World of Tanks is a popular computer game. As with any other program, errors may occur in it. The article will examine the main problems of users and answer the question: "Why do not Tanks launch?"
Standard methods
If you encounter problems, first check to see if your PC meets the system requirements. The developers assume stable operation on a system with 1.5 GB of RAM, a processor that supports SSE2 instructions and a frequency of at least 2.2 GHz. The video card should work with DirectX version no lower than 9.0, and its memory capacity should be 256 MB or more.
Among other things, if Tanks does not start, you should install the latest video card drivers and update DirectX, Net Framework, and Visual C ++ libraries. All of these components can be downloaded from the Microsoft website for free. Drivers are easy to find on the manufacturer’s page.
An unhandled exception is occured
If the "Tanks" do not start, and even then a critical error appears on the screen with the inscription "An unhandled exception is occured", it is worth checking the computer with an antivirus program.
Game developers recommend using the Cureit or Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool. Both utilities are absolutely free. To check, use only the latest versions of programs and do not refuse to update virus entries when they first run.
Checking system files
If the anti-virus tools did not help, and the "Tanks" still do not start, try checking the integrity of the operating system files.
To complete this procedure:
- Open the Start Menu
- Select "Run" in it.
- In the input line, type "cmd" and click on the "OK" button
- The command line will open . It is required to enter "sfc / scannow" into it and press "ENTER"
- Be sure to wait for the program to finish working; do not close the window or turn off the computer during scanning.
Reinstall browser
The previous paragraphs did not help and the World of Tank does not start? Often launcher errors occur as a result of Internet Explorer errors . Often, a banal reinstallation of this application helps.
- Open the control panel.
- Click on the words "programs and components."
- In the left part of the window that opens, find the link "Turn Windows components on or off" and click on it.
- A list will appear on the screen in which you need to uncheck the box next to the name "Internet Explorer".
- Now you should click on the "OK" button and restart the computer.
- After the reboot, download Internet Explorer from the official Microsoft website and install it.
Error after update
It happens that after downloading the next update, the message "unpacking error" appears on the screen. And at the same time, the World of Tank does not start. At the first stage of solving the problem, it is worth checking how much free space is on the section in which the game is installed. If this value is less than a few gigabytes, it is logical that the update has nowhere to copy new documents. An excellent option in this case would be to remove the "Update" directory from the game directory. It saves all previous developer patches, which will not be needed after their application.
Why don't Tanks start up, displaying the same message when there is more than enough space on the hard drive? The problem may be caused by file system errors. To exclude such "bugs", you should check the FS.
- Press the combination of "Windows + R" on the keyboard.
- In the window that opens, type "cmd" and click on "OK"
- Now type in the command line "chkdsk X: / f / r" and press "ENTER" (instead of the letter "X" you must enter the letter of the section to be checked).
- Scanning may not always be performed while the operating system is running. In this case, the user will be prompted to check after a reboot. If you receive such a message, press the "Y" button.
- It is not recommended to interrupt the file system scan before it ends. Be sure to wait for its completion.
If none of the above tips helped, to determine why Tanks are not starting is impossible without additional research. In this case, to solve the problem, try reinstalling the game or contact the customer support specialists.
