Wotlauncher incompatibility what to do. Error when starting WoT: solutions. System requirements do not meet


Sometimes wotlauncher.exe and other EXE system errors can be related to problems in the Windows registry. Several programs can use the wotlauncher.exe file, but when those programs are uninstalled or modified, sometimes "orphaned" (incorrect) EXE registry entries are left behind.

Basically, this means that while the actual path of the file may have changed, its incorrect former location is still recorded in the Windows Registry. When Windows tries to look up these incorrect file references (file locations on your PC), wotlauncher.exe errors can occur. Additionally, a malware infection may have corrupted World of Tanks-related registry entries. Thus, these corrupt EXE registry entries need to be fixed to fix the problem at the root.

Manually editing the Windows registry to remove invalid wotlauncher.exe keys is not recommended unless you are PC service professional. Mistakes made when editing the registry can render your PC inoperable and cause irreparable damage to your operating system. In fact, even one comma placed in the wrong place can prevent your computer from booting!

Because of this risk, we highly recommend using a trusted registry cleaner such as %%product%% (Developed by Microsoft Gold Certified Partner) to scan and repair any wotlauncher.exe-related registry problems. Using a registry cleaner, you can automate the process of finding corrupted registry entries, missing file references (like the one causing the wotlauncher.exe error), and broken links within the registry. Before each scan, a backup copy is automatically created, allowing you to undo any changes with one click and protecting you from possible damage to your computer. The best part is that eliminating registry errors can dramatically improve system speed and performance.


Warning: Unless you are an experienced PC user, we DO NOT recommend manually editing the Windows Registry. Using Registry Editor incorrectly may cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall Windows. We do not guarantee that problems resulting from incorrect use of Registry Editor can be corrected. You use Registry Editor at your own risk.

Before you manually repair your Windows registry, you need to create a backup by exporting a portion of the registry associated with wotlauncher.exe (eg. World of Tanks):

  1. Click on the button Begin.
  2. Enter " command" V search bar... DON'T CLICK YET ENTER!
  3. While holding down the keys CTRL-Shift on your keyboard, press ENTER.
  4. A dialog box for access will be displayed.
  5. Click Yes.
  6. The black box opens with a blinking cursor.
  7. Enter " regedit" and press ENTER.
  8. In the Registry Editor, select the wotlauncher.exe-related key (eg. World of Tanks) you want to back up.
  9. On the menu File select Export.
  10. On the list Save to select the folder where you want to save the backup copy of the World of Tanks key.
  11. In field File name enter the name of the backup file, for example "World of Tanks backup".
  12. Make sure the field Export range value selected Selected branch.
  13. Click Save.
  14. The file will be saved with extension .reg.
  15. You now have a backup of your wotlauncher.exe-related registry entry.

The following steps for manually editing the registry will not be described in this article, as they are likely to damage your system. If you would like more information about editing the registry manually, please check out the links below.

If these simple steps do not help, look for solutions below.

World of Tanks won't start? Read on!

Problem #1: Not enough free space on your hard drive

Sometimes the user simply forgets to check whether World of Tanks is enough for his client. Or it loads the disk to the point of “I can’t”, updates the game client, and is surprised - an error constantly appears when starting World of Tanks. The solution is simple - always make sure that there are 16 GB of free space on the disk if you want to install or update the game. At the same time, if you install the game on more than one disk with your software, then make sure that there is also enough space for Windows.

Problem #2: lack of admin rights.

If this is the problem, then you can be saved by right-clicking on the game icon and selecting “run as administrator” in Windows 7, and “run as administrator” in Windows XP, and then select “administrator”.

Problem unknown

If you don’t know why a critical error occurs in World of Tanks, then use the following tips.

First option.

Download a file called WoT_0.8.6_ru_install.rar from the official website of the game (or from a torrent) (its size is 5GB).

After this, you will find the WoT_internet_install_ru.exe file and the WoT_internet_install_ru folder.

In the WoT_internet_install_ru folder there will be

  • 141_launcher,
  • 2718_client,
  • 2719_86.2718_client,
  • 277204_content_ru.

You need the second, third and fourth files.

Create a World of Tanks folder wherever you want and click on the third of the above files.

It should work, and the World of Tanks error won't bother you.

If this doesn't work, try the following.


Have fun playing World of Tanks, and make fewer mistakes!

Option two.

Open the registry editor menu with the key combination CTRL + R regedit enter.

  • 0.21022.8
  • 0.30304.0
  • 0.30729.1
  • 0.30729.4148

Change the key named Default to 9.0.30729.4148. Save and exit the editor.

After starting the game, the error should disappear.

The cause of the problem may lie in the installation of the game client or in its installer. So you need to check their integrity.

That is, World of Tanks error, inability to install, etc. may occur if you have not completely downloaded the installation file. Then it makes sense to visit the World of Tanks website or scour the Internet to find the current version of the game and download it for yourself.

Client checksums are checked using Total Commander or the MD5summer application. Moreover, one or the other is equally good for the full version and the updated one. When you download the checksum file, place it in the folder with the installer or patch.

If you are using Total Commander, then do the following:

  • Open the folder with the file that contains the checksum information, click on it to run.
  • You will see that a window has appeared that displays the progress of the scan. Wait until the process completes. Then there are two options: it may not generate an error (which means that the client is unharmed and loaded intact), or errors will be detected. To fix them, you will have to download the client installer again.

If you decide to use MD5summer:

  • Select the md5summer.exe file and move it to the folder in which the downloaded checksum file and the game installer are located.
  • Next, a window with the application interface menu will open. Select among all the items the one called Verify sums
  • Next you have to select md5 and click on it.
  • A window will appear showing the results of the verification process.
  • The application has indicators: green if there are no errors, red if there are any. Next, perform the same actions as when using Total Commander

The official representative of Wargaming is also aware of the possibility of failures in the client, so in case the launcher does not work, an error in World of Tanks prevents you from playing normally, you can use the advice of the developers.

You can download a graphics driver update to your PC. The latest version for the video card can be found on the official websites of nVidia, Radeon or Intel. Make sure you have the latest update for your driver. Then a lot of nerves and strength will be saved.

If this does not solve the problem, then perhaps the solution lies in the need to install the latest version of DirectX, which is suitable for the operating system you are using. You can download either a file that will automatically install the application on your PC, or an archive file.

For the normal functioning of World of tanks, you will also need installed libraries: Visual C++ 2008 (located on the Microsoft service, available for both 64-bit and 32-bit versions of the OS), Visual C++ 2010, NET Framework, which requires that you There were several versions present at once: version 3.0, version 3.5, version 4.0. In addition to the fact that a World of tanks critical error may occur, there may also be interruptions in the functioning of sound. To do this, update your audio driver.

Problems launching the Wargaming client

Unable to update client

After this, turn off your antivirus program for a while.

Select the launcher, where in the settings menu enter the 6881st port for input connections.
