Darkspore- dynamic, sci-fi online action RPG in which you will fight in the territory of several unusual worlds to save the galaxy from mutants.

The game provides cooperative passage for 4 people, and there is also a full single-player campaign. Not forgotten and multiplayer. To cope with opponents, you have to use a variety of "live" weapons and actively improve your own hero. When a genetic epidemic raged on the planet, the main character only miraculously did not turn into a mutant. Now he needs to prevent the impending universal cataclysm with the help of ancient heroes, who first need to be ... restored. Our task is to clear the planets from the villains from the army Darkspore. The developers have prepared several dozen fighters with unique characteristics(plus advanced editor own heroes!), however, it will be possible to take only three creatures with you to complete the task, skillfully combining their strengths and weaknesses

Plot:
Darkspore, a genetically mutated army, was created to have the unmatched intelligence of the Krogenites. However, soon Darkspore out of control of its creators. Distinctive feature Darkspore is the presence of E-DNA (E-DNA) - a substance that can cause entire planets to mutate. The player is a fugitive on the run who is given the mission to collect and improve various genetically mutated heroes from different parts of the galaxy with one goal - with the help of their unique abilities to prevent Darkspore seize control of the galaxy.

Peculiarities:
-Try yourself in the universe Darkspore: a fantasy Action-RPG with a dynamic storyline in which you have to fight in other worlds in the name of saving the galaxy from mutated forces Darkspore.
-Attack planets in co-op mode, fight hordes of fighters Darkspore and their leaders.
-Collect an arsenal of fighters, each with different combat abilities, upgrade them with tens of thousands of prefabricated body parts and armor.
-Create a truly unique creature and add distinctive features in the award-winning Spore creature editor.
-Release the creatures you created into the arena against the creatures of other players.
- Systematically destroy foci of infection Darkspore and free the galaxy in a unique, each time new, dynamic fantasy campaign.
-In Darkspore, players are waiting for dynamic battles in alien worlds, the fight to save the galaxy from hordes of mutants in four-player co-op and a full-scale single player campaign, as well as intense collective battles. In order to defeat the sinister Darkspore players will have to collect an arsenal of living weapons - genetic heroes with various combat abilities - and improve them with tens of thousands of body parts and armor.
-In Game Darkspore Heroes of three unique classes and five genetic types will be presented with limitless possibilities for changes and improvements implemented with the help of details that players will find on various levels of the planet. As the story progresses, the tension will rise as players face new worlds and enemy forces that will require them to choose the right squad and the right combination of Genetic Hero abilities to fight.

"Unable to install network connection in WOT. The server may not be available or you may need to check your network connection settings." Are you familiar with this message? Then you are right here. This message can appear for a hundred reasons. In this article, I will try to reveal the main ones.

At the very beginning, I would like you to clearly understand the decoding of this message. Although there is nothing special to understand here. Tanks swear that you either do not have the Internet, or the client for some reason cannot find a connection to game server. That is, you launched the client, which, in turn, tries to go online and find its server at a pre-known IP address, but the server does not respond to it and an error message is displayed accordingly. Next, for clarity, let's analyze exactly how the procedure for connecting to the game server goes:

Now, I hope, everyone is clear on the scheme by which it is necessary to find a problem that prevents the client from connecting to the server. Let's go further...

By the way, in more detail about the bundle router -> provider -> game server I told in the article, because this equipment affects to a greater extent the "lags and friezes" in the game. If you have a very high ping, then you are welcome to read.

How are we going to fight?
BUT, the very first step will be the entrance to the wargaming portal dedicated to tanks. Welcome! What if some work is going on on the servers now. The developers inform about this in advance and even describe the time during which the servers will not be available and they place all this on their website, so do not be shy and go.

Next, we go along the "scheme". After the game client, the first obstacle is the firewall. Disable it (instruction) and try to enter the game. Happened? Congratulations! Play with the firewall turned off or read the article below.

So we've identified the culprit. Now you need to open ports and create rules for this "mind" (windows firewall). But first, let's do the same only in automatic mode.

Let's go download .bat file from wargaming server:

It's not a virus, don't worry. You can open it with Notepad++ and see. Here is its content:

@ECHO OFF set Arg1="%~d0%~p0WorldOfTanks.exe" set Arg2="%~d0%~p0WoTLauncher.exe" IF NOT EXIST %Arg2% GOTO errorwotl netsh firewall add allowedprogram %Arg2% WoTLauncher enable all netsh firewall add portopening udp 20010-20020,32800-32900,12000-29999,5060,5062,3478,3479,3432,30443,53,6881-7881,1900 7881 wot-tcp enable IF NOT EXIST %Arg1% GOTO errorwot netsh firewall add allowedprogram %Arg1% WorldOfTanks enable all chcp 1251 >NUL set text_y="WorldOfTanks.exe" and "WoTLauncher.exe" successfully added to firewall exclusion list. chcp 866 >NUL echo %text_y% GOTO exit:errorwotl chcp 1251 >NUL set text=Could not find file "WoTLauncher". Make sure the file is located in the folder with the game client. chcp 866 >NUL echo %text% GOTO exit:errorwot chcp 1251 >NUL set text_l="WoTLauncher" successfully added to firewall exception list. Could not find file 'WorldOfTanks.exe'. Make sure that game client updated to latest version. chcp 866 >NUL echo %text_l% :exit PAUSE

Now start the game and try to connect to any server. Well, how? Working? We defeated the message "Unable to establish a network connection in WoT", HOORAY! Let's go play and don't bother with anything else! If it does not work, then we go to do everything manually.

In order for the message “Unable to establish a network connection in WoT” to no longer occur, it is necessary that some ports are opened for the launcher and the game client in the firewall, here they are:

For WorldOfTanks.exe:
- UDP ranges from 32800 to 32900, from 20010 to 20020 and UDP port 53;
- TCP ports 80, 443.

For work voice chat it is also necessary for WorldOfTanks.exe to open the UDP range from 12000 to 29999 and ports 5060, 5062, 3478, 3479, 3432, 30443.
For text chat to work, WorldOfTanks.exe needs to open TCP ports 5222 and 5223.

In addition, you can allow WorldOfTanks.exe UDP protocol and TCP protocol on any ports in both directions, thus allowing the firewall to pass any packets to any addresses for the game client.

For WOTLauncher.exe need to open:
-UDP ports 53, 6881, 1900.
-TCP ports 80, 443, 6881.

Well, how did it work? If yes, then happy for you. Well, if not, then do not despair and read on ...

The next obstacle to connecting to the server is the antivirus. If you do not have it, then skip this paragraph.
Try adding the game folder to the trusted zone of your antivirus. BUT before that, check your computer for viruses.
Everyone has different antiviruses, so the development team wrote a whole book with instructions for you and me, the link to which I give here. (Many thanks to them for the titanic work)
How to add the game client to the antivirus exclusion list.

You can also (but not necessarily) add a list of server IP addresses.

Servers RU1–RU9:
92.223.19.1 - 92.223.19.255
92.223.8.1 - 92.223.8.255
92.223.1.1 - 92.223.1.255
92.223.12.1 - 92.223.12.255
92.223.18.1 - 92.223.18.255
92.223.4.1 - 92.223.4.255
92.223.10.1 - 92.223.10.255
92.223.14.1 - 92.223.14.255
92.223.36.1 - 92.223.36.255
185.12.240.1 - 185.12.240.255
185.12.242.1 - 185.12.242.255
The range of addresses required for the launcher and portal to work:
185.12.241.1 - 185.12.241.255.
Ranges of server addresses required for voice communications:
64.94.253.1 - 64.94.253.255
74.201.99.1 - 74.201.99.255

In some cases, disabling the antivirus and firewall does not solve the problem - the ports remain closed.

Here either the network connection is buggy, or itself Windows already the horses are moving By the way, because of this, lags and brakes in the game may appear. How to deal with them is written. Now let's try to reset the TCP / IP network settings and all sockets from the Windows command line using the command netsh winsock reset.

We start the command line:

– For Windows XP: Click Start > Run. In the window that opens, enter cmd.exe and click OK.

– For Windows Vista and Windows 7: click Start, in the “Start Search” field, enter cmd, click right click mouse over the cmd.exe file and select "Run as administrator".

- For Windows 8: on the desktop, press the key combination Win + X. In the menu that opens, select "Command Prompt (Administrator)".

Type in command line team netsh winsock reset and press Enter.

Now it remains only to restart the computer.

Well, how are you there with the message "Unable to establish a network connection in WoT"? Victory? Hurray!!! Keep it up! Well, now you can fight! Good luck on the battlefields, dear tankers and tankers!

Share in the comments which method helped you…

Unfortunately, there are flaws in games: brakes, low FPS, crashes, freezes, bugs and other minor and not very errors. Often problems begin before the game even starts, when it won't install, won't load, or won't even download. Yes, and the computer itself is sometimes weird, and then in Darkspore, instead of a picture, a black screen, control does not work, no sound is heard or anything else.

What to do first

1. Download and run the world famous CCleaner(download from a direct link) is a program that will clean your computer of unnecessary garbage, as a result of which the system will work faster after the first reboot;
2. Update all drivers in the system using the program Driver Updater(download via direct link) - it will scan your computer and update all drivers to the latest version in 5 minutes;
3. Install the program WinOptimizer(download from a direct link) and turn on the game mode in it, which will end useless background processes during game launch and increase performance in the game.

The second thing to do if you encounter any problems with Darkspore is to check the system requirements. In a good way, you need to do this even before the purchase, so as not to regret the money spent.

Every gamer should at least have a little understanding of the components, to know why a video card, processor and other things are needed in the system unit.

Files, drivers and libraries

Almost every device in a computer requires a set of special software. These are drivers, libraries and other files that ensure the correct operation of the computer.

It's worth starting with the drivers for the video card. Modern graphic cards manufactured by only two large companies - Nvidia and AMD. Having found out which product spins the coolers in the system unit, we go to the official website and download the package of fresh drivers:

A prerequisite for the successful functioning of Darkspore is the availability of the latest drivers for all devices in the system. Download the utility Driver Updater to easily and quickly download the latest drivers and install them with one click:

If Darkspore does not start, we recommend that you try disabling your antivirus or put the game in the antivirus exceptions, and also check again for compliance system requirements and if something from your assembly does not match, then, if possible, improve your PC by purchasing more powerful components.

Darkspore has black screen, white screen, color screen. Decision

Problems with screens of different colors can be roughly divided into 2 categories.

Firstly, they are often associated with the use of two video cards at once. For example, if your motherboard has a built-in video card, but you are playing on a discrete one, then Darkspore may run on the built-in one for the first time, while you will not see the game itself, because the monitor is connected to a discrete video card.

Secondly, color screens happen when there are problems with displaying the image on the screen. This can happen for various reasons. For example, Darkspore cannot work through an outdated driver or does not support a video card. Also black/ White screen may be displayed when running at resolutions that are not supported by the game.

Darkspore crashes. At a certain or random moment. Decision

You play for yourself, play and here - bam! - everything goes out, and now you have a desktop without any hint of the game. Why it happens? To solve the problem, it is worth trying to figure out what the nature of the problem is.

If the flight takes place in random moment time without any regularity, then with a probability of 99% we can say that this is a mistake of the game itself. In this case, fixing something is very difficult, and the best thing is to just put Darkspore aside and wait for the patch.

However, if you know exactly at what moments the crash occurs, then you can continue the game, avoiding situations that provoke a crash.

However, if you know exactly at what moments the crash occurs, then you can continue the game, avoiding situations that provoke a crash. In addition, you can download the Darkspore save and bypass the departure point.

Darkspore freezes. The picture freezes. Decision

The situation is about the same as with crashes: many freezes are directly related to the game itself, or rather, to the developer's mistake when creating it. However, a frozen picture can often become a starting point for investigating the deplorable state of a video card or processor.

So if the picture in Darkspore freezes, then use the programs to display statistics on the loading of components. Perhaps your video card has long exhausted its working life or the processor is heating up to dangerous temperatures?

The easiest way to check the loading and temperatures for the video card and processors is in the MSI Afterburner program. If desired, you can even display these and many other parameters on top of the Darkspore image.

What temperatures are dangerous? Processors and video cards have different operating temperatures. For video cards, they are usually 60-80 degrees Celsius. The processors are slightly lower - 40-70 degrees. If the processor temperature is higher, then you should check the condition of the thermal paste. It may have dried out and needs to be replaced.

If the video card is heating up, then you should use the driver or the official utility from the manufacturer. You need to increase the number of revolutions of the coolers and see if the operating temperature drops.

Darkspore slows down. Low FPS. Frame rate drops. Decision

With slowdowns and low frame rates in Darkspore, the first step is to lower the graphics settings. Of course, there are a lot of them, so before reducing everything in a row, you should find out exactly how certain settings affect performance.

Screen resolution. In short, this is the number of points that make up the picture of the game. The higher the resolution, the higher the load on the video card. However, the increase in load is negligible, so reducing the screen resolution should only be the last resort, when everything else does not help.

Texture quality. Typically, this setting determines the resolution of texture files. Decrease the quality of textures if the video card has a small amount of video memory (less than 4 GB) or if you are using a very old hard drive with a spindle speed of less than 7200.

Model quality(sometimes just details). This setting determines which set of 3D models will be used in the game. The higher the quality, the more polygons. Accordingly, high-poly models require more processing power of the video card (not to be confused with the amount of video memory!), which means that this parameter should be reduced on video cards with a low core or memory frequency.

Shadows. They are implemented in different ways. In some games, shadows are created dynamically, that is, they are calculated in real time every second of the game. Such dynamic shadows load both the processor and the video card. In order to optimize, developers often abandon the full rendering and add a pre-render of shadows to the game. They are static, because in fact they are just textures that are superimposed on top of the main textures, which means they load memory, and not the core of the video card.

Often, developers add additional settings related to shadows:

• Shadow Resolution - determines how detailed the shadow cast by the object will be. If the game has dynamic shadows, then it loads the core of the video card, and if a pre-created render is used, then it “eats” the video memory.
• Soft shadows - smoothing out bumps on the shadows themselves, usually this option is given along with dynamic shadows. Regardless of the type of shadows, it loads the video card in real time.

Smoothing. It allows you to get rid of ugly corners at the edges of objects by using a special algorithm, the essence of which is usually to generate several images at once and compare them, calculating the most “smooth” image. There are many different anti-aliasing algorithms that differ in their level of impact on Darkspore performance.

For example, MSAA works head-on, creating 2, 4, or 8 renders at once, so the frame rate is reduced by 2, 4, or 8 times, respectively. Algorithms such as FXAA and TAA operate a little differently, achieving a smooth image by calculating only the edges and using some other tricks. Because of this, they do not reduce performance as much.

Lighting. As in the case of anti-aliasing, there are different algorithms for lighting effects: SSAO, HBAO, HDAO. All of them use the resources of the video card, but they do it differently depending on the video card itself. The fact is that the HBAO algorithm was promoted mainly on video cards from Nvidia (GeForce line), so it works best on the “green” ones. HDAO, on the other hand, is optimized for AMD graphics cards. SSAO is the simplest type of lighting, it consumes the least resources, so in case of slowdowns in Darkspore, it is worth switching to it.

What should be lowered first? Shadows, anti-aliasing, and lighting effects are usually the most stressful, so it's best to start with them.

Often gamers themselves have to deal with the optimization of Darkspore. For almost all major releases, there are various related and forums where users share their ways to improve productivity.

One of them is a special program called WinOptimizer. It is made specifically for those who do not want to manually clean up the computer from various temporary files, delete unnecessary registry entries and edit the startup list. WinOptimizer will do this for you, as well as analyze your computer to find ways to improve application and game performance.

Darkspore is lagging. Big game delay. Decision

Many people confuse "lag" with "lag", but these problems have completely different causes. Darkspore slows down when the frame rate at which the image is displayed on the monitor decreases, and lags when the delay when accessing the server or any other host is too high.

That is why "lags" can only be in network games. The reasons are different: bad network code, physical distance from servers, network congestion, incorrectly configured router, low Internet connection speed.

However, the latter is the least common. In online games, communication between the client and the server occurs by exchanging relatively short messages, so even 10 MB per second should be enough for the eyes.

Darkspore has no sound. I can not hear anything. Decision

Darkspore works, but for some reason does not sound - this is another problem that gamers face. Of course, you can play like that, but it's still better to figure out what's the matter.

First you need to determine the scope of the problem. Where exactly is there no sound - only in the game or in general on the computer? If only in the game, then perhaps this is due to the fact that the sound card is very old and does not support DirectX.

If there is no sound at all, then the matter is definitely in the computer settings. Perhaps the sound card drivers are not installed correctly, or maybe there is no sound due to some specific error of our favorite Windows OS.

Controls don't work in Darkspore. Darkspore does not see the mouse, keyboard or gamepad. Decision

How to play if it is impossible to control the process? The problems of supporting specific devices are irrelevant here, because we are talking about familiar devices - keyboard, mouse and controller.

Thus, errors in the game itself are practically excluded, almost always the problem is on the user's side. You can solve it in different ways, but, one way or another, you will have to turn to the driver. Usually, when you connect a new device, the operating system immediately tries to use one of the standard drivers, but some models of keyboards, mice, and gamepads are not compatible with them.

Thus, you need to find out the exact model of the device and try to find exactly its driver. Often, devices from well-known gaming brands come with their own software kits, since the standard Windows driver simply cannot ensure the correct operation of all the functions of a particular device.

If you don’t want to look for drivers for all devices separately, you can use the program Driver Updater. It is designed to automatically search for drivers, so you only need to wait for the scan results and download the necessary drivers in the program interface.

Quite often, brakes in Darkspore can be caused by viruses. In this case, there is no difference how powerful the video card is in the system unit. You can check your computer and clean it of viruses and other unwanted software using special programs. For example NOD32 . The antivirus has proven itself from the best side and has received the approval of millions of users around the world.

Suitable for both personal use and small businesses, ZoneAlarm is able to protect your computer with operating system Windows 10, Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista and Windows XP from any attacks: phishing, viruses, malware, spyware and other cyber threats. New users are given a 30-day free trial.

Nod32 is an antivirus from ESET, which has received many awards for its contribution to the development of security. Versions of anti-virus programs for both PC and mobile devices are available on the developer's website, a 30-day trial version is provided. There are special conditions for business.

Darkspore downloaded from torrent does not work. Decision

Using such versions of games is not only inconvenient, but even dangerous, because very often many files have been changed in them. For example, to bypass protection, pirates modify an EXE file. However, no one knows what else they do with it. Maybe they embed self-executing software. For example, which, when the game is first launched, will be integrated into the system and will use its resources to ensure the well-being of hackers. Or, giving access to the computer to third parties. There are no guarantees and there cannot be.

In addition, the use pirated versions- this, according to our publication, theft. The developers have spent a lot of time creating the game, investing their own money in the hope that their offspring will pay off. And every work must be paid.

Therefore, if you encounter any problems with games downloaded from torrents or hacked using certain means, you should immediately remove the "pirate", clean your computer with an antivirus and licensed copy games. This will not only save you from dubious software, but also allow you to download updates for the game and receive official support from its creators.

Darkspore gives an error about the missing DLL file. Decision

As a rule, problems associated with the absence of DLLs arise when Darkspore is launched, however, sometimes the game can access certain DLLs in the process and, without finding them, crash in the most impudent manner.

To fix this error, you need to find the required DLL and install it on the system. The easiest way to do this is with a program. DLL fixer, which scans the system and helps you quickly find missing libraries.

If your problem turned out to be more specific, or if the method described in this article did not help, then you can ask other users in our "" section. They will promptly help you!

We thank you for your attention!

If Darkspore crashes, Darkspore will not start, Darkspore not installing, there are no controls in Darkspore, no sound in game, errors happen in Darkspore – we offer you the most common ways to solve these problems.

First, check if your PC meets the minimum system requirements:

• OS: Windows XP/Vista
• Processor: Pentium IV 2 GHz/2.4 GHz (Vista)
• Memory: 1.5 GB
• Video: 128 Mb
• HDD: 6.5 GB

Be sure to update your video card drivers and other software

Before you remember the worst words and express them towards the developers, do not forget to go to the official website of the manufacturer of your video card and download the latest drivers. Often, specially optimized drivers are prepared for the release of games. You can also try installing a later version of the drivers if the problem is not solved by installing the current version.

It is important to remember that you should only download the final versions of video cards - try not to use beta versions, as they may have a large number of bugs not found and not fixed.

Do not forget that games often require the latest version of DirectX to be installed, which can always be downloaded from the official Microsoft website.

Darkspore won't launch

Many problems with launching games happen due to incorrect installation. Check if there were any errors during the installation, try to uninstall the game and run the installer again, after disabling the antivirus - often the files necessary for the game to work are deleted by mistake. It is also important to remember that in the path to the folder with installed game there should be no Cyrillic characters - use only Latin letters and numbers for directory names.

It still does not hurt to check if there is enough space on the HDD for installation. You can try to run the game as administrator in compatibility mode for different versions Windows.

Darkspore slows down. Low FPS. Logs. Friezes. hangs up

First - install the latest drivers for the video card, from this FPS in the game can rise significantly. Also check the computer's load in the task manager (opened by pressing CTRL + SHIFT + ESCAPE). If, before starting the game, you see that some process is consuming too many resources, turn off its program or simply end this process from the task manager.

Next, go to the graphics settings in the game. First of all, turn off anti-aliasing and try lowering the settings responsible for post-processing. Many of them consume a lot of resources and disabling them will significantly increase performance without greatly affecting the quality of the picture.

Darkspore crashes to desktop

If Darkspore often crashes to your desktop, try lowering the graphics quality to start solving the problem. It is possible that your computer simply does not have enough performance and the game cannot work correctly. Also worth checking out for updates - most modern games have a system for automatically installing new patches. Check if this option is disabled in the settings.

Black screen in Darkspore

More often than not, the problem with the black screen is an issue with the GPU. Check if your video card satisfies minimum requirements and install the latest drivers. Sometimes a black screen is the result of insufficient CPU performance.

If everything is fine with the hardware, and it meets the minimum requirements, try switching to another window (ALT + TAB), and then return to the game window.

Darkspore is not installed. Installation stuck

First of all, check if you have enough HDD space for installation. Remember that for correct operation The installer requires the advertised amount of space, plus 1-2 gigabytes of free space on the system drive. In general, remember the rule - the system drive should always have at least 2 gigabytes of free space for temporary files. Otherwise, both games and programs may not work correctly or refuse to start at all.

Installation problems can also occur due to lack of Internet connection or its unstable operation. Also, do not forget to suspend the antivirus while installing the game - sometimes it interferes with the correct copying of files or deletes them by mistake, considering them viruses.

Saves not working in Darkspore

By analogy with the previous solution, check the availability of free space on the HDD - both on the one where the game is installed and on the system drive. Often save files are stored in a folder of documents, which is located separately from the game itself.

Controls not working in Darkspore

Sometimes the controls in the game do not work due to the simultaneous connection of several input devices. Try disabling the gamepad, or if for some reason you have two keyboards or mice connected, leave only one pair of devices. If the gamepad does not work for you, then remember that only controllers that are defined as Xbox joysticks officially support games. If your controller is defined differently, try using programs that emulate Xbox joysticks (for example, x360ce).

Sound not working in Darkspore

Check if the sound works in other programs. After that, check if the sound is turned off in the settings of the game itself and if the sound playback device is selected there, to which your speakers or headset are connected. Next, while the game is running, open the mixer and check if the sound is muted there.

If you are using an external sound card- check for new drivers on the manufacturer's website.

Gaming News

GAMES The official announcement is due today. complete list Kombat Pack 1 for fighting game Mortal Kombat 11. Shang Tsung and Nightwolf became available earlier, Sindel and Spawn were also announced. Now a little early...

There are a lot of complaints from players about an error in connecting to World of Tanks. In this article we will tell you how to solve the problem with the connection of three different ways and dwell on each in detail. The solution is suitable for those who, when connecting to tanks, receive the following error:

Unable to connect to server

• The server may not be available or you may need to check your network connection settings.

Connection problem in tanks

The player himself writes about given error following:

On test server it doesn’t work either, I play other games without any problems, I’m in the TS, I write on the forum, the updates have been downloaded and installed on the test server, but I can’t enter the game. There are no mods.

Decision

Option 1.

According to our data, this problem occurs for those players who use xDSL (ADSL 2+) technology and a high-speed modem to connect to the Internet. Immediately after the previous patch, the World of Tanks server began to cut off tankers with an unstable network connection from the game. All cases spoke specifically about a modem connection, which, by the way, is high-speed and is not inferior in stability to ETTx and even xPON technology, if no more than 300 meters of a copper pair are laid from the player’s computer to the PBX. However, ADSL is able to provide Internet access even at distances of several kilometers (here the connection quality drops sharply).

Solution for option 1. If you use ADSL, try to consider alternative options for accessing the Internet using more stable PON (optics to PC) or ETTH (optics to the home with RJ-45 twisted-pair twisted pair to users) technologies.

Option 2.

These are, of course, the network settings of your personal computer, which are mentioned in the error in connecting to the tanks. This primarily includes configuring the router, NAT, issuing permissions to connect to the worldoftanks.exe file in firewalls and adding exceptions to firewalls. Also opening ports used to connect to WOT.

Solution for option 2. Places to look to check your network connection settings if the server is unavailable include:

1. Settings of the used network card and adapter parameters (DNS, IP address, gateway in the TCP/IP protocol).
2. Network connection settings. Namely: a shortcut through which you connect to the Internet (relevant for bridging connections); web interface of the router or modem at: http://192.168.1.1 with login admin and password admin (relevant for PPoE connections).
3. Firewall settings built into the antivirus. It is done through the antivirus management program. Add an exception in blocking connections with World server of Tanks for the executable file of the same name with the .exe extension from the game folder.
4. Windows firewall settings. Here you should also allow a connection to the World of Tanks server by adding an exception for the game.
5. Network group settings (home, public, and others).

Option 3

This is a rare but not unimportant situation that can cause an error in which a connection to the server cannot be established. This includes blocking the player's IP address on the World of Tanks server you are trying to connect to. The MAC address (hardware address that identifies a device on the network) can also be blocked.

Solution for option 3. We recommend that you change the static IP address given to you by your ISP. If you have a dynamic IP address, it is enough to reconnect the Internet to change your IP address to a new one. In the case of blocking by MAC address, you will have to contact Wargaming with a request to unlock the MAC of your network card, modem or PC (unless, of course, you are going to change them or use another computer, modem, router and network card to connect to World of Tanks ).
