A weird one … WT on a PC. OK. I use Movavi screen recorder to capture video of my games. The Movavi toolbar will not display on the screen when WT is in full Screen mode. So I switch to Windowed mode, and then the Movavi control panel is visible and usable on the screen the same time as the WT play/replay.
If I quit the game with it in windowed mode, War Thunder will not restart on the PC.
It starts, but it hangs. Sometimes giving a display error. The hang is caused by the Windowed mode not correctly and automatically handling the your specific screen resolution. Sometimes the program asks a question in a dialog box that you can’t see because it is hidden behind the WT boot screen / picture. So the program times out because you don’t respond.
Solution: Open WT in Steam using the Manual Update mode. It will open the game and you can then reset the screen to Full Screen and logout. Restart, and it will now allow the game to start up fully.
Hope this helps anyone else with this weird problem.
