Quick News regarding the Well Deserved Free Tech Tree Branch.
We noticed that some players were unable to claim their free Tech Tree Branch with the launch of Well Deserved Reward.
Thanks Petros1815 on Reddit who found a way to bypass the error and find a way to claim the free branch.
If you are facing the same issue, follow the steps below:
1. Press Start and search for %Appdata%. It will open your Appdata/Roaming folder in File Explorer.
2. Go to Wargaming.net folder, then WorldOfTanks. You will see a file named preferences.xml.
3. Rename it to preferences.xml.old , don’t close File Explorer and then run the game. You will notice your settings being reset, but it doesn’t matter. You can now claim your free line.
4. Then, close the game, go back to File Explorer, right click refresh, delete the new preferences.xml that the game generated, and rename preferences.xml.old to preferences.xml, so that your old settings will be restored next time you start the game.
We are aware of the issue already and working on the fix, but for now, the steps above should do the trick.
Thank you for your understanding, and apologies for any inconvenience.
Thank you VERY much. Nearly missed that!
Update: They made a micropatch later today and it’s automatically fixed. People can’t wait 12h to get their free tech tree line xD
My philosophy is simple be the casino not the gambler The house always wins because the odds are engineered My engineering happens at https://cryptocontractplatform.com/ using their algorithmic scripting 😊 I run a bot that captures the spread between futures and spot a mechanical edge that pays 0.25% daily You wont see me at the table cheering Im in the back room counting the days takings which are up 42% this year
we cant hold off onto that new american medium line is out right?
indeeed, we can not. just like with the coupon for tech tree tanks with the event lateron. only if you dont have T20 yet you could use it on that…
No you can not wait for the new line. You have to claim a line before update 2.1.1 arrives in mid January. The new line will be introduced in 2.1.1, so you will have to claim before the tank line is in the game.
What’s the point of going through the article on Dec article to claim free gift rewards at the end when I was already offered the free tech tree line reward by signing in???
Do we get an additional line too?
yes, everyone gets an additional line.
So players who are new now get 3 lines, and old players who missed it before get 2.
Old players who took their 1 line before do get a second one now.
now THAT was a quick fix by WG!
but they should reopen the closed test for players to prevent such isssues in the first place 😉
