0 han_krog Member 2 posts 2,291 battles Report post #2 Posted July 21, 2017 The loading screen when you load the game? "Game Loading" sequence. If so, i do have the same problem. I thought it was because my fault for tweaking engine_config and preference file, but after resetting them to default, problem persist. Defrag hard drive and restart PC, still can't pass "Game Loading" sequence, even after waiting for 3 hour. My friend said he can't play WoT after latest update, yet i can play WoT in the latest update but can't play WoWs after updating to patch 6.8 If this a bug from the update, i wish WG make official announcement ASAP. If not, i want to know the solution as well, i've tried every troubleshooting i know to no avail Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So I remove the file 'preferences.xml' .As a resalt,can load.

0 Yutah123 Member 1 post 260 battles Report post #5 Posted July 21, 2017 (edited) I have the same problem too. I have a screenshot of the "Game Loading" screen when it freezes, posted below. The blue part always freezes at the same point, just before it completely fills the bar. Edited July 22, 2017 by Yutah123 Adding screenshot and more information Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It looks like, some player have to delete their "preferences.xml" to get the game running, otherwise it can't. Probably because older setting keep getting stacked in the .xml and in 0.6.8 had entirely different settings/setup GUI. I always tweak my "preferences.xml" btw, surely after updating to 0.6.8 my old "preferences.xml" get rekt. It's running fine now. Just remember to setup your game setting first after you delete "preferences.xml". It revert everything default. Flamu has this issue too, he solved it by deleting "preferences.xml".
