Hello Goktsu, Many months ago in Alpha I wrote a guide on how to use Training and the bots. When forming an enemy team of bots (or allied for that case) you have 2 options to check, armed and active, So, you could choose a bot to be both active and armed, active only, static or static and armed only.

Hopefully the below quote from the upcoming patch notes will deal with AFK'ers (bots) in ranked. You are I am afraid a bit of a rarity. The majority will solo just doing their 'thing' and only tend to coagulate when the teams get reduced. I do tend to throw out questions but most of the time you are met with silence (or currently a deluge of those 'F' key audio messages). Yes, the higher you go it tends to get better but even in tier 7 now I am seeing more of what you describe, poor coordinated team play. We will just have to carry on trying........

When blue screen was mentioned immediately it rang alarm bells for a hardware issue. What is important here is what the blue screen error message has said, if you can try again and see if you can write down the contents of the message that will help. The second error you mention regarding the WoWs error message, does it contain anything similar to the below? More information is needed, like how long were you playing WoWs when getting the 'blue screen'? All error message details etc. You did mention you have ensured updating the necessary latest drivers, have you tried installing DirectX again as well? Stress check your PC components to try to eliminate a possible culprit; RAM - MemTest86 CPU - Prime95 GPU - 3DMark Can you try a different GPU in your rig? As replied already. it is highly unlikely the OS is the problem as many pieces of software had to be updated for use with Win 10 (I use a PC with Win 10 64). Get back after you have tried these suggestions.

I have only had 2 battles today and although the battles were won it certainly was not down to my overwhelming performance. Took the Konigsberg out and although I spammed nearly 200 HE shells it resulted in one kill and only 20k damage. Don't get me on how easily it was to burn and get damaged either! Ah, the Nurnberg, 3 full salvoes onto an enemy Phoenix, 8 hits for a total of 2k damage, Phoenix hits me with one shell for 3.5k damage, takes my steering and engine out and sets me alight! Ran for my life and ended up sniping for the rest of the battle fearing any ship that had anything resembling a shotgun for a gun. Oh they look good, those triple turrets look like they mean serious business but as they currently stand, well I guess it better wait until you can sail them!

Ok, in your eyes what is a 'noob'? What makes you think you are far superior in giving good signals? Firstly, you are still relatively new to the game (less than 300 battles at time of posting) and limiting your 'experience' by sailing half of your battles in CV's. So, from that are you annoyed by following another players 'spotting' of the map only to find it was fruitless flying your aircraft there? That in mind you should be spotting for your team.

This. Also you will find you will have the most fun with German cruisers at the lower tiers!

Me, me, me!

All I will add is that their guns are their only saving grace. At least the high tier USN DDs have reasonable torpedoes. But nothing will settle this until more get them post release.

Anyway, the OP was p*ssed and it was early so it is a moot point (the losses not him being p*ssed ) I did have 10 losses in a row once but now if I lose 2 in a row I walk away for a coffee, I have found it stops over concentrating and obviously the feeling of disappointment especially if you have done well in those losses. Anyway, the OP is pretty decent so I am sure the results will soon get overturned.

Hello, apart from the mod you can edit the particular file yourself. What ever drive you have the game installed on go to - Games\World_of_Warships\res and open (with notepad or similar) scripts_config.xml Look for this part of the code; <server online="true"> <host addr="login.worldofwarships.eu:20020" alias="WOWS EU"/> </server> To add the other server addresses check the code below and add servers that you require; <host addr="login.worldofwarships.com:20020" alias="WoWS NA"/> <host addr="login.worldofwarships.ru:20020" alias="WoWS RU"/> <host addr="login.worldofwarships.jp:20020" alias="WoWS Asia"/> So it looks like this; <server online="true"> <host addr="login.worldofwarships.eu:20020" alias="WOWS EU"/> <host addr="login.worldofwarships.com:20020" alias="WoWS NA"/> <host addr="login.worldofwarships.ru:20020" alias="WoWS RU"/> <host addr="login.worldofwarships.jp:20020" alias="WoWS Asia"/> </server> After editing and saving make a copy of the file as any further update will overwrite. Hope this was of some help.

mtm, Elgerino is in fact a voice of reason and intelligence, it is nice to see someone who can post something so balanced. If I were you I would leave the concern to the developers as it is in their interest to ensure any illegal modification is nullified.

Well, you have had 11 battles, so I will assume that you suddenly had this issue. Before you start the game, delete your preferences.xml file (Games\World_of_Warships\preferences.xml). Restart your game, you will have to re-enter your details and change any settings that you had done previously, Let us know if you are successful.

Hello All, Those who have entered so far (and those yet to enter), thank you. I really appreciate your efforts. I am looking forward to seeing the results as I see many have had great fun along the way. Battle on! Duca

Try winning one with my competition

You are really paranoid aren't you? Try accepting there are players that are able to aim, and I am one of them. You have hardly played this game, yes less than 350 battles does not make you an experienced and well judged player. If you feel there are other influences that are affecting your game stop blaming what you know little of.

Is your AV blocking it from launching the main game exe?

Care to elaborate? If only you knew what I and the others in the team do for the players benefit. I even go one step further and do something for the community, what do you do other than insult, provoke and little else? I suggest trying to be a little more polite. The testing we do is not for 'nothing', if it was deemed to be for nothing there would be no need for testing teams. Currently we have all the German and Russian lines to test on the live server to collate data and from that data any changes needed will be made. Vulgarny, on 04 October 2015 - 12:02 PM, said: They gave Hakuryuu to quite good players with 15+ lvl captains so it was tested properly. Now they gave those ships to supertesters without captains. -.- If this was your effort at ridiculing the ST team it was poor. Try being a little more constructive on the forums please instead of this continuous slating of the ST team.

Why are you being personal when the conversation is supposed to be about the ships? I suggest raising your game here on the forums to match those out in battle and maybe you will garner some respect.

Hello Vulgarny, have you actually sailed her? No? Well I have many times already, and what you have said is absolute baloney. She (and all the Russian DD's) is primarily a gunboat and should be treated as such and the only way of having mediocre success is to act like a vulture and target the wounded. Heaven help you if you are spotted though and you will be with the air filled with planes. She is weak and a Des Moines will snack upon Khabarovsk in a same way a trucker will with a bacon sandwich. Oh for the doom mongers this forum would be a quieter place

Well, apart from sounding like Sergeant Fraser from Dads Army I am not sure what you expect from such a very young game? A year ago, as an early Alpha tester there was only a couple of hundred of us fortunate to test this game. It remained closed to all until invites until closed beta in March this year and open beta around July (age clouds my mind as for correct dates!). Sure, 'official release' has now happened but we all know was more of a paper exercise rather than a grand opening (another subject dealt with elsewhere) and further development is still ongoing. Yes, more interaction is needed with much more frequent posts from the community managers (even if it is just to say hi and we are very busy working on things) but as for the overall 'complaints' in your OP I would say most are wider of the mark than a Kawachi salvo!

I am hoping you are not as old as your nickname suggests as if you are you are not being reasonable. I am a cruiser captain and am happy with the 'power' I have over DD's. I have never been sunk by a DD in a cruiser and understand the difficulties they have. Any good DD player deserves good praise as it is very hard to be consistently successful in one. I suggest playing in one more often and then report back, until then keep an open mind.

Oh dear oh dear, players suffering getting hit and pointing fingers. The only way you will ever validly support your concerns is with a replay and nothing less. I have to smile as I have just come out of a battle with a tier 3 ship (the only one on our team) in a tier 5 battle, 281 shell hits and 4 tier 5 ships sunk, not one claimed of any undue assistance regarding my aiming. This is of course a moot point but what I will say that some players are actually pretty damned accurate and regularly too.

To balance your argument we would have to limit all ammunition on all ships, is that reasonable? Of course not. But, you missed a vital point and that is reload time which in itself is an ammunition limiter. Back to the OP. DD's above tier 6 have come to be a little flaccid of late and are in fact so very hard to play well. I am fortunate to be testing some new ships which include tier 10 DD's and I can assure you that they are not as influential as you describe. Unless you want to be shredded by a cruiser you have to stay out of spotting range and rely on those torpedoes you fear so much. But, you can spot them soon enough to evade, only if you remain unobservant will you become victim to them. I am primarily a cruiser player and I have no problem in nullifying any DD that comes within spotting range or becomes spotted by me. With that, I have got the greatest respect for any dedicated DD captain out there.

Well, 3 out of 4 games is hardly statistically sound is it? Draws are legitimate, firstly due to neither side completing the objective of that particular battle mode. Also, you have massive experience in the Kuma (248 battles out of your 624 battle total) so you would have known of your ships capability of returning to a cap in a suitable amount of time. Why are you being sarcastic when someone actually laid out a polite response? No matter what tier you play, always study the map and not just what appears in your scope of view. For a match to become a draw is not a failing of the game but the players within that battle themselves. Fortunately with modified game modes draws are very much less frequent and as for lower tiers which was the focus of you OP, they are fine. I, through testing new ships have played more lower tier battles than you care to mention and none resulted in a draw. Again, not a pure statistical representation, but a complete opposite experience as to what you had, but pretty much gives a more representative example than yours. Bottom line is, look at the map more often during the battle to watch enemy movements and make decisions based on that, you may actually do better in future!

I loved the 'cola, if you are concerned now wait until you get to the New Orleans! Follow noodles link to get better advice on how to play the 'cola, you will learn to lover her You are obviously playing her wrong then.
