When is the next general test of World of Tank? Test the new engine

When it is time to run a public test, an appropriate announcement will be published on the World of Tanks website. Shortly after, the developers will release a test version of the client. This can be downloaded by following. Make sure that you follow all of the instructions carefully, so that you don’t accidentally cause problems to your main play account.

Your test client account will usually be a copy of your play account, meaning that all the vehicles purchased and the research that you have completed will be the same. However, please note:

The test account is completely separate from your normal account. Achievements and research that you complete on the test client will not be carried over to your play account.
Financial transactions are not possible on the test server and payments will not be accepted.
Depending on the needs of the test, your test account may be credited with gold, credits and/or experience.

The test server is subject to the same EULA and general rules as the World of Tanks game server. This means that you still need to play nice or you will face the usual consequences in the same way as you would on the official game server.

All test accounts will receive a one-time credit of:

100,000,000
100,000,000
20,000

The rate at which you gain credits and experience will not be increased for the test unless stated otherwise in the appropriate announcement.

Feedback

Once you have logged into the test client, you are free to play as much or as little as you want. We encourage you to try out all the new features and see what you can do!

Once you have been playing for a while, please let us know your feedback by posting in the dedicated forum threads. These threads are divided into two categories: bug reports and general feedback about the test version . The appropriate links will be provided in the respective announcement. The community managers will collect up all your responses on the thread and send them to the developers.

The sort of feedback we are particularly interested in includes:

Any bugs or glitches that you have found in the game. Got stuck in the scenery? Game crashes when you do a certain action? Tell us all about it!
Honest feedback about vehicles and game mechanics. If you think something doesn’t function well, then please tell us.
Anything you particularly like? Do you love the new stats for a previously underpowered vehicle? Confirm to the developers that the community is now satisfied with that feature, letting them focus on other new improvements.

How to Join the Public Test

In order to join a test, please follow these instructions:

Download the test client installer (the link will be provided in the announcement)
Make sure you pick a save location that is different to your regular World of Tanks game files. Save and run the installer.
Run the new copy of the game. The launcher will download all the additional data (the amount of data may vary).
Log in and start playing. Remember to post your feedback in the appropriate forum threads.

Please be aware of the following:

In order to make the test experience more efficient, it may be necessary to limit the number of players on the test server. If the server is full when you log in, you’ll be placed into a queue.

The test server will be restarted regularly, according to the following schedule:

First Periphery: every EVEN day of the month. Average duration will be around 25 minutes.
Second Periphery: every ODD day of the month. Average duration will be around 25 minutes.
Central Database: every day. Average duration will be around 2 or 3 minutes.

The test server may be subject to unscheduled restarts and maintenance.

IMPORTANT: Please remember that it is a test server. This means that you may encounter bugs and temporary features. Everything in the test version could change before the final release.

How to take part in testing
DOWNLOAD THE SPECIAL INSTALLER
Run the installer, which will download and install the test version of the client 1.0.1 (10 GB for the SD version and an additional 7 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 (1.0) installed, then when you launch the general test launcher it will be updated: 1.01 GB for the SD version and an additional 430 MB for the HD version.
Please note: Installing in 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 (Moscow time) on April 7, 2018 can take part in the test.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Due to the large number of players on the test server, there is a restriction on user entry. All new players who want to take part in testing the update will be placed in a queue and will be able to log onto the server as it becomes available.
If the user changed the password after 23:59 (Moscow time) on April 7, 2018, authorization on the test server will only be available using the password that was used before the specified time.

Peculiarities
Payments are not made to the test server.
In this testing, earnings of experience and credits do not increase.
Achievements on the test server will not transfer to the main server.
We would also like to inform you that during testing of 1.0, scheduled technical work will be carried out on the test servers (25 minutes per server):

First server - 05:00 (Moscow time)
Second server - 05:30 (Moscow time)
Third server - 06:00 (Moscow time)
Note! The test server is subject to the same rules as the main game server, and therefore penalties for violating these rules apply in accordance with the License Agreement.
We remind you: 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 a 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.

Very soon, players can expect a new patch – 9.20, which means a lot of innovations. Traditionally, before a patch is released, developers launch a test server, with the help of which everyone can see and try all the changes without any impact on their own statistics.

The test server is downloaded as a separate client, where, as on your main client, you need to enter the data of a valid account under which you will test the update.

The test version of the game exists so that players can try out the future patch and, if possible, notice all the errors and bugs so that the developers can fix them before the patch is released.

How to become a World of Tanks 0.9.20 tester?

Everything here is quite simple - you just need to download the test client installer on the official website of the game or from our website (link at the end of the article), wait for installation and log in under your name.

By the way, every player who gets to the test server gets to use 20 thousand gold, 100 million free experience and silver per account, so that everyone can try any tank in the game. After the test server closes, all gold, experience and money will disappear, and the account statistics will remain the same - the test does not affect it at all, it works like a separate game.

What changes will be in the new patch 0.9.20?

The most important update will be a branch of new Swedish tanks: a mixed and full-fledged tank destroyer branch with unique vehicles at the top levels. Many Tier VIII premium tanks will be upgraded. The three and two gauge rules will be redone. Eleven tanks will receive new and colorful HD models.

Updated (11-07-2019, 22:59): third test 1.6

The test server in the game World of Tanks 1.6 is a regular server where new maps, features, tanks and other innovations of the game are tested. It is impossible to get to the WOT test server when the player wants it - it opens only at a certain time, when the game developers need it.

The test is open!

What is a test server and why is it needed?

Test server is a repository where a copy is stored and reproduced, but with some changes. Of course, before making any changes to the game, they must first be tested.
The first to see the changes are the staff of WOT developers, then they give access to super-testers. If there are any shortcomings, they are corrected and the version of the new client is tested under load. The test version of the client is uploaded to the backup server and made available to everyone. Once again, the development staff is looking for errors and shortcomings. Afterwards, they fix and “roll out” a new version of the client.

How to get to the WOT test server

To get to the test server you need to download a special installer 1.6 or install Wargaming Game Center. After that, launch it. He will offer to download a test client - download it and install it. Next, a folder will be created World_of_Tanks_CT(in the directory where the player specified during installation).

Everything is ready to launch! Click on the test client shortcut and you will be taken to the authorization page and login to the game. Log in with your nickname and password and select one of two test servers.

Features test. Servers

Each player is awarded 20,000 gold, 100,000,000 free experience, and 100,000,000 silver at a time.
Everything you earn and buy on the test server will never transfer to the main one.

What's new in 1.6?

High-level British light tanks;
Changing the conditions of personal combat missions;
Change in appearance;
Disables damage to allies.

Video review of general test 1.6

World of Tanks enCore is a demo program of the Core graphics engine, which will soon be used by the online tank action World of Tanks. By running World of Tanks enCore on your computer, you can get an idea of how productive World of Tanks with the Core engine will be on it.

Like the Core engine, World of Tanks enCore is completely developed inside Wargaming - by the World of Tanks PC team.

Core will greatly improve the appearance of World of Tanks. After the game is transferred to Core, almost all the contents of the maps - landscape, water, vegetation, lighting, shadows, clouds, buildings and other objects - will be replaced with new ones, developed from scratch.

The program offers a choice of three quality presets: “Minimal”, “Medium”, “Ultra”. These are World of Tanks graphic presets on the new Core engine, so their names (and number) differ from those familiar to players in the current World of Tanks client: “Minimum”, “Low”, “Medium”, “High” and “Maximum”. In some cases, World of Tanks enCore may recommend a lower level of graphics settings than what you are currently using in World of Tanks. (For example, you might be playing on Max right now and still get a Medium enCore instead of an Ultra.)

Quality presets - “Minimum”, “Medium” and “Ultra” - differ in screen resolution and quality of textures, lighting, shadows, landscape, water, particles, etc. In all presets you can change the resolution, and the “Medium” and “Ultra” presets can be customized by such a parameter as anti-aliasing. A special gear icon will be displayed next to the parameter values that have been changed. When comparing the result shown by your computer in World of Tanks enCore with others, you should take into account the preset, as well as the set resolution and anti-aliasing.

No, the restriction on customizing presets applies only to enCore. World of Tanks offers the widest possible choice of graphic settings now and will continue to offer it in the future.

Most likely, either our enCore or your video driver crashed. Please contact support (https://ru.wargaming.net/support/).

First of all, don't panic. First download enCore and try all the settings. We pay a lot of attention to Core optimization - especially for low and medium performance machines.

You can focus on this result, but there will not be complete compliance.

Since the World of Tanks enCore program is not a benchmark, it evaluates computer performance in points. The scores adequately reflect the power of the computer and make it possible to compare your results with others. If your computer scores 10,000 points, this is an excellent result, meaning that the selected preset will not have any “lags” or sharp drops in FPS. A score of 8001 and above (“gold”) is excellent, 3001–8000 points (“silver”) is good, and up to 3000 points (“bronze”) is acceptable.

If you run World of Tanks enCore on a laptop with a discrete and integrated video card, the program will automatically launch on the discrete video card. If this does not happen, specify in the video card driver settings so that enCore runs using a discrete video card. If you are using a solution with multiple video cards (nVIDIA SLI, AMD CrossFire or similar), the program may not work correctly. World of Tanks enCore is optimized for the use of a single video card.

World of Tanks enCore supports Windows XP SP3/Vista/7/8/10.

The same as the main World of Tanks client. You can watch them on the official website of the game (https://worldoftanks.ru/ru/content/docs/download/).

Some antiviruses may block World of Tanks enCore.

The program may not have taken into account some processes that were running on your computer and consuming system resources. For this reason, we recommend that you refrain from watching videos, combat sessions in World of Tanks or other games, scanning your machine with an antivirus, and other processes that load the system. For users with laptops, we also recommend plugging them into a power outlet.

We will inform you about this later. The very appearance of World of Tanks enCore is a sign that the game will be transferred to Core soon.
