Hi, I'm sure you have noticed but anyway, Wotlabs updated WN8 colour scale again, this time I think it's actually pretty good. I don't think that colors.xc is yet available but should be soon.

Use this file to fix it
Just replace guns.xml in your installation with the one in the zip file

So all the issues are due to locale encoding issues. I was set to japanese locale and switching back to english fixed the problem. I'm thinking what the problem is that when the installer extracts whatever extraction program is used is unable to decompress with the proper language encoding.
I deleted everything and put the 0.9.3 folder back (empty) and this got the game working again for me. But what I would like is Aslain's working again. tried not using auto log-in which was the problem last time they did a mini patch but nothing unclicked appears to fix or make it able to log in without hitting the desktop again apart from full deletion of the mod. I use the WoT Asia sever and problem came about after the mini update today.
