@Ectar do you have any information concerning this problem? Is WG going to fix that (/ take the map out of the rotation) any time soon?

WG cannot reliably replicate the problem and therefore cannot fix it.
X3N4s case above was the most extreme example of it I have ever seen. I've seen the odd player crashed there but it is very infrequent in my experience. Have only seen it a handful of time and it has never happened to me as I use standard render

Sometimes I think Niall is the real wiki of WoT. Not some useless equipment tips like putting a spall liner on your Maus but the stuff you actually need to know. +1 bro

But if a problem exists, should they keep a map or pull it out and internally solve a problem / find out? 

 

It's sucks that one map can cause this lot of fuzz for a long time, they buried many maps before this so i don't see why they hold up.

Just take it out of rotation already. Only ever saw a crash in the corner, never from the mid like with X3N4. That's ridiculous. It's not even a great map, I won't miss it.

Never crashed on SD, max texture/draw range, min everything else.

I will have another look the next time I log in and make sure the settings are right, and will risk going up north once again. I had Fishermans Bay yesterday but I sniped from the middle like a little bitch, didn't want to risk it because I was having a good game.

Only had shitty games all of yesterday because I was playing  with Tyne and his accent and voice is almost as good as Kolmios. Also everytime he saw me miss or crit he would go on a "HEHE FAMU VERI GUT KLEN YA?!" rampage just to throw me off even more. God damn sauna-nig*er. Best game: M46, 27 shots fired, 3 pen. Bouncing side of TVP with APCR, twice.

There is a difference between Standard Textures and the Standard Render.

Using the Improved render you get 2 texture options. The standard pack contains all the textures up to the high setting for general textures (I think map textures are included not sure)
The full textures includes the option to use the maximum texture quality option. this is the ONLY change in standard texture pack and the full one.


In the case of fishermans bay the standard client does not have any crashes on that map. The standard client is the version of the game engine that was used about 2 years ago. It has none of the lighting, shadows,weather effects etc that the new render brought. This is not connected in anyway with the textures you choose in the launcher. this is changed in the ingame setting in the graphics tab.

I use standard render for simplicity and the stable 120+ fps that I cannot achieve on the newer render as it is more demanding for more eye candy.
People get these 2 confused all the time hope I cleared it up.

Yeah exactly, that is what I was talking about. Sorry if it was not clear :x

Finally got the 300% crew xp reserves, finally done now with TVP. It's ok to play that tank for a few battles in-between but playing longer sessions on it is something I don't particularly enjoy even though you can get good results easily. Didn't play that good on this one, was some careless play but I just wanted to get this over with.

Yep map is bad anyway, maybe the most stale/locked/campy map in t10 tanks.

I thing you can get it crash just by aim zooming towards north border even if you yourself are in middle. And yes I have these crashes too, last one was couple days ago. Though I have also played dozens of matches there without problems, but I rarely go north edge so it helps. Have had those crashes for like years, always only in this map, over dozens of GPU driver versions (always using newest). Also there is lot of forum threads about these crashes in both NA and EU forums, just developer laziness bug still exists.

Do you plan on using the new zoom levels in 9.15?

No. I play a very low sensitivity anyway, 45cm on the mousepad is like 270° in game. I don't need it plus I think these zoom levels just give you the illusion that you can hit shots/weakspots on ranges where you actually can't.

Wow, that means quite a workout during a two hours long session

[DirtyACE7 514]

Really enjoying your replays X3N4! What is the next tank you plan to three mark?

Btw, I've been trying to play with low sensitivity on my mouse too but it feels so strange just how much more arm/hand movement you need at 400dpi. Have you always played on this sensitivity or something you've have realized works better in WoT?

Also, what happened to your latest twitch stream? You were playing the M48 and I watched only the first 10 minutes of it and was hoping to watch the rest but it's nowhere to be found on your channel?

[I_am_Polish 0]

Just got the M46 Paddon. Holy crap, I can see why you like this tank so much. Gun handling is just amazing. Accuracy is fairly shite but who gives a damn when you can reliably hit and pen tanks going full speed... Speaking of full speed, played my first 18 games without realising I had the stock engine equipped, not the 2nd. Was wondering why it was so slow. :/

So far I'm averaging 3573dmg / 73% WR over 30 games. After getting the top engine, damage is slowly rising, can actually get to decent positions now. WR will most likely drop but I'm not too bothered. This tank is so much fun. 

Loving the streams X3N4, keep them coming.

Probably IS-4 but it's gonna take a while, I'm not tryharding it. Just a few battles here and there

I played with an even lower sensitivity before, I'm used to it from playing CS 1.6. Increased it a little for WoT so I can actually go into sniper mode when an enemy is closer than 50m^^

When I have a shit session I just delete it, no point in having some salty shit on twitch.

Biggest reason I'm playing it so much is that I think it's almost on par with E-50 and my stats on it are terribad anyway from years back. So I can just chill out when playing it, no reason to tryhard. Plus I think it's more fun than E-50 even tho it's a little bit weaker. On top of that I'm kind of close to 4k overall, a few paddon games here and there accelerate my progression

Had a nice WoT weekend, here are some M48 battles I didn't stream today.

Would you be so kinda as to post a SS of your sensitivity settings in WoT?

6/10 in Windows with Win 10 mousefix to remove accel, 400 DPI on the mouse

[CarbonWard 3,529]

The extra zoom level allows you to target things you would previously have trouble targetting at lower zooms.

 

given how wot's automatic trajectory system works, this becomes rather helpful at times such as 400m+ shots against hulldown tanks.

If there was an option I'd enable x15 but leave x25 out. At a certain point I think it's just making you take shots you have a very low probability of hitting when instead you should relocate already.

[Snoregasm2 646]

If you're playing a med and sniping for pixels from 500m in the first place (for more than 1 or 2 quick shots), you're probably playing it wrong.

It's usually much better to relocate to a position where you don't need x25 zoom just to see the cupola properly. I've never understood that level of zoom for that reason - plus, it provides the illusion of extra accuracy to bads.

Ha, I was watching that game. That unfortunate yolo against the Leo...

[sahtila 95]

Btw zoom level and mouse sensivity are somewhat related: With high mouse sensitivity, its hard to aim on small targets so there using higher zoom level compensates inaccuracy of mouse. But then it costs little bit of situational awareness. Equally with low mouse sensivity higher zoom is not needed as much, mouse cursor moves slower/more accurately so its possibly to aim small targets even when using lower zoom levels.

Mouse sensitivity is also about invidual, there is no "The Right Way" to set it. Of course its good to experiment and try improve but do not blindly copy settings if they do not work for you.

Here is some table of CS:Go pro player settings:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1UaM765-S515ibLyPaBtMnBz7xiao0HL5f-F1zk_CSF4/htmlview?sle=true#

Seems average is somewhere aroud 45cm mouse movement for 360 degree camera move, but then there is literally 10x difference between pro's who uses high sensitivity and those who use low sensitivity. And it all works for them.
