I don't have any problems at all installing the modpack.  I think if it were a problem with the modpack itself, then most people, or probably all people, would be having the same problem.  As it is, only a very select few are having problems.

Therefore, I still believe that it is a local issue concerning file/file folder permissions on the computer involved.  Maybe some of the real computer nerds will see this thread and help out....I am only a pretend computer nerd.

Thanks for that. I did log in as administrator this morning but that didn't help. It was, as you say, a permission issue. I needed 'Admin. permission to delete the configs file' but I am the admin! Could it mean aslain as it is his configs file? Anyway, i turned off my anti virus and tried again, i have done this before, but this time it installed properly. Why? I have no idea! I appreciate the support.

 

If you are on a Windows machine, Microsoft introduced a feature called User Account Control (UAC) back in the Vista days.  It is a safety feature.  Even if the user is logged in as Admin not every action is ran as admin by default. The reason is that under an Admin account, the user account is not ever really the real, complete Admin.  UAC is the real boss.  If the admin account were in complete control and everything were ran as "by admin" always then everything including malware would be installed without question.  This would not be a safe way to operate the pc.  I think it depends on the application being ran as to whether or not UAC asks for permission to run as admin or it simply denies to run only a portion of a process without asking.  I think the former is what is happened in your case here.  Some mod author has created their mod in such a way that UAC, under your particular pc's settings, decides to "protect" you without asking anything.  Other people, including Aslain, may have something a little different in their Windows Security Settings and their UAC never interfered....or they always run the installer as admin manually.

I think the best thing to do is to right click on the installer exe file and tell your computer to run it as administrator.  This is how you bypass UAC and become the "real" admin.  Everything should run as it should.  You should only do this with programs that you know and trust to be safe and legit.  Aslain's is definitely one that is safe and legit.

Happy hunting on the battlefield.

Thanks for replying. I have recently changed to Bitdefender so maybe. But the problem persists which seems to be the inability to delete the configs file! I am sure that I have done that successfully on previous occasions.

Sounds like it may be a permission issue.  You can  make sure that you have ownership of the World of Tanks folder.  I had weird problems a while back because of ownership being changed on some folders....weird and I never knew how it happened.  If you are not sure how to do this Google is your friend...it is easy.

Run the installer as Admin.  Probably won't make a difference, but it is a free possibility.

Other than that, you can only hope that one of the real computer nerds can chime in and help you.  I only pretend to be one on forums. 

The installer works perfectly for most.  I think it may be your anti virus.  Have you tried installing with the anti virus disabled?  Even though the AV never interfered before, something could have changed in its definitions to cause it to block something in the installation process.  Just an idea.

It is probably that your mouse control settings have somehow been changed.  In the picture below, you can adjust your mouse sensitivity.  In your case, it is probably the one I have marked.  The positions mine are in are the default positions.  You also may have to adjust the trajectory view too...if it has also been moved.

If you are playing the game with the default vanilla keyboard settings for all controls, you can simply click the default button at the bottom and everything will be reset.  But, if you have made changes to your keyboard controls and you click default, it will reset EVERY keyboard control and you will have to reconfigure.  Of course, after making any changes you must click Apply to save your changes.

These settings are saved in  the game cache in order that they are carried over from update to update.  This cache is apparently left behind when you uninstall, therefore the reinstall didn't help you.  In Aslain's Installer, there is the option during the install process to delete this cache if you ever have problems like this again.  This way, you dont have to reinstall the game if you cant find the problem.

I hope this helps you.

Wait for the new modpack later this morning.  With the micro-patch we all received, things aren't working as normal at the moment.  Aslain will have to sprinkle his magic pixie dust on a lot of things and then we will be back to normal.

yeah...you are right.  I am too old for that now plus I am afraid of my wife....haha.

haha...I knew what the numbers were for.  Maybe that is why I never noticed it before.  But still, I may try the vodka trick and see if it works.  If after drinking the entire bottle I still can read the text, I will try smashing myself in the head with the bottle...I bet that would work!!!

what brand of Vodka works the best for you? 

Hmmm...I guess I just didn't notice it before.  It doesn't bother me and if no one else has noticed it then I am fine with pretending to have a connection to old Vladimir...haha.  Maybe if I drank enough Vodka I could understand it. 

I don't have any Russian Text anywhere else that I know of.

It is not a priority to fix of course.  I have just noticed it and wanted to inform.

Thanks in advance

Were you ever able to change the marker of a custom crosshair from the in game settings?  I think that Damocles has had that red marker for a long time.  As long as I can remember.

Try removing  Gnomefather's Historical Realism Gun Sounds (by Zorgane).  That could be what is causing your problem.

The authors of illegal mods don't answer questions about problems?  What is the world coming to...cheaters are not as honest as in the old days....

I can verify that this problem has been solved for me in modpack #12.  4 battles so far and zero problems.

I think so too.  I tried unchecking XMQP on the xvm website, but that didn't make a definite difference.  Everything was OK for a few clicks and then didn't work for a few and then returned to working later in the battle.  I have class this afternoon, but I will test some more later.  Work really screws up the important things in life....

I unchecked mini map zoom in xvm and played a battle with zero problems.  With Damocles sword installed. 

the problem still exists without a custom crosshair.  I will keep checking things.

installing now.

I am having the same problem described in the OP.  It is an intermittent problem, but  right clicking on the map doesn't work more than it works.

Google'd, while worried it would be something terrifying... but pleasantly surprised! I'll have one of those!  Hehe.

I am disappointed, Quaksen.  I previously thought you were a complete nerd like some of the rest of us.  But, I am happy to see that you are coming closer to embracing your inner nerd now.  Since you have unlocked the secret power of Wookie Cookies you have opened up a whole new, and exciting, part of your life.  Congratulations.

oh...one more thing:  What kind of cookies did you expect Darth_Clicker to eat?

Do I win a cookie?!

you can have a Wookie Cookie....

Yep...new modpack contains the magic pixie dust as usual.  Thanks Aslain.

I think it is an XVM problem.  I can't confirm it though.
