[TIP] How to change server and play WoWs on all servers (EU, NA, RU, Asia) using one game client

[Haatra]

You don't need to download and to install game client for every region. Do it so:

 

1. You have to be registerred on server where you want to play
2. Switch off WoWs game client
3. Go to WoWs game folder and there to res subfolder (for expamle c:\Games\World_of_Warships\res\ )
4. Make backup copy of file scripts_config.xml
5. Download this file (    scripts_config.zip   566bytes ), unpack it and put it to res subfolder
6. Start WoWs game client, choose server where you want play and enjoy

 

 

 

 

Notes:

 

1. Alternativelly you may edit scripts_config.xml file manually by adding next lines (displayed by blue color) to this file

 

<scripts_config.xml checkPing="true" debugInfo="true">
    <space>spaces/ocean</space>
    <offlineModel>PASD010_Fletcher_1942</offlineModel>
    <player entityType="Avatar" startDirection="1.0 0.0 0.0" startPosition="0.0 0.0 -313.0"/>
    <cursorScaleSpeed x="40" y="40"/>
    <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"/>
        <login>piksel</login>
        <password>login1</password>
    </server>
    <chat visibleLines="6"/>
    <writeCombatLog>true</writeCombatLog>
    <Dock3D>true</Dock3D>
    <CurseVoice>false</CurseVoice>
    <scriptProfiler address="0.0.0.0" enabled="true" netSend="false" port="6666"/>
    <GameParams packed="true"/>
    <disableTrainingRoom>false</disableTrainingRoom>
</scripts_config.xml>

 

2. Please check one more time that:

 

• for EU server you wrote .eu domain suffix
• for NA server you wrote .com domain suffix
• for RU server you wrote .ru domain suffix
• for Asia server you wrote .jp domain suffix

 

3. Do backup of the modified file scripts_config.xml as

 

• a new patch may set the game client back to one server only
• change of client language will modify scripts_config.xml to one server only

 

4. If you have message about different game versions (client vs. server) then try to connect later. All regional servers are updated at different times.

 

5. When you choose "Check game integrity" from launcher then launcher will roll-back original scripts_config.xml which don't allow players to connect to other regions. Therefore after checking integrity you have to edit/replace scripts_config.xml again.

For registration to all servers you may use the same e-mail address. Password may be the same or different - as you want. You cannot login to EU server with NA account (if you have on NA and EU the same e-mail but different passwords).

It works, I and my friends have been using it without any problems for long time at all 4 regional servers.

well the thing is, with the edited file as mentioned above, i can select EU on the client, but i can only put in the e-mail address and not my different account-names :-/

do you say different passwords would log me onto EU servers?

edit:

just did that; changed pw from EU account, switched in client to EU tried to log in with EU password... game says doesn't exist or is wrong... can log into NA client with NA account, can also log in when selected EU with NA account... game says EU client but people ingame ensure me it's NA servers

no offense, but i am not sure you understood my problem

You may register with the same e-mail to all servers or you may register to each server with different e-mail. As you want.

 

You may use the same password for all servers or you may use different password for each server. As you want.

 

At logging screen you may choose server where you want to play, you have to fill in e-mail (not account name) used for registration at this server and relevant password.

No problem, sorry for misunderstanding.

 

Try to check your scripts_config.xml if you see there exactly what is written below:

 

        <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"/>

 

If you choose EU server at login and you are connected to NA then the problem is there.

[Kadaverjunki3]

lol i got it

i had the NA client downloaded and filled it in but not in that particular order xD

thank you for making me look close at it again

(had NA in the first line and EU in the second and by switching EU into the first line i missed the "com" and "eu")

[Redeath]

I modify the script file but it doesnt work... i become the message wrong password or email...

You have to be registerred on server where you want to play. You cannot login to other server if you do not have created account there. E-mail and password could be the same on all servers.

 

If you are registerred on another server and you forget password then reset it.

[Redeath]

Ahh OK thanks... its sunday and im a little bit slow mentally

not working anymore.   One simply CANT use the same mail anymore  to register on different servers. We are forced to use different mails to register on different servers - thats mind if you want to use your own account to play on a different server -  you need to create a new one, thats mind you start from scratch.  And sure you need another Premium - if you have on the older account .       I fear the post its dead...

It works flawlessly by editing the file. 

 

Same e-mail and password as my European account. I just logged-in to NA server (I opened an account there a while ago to read the forums more comfortably) and played a few Erie battles with 0 problems.

[_Nuro_]

seems to be working for me without issue.

 

I had registered on EU and NA when i was playing WoT more often and with WoWs i am using the same login for both servers.

 

All the upgrades, ships etc all still in tact and working on both servers.

 

Great info, easy to implement, thanks alot.

[Gazzass]

Is it possible to have same ships and so on I have on my EU server to use on NA server?? if so.. hwo do I do this? I can log on ti NA server and Eu server but now I have 2 EU logins (1 will be deleted soon) but tis lvl 3 (deleted soon)  and lvl 8

Hmmm, I ranked up on the NA server, got the login working for the EU server but lost all NA privileges. Did you do anything else besides adding the extra server lines?

​

[JapLance]

This is to log-in to any of the servers with the same client, but you can't have in one server the ships you have in another. They are independent accounts.

 

When I logged-in to my NA account for the first time, I only got the Erie and the Hashidate, even when I had like 7 or 8 ships and some gold in my EU account.

Ah oke, thank you. Got confused when nuro said "All the upgrades, ships etc all still in tact and working on both servers.", so I thought he meant all at any server ;)

[gusior1]

hi all i have a problem i live in UK and i have onley NA server i wont to play on EU server i switch the file after the update and i cant log in on EU i got the mesage that client is difrent from server version <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"/>

 

[cosworth1977]

Same problem here.  

Cant connect with eu client to EU only to NA.  Tried my original install for eu and added the lines and then getting the message  client is different of server version.  With that version i can connect to EU but not to NA

 So they changed something to make NA and Eu client different.

 

Edit.  i think i have found the problem.  Eu and NA have different client version.

Info taken out of the game launcher

 

NA game version

<client_ver>41.114619</client_ver>
    <content_ver>41.114619</content_ver>

EU launcher 

<client_ver>40.114146</client_ver>
    <content_ver>40.107940</content_ver>

 

So there is really something different in version for EU and NA 

[Beurlys]

I have the same problem. After todays update (patch ?), I can only play on the NA server. When I try to connect the EU Server, I get the following message :

 

Error Connecting Server

The currently installed version of the game is older than that of the server. Please update the client.

Eu dont have the patch yet   Downloaded the EU client for nothing

 

 

 

 

[Beurlys]

So it's just a matter of waiting for the patch ?

 

Good thing that I didn't download the EU client yet.

[Haatra]

Your problems was caused as NA server was updated to version 0.4.1 as the first one. On EU server was still "old" version 0.4.0.7. You probably missed this notice from guide:

 

...

 

4. If you have message about different game versions (client vs. server) then try to connect later. All regional servers are updated at different times.

 

 

Now - after update EU server to the version 0.4.1 - it is OK and the guide is working in version 0.4.1 as intended and without any problems.
