I can't load the game, the loading bar stays on the screen.

 

Tried the client, Firefox and the Standalone; all the same result.

I did a cache clean on the client and the game loads from that point on, but freezes up when I load the battle list.

 

What do I do?

Same here. Many other players have this problem.

 

It's probably because of MM and will eventually get fixed.

I see, now there's a server config error..

Ahh well, we'll have to wait.

question 1 : mods sometimes close topics for inactivity... but what if there was activity that went on there... except the mods hid the posts because they felt they were inappopirate but the posts weren't against the rules... is the topic still consodered inactive? 

 

question 2 : clan mods close clans for being inactive... how do they know if the caln is really inactive? what if the members don't speak english, and as such never log in to the EN forums, but still do clan trainings and discuss stuff on discord or vk or anywhere esle outside the forum?

Why isn't tanki online trying to update/upgrade their anti cheat?

I've seen the same hackers reported and banned but they always come back on the same account or any other.

1: We generally don't close topics for inactivity. They are considered inactive when moved into the archive.

 

2: Clans are closed after 1 month of inactivity, if a clan cannot indicate activity at least once a month then its probably safe to say that the members have lost interest. They are free to re-open the clan within 2 weeks of the closure.

Developers do update the anti cheat system from time to time, the biggest issue is that once a hack is patched hackers just find a new way to hack, it's a constant battle.

Hey so quick question ninja, where can I find the player stats on the tanki website, like on average how many people are logging in and graphs showing how many people logged in years before?

There isn't any such information available. The only thing is: tankionline.com/graphic.swf that however only shows the past few days.

Is there any explanation for which actions count as playing the objective in the various modes? Obviously capping a flag or killing carriers will constitute playing the objective in ctf, but what about healing a flag carrier vs healing a non-carrier? A lot of situations in CP could easily be considered playing the objective (killing players who are contesting a point from a distance, attempting to contest a point against a numerical advantage, defending a point you already own from another tank, etc etc) but might be hard for the game to recognize as such. For ASL, a good strategy for blue is to kill players before they even pick up flags, and that contributes to a win. But would the game count that as just a regular kill? Just curious.

Currently the system is not that advanced yet. It only takes in account the main objective, kill players in TDM, capture a flag, return a flag, capture a point and so on.

When I go to my profile and check my content; it displays the 2 most recent posts and then goes way back to february 8th.

Any posts between the 2 most recent - february 8th can't be viewed.

 

What is wrong?

It's an issue that happened to the forum. Posts after February 5th that are older than a day cannot be viewed unfortunately.

Are you sure, do the devs hide it or somthing cuz I feel like that info would be really useful to them

When he said "no information available", he meant it's not available to the public. Of course the developers have such information but it's their choice whether they want to share it or not :)

In settings.controls why are there 3 columns for entering keys for actions.

 

For example, I use 2 like most people for DA. Why do I need 2 more options?

 

That just seemed to confuse me when I took "drop gold" off the "6" key because I accidentally drop too much when hitting "5" (mine.)

 

Will any of the 3 columns work if you set them up?

 

Thanks

On one hand there are the default options and apart from those, you have room for customization. It does indeed seem a bit excessive to have 3 different keys for the exact same action (camera movement up and down has 3 default keys), but perhaps it's for players to have a bit more versatility. And yes, all 3 columns work if you were to set them up. E.g. I have all three columns for turret rotation set: 

The first two columns are the default settings and the third column contains the keys I use to play.

Question about forum clans, Does the leader have to open the forum clan, and can we use them for causal talking, not about eSports?

Question about forum clans, Does the leader have to open the forum clan, and can we use them for causal talking, not about eSports?

Nope, for that you'll have to create an eSports club in the 'Clubs' section of the Forum.

Yes, the leader has to open it, although you can change leaders. If you want casual discussion, create a club instead.

How can you change leaders of a clan/club?

[Ninja 10,468]

How can you change leaders of a clan/club?

For forum clans/clubs you should PM an eSports moderator.

 

For in-game clans the supreme commander position is impossible to change.

If you want a higher rank, I suggest you keep making new accounts. The highest rank I got with this method was Generalissimo.
