World of tanks, help and advice needed

Just a Plinker

Hi everyone this is my very first venture into online gaming, I saw the add on telly and downloaded it as it looked cool /Created acount etc. My problem is, I log in , press play and eventually I come to screen with the title Upgrading modules and my pc freezes / locks up, when I check my task manager it is saying wot not responding. Any help please.
My second question is if I can get this up and running do I need a joystick etc or can I use a mouse to play

Lads thanks in advance for any help and a Happy Christmas

You can go to that site and just enter World of Tanks in the search box. It'll scan your system and let you know if it's good enough to run the game.

Yeah, the World of Tanks graphics engine is a bit slow, but it's certainly way beyond something as simple as a poker client.

On the plus side, you can always get a Christmas graphics card gift!
