World of Tanks news » 8.2 Public Test #2

Tankers!

The second iteration of  the 8.2 Public Test server has been launched today. 

Please note that Clan Wars were not integrated into the test server; nevertheless, they operate as usual on the main server.

To participate in the test you need to do the following steps:

1. Copy the game client to the separate folder
2. Install a small launcher update found here (8,74 МB)
3. Update the game via launcher 4.15 Gb approximately

Note: if you have already installed the Public Test game client the launcher will update it to the Public Test 8.2 version 2 automatically (~83Mb)

Attention! Please be sure to install the test game launcher in a different folder, rather than the current game client version! Also switch off the game client before installing the update. Only players who have registered prior to November 19, 2012 at 0:00 UTC can participate in the Public Test.

  • 100,000,000 Free XP
  • 100,000,000 Credits
  • 20,000 gold
