World of Warships: "Unable to connect to the update service"
Game Center cannot download a patch
Game Center can't reach the update server, so the game won't download or update. Wargaming treats it as a local connection, firewall or antivirus problem in most cases.
How to fix "Unable to connect to the update service"
Click Retry, then restart your router or modem.
Close Game Center, delete the Updates folder in the game folder and try again.
Add the game to your firewall and antivirus exception lists.
Check your router's firewall settings.
If nothing works, remove the game and install it again.
