Tanks world of tank test update 9.20. World of Tanks test server download. Why is the World of Tanks test server not working?

Servers for testing the update of the game World of Tanks 1.6 are dedicated servers where the playability of maps, characteristics of equipment, general updates by ordinary wot players are checked. The test server is available only at a certain time, entry is possible only when the developers are ready to check the functionality of the game innovations.

Release date - updates 1.5

Download the general test World of Tanks 1.6.1

As soon as there is a link to download the test client 1.6, it will publish right here! Roughly, you should expect in the late afternoon after 6 pm Moscow time. The 1.6 release date should be expected by October 2019, as indicated in the table below.

How it works?

Let's take a look at what a test server is. Basically, this is a virtual resource where a modified copy of the game is located. The main purpose is to test and check the capabilities of any innovations before including them in the main patch.
The WG developers are the first to gain access to the test domains. Then super-testers are connected to find flaws and bugs. After the correction, additional testing is carried out with the maximum load of the game client.

To do this, a copy of the game is "uploaded" to the backup domain, where anyone can go. After that, the detected flaws are again eliminated, after which changes are made to the main game client.

How do I become a WoT test participant?

Anyone can take part in testing the game. To do this, you need to download the installer with version 1.6. After that, the installer will offer the user to download a test game client. After the download is complete, a new folder WORLD of TANKS is created on the desktop, with a directory of graphics settings specified by the player.

Key features

There are two basic rules for test participants:

Participants receive: 20,000 in-game gold, 100,000,000 credits each and Free XP.
Experience earned on the test server, game currency and purchased equipment are not transferred to the main client.

Test target for patch 1.6.1

Players will have to test the following innovations:

Changes for the LBZ tank: Object 279 early;
HD converted 3 maps:
"Empire's Border"
Widepark,
Highway
Changes and edits on the maps: Ruinberg, Overlord, Redshire, Sandy River and Paris;

Very soon, players will have a new patch - 9.20, which means a lot of innovations. Traditionally, before the release of a patch, developers run a test server, with which everyone can see and try all the changes without any impact on their own statistics.

The test server is downloaded as a separate client, where, like on your main client, you need to enter the details of the current account, under which you will test the update.

The test version of the game exists so that players can try out the future patch and, if possible, notice all the errors and bugs so that the developers can fix them before the patch is released.

How to become a World of Tanks 0.9.20 tester?

Everything is quite simple here - you just need to download the installer of the test client on the official website of the game or from our website (link at the end of the article), wait for the installation and log in under your name.

By the way, every player who got on the test server gets to use 20k gold, 100m free XP and silver per account so that everyone can try any tank in the game. After the test server closes, all gold, experience and money will disappear, and the account statistics will remain the same - the test does not affect it at all, it works like a separate game.

What changes will be in the new patch 0.9.20?

The most important update will be a branch of new Swedish tanks: a mixed and full-fledged branch of tank destroyers with unique vehicles at the top tiers. Many Tier VIII pre-tanks will be up-loaded. The rules of three and two calibers will be redone. Eleven tanks will receive new and colorful HD models.

Updated (20-09-2019 09:38): third test 1.6.1

The test server in World of Tanks 1.6.1 is a regular server where new maps, features, tanks and other game innovations are tested. It is impossible to get to the WOT test server when the player wants it - it opens only at a certain time, when the game developers need it.

The third general test is open!

What is a test server and why is it needed?

Test server- this is the repository where the copy is stored and reproduced, but with some changes. Of course, before you make any changes to the game, you first need to test them.
The first ones see the changes in the WOT development staff, after which they give access to super-testers. If there are any shortcomings, then they are corrected and the version of the new client is tested already under load. They "upload" a test version of the client to the backup server and open access to everyone. Again, the development staff is looking for bugs and shortcomings. After - they fix and "roll out" the new version of the client.

How to get to the WOT test server

To get to the test server, you need to download a special installer 1.6.1 or install Wargaming Game Center. Then run it. He will offer to download a test client - download it and install it. Next, a folder will be created World_of_Tanks_CT(in the directory where the player specified during installation).

Everything is ready to go! We click on the shortcut of the test client and go to the login and login page. We go under our nickname and password, and choose one of the two test servers.

Features test. Server

Each player is credited with 20,000 gold, 100,000,000 free experience, 100,000,000 silver at a time.
Everything that you earn and buy on the test server will never go to the main one.

What's new in 1.6.1?

the ability to change the nation;
11 new styles;
changes in ranked battles.

Multinationality

The picture above shows the first multinational T-34-85 Rudy tank, which will be added to all testers in the hangar.

What is multinationality?
A new feature in the game World of Tanks, which allows a Polish crew to land on the T-34-85 Rudy.

Important! We can only change the crew in the hangar, it will be impossible to do this in battle.

Why is this needed?

In order to pump the crew of different nations on the same car. If players like the idea, the developers promised to add more multinational tanks to the game.

Update 9.20.1 is approaching its official release and we are starting a new series of general tests. Participate in testing and evaluate the changes that developers have worked on recently. Here's what's available on the shared test server:

Rebalancing of Tier X light tanks, as well as British and US vehicles.
Reworked personal combat missions with a new interface and mechanics to complete them faster.
An additional reward for high efficiency in battle - new ways to get Bonds.

The changes can be found in detail in recent publications:

Booms and medals

From 9.20.1, winning medals of the Epic Achievements and Battle Hero categories, the player will receive additional bonuses. Please note: Bonds will not be awarded for cumulative medals. The number of bonds is not final and may change.

Improvements for the grand battle

The following changes have been made to the "General Battle" battle type:

The message about victory or defeat in a battle has been changed.
Added a new type of message about victory or defeat in battle to make it easier for players to understand when and why the battle ended. The message has separate animations for win, lose and draw. Additional text shows why the fight ended. When the battle ends after capturing the base, the capture progress bar goes into a "locked" state shortly before the message appears to indicate that the total will not change.
This change has been applied to all Random Battles, Ranked Battles, and Grand Battles.
Updated tooltips for rewards, which describe the various conditions for obtaining. In a standard battle, oncoming battle and assault, the conditions are the same, but in a general battle the requirements are higher.
Improved combat interface (HUD) in general battles.
The transparency of the background of the panels with the list of players has been reduced to make the information easier to read on a light background (sky, water, etc.).
Added border markers to the top panel to improve readability.

Improvements for the "Training Ground" mode

Changes:

Disabled irrelevant options in the context menus of the vehicle upgrade windows, research tree, and vehicle carousel.
Balanced rewards (credits and experience) for victories and defeats when passing the training ground.
The accrual of rewards for completing the training ground is now displayed in the notification center.

Fixed errors that occurred when saving and restoring settings (vehicle panel and scopes), when the player entered the training ground and exited this mode.
Fixed rendering of some game tips (unmasking when shooting, the need to return to the capture circle).
Fixed a rare error of incorrect display of the "Skip training" button.
The results of battles in the mode have been removed from the notification center.
Fixed display of the EULA license window when restarting the game client.
The description of vehicle characteristics in the loading screens of the training ground is now correct.
