I recommend using the Flatpak version of Bottles, because it is easier to install. Using Bottles, you can install and play WoT as you would on a Windows machine. No guarantees for your system, but as I said, hopefully it will work for you too. This guide is tested as working for the above setup. Kubuntu 21.04 with backports-ppa & xanmod kernel You may also install other kernels recommended by a fellow Linux community member, but I have not used other custom kernels and I cannot give feedback on whether they are good or bad. It is more up-to-date and has patches like Fsync, enabling a smoother gaming experience. While it is not required, I recommend if you're using Debian/Ubuntu and their derivatives, install and switch to the XanMod Kernel. However, besides installing dependency, everything else should be the same. I have no experience with other distributions. This guide is written as a Ubuntu flavour user. WoT run via Bottles does not seem to have problems thus far.

When playing videos, WoT will incur memory leak and crash your system very soon. Kill WorldofTanks.exe when former happens. Sometimes WGC refuse to launch, WoT freezes xorg when launching. No guarantees, but it hopefully will work. I may have close to zero performance drop, while you following my guide closely may experience unknown bugs. The catch is this solution is sometimes wonky, and performance vary on a case-by-base, machine-by-machine basis. For whatever reason you have, you have a PC account, hopped onto the Linux train, and you want to tank as usual. I assume not everyone looking to play on Linux are fresh tomatoes. Unfortunately, you will not be able to use your existing account to log into World of Tanks via Steam. A truly brilliant idea.Ĭan I use my old account on Steam? Now why would you want to play without Steam at all? Because the PC version account is not compatible with the Steam version's. There is no clear and recent step-by-step guide on r/WorldofTanks This is my post originally written in Chinese. Edit, added Bottles guide and polished the article.
