Same issue as above, Had to revert to manual install of crosshair, XVM and sounds to get near what I had with Aslain's mod.
I played smart this time and made a complete copy of the WOT game folder in case something goes wrong.
I have tried everything stated above and went as far as removing the reference to the offending files but no joy.
I hope this gets sorted out soon and wish I was a programmer so I could dig deeper into the mod and try to find the issue.
