Hotfix 9.0.1 is Coming

Source: http://forum.worldoftanks.com/index.php?/topic/352479-901-update-coming/

Brace yourselves, 9.0.1 hotfix is coming. Preliminary ETA is this Friday.

I want to update the community on the status up the next patch for World of Tanks. As you all know 9.0 is an update sets the stage for all the updates for the rest of the year. There were major functional changes that had to occur in this update to make that possible. This unfortunately led to some of the instability in form of game crashes and issues with framerate.

We have already identified some of the issues and currently have a patch in QA testing. It will address many of the game crashes and some of the framerate issues. We want to get this patch out as soon as possible without introducing new problems.

The current ESTIMATED timeframe for this patch is this Friday. It is subject to change depending on what is found by QA, but I wanted to make sure you are as informed as possible. If this estimate changes I will make another update. I will also update you if a second patch is required. We apologize for the disruption this update may have caused you, however we look forward to the advances that this patch will allow.

Thank you all for your patience,

  2. Well if it will go in proper WG style then it will fix one issue and create three new ones. :D

    • Lost a 1500xp match on the M5 Stuart. We were up by 4 or 5 kills then I crashed out and they cleaned out our guys. I was last alive before they found me stuck in the bush I was hiding in to kill their arty (I could tell from the score screen you get as you are loading the match, before re crashing). I have no idea what I did to get that much xp as the details wouldn’t load, there was no resist bonus as all i was awarded was sharpshooter. Would have been such a sweet win.

      • I just registered to let you guys know this, as those crashes also happened to me.
        If you are crashing in an important game, DELETE OR RENAME YOUR wargaming.net FOLDER in %appdata%. This solved it for me, I was able to join the match again. :)

        • I updated my Nvidia drivers to the current version, and deleted my preferences.xml file in the %appdata% WoT folder. After about 50 battles: no more crashes. I still immediately exit any battle with a Hellcat or M4 after dying just to make sure I don’t get locked to the battle with a crash.

  5. Seems promising. It is quite logical that such huge update would have created great instability. But I guess they could easily adressed those problems in the test server.

  8. I hope I would be able to play normally… Loosing games cause you saw enemy tank 3 s later than normal cause of lags/FPS drops is frustrating. One second I have 30 fps, second – drops to 6-8 fps…

  14. bla bla bla

    for every WG Developer, you have like 20 marketing guys that bla bla all day,
    how about WG hire more developers and fire them Marketing idiots.

  15. Inb4 they only fuck up working mods again and don’t fix any of the game issues.

  18. From around the community, I have seen countless suggestions, workarounds, fixes, etc. I’ve tried many of them (deleting in-game browser, lower GFX, re-installing C++ 2010, removing mods, appdata directory, clearing caches, defragging, the list goes on) and none of them solve the issue for long. I can play tiers 1-3 all day long with no issues, but the moment I move into a higher tier tank, I’m good for maybe 3-4 games then bang, CTD. It’s gotten so I don’t play anymore. Will be looking forward to having this mess solved.

  19. meh… I have had no CTD issues since 9.0 and only one failure to load map incident.

    But then I gun min specs in WoT. IE everything turned off and 3D to 50%.

  20. “We want to get this patch out as soon as possible”

    YOU HAVE TO MAKE THE PATCH AS PROPERLY AS POSSIBLE, SO TAKE YOUR TIME AND TEST IT PROPERLY YOU FUCKING IDIOTS!

  23. Cool. Time to stop playing until Friday, I guess.

    Maybe Wargaming will take this as a lesson learned; don’t take a test server patch that’s working nearly perfectly, add random shit to it on a whim, and release it without its own test server round expecting nothing to go horribly wrong.

    …

    Then again, it’s WG, so…

    • People called me mad because they thought WoT was going to get better in 9.0

      Now I’m calling them idiots for thinking that WG would do something good.

  26. Hmmm, playing on a laptop, settings medium/high, 3D 100% and no lags crashes and i get around 100+ FPS…. am i the only one that finds the 9.0 patch superb?

    That in mind, i hope 9.0.1 will not ruin my positive opinion about 9.0…..
