I shall stand my ground! :ph34r: Each to his own I suppose. :P

I would definitely have to say that the issue is caused by incompatible mods. Aslain's mod pack is still at version 3.7.14; which is a 9.1 release. The European server has not yet had their 9.2 patch, thus most of the mods that you're used to have not yet been updated (since most of them are European mods). EU is scheduled to get their patch tomorrow, thus within one to three days, all of the mods should have been updated, and should be fully compatible with 9.2 by then. For now however, you're going to have to deal with a vanilla (mod-free) WoT Client.

But look at all this trouble it's created. Usually we complain about late patches, now we're complaining about the patch coming so early that we're forced to run a vanilla WoT Client. :rolleyes: EU is getting the patch early in the morning tomorrow if I am correct. Hopefully soon after all of the mods will be updated. The updates were never 7-8 GB. That's the size of the entire Game Client, but the patches have usually been 1-3 GB. If I'm correct, they've never exceeded that. Definitely sounds like a patch. Seriously though, there's no rush. EU is getting the update tomorrow; I'm pretty sure that we can wait one day. Besides... you shouldn't be doing any of this for us... we're un-deserving. ;) We'll be happy to wait. ^_^

Hmm... could you please say that in English now? I'm even more confused. :wacko:

Another decent player to my team. Hurray (lots of sarcasm)! Someone else who will make it harder to legitimately carry and easier to win, because the battle will end sooner, and without as many allied losses. Just what I need (not). I learn by carrying, and I learn by making mistakes and pushing my tanks to their limits. The worse players I have on my team, the more I learn. The harder the battle is for me, the more fun and challenging the experience is. I would prefer to have an absolutely crappy team to an absolutely amazing team. The worse the team is, the more I can learn and the harder I can carry.

As I said... this is rocket science... I currently have multiple folders with multiple mods in one folder... How do I make this work? Do I just rename the original folder, or do I have to extract all of the folders inside and rename each individual one, as well as rename the sub-folders to 0.9.2 (since these are old mods that have never stopped working) [which ultimately will make this feature absolutely pointless]

I'm still a bit confused as to how this feature works. Seriously, how to use this feature? This is more complicated than rocket science... and I've tried doing that before. :mellow: (Of course I haven't performed any rocket science... I'm joking).

I suppose that would be nice? Discussing tactics would probably still fit under "Guides and Tutorials", because that would be meant to educate the player base. A separate part of the Forums to just share replays that are worthwhile would be interesting however.

I.... don't understand? Could you please elaborate?

My main problem with Platoon is that either: We will stick together as a group, but at least one of us will be unfamiliar with the tactics that I'm using, or that someone else is using. If each of us does his/her own thing, what's the point of Platooning? There's no teamwork or cooperation going on; it's back to doing your own thing. Just like a regular pub match. Except now, if you do poorly in battle, your friends will see it. Sometimes it's too much stress, other times it's just like your typical pub match.

I prefer to Platoon with people worse than me. I get to teach the a few things, and they're the ones who usually will stick with me, thus surviving longer and being more battle effective. It's useful for them. Good players don't need to learn many things, do they? Regardless, I rarely Platoon. I absolutely hate it. I would much rather play pub matches solo. Besides... if I'm playing solo, I have no one to assist me (because teams are useless most of the time), thus I have to learn to adapt on my own, learn more about the maps, tactics, etc.... and I get used to carrying battles. If I lose, or take unnecessary damage, I analyze my mistakes and try to determine what my mistake was, what lost us the battle. The next time I go to battle in a similar situation, I've learned and will be able to carry harder and further. I'm always advocating Platooning with others because it is a good thing to do, and it is a worthwhile experience. However, when I'm playing I still tend to go solo. I get the most enjoyment from it; and I learn the most from it.

I make my own tactics. I never follow along with my team, because whenever I do, it ends very badly for myself, and the rest of the team. Most of the victories I have come from me carrying on my own. I don't even Platoon, because every Platoon mate has his or her own idea of what a good tactic is. And following them will be doing something I'm un-familiar with, and if they mess up, I'm screwed. Platooning is nothing different that your typical pub match in my opinion. I go off on my own, I spot my own targets, I flank the targets I need to flank. Allies have no idea what they're doing. so I only go to them if that option is better than whatever I was doing at the time, which it rarely is.

That would also work.

How about... no. You will never find a competent team. I've learned the hard way to be my own man in battle. If I have a teammate that needs assistance, and is willing to work together and won't just rush out in die, then I will definitely stick with him and play as a team. However, how often does this happen? It doesn't. I've had battles where I light up the entire enemy team for the majority of the battle, and my team still can't shoot them down. That's why I've adapted my scouting style so that I can spot and snipe at the same time... even if that means going out of the ally's draw ranges. I always try to assist my team, but they never assist me. Thus when I play, I do so on my own. If an ally needs help, I'll assist. But I'm certainly not going to expect any help from them; even if it's just shooting at tanks I spot. I know that half of the player-base is too incompetent to even do that.

Upload the files to MediaFire, and then post the download links here. Also, Aslain's mod pack is not 9.2 compatible yet. EU has not yet had the 9.2 update, thus he has been unable to update his mod pack. I do not recommend using his mod pack until he releases v.3.7.15.

Most likely, you'll be shot down. Besides... we're talking about pub matches here... half of your snipers will have trouble deciphering the left mouse button from the right mouse button.

Ooooohhhhhh. Yes. Yes you are. :lol:

Says the guy who would prefer to do anything other than read a book. :P

If you go down, you will die. Period. You have no means of retreat. The best you could do is spot on the bridge, but even then you could easily be sniped at.

Maybe you're just weird. ;) Reading a good book is great. Especially at night if you can't fall asleep. :P

On occasion, I have to re-read a page. However, that typically happens once or twice throughout the course of the entire book.

Seems like a re-directory error. Perhaps the Game Client is trying to find a non-existing file somewhere in res-mods? Regardless, I won't be able to help today; and neither will Aslain. EU has not even had the release of 9.2 yet, and my Game Client won't even start up.

In my opinion, no one should ever be camping on that hill. Ever. There's no use for it. There are plenty of places to camp nearby the base which will block the enemy advance without the risk of being shot at by invisi-snipers.

You don't like reading books or playing an instrument? Don't talk to me you... you... monster! :angry: (I'm joking)

Deleting the file most likely caused the crash. If you delete the incorrect file, you could crash your Client. Try to remember which file you deleted... if it was important to the Game Client, you may need to re-install. As for XVM not working, do you have statistics activated? Also, could you please attach your _Aslains_Comp_List (Text file), _Aslains_Installer_Options (Setup information), and _Aslains_Installer (Text file)? With those files, we will be able to investigate even further. Also, keep in mind that Aslain's mod pack is not 9.2-ready. At the moment, it's still the 9.1 version of the mod pack. Aslain does not yet have his 9.2 Client, thus he is unable to work on the mod pack today.
