No one here can give you a definitive answer to your question. Because in this situation there can be 1,000 reasons. It is clear that jumps also depend on Internet failures. But after all and in computer can be deal. Here, most likely, that first you need to test the computer itself. But first of all, you need to check if everything is in order with the Internet. There may also be failures due to any "technical problems".
Hello everyone, this is the Internet, but most likely my router is buggy when several computers turn on, as I understand it, the corporate Internet has a splitter (router) find and look at the bandwidth, check the Internet itself for the speed that comes to your computer, if you have an Internet modem, it’s definitely because of him, he used it at one time (beeline) it’s rather weak, look at the ping and fps, if it twitches, most likely you have a ping of at least 100-150
If the Internet "flies", but the game lags, then there may be problems in the data transmission channel.
The data channel has several parameters:
- "width" of the channel - the maximum speed of information transfer. This setting has the most impact on downloading data.
- channel latency - the duration of the period from sending a request to receiving a response. This parameter directly affects ping and online games.
- link reliability is the ratio of the number of packets with errors to the total number of packets. This parameter can manifest itself most of all as unexpected lags in online games.
Consider what can affect the reliability of the channel:
- Overload of the network node through which traffic passes. It can be any router, including the one you have. You can check by sending packets at the same time ping
- Problems with the channel between the nodes through which the traffic passes. It can be any intermediate channel, including WiFi from your computer to the router. You can check by sending packets at the same time ping on 2 different intermediate nodes, analyzing the results of both sessions, it is possible to identify on which node losses appear;
- Loading the channel with extraneous traffic, causing channel congestion. Such a problem can only be identified through the provider, but it is part of problems #1 and #2.
In this situation, it is desirable to understand whether there are losses in the channel and whether its latency is changing. Next, you should understand at what interval of the channel these changes occur. If you have a problematic part of the channel, deal with the elimination of the causes yourself, if not for you, communicate with the provider.
The BigWorld engine used in the game, although it provides a chic server part, the structure of which is capable of holding enormous loads and excludes the possibility of using classic cheats, the client part is a little lame, in particular in terms of optimization, distribution of resource use on multi-core computers, as well as graphics. But what to do if world of tanks slows down?
First you need to understand whether your patient (computer) is alive or rather dead, look at the settings and look at the characteristics. Here are the minimum system requirements recommended by the game developers themselves:
- Operating system: Windows XP /Vista /7 /8
- Processor (CPU): 2.2 GHz
- RAM: 1.5 GB for Windows XP, 2 GB for Windows Vista/7
- Video adapter: GeForce 6800/ ATI X800 with 256 MB of memory, DirectX 9.0c
- Audio card: DirectX 9.0c compatible
- Free hard disk space: 9 GB
- Internet connection speed: 256 Kbps
This does not mean that if your computer does not reach the minimum, then the game will not start. It's just that the greater the gap between your system parameters and these characteristics (for the worse), the more difficult it will be for you to play as a result of various brakes.
Understanding the cause of the problem
Let's see why it may not be comfortable to play World of Tanks. The game slows down primarily due to lack of system resources. If the funds allow you, then of course the best option would be to buy a new PC or at least replace the processor or add RAM (if the system allows it).
What should you pay attention to? Let's take a look at a few responsible pieces of iron:
- processor is the head of your computer
- video card - responsible for the graphics
- RAM - stores temporary data in its buffer
Even if one of these elements is a weak link, then you can catch the brakes. Of course, within the framework of this article, we will not delve into such equally important details as the motherboard bus or the core frequency of the video card.
Freeing up memory
Why World of Tanks slows down, we have already superficially sorted it out, now let's take action.
If there is not enough video memory
Your weak video card is to blame here. This deficiency is treated by reducing the quality of graphics in the game settings. You can also resort to the program to disable additional effects that are not so easy to cut out in the game.
If there is not enough RAM
We have to build on what we have. If you have 2GB installed or less, then my advice to you is to buy more. The RAM is not expensive now, I took 2 strips of 1,000 rubles each for 8 gigs, although it could be found cheaper.
But, if there is no such possibility, well, we release the operative. First of all, even before the launch of the game and reasonable questions "what to do if the world of tanks lags", you need to see what programs you have running. Close everything! Browser, player, all sorts of skype with ICQ and qips, torrents and other programs. We close everything!
If it doesn’t help, you can resort to the help of special software that frees the RAM from unused data. One of these programs is Wise Memory Optimizer, instructions for which you can see in this video:
Additionally
For those who are experiencing problems, they wonder when playing without comfort in World of Tanks - why does the game freeze? If all of the above tips did not help, then you can get a little hardcore and delve into the issue of optimizing the client and your computer as a whole.

Slows down World of Tanks? Or do you have a weak computer? Or did you enter the game after the next update and WoT began to slow down terribly? If all this is familiar to you, but this course of events does not suit you, then we read this article to the end, delving into every line of the text. And, if everything is done correctly, then you will part with the brakes of the game forever ...
So let's start:
Why World of Tanks slows down:
First, let's check such a banal thing as system requirements. I know, I know, now start:
So, minimum system requirements for playing world of tanks:
Operating system: Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10.
256 Kbps.
Processor (CPU): and here is the most interesting in 2014 this figure was 2.2 GHz, in 2015 added to the numbers: "supporting SSE2 technology", A in 2016, the numbers 2.2 GHz were removed, but written in words "With two or more physical cores"(but as far as I know, 2 cores began to be released as soon as the processor frequency exceeded the threshold of 2.6 GHz, so we draw conclusions)
Random access memory (RAM): 1.5 GB for Windows XP, 2 GB for Windows Vista, Windows 7/8/10.
Video adapter: GeForce 6800/ ATI HD X2400 XT with 256 MB of memory, DirectX 9.0c.
Audio: compatible with DirectX 9.0c.
about 27 GB.
The minimum requirements, therefore, are minimal because you start the game, but it will be difficult to play comfortably, believe me. So it is unlikely that the client will be able to remove the “brakes” and “freezes”. Here you can’t do without upgrading your hardware ... The parts recommended for replacement are, of course, the processor, video card and RAM ...
Operating system: Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10 - 64-bit.
Internet connection speed: 1024 kbps or higher (for voice chat).
Processor (CPU): Intel Core i5-3330 (for those who do not know: 4 cores at 3 GHz - not sickly).
Random access memory (RAM): 4 GB (or more).
Video adapter: GeForce GTX660 (2 GB) / Radeon HD 7850 2 GB, DirectX 9.0c.
Audio card: compatible with DirectX 9.0c.
Free hard disk space:~36 GB.
The recommended requirements are certainly not exorbitant, but for old computers it is, as they say, “like walking to China” and if you are reading this article, then you have something in between these two characteristics. As usual, either the video is weak, or the RAM is not enough, or the percentage was inherited from someone's "piece of iron"
Slows down World of Tanks! Well, what can be done here?
If you have lags and brakes due to the processor and even more so if this very processor is single-core, then you can’t do anything about it, will have to change, well, he “does not take out” the game now, although in 2014 it was still possible to play on this ... alas
By the way, I wrote about how to choose a good computer in an article, I recommend reading it.
Next comes random access memory (RAM). What can be done with her? Physically, of course, nothing. But you can, after all, remove unnecessary garbage, all the programs that are loaded in your tray (who doesn’t know, the tray is where the Windows clock is, usually the lower right corner). That's why you need all sorts of managers there when playing (viber, mail, icq, skype, etc.) - close it! Torrent?! Definitely OFF! Not only does he "eat" the operative, he also clogs the Internet channel. Next, the browser, brrrr ... Look in the manager how much Google Chrome “eats”. Be horrified! We close! The rest of the browsers (because they also consume a lot), we also close it! I would even close the antivirus for the duration of the game (by the way, NOD32 has a game mode that frees up a certain amount of RAM for games), and it’s not possible to completely disable any antivirus so simply.
Special aesthetes use programs like Wise Memory Optimizer, which clean up memory from unused data (personally, I would not recommend using these, because I myself caught the “blue screen of death” on a test computer with winXR installed).
It’s better, of course, to buy RAM up to a decent 4 GB, especially if you have an old computer, then the RAM for it (DDR, DDR2) will cost mere pennies, and the comfort from it will be felt for a very, very long time. On the test machine, I played on a dual-channel RAMe (DDR2) of 4 GB (2x2GB) and everything was fine!
Next in line is ours video card.
If there is not enough video memory, then we try to remove the excess using the program W.O.T. Tweaker downloading it for the current version of the game client on the Internet. In the tweaker, you can remove such extras. effects that cannot be disabled from the game client, such as flying dirt from under the tracks, optical effects from a burning tank, etc. But it's worth it, trust me!
If the fps in the game shows too little 5-10, then you can try starting the client in "safe mode": 
this will disable all installed mods and you can safely say that fps sags due to mods. For example, I met fps drawdown from mod . About more detailed graphics settings, I will post a video clip at the end of the article. Read more…
It happens to someone that the computer hardware is far from weak, and up to the latest versions, and in the tray it doesn’t hang out anything extra (like a torrent), but the worl of tanks slows down anyway. Then the problem is most likely in the Internet provider. Pay attention to the ping in the game, if it exceeds 50 ms, then something is wrong, or the provider is to blame, or you are running some kind of program that requires an Internet connection, or a virus, such as a Trojan, has got into your computer, which constantly sends packages on your internet channel.
A word about 3G modems
Pro 3G modems(4G modems) I don't want to talk here. A whole article has been written about this:. In it, I explained why everything is so bad when playing via a USB modem and which WoT game server you don’t connect to, the ping is still huge, sometimes up to 300 ms. It remains only to regret such people who, apart from 3G, do not have any i-net, and there are not a few of them. And to say that the world of tanks is slowing down for them is to say nothing ...
Well, and probably the last reason that lies in the operating system itself. As the programmers say “windows must die” ... And they don’t say it for nothing. During the operation of Windows, any slag is collected in the system registry, ranging from old entries about long-deleted programs and games to new entries from some satellite mail, Yandex browser and, God forbid, from some kind of virus that alone can create up to a million false registry entries in order to load the full percent.
So, over time, all this loads the work of the operating system itself, then how long it takes for programs to start running or the same text editor for a very long time opens or saves documents. Here know that Windows has come to an end. And do not expect from her super speeds and even more comfortable playing WoT.
There are only 2 ways out. The easiest and almost painless for the brain is to remove Windows and install a new one. The second is to start a complete cleaning of the computer, removing unnecessary programs, defragmenting disks, cleaning the registry. Long and painful. But it's up to you.
Well, as promised, at the end of the article I post video from the developers themselves(by the way, many thanks to them for it) about how to optimize graphics in World of Tanks. This video talks in detail about what fps is and what each slider in the settings is responsible for, how you can achieve an increase in fps and what it will cost.
Adjusting graphics in WoT since version 1.0
And that's all for me! Many thanks to all those who mastered this article to the end! Good luck in setting up the client, huge fps to you and no lags, so that later you don’t ask why World of Tanks is slowing down.
Do not forget to share in the comments who and how defeated lags, brakes and friezes in World of Tanks. After all, your comment can help a hundred or even a thousand people!
Dear players, before asking your question, take the trouble to read all the comments, perhaps there is already an answer to it. All duplicate questions will be ignored. Thanks for understanding!
Good day.
All fans of games (and not fans, I think too) were faced with the fact that the running game began to slow down: the picture changed jerkily on the screen, twitched, sometimes it seems that the computer freezes (for half a second or a second). This can happen for various reasons, and it is not always so easy to establish the "culprit" of such lags ( lag - translated from English: lag, delay).
As part of this article, I want to focus on the most common reasons why games start to jerk and slow down. And so, let's start to figure it out in order ...
1. Required system characteristics of the game
The first thing I want to immediately pay attention to is the system requirements of the game and the characteristics of the computer on which it is launched. The fact is that many users (based on my experience) confuse the minimum requirements with the recommended ones. An example of minimum system requirements is usually always indicated on the package with the game (see example in Fig. 1).
Rice. 1. Minimum system requirements "Gothic 3"
The recommended system requirements, most often, are either not indicated at all on the game disc, or they can be viewed during installation (in some file readme.txt). In general, today, when most computers are connected to the Internet, finding out such information is not long and not difficult 🙂
If the lags in the game are associated with old hardware, then, as a rule, it is rather difficult to achieve a comfortable game without updating components (but in some cases it is possible to partially correct the situation, about them below in the article).
By the way, I don’t open America, but replacing an old video card with a new one can significantly increase PC performance and remove brakes and freezes in games. A rather good assortment of video cards is presented in the price.ua catalog - you can find the most productive video cards in Kiev (you can sort by 10 parameters using filters in the sidebar of the site. I also recommend that you look at the tests before buying. The question was partially raised about them in this article:).
2. Drivers for the video card (choosing the “necessary” ones and fine-tuning them)
Probably, I will not exaggerate much, saying that the work of the video card is of great importance for performance in games. And the operation of the video card depends heavily on the installed drivers.
The fact is that different versions of drivers can behave completely differently: sometimes the older version works better than the newer one (sometimes, vice versa). In my opinion, the best way is to test it experimentally by downloading several versions from the manufacturer's official website.
Regarding driver updates, I already had several articles, I recommend reading:
- best programs for auto-updating drivers:
- update drivers for Nvidia, AMD Radeon video cards:
- quick driver search:
Equally important are not only the drivers themselves, but also their configuration. The fact is that from the graphics settings you can achieve a significant increase in the speed of the video card. Since the topic of “fine” tuning of a video card is quite extensive so as not to be repeated, below I will provide links to a couple of my articles, which describe in detail how to do this.
3. What is the processor loaded with? (delete unnecessary applications)
Often the brakes in games appear not due to the low performance of the PC, but due to the fact that the computer processor is loaded not with the game, but with extraneous tasks. The easiest way to find out which programs “eat up” how many resources is to open the task manager (combination of buttons Ctrl + Shift + Esc).
Before launching games, it is highly desirable to close all programs that you will not need during the game: browsers, video editors, etc. Thus, all PC resources will be used by the game - as a result, fewer lags and a more comfortable game process.
By the way, one more important point: the processor can be loaded and not by specific programs that can be closed. In any case, with brakes in games - I recommend that you take a closer look at the processor load, and if it is sometimes "incomprehensible" in nature - I recommend that you read the article:
4. Windows OS optimization
You can slightly increase the performance of the game by optimizing and cleaning Windows (by the way, not only the game itself, but the system as a whole will work faster). But I want to warn you right away that the performance of this operation will increase quite a bit (at least in most cases).
I have a whole section on my blog dedicated to optimizing and tweaking Windows:
Programs for cleaning PC from "garbage":
5. Checking and configuring the hard drive
Often, brakes in games also appear due to the operation of the hard drive. The behavior is usually the following:
- the game is running normally, but at a certain moment it “freezes” (as if paused) for 0.5-1 seconds, at this moment you can hear the hard drive starting to make noise (especially noticeable, for example, on laptops, where the hard drive is located under the keyboard) and after that the game runs normally without lags ...
This happens due to the fact that when idle (for example, when the game does not load anything from the disk), the hard drive stops, and then when the game starts accessing data from the disk, it takes time to start. Actually, because of this, such a characteristic “failure” most often occurs.
In Windows 7, 8, 10, to change the power settings, you need to go to the control panel at:
Control Panel\Hardware and Sound\Power Options
Then, in the advanced options, pay attention to how long the idle time of the hard drive will be stopped. Try changing this value to a longer time (say, from 10 minutes to 2-3 hours).
6. Antivirus, firewall…
The reasons for the brakes in games can also be programs to protect your information (for example, an antivirus or a firewall). For example, an antivirus can start checking files on a computer’s hard drive during a game, which immediately “eats” a fairly large percentage of PC resources…
In my opinion, the easiest way to find out if this is true is to disable (or better yet, remove) the antivirus from the computer (temporarily!) And then try the game without it. If the brakes disappear - then the cause is found!
If nothing helps
1st tip: if you haven’t cleaned your computer from dust for a long time, be sure to do it. The fact is that dust clogs the ventilation openings, thereby preventing hot air from escaping from the device case - because of this, the temperature begins to rise, and because of it, lags with brakes may well appear (and not only in games ...) .
2nd tip: it may seem strange to someone, but try installing the same game, but a different version (for example, I myself encountered the fact that the Russian version of the game slowed down, and the English version worked quite normally. Apparently, it was at a publisher that hasn't optimized their "translation").
3rd tip: It is possible that the game itself is not optimized. For example, this was observed with Civilization V - the first versions of the game slowed down even on relatively powerful PCs. In this case, there is nothing left but to wait until the manufacturers optimize the game.
4th tip: some games behave differently in different versions of Windows (for example, they can work fine in Windows XP, but slow down in Windows 8). This is usually due to the fact that game manufacturers cannot anticipate all the “features” of new versions of Windows in advance.
That's all for me, I will be grateful for constructive additions 🙂 Good luck!
