That's exactly it. It even mentions some of the files... Tanks!

Thanks, Quak. The sound bank one is curious. Every time I download the modpack upgrade, the first time I start up WoT I get a warning that I've changed the sound stuff so I should restart in order to make sure that the sounds work properly. Is that normal?

You said that you noticed some strings in logs that mention blocking access to some mods. So what are the strings? Which mods? That would be more specific. I know how AV permissions work. Aslain said he saw in the logs that access to some mods was being blocked. But he didn't say which ones. That's not particularly helpful.

I'm just using McAfee, so there's nothing particularly odd about my security setup. I already have WoT and the launcher set up for full permissions in my firewall. Can you be more specific?

Hey, it happened again, so I decided to experiment. Maybe some extra intel will help you diagnose. No changes from the logs I provided earlier today. It was Winter Himmelsdorf, Tier 3 battle. Instead of restarting the client, I decided to wait and see what might happen. (I was just fighting my LT vz. 35, nothing really to care about.) During the battle, I didn't hear any voice notifications. But the spotted target indicators kept going off, you can see them in the Freeze 1 screenshot. And the team roster would change order, I assume as it would when tanks get killed. You can see that by comparing the Freeze 1 screenshot to Freeze 2. After the battle, the screen unfroze and I was back in the garage. Garage functioned normally, except for one thing -- the mouse was very sluggish, as if the sensitivity were set really low. Continued the experiment by trying to go directly into another battle with the LT vz. 35. That one was Mines, no problem with freezing. Then when I came back to the garage, the mouse was working normally again. It appears something reset when the new battle loaded, either going into or leaving the battle interface. Hope this helps.

Oops. Don't know how much they'll help, though. You could run through five or ten battles using this mod setup with no problem. Then suddenly it freezes once. Then no problem again for 10 or 20 battles. :-/ Aslains_WoT_Logs.zip

Is anyone else having this problem? Occasionally the client will freeze on the opening screen of the battle, where the full team list and stats are displayed. The music will continue playing, but I'll never get to the spawn screen to start the battle. By the time I end the client in task manager, reload the client, and log back in, I've missed the first 30 seconds to one minute of the battle. It will put me at my start point, but I'm way behind everyone. Then at the end of the battle, there's a 15 second or so black screen (I guess it's updating the garage?) before I get to the battle results screen. So far I have not been able to detect a pattern... it happens on different maps and in different tanks, sometimes but not every time. it's been happening for the last few days, so I don't know if it's a WoT micropatch issue or something with one of the mods. It would seem weird if it was a mod though, because it's fairly infrequent. I have noticed that it does seem to happen on the first battle after startup, but even that hasn't been consistent.

How about shifting it so that the default location is just to the left of the Battle Observer? That's a relatively open space, and you wouldn't have the resolution concerns.

I know. I'm just being an instigator.

Might make more sense to post this in the shout box. After all, the people who are posting bugs and errors in the shout box aren't reading the forums. :-)

Not sure if this is a game bug, or a mod bug... if it's a mod bug let me know and I'll post the log. For my tanks that aren't elite yet, the research heading at the top right appears in Russian, in the context window as well as the main display.

It seems to have gone away with the current updates. Nice to be vindicated, though.

Davidinlv82: Yes, as the only user on this computer, I *should* have 100% access. My regular login is the only user account on the computer, and that has admin rights too. So I shouldn't even have to log in under the Administrator account. As I noted, there's no problem deleting every other file and directory in res_mods. I really do appreciate your thoughts and advice, but I have to disagree with you about this being the result of a "corrupt download or installation", though. This has happened to exactly the same file, patch.exe, on two occasions now. That means it's not consistent (happening every time), but it's not random (different files) either. That suggests the problem isn't with my computer, but with the file itself. If the problem was with my computer, it should be happening every time, and if the problem was a corrupt download or install, it shouldn't be affecting just one file or Yes, a complete uninstall and reinstall is one likely solution. But that's like having brain surgery for a headache. The first time this happened was install #19, and it wasn't a problem again until #29. I'll see what happens when #30 comes out.

No, it's not an issue with the security settings on my PC. I was signed in under the Administrator account when I took that screenshot. :-( The screenshot shows that I can't change the security settings of patch.exe. I can't even SEE the security settings of patch.exe. I was able to delete every other file and directory in res_mods, but not that file.

The error is happening again as I try to reinstall #29. You can't reproduce the error because it's related to the security permissions on that file. I can delete everything else in res_mods, but I can't delete patch.exe -- I can't even look at the properties of the file, because of the security permissions you have set on it.

I didn't think the logs would matter, because it's not an install bug or anything like that. Attached here, though. Aslains_WoT_Logs.zip

There seems to be a bug in the minimap. After I get killed during a battle (I'm not that great, so this is unfortunately still the norm), I generally stay in the battle to watch and learn. When I click the mouse to cycle between the tanks still in the battle, the name of the tank that I'm in switches to whichever one is at the top of the team list. And if that tank later dies, even though it drops down on the team list the name still keeps moving to the current tank on the minimap. I've attached some screenshots. Notice how on the minimap, the tank name changes to Excelsior, even though I'm in three different tanks, and the Excelsior is also clearly visible on the minimap.

When I installed #20, the problem was not duplicated. Thanks for checking.

Update: it must be related to the minimaps. I clicked ignore to bypass the error, and all my mods are in place except for minimap enhancements. Kinda realize how useful they are now.

Trying to install #19. Receive an install error (see screenshot). Tried to delete the file manually so I can continue, but it won't let me -- Windows says I need admin permission to delete the file, and this is the only user account on my computer -- I have elevated admin rights. Not sure what that's about, but I'm guessing it's baked into the security settings of the files in the install setup. I've attached the zip file too. TY! Aslains_WoT_Logs.zip

Thanks for the reply, Grandorf. The reason I posted this is that I am suggesting all the hitlog options be placed where option 4 (default XVM hitlog) already appears -- aligned with the player panel, instead of at the extreme top of the screen. That way they are all compatible with the MultiHitLog expD information without further modification. Otherwise, anyone that wants to use the MultiHitLog expD + list option with anything other than the default XVM hitlog would have to go in and manually modify the settings every time there's an update to the modpack. It defeats the purpose of having expD + list as a setup option. One of the best things about the modpack is that novices like me who are uncomfortable messing around with settings don't have to do that. D

I am using Multi Hitlog v2.3 with the expD + listlog option selected. I currently have option #1 selected for my hitlog, and it is overlapping with the expD portion of Multi Hitlog. Screenshot attached. Is there a way to deconflict the overlap by moving the location of the hitlog lower, so that it is even with the player panel instead of all the way up at the top? Hitlog option 4 (default XVM) appears correctly. D python.log _Aslain_logs.zip

Perfect. Thanks!

I have the country flag option selected when I install the modpack, but I can not see a US flag by my name on the entry panel. Is that how this mod normally behaves -- in other words, is it standard that others can see your flag but you can't see your own? I've seen posts about selecting language on the splash screen, and mine is already selected as English (I don't get a dropdown, it just has the EN entry for English).
