World of Tanks

Tested the game with wine-vulkan and dxvk, big improvement in FPS over Gallium9. You need to run game in dx11 mode(xact needed) for vulkan to work. All settings maxed.

Wine 3.3 - 25-35 FPS
Wine 3.3 + Gallium 9 - 30-45 FPS
Wine Vulkan - 45-60 FPS

After 2 winetricks changes Windows version to XP, so u can change it by winecfg or run: winetricks win7
Tip. 1 - with clean wine 3.3, first error is with xaudio2_7 - you can disable by winecfg or install it: winetricks xact.
Tip. 2 wine 3.3 has problem with cef_browser (Chromium Embedded Framework) which is depend from .NET lib. Clean wine can work only with Win XP or Win 2003 settings. Wine staging doesn't have that problem.

The game works quite well with dx11.
That is the solution:
Note:
- tested on Nvidia 780 3GB (quite old) diver ver. 390.25; i7 6700k
- distro Arch 64bit
- wine-staging 3.3 from AUR; all the necessary lib32 libraries installed; see - www.archlinux.org/packages/multilib/x86_64/wine-staging/.
- installed wine_gecko

1. make wine enviroment, 32 or 64bit - not important and enable CSMT
2. winetricks vcrun2013 vcrun2015 d3dx9_36 d3dcompiler_43 d3dx11_42 d3dx11_43
now you have enviroment to run dx9 and dx11
3. to use dx11 run: winetricks glsl=disabled
4. to better performance: winetricks ddr=opengl videomemorysize=2048 (winetrick allows only this variable u can change it latter by regedit, but WOT only needs ~1.6GB VRAM; see nvidia-smi)
with the above settings I sometimes had FPS drops so lets go to deeper:
In WOT dir run (nvidia settings):

WINEDEBUG=-all __GL_THREADED_OPTIMIZATIONS=1 __GL_YIELD="NOTHING" __GL_SYNC_TO_VBLANK=0 wine ./WorldOfTanks.exe

You can try also varible for tests: LD_PRELOAD="libpthread.so.0 libGL.so.1"

Voila!

A Linux noob here so I have probably done something wrong - requesting assistance from the Linux gurus in getting World of Tanks installed on my Ryzen system.

If you are willing to assist - what information do you need from me?

Thanks in advance for your kind assistance

Я написал эту инструкцию для World of Tanks и PlayOnLinux где-то полгода назад. Не знаю, работает ли она еще или нет, но может быть кому-то пригодится: github.com/cmrd-senya/wot-guide/blob/master/guide.md

disable xaudio, install flash player and ie7 for what?

for me, works only with:

set Windows 7
d3dx9_36 (i'm not sure, don't work with the latest dx9??)
xact
concrt140 (nat, built)
vcruntime140 (nat, built)

in my hackintoch (plain wine-staging 2.21)

and launch the game with:

wine WoTLauncher.exe -clientGraphicsAPI d3d9

If you're getting this, switch to "Windows Version: Windows XP" and it would work!

Windows10, 8.1 and 7: NG
Windows Vista and XP: Works

It is not necessary to use XP enviroment.
Just run with command in WoT dir: "export WINEDEBUG=-all && wine ./WorldOfTanks.exe -clientGraphicsAPI d3d9".
Dx3d11 worked up to patch 9.20.
For each map 90-120FPS with WoT client HD

Graphics: GTX780, driver: proprietary.
Kernel modules: nvidia, nvidia_modeset, nvidia_uvm, nvidia_drm
WINEARCH=Win64, Wine enviroment: Windows 7

I tried that and it now continuously crashes, is there a way to revert this? Or is it a spurious anomaly for me?

Something about the latest 9.20 update made my fully working setup stop working.
The logs are not being very useful.

Just wanted to say I was able to get the Wargaming updater UI graphics working with explorerframe and for whatever reason torrent updating is working fine for me, but I also tweaked with the recommended install and added a couple microsoft COM and network libraries. Can't say which did it for sure.

Oh, I'm using the 64bit wine2.8 system prefix from a clean wine-gaming-nine AUR build - 2.8/2.8-staging ~10 various updated (this week) patches incl. latest steam patch, etc. Very good PKGBUILD, check it out.

I was following this test result:
appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?bIsQueue=false&bIsRejected=false&sClass=distribution&iId=1410&sAction=view&sTitle=View+Distribution

Trick for me was to update that WotLauncher.cfg after a crash, and then start WotLauncher.exe again, manually. Download is progressing normally now.

Will update if game is playable after installation is finished (I use 64 bit wine prefix as opposed to linked test results)

OK. Game runs on x64 without any issues. Performance is decent on standard setting on 2500ish x 1400is screen resolution.

Have not yet tested real battles though.

I had to update my system from Mint 17.3, where WoT ran perfectly, to 18.1. The only thing that is 'new', is the version of the Nvidia driver. Bot now, I am missing simple Textures like gun marks, SPG detonation marks on the ground but also water! While smoke and dust is visible, water is invisible.

Had anyone this problem before, and found a fix for that?

I had to disable d3d11 to fix various graphical glitches.

1) Run winecfg
2) Goto the libraries tab
3) add d3d11
4) edit it to disable it.

I have the same issue.
Here is my configuration:
corefonts
d3dx9_43
vcrun2013
xaudio2_7" Disabled
dnsapi
msvcr140
msvcp140
CSMT enabled
Ubuntu 16.04
Wine 2.4 staging
NVIDIA driver 375.39

Since 9.17 d3dx9_43 and msvcp140/msvcr140 are required.
Installation/Configuration:
- wine2.1-staging x86
- win7 OS emulation [winecfg]
- winetricks corefonts d3dx9_43 vcrun2013
- libraby xaudio2_7 disable [winecfg]
- library dnsapi.dll override (buildin,native) [winecfg]
- enable CSMT in stagin tab [winecfg]
- change "launcher_transport" from 3 to 2 in "WoTLauncher.cfg"

did you install all the components listed in the instuctions?
install winetricks d3dx9_36 (play on linux configuration)
add msvcp110 and msvcr110 libraries using winecfg as "native, builtin" (wine configuration)

When I open the configure wine from launcher options (playonlinux), these two items are already in this library. I have been trying and trying for three days to get a functioning world of tanks game set up. I've been through Linux Mint, Debian Stretch, & am now on Ubuntu LTS. I would be very grateful if it was an easy install, such as playonmac was for me two years ago.
I'm not expert with source & I know very little about manipulating these scripts. I realize its a workaround of sorts and that takes more time. Please compile a 100% fool-proof & easily-understood sequence of installing, for us 'cattle'. Thanks.

To Brent (and other "cattle"),
I don't think they like POL (play on Linux) around here much, but I'm hoping they will allow this as an exception:
- Install POL
- Click install ("+") then click "install unlisted program" at the bottom left
- Follow instructions as follows (you want "new virtual drive"; any name; don't tick any boxes; 64bit if you can)
- Download your country's exe from worldoftanks.com, select the exe in POL and close after install
- In the main window, click configure then click on your new virtual drive
- Click the "+" next to wine version and click on the amd64 tab
- Click on wine 3.2 then click the arrow to install
- Select the new version of wine in the configuration window
- Go to the "Wine" tab in the configuration window and click on configure wine
- In the new window, open the libraries tab and add an override for d3dx11 and xaudio2_7 and edit both of these to be "disabled"
- close the wine config and the POL config window and run the game.

wine staggering 2.1 on antergos(arch) and world of tanks 9.17.0.3
after a clan wars battle the game freezes at synchronizing personal files

With wine 2.0rc3 i download fine once i fix the torrent bug, but as soon as i click play on the launcher an error message pops up saying WoT has crashed

just tried on staging 2.0rc5 same problem

I know that it is not my system specs

did you install all the components listed in the instuctions?
install winetricks d3dx9_36 (play on linux configuration)
add msvcp110 and msvcr110 libraries using winecfg as "native, builtin" (wine configuration)

With Wine Staging (2.0rc3 at this moment) I had to disable xaudio2_7 library via winecfg to avoid getting unhandled exception right at the start. Other than that the game runs smooth and stable.

After a recent update of the game to 9.17 running the game on my nvidia card no longer works, technically it starts and plays, but the screen is tearing and flickering and it is very unpleasant and unplayable. If I run the game without the optirun / primusrun command it works fine, but on my intel card it's way slower with way less fps.
Worked perfectly fine in 9.16.

Arch Linux
Linux-x86_64
Nvidia Geforce 740M
Nvidia Driver version: 375.20
wine-1.9.23 (Staging)
World of Tanks v.0.9.17.0 #305
V-Sync turned off

for your flickering issue try using staging and Enable CSMT as described here Issue #2

I have same issue. Latest stagging wine (2.0-rc2).
WOT works, but with 0.5fps it is unusable. Previous version 9.16 was fine.
Any manipulation with CSMT or VSYNC have none effect.

I found a solution. Find small arrow on "Play" button and recover graphical settings. It is all.

So please elaborate on this play button and recover graphics I'm going crazy
Bob

When the game starts and you see the big PLAY button, then on the right edge inside that button comes a line and after that thin line comes arrow up. You barely notice it. From there you get additional options on how to play the game : "Launch the game in safe mode" and "Launch the game with reset graphic settings"

If you you make the game full-screen again, then the fps will drop again :(

Thats what I thought but I cant get the arrow to open up any menu or commands.

There is problem with updating through torrent and in new launcher update you can not disable torrent updates in GUI.

What you need to do is go to folder where you installed WOT (if you installed using POL it should look something like this "/home/username/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/WorldOfTanks/drive_c/Games/World_of_Tanks"), edit "WoTLauncher.cfg" ,find line 3 and replace number 3 with number 2 and save the file.

That's it.

Worked perfectly.

Just some extra explaining, the line is supposed to read:
2

apparently, something is parsing away xml tags here.
the 2 is supposed to be surrounded by launcher_transport xml tag.

You must find line "launcher_transport>3

Also affecting World of Tanks 0.9.9 in Fedora 22.

Console is spammed with:
ALSA lib pcm.c:7905:(snd_pcm_recover) underrun occurred

The problem can be remedied by editing /etc/pulse/default.pa

and changing default parameters to
default-fragments = 5
default-fragment-size-msec = 2

then restarting pulseaudio by
pulseaudio -k

I'm not sure who should change their settings, Wine, Fedora or others, but hope this helps others make it work.

Download went ok,but when game was applying updates I got "unable to extract" error.

The solution was to manually unpack the files that give error (check the log, files can be found in "world_of_tanks/updates/") and move unpacked content to updates_data/res/***** (or something similar, I can't remember now (and am far from PC), it's next to updates folder).
You MUST let WOT to start download a patch and once you see folder of the same name that that patch has in /updates_data/res/, you can start copying.


***** - name of the patch.

Sorry if it's hard to understand, English is not my native language so I suck at it.
