[FAQ] Tanki crashes all the time! What do I do?

nuclearbom — GMT

[color=orange][size=9]This is roughly similar to the '"Connection closed by server" When, why and what?' topic, but now it is about the crashes of Tanki Online. [/size][/color]

[color=white]Introduction:[/color]

Many people have been struggling around, finding a solution for their crashing problem. I have seen some solutions given to people on the forum, and it worked for me, so I want to show it to everyone who needs a solution very soon. That's why I will give you guys a needed solution!

[size=18][color=orange][u]Solutions:[/u][/color][/size]

[color=white]Options:[/color]

The most constituting change was to turn off a few options in the settings on Tanki Online which got my FPS higher and also stopped the crashing. The things I turned off and are really recommended to turn off if your pc is not very fast and does not have a really stable internet connection: 'Mip-mapping', 'Show skybox' & 'Adaptive FPS'.

How to turn those options off:

1. Please log-in with your Tanki Online account data and visit the Tanki Online Settings of your account:

2. Now a screen pops on with the settings. The arrows point the options that you have to turn off for less crashing.

[color=white]Clean your caches:[/color]

This may help you with the FPS (Frames per Second) as well with the crashes; Clean your caches! There are two caches in your PC that can help you getting rid of the crashes and maybe higher up your FPS; your browser cache and your Flash cache.

How to clear those caches:

-[url=http://forum.tankionline.com/posts/list/29443.page]How to clear your Flash cache[/url]

[FAQ] All about Test Server

FederalBureauFBI — GMT

[img]http://www.prikachi.com/images/651/4626651X.jpg[/img]

[size=15][color=white] The Test Server is created for Testers.It is also opened for all players sometimes.The Test Server is not always opened.When it is opened, it is opened only for Testers (and also for the Tanki Online's Administration, of course.).On the Test Server you have much more crystals than on the Main Server - every time you start with about 400000 crystals, but your Rank can be lower than on the Main Server - every time you start as a Recruit.
Everything you earn on the Test Server will never appear on the Main Server.
Test Server is not always active.[/size][/color]

[size=15][color=white]How to become a Tester - from what I have seen by now, Testers are only Russians.If you are a Russian, you can apply to be a Tester here:[/size][/color]
[url]http://www.tankionline.com/tester/[/url]

[size=15][color=white]If you are accepted, you will receive a PM from Bruce Lunga, or someone else from the Team (I'm not sure, that's my opinion.).[/size][/color]
[size=15][color=white]Now you are a Tester.You also have the Testers' avatar.But to be a Tester is not only for flaunt with your rights.You also help Tanki Online, you help the developers, you find bugs, you report them, etc.[/size][/color]

[size=15][color=white]The invite code - that's just your username.If you are a Tester, you enter your username in the window [b]'Please enter your invite code and keep it.'[/b]
If you are not a Tester, you can type the username of a Tester as invite code.But you have to know his password too.Or the other variant - you type a Tester's username and when it asks for a password, you change the username to your own username and then you enter your own password.The problem is that after all, when you login, you see [b]'Connection closed by server.'[/b] and so you can't enter the Test Server.
If you are a Tester, you can enter the Test Server.
The invite code - it's the Tester's username - it can be [b]Ippi[/b], [b]Alek_Sander[/b], or anyone else from here (Лучшие тестеры)[/size][/color]
[url]http://forum.tankionline.com/posts/list/112979.Page[/url]

[size=15][color=white]Also sometimes there is an 'Open Testing' - when there is something new and it needs to be tested from more than the 5-10 official Testers, the Administration allows anyone to enter the Test Server.(but most of the players don't see or test anything new, they just score up to Marshal, by all M3 and have fun...)[/size][/color]

"Connection closed by server" When, why and what?

nuclearbom — GMT

We all know that there are such situations: In a battle, or while joining a server, a message pops up: "Connection closed by server."

Ways to resolve this issue:

1) If an error pops up regularly, then change your password and mail ([url=http://forum.tankionline.com/posts/list/100935.page]Explaination[/url]), probably this comes, because someone else is logging on into your account.
2) Your account could have been blocked by violating the rules (Cheating, hacking or sharing of your account). If your account get blocked, please contact help@tankionline.com
3) Clean the Flash Player Cache: [url=http://forum.tankionline.com/posts/list/29443.page]How do I clean my Flash Cache?[/url]
4) Change your browser. The browser can be downloaded at the official site. Some browsers: Google Chrome, Opera, Firefox, Maxthon or Safari.
5) Update your Flash Player.
6) Remove your downloads, which you've made by using torrent, limewire, etc.
7) Maybe your computer was infected with a virus, try to delete the virus with the anti-virus program.
8 ) Check the connection to your Internet. Perhaps there are problems with your Internet provider? At this time the response from the server will be discontinued, since the session is terminated.
9) Slow internet. Check the speed of the Internet: www.speedtest.net. If the download speed is less, the files will load slowly. Recommended minimum 256/256 kilobits per second.
10) Clean up your browser's cache. ([url=http://forum.tankionline.com/posts/list/101414.page]How do I clear my browser cache?[/url]
11) This problem may not work for the life of the scripts. To disable these scripts, first for the Firefox browser do the following steps:
A. Tools-> Add-ons, or key combination Ctrl + Shift + A.
Two. Looking for writing NoScript (read details http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/NoScript) and set this add-on.
Three. After restarting Firefox, below the button to appear: "Setup ...".
B. Select only the "Allow tankionline.com"
Note: If you come across other sites through the browser Firefox, you will need a button NoScript "Configure ...", give permission to a site that you want to attend. Do not click "Enable Java Script all" (very dangerous!).
12) Update your IP-address

I hope this guide will help you solve the problem of "Connection closed by server".
Good luck to everyone!

[FAQ] How to join a clan

koolwalky — GMT

[color=white][size=14]Joining a clan is a really easy job! Just three steps, But first of all, make sure you meet the rules set![/size][/color]
↨ You need a rank of 3rd lieutenant or above to join a clan.
↨ You need to meet the clan's requirements to be accepted in it!

[color=white][size=14]Finding a clan[/size][/color]
This is not that much of a hard thing as some people think it is. All you need to do is scroll through all the clans and then find one that suits you. Check out their members, see how they play, how they can help your game. How they can affect your game. Remember, no one likes a "clan hopper" so don't join one clan after the other to have the best of all worlds. Choose one, and devote yourself to it! Make sure you meet the requirements, and also that the clan is taking applications.

[color=white][size=14]Applying to join it[/size][/color]
Look for the form or the "method" of applying to the clan. Don't forget to give as much information about yourself as you can. There are a number of methods one can apply. You can find out how to apply to one of the clan by reading their page that will surely tell you about it. All you need to do is follow the steps. The easiest method of all is the method of "private messaging" make sure to type something more than just "can I join your clan?" Give more information about yourself and a little more about your garage and your rank. How long you have been playing and whats your timezone.
Once you have all the info ready, send it to the clan leader and wait for the reply!

[color=white][size=14]Getting accepted in a clan[/size][/color]
Once you get accepted in a clan, the leader is supposed to guide you through the steps to communicate with the rest of the clan. Don't be shy and feel left out! You're a clan member of the clan now and you are now supposed to talk as much as you want the other clan members, make new friends, meet new people, find new "idols"
In case you were not so lucky and did not get a reply from the clan leader or you got declined, you should not be disappointed. Of course if you didn't get a reply ask him once more, and this time, be sure to ask him "Why" he did not reply. And if you got rejected, then don't lose hope. You still have a lot of clans to choose from and perhaps it was for the best!

[FAQ] How to make a clan

koolwalky — GMT

[size=9]Remember, making a clan and managing it is a very hard job![/size]

[color=white]Some things that you want to make sure before starting on this role![/color]
↨ Make sure you have a rank of Major or above!

[color=white]There are 2 steps to making a clan.[/color]
1. Getting members together
2. Making the clan topic

[color=white][size=14]Finding the clan members[/size][/color]
This is the hardest part while making a clan, as you have to find some loyal and honourable members that will stay aside you from thick and thin. These people will be your initial 10 members. Including yourself. Remember, you should not make a clan topic without getting 10 members first! As that will be a bad impression, Once you are done with 10 members, all you have to do is gather them together, get them organized and carry on to your next step. But before you do that, A guide on how to get 10 members in the first place. The following are the ways to do so.

1. Real-life friends! They are the best when it comes to loyalty as they will always think before doing something wrong.
2. In-game friends, the people you play with on a daily basis, the people you are friends with at the chat.
3. Advertisement? Why not? You can always post in the chat saying that you are making a clan and if you have good enough of a rank, you can easily get one or two members in your clan on the first day, remember. There are 22 servers! Not just 1!
4. In-game, Do you see a friendly person in a game that plays nice? Why not ask his IM id, why not talk with him about your plans? Maybe he has a similar plan?

[color=white][size=14]Making the clan topic[/size][/color]
This is not that hard if you have been posting on the forum. In order to make a clan, no one needs fancy banners, animated gif images, or high quality "show-off" pictures. All you need is typing skills and a little bit of experience with BB code!
Clan name, This is the first thing that your clan topic needs, the subject needs to be "[color=orange][CLAN][/color] [color=white]Your clan name here[/color]"
Everything else needs to be something like this.

Clan name once more - Optional.
Leader's name - Optional, as the topic maker is the clan leader.
Co-leader's name - Optional, If any.
Member's names - [color=white]Required[/color].
Clan requirements - Optional.
Contacts - Optional.

Remember, A good clan topic uses headings, different font sizes and different colours!

How to protect your account against Hackers, Phishers, Scams.

koolwalky — GMT

[color=white][size=18]Dear players![/size][/color]
[color=orange]Lately there have been an increase in the theft of accounts, and unfortunately the ones to blame are the players themselves.
Be aware and do not trust these people.[/color]

[color=white]By following these simple rules you can easily save your account from getting stolen.[/color]

[color=orange]1. Never have the same password as your username, They have to be different and not "easy to guess"
2. Never tell anyone your password, even Moderators and Administrators will NEVER ask for your password!
3. All of your account details, payment information including E-mail address can only be requested from help@tankionline.com and the Private messages asking for them can only be received from 11 people: Ksenia Ignatieva, Vladimir Anisimov, Nikita Chalov, Eugenii Malov, Maria Khusainova, Stanislav Kasimov, Stanislav Manturov, Dmitri Konovalov, Irina Anisimova, Jana Lapshina, Victoriya Bukina,
4. Never, under any circumstances for whatever reason accept files from any random person or stranger on Skype or any other IM service. Such files can have malicious software that can affect your computer and/or steal your account.
5. Never give out any sensitive information to anyone on Skype or any other IM service, Such information about your account can only be requested by help@tankionline.com[/color]

[color=red]The Administrators do not distribute crystals to anyone, and all applications to become a moderator are dealt with in Private Messages or Skype.
If you are asked to give any private or account information in exchange for crystals or any other advantage in-game, Make it clear in your mind that you are being scammed!

All attempts to steal your account must be reported to the [url=http://forum.tankionline.com/posts/list/2624.page#67058]Moderators and Administrators[/url][/color]

[FAQ] What to do if you paid the money but did not get the crystals.

koolwalky — GMT

[color=green][b]Unfortunately, This happens because of the problems with the Payment service providers. And most of the time these problems can be solved quite quickly. To solve these problems you should report them.
Apart from the normal complaint procedures of sending an E-mail to help@tankionline.com , Payment bugs can be reported directly from the payment screen in-game.

To do this:[/color]
[list]We first go to the "buy" screen of the game.[/list]
[URL=http://img20.imageshack.us/img20/2636/20110708010828.png][IMG]http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg20/scaled.php?server=20&filename=20110708010828.png&res=medium[/IMG][/URL]

[list]Click on the "Report" Button at the bottom right corner of the screen.[/list]

[list]A bug report screen will pop up, In this screen enter the username of the player for which the payment is made, the payment method used to make the payment along with the payment date and the amount of crystals for which you paid for. You are to provide an E-Mail address for further communications and fill in the comments section to explain the problem you are facing and any other details that may be needed while processing your report.[/list]
[img]http://img835.imageshack.us/img835/5578/20110708012631.png[/img]

[list]After filling in the form send the bug report (Example of a filled form is given below), After this moment your application will be under consideration.[/list]
[img]http://img232.imageshack.us/img232/8950/20110708012501.png[/img]

[list]This method is the fastest and the most reliable method and it is also the most convenient provided that you give all information about the problem that you are facing in the comments section. A proper description will decrease the time needed to process your report.[/list]

[list]Under no circumstances you are to post any kind of confidential information at the forum including but not limited to Passwords, Account numbers, Phone numbers etc. This information must be posted directly in the comment section of the bug report or sent to help@tankionline.com[/list]

[size=18][color=red]Kindly describe the problem as detailed and simple as possible and provide the exact payment details at the time of making the report to ensure quick processing of the request.[/color][/size][/b]

[FAQ] Crystals, What are they? How to get them?

koolwalky — GMT

[b][size=18][color=222222]____[/color][color=green]Crystals[/color][/size][/b]

Crystals - They are the in-game Currency
You need crystals to upgrade your Tank and to buy supplies.

[size=18][color=green]The crystals can be obtained in the following ways:[/color][/size]

[color=white]1. The boxes[/color]
[img]http://savepic.org/1359196.jpg[/img] - In each battle Crystal boxes worth 1 Crystal drop whenever the battle fund reaches a multiple of 6.
[img]http://savepic.org/1357148.jpg[/img] - Crystal boxes worth 100 crystals drop soon after the battle fund reaches a multiple of 700. These boxes are also called the "[color=orange]Gold[/color]" crystal boxes.

[color=white]2. At the end of the battle, by reward[/color]
The crystals in the Battle Fund are distributed at the end of the game depending on the points scored during the game.
You can see the Battle Fund at any time during the game, at the lower right corner of the screen.

[FAQ]"Why did you ban me?" (English)

MadDog21 — GMT

Waahhh! Squeal! Shriek! On-the-floor-tanturm! Permit me to help and advise. No Mod ever banned you. [i]You[/i] banned you. You ignored and/or violated Tanki rules available to every Tanker to read. Your choice to ignore or violate these got you banned. You did it. If you did/do it repeatedly, the sanctions increase. I don't know a Mod who enjoys affirming the bans you placed upon yourself. I'd delight in never applying the "banhammer." I could do what all should. Play and enjoy! It's a common attitude of immaturity to seek another upon whom to place blame for whatever befalls us. It's also patently wrong. Being common rarely makes anything right or justified.

The rules are easily accessible to every Tanker. Also, they're reasonable, well conceived, just and, above all, respectful. They are simple declaratives to assure anyone who isn't mature or sensible enough to know and/or understand mannerly deportment may learn by reading. Tanki's creators continue to seek making Tanki play pleasurable and "safe" for [i]all[/i] ages, respectful, enjoyable and fair. These are the standards every Tanker accepts when making an account. You promised to obey the rules, the TOS (Terms of Service) Honorable persons keep their word, their contract.

If the rules are unsatisfactory to you, other alternatives exist on the net. Tanki offers free play for all, purchase options for those who care to do that and the highly anticipated dawning of Tanki 2.0 which holds potential to make Tanki the best browser based game on the net. To play, to stay, simply requires conforming to the rules. Tanki's numbers grow; when 2.0 comes, the growth will, I believe, be exponential. It's gonna be a great time! It'd be plumb peachy to have you here for that. However, if you cannot or will not observe the rules, if you continue banning yourself with your chosen violations and making Mods actualize that, my Granny had good advice. "Don't let the door hit yuh where the Lord split yuh." I loved my granny. :D

[b][color=green]Play hard, fair and well. Enjoy! Best wishes.

THANKS TO "koolwalky" AND "gamepiong" for big help for screenshots

[FAQ]how do i pay for crystals using VISA

Andreikin — GMT

Lately a lot of players from outside of Russia have complained that they couldn't pay for their crystals with credit card. I have tried playing around with payment gateway (third party who takes care of payments for TankiOnline)

So, here is what you need to do.

1. click on the cart (next to your crystals)
2. click on the icon for Visa/MC
3. click liqpay or chronopay, doesn't matter - enter amount of crystals - and then click "next"
4. in the next window with address http://2pay.us.com/oplata/liqpay/?id=2148 click on "Go back to choosing payment option" (left side, big button, hard to miss)
5. scroll down to "credit cards" and click on "Gate to Shop"
6. enter all your info and ... bring down the reign.

The reason your payments aren't going through is simple, liqpay and chronopay are Russian and Ukrainian companies and US banks are so uptight this day with all their security regulations that they block your payment to half of the world out of security concerns, Gate to Shop, however, is UK based provider and there in a lot less chance that your bank would block your payment.

it is only a couple of bucks more comparing to liqpay - but it isn't matter - you cant pay through liqpay anyways.

Processing times may vary. for me it took about 45 minutes from the time i paid for crystals to get them in my account.

Sincerely yours, Andreikin.

FAQ - Read this before you go, Recruit!

Eugenia Kostyleva — GMT

This FAQ will help you to become “an experienced beginner”, that doesn’t ask silly questions in game chat and generally gets more fun from the game.

The Most Frequently Asked Question
When will this be in the game, and why that has been changed, it used to be so much better?!
The game is being developed by a talented team. Our developers work days in and nights out to make “Tanki Online” even better. We have our vision of the game and our perspective on how it should evolve and we stick to this plan. If you have some interesting ideas to suggest, please post them on the public forum. We do read it carefully. Forum users have already contributed greatly to the game development, with their constructive suggestions and tricky questions.
Starting the game
Q: Why is the loading takes so much time? I keep waiting, but nothing happens.

A: When you start the game for the first time you will have to wait since the game needs to download the core game files about 10Mb size. Meanwhile, you might want make yourself a cup of tea or coffee, you’ll definitely need it. After the downloading is completed these files will remain on your computer (in cache) and every time you start the game afterwards, the loading time will be much shorter. Also, we advise you to increase the “cache” size of your browser to 200 Mb (this will allow storing the downloaded files ( textures, models, sounds) on your computer.
Q: I don’t see the start up webpage, why? (possibly – “I see only black screen, why?”)
A: Most likely, you have to install the latest Flash player, or you might have some problems with your internet connection (e.g. closed ports). Please see the Troubleshooting section of this FAQ.
Q: Why do I have to submit my e-mail?
A: If you happen to like this game and you want to save your game progress, your e-mail will help to recover you password (should you forget one) or recover your account and all saved progress in case of a server crash. You will also receive important information related to the game, confirmation of account registration, newsletters, etc.
For beginners.
Starting the game.

When the game finishes loading, you will see this picture:
[img]http://sites.mwoa.ru/tanki/main_s.png[/img]

On the left hand side of the screen – the chat window, in the middle – the list of active battles, on the right hand side – parameters of the battle selected from the list in the middle.
To enter the battle, select any battle highlighted in green and press “Play” button in the bottom right hand corner of this window.
To create a battle, press “Create” button in the bottom of the active battles list. A battle creation menu will appear.
Q: Why is “Play” button inactive?

A: It seems that all slots in this particular battle are taken or, possibly, you don’t meet the rank requirements of this battle.
Q: What are rank requirements?
A: When a player creates a battle, he or she can specify the rank requirements for players that can enter the battle. The battles that are not available to you due to your rank are displayed in grey. This allows matching players of equal skill: beginners fight beginners and veterans fight veterans. Although, it is possible to create a battle with no rank requirements (high rank players in the top level tanks can still one shot you, even if the battle is marked as “For beginners”). It is recommended to pay attention at the rank requirements before entering a battle.
A: What buttons do I have to push make my tank move and shoot things?
Q: The tank can be controlled with arrow or WASD keys, to shoot – press “Spacebar”, to rotate the turret – press “Z” and “X” keys.
Controls:
[img]http://tankionline.com/forum/images/helpwindow_eng.jpg[/img]
“1-5” – Use a consumable (First Aid (Repair Kit), Double Armour, Double Damage, Nitro, Mine). Effect of a consumable lasts around 1 minute.
“F” – Drop the flag. (Available in Capture the Flag mode only).
“+”/”-“ - Increase, decrease the game screen. Smaller screen provides higher FPS rates.
“Tab” – Shows the scoreboard of current battle. The scoreboard displays names and scores of the players participating in a battle.
Arrow or WASD keys – Tank movement keys
“Z”,” X” or <,> - Turret rotation
“C” – Centre the turret
“Spacebar” - Shoot
“Del” – Self-destruction. Takes time to self-destruct.
“P” - Pause.

“Page Up”/”Page Down” – Change camera position
“Enter” – type a message in the chat, press Enter again to send the message.
“Ctrl” + “Enter” or “T” – Team chat.

Please note, that pressing multiple keys simultaneously may cause errors on some PCs, especially when arrow keys are used for movement. It may make tank unable to shoot while moving, or rotate the turret while shooting. We don’t yet have an option to customize controls, but you can use WASD keys as alternative controls.
Combat

Q: How do I use consumables?

A: The consumables are available for purchase in the garage: First Aid (Repair Kit), Nitro, Double Armor and Double Damage. To activate a consumable during a battle, you must press 1,2,3 or 4 key . 1 – First Aid (Repair Kit), 2 – Double Armor, 3 – Double Damage, 4 – Nitro.

Q: How long does the effect of consumables last?
A: First Aid (Repair Kit) restores tank’s hit points up to 100% instantly. It requires some time to use it again, so you will be unable to use to spam this ability in combat.
The effect of other power-ups purchased in the garage lasts 1 minute. The effect of the power-ups picked up on the battle field lasts 40 seconds.

Q: Can I go to the garage during the battle and return back without losing my points earned in this battle?
A: You can’t. If you go the garage during the battle, you lose your points earned during the battle. Although, you can return to this battle and start from scratch.

Q: How is damage calculated? Is there any difference hitting the tank in the front or in the side?

A: There is no difference. The resulting damage will be the same regardless of the area the tank was hit in. The resulting damage is a random number taken from minimum and maximum damage range of a weapon. Some weapons may lose effectiveness with longer range.
Q: What can I do if my tank flipped over and lying on its side?

A: You have two options. If the tank lies on its side and has a weapon with a recoil effect (Smoky, Fear Machine), you can try to rotate the turret and shoot in the ground. If that doesn’t help try to ask your teammates for help. If they can’t help you, press Del to self-destruct (takes some time). If your tank is equipped with a light hull and a Smoky Gun you can decrease your chances to turn over when jumping off the ledges. Just shoot in the direction your tank is flipping while in midair.

Q: What are the game modes?

A: There are three game modes:

1. Deathmatch – is free for all match. In this mode you are battling against all other players. The goal is to get more kills than the others.

2. Team Deathmatch – is team vs. team match. The primary objective of this game mode is to kill as many players of the opposing team as possible.

3. Capture the Flag – well the name speaks for itself. The objective is to capture the enemy flag and carry it out from the enemy territory to the your base.

Brief rules of Capture the Flag (CTF).

1. This is a team battle. Each team has a base with a flag in a specific location.
2. There can be only one flag per team, red and blue for respective teams.
3. The primary objective for both teams is to bring the enemy flag to one’s own base while defending their own flag. The enemy flag can only be captured if the your flag remains on its spot.
4. If the tank carrying the flag is destroyed, the flag is dropped and it remains on the spot where flag carrier was destroyed.
5. If the flag is picked by one of the members of the team the flag belongs to, the flag instantly returns to the “Flag spot” at the base.
6. If the tank carrying the flag of the opposing team is destroyed, his teammate can pick the flag and carry it on. If the flag is not picked during 30 seconds it automatically returns “back home”.
7. It is possible to drop the flag of the opposing team deliberately by pressing the “F” key. The flag will be at the location where the “F” key was pressed. Note that, during five seconds after the flag was dropped the tank that dropped the flag cannot pick it up again.
8. For each flag captured (given the team’s own flag is on its spot) the team is awarded with a team point. The delivery of the enemy flag to the home base adds the same amount of points to total point pool of the game as complete wipeout of the opposing team.
Private Battles
You can create a private battle, by ticking “Private Battle” in “Create Battle” window and pressing “Start” button. You will see “Battle Info” window where you can copy the link to your battle and send to your friends you want to play with. Private battles are not shown in the general battle list
Career

Q: What are these ranks for?
A: Ranks give you access to different kinds of weapons and hulls. Higher ranks give access to more powerful equipment, the also make you look awesome in the eyes of beginners.

Q: How many tanks do I need to burn down to get the next rank?
A: The game utilizes a score system which determines your career progress. The amount of points awarded for a kill varies from 1 to 20. To get 20 points, you need to kill an enemy who has a much higher rank than you.
In the top left hand corner of the screen there is a sign which represents your current rank, there is also a bar with two numbers inside separated by a slash. The left number is you current points earned and the right number is the amount of points needed to reach next rank.

Q: How do I upgrade weapons?

A: To upgrade your weapon you need to click on its picture and look at the info window. Depending on your current rank and amount of crystals you may see one of the messages:

1. You don’t have required rank.
2. Not enough crystals for upgrade.
3. You can upgrade your equipment.

Q: The game was launched not long ago, why do some players have very high ranks?
A: Before the game was officially launched, there were two stages of testing, (although we are still testing the game). And it’s quite natural that people who have been playing since the launch of the game have high ranks.

Q: I think I’ve got a new rank, but it doesn’t appear next to my name, what to do?
A: It happens sometimes, just restart the game.

Communication

Q: How does the chat work?
A: There is a general chat for those who are in the active battle list or in the garage. Each battle uses its own chat, which can be accessed by pressing “Enter” key. It’s very easy to use. Just press “Enter” to type a message and then press “Enter” again to send it.

Q: How do I send messages to my teammates only?
A: Press “Ctrl “+ “Enter” or “T” key.

Q: How do I add/remove a player to/from Black List?
A: There several commands which must be entered in chat window:
/block name - block incoming messages from a player (works everywhere)
/unblock name – unblock incoming messages from a player (works everywhere).
/blocklist – displays a black list (ignore list)
/unblockall – clear the black list

Q: How can I access the forum?
A: Forum address - forum.alternativaplatform.com. Use the same login/password you use in the game.

A: I try to login into the Forum, but it says that my login/password is incorrect.

Q: This is a known problem and we are working on it. The forum just can’t handle such numbers of users. We’ll fix it soon.

Crystals

Q: How do I get the crystals?

A: The crystals are the only currency in this game you can buy items with. There are three ways of earning crystals.
1. You play the game actively and get lots of kills. The top players of at the end of the battle get their share of crystals from the total crystal pool of the battle (the size of the crystal pool is displayed in the bottom right hand corner).
2. You run around the map hoping to get blue boxes with crystals inside. The number of the blue boxes dropping from the sky depends on the total crystal pool of each battle, therefore to get more boxes you still need to kill. In the normal battles the crystal boxes are dropping at a steady rates.
3. Press the bin icon and you will see a window with different payment methods. Choose the method that suits you the best to purchase more crystals. 5 crystals cost around 1 rouble (different methods of payment have different commission rates).

Q: I have enough crystals to by this, but still I can’t, why?
A: To purchase something you must have either money (crystals), or required rank. In most cases you must have both. Many items become available only when you reach a required rank.

Q: I see that I have X amount of crystals during the battle, but when the battle ends, I get much less of them, why?
A: The crystals that are displayed during a battle are not your own, it is a total crystal pool of this battle. When the battle ends the crystals from this pool are distributed among the participants depending on their performance during the battle. The crystals are added into the battle pool when players kill each other. The kills are not all equal. To add 1 crystal into the battle pool one must destroy much more tanks with lower ranks than those with higher ranks. So obviously killing tough guys is more rewarding!

Q: How do I transfer crystals to other players?
A: You can’t do that. It is not possible to transfer crystals, tank hulls, weapons, consumables to other players.

Q: How do I sell items I don’t need anymore?
A: You can’t do that.

The Garage.
Q: How do I buy items?
A: The bottom bar is a Shop. The items with grey background are unavailable to you due to rank restrictions. Press on the icon of an item available to you and the press “Buy” button. The item is transferred to the upper bar “Your Items”.
If it is a hull, weapon or a tank skin, you need to press “Equip” button to equip it. If it is a consumable you simply can buy some more of them.

Q: What are “Lava”, “Polished Metal”? What do they do?
A: They are just tank skins, and don’t provide any bonuses. Though the more noticeable skin is the more chances you have to draw unwanted attention and be taken down than a player that has a colour pattern of his surrounding, say bushes or trees.

Q: Where can I see detailed information about stats and prices for weapons and hulls?
A: Read this forum thread.

Q: Is there a table displaying points needed for each rank?
A: It is here.

Troubleshooting.

Q: I’m trying to get into the game but I see “Could not connect to the server” or something like that, why?
A: As in every other online game, there are occasional restarts of Tankionline server. This is done after server crash (it happens sometimes), or for maintenance purposes (updates, patches, etc). The server can be down for the period of 3 to 30 minutes. Meanwhile you can go back to your everyday chores and do something useful in a real world which still exists, you know.

Q: I’m trying to get into the game, but it goes over all port numbers (5190, 5222, 5223), but I still can’t connect. What to do?
A: You need to open one of these ports. You can ask your system administrator or technical support of your Internet Service Provider to open the port for you. No ports – no tanks!

Q: I’m trying to get into the game but it freezes during loading.
A: Try to restart the game.

Q: I have very low FPS rate. What to do?
A: 1. You can decrease the game screen by pressing “-“ key (to increase press ”+” key)
2. You can try to use another browser (like Opera or Mozilla or Internet Explorer).
3. You can try to launch the game using different software, via Flash Player.
4. You can upgrade your computer.

Q: Why can’t I enter a battle I created myself?
A: When you create a battle you can specify the ranks of players that can enter the battle. If you don’t meet the rank requirements, you can’t enter your own battle.

Q: How do I remove my own battle?
A: You can’t do that. The battles are removed automatically when no one enters it for some time.

Q: What is FPS?
A: FPS means Frames Per Second. It is a number of time the screen is refreshed in a second. FPS should be around 24-25 to get comfortable performance.

Q: Why do I have 11-16 FPS every time?
A: To increase FPS rate you can adjust the screen size with “-“ and “+” keys during the battle. You also can update you Flash Player or buy a new PC.
Alternatively, you can use a standalone Flash Player to run the game without using your browser, sometimes it can dramatically improve FPS rate and makes the game more enjoyable.
And by the way if you increase the cache size of your browser up to 200Mb, you can store all maps, models, and other games files on your computer and you won’t have to wait the game to load that long.
If you use Firefox browser, disabling "Skype Extension for Firefox" may improve the game performance.

Q: I have problems with connection stability, what to do?

A: Many problems with freezes and disconnects can be avoided if a cable connection is used instead of WiFi. If you use router, you need to disable “traffic shaping” option in router settings.

Q: I’ve found a bug. What is the best way to report about it?

A: Click the “Bug” icon in the top right hand corner of the game screen. You will see a dialog box where you can fill in the heading and a description of the bug you have encountered and if possible upload a screenshot with a bug (the uploading takes some time). Another way is to send an e-mail to tanki@alternativaplatform.com, we can’t promise to reply back due to the large number of incoming mail, but we do read carefully every message we receive.

Q: have more questions! Where can I ask them?
A: The best place for this is here on the forum. There are many smart people here, and they will gladly help you out. Frequently asked questions are posted here in the FAQ. You also can send us an e-mail to tanki@alternativaplatform.com

Special thanks to Midgard and strrol for helping to make this FAQ.
