Is it just me, or are is WG trying to placate a few vocal arty haters? It really sucks when arty gets a good RNG shot into a LT or light med at full speed(these shots are often fired by tomatoes/bots and I would guess weren't fully aimed or even aimed at that particular spot particularly just lucky RNG) this happens but its hard to see how to fix that. Lets face it the majority of arty hits could be avoided with better play, I say this as an arty player. especially the tier 5-6-7 British arty or similar guns with very slow shell velocity. What they seem to be doing now is making it very hard to play lightly armored tanks with arty firing more often more accurately better aim time and huge splash. RIP active spotting. RIP the Bishop and fv304 who will know have an amazing 28.5mm penetration. it used to be a matter of skill to damage heavily armored veichles in those, no more. I guess RIP lefh as well. But woe unto you if you drive a tank without armor you will now be only target that can be hit...

on the next run issue is back but I have solution now set it to 1.2 or 1.3 and voila! Nope no noticeable difference weird it scaled the first time then stopped again... its acting very weird it starts normal then snaps back to no scaling but if I then manually set scale even higher say to 150% then it acts like it has been set to roughly 125% very weird

It seems to be scaling now though not the way it should I will have to test a few times. Where do I post the funny lag issue, new thread?

I got it. It's not a bug. In the XVM section there's an option to change icon size I had it set to default 1.0 . Simple as pie only thing I would add is the "default" label is misleading in a case like mine where default scales with the rest of windows.

I never fiddled with anything new computer downloaded wot then installer. I'm having another issue I never had with my old machine. sometimes it appears I'm lagging though my in game says its fine (steady at lets say 40 ms) sometims I actually lag out and cant transmit anything to the server though I still see whats happening around me withput any lag often when this happens I will lag out of client completely 15-20 sec later.(or at least start seeing lag issues show up clearly in the in game indictaor). Anyone have such a thing before perhaps this comuter is more sensitive to smaller connection drops somehow but why would that affect uploads more than downloads?(i.e. I cant fire but can see I'm being fired at) Thanks for any info. Again I have no idea if modpack has anything to do with this.

How can I help with that? _Aslains_Installer_Options_.inf

Is there anything else to upload or those files are all there is to know?

Would really like to say thank you. And this seems to be the place I don't think I would be playing wot anymore without you

I don't really know how to upload logs I will have to look around here to find where it was explained. I guess I could disable one mod at a time until I locate the problem myself. Even when wot does scale(i.e. in safe mode) Its far from a perfect experience. I didn't even think about it when going through the specs I was happy to be getting a 6th gen i5 with a 940m with all around good specs and what seemed like a decent screen albeit a slow 5400rpm HDD (I paid less than 400$ including shipping) I didn't realize FHD and 15.6 is a bad marriage. but it does seem many mid to high end laptops use 1080p. Mine is an acer e5 574G there must be at least 10 similar models from acer all with 1080p. None of the reviews or articles I read mentioned 1080p as a con because of small screen size. I was clueless about the way resolutions worked I thought you never need to scale when using native resolution so everything would be normal size but much sharper with 1080p. I only really noticed it when wot stopped scaling and went tiny but then I thought the problem was my machine and reinstalled windows. Eventually I read up more and realized 125% must be default at this size. I cant return the computer so I will have to get used to it somehow. You cant imagine how blurry many apps appear and even the ones that aren't blurry just don't feel right and are harder on the eyes. Really wish I would've stuck to 768p or gone for 17.3 inch where 1080p is more usable. BTW scaling seems to have a huge effect on fps(why?) I need to use it more but so far 100% getting 40-45 fps less than scaled at 125%. I'm googling around a bit, It appears 1080p is normal for 15.6 inch gaming laptops.

Should I upload my logs? I'm assuming this would be a common problem for anyone running on high dpi screen. And again I must say that had I realized this before I got this computer I would've made sure to get a 768p screen. I would much rather have usable lower rsolution than high resolution where every webpage looks a bit off and some things are just totally fuzzy trade off is not nearly worth it.

Thank you, Why didn't I realize that myself... Yes changing WOT.EXE. did help... But only for the original loading screen(the one with the awards on bottom) as soon as sign in screen loaded it reverted to disabled scaling... The next time I open it the settings have been changed on their own and loading screen doesn't scale either. But if I set both WOT(launcher) And wot.exe. to enabled scaling and run in safe mode, It does scale!. So modpack guilty after all.

Sorry for explaining myself better before. of course the pictures looked normal to you I didn't tell you it was only a 15.6 inch.

Turns out I can toggle Display scaling for each individual program in "properties". Pretty simple. Not sure why this setting changes on its own but its not hard to fix. Still not happy running at 125% but that's the automatic default for a 15.6 inch screen at 1920x1080., or else everything is just tiny. So I went ahead and enabled display scaling and sure enough launcher window opens to normal size albeit blurry text... But boom as soon as program runs it automatically disables scaling on its own. The next time you open launcher Its a tiny window because scaling has already been disabled. This I'm afraid is somehow triggered by the modpack as it doesn't happen before that. But there's a simple test, enable scaling start wot in safe mode, if its the modpack it wont disable scaling on its own... Hmmm.... When I do that launcher starts normal size(125% scaling) but program reverts to tiny(100%) and yet display scaling remains set at enabled in program properties, so much for my quick fix this is getting weird. I tried them both twice each with mods enabled program properties settings are changed automatically when you start program. In safe mode they are not but program still doesn't scale.... Coupled with the fact that this didn't happen in any of the tens of times I opened application before installing modpack... I hope this has some explanation.

This is simply an issue of Wot not scaling. maybe I should complain to wg....

Installed modpack. And wot still scaling nicely. A couple of minutes later restarted client and POOF wot refuses to scale again. I'm baffled

the difference is that now when I change windows display settings WOT changes along with it so wot also displays at 125%. while earlier WOT did not change along with windows perhaps because of modpack well see when I install it again now. Either way 125% is just wrong it makes your eyes hurt this is one computer I wish I had passed over.

But it didn't make sense after all I was 100% sure launcher was correct size the first time I downloaded. So I tried downloading again and behold launcher is correct size even though everything else is off. So it looks like it is scaling until I install modpack but why why why...

uh oh reinstalled windows and problem persists! I give up....

I didn't realize if I get a 1920 x 1080 resolution I must get a much better card for same performance I thought I could get away with intel hd and the 940m was extra credit now I see ill be struggling to get good reliable fps even at low settings, while intel hd at 768 was very capable. I shoudlve asked you first. lesson learned

Thanks. I just comfirmed with Microsoft the default should be at 100% not 125% this is the cause of all the problems they didn't have better answer than reinstalling windows which is what I'm doing. i'm happy to hear I wasn't imagining it. Thank you both for your time and knowledge.

Once were at it. Ill take the liberty of a few basic questions. when you run your 1440 resolution is the default setting 150% or something like that or does 100% scale up automatically? also for the first time I'm actually using a dedicated card albeit a 940m. I see that 1080 takes a lot more GPU than 768 do you think I should be running low graphics. I found difference between low and min graphics effects game performance and experience noticeably but difference between low and high seems mostly eye candy. Is this true?

I have another idea when I run it minimized in window its exactly same size as full window but ratio of screnn is much different now of course only one can be right other will be way too large(in window) or way to small (in fullscreen) I will post 2 screenshots fro you to compare. look closely windowed version does indeed seem too large but look how small tank statistics(firepower etc..) are in full screen. Please don't tell me everyone else using 1080 considers that normal. Now you can easily check your own client to see if i'm just an old fogie or there's a real problem. Do the tank stats take up such a small ratio of your screen. Please tell me No. the actual game resolution is fine I think but something is stopping all the fonts from scaling up appropriately if I were to run battle only mode(or however its properly called) by pressing V hotkey it would be perfect 1080 I think.

Looks like the whole taskbar is small as well though I can live with it no problem. What bothers me the most here is that im sure it was fine the first time I started client before I ran mudpack but how could mudpack effect my whole machine like that. though I admit I'm not 100% sure windows wasn't like this all along I might not have paid attention but wot was fine. 2560x1440 is that regularly priced LCD screen or something special?

Quaksen yes your right about about using 768 but I don't know what to do....
