Wargaming download test. Test the new engine

World of Tanks test server

While playing World of Tanks, we all asked ourselves more than once what branch of tanks to download next, what premium tank to buy, what awaits us at the tenth level of this or that development tree, and so on. Even more of these questions arise from newcomers who have just come into tanks. And of course, we all heard about the test server more than once, which will somehow help us make a choice and answer all questions about pumping and choosing equipment. So what is the World of Tanks test server, what are its advantages and how to get on it?

General information about the test server

So, first of all, you should understand that the test server always opens a few weeks before the release of the game update. This gives developers a great way to check the new version of the game for all sorts of flaws, malfunctions, bugs and much more. After all, users playing on the World of Tanks test server may encounter similar performance problems, if any, and write about it on the forum. In this way, a lot of trouble can be avoided when the update is launched on the main servers of World of Tanks. In addition, players have the opportunity to get acquainted with a number of upcoming innovations with their own eyes, to try out new elements of the tested version.

However, players have found another use for the test - it's an opportunity to ride various vehicles, try out premium tanks and decide on a further plan for upgrading or buying a particular vehicle.

Why is this possible? Everything is very simple, on the test server each player is credited with:
20 thousand game gold;
100 million free experience;
100 million credits.

Thanks to such generous "gifts", you can upgrade any tank you are interested in in a few minutes and go to battle in it in order to learn about its advantages and decide whether it is worth going to it on your main account.

Regarding gold, it will last for a maximum of two premium tanks of the 8th level, but more often for one, so many create several accounts on the test server in order to try out several vehicles and choose the only one that they will then buy on the "basis" and will stuff on her game currency and experience.

But remember, anything you purchase on the test server will never be transferred to your main account, it's just a way to try out the upcoming update, decide on future goals, get an idea about a certain type of technology, or dispel your misconceptions.

How to download and install a client to play on the World of Tanks test server

First of all, you need to wait until Wargaming starts working on the update. To do this, you just need to go to the official World of Tanks website and view the news feed several times a day. As soon as the test client opens, the developers will definitely notify the players about this event on the main page of the site, and you will be able to download the client to play the World of Tanks general test. This news looks like the screenshot below.

Update 9.20.1 is approaching its official release, and we are starting a new series of public tests. Participate in testing and evaluate changes that developers have been working on recently. Here is what will be available on the public test server:

• Rebalance of Tier X light tanks, as well as British and US vehicles.
• Reworked personal combat missions with a new interface and mechanics that allow you to complete them faster.
• Additional reward for high efficiency in battle - new ways to get bonds.

The changes can be found in detail in recent publications:

How to get into the general test?

Bonds and medals

Starting from 9.20.1, when winning medals in the Epic Achievements and Battle Hero categories, the player will receive additional rewards in the form of bonds. Please note: Bonds will not be credited for accumulative medals. The number of bonds is not final and may change.

Grand Battle Improvements

The following changes have been made to the General Battle battle type:

1. The message about victory or defeat in battle has changed.
   Added a new kind of battle victory or defeat message to make it easier for players to understand when and why the battle ended. The message has separate animations for win, lose and draw. Additional text shows why the fight ended. When a battle ends with the base captured, the capture progress bar goes into a "locked" state shortly before the message appears to indicate that the total will not change.
   This innovation has been applied to all Random and Ranked Battles, as well as Grand Battles.
2. Updated tooltips for rewards, which describe various acquisition conditions. In a standard, oncoming battle, and assault, the conditions are the same, but in a general battle, the requirements are higher.
3. Improved combat interface (HUD) in general battle.
   The transparency of the background of the panels with the list of players has been reduced to make the information easier to read on a light background (sky, water, etc.).
   Border symbols have been added to the top bar to improve readability.

Training Ground Improvements

Changes:

• Irrelevant options have been disabled in the context menus of the vehicle upgrade windows, the research tree, and the vehicle carousel.
• The rewards (credits and experience) for victories and defeats while passing the training ground have been balanced.
• The rewards for completing the training ground are now displayed in the notification center.
• Added a notification to players that they will not receive a reward when re-passing the training ground.
• The crew recruitment window has become more informative.

Corrections:

• Fixed a bug where some UI elements were displayed incorrectly in color blind mode.
• Fixed errors that occurred when saving and restoring settings (vehicle panel and sights) when the player entered the training ground and exited this mode.
• Fixed rendering of some game tips (unmasking when shooting, the need to return to the capture circle).
• Fixed a rare issue where the "Skip Tutorial" button was displayed incorrectly.
• The results of battles in the mode have been removed from the notification center.
• Fixed displaying of the EULA license window when restarting the game client.

Update 9.19 general test released

General information about the test server:

• Due to the large number of players on the test server, there is a limit on user login. All new players who wish to take part in the testing of the update will be queued and will be able to join the server as it becomes available.
• If the user changed their password after April 28, 2017 11:59 PM UTC, authorization on the test server will only be available with the password that was used before the specified time.

Test Server 9.19 Features:

• Payments to the test server are not made.
• In this testing, the earnings of experience and credits do not increase.
• Achievements on the test server will not be transferred to the main server.

We also inform you that during the testing of 9.19, scheduled technical work will be carried out on the test server:

• First server - 07:00 (Moscow time) daily. The average duration of work is 25 minutes.
• The second server - 8:00 (MSK) daily. The average duration of work is 25 minutes.

• Note! The test server is subject to the same rules as the main game server, and therefore, there are penalties for violating these rules in accordance with the User Agreement.
• The User Support Center does not review applications related to the Common Test.
• We remind you that the most reliable way to download the World of Tanks client, as well as its test versions and updates, is in a special section on the official game portal. By downloading the game from other sources, you expose your computer to the risk of malware infection. The development team is not responsible for links to the game client and updates (as well as their content) on third-party resources.

Participation in testing 9.19:

• Download (4 MB).
• Run the installer, which will download and install the 9.19 test client (7.45 GB for the SD version and an additional 4.85 GB for the HD version). When you run the installer, it will automatically offer to install the test client in a separate folder on your computer; you can also specify the installation directory yourself.
• If you have the previous test version (9.18_test3) installed, then when you start the general test launcher, it will be updated: 372 MB for the SD version and an additional 186 MB for the HD version.
• Please note that installing to a folder containing legacy test client files may cause technical problems.
• Run the installed test version.
• Only those players who registered in World of Tanks before 23:59 (UTC) on April 28, 2017 can take part in the test.

List of changes for the first public test 9.19:

• The "Company battle" mode has been removed from the game.
• The “Combat Brotherhood” and “Combat Friends” skills will work in mixed crews.
• Added a new mode - Ranked Battles
• Reworked combat missions:

  As part of the first iteration of the reworking of combat missions, the visual and functional part of the combat missions and promotions window was significantly changed.

  A new item "Combat missions" has appeared in the Garage, through which you can get to the corresponding screen. Combat missions are conditionally divided into three sections: strategic, tactical, as well as tasks for the selected vehicle.

  Strategic goals include tasks that require significant effort (for example, marathons).

  Tactical tasks include those that can be combined into certain groups according to their meaning (for example, daily combat missions, combat training, etc.).

  Each task is displayed as a tile, and all of them are conveniently sorted - the most priority ones are placed first. A detailed description of each task can be seen by expanding the tile. Thanks to the new representation of tasks in the Hangar interface, it will be much easier for you to understand them!

  Various promotions are constantly taking place in the game - in most of them, prices for vehicles, equipment, transfer of experience and much more are reduced. And now stocks are available from the "Shop" menu item. Each promotion is presented in the form of a tile with a detailed description of the item on which the discount applies, the amount of the discount, and other information. All tiles are interactive - by clicking on any of them, you can use the promotion offer directly in the game client.

• Clan management changes:

  In the new version, the possibilities for managing the clan will expand. Now, without leaving the game client, it will be possible to:

  • distribute gold from the clan treasury;
  • change the positions of clan players;
  • transfer control of the clan;
  • view extended statistics on clan players.

• Stronghold Improvements 1.6:

  The following medals, which were issued for activities in the Stronghold before version 9.17.1, have been moved to the Special category:

  • "Warrior";
  • "For decisive battles";
  • "Conqueror";
  • "Crusher of fortresses";
  • "Counterstrike".

• Voice Changes: Introduced female voice acting for all nations. Instead of the old version of the "national" voice acting in the settings window, you can now select the "commander" voice acting. The choice of "commander" voice acting makes voice notifications correspond not only to the nation, but also to the gender of the crew commander of the vehicle selected by the player. Thus, if the commander of your car is a girl, then the car itself will “speak” in a female voice.

• The following cars have been reworked in HD quality: KV-13, T-44, IS-2, BDR G1B, Renault FT 75 BS, Renault UE 57, Renault FT AC, Alecto, Excelsior, Vickers Mk.E Type B, STA -1, MTLS-1G14

• Tech changes:
  • Change in the German tech tree: Added tank for supertesters: Tiger 131
  • Change in the Chinese tech tree: Tanks added for supertesters - WZ-120-1G FT, WZ-120G FT
  • Change in the USSR tech tree: Added tank for supertesters: T-103

Instructions for downloading the test version of WoT

Download the World of Tanks test - this is exactly the problem faced by many players who do not really want to delve into the details, but want to try everything out as soon as possible. To download a test World of Tanks, just go to the official website in the appropriate section, and after performing simple operations, get a test client of the game on your computer. But sometimes it happens that when trying to download a test client there was an error, or the server stopped responding. What to do in such a situation? Fortunately, there is a solution to the problem, and it has several ways, in this article we will try to analyze all possible ways that will help you enjoy the test client.

To download the World of Tanks test from other resources, you need to remember a simple rule, which says that all files that you want to download and install on your computer must be posted on reliable sources, which in turn are confirmed by the developers themselves. Such sources include large fan resources for the game, as well as groups and websites of top clans that have been in the project for a very long time and have a positive reputation.

Various torrents, fake sites and other other sources can be dangerous for both your computer and your account. In most cases, all software posted there and the game client may contain malware that can damage the system or transfer your account information to third parties. Therefore, you can download from such resources only at your own peril and risk.

Testing on third-party resources

So what is the advantage of third-party resources that legally and honestly distribute the test client of the game? To be honest, there are a lot of positive things in them. When downloading, they never interrupt the connection, they very rarely crash, they immediately upload the full version of the test client without the need to update it and, accordingly, they have a much higher data transfer rate than on the official site. You can find out a detailed list of trusted fan resources on the official website in the "Fan Zone" section.

Thus, you got acquainted with the ability to download a test game even if the connection with the main server is broken. It is also worth noting that sometimes the desired file is posted on the fan resources of the game much earlier than the developers officially upload it. So now the priorities of the sources are visible to the naked eye, now you can accurately determine the place from where you will receive the necessary content.

enCore is a program that will help you check if your PC meets the minimum requirements for using HD graphics in World of Tanks.

World of Tanks Core

In the spring of 2018, World of Tanks 1.0 or World of Tanks Core is released. This is a completely new version of your favorite game with an improved graphics engine that will allow you to play World of Tanks on HD maps with realistic graphics. Installing WOT 1.0 will require a more powerful computer. Which one will help to find out the enCore program.

You can check whether your computer is suitable for installing World of Tanks 1.0 with the Core graphics engine right now using the enCore program. The program will demonstrate the capabilities of the new version of the game and measure the results of its processing on your PC.
