You’ve downloaded Update 1.0 and it’s time to start playing, but performance issues stop you from enjoying the game? We’re here to help you out. No matter your setup, here are some general tips on how to get your system up and running again.

Get the latest drivers for your graphics card

Both Nvidia, AMD, and Intel regularly update drivers for their respective cards. The latest drivers will usually improve performance, especially for the newest games. Head to their websites to find the latest version. Make sure to match the drivers to your operating system and your specific model of graphics card. If you’re not sure which card you have, both sites offer an automatic detection tool to get you the right package.

~ Sebastianul

From EU portal.

With an incredible array of HD maps and a new soundtrack, Update 1.0 may just be the biggest and most exciting update in the history of World of Tanks. Powering this epic visual content salvo is Core, our in-house graphics engine that breathes new life into locales with a host of new technologies. As the game switches to the new engine, graphic configurations get reset too. Don’t worry, we aren’t leaving you in the dark to navigate this by yourself. Today, we’ll explain how to tailor them to your PC and use auto-detect to enjoy the fierce beauty of tank combat to the fullest.

Update 1.0 Is Here

~ Sebastianul

From EU portal

After years of internal work, over a month of public testing—and then even more internal iteration—the biggest update in the history of World of Tanks is nearly upon us! It elevates the game to 2018 standards in graphics and sound with the switch to a completely new graphics engine, Core, and introduces a new authentic soundtrack. The result? The world has been totally reskinned. It has all the bones of the original but a radically different face: crisper graphics, more detailed textures, higher-resolution images, and tunes that are timed and matched perfectly with what’s happening in the game. Better still, we worked a lot on performance optimization, reducing the overall memory footprint of graphics so that everyone can enjoy new visuals.

The sheer number of improvements and the level of effort that went into making Update 1.0 is comparable to the release of a completely new game. And today, we’re bringing you a deeper look into what you can expect to find when you launch the game tomorrow.

World of Tanks servers will be down on 21 March from 01:30 to 09:30 CET (UTC+1) to get everything in order.

Current Premium players will be credited an additional 24 hours of Premium Account time to make up for the maintenance period. If you’d like to make any in-game purchases, please wait until the servers are up and running again.
