobby settings to “medium” - this will significantly increase FPS and make the game more comfortable.
Additional steps that you can take if all else fails and the game has slowdowns and graphical glitches:
Install the latest version of DirectX. You can get it at the following addresses:
http://www.3dnews.ru...rosoft/direct_x
http://www.microsoft...&displaylang=en
Install the latest video card drivers.
For Nvidia:
http://nvworld.ru/drivers/ or
http://www.3dnews.ru...eo/nvidia_video
For AMD/Ati:
http://www.radeon.ru...ds/drivers/#wxp or
http://www.3dnews.ru...video/ati_video
Important! Before installing new drivers, do not forget to uninstall the old ones (via Add/Remove Programs) and restart your computer.
Net
Lags or network delays. They occur if network packets with information disappear or are delayed on the way from your computer to the game server. The reasons for lags can be different: your communication channel is clogged, for example, with torrent downloads; for some reason one of the routers on the way to the game server is overloaded; the game server may be overloaded with a large number of players or game sessions.
You can determine exactly where losses and delays occur using the PingPlotter program (http://www.pingplott.../pngplt_std.exe). The program is a trial, it works for 30 days, although after that you can use it, you just need to wait after downloading until the “do it later” button appears. In order not to wait, you can simply buy the program.
Install and launch. In the “address to trace” field we write: 94.198.55.29
. In the “trace interval” field, set 1 second and press the “start” button. A list of routers (Hops) will appear through which information packets travel from your computer to the game server. Right-click on each of them and select “show this timeline graph” from the context menu. For each router, graphs will appear showing packet loss (red vertical lines) and delay (black line in graph form).
Then you can start the game and look at the graphs. If there are few losses of pacts on them (single red lines scattered across the graphs) and the delays are small (black graphs of network delays are mostly in the green zone), then everything is fine with your Internet connection and you can play normally.
If, on the contrary, frequent red lines appear on one of the routers, or they even merge into wide red stripes, or the delay graph constantly hangs in the red zone, then this router is precisely to blame for the poor quality of communication.
If this occurs closer to the first hops, then it may be delays at your provider or in your network (if, for example, you are connected to the Internet through your home network). If this appears on the first hop, or the program does not show anything: there are few red lines, the graphics are in the green zone, but there are still network “brakes”, see if your communication channel is overloaded: downloads, Skype, torrents, automatic program updates (operating system or antivirus). It would be a good idea to check your computer for viruses.
If problems occur close to the game server (maximum 1-2 hops from it), then these may be server problems. By the way, we will fight this mercilessly - closer to release, network traffic will be highly optimized and the game will be less dependent on lags.
What to do about it?
If there are problems on your computer, then figure it out yourself: look, configure, clean; or call a competent friend who can help you.
If there are problems on the game server, you need to complain to our technical support (although if we have problems, we most likely already know about it and are trying to fix them). For everything else, you can complain to your provider: “Why is my connection to this server so bad?” If the provider is sane, then the problem can be solved. You can add screenshots from a ping plotter to complaints as “evidence” (File\Save Image menu).
That's all, in a nutshell.
Although the BigWorld engine used in the game provides an excellent server part, the structure of which is capable of supporting colossal loads and excludes the possibility of using classic cheats, the client part is a little lame, in particular in matters of optimization, distribution of resource use on multi-core computers, as well as graphics. But what to do if World of Tanks slows down?
First you need to understand whether your patient (computer) is alive or rather dead, look at the settings and look at the characteristics. These are the minimum system requirements recommended by the game developers themselves:
- Operating system: Windows XP /Vista /7 /8
- Processor (CPU): 2.2 GHz
- Random access memory (RAM): 1.5 GB for Windows XP, 2 GB for Windows Vista/7
- Video adapter: GeForce 6800/ ATI X800 with 256 MB memory, DirectX 9.0c
- Audio card: DirectX 9.0c compatible
- Free hard disk space: 9 GB
- Internet connection speed: 256 Kbps
This does not mean that if your computer does not reach the minimum, the game will not run. It’s just that the greater the gap between your system parameters and these characteristics (for the worse), the more difficult it will be for you to play due to various brakes.
Let's understand the cause of the problem
Let's figure out why it may be uncomfortable to play World of Tanks. The game slows down primarily due to a lack of system resources. If your funds allow it, then of course the best option would be to buy a new PC or at least replace the processor or add RAM (if the system allows it).
What should you pay attention to? Let's look at a few responsible pieces of hardware:
- The processor is the head of your computer
- video card - responsible for graphics
- RAM - stores temporary data in its buffer
If even one of these elements is a weak link, then you can catch the brakes. Of course, within the framework of this article we will not delve into such equally important details as the motherboard bus or the core frequency of the video card.
Freeing up memory
We have already briefly discussed why World of Tanks slows down, now let’s get down to action.
If there is not enough video memory
This is all due to your weak video card. This shortage can be cured by lowering the graphics quality in the game settings. You can also use the program to disable additional effects that cannot be disabled so easily in the game.
If there is not enough RAM
We need to build on what we have. If you have 2GB or less installed, then my advice to you is to buy more. RAM is not expensive now, I bought 2 sticks for 8 gigs at 1,000 rubles each, although I could have found it cheaper.
But, if this is not possible, well, we free up the operative space. First of all, even before launching the game and asking reasonable questions “what to do if World of Tanks lags,” you need to look at what programs you have running. Close everything! Browser, player, all sorts of Skype with ICQ and Quips, torrents and other programs. We're closing everything!
If this does not help, you can resort to the help of special software that frees the RAM from unused data. One of these programs is Wise Memory Optimizer, instructions for which you can watch in this video:
Additionally
Those who are experiencing problems are wondering when playing World of Tanks without comfort - why does the game freeze? If all of the above tips did not help, then you can get a little hardcore and delve into the issue of optimizing the client and your computer as a whole.
Master Yoda:
"The brakes in World of Tanks are caused by a weak computer".
- - this material contains links to the best tips and mods to improve game performance.
- - a lot of useful information, including a description of the program for overclocking a video card.
Unfortunately, games have flaws: stutters, low FPS, crashes, freezes, bugs and other minor and not so minor errors. Often problems begin even before the game starts, when it does not install, does not load, or does not even download. And the computer itself sometimes acts strange, and then in World of Tanks Blitz there is a black screen instead of a picture, the controls don’t work, you can’t hear the sound or anything else.
What to do first
- Download and run the world famous CCleaner(download via direct link) - this is a program that will clean your computer of unnecessary garbage, as a result of which the system will work faster after the first reboot;
- Update all drivers on the system using the program Driver Updater(download via direct link) - it will scan your computer and update all drivers to the latest version in 5 minutes;
- Install Advanced System Optimizer(download via direct link) and enable game mode in it, which will end useless background processes while launching games and improve performance in the game.
WOT Blitz system requirements
The second thing to do if you encounter any problems with World of Tanks Blitz is to check the system requirements. In a good way, you need to do this before purchasing, so as not to regret the money spent.
Minimum system requirements for World of Tanks Blitz:
Win 7 32, Processor: Intel Pentium 4 1.8GHz, 2 GB RAM, 3 GB HDD, AMD Radeon X600 Series
Every gamer should have at least a little understanding of components, know why a video card, processor and other things are needed in the system unit.
Files, drivers and libraries
Almost every device in a computer requires a set of special software. These are drivers, libraries and other files that ensure the correct operation of the computer.
You should start with the drivers for your video card. Modern graphics cards are manufactured by only two large companies - Nvidia and AMD. Having found out which product drives the coolers in the system unit, we go to the official website and download the latest driver package:
A prerequisite for the successful operation of World of Tanks Blitz is the availability of the latest drivers for all devices in the system. Download the utility Driver Updater to easily and quickly download the latest drivers and install them with one click:
If World of Tanks Blitz does not start, we recommend that you try to disable your antivirus or put the game in the antivirus exceptions, and also check again for compliance with the system requirements and if something from your build does not comply, then, if possible, improve your PC by purchasing more powerful components.
In WOT Blitz there is a black screen, a white screen, a color screen. Solution
Problems with screens of different colors can be divided into 2 categories.
Firstly, they often involve using two video cards at once. For example, if your motherboard has a built-in video card, but you play on a discrete one, then World of Tanks Blitz may launch for the first time on the built-in one, but you will not see the game itself, because the monitor is connected to a discrete video card.
Secondly, color screens occur when there are problems with displaying images on the screen. This can happen for various reasons. For example, WOT Blitz cannot work through an outdated driver or does not support the video card. Also, a black/white screen may appear when working at resolutions that are not supported by the game.
World of Tanks Blitz crashes. At a specific or random moment. Solution
You play for yourself, play and then - bam! - everything goes out, and now you have a desktop in front of you without any hint of a game. Why is this happening? To solve the problem, you should try to figure out what the nature of the problem is.
If a crash occurs at a random moment in time without any pattern, then with a 99% probability we can say that this is a bug of the game itself. In this case, it is very difficult to fix something, and it is best to just put World of Tanks Blitz aside and wait for the patch.
However, if you know exactly at what moments the crash occurs, then you can continue the game, avoiding situations that provoke a crash.
However, if you know exactly at what moments the crash occurs, then you can continue the game, avoiding situations that provoke a crash. In addition, you can download the WOT Blitz save and bypass the departure location.
World of Tanks Blitz freezes. The picture freezes. Solution
The situation is approximately the same as with crashes: many freezes are directly related to the game itself, or rather to the developer’s mistake when creating it. However, often a frozen picture can become a starting point for investigating the deplorable state of a video card or processor.
So if the picture in World of Tanks Blitz freezes, then use programs to display statistics on component loading. Perhaps your video card has long exhausted its working life or the processor is heating up to dangerous temperatures?
The easiest way to check the load and temperatures for the video card and processors is in the MSI Afterburner program. If you wish, you can even display these and many other parameters on top of the World of Tanks Blitz picture.
What temperatures are dangerous? Processors and video cards have different operating temperatures. For video cards they are usually 60-80 degrees Celsius. For processors it is slightly lower - 40-70 degrees. If the processor temperature is higher, then you should check the condition of the thermal paste. It may have already dried out and needs to be replaced.
If the video card is heating up, then you should use a driver or an official utility from the manufacturer. It is necessary to increase the number of revolutions of the coolers and check whether the operating temperature decreases.
World of Tanks Blitz is slow. Low FPS. Frame rate drops. Solution
If there are slowdowns and low frame rates in WOT Blitz, the first thing to do is lower the graphics settings. Of course, there are many of them, so before reducing everything, it’s worth finding out exactly how certain settings affect performance.
Screen resolution. In short, this is the number of points that make up the game picture. The higher the resolution, the higher the load on the video card. However, the increase in load is insignificant, so you should reduce the screen resolution only as a last resort, when everything else no longer helps.
Texture quality. Typically, this setting determines the resolution of texture files. The texture quality should be reduced if the video card has a small amount of video memory (less than 4 GB) or if you are using a very old hard drive with a spindle speed of less than 7200.
Model quality(sometimes just detailing). This setting determines which set of 3D models will be used in the game. The higher the quality, the more polygons. Accordingly, high-poly models require more processing power from the video card (not to be confused with the amount of video memory!), which means this parameter should be reduced on video cards with low core or memory frequencies.
Shadows. They are implemented in different ways. In some games, shadows are created dynamically, that is, they are calculated in real time at every second of the game. Such dynamic shadows load both the processor and the video card. For optimization purposes, developers often abandon full rendering and add pre-rendered shadows to the game. They are static, because essentially they are just textures overlaid on top of the main textures, which means they load memory, and not the video card core.
Often developers add additional settings related to shadows:
- Shadow Resolution - Determines how detailed the shadow cast by an object will be. If the game has dynamic shadows, it loads the video card core, and if a pre-created render is used, then it “eats” the video memory.
- Soft shadows - smooths out unevenness in the shadows themselves, usually this option is given along with dynamic shadows. Regardless of the type of shadows, it loads the video card in real time.
Smoothing. Allows you to get rid of ugly corners on the edges of objects through the use of a special algorithm, the essence of which usually comes down to generating several images at once and comparing them, calculating the most “smooth” picture. There are many different anti-aliasing algorithms that differ in the level of impact on the performance of World of Tanks Blitz.
For example, MSAA works head-on, creating 2, 4 or 8 renders at once, so the frame rate is reduced by 2, 4 or 8 times, respectively. Algorithms like FXAA and TAA work a little differently, achieving a smooth image by calculating only the edges and using some other tricks. Thanks to this, they do not reduce performance as much.
Lighting. As with anti-aliasing, there are different algorithms for lighting effects: SSAO, HBAO, HDAO. They all use video card resources, but they do it differently depending on the video card itself. The fact is that the HBAO algorithm was promoted mainly on video cards from Nvidia (GeForce line), so it works best on “green” ones. HDAO, on the contrary, is optimized for video cards from AMD. SSAO is the simplest type of lighting, it consumes the least resources, so in case of brakes in WOT Blitz it is worth switching to it.
What to reduce first? Shadows, anti-aliasing and lighting effects tend to take the most work, so these are the best places to start.
Gamers often have to optimize World of Tanks Blitz themselves. Almost all major releases have various related forums where users share their ways to improve productivity.
One of them is a special program called Advanced System Optimizer. It is made specifically for those who do not want to manually clean their computer of various temporary files, delete unnecessary registry entries and edit the startup list. Advanced System Optimizer does this for you and also analyzes your computer to find ways to improve performance in apps and games.
World of Tanks Blitz lags. Large delay when playing. Solution
Many people confuse “brakes” with “lags,” but these problems have completely different causes. WOT Blitz slows down when the frame rate at which the image is displayed on the monitor decreases, and lags when the delay when accessing the server or any other host is too high.
This is why lags can only occur in online games. The reasons are different: bad network code, physical distance from servers, network congestion, incorrectly configured router, low Internet connection speed.
However, the latter happens least often. In online games, communication between client and server occurs through the exchange of relatively short messages, so even 10 MB per second should be enough.
There is no sound in World of Tanks Blitz. Can not hear anything. Solution
World of Tanks Blitz works, but for some reason does not sound - this is another problem that gamers face. Of course, you can play like this, but it’s still better to figure out what’s going on.
First you need to determine the scale of the problem. Where exactly is there no sound - only in the game or even on the computer? If only in a game, then perhaps this is due to the fact that the sound card is very old and does not support DirectX.
If there is no sound at all, then the problem is definitely in the computer settings. Perhaps the sound card drivers are installed incorrectly, or maybe there is no sound due to some specific error in our beloved Windows OS.
Controls don't work in WOT Blitz. World of Tanks Blitz does not recognize the mouse, keyboard or gamepad. Solution
How to play if it is impossible to control the process? Problems with supporting specific devices are inappropriate here, because we are talking about familiar devices - a keyboard, mouse and controller.
Thus, errors in the game itself are practically excluded; the problem is almost always on the user's side. You can solve it in different ways, but, one way or another, you will have to contact the driver. Usually, when you connect a new device, the operating system immediately tries to use one of the standard drivers, but some models of keyboards, mice and gamepads are incompatible with them.
Thus, you need to find out the exact model of the device and try to find its driver. Devices from well-known gaming brands often come with their own software packages, since the standard Windows driver simply cannot ensure the correct operation of all functions of a particular device.
If you don’t want to search for drivers for all devices separately, you can use the program Driver Updater. It is designed to automatically search for drivers, so you only need to wait for the scan results and download the necessary drivers in the program interface.
Often WOT Blitz brakes can be caused by viruses. In this case, it makes no difference how powerful the video card is in the system unit. You can scan your computer and clean it of viruses and other unwanted software using special programs. For example NOD32. The antivirus has proven itself to be the best and has been approved by millions of users around the world.
ZoneAlarm is suitable for both personal use and small businesses, capable of protecting a computer running Windows 10, Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista and Windows XP from any attacks: phishing, viruses, malware, spyware and other cyber threats . New users are given a 30-day free trial.
Nod32 is an antivirus from ESET, which has received many awards for its contribution to security development. Versions of anti-virus programs are available on the developer’s website for both PCs and mobile devices; a 30-day trial version is provided. There are special conditions for business.
World of Tanks Blitz downloaded from a torrent does not work. Solution
If the game distribution was downloaded via torrent, then in principle there can be no guarantees of operation. Torrents and repacks are almost never updated through official applications and do not work over the network, because in the process of hacking, hackers cut out all network functions from games, which are often used to verify the license.Using such versions of games is not only inconvenient, but even dangerous, because very often many files in them have been changed. For example, to bypass protection, pirates modify the EXE file. At the same time, no one knows what else they do with it. Perhaps they embed self-executing software. For example, when the game is first launched, it will integrate into the system and use its resources to ensure the well-being of hackers. Or, giving access to the computer to third parties. There are no guarantees here and cannot be.
In addition, the use of pirated versions is, in the opinion of our publication, theft. The developers spent a lot of time creating the game, investing their own money in the hope that their brainchild would pay off. And every work must be paid.
Therefore, if any problems arise with games downloaded from torrents or hacked using one or another means, you should immediately remove the pirated version, clean your computer with an antivirus and a licensed copy of the game. This will not only protect you from dubious software, but will also allow you to download updates for the game and receive official support from its creators.
(game) gives an error about the missing DLL file. Solution
As a rule, problems associated with the absence of DLLs arise during game startup, but sometimes the game can access certain DLLs during the process and, not finding them, crash in the most blatant manner.
To fix this error, you need to find the required DLL and install it on the system. The easiest way to do this is using the program DLL-fixer, which scans the system and helps quickly find missing libraries.
If your problem turns out to be more specific or the method outlined in this article did not help, then you can ask other users in our “” section. They will help you quickly!
Thank you for your attention!
To achieve maximum speed on high settings.
WoT's graphics can't be called cool, but due to the peculiarities of the engine, oddly enough, World of Tanks turns out to be very resource-hungry. This game has a number of features:
— The game understands ONLY one processor core! This fact should be taken into account.
— The game is very memory hungry
— The game takes up a large amount of memory on the HDD, and consists of thousands of small files.
As we can see, the WoT developers have been very focused on optimization, so we optimize the game ourselves.
CPU
Since the WorldOfTanks.exe*32 application runs ONLY IN ONE thread, it makes no sense to buy a multi-core processor for this game. Much more important is the power density of one core and its frequency. However, we all have multi-core processors. This fact can and should be used. Please note that during the game only the first core was loaded (and a little bit of the fifth, but more on that later).
What can you do? There is no way to speed up the first core without overclocking, but you can UNLOAD it! :)
We go to the application manager and reassign the correspondence of the heaviest of them to all other cores, but not to the first one. The logic here is that the first core should deal exclusively with tanks. Heavy applications include browsers, built-in explorer, plugin container for playing movies, flash animation and other gluttonous nonsense that hangs in the tray.
It is necessary to remove the busyness of the first core from all heavy applications except Wot.exe itself
RAM
The developer states that 2GB of RAM is suitable for the game.)) False.
Having 4GB of a comfortable game, if at least something else is running, it won’t work. But you still want to be able to do something during the loading minutes, and not watch
. WAITING TO LOAD...
Therefore, you need 8GB or higher. This volume will allow you to instantly switch with the Windows button to tanks and the desktop and fly into the game a second before the start of the battle. Fortunately, RAM costs pennies today, so 16GB will be appropriate and look like an adult. By the way, please note that in the top screenshot only the volume that was displayed by the task manager was 3.5 GB.
SWAP FILE
In short, it must be destroyed. Full. Everything should only sit in a large amount of RAM and not be loaded from any files. If your RAM is 8 GB or more, you should forcefully destroy the page file on all disks.
GAME FOLDER
It is better to keep it on the C:/ drive, as the fastest one, if you have a regular HDD. It’s even better if you have a solid-state SSD drive for such purposes, because In addition to its large volume, the WoT game consists of tens of thousands of files, and the mechanical head is simply not able to count them quickly. Another thing is SSD, because... there are no mechanics in it.
VIDEO CARD
Need more help. The bare minimum is a Radeon 5570+ or GeForce 430GT+ with DDR3 or higher. On such videogames you will at the very least play on medium settings. I don’t see any point in playing at 15fps, because... Missing the enemy due to the brakes and disappearing will not bring pleasure to anyone.
RESULT
A cold start of World of Tanks on maximum graphics settings in less than 7 seconds is a reality!
If everything is done correctly, then with Very High settings in Full HD resolution 1920*1080 with 16x anisotropy and 8x anti-aliasing, you can achieve even more than 100 frames per second, and even in the most difficult scenes fps will not drop below 50. and you can read the theory here.
ZY For owners of Intel processors with Hiper Threading support... Please note that one core with this technology emulates two threads. That is why not only the first core is loaded, as in the screenshot, but also the fifth. It’s also better to unload it just in case, because... 1st and 5th, 2nd and 6th, etc. - these are all paired threads of a single core.
Also, in order not to fool your head, you can.
Is World of Tanks slow? Or do you have a weak computer? Or did you log into the game after the next update and WoT began to slow down terribly? If all this is familiar to you, but this course of events does not suit you, then read this article to the end, delving into every line of text. And, if everything is done correctly, then you will part with the game brakes forever...
So let's begin:
Why World of Tanks slows down:
First, let's check something as trivial as system requirements. I know, I know, now you start:
So, minimum system requirements for playing world of tanks:
Operating system: Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10.
256 Kbps.
Processor (CPU): and here's the most interesting thing, in 2014 this figure was 2.2 GHz, in 2015 added to the numbers: "supporting SSE2 technology", A in 2016, the 2.2 GHz numbers were removed, but wrote in words "With two or more physical cores"(but as far as I know, 2 cores began to be released as soon as the processor frequency exceeded the threshold of 2.6 GHz, so we draw conclusions)
Random access memory (RAM): 1.5 GB for Windows XP, 2 GB for Windows Vista, Windows 7/8/10.
Video adapter: GeForce 6800/ ATI HD X2400 XT with 256 MB of memory, DirectX 9.0c.
Audio: DirectX 9.0c compatible.
about 27 GB.
The minimum requirements are minimal because you will launch the game, but it will be difficult to play comfortably, believe me. So it is unlikely that it will be possible to remove the “brakes” and “freezes” of the client. Here you can’t do without upgrading your hardware... The parts recommended for replacement are, of course, the processor, video card and RAM...
Operating system: Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10 - 64-bit.
Internet connection speed: 1024 Kbps or higher (for voice chat).
Processor (CPU): Intel Core i5-3330 (for those who don’t know: 4 cores at 3 GHz - not bad).
Random access memory (RAM): 4 GB (or more).
Video adapter: GeForce GTX660 (2 GB) / Radeon HD 7850 2 GB, DirectX 9.0c.
Audio card: DirectX 9.0c compatible.
Free hard disk space:~36 GB.
The recommended requirements are certainly not exorbitant, but for old computers this is, as they say, “like walking to China” and if you are reading this article, it means that you have something in between these two characteristics. As usual, either the video is weak, or the RAM is not enough, or the percentage was inherited from someone’s hardware.
World of Tanks is slow! Well, what can you do here?
If your lags and slowdowns are due to the processor and even more so if this same processor is single-core, there’s nothing you can do about it, will have to change, well, he doesn’t “take out” the game now, although in 2014 it was still possible to play on this... alas
By the way, I wrote about how to choose a good computer in an article that I recommend reading.
Next comes random access memory (RAM). What can you do with it? Physically, of course, nothing. But you can remove unnecessary garbage, all programs that are loaded in your tray (for those who don’t know, the tray is where the Windows clock is, usually the lower right corner). That's why you need all sorts of managers when playing (viber, mail, icq, skype, etc.) - close it! Torrent?! Definitely OFF! Not only does it “eat up” the RAM, but it also clogs the Internet channel. Next is the browser, brrrrr... Look in the manager how much Google Chrome is eating. You will be horrified! We're closing! We close the rest of the browsers (because they also consume quite a bit)! I would even close the antivirus during the game (by the way, NOD32 has a game mode that frees up a certain amount of RAM for games), and it’s not possible to completely disable any antivirus so easily.
Special aesthetes use programs like Wise Memory Optimizer, which clear the memory of unused data (personally, I would not recommend using these, because I myself caught the “blue screen of death” on a test computer with WinHR installed).
It’s better, of course, to buy up to a decent 4 GB of RAM, especially if you have an old computer, then the RAM for it (DDR, DDR2) will cost mere pennies, and the comfort from it will be felt for a very, very long time. On the test machine I played on dual-channel RAMe (DDR2) 4 GB (2x2GB) and everything was fine!
Next in line for us video card.
If there is not enough video memory, then we try to remove the excess using the program WOT Tweaker downloading it for the current version of the game client on the Internet. In the tweaker you can remove such extras. effects that cannot be disabled from the game client, such as flying dirt from under the tracks, optical effects from a burning tank, etc. But it's worth it, take my word for it!
If the fps in the game shows too little 5-10, then you can try running the client in “safe mode”: 
This will disable all installed mods and we can safely say that fps drops due to mods. For example, I encountered a drop in fps from a mod. I will post a video about more detailed graphics settings at the end of the article. Read on...
It happens to someone that the computer hardware is far from weak, even up to the latest versions, and there is nothing unnecessary hanging out in the tray (like a torrent), but Worl of Tanks still slows down. Then the problem is most likely with the Internet provider. Pay attention to the ping in the game, if it exceeds 50 ms, then something is wrong, either the provider is to blame, or you are running some program that requires an Internet connection to work, or your computer has a virus, such as a Trojan, that constantly sends packages via your Internet channel.
A word about 3G modems
About 3G modems(4G modems) I don’t want to talk about it here. A whole article has been written about this: . In it, I explained why everything is so bad when playing via a USB modem and which WoT game server you don’t connect to, the ping is still huge, sometimes up to 300 ms. One can only feel sorry for those people who, apart from 3G, do not have any Internet, and there are quite a few of them. And to say that their world of tanks is slow is to say nothing...
Well, probably the last reason for this is actually the operating system itself. As programmers say “windows must die”... And it’s not for nothing that they say it. During the operation of Windows, all sorts of slag is collected in the system registry, from old entries about long-deleted programs and games to new entries from some mail satellite, Yandex browser and, God forbid, from some virus that alone can create up to a million false registry entries in order to load the percentage to full.
So, over time, all this loads the work of the operating system itself, just as it takes a really long time for programs to start, or the same text editor takes a very long time to open or save documents. Here you know that the end has come for Windows. And don’t expect super speeds from it, much less a comfortable game in WoT.
There are only 2 ways out. The simplest and almost painless for the brain is to remove Windows and install a new one. The second is to start completely cleaning your computer, removing unnecessary programs, defragmenting disks, and cleaning the registry. Long and tedious. But it's up to you.
Well, as promised, I’ll post it at the end of the article video from the developers themselves(by the way, many thanks to them for it) about that how to optimize graphics in World of Tanks. This video talks in detail about what fps is and what each slider in the settings is responsible for, how you can achieve an increase in fps and what it will cost.
Setting up graphics in WoT from version 1.0
And that's all for me! Many thanks to all those who made it through this article to the end! Good luck in setting up the client, huge fps for you and no lags, so that later they don’t ask why World of Tanks is slow.
Don’t forget to share in the comments who and how defeated lags, brakes and freezes in World of Tanks. After all, your comment can help a hundred or even a thousand people!
Dear players, before asking your question, take the trouble to read all the comments, perhaps there is already an answer to it. All duplicate questions will be ignored. Thanks for understanding!
