The forum

Does anyone play World of tanks, besides me? ..It works extremely well with no problems. FPS is a bit low but the game is still very playable. Good job crew .. keep up the good work.

Change wine to 1.7.1-CSMT

Did changing to Wine 1.7.1-CSMT fix the frame rate problem?

Yes.

Awesome, thanks
Can you mark this thread as solved?

Hi all have somebody same problem like me?
My top row keys 2,3,4,5,6 not work in game. Game use this keys for reload AP ammo,HE ammo, medicine chest, tools for repair,fire extinguisher. In game options if i want to remap keys 2,3,4,5,6, it is impossible to use them. Interesting is if i write some msg to game chat numbers works.

I am not geek but i think it has to do with keyboard layout. I am from Slovakia and i use Slovak language in Ubuntu.

Is there somebody who can confirm this issue on his computer/system ?

Sorry for my poor english. I forgot to add top row number 1 works only other no.

That is very strange for a game.
Must be some mis-communication with Wine
What version of Wine are you using?

I try more versions of wine between 1.5-1.7

I try more versions of wine between 1.5-1.7

Yes I am using Virtual Desktop as you write above.

Hi solution for keyboard is only use english layout for keyboard. Then all works.. ... But now i have another problem. Few days ago i update POL to 4.2.2 version and starts problems with crashing game. Maybe it is not crash becouse game just closes. It happens unexpected. I try downgrade pol but no help, then i try also upgrade, remove it and problem still exist. Last line in debug is in 90% case is line:
libpng warning: Interlace handling should be turned on when using png_read_image

there is wery short example. [01/29/14 13:44:09] - Running wine-1.6.2 WOTLauncher.exe (Working directory : /home/back/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/WorldOfTanks/drive_c/Games/World_of_Tanks)

Oh "libpng" is probably a PlayOnLinux problem. There were a few PNG error when using Steam in the past.

Try re-installing World of Tanks in a new virtual drive and see if that works.
I recommend emailing your png error to contact@playonlinux.com

OK i send email to contact@playonlinux.com with playonlinux.log But at this moment i dont have created new virtual drive.(becouse last weeks i do this more times)

I am such an avid fan but an struggling with FPS dropping to about 4 and halting my gaming for about 5 seconds removing all the fun... is there a fix anyone could suggest?

@booman: Why not using this thread to talk about WOT-Problems?

@bluedevil: Try wine-1.7.4-csmt (don't forget to enable csmt in the registry)

@all:
WOT worked really well till 9.0 - now it's slow and unstable.
The windows-users have the same problem.
the hotfix in the morning fixed only a little of the crash-issues, but it's far away from fixing all of the Problems.

For me, it works now stable on Windows - but much slower than before 9.0
I noticed, the game allocs much more RAM on Linux then on windows.
<1GB to 1,3-2GB in the first round...
How is that possible?

Its ok to post here, I was just thinking if his problem is not related to yours, then it would be better to have it in a new post. This way its easier to search and read online.

I didn't know you had to enable CSMT in the registry when you use Wine 1.7.4-CSMT
I just assumed it was already enabled by selecting that version of Wine.

My new Testresults:
Wine 1.7.12: 20-25fps, stable, texture bugs in garage, no problems ingame
Wine 1.7.4-csmt, 1.7.1-scmt: no graphic problems, 45fps average, crash after 2-4 rounds at the end of the round.

Where can i get 1.7.12-csmt? Can't find it on google :(

OS: Kubuntu 14.04 (same result as 13.10)
HW: i5 3570k, gtx 670, 16GB RAM

PlayOnLInux only has a 1.7.10-CSMT-a632585 available. That is the newest CSMT
