Client version not working

[tanksargent2 9]

Hi everyone,

 

I have seen a couple threads on this topic in the past year or so but I couldn't find an answer to the problem I'm having. Basically the client version is nor working, I just get a gray screen and nothing else happens, and everything I have read so far as a solution for this involves playing from the browser site, which I don't like because of the much worse FPS I get there and the impossibility to even change those settings due to the screens from the Option menu, for some reason, overlapping on screen, so that almost whatever option I want to click on to enable or disable something, it just changes tabs from say Graphics to Sound.

I think I might be missing something here, like the client version being linked to a default browser in your computer you can delete files/browser history/cookies/etc. from from the threads I read in the Forum, but I'm not sure and I would appreciate it if someone could explain how the client version is linked to the game servers because it is not explained anywhere in Tanki's site nor is any solution for this problem given other than "cleaning your browser's cache" or something alike and, unless the client version is linked to a browser somehow, I don't think these instructions have anything to do with the client version at all.

Anyone had/having this problem and fixed it? I had it in the past but the previous solution I found online did not work this time...

try this solution:

If the solutions on Wiki aren't working, then that's because of Technical Issues in that Tanki OFFLINE or something's with your Internet or your hardware.

I haven't changed any settings or anything from 3 weeks ago (when the cient version stopped working), so I guess whatever is happening must be the result of something going on on their servers (or so I hope). Actually I was thinking, maybe it's because of Tanki's birthday and everything going on these past weeks that the client version is crashing or something, just like servers in general have been working poorly and often kicking people out of games even when they have good internet connectivity (which I think I do too). Idk, I emailed them and the last thing they asked me to do was to try using a VPN, but that's not something I'm willing to try because, first, I never needed such thing so why would I now, but second and most importantly, even if I changed my mind, I'm pretty sure I would be forced to play in the client version through a VPN forever as I don't expect the devs to do anything about this issue, especially if for some reason it only happens to me...

I just PWA installed TankiOnline.com/play/..... feels no different than a client.

@tanksargent2 Were the players above of any assistance?

@Hope Yes! The solution that @elcatalagamer gave worked perfectly, the client version is now working.

 

@CaptainKiller You're right, it doesn't feel all that different at all, except for the overlapping screen issue (which I already solved) and the significant decrease in FPS and Ping that, for some reason, I keep getting when playing from the browser version as opposed to playing from the client one. The client version is supposed to be like a shortcut to the browser version, or so that's what I thought, but the first has better quality of life (overall playability, connectivity, etc.) that somehow I don't get from the browser one.

Can be many other reasons why you might be facing ping and fps issues in browser - but tbh the only thing which compelled me to use browser version is the "Reload Page" (due to '0' Damage and many other bugs etc).
