Since the last Windows 11 update, I can no longer play a match of WarThunder. I join a match and after waiting an extremely long time in the loading screen I am kicked directly out of the running game. Other games work perfectly. The error message is Error 82220002. I have already tried the firewall thing, but it didn’t fix the problem. I also downloaded the latest graphics driver and undid the Windows updates. Nothing helped.

did you ever find a fix to this been stuck like this for a week now
I learned this past weekend that War Thunder and the Windows 11 24H2 update are not friends after I got the forced install of 24H2. I was running into a similar issue after the Windows update (could launch game, do test drives, but anytime I entered any sort of match, including custom battles, it would either get stuck on the loading screen or it would kick me from the match without any sort of error message), and after all sorts of troubleshooting for 6-7 hours (uninstalling/reinstalling BE, trying to launch with EAC instead, validating files in Steam, starting game from launcher directly outside of Steam, uninstalling/reinstalling WT entirely, etc.) I was then left with one option… reverting to Windows 11 version 23H2.
Reverting to 23H2 fixed all my problems, and it only took ~10 mins to revert from 24H2. I really wish I would have taken that route first, but it seemed like such a sledgehammer approach at the time. But it was the right tool for the job, I guess.
If you also have to revert, just be sure to pause your auto updates for as long as possible in Windows Update settings, or else the Windows updater will try to install 24H2.
