Computer games collapse on their own during the game itself. This problem occurs quite often. There could be many reasons for it. In this article on our website, we will try to talk in detail about situations when some changes are made in the operation of a personal computer, due to which some applications and games may spontaneously crash.

1. The problem may lie in overheating of computer or laptop components. When the video card overheats, freezes or artifacts appear in the game, and when it overheats too much, games freeze or crash.

2. It is possible that the problem is with the keyboard. Start the game and do not touch it, having first disconnected the keyboard. It is possible to “work” with hotkey combinations, and as a result, false keyboard activations begin. Sticky keys may also occur. Try replacing the keyboard with another one.

3. Without visible windows, some process starts, and therefore the windows that are active at that moment are minimized. Download Process Explorer and Autoruns (it is needed to control startup). Filemon – performs the function of monitoring process access to files. Download the entire Sysinternals Suite for a more in-depth system scan.

4. There is a possibility of lack of RAM. This may affect the curtailment of programs that are particularly demanding on computer resources. As a solution to the problem, you can add RAM. Skype and RocstarGames programs can also interfere.

5. The presence of a virus is another problem. And not just any one, but Win32.Sality. Different antiviruses define it differently, but the general name remains the same. What is he capable of, and should he be treated urgently? Naturally! This virus is not only the answer to the question that worries you about why games are curtailed. This is the smallest dirty trick he is capable of. More precisely, just a side effect. Sality infects most executable files on your computer, penetrates most files and folders, and also creates copies of itself on removable media. Not only regular programs are affected, but also antiviruses, which makes treating your computer problematic. In addition, it functions as an autoloader, spy and keylogger. In addition, the virus blocks safe mode, registry editor and task manager.

6. If you are using a USB modem, then this is most likely the cause of game crashes. The fact is that the modem regularly checks for driver updates on the Internet, and this is what causes the game to crash. This can be treated simply by uninstalling the program for servicing the modem. There is no problem here. It will work without it. On the other hand, you can enter the “msconfig” command into the command line, in the window that appears, go to the “Services” tab and uncheck the box next to “OUC” or another service responsible for updating the modem software.

You can try to figure out the reasons for minimizing windows yourself; now you know where to look for the problem.

It's always like this when you want to play your favorite game World of Tanks and the client starts to crash, especially after long-awaited updates. Usually, when entering the game, immediately after entering your username and password, then when loading a battle, then when entering the hangar, then right in battle (the most infuriating thing, isn’t it 😉) you should never put up with this! Take care of your nerves 😉 How to cope with crashes, read on...

First, let's figure it out, does WoT crash when you double-click on the game launcher?

That is, after launching the launcher, nothing happens or a white window pops up, and then, according to the developers’ idea, the game client should start, but nothing happens.
If you have just such a problem, then, since in this article we will talk about client crashes after the launcher, in other words, starting from the authorization window (login and password).
Here we go…

WoT crashes when starting the client

So, we launched the launcher:

entered your username and password, pressed the “ TO COME IN"and here it is - crash... You are back at your desk, full of anger and disappointment... but this is not the time to sigh and be sad we are struggling -> here it will help us clearing cache, if this is your case of a client crash, then go clear the cache, read more about clearing in the article
Well, if this is not your case, read the article further...

And in order not to waste your time, we will start with removing mods. Thus, we will establish the cause of the crashes, and here there are only two reasons, either the mods are to blame, or something is wrong with your computer (drivers, hardware). Deleted??? Let's launch and see... the crashes are gone? MODS are evil, they are to blame, how to fight, read. If the crashes remain, then read the article further or after 3 paragraphs.

Well, what can you do... first, try reinstalling the games, maybe the files are damaged, and your playful hands could have done this 😉 or some kind of virus (for example, after installing a mod pack from the left resources) especially if you magically got all kinds of Yandex browser , mail services, etc. Personally, I would immediately go download Dr.Web CureIt!® and then put my trusty hardware to be scanned by the installed antivirus. Of course it's up to you, you can get away with simply reinstalling the client.
This should help, but if this is not your case, you are welcome to read the article further...

If there are sound problems, install the latest drivers for your audio card from the manufacturer's website:

Install the latest version of DirectX for your operating system from the official Microsoft website:

If you do not have the following libraries installed Visual C++, then be sure to install them from the official Microsoft website.

Any personal computer is a delicate device, which can be damaged by any, even the slightest, third-party intervention. Quite often there are situations in which we, without noticing it, harm our PC. One consequence could be changes that cause apps to fold on their own. So let's look at the reasons why games are being shut down.

"I'm not guilty"

When this kind of malfunction occurs, the first thought of a person who does not understand why the game constantly crashes is: “I didn’t do anything.” However, the source of the problem often lies precisely here.

For example, some laptop models have this unpleasant feature. When you connect an external device (in particular headphones), the laptop continuously starts trying to connect them. Thus, you will not only be able to play the toy normally, but also simply surf the Internet. Why is this happening? Most likely, there were either attempts to reinstall the operating system yourself, or there was initially an incorrectly configured sound driver (this is especially true for Windows 8).

When you connect a new device, your laptop (or personal computer) begins to automatically search for drivers, but due to incorrect installation, the search is difficult. Or it is possible that the necessary drivers are missing altogether. The solution to the problem can be either a system restore or a complete reinstallation. Alternatively, you can try to install the drivers manually.

"It got stuck"

There is another option for why games fold on their own. The reason may be a third-party program that intercepts the control process from the processor. In this case, don’t be surprised why games are being discontinued. Let's consider how likely problems are.

Presence of a virus

And not just any one, but Win32.Sality. Different antiviruses define it differently, but the general name remains the same. What is he capable of, and should he be treated urgently?

Naturally! This virus is not only the answer to the question that worries you about why games are curtailed. This is the smallest dirty trick he is capable of. More precisely, just a side effect. Sality infects most executable files on your computer, penetrates most files and folders, and also creates copies of itself on removable media. Not only regular programs are affected, but also antiviruses, which makes treating your computer problematic. In addition, it functions as an autoloader, spy and keylogger. On top of that, the virus blocks safe mode, and

There are not many ways to overcome this scourge. You need to download (from another computer) a utility from Kaspersky Lab designed to remove this particular virus, run the operating system from the LiveCD in safe mode and use the tablet. However, in this case, be prepared for the fact that the antivirus may simply delete executable program files, so you will have to restore everything from scratch or reinstall the system.

Modem

As was said in the previous paragraph regarding why games fold, it is due to third-party processes. If you are using a USB modem, then most likely it is the cause of game crashes. The fact is that the modem regularly checks the Internet, and this is what causes the game to crash.

This problem can be cured simply by servicing the modem. There is no problem here. It will work without it. On the other hand, you can enter “msconfig” into the command, in the window that appears, go to the “Services” tab and uncheck the box next to “OUC” or another service responsible for updating the modem software.

General anesthesia

To the above, it is worth adding that sometimes we, without noticing it, create problems for ourselves. Try opening the task scheduler. Perhaps you personally or some programs made changes there, and now he himself decides when and what to do. That's all, we hope that the tips given will help you solve your problems.

Quite often people encounter a problem that irritates them most in this world. Alas, she is not connected with the neighbors and their constant friction, she is not connected with her mother-in-law, who is already so fed up that sometimes it is simply impossible to endure. Everything is much simpler, but so annoying, because a lot of players have encountered a similar problem, when you first registered for what seems like an eternity, then downloaded the game even longer, and it is huge, despite the fact that the Internet is simply useless. Yes, yes, every already experienced player vividly remembers his first day in the game, or rather outside of it, while he had to spend a whole day, or even more, to finally play such an alluring game world of tanks. Many beginners encounter this problem and, unfortunately, there is no escape from it. But even this is not as frustrating for the player as the situation when a newly downloaded world of tanks game crashes upon startup. Then everyone immediately goes into a rage, because it’s unbearable how much they have to worry about installing the game and downloading the necessary updates, and as a result, nothing works. Very often this happens both among new players and among experienced players who have been playing the game for a long time, and then all of a sudden the game stops starting.

As for the problem of launching the World of Tanks client for those people who have just begun to delve into this wonderful game, everything here is quite simple, since many of them simply do not read the minimum requirements for the game. For people of this type, Wargaming has compiled a number of recommendations for launching the game and possible problems due to which the client may not start. The fact is that the very first thing you need to make sure is that the machine on which you want to play world of tanks has the necessary technical characteristics for this, and they should be as follows:

Operating system on the Windows platform of any version such as XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10;
- availability of an Internet connection with a speed above 256 Kbps;
- a central processor with at least two active cores, with a power of 2.2 GHz;
- the presence of RAM with a capacity of 2 GB or more, for a more comfortable game it is recommended
use a computer with 4 GB of RAM;
- a graphics card with at least 256 MB of memory and DirectX 9.0c installed;
- the sound card must also be compatible with DirectX 9.0c;
- in addition, for installation and comfortable gaming it is recommended to have at least 20 GB
free space on your drive.

Very often, it is precisely because the minimum characteristics of the machine are not met that the game does not start or works very poorly. To avoid unnecessary workload, customer support recommends that you familiarize yourself with these characteristics. In addition to having the necessary technical characteristics of the computer, there are also requirements for software that must be installed on the computer, since during the game it is this that is used for its normal functioning. Such software includes the following tools:

Availability of the latest version of drivers for the graphics card installed, depending
from its manufacturer (NVIDIA, Radeon, Intel);
- if you have problems with sound during the game, it is recommended to update and install
the latest version of drivers for your computer's sound card (drivers must be
used exclusively from the official website of the developer);
- in addition to these two very important components, the player’s computer must have
The latest version of DirectX must be installed, taken from the official website
Microsoft companies;
- the presence of such libraries is required for the game to function as a Microsoft add-on
Visual C++ 2008 and Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 according to your operating system type
systems;
- also make sure that you have installed versions of the NET Framework program such as 1,
3, 3.5 and 4.0, since without their installation the game will not work the same as without the previous programs
guaranteed;
- don’t forget about installing such a useful add-on as nVidia Physx.

There are cases, both among beginners and among experienced players, when even after installing all the necessary software package, the game does not want to start. In this case, it is time to talk about whether your computer is infected with viruses. Recently, they have most often begun to block access to the game, as well as steal personal data of players, which include logins, passwords and email addresses. The question of why World of Tanks crashes at launch even for regular players continues to torment me. The fact is that there are millions of such people around the world and their problems are very different depending on the cause of their occurrence. Someone installed the latest modifications that block files and lead to a general crash, so the game closes, someone accidentally deleted the necessary file instead of removing the add-ons, and someone simply interrupted the updates, and as a result, a crash occurred, after which the game stopped starting. In most cases, simply reinstalling the game helps, which not only completely creates all the original files, but also clears the game of modifications. It happens that the game crashes when starting World of Tanks and for those who have already taken this recommendation and reinstalled the game, but still something is wrong. Quite often this is due to damage to the operating system, which over time from the moment of installation becomes clogged with unnecessary programs and many files that not only burden its operation, but can also interrupt the normal functioning of everything in it. Therefore, simply reinstalling it also very often solves all the problems that may arise both while working with this game and when launching other games.

To this day, many errors in the game itself cannot be ruled out, which for some reason the developers are in no hurry to solve. Therefore, there are times when it is these bugs that lead to the problem of launching the game and enjoying the immediate gameplay. Like other well-known errors of crashing out of the battle itself, loading tanks in the air, or simply freezing in battle out of the blue, there is an error that is directly related to the client crashing. A bug that closes the game when minimizing the game panel and many, many others. All this is possible even despite the fact that you have just downloaded the game and you have all the gaming software necessary for a successful launch, and the hardware is so cool that Jov himself might envy it. If after all this the game still crashes, then you are welcome to “bomb” the game’s user support service as soon as possible. Perhaps they will not only help you solve the problem associated with the game crashing at startup, but will also think about the fact that if the number of requests related to the game and errors in it increases, then perhaps it is worth thinking about fixing them. And, of course, if you have tried all the methods and nothing helps, then you definitely need to contact them as often as possible and then the developers will finally start thinking about the simplest players and their problems and will take care of everything.

After all, the errors that we encounter day after day have accumulated over many years from the day the game was created and released to people, and no one wants to solve them, which is very, very sad, considering that the game has gained such popularity among people worldwide.

Options to solve the problem:

Problem solving

Option 1.

Run the WorldofTanks.exe application as Administrator.

Option 2.

Removing mods. Go to the catalog res_mods –> 1.0.2.4 . We delete all files from the folder.

Option 3.

Update the drivers for the video card and reinstall DirectX. Download them from the official websites of your video card manufacturer.

Option 4. OK.

Option 5.

Right-click on WorldofTanks.exe, select Properties A, tab Compatibility . We set the lowest compatibility - Windows 95. OK.

If it doesn’t help, we return to the starting position.

Option 6.

Let's rename the file WorldofTanks.exe to file WorldofTanks000.exe. In this case, it will be impossible to log in through the launcher. If it doesn't help, we return everything as it was.

Option 7.

Create in the catalog WorldofTanks folder with the user name (see option 4.), inside it there are sequential subfolders AppData -> Local -> Temp .

Option 8.

Removing the game client completely WorldofTanks from your computer and install it again

Any questions left, ask...

The user enjoys his favorite game after a hard day, immerses himself in virtual spaces to communicate with friends and get vivid impressions, but out of the blue, for no apparent reason, games are winding down. Seconds or minutes of delay often cost the character’s life; you can let your team down and spend a lot of time restoring progress in completing the game.

Why are games being discontinued?

The question that often bothers us is why games collapse on their own, and this is natural, because constantly breaking windows do not allow you to enjoy the atmosphere of the game world. You need to know the reasons why games are canceled on Windows 7 in order to decide how to deal with this scourge. Note that a similar phenomenon can also occur when watching movies, when the player goes into the tray or folds into the taskbar.

In fact, the reason is not in the game at all, since similar problems can be encountered in different applications. The most common causes of this disease are:

• Firewall application processing failed;
• Various malfunctions in the operation of the program from the modem;
• Incorrect Wi-Fi router settings;
• Broken drivers.

Minimizing should show errors or processes that require the user's attention, but Windows repairs the problem quickly enough that the notification does not appear.

The game minimizes itself - eliminating process failures

When games on Windows are minimized, the first thing you should do is pay attention to the processes that most often provoke such problems than others. Today it has been observed that ouc.exe and TWCU.exe have a similar effect.

1. Press the combination Ctrl + Alt + Del;
2. Then go to the “Processes” tab;
3. It is necessary to find one of the processes described above, perhaps there are several different or identical ones;

1. RMB on the required element and select “Open file storage location”;
2. Now leave the directory open, and again go to the manager, right-click and click “End process tree”;
3. Next, you need to delete the found files in the directory; you may have to use magic unlock.

The game crashes - disabling the broken driver

The game is crashing, what should I do? The game crashes on its own on Windows 7 due to driver processing issues. There are several options for further action: disable the driver, but then full sound playback will be unavailable, or reinstall it.

To disable you need:

1. Press Win + R and enter msconfig;

1. Deselect Realteck HD driver;

1. Close the window and reboot the system.

To reinstall, the action will be longer, but still simple:

1. Click Start and RMB on “Computer”;
2. Go to “Device Manager”;

1. Select “Sound devices”;
2. RMB on Realtek and select “Delete”;

1. Go to the manufacturer’s website https://realtek-drivers.ru and download the correct drivers;
2. Run the received file and install the program;
3. Restart PC.

After what has been described, it is worth checking, most likely the problem has been fixed and the games no longer crash spontaneously.

Disabling antivirus or firewall

The game constantly crashes, probably due to the fact that it requires Internet access, and it is blocked by some security tool. By the way, this is not always a bad thing; it is likely that when you download a game, especially a pirated one, it has built-in functions to track your data input. In this case, requests to some server will periodically occur.

In other cases, this situation can become a problem, since the official game server is subject to blocking sanctions. Most often, the game is minimized and a notification is shown about blocking access from the outside or inside. If you completely trust the source and installed the game from popular platforms, such as Steam, then you can disable this feature.

To authenticate, you need to right-click on the antivirus and temporarily disable it, and then check whether the error persists. Do a similar procedure with the firewall.

Problematic connections

Games on Windows 7 and other versions of the system often crash due to problems with constant connection of devices. It is likely that some connection regularly loses connection with the computer and then is restored. This can often be observed with headphones, mice, keyboards and various other USB devices.

Usually the problem is in the cord or plug, where there are broken or broken wires. Sometimes, which is much less common, the problem is inside the PC, when the connection to the board at the front is broken or some contacts are loose.

To eliminate it, you should notice which movements cause you to exit the game, and first remove all non-essential devices. A visual inspection in half of the cases helps to identify the problem; you need to examine the connector itself, the plug and the cable.

The methods described earlier should solve the problem with spontaneous minimization of games or other applications and will help you enjoy your favorite entertainment.
