Fail fail fail

[timbo2410]

Ok .. complete fail to start game after update. Just updated and I cannot even log into game. Can start in safe mode just fine but otherwise all I get is a blank screen/garage .. help please guys :-(

[timbo2410]

If I try and launch it comes up resource path does not exist: ./res_mods/0.9.15.1

[tarbox23]

you must have deleted it.

 

create that folder, restart game.

[timbo2410]

Nope, created that folder and it will not work. Is there anything supposed to be in the folder?

[timbo2410]

re-installed game. Installed XVM (Aslains) .. still no joy. File missing even though I created new one. Will only play in safe mode?

[exarish]

Did you create it like this?

 

C:\Games\World_of_Tanks\res_mods\0.9.15.1

 

Red doesn't matter, but the structure of the wot root onward needs to be identical.

[timbo2410]

I made a folder in the res_mods folder called 0.9.15.1 ... I have just done a full clean install and have played the game with no mods and everything works fine .. I am just about to install Aslains XVM .. am I doing anything wrong ? I'm just running aslains xvm with standard install folder (ie: C drive etc)

[timbo2410]

nope still not go ... am I just not getting this?

In the C drive I have a "Games" folder

In this folder I have a World_of_Tanks folder

In this folder I have a res_mods folder

In this folder I have a 0.9.15.1 folder .. it's there .. in place .. why the F*%k doesn't it work

have u tried  making  aslains installer an exception though antivirus , ie windows defender?

[timbo2410]

nope .. will look and see how

nope just tried that and exactly the same error .. what the hell is going on .. I've never had this problem before ..

[timbo2410]

Ok, I think I have found a problem here .. if I manually put the folder  0.9.15.1  in the res mods folder and run aslains XVM , it is deleted when the xvm is installing ? And yet if I try and run WOT without it, then it will not run at all? Cmon people, help me out here please ..

[Crooze66]

Right click the installer and select 'Run as administrator'. 

It sounds like something is not letting the installer recreate the 0.9.15.1 forlder.

 

If that doesn't work... create the 0.9.15.1 folder, run the installer and select 'Normal Install'. That should stop the installer from deleting the mod 0.9.15.1 folder.

Fail !

I can only start game in safe mode!

Waiting for the next try!

ok just did that and it didn't delete the 0.9.15.1 folder, about to play and see what happens .. thanks for the help :-)

ok the game starts now but I have no mods at all?

[Crooze66]

Wow.. I'm really stumped here.

After a successful install the res_mods folder should contain the following folders ... 0.9.15.1, configs, and mods. All those folder should have an assortment folders and/or files.

It sounds like your system is not letting the installer create the necessary files and folders. 

 

Have you tried to download a new copy of the installer? 

 

Someone else had mentioned creating an exception in you anti-virus software. <-- Is an excellent idea.

[timbo2410]

did all that .. my res mods folder contains the 0.9.15.0.1 .. note the difference .. when I try and run the game normally (not in safe mode), it asks for the 0.9.15.1 folder .. if  I place a new folder in the res mods folder called 0.9.15.1 then the game will start normally but without any of the mods ?? this is a clean install .. I've never had this problem before and never had to do this .. I even did a cclean and registry clean prior to installing the game again ..

Which installer are you talking about ? XVM installer or Aslains_WoT_Modpack_Installer_v.9.15.34 .. I'm using Aslains installer

[Crooze66]

Let me see if I understand correctly... You run the installer and it creates the 0.9.15.0.1 folder in res_mods?  That is for the previous patch. Are you using the 'Aslains_WoT_Modpack_Installer_v.9.15.1.03.exe' installer?

[timbo2410]

ummm no .. I've been running the auto update 9.15.34 ...

[Crooze66]

That would be your problem. Download the latest installer and you should be fine.

[timbo2410]

Downloaded and installed .. thank you so much for your help :-)

Are the greyed out sections in the mods section a result of the updates to WOT ?

[Crooze66]

Glad to hear everything is working now.

The greyed out items are not ready yet as they are still in the process of rewriting xvm.

You still might encounter some issues in game. Sometimes my escape and tab keys won't work in game.

[timbo2410]

funny you should say that. My left and right control buttons don't work ...

[Crooze66]

When that happens I restart the game. Sometimes it fixes it, sometimes it doesn't.

[timbo2410]

I'll give it a go :-)

[timbo2410]

hmm today I have no function from either control keys, escape key or tab ... I also cannot use mouse to highlight co-ordinates or use mouse to highlight commands ..?
