World of Warships stuck on the loading screen

Battle loads but never starts, often due to mods

Loading finishes but the battle never opens, or the client hangs on the loading screen. Wargaming lists outdated or damaged mods as a common cause.

Is World of Warships down right now? Operational: 0 problem reports in the last hour. If it were down for everyone, this problem could come from there; right now it looks normal.
Fix it

How to fix it

  1. Open the Wargaming Game Center.

  2. Click the arrow next to the Play button and choose to launch the game in safe mode.

  3. If the game loads fine in safe mode, remove your installed mods.

  4. Only download mods again from the official ModStation hub.
