Thank you for your suggestions but I'm not a complete novice with computers, I can make my email client search emails. I do not have that email. Either I have never received it or it has been accidentally deleted. A couple of my friends also successfully reserved their TO accounts but they do not have that email either. So there is no backup mechanism for getting to use the TO account in TankiX? I would assume there should be as I am still using that TO account in TO, and as it has been successfully reserved it should be available for me also in TankiX.

Yes I have, it's not there.

I reserved my TO nickname for TankiX earlier when that was possible. I remember it said my reservation was successful. Now I have downloaded TankiX and was going to try it out, but when I try to sign up with my TO account, it asks for a reservation code (I guess that proves my reservation earlier was successful, right?). I have not received such a code or at least I cannot find an email containing it. So how can I recover it? Another thing: I tried to ask this question in TankiX's support pages, but there it is mandatory to fill in a valid TankiX user name in the customer support contact form. Have you thought that it might be quite impossible to fill one in if the issue concerns signing up?

M3, MU 2/50. I don't think MUs are a solution to anything (maybe just a couple of first ones are worth buying as they are cheap) because they will be far more expensive than buying the next M level - though M3 is the last one I guess.

Shaft has become useless. It's reload time is insanely long and it is far from the efficiency it used to be. That's so sad because I developed my rank with it and it was my favorite and actually the only turret I liked and wanted to play with. Now I play freeze and have even started to like the silly DM game mode. How sick is that!

This is really off-topic, but beaku is right, I meant standalone flash player. I was inaccurate when I called it a browser in the other place. Anyway, thanks for the resolution, beaku.

I'm using Adobe flash player, it does not have such thing as refresh

I entered a Sandbox battle before the participants of the battle had been loaded and shown in the bottom right corner of the lobby view. I entered the battle instantly (maybe Sandbox was in my browser cache as I had played another Sandbox battle earlier during the same game session) and was able to start moving my tank and fighting, except that another battle loading splash screen hid my view (see the picture). Unfortunately I exited the battle before the other loading finished (because I did not see properly), so I do not know what would have happened.

I totally agree. I am also a shaft player and I hate DM. In the beginning I tried also some other turrets but as I don't pay real money for this I have not had the possibility to keep those other turrets up-to-date (m1, m2 etc.). I think it sucks that DM missions are so common and every time my free change goes to changing that mission (with the fear that I get 'collect a gold box' or 'be the first for five times' or something similar in trade). Completing all the daily missions every day is a matter of honor to me, so please do not even try to suggest that they should be left incomplete some day.

The two most annoying things in TO are related to people's behavior in chats: 1) People who complain about using supplies 2) People who ask if gold box has dropped or beg for a gold box to be dropped My opinion on these is 1) I use supplies only when I'm carrying the flag or trying to prevent an enemy from capturing my team's flag. Still I get complaints about my supply usage in almost every game. That sucks. Supplies are part of the game. You earn supplies by completing daily missions. Therefore they are honestly earned and you have full right to use them. If somebody even wants to pay real money for crystals and then buys supplies using those crystals, it's his business. I don't do that, but it's not my business to complain if someone does. So supply moaners should just shut up. You have an equal right to use supplies, too. If you cannot or don't want to, that's your problem. 2) I personally do not collect gold boxes, actually I hate them. But if someone does collect them, it still does not matter whether they have been dropped recently or not in a battle as they are documented to be dropped randomly and regardless of any administrator actions. So asking and begging for gold boxes is just plain annoying. In the middle of almost every battle there is at least one newcomer asking with bad English: "gold was?". And then there is always someone who even cares to answer to that. Extremely annoying. Since own team discusses also important matters in the chat and there might sometimes be other interesting discussions in the chat, I cannot disable it.That really sucks.

Regarding this: http://en.tankiforum.com/index.php?showtopic=275523&page=67&do=findComment&comment=5087610 I don't think it is related to my graphics driver as I have played using Chrome for over a year and it has never happened. But because of low FPS issues I have now played for about a week using standalone flash player (FPS always above 50, often above 60) and today it happened again. I hope you can find a fix for it as it is awful to play with a browser. Btw, why did I lose all my points I had earned so far in the battle when I returned to the same battle and same side with a browser when this issue occurred in the flash player? When I signed in in the browser it threw me out in the flash player, which was expected, but why losing all the points?

Yes, closing and reopening the window helped.

Today I played Serpuhov CTF and suddenly the lighting in the game started to look like the one in the attached screenshot (I had to cut it a bit from the bottom and from the right to make it <500KB). Even though it says I have just captured the flag, the issue began already when I was still carrying the flag (could not take a screenshot until captured). I don't think I did anything special when it started, so I have no idea how to reproduce. I'm using stand-alone flash player and Windows 10 Home edition. It was impossible to see who is enemy and who is not, how much I (or anyone on my side) have energy left or whether I (or anyone) have any supplies on.

I don't think my location or equipment are relevant in this as they are the exact same ones as before when there was no lag. Also, my ping and fps are pretty normal (both around 40) during the lagging. During lagging I can move my tank around the game world but all other tanks in the battle are stationary, except that some of them may spin their turrets and/or keep shooting. Or that's what it looks like at my end. I'm unable to take the flag, capture points or deliver damage to enemies. I don't know of any specific event that triggers the lagging, it just seems to occur all the time in practice.

Also this forum seems to be lagging badly. It took almost a minute for that post to appear here.

The lag started to be worse than usual yesterday or the day before that. It's impossible to even go to any battles as loading them hangs every time.

The hyperlink that the game provides to invite a friend to create an account in Tanki online and to give crystals to the inviter whenever the invited account gets promotions, is possibly broken e.g. the game providers the inviter with a hyperlink that does not work. Instead it will take the invitee to the Tanki online front page, and if the invitee there clicks "Play" in order to get to create the account, the 'friend' part will be removed from the url address in the browser and therefore I suspect a then created account would not be correctly linked to the inviter's account. Is that right and if so, is there a solution available? Another thing: In 'Problems and Solutions' rules, the second bullet point Please see this topic before posting.takes the user to a page that says 'You do not have permission to view this forum.' even though I'm signed in.

That topic seems to be locked so I'm not sure where I should report this... You do know that the turret still spins uncontrollable every now and then, don't you? So what's the status of fixing it?

I signed in to Tanki today in order to get my daily gift. First after signing in it showed me some message that I was not at all interested in, don't remember what it was exactly. Then my flash plugin hung and I had to close the Tanki tab in my web browser. Then I signed in again in a new tab. I never got a message telling what my daily gift today was. Now the question: did I get a daily gift today in the first place? In other words: is the daily gift given to you when you actually sign in for the first time in a day or only when (or if) you actually get a message telling you what your daily gift is?

I did not manage to read all the posts in this very long topic so sorry if this is already discussed but I think shaft has become far too weak a turret during the last few weeks or months and it is almost totally useless already which I think is a pity as every war would need good snipers. First the laser beam was introduced which made shafts unable to hide. Then its reload time is ruthlessly long (I think they must have lengthened it as I did not notice such thing in the beginning) and that combined with that it no longer almost ever kills the enemy with the first shot (that has to have been changed from the early days of shaft, too) makes it a really bad turret. I know that many players playing with other turrets hated shafts as in the beginning shaft was a good weapon, but hey, war is not supposed to be fair and those players also had an option to play with shafts. I hope the developers will return the usefulness of shafts as that is the turret I have spent my crystals on and I would love to play with it most if only it was not made so humiliatingly weak.

Same here. I also use shaft and Chrome, the hull in use does not matter. Turret spinning every few moments and also impossible to look the game stats (Tab key) while in aiming mode as then it shoots instantly. This started the day they made the mouse control update, so this most probably is related to that (even though I don't have it enabled as they recommended for Chrome users). Sticky keys option, pressing alt key and playing or not playing in full screen mode have nothing to do with this. A friend of mine usually plays freezer that does not have this issue, but when I asked him to try shaft also he instantly started to have this problem. I hope they realize this is a real issue and will fix it soon.

Ok. Thank you for the answer.

I know that turrets with recoil effect can shoot to the ground to right the tank when it's on its side, but I've seen in battles even upside down tanks to recover on their own by bumping a few times. How do you do that "bumping"? I've seen it done even with turrets like Isidas that afaik do not even have any recoil.

Good point about team work. But snipers usually stay at a safe distance, so waiting for them to finish the capture is dangerous.

In fact, I came to a little second thoughts of those "random" shooters. First of all, it would be very difficult for the game to know what is random and what is not. And secondly, every enemy will ultimately try to get to our flag anyway, so the sooner it is killed the better, I think. Unless it is also a sniper, but also in that case it would be very beneficial for us to get it destroyed as soon as possible. Furthermore, one skill of a good sniper is to find a good hide. From there he cannot control the whole battlefield. Maybe another sniper will be needed to control the other flag (team work again :) ).
