server prpblem

Thu, 16 Jul 2026 07:15:38 +0000

A new update has arrived. Even though it said the game would start at 9:00 (Türkiye time), it's now 10:15 and I still can't get in; it keeps giving a server connection error. It didn't launch even when I tried starting it in safe mode. Is anyone else able to get into the game?

I'm building a Port Manager, external app that organizes your port. I have everything from API, but I want some internal variables. The only way it seems is to build a mod that exposes those

Wed, 15 Jul 2026 18:47:30 +0000

I'm currently building a port manager. I want it to be able to see modules, commanders, xp to next module/ship, organize in more categories other than just 'primary'. I also want to be able to attach builds to it from ShipBuilder, that sort of thing. I have it where I'm grabbing all the API stuff, its working great .. but some of the variables are internal to the client. I see them exposed in the

/unbound
/unbound2

files. Unfortunately it exposes all the ships you have statistics on and doesn't see only ships in port. There's several other things that I want to grab. So I thought of 2 ways that I can do this:

I can try to grab some of the variables from the mods, but I don't think that would work in some cases because the mods are iterating through each ship, unless I could grab them all and create an array or something like that. This would be handled by a custom mod that just scrapes those variables.
Create a custom mod that is basically just a python mod that performs all the calculations and creates the variables, then sends them back to my api, or writes them to a file or whatever.

As an example, I want to grab

ownShip.exp

from the $DataHub because the API results are not accurate.

Is there a list of variables inside the client that would be useful to a port manager? Like which commander is assigned where, etc?

Maybe I create a duplicate of NextShipXP.unbound and change the variable names and also insert my own data collection mechanism inside? Then I can put that file in the custom folder so its copied over? Here's a screenshot of it in progress.

I received a notification indicating a 7-day account suspension

Fri, 10 Jul 2026 13:39:27 +0000

On the evening of July 10, 2026, when I went online to World of Warships, I received a 7-day game ban notification in the radio message in the bottom right corner, stating that I had received a warning for using unbalanced mods. Will using this mod be considered an unbalanced mod and banned?

Translating WoWs modpack / installer language files

Mon, 28 Nov 2016 07:55:36 +0000

If you would like to translate the modpack to different language, please post in this topic. Do not send me PM's or Skype messages, or emails, everything must be in this topic, and open to public.

Would be good if translator could pay attention to installer updates, otherwise if the missing lines of component exceeds no. 40, I will disable the language until it's up to date again.

Link to latest language file for all those who have plans to make own translation, or fix current translation errors and mistakes.

The modpack installer is available in following languages:

Adding Clan Icon

How do I upload a clan icon in WOWS for the NA server?

Clan is Just the Tip. We seem to have inherited a previous clan's icon.

Historical clan flag designs

Sun, 21 Jun 2026 16:19:23 +0000

First post here & new member. I'm trying to find a 'link to' & 'the images' for the (now) years old 'clan flag design submissions' that were at the old WoWS St Petersburg offices. I think these submissions were made around 2016 and there were somewhere over 400 submissions. I tried counting them (lol). These images may have been Imgur files - they were very small yet showed a lot of detail.

I think at that time (2016?) WoWS forum asked for these submissions that went to their St Pete office but nothing ever came of that project.

Does anyone have these images or know exactly where to find these? I would like to post this link & the images to DevStrike.

Postscript: my NA small (almost defunct) clan, First International Fleet, has it's clan flag design in those 400+ submissions. 😁

Hi, Aslain. Pls try to register a Bilibili account.

Thu, 18 Jun 2026 01:13:52 +0000

Hello Aslain, I have a small suggestion on how to increase your income. You could try registering a Bilibili account to promote yourself, just like many game studios do. Bilibili has a tipping/reward feature, but I'm not exactly sure how you can receive tips from Bilibili. That’s my suggestion after seeing what you wrote.😄

Battle Won't Load

Wed, 20 May 2026 22:04:38 +0000

I updated to 13.5 today and the battle screen showed up but it wouldn't let me get into battle. It just stayed on that battle loading screen.

I uninstalled the modpack and then I could enter a battle.
Any ideas? Thanks.

Hello Aslain. I've played always with this lovely icons, but now are gone. It's possible to make a similar icons?

Thank you.

Question about Female Captain Names

Sat, 11 Apr 2026 16:23:53 +0000

Hi,
first off, big kudos and a huge thank you for all your hard work.
But I’m missing a mod where the captains have female names, like the mod by Garfield 001—just for German-speaking regions. (I’m from Germany)
I have the KanColle Admiral mod installed… it’s great… but a female captain with a name like "Günther" is just silly.
So if you know anyone or maybe even have contact with Garfield, I (and I'm sure some of the girls among us WoWs players) would really appreciate a mod like that.

Need Help Installing Mods from Mod Pack on Linux (Steam Client)

Tue, 20 May 2025 12:33:19 +0000

Before I ask my question, I just want to clarify that yes, I did read this post from angulion about installing the mod pack via Lutris. In his guide, when he selects WoWS in his game menu, he has a drop-down menu next to "Platform: Windows" where he can select "Run EXE inside Wine prefix" to run the mod pack installer wizard. I don't have this, I assume because I'm not using the official WG launcher, but rather using Steam from my distro's repositories. For me, I see "Platform: Linux" with no drop-down menu at all.

I know that I could just use the WG launcher to fix this, but the problem is that the whole reason that I even have WoWS on Steam to begin with is because it was easier to just make a new account and launch the game through Steam. I don't even use my account bound to my WG launcher anymore, even when I play on Windows. Therefore, at this point I would much prefer to get the modpack (or at least the mods within it) working with my game via Steam. All of that said, I have two questions that I want to ask for the purposes of both practicality and curiosity.

First, is it still possible to get the mod pack to work with WoWS installed via Steam, or is having the WG launcher installed via Lutris/Wine required for the mod pack to work?

Second, can I just use the mod pack to install the mods on my Windows computer, then copy the Steam files for WoWS over to Linux? The Steam directory structure on Linux is basically identical to Windows. There are a couple of minor differences, but the steamapps directory where game files and mods go is 100% identical to the steamapps directory on Windows. And as far as I can tell, the mod pack is basically just a dedicated mod manager for WoWS. It doesn't install any binaries, it just selects mod files and places them in their appropriate directories. If this is correct, then I should be able to manually install my mods by simply placing the files into their appropriate directories manually. All I need to do is get the files, which I should be able to just copy from my Windows machine. Alternatively I could just get them from their respective sources, but copy-pasting would be faster and easier. I know I won't be able to update my mods directly when a new version of the mod pack is released, but I figure I can just repeat the manual process when there is an update. Would this work?

World of warships wont stop running.

I downloaded a handful of mods for Wows, and now the game won't stop running when I close it; it forces me to end the task for Steam for it to reset. Mod List images attached below:

How to display clan icon after submitting it?

Clan icons definition and submission

Fri, 28 Mar 2025 17:33:58 +0000

Hey there,

I found this and followed but as soon as I'm authorized through WG I get "Forbidden - Access denied" on the whole site. Any known issues? I'm a clan commander on EU Server.

Also what's the ideal size/format to optimize the display in game? Does it accept 24bit PNG transparency?

Looking for the REMOVED "azur碧蓝航线主题包" - My last hope for this game

Mon, 09 Feb 2026 05:16:43 +0000

Hello everyone and Aslain,

I'm desperately looking for the "azur碧蓝航线主题包" (Azur Lane Theme Pack) which was previously available in the Aslain Modpack but has been removed/discontinued.

Why it's important: This complete UI overhaul is the ONLY reason I still play World of Warships. The original game's interface is unbearable for me, and this mod made it feel like a proper Azur Lane PC game. I've tried other scattered mods (captains, health bars), but the core UI problem remains.

What I've tried: I've searched extensively on Google, forums, and Nexus Mods but found no working download links since its removal.

If ANYONE has a backup of this mod or knows where I could possibly find it, you would literally save my game experience. I would be eternally grateful!

Please reply here or send me a private message. Thank you so much for any lead or help!

"Hide" flags

RPF Direction

Thu, 15 Jan 2026 22:02:39 +0000

One of the Mods in the bundle installs an annoying RPF indicator in chat which is useless for me. Whenever the first time I hold the "b" button to quick chat wheel, it drops in the team chat "RPF:none". I tried to disable this and even when I switch this to another button I have the same functionality.

How can I disable this and keep everything else?

Thanks in advance!

Numbers instead of % upon ships

Wed, 07 Jan 2026 19:18:10 +0000

Hello & Happy New Year !

In the original interface, when you bash Alt you get the PS max / PS remaining above Ships under their name.

In Aslain by default, this is changed to %.

I want to get back to PS but I'm unable to find in wich Section & mod it is.

Thanks in advance fo your precise answer & my best whishes to you for 2026, Marc.

Installation window too small

Sun, 07 Dec 2025 20:50:12 +0000

Is there any way we can resize the installation window to make it easier to read the available selections?

Question

Sat, 29 Nov 2025 20:37:49 +0000

Hi Aslain. I asked chat gpt to restore a mod of wows that made Tier XI United States look like CV Saratoga and the planes were F-14. I have got instruction from Chat Gpt, but they are useful for modders. Can you help me? If you write me I can copy the chat.
Tank you in any case.
Matteo/Tigellino

Chat gpt said he prepared the folders and just need the 3D models. For me this is almost klingon language... in any case I could copy what he wrote to make it easier.

New to modding

Sun, 26 Oct 2025 16:13:01 +0000

Hi folks, new to modding this game. Aslain is a bit overwhelming for me, is there an easier one to use? or like one mod i can install to make this a little easier. I'm not to computer savvy, but i can figure things out under pressure. Any tips, or advice is greatly appreciated.
