  1. Wow that was fast patching, downloading 2.3 GB now. Assuming there won’t be further problems (yeah right :D) I have to compliment WG on this one

    • That was the quickest most painless and yet the biggest one yet – WG must have allocated extra bandwidth to this update. I wonder if the HD models were in there or will they needed to be downloaded later because we were supposed to be given the choice of downloading the HD models.

    • Exactly…
      The title should probably be changed to “9.0 is now downloadable” to not confuse people…

      To make it clear to everyone:

      9.0 is NOT live yet, since the servers are not up.
      However you can download it!

        • No, just missions that give rewards for playing HB.
          Biggest one is 55 HB in 10 days gives you 3 days premium and a gun laying drive.
          Also daily missions for 5 auto fire extinguishers, large first aid, large med kits for 5 HB each.
          Plus, XP and credit bonuses for playing lower tier HB tanks (T-34, Pz4H, Stug3G, Pz3).

  2. Downloaded via the official launcher, 2.3 gigs or smth like that. It won’t LOGIN though.
    “Failed to connect to the server.
    The server may be unavailable, or your network settings might be wrong”

      • Dakiras, who is from WG staff said and I quote “Yep, 9.0 is now downloadable. We’re starting the download process way ahead of time because it’s a fairly big patch (~2.4GB) so you’ll have time to grab it before the server comes online a bit later today. ”
        And when he was asked about the servers coming online quicker he said “It’s possible, but if it’s quicker (or slower) than announced then that means that it wasn’t planned for and therefore we wouldn’t know in advance… ;)

        If the servers are ready to go live before the planned time, we’ll make it live and then announce it via our social media channels (FB and Twitter) as we usually do. Also there will probably be a ton of threads on the forums from people saying “Servers are up!” and so on. :)”

  3. Yes, same as everybody else, client patched but server not available yet, Ohooooooooo so close

    • Calm your tits, they didn’t say that the server will go live when you will have installed the 9.0 patch…

      • As with all the patches before WG shuts down their servers just to restart a couple of hours later.
        Keep calm and try some RL.

  4. How about you all read the official announcement instead of whining about why the server is not up and you can’t login?

    Important: Please note that due to the implementation of the patch, all game servers will be unavailable on Wednesday 16th April from 04:00 until 15:00 CEST (GMT +2). The Global Map will also be affected (see below).

    • You would have thought that people would not miss something as important as this – but no…

  5. The servers will be up 1 PM UTC time. You can download the patch already though. You cannot login to the servers!

  6. donwload whole patch twice already, everytime it doesnt want to install the update :(

  7. Should have conffed that remote connection to homePC last night, i could DL 9.0 already :/

  8. What is this?? Grumpy Gamers Club?? Chill out, get some sunlight…. It doesn’t kill ya :)

  9. SS can you see if your sources can confirm that the SU-85i will not be released for certain regions. It’s not available in the premium shop. Nor is it mentioned in US server’s patch notes as new tanks. :-(

    • If you already know its not in the premium shop then you have your answer, no?

      • Thanks for your well informed insight into things. I really appreciate your time and effort to be completely missing the point. 8 out of 10 for an impersonation of SS too.

        • Look, you asked if he could look if it’s available. Based off of your own post, unless it was poorly worded; “it’s not available in the premium shop” – this would imply that you have your answer. On the other hand, if you’re waiting for the EU patch to download and see if it makes it into the in game store – well, that’s another story i guess. I want to know its status too, not trying to be a dick here. I’m watching the forums for someone to finally finish downloading it and fill us all in. For the Record (pun intended) it’s not listed on the RU server premium shop right now either if it makes you feel better.

  10. Ok, one question. x2exp for every win today but we cant play half day, do you maybe know what will they do about that?

    • they never compensated for *2 before. however usualy there is a nice special after a patch. further more, every day the server is down for at least 4? houres, and u have premium account on that moment, you get a day premium account for free

    • Premium accounts will get one day as compensation (I guess but it has always been like that). Those who want to play can only bugger off and wait…

      However, you question, especially “… what will they do about that” part is very naive. They simply won’t do anything.

  11. i read servers will open at 3pm russian time.that means for us greeks servers will go on at 5pm

  12. EU servers are working now.

    I am sad to see that the graphics settings are making it impossible for me to play the game…..
    I did not edit my graphics settings after this update, but everything looks blurry…..

    With 8.11 i could play on medium settings with good FPS, but now……. the garage looks blurry, the tanks look like Karl did…….

    Nooooooooooo WG what is going wrong……

  13. new graphics looks like plastic tanks. specially the USA … also ruined some camos that looked good after 8.11 now back to old style … back to child paintings.
