i can't play the game

[BlueFraggerXD]

I've been trying for the past 3 days to play this game but i can't. it gives me the fatal error and l've tried everything, validating the files, reinstalling it, contacting support and searching everywhere on goggle for answers. i need help please

[Druark]

Have you done what support asked? They likely would have asked for logs and they will know better how to interpret those logs than anyone here will.

[BlueFraggerXD]

they told me to not contact them about an issue that they are trying to fix or something, they didn't help me at all

[mogami_99]

the first thing I always try is the good old reboot. This clears things stored temp and any things occupying the spot you need.

try to update gforce and maybe it will work mine did hade the same problem as you

Consider what you have already told us:

You told us you have already "tried everything"- and nothing helped; we can only conclude that the problem is not user fixable. Else you haven't tried everything - but we cannot know what you have, or have not tried - cause you haven't told us.

Maybe even more important: you indicate that they have told you that they're aware of the issue and are working on a fix. Why tell you that if there was something they were aware that you could do to fix it yourself?

bro, what i mean by "everything" is, all of the methods that I myself, have seen. the thing is, maybe people have found other methods that i have't hear of yet

You've still shared nothing.
What is the error code. Is it doing it as you launch, as you get to hangar, as you load a match?
What are your specs? When you reinstalled, did you first clear any remaining appdata that was left behind?

[BlueFraggerXD]

no, i forgot to clean the other appdata, it happens right as i launch the game, my specs are: i7-11th gen, rtx 3050, 4gb ram, 556 SSD, my specs haven't got anything to do about this cause a year ago i was able to play as normal, the error code is 81110007

Fixed it. Uninstall the game via the uninstal.exe, then also uninstall via steam. After that perform a local disk search for 'War Thunder', delete ALL the files that were found, files in AppData may not show so make sure to check for them yourself. Double-check your PC hasn't got any trace of WT whatsoever. Install the game via steam and it works.

So, it's up to you if you want to go the effort to make life easier for any who would wish to try to help you. What you get is worth what you put into it.

Thanks Canadian Guitar. I'm gonna try that method and let you know

I got this, it was mcaffee anti-cheat, I had to turn off the firewall, I also had to close a lot of tasks that were taking up memory and stuff in task-manager

[Epic roux]

so turn off your firewall or close a lot of tasks that eat up memory, disk space etc, or both
for me I had to do both

launcher_upd
delete any launcher-update the file above in wthunder folder-best way to resolve launch errors.
