that’s because you are (most likely) starting the game from Steam…

to get to the login screen (and have the option to switch accounts) you would have to start the game via the WT launcher (or use the ‘update game manually’ option on Steam).

Try this and see if it works (i can’t personally test it at the moment):

  1. in steam, right click war thunder → manage → browse local files

  2. double click the “launcher” file.

  3. click the cogwheel next to the graphics settings

  4. enable the VR setting at the bottom center

  5. launch game from launcher

  6. profit?

Login to game with the auto 0 level account created by steam–> Go to User Profile → Change Nickname (steam browser will open logged in to the account)
→ Click on Username → Profile
Then you will see Settings → click on it to expand arrow and go to Profile (this profile is different from the other one)
At the bottom you will see “Delete Account” → Delete it
→ get out of the game, log back in, you will see an error saying “couldn’t connect your account”
Hit Try Again → at this point the login screen will show up → login with your account and it will persist moving forward, and better yet you can unlock Steam achievements

Under launch options in steam, instead of showing the drop down menu where launch manual game update is, it just shows a text box. Please help with that

It should be literally the same, but your issue could be that you use steam which likely emulates windows in the first place.

The location should be the install folder itself.

If anything I’d suggest installing the native Mac War Thunder package and run that, it’ll come up with the launcher that’s being mentioned in here when you start it. Put your email and password in and it should be good to go.

(Edit - Just for more

)

(( Edit 2 -

With regards to the deletion of the steam level 0 account, where Samurai was mentioning was in the ingame profile. When you hit change nickname it’ll put you into a browser for the rest.))
