Storm on 0.8.6 - additional info

Hello everyone,

you have probably seen the newest Storm's post in english. While the translation is not literal, it's sufficient. As usual, under the Russian original article Storm answers some of the questions asked by players. Here's a short summary of what he said:

- ingame version of "noobmeter" (XVM) is still planned, but not soon
- large and XL spall liners will have different prices, the player won't be able to choose between them
- M6A2E1 ("the Alien") income won't be buffed
- the spall liner might be buffed to also reduce the crit chance of crew and modules, but not in 0.8.6
- the XL spall liner was not meant for ALL the vehicles about certain weight, the weight there is just an indicator
- it seems that new Nvidia drivers FINALLY fixed the interface crashing bug

  1. Actually the new drivers haven't fixed it yet. Had 1 crash so far today already with new drivers.

    1. It's meant to work with 0.8.6 not 0.8.5, but i don't believe until i see it in 0.8.6.

  2. What's the deal with M6A2E1 again and again ? Is it so bad?

    1. Well, it's huge, it has the same gun of the t29 with the same reload speed.No armour whatsoever neither mobility to compensate that lack of armour.
      T29 is better in all the aspects than m6a2 and it's 1 tier lower.

  3. 314.xx drivers work great on my GTX 560Ti, the new 320 driver causes freezes while browsing in Firefox up to the point where my system does not react anymore (Win7 64Bit).

    Never experienced that Tech tree crash issue with any nVidia driver, could it be that only older videochips are affected?

    1. I have the exact same problem with my 560ti also win7 64bit it even caused my computer to bluescreen, so I have reverted back to 3.14 and everything's working fine again. I have and still am experiencing tech tree crashes since they began

  7. I didnt experience any crashes in 8.4 with the 306 drivers. Then, it started with some rare ones in 8.5. Now im on the latest BETA driver 320 NOT the regular one and it works just fine... no crashes whatsoever. BTW im using a GTX 580...

  9. - M6A2E1 ("the Alien") income won't be buffed

    ?!?! Why? It's not like it's a money factory or anything. No love for those that had faith in WG, again.

    1. why would it need a buff? iirc the last patch that actually touched the goose - buffed its income!

  10. client is still crashing like nuts while on the battlefield.
    even with 320.xx drivers.

    never ever had a "interface crash" while in the techtree or somewhere else. no matter what driver version i was using.

    those nasty client crashes on the battle map happen since 8.5.
    so yeah.... blame nvidia for it wargaming..... -.-

  11. I've had those same crashes since before .8.5

    Thousand dollar gaming PC and I have to play on a POS laptop because those joker's cant untangle code.

    1. That is the laptops only bonus. Not, always, being able to update Nvidia due to integrated graphics and laptop specific drivers.

      HP 755US Compaq with Win 7 and Driver 7.15.11.7967 on a NVIDIA GeForce 7000M / nForce 610M.

      Bloody Nvidia site will not pick up the card and I cant update it if I wanted to. But so far its (WOT) never crashed except once during a server maintenance session.

      NEMO.

    2. Do you really expect them to fix anything?

  12. Ok since the new drivers I dont have any crashes in techtree.
    But Game crashes to desktop in battle while shooting.

    This happens over the last three Patches I don´t think that is nVidia ist to blame anymore....

  13. I never had the "techtree crash" problem, since I sticked to some old driver version (if something works - why change it?). But recently my geforce 8600gts just broke (it displays artifacts even on desktop) - so no wot for me... T_T

    At least untill I buy some new nvidia card with pci-e x16 and similar power consumption... Are there any?

    2. Thx anon. :)

      The gtx 650 looks like a nice gpu... Just what I need - better performance than 8600 gts with lower power consumption.

    3. Depending on the price the GTX 650 Ti Boost is also a very good GPU in its segment.

  14. Wait, how should we understand "profit on tier 8 won't be touched"?

    1. tier 8 premiums profit won't be touched

      Delete
    2. So only premiums below tier 8 and normal tanks 5-10?

  15. "- it seems that new Nvidia drivers FINALLY fixed the interface crashing bug"

    No they didn't. Crashed again 2 times yesterday on the tech tree.

    1. You shouldn't have bought nvidia... :)

      Delete
    2. I see reading is hard, the "fix" is on the 8.6 not the 8.5, so you'll get crashes in 8.5.

      Delete
  16. what makes them so sure nvidia is the source of these problems?
    i never had any problems with wot until 8.3 went live. since then i get the tooltip/mouseover crash and occasionally the game freezes or crashes to desktop. i tried pretty much all whql drivers from 306 onwards and nothing fixed it. how can it be a driver related problem then?

    ReplyDelete
  17. M6A2E1 ofc they wont "fix it" it was only given to customers who "only" paid 100 Euro for pre order GOLD...
