Does World of Tanks slow down? 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 we read this article to the end, delving into every line of the text. And, if everything is done correctly, then you will part with the brakes of the game forever ...

So let's start:

Why does World of Tanks slow down:

First, let's check out something as trivial as the system requirements. I know, I know, now start:

So, minimum system requirements for playing in world of tanks:

Operating system: Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10.
256 kbps.
Processor (CPU): and here is the most interesting thing, in 2014 this figure was 2.2 GHz, in 2015 added to the numbers: "Supporting SSE2 technology", but in 2016 removed the 2.2 GHz numbers, but written in words "With two or more physical cores"(but as far as I know, 2 cores began to be released as soon as the proc 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, therefore, are minimal, because you will start the game, but it will be difficult to play comfortably, believe me. So removing the "brakes" and "freezing" of the client is unlikely to succeed. Here you can't do without upgrading your hardware ... The parts recommended for replacement are, of course, a 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 do not know: 4 cores at 3 GHz - not sickly).
Random access memory (RAM): 4 GB (or more).
Video adapter: GeForce GTX660 (2GB) / Radeon HD 7850 2GB, DirectX 9.0c.
Audio card: DirectX 9.0c compatible.
Free space on hard disk:~ 36 GB.

The recommended requirements are certainly not sky-high, but for old computers it is, as they say, "like walking to China" and if you are reading this article, then you have something in between these two characteristics. As usual, either the video is weak, or the RAM is not enough, or the percentages were inherited from someone else's hardware

Slows down World of Tanks! Well, what can you do here?

If you have lags and brakes due to the processor and even more so if this very processor is single-core, then you can't do anything about it, will have to change, well, he does not "export" 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 the article, I recommend reading it.

Next comes random access memory (RAM)... What can you do with it? Physically, of course, nothing. But you can, after all, delete unnecessary garbage, all the programs that are loaded in your tray (who does not know, the tray is where the clock is in Windows, usually the lower right corner). That is why you have all sorts of managers (viber, mail, icq, skype, etc.) there when playing - close! Torrent ?! Definitely OFF! Not only does he "eat" the operative, but he also clogs up the Internet channel. Then the browser, brrrr ... Look in the manager how much goog chrome is "eating". You will be horrified! We close! The rest of the browsers (because they also consume a lot), also close! I would even close the antivirus for the duration of the game (by the way, NOD32 has a game mode that frees up a certain share of the operating system for games), and it will not be possible to completely disable any antivirus so simply.

Special aesthetes use programs like Wise Memory Optimizer, which clean out memory from unused data (personally, I would not recommend using such, because I myself caught the "blue screen of death" on a test computer with WinXR installed).
It is better, of course, to buy RAM up to a decent 4 GB, 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 a dual-channel RAMe (DDR2) of 4 GB (2x2GB) and everything was fine!

Next in line we have graphics card.

If there is not enough video memory, then we try to delete 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 dirt flying out 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 starting the client in "safe mode":


this will disable all installed mods and you can safely say that fps is sagging due to mods. For example, I have seen a drop in fps from a mod. For more detailed graphics settings, I will post a video clip at the end of the article. Read on ...

It happens to someone that the computer hardware is far from weak, and up to the latest versions, and in the tray it does not hang out anything superfluous (like a torrent), but it slows down the worl of tanks anyway. Then the matter is most likely in 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 have some program running that requires an Internet connection, or a virus, such as a Trojan, is in your computer, which constantly sends packages on your internet channel.

A word about 3G modems

About 3G modems(4G modems) I don't want to talk here. A whole article has been written about this:. In it, I explained why when playing via a USB modem everything is so bad and which server of the WoT game do not connect to, anyway the ping is huge, sometimes up to 300 ms. It remains only to pity those people who, apart from 3G, do not have any i-net, and there are many of them. And to say that their world of tanks slows down is to say nothing ...

Well, and probably the last reason is actually in the operating system itself. As programmers say "windows must die" ... And they say it for a reason. During the operation of Windows, any slag is collected in the system registry, starting from old records about long-deleted programs and games and ending with new records from some satellite mail, Yandex browser and, God forbid, from some virus that alone can create up to a million false registry entries in order to load the percent to the full.

So, over time, all this loads the work of the operating system itself, then how the programs do not really start for a long time or the same text editor opens or saves documents for a very long time. Here you should know that Windows has come to an end. And do not expect overspeed from her, and even more so 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 a complete cleaning of the computer, remove unnecessary programs, defragment disks, clean the registry. Long and dreary. But it's up to you to decide.

Well, as I promised, at the end of the article I post videos from the developers themselves(by the way, many thanks to them for him) about how to optimize graphics in World of Tanks... This video describes in detail 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 since version 1.0

And that's all for me! Many thanks to all those who have mastered this article to the end! Good luck in setting up the client, huge fps and no lags, so that later you don't ask why World of Tanks slows down.

Do not forget to share in the comments who and how won lags, brakes and freezes in World of Tanks. After all, your comment can help hundreds 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. Any duplicate questions will be ignored. Thank you for understanding!

Unfortunately, there are flaws in games: brakes, low FPS, crashes, freezes, bugs and other minor and not so much errors. Often, problems begin even before the start of the game, when it is not installed, downloaded or even downloaded. And the computer itself sometimes freaks out, and then in World of Tanks, instead of a picture, there is a black screen, the controls do not work, you cannot hear the sound or anything else.

What to do first

1. Download and run the world famous CCleaner(download by direct link) is a program that cleans your computer of unnecessary garbage, as a result of which the system will work faster after the first reboot;
2. Update all drivers in the system using the program Driver Updater(download by direct link) - it will scan your computer and update all drivers to the latest version in 5 minutes;
3. Install Advanced System Optimizer(download via direct link) and enable game mode in it, which will terminate useless background processes during the launch of games and increase the performance in the game.

The second thing to do if you have any problems with World of Tanks is to check the system requirements. In an amicable way, you need to do this even before buying, so as not to regret the money spent.

World of Tanks minimum system requirements:

Windows 2000, Processor: Intel Pentium 4, 1.5 Gb RAM, 3.5 Gb HDD, nVidia GeForce 6600GT Video memory: 256 Mb

Every gamer should at least understand a little about the components, know why a video card, processor and other things in the system unit are needed.

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.

It's worth starting with the drivers for the video card. Modern graphics cards are made by only two major companies - Nvidia and AMD. Having found out which product is spinning the coolers in the system unit, we go to the official website and download the package of fresh drivers:

A prerequisite for the successful functioning of World of Tanks is the availability of the latest drivers for all devices in the system. Download the utility Driver Updater to quickly and easily download the latest drivers and install them with one click:

If World of Tanks does not start, we recommend that you try to disable your antivirus or put the game in the antivirus exceptions, and also check the system requirements again, and if something from your assembly does not match, then, if possible, improve your PC by purchasing more powerful accessories.

In World of Tanks, a black screen, a white screen, a color screen. Decision

Problems with screens of different colors can be roughly divided into 2 categories.

First, they are often associated with the use of 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 can be launched for the first time on the built-in one, and you will not see the game itself, because the monitor is connected to a discrete video card.

Secondly, color screens are in case of problems with displaying images on the screen. This can happen for a variety of reasons. For example, World of Tanks cannot work through an outdated driver or does not support a video card. Also, a black / white screen may appear when running at resolutions that are not supported by the game.

World of Tanks crashes. At a certain or random moment. Decision

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, it is worth trying to figure out what kind of problem the problem is.

If the crash occurs at a random moment in time without any regularity, then with a probability of 99% we can say that this is a mistake of the game itself. In this case, it is very difficult to fix something, and it is best to just put World of Tanks 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 failure.

However, if you know exactly at what moments the crash occurs, then you can continue the game, avoiding situations that provoke a failure. In addition, you can download the save World of Tanks and bypass the place of departure.

World of Tanks freezes. The picture freezes. Decision

The situation is about the same as with crashes: many freezes are directly related to the game itself, or rather to a developer's error when creating it. However, quite 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 freezes, then use programs to display statistics on the loading of components. Perhaps your video card has already exhausted its working resource a long time ago, or is the processor warming up to dangerous temperatures?

The easiest way to check the load and temperatures for the graphics card and processors is in MSI Afterburner. If you wish, you can even display these and many other parameters over the World of Tanks picture.

What temperatures are dangerous? Processors and graphics cards have different operating temperatures. For video cards, they are usually 60-80 degrees Celsius. Processors have a little lower - 40-70 degrees. If the processor temperature is higher, then you should check the state of the thermal paste. It may have already dried out and needs to be replaced.

If the video card is warming up, then you should use the driver or the official utility from the manufacturer. It is necessary to increase the number of revolutions of the coolers and check if the operating temperature drops.

World of Tanks crashes. Low FPS. Frame rate drawdowns. Decision

With lags and low frame rates in World of Tanks, the first step is to lower the graphics settings. Of course, there are a lot of them, so before you reduce everything in a row, it is worth finding out exactly how certain settings affect performance.

Screen resolution... In short, this is the number of points from which the picture of the game is formed. The higher the resolution, the higher the load on the video card. However, the increase in load is insignificant, so you should only lower the screen resolution as a last resort, when everything else no longer helps.

Texture quality... Typically, this parameter determines the resolution of the 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 a very old hard disk is used with a spindle speed lower than 7200.

Model quality(sometimes just detail). 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 of the video card (not to be confused with the amount of video memory!), Which means that this parameter should be reduced on video cards with a low core or memory frequency.

Shadows... They are implemented in different ways. In some games, shadows are created dynamically, that is, they are rendered in real time every second of the game. Such dynamic shadows load both the processor and the video card. For optimization purposes, developers often abandon full-fledged rendering and add pre-rendered shadows to the game. They are static, because in fact 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 the object will be. If there are dynamic shadows in the game, it loads the video card core, and if a previously created render is used, it "eats" the video memory.
• Soft Shadows - smoothing out unevenness on the shadows themselves, usually this option is given together with dynamic shadows. Regardless of the type of shadows, it loads the video card in real time.

Smoothing... It allows you to get rid of ugly corners at the edges of objects by using a special algorithm, the essence of which is usually to generate several images at once and compare them, calculating the "smoothest" picture. There are many different anti-aliasing algorithms, which differ in the level of impact on the performance of World of Tanks.

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 such as FXAA and TAA operate a little differently, achieving a smoother image by calculating only the edges and using some other tricks. As a result, they do not degrade performance as much.

Lighting... As with anti-aliasing, there are different algorithms for lighting effects: SSAO, HBAO, HDAO. They all use the resources of the video card, 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 other hand, is optimized for AMD graphics cards. SSAO is the simplest type of lighting, it consumes the least resources, so in case of brakes in World of Tanks, you should switch it.

What to reduce first? Shadows, anti-aliasing and lighting effects tend to be the most stressful, so it's best to start with these.

Often, gamers themselves have to optimize World of Tanks. For almost all major releases, there are various relevant forums and forums where users share their ways to improve productivity.

One of them is a special program called Advanced System Optimizer. It is made especially for those who do not want to manually clean up the computer from various temporary files, delete unnecessary registry entries and edit the startup list. Advanced System Optimizer will do this on its own, and will also analyze your computer to identify how you can improve performance in applications and games.

World of Tanks lags. Big game lag. Decision

Many people confuse "brakes" with "lags", but these problems have completely different reasons. World of Tanks slows down when the frame rate at which the picture is displayed on the monitor decreases, and lags when the delay when accessing the server or any other host is too high.

That is why "lags" can only be in network games. The reasons are different: bad network code, physical distance from servers, network congestion, incorrectly configured router, low speed of the Internet connection.

However, the latter happens less often. In online games, communication between the client and the server takes place by exchanging relatively short messages, so even 10 MB per second should be enough for the eyes.

There is no sound in World of Tanks. I can not hear anything. Decision

World of Tanks works, but for some reason it doesn't sound - this is another problem faced by gamers. Of course, you can play this way, but it's still better to figure out what's the matter.

The first step is to determine the scale of the problem. Where exactly is there no sound - only in the game or in general on the computer? If only in the 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 matter is unambiguously in setting up the computer. Perhaps the sound card drivers are installed incorrectly, or maybe there is no sound due to some specific error of our beloved Windows OS.

Controls not working in World of Tanks. World of Tanks cannot see mouse, keyboard or gamepad. Decision

How to play if it is impossible to control the process? The problems of supporting specific devices are irrelevant here, because we are talking about familiar devices - a keyboard, mouse and controller.

Thus, errors in the game itself are practically excluded, almost always the problem is 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 a new device is connected, the operating system immediately tries to use one of the standard drivers, but some models of keyboards, mice, and gamepads are not compatible with them.

Thus, you need to find out the exact model of the device and try to find exactly its driver. Often, devices from well-known gaming brands come with their own software kits, since the standard Windows driver simply cannot provide the correct operation of all the functions of a device.

If you don't want to look for drivers for all devices separately, then you can use the program Driver Updater... It is designed to automatically search for drivers, so you just need to wait for the scan results and load the necessary drivers in the program interface.

Often, brakes in World of Tanks can be caused by viruses. In this case, it makes no difference how powerful the video card is in the system unit. You can check 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 received the approval of millions of users around the world.

ZoneAlarm is suitable for both personal use and small business, is able to protect 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 receive a 30-day free trial.

Nod32 is an anti-virus from ESET, which has received many awards for its contribution to the development of security. On the developer's site, versions of antivirus programs are available for both PCs and mobile devices, a 30-day trial version is provided. There are special conditions for business.

World of Tanks downloaded from the torrent does not work. Decision

If the distribution kit of the game was downloaded via torrent, then in principle there can be no guarantees of work. Torrents and repacks are almost never updated through official applications and do not work over the network, because in the course of hacking, hackers cut out all network functions from games that are often used to verify licenses.

Using such versions of games is not only inconvenient, but even dangerous, because very often many files are changed in them. For example, pirates modify an EXE file to bypass protection. At the same time, no one knows what else they are doing with it. Maybe they are embedding self-executing software. For example, which, when the game is first launched, will integrate into the system and use its resources to ensure the welfare 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, according to our publication, theft. The developers have spent a lot of time creating the game, investing their own funds in the hope that their brainchild will pay off. And every work must be paid.

Therefore, if you encounter any problems with games downloaded from torrents or hacked using one or another means, you should immediately remove the "pirate", clean your computer with antivirus and a licensed copy of the game. This will not only save you from questionable software, but also allow you to download updates for the game and receive official support from its creators.

World of Tanks gives an error about the missing DLL file. Decision

As a rule, problems associated with the absence of DLL libraries occur when World of Tanks starts, but sometimes the game can access certain DLLs in the process and, not finding them, crash in the most insolent way.

To fix this error, you need to find the DLL you need and install it on your system. The easiest way to do this is with the program DLL-fixer which scans the system and helps you quickly find missing libraries.

If your problem turned out to be more specific, or the method described in this article did not help, then you can ask other users in our section "". They will help you promptly!

Thank you for your attention!

Each player was faced with the fact that World of Tanks crashes during the battle. This is one of those situations that you won't even wish on your opponent. There can be only a few reasons, and maybe a whole set.

Anyway, it's worth taking proactive steps to troubleshoot and fix issues causing the game to crash as soon as possible.

Systematic ignoring of these factors can serve as a wake-up call and mean that the computer will stop working and will no longer be destined to win.

All reasons can be divided into just a few categories:

Malfunctions, the elimination of which is possible by the player himself.
malfunctions, the cause of which is related to factors beyond the control of the player.

The most important among the first is the factor of unstable Internet connection. Possible "symptoms" - the game starts, continues until a certain point, then the picture suddenly stops or loops.

And therefore, the fastest methods to check are:
1) Disable any antivirus software. Or putting them into game mode, very often helps to solve the problem.
2) Opened the laucher with the game World of Tanks. Go to settings and select - support - check and restore the integrity of the game ... Integrity check and game update, reinstallation will begin. The problem has been resolved.
3) Update all drivers (primarily for the video card) Wargaming also always recommends disabling the mandatory NVIDIA PhysX for NVIDIA video cards (set by default).

Do not panic, it is better to immediately tackle this problem.

Make sure that the personal account in the personal account of the provider has enough funds to pay for the period of using the Internet. If at the moment the required amount is not available, and you need to finish the match, you can use a temporary trust replenishment, now many providers provide this service. If you can't even enter your personal account, then it is obvious that the problems are in the cable.

The above methods should help to solve the problem, it definitely helped us, if you find out another way, write in the comments.

For the second group of factors, it is necessary to determine such situations when all the equipment is in good order, and World of Tanks still crashes during the battle. This may be due to maintenance work on the server. Typically, the administration will notify each player and, as an apology, make small compensation gifts. All that remains is to wait for the server to work again.

Every gamer has heard about World of Tanks at least once, and perhaps spent more than one hour playing the game. This is a multiplayer game in which you choose your own vehicles, upgrade them and fight with other gamers who do the same. The main advantage of this project is the fact that the developers have made every effort to make the game as close to reality as possible. And they succeeded in many ways - almost all the characteristics of tanks, guns and other elements correspond to what they really were. Thus, this game is suitable for anyone who is fond of tanks or likes to spend time playing an exciting game in which you can work together with your friends or fight against them. However, it should be noted that for some gamers this game may crash, which they are not particularly happy about. But do not be prematurely upset about such problems - both the developers themselves and the creators of popular modifications for the game are looking for permanent and reliable solutions. And if World of Tanks crashes, you should either wait until the developers release something specific, or use some tips to help you play your favorite simulator.

Removal and installation

The first thing you need to try to do if World of Tanks crashes is to delete your client. There is no need to worry about the progress that you have played enough, nothing will be lost and will not disappear. The fact is that all the necessary information is stored on the servers of the game. And when you uninstall the client, you only remove the tool to play WoT from your computer, and all your tanks, your resources and experience remain. Therefore, feel free to delete the client, and then reinstall it again, only without various modifications and patches. This should help - in most cases, gamers can safely play on a clean client without seeing crashes. Naturally, you can gradually try to add mods that interest you, patch the game and see if the crashes return. It is quite possible that everything will remain in order. Thus, you can find the very element that prevented you from playing. However, this does not always help, and if World of Tanks crashes even after reinstallation, then you need to try other methods.

Reinstall Java

In some cases, the problem that World of Tanks crashes is that you do not have the latest Java service pack installed correctly. The game uses Java, so if something is wrong with this block of software, then you will need to completely remove all existing Java components, and then reinstall them by downloading from the official site. Naturally, this is not a universal way of dealing with this problem, but it is worth trying all the methods that have been and will be indicated in this article. You do not need to carry out all the actions - try the steps in order until one of them suits you. If your game World of Tanks crashes, then you should think about how to solve this problem as soon as possible, because this will allow you to quickly return to the game and continue pumping without wasting a minute.

Mod XVM

The most popular mod that WoT players install is XVM, which is also called a reindeer gauge. With this free and legal modification, you can get extended statistics on the game, change the sight, display the names and indicators of opponents, and much more. At the same time, the main advantage of this mod is that you can completely customize it, that is, customize it to your taste, disabling the services you do not need and connecting the necessary ones. But if you started asking the question "Why is World of Tanks crashing?", You definitely need to check if everything is in order with this modification. The fact is that the creators of the mod are constantly working on improving and improving their product, so you can download a more stable and reliable version at any time. If your World of Tanks client crashes, you need to check all the possibilities, and it is the XVM mod that should be one of the first to be checked. Naturally, if you use other mods, you will also need to try uninstalling or reinstalling them in order to finally make sure that the reason for the crashes is not them.

Application.swf file

The game package, which contains all the mods for the game, contains the Application.swf file, which can cause crashes for certain, as yet unclear reasons. Of course, if you remove it, then some of your modifications (especially concerning the garage) will stop working. However, many gamers report that their WoT stopped crashing immediately after deleting this file. So the sacrifice is perhaps well justified.

Video card drivers

Also, the drivers for the video card can be a very important point - always check their relevance, because they directly affect how many computer games will be displayed for you. It is because of outdated drivers that crashes often appear in World of Tanks, so, perhaps, when you update them, everything will return to normal.

The BigWorld engine used in the game, although it provides a chic server part, the structure of which is capable of holding colossal loads and excludes the possibility of using classic cheats, but the client part is a little lame, in particular in terms of optimization, resource allocation on multicore computers, as well as graphics. But what if the world of tanks slows down?

First you need to understand whether your patient (computer) is alive or rather dead, look into the settings and see 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
• Memory (RAM): 1.5 GB for Windows XP, 2 GB for Windows Vista / 7
• Video adapter: GeForce 6800 / ATI X800 with 256 MB of memory, DirectX 9.0c
• Audio Card: DirectX 9.0c Compatible
• Free space on hard disk: 9 GB
• Internet connection speed: 256 Kbps

This does not mean that if your computer does not reach the minimum, then the game will not start. Simply, the greater the gap between your system parameters and these characteristics (for the worse), the more difficult it will be for you to play as a result of various brakes.

Understanding the cause of the problem

Let's see why it might not be comfortable to play World of Tanks. The game slows down primarily due to a lack of system resources. If the funds allow you, 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 take a look at a few responsible pieces of iron:

• processor - 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 the brakes can be caught. Of course, within the framework of this article, we will not delve into such equally important details as the motherboard bus or the frequency of the video card core.

Freeing up memory

Why World of Tanks slows down, we have already superficially sorted out, now let's get down to action.

If there is not enough video memory

This is where your weak video card is to blame. The sowing shortage is treated by reducing the quality of the graphics in the game settings. You can also resort to the program to disable additional effects that are not so easy to turn off in the game.

If there is not enough RAM

We must build on what we have. If you have 2GB or less installed, then my advice to you is to buy more. The RAM is not expensive now, I took for myself 8 gigs 2 strips of 1,000 rubles each, although it could be found cheaper.

But, if there is no such possibility, well, we release the operative. First of all, even before starting the game and reasonable questions "what to do if the world of tanks lags", you need to see what programs you have running. Close everything! Browser, player, all sorts of Skype with ICQ and queues, torrents and other programs. We close everything!

If it does not help, you can resort to using special software that frees the RAM from unused data. One of these programs is Wise Memory Optimizer, the instructions for which you can see in this video:

Additionally

For those who are experiencing problems, they ask themselves the question, playing without comfort in World of Tanks - why does the game freeze? If all of the above tips did not help, then you can hardcore a little and delve into the issue of optimizing the client and your computer as a whole.
