Trading Caravan – No Compensation

~ Sebastianul ~ 30 Comments

Almost 2 weeks ago we posted an article showcasing the possibility of recovering your lost credits. Unfortunately this was no longer the case, WG started denying everyone after people took notice of this. Some readers got affected too, here are 2 examples:

Hello,
since I’m a rather common player, I decided to bring your attention to the mess currently going between me and Wargaming, hoping to get some stronger voice and spotlight on the situation. Because I really think this is over the line and a fraud, masked as incompetence.
Also I’m sending you translation of the conversation to English below (from Czech) – it’s a google translator followed by some of my edits to make it useful and as close as I can, since I already lost quite some time over this.

WoT Battle Pass – Loading issues

~ Sebastianul ~ 12 Comments

Some of you may encounter problems with the Battle Pass stuck on loading.

If you encounter this issue simply delete the cache and game settings:

  1. Press Windows key + R.
  2. Type %appdata%\wargaming.net\WorldOfTanks.
  3. Press Enter.
  4. Delete:
    Preferences.xml – resets your game settings (graphics, audio, controls and so on.)
    Custom_data – force a client side refresh of your clan emblems.
    The rest – resets the game cache.

We hope that this will help.

Armoured Archives Fundraiser – Help buy a new graphics card!

~ Sebastianul ~ 28 Comments

Note: this is unrelated to the conflict in Ukraine. Please also donate to other charities in order to help the refugees escape safely.

Our friends at Armoured Archives need some help. They cannot produce videos about the history of obscure tanks anymore, because Ed Francis’s computer broke. You can help him get a new GPU, it’s the last thing that needs to be bought in order to restart YouTube videos production. (only 310 GBP is still needed!)

https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-get-a-new-graphics-card

„Hi guys and girls

My name’s Ed, host and creator of the YouTube channel Armoured Archives. It’s a small but growing channel covering armoured vehicles and other oddities found in the archives and helping to cover rare vehicles and share forgotten information with people who are unable to travel to sites or just have a desire to learn more on the subject.
Sadly, my PC did its best to kill itself three weeks ago, losing a power pack and CPU, I have managed to replace those, but it seems that the GPU also died, I am unable to afford a GPU as other than a small amount from YouTube, which is often just enough to cover trips to said archives, I live off my incapacity benefit, which covers just enough for food and bills.
I’m asking if anyone wishes to throw a few quid into this so that I can begin saving up for a new GPU for this PC so that I can continue making videos for people and help share some of the wonderful finds that have been found over the years.
Anything and everything is helpful at this stage.
Cheers”
