Hey there, I recently found out that POL had made World of tanks supported on their platform.

This was really good news for me, however installing and running the game is causing some issues.

everytime I install WoT via Playonlinux it gets me to 1 ending.
how this occurs is if I install everything and accept everything which im sure you are supposed to do with an installed, however

It ends up with a ridiculous repeating popup saying:
"Critical error" an Unhandled Exception has occured and will restart this application.

The installation was good but it seems the game won't run.
Someone help! Please?

Yeah. So, no need for exclamation points. I can hear you. :) hahaha

So, even though its available on PlayOnLinux, I see allllll kinds of problems with it for all different kinds of reasons. Really, I would still have that script listed as "testing", especially on Mac. It really is just super buggy through Wine/Linux.

That notwithstanding, we need some things from you. If you read the stickies and forum rules, you would see that we require your terminal output, system type, linux version, graphics card specs and installed driver, architecture, etc.. Post this up so that we can figure out what happens. You can find out how to do all of this by reading the stickies.

Ok....Now I feel just a bit stupid...

Anywho...
I can't really tell you everything about my computer and I don't really know all of these computer terms, such as distribution...

Im guessing distribution is 12.04 precise linux
software...I think its POL 4.2.1
Desktop: Not sure, It could be Ubuntu

Errors: As of now there were no errors during the run of the entire installation up until the very end when the installation was completed.
this is when POL completes and attempts to start up the game, But it dosen't start up, instead it brings up a "Critical Error" message saying "an unhandled exception has occured/ Application will now restart, this procedes to repeat itself when I hit Ok and only stops when I hit cancel.

I think I can get you the Debug as Im assuming thats what you call a "Terminal Output"  Right?
This is the part that was highlighted, when starting the Application.

unless you want the Whole output...

Not sure if this works.

Sadly though thanks to my inability to understand programing and to open up my computer, I can't tell you the specs of my computer nor my graphics card...Sorry bout that...

Thank you so much for replying so quickly Mr.Yosha and I apologize for the exclamation marks...heheh...
Tried helping but I doubt this helps at all...maybe some pointers?

You can just call me Josh. :)

You need to check if you have the proprietary nvidia drivers installed for your system:

nvfx_state_fb.c:162: nvfx_framebuffer_validate: Assertion `0' failed.

Looks like when its trying to communicate with the hardware framebuffer on the card, it fails. This is most likely because you are using the open source drivers. Get the ones from Nvidia site, install them, and see if that helps.
