    I have same problem DH1972.

     

    Installer works fine and on load I have the OKAY and other buttons. But when I click on a preview of any mod, the OK and other buttons all disappear. 

    If I don't click any previews, the installer works fine. 

     

    More of an inconvenience than a problem. To preview I just have to kill the installer after the preview and restart it.

     

    That does not sound like a screen resolution problem to me, but somebody else may be able to explain why it is?

     

    My screen res is 1920x1200.

     

    MGIMATTY are you suggesting a two month old installer will work with the latest WoWS mods?

     

     

    I'd suggest you do not use the preview window until a scaling fix is implemented. Somehow it goes out of bounds. Current version should work fine if you don't use the preview window.

     

    Also: the link you attached is for World of Tanks.

    Well it's still downloading slow NOW. So a lot of people getting it at once excuse is over with. And it's been going slow for me since around 7:30 pm EST on 9/3.... yet the first 9.10 modpack aslain put out downloaded normal for me (which should have been the slow downloading one, not this one or the last one).

     

    First up a server load excuse is only an excuse when there is no load to the server at all. As a webhosting provider I can tell you that load balancing is always an issue whether we (the providers) or you (the users) like it or not. A lot of money and technical expertise is involved if you need to deal with these types of loads. 

     

    As money issues and freeware usually go hand in hand, it is kind of obvious that 1 DLC server can't handle the immense amount of requests sent by hundred thousands of users simultaneously all requesting large files.

    There is also a window in which the server tries to recover from these immense loads. There are ways to get the download speed back up but there are NOT free of charge. The ones that are however, mean that the hosting provider would have to bounce all incoming connections when a set limit is reached.

    Furthermore you can never tell which version will be the most demanded one by the masses. Some people wait for a certain mod to be re-included in the modpack, which causes a higher load than usual in return. 

    There is no such thing as a version that should be downloading slower than the other.

    I hope to not have offended anyone but in my opinion these kinds of remarks show a lack of technical insight, which causes me to get annoyed with people who clearly have no idea what on earth they are talking about or don't even bother to think.

    PS Keep them downvotes coming imgurians :')

  3. I don't know for sure, but I'd say "No" you cannot install mods without closing the game and reopening it.

    The mods would need to get loaded, and I'm pretty sure that's only done when opening the game.

     

    This statement is correct. All mods are loaded during the initialisation of the game. This is the moment when the game checks if everything it needs is there and if there are any changes to the existing game files.
