World of tanks fail to launch

Good day. Thank you for all the hard work bringing gaming to Linux. I know that I would never have been able to do any of the brilliant things you are doing. I am truly in awe of your genius and now I need more of your genius power to help with a slight problem.

I am unable to launch World of tanks from the wargaming centre in Lutris.

Is there any other info you need? i will be happy to provide.

What happens is. I lauch wargaming centre and that works well. When I launch World of tanks, The game window shows up for awhile and then just goes away. Disappear. Does anyone have this? Can anyone help me solve this?

I would be much thankful

Can’t speak to LoL but right now Wargaming’s Game Center, Lutris, and the game it launches does not play nice. If you launch it from a command window, with Lutris closed, it should work fine. Which is something of a pain.

Do a search for World of Warships here on the forums, there’s a thread floating around which describes how to find the GameID and how to use that GameID to launch it using Lutris from a command line.

Thank you man. I will try this tonight. Please also post the reddit link

OK, now that I am at my gaming rig.

in a terminal run the following:

lutris -l | grep Wargaming

You should get something like the following:

 % lutris -l | grep Wargaming
2020-10-14 03:07:59,690: Running Lutris 0.5.6

2020-10-14 03:07:59,720: Shutting down Lutris

Ignore anything with a date, that’s just Lutris’ info. The line that starts with a number, in my case 31, is what you want. That tells you that the Wargaming Game Center is ID 31, and named wargaming-game-center.

To run from the command line without starting Lutris run one of the following, subbing in your gameID or name as appropriate.

lutris lutris:rungameid/31 
lutris lutris:rungame/wargaming-game-center

If your issue is that the game crashes because Lutris is running when WGC starts up, that should resolve that issue. There’s one more caveat. When running the game stick with the 5.7 series of Wine (latest that Lutris provides). However, if you need to patch you may need to use a later version of Wine. I use lutris-5.7-9-x86_64 for playing World of Warships, and WineHQ Staging (5.19 staging) when patching. For some reason the WGC has been failing to patch on 5.7-9 for me.

All of this is for World of Warships, but the last time I tried World of Tanks all the same voodoo worked in getting WoT to run. Hope this helps!

I have tried that. It didn’t work. However I am Linux fanatic and I just came up with my own solution:

Go to configure. Under system options tab at the bottom is environment variables.
It has 2 columns

I will paste what I did as follows column 1=column 2
IE if I say: yay=happy
That means yay goes in the left column and happy goes in the right column next to yay.

DXVK_HUD=0
DXVK_LOG_LEVEL=none
DXVK_STATE_CACHE_PATH=/home/ferret/Games/wargaming-game-center
PBA_DISABLE=0
STAGING_SHARED_MEMORY=0
WINEDLLOVERRIDES=1
WINE_LARGE_ADDRESS_AWARE=1
__GL_SHADER_DISK_CACHE=1
__GL_SHADER_DISK_CACHE_PATH=/home/ferret/Games/wargaming-game-center
__GL_THREADED_OPTIMIZATIONS=1
mesa_glthread=true

I am not sure what any of these settings do and I also have no Idea what exact combination of settings worked. I basically just copied the settings from other working games.

I am able to launch WOT from the wargaming centre with lutris still running.

How do I mark this thread as solved? :rofl: :rofl:

so this did not fix my tanks issue where it would actually launch and work, however for those who can’t even get it to install, switch your system runner under configuration to what ever your system is, mine was 5.18

I can play WoT using Lutris 5.8 with a terminal, wine: lutris-5.7-11, dxvk: 1.7.2L-5ca255d and with the settings above, I have not tried without them.
I think it is because of a new update to the wargaming launcher

I was able to play tanks threw the terminal, and a dance of wine versions for updates, but now lutris updated, and tanked it all, getting python-magic is to old. and seems its pretty much everyone across different Linux. So now I guess back to windows tell this is fixed somehow

I think it’s fault launcher becouse on mint i have problem with update and mast change prefix wine to wine dev or “system” if you have install wine. After swich game’s wgc download update. On majnaro don’t work always problem error 16 or error safety certificates
