Can't launch from steam

[Joshy Boi]

Every time I go to launch the game, I get error code 80130182. Yet I had no issues playing last night, I went to play today and the error code happened. I decided to turn my pc off then on and it worked.

Was able to play two matches then had to go out for a bit. Got home and same error code, tried turning pc off then on again but this time it hasn't worked. I've gone through the gaijin forums and tried all solutions but nothing is working, has anyone here got any fixes?

Yeah, messed-up launcher after the BattEye update. Never being able to launch the game after that.

Restart your modem/router and machine. The servers are fine. Not everyone has the issue with launching and there is NO evidence as of yet that it is BattlEye at fault. It is running flawlessly on hundreds of thousands machines.

There was an issue with some who had personal machine accounts that did not have Admin privileges.

Yeah I've done that, but still getting this error code, other online games work fine, downloading games and streaming shows all work, so idk how it can be my modem.

But the servers are available. And have been.

Well the servers need fixing. I've tried multiple solutions from clearing my cache etc and nothings working. And when i do manage to get in, the server constantly loses connection in the middle of a match. This all started a day before that major server crash that affected everyone.

I can still play other online games like battlefield, warzone etc. no issue connecting to those servers.

War Thunder uses more bandwidth than either of those games. There is nothing wrong with the severs. They belong to Amazon. These are the largest commercial server farms on the planet. Who else do you suggest they use?

idk man, I just wanna be able to play the game without being dropped from the server every match. WT is the only thing that isnt being stable, i can stream shows, download games all that stuff simultaneously and no issue but cant play a single match without losing connection.

I've had issues getting into the game since March 3rd as well. Started with an error message (can't remember exactly the code) and had issues with Steam launcher getting hung up. Forcing the game to stop via task manager resulted in Steam showing "stopping" and never got anywhere from there. Had to restart the machine to clear. After digging around in the discussion i finally came across a solution that works for me at the moment. When the steam launcher gets stuck, open task manager. Go to Details, end task "aces.exe" and "crashpad_handler.exe". This helped me to get rid off of the stopping loop in steam. Then click on play, and select "launch manual game update". This opens the game launcher. Let it update the game files, start the game and log in. That's the only way at the moment for me to continue the grind on two different machines (Intel/AMD). I will wait for the next patch/update and see if there is any fix. Hopefully that helps you in any way.

I've had the same issue here, I start it using steam, the launch window opens up, windows tells me that it stops responding but steam says the game is running. I try to close it using steam but it never fully closes and I can't find it using task manager either. I've reset my computer and updated all my drivers in the mean time so it can't be that. I also can't verify the game files since for some reason it only verifies 17 files. Restarting steam doesn't close the game either.

Streaming is not two way communication like a game. You need to compare apples with apples not with oranges - so to speak.

Potato_jesus101, Your issue and the OP's are different issues. Yours is addressed in other threads. All you have to do is read. :)

I don't wanna jump to conclusions but i think i may have found the issue. I switched to a wireless head set recently. So switched back to my wired head set and played matches with only one huge lag spike that was over quickly and then lost connection at the end of a match after it was over. So I think my new headset and its bluetooth was causing problems with my wifi.

Though I'm not 100% sure if that whats causing it. So I'll play again tomorrow and hope it works.

UPDATE: tried with my wireless headset and lost connection again. So I defo think it's my headset causing the issues I've been having.
