Holy frick that torpedo

[AirshipCanon]

So here I am, in a low tier match because I'm working of Pink that I got because I accidentally scuttled a Tirpitz [and I say scuttled because he were dead regardless of what happened: 740 HP and flooding with 40s cd on repair] (The shot was worth it. He only caught the first torp of the salvo and the others killed that pushing Iowa, which set me up to kill that OTHER pushing Iowa)
 

...sail around an island. Lag pushes me into the island. [Thank you GoWifi]
I eat a Torp and die.

Black Screen of death.

Click-Click-Click-Click.

Hard drive is toast.

It gave me an excuse to upgrade my Laptop's HDD to a 1TB SSD, but it's a still a major loss since that's a clicker.

Worst of it is the loss of my GoWiFi settings which means I'm trapped on the really slow crap.
 

Also, WG, your beta installer sucks. It crashes way too often. Give me the regular launcher/installer.

Wow, that sucks, but congrats on the upgrade! Haven't used mechanical hard drives since maybe 2009 now.

Sucks to hear that, but at least you got a nice upgrade.

 

See if this will help. Check the links.

You can launch directly from the exe file, Found in c, games, world of warships. The launcher never opens then.

I need to reinstall. So I have to have the launcher. But the old one (which i had literally hours ago) not this buggy thing that works like a failed verison of a wannabe Blizzard's Battle.net launcher.

Unfortunately you have to use the new launcher to reinstall but then you can use the exe which also takes a step out of reloading the game in case of a freeze up.

must've been a ARP corosive torpedo!

You can say that you get all the "special effects"... But really it sucks you got it.. Maybe WG can compensating in some way

As a point, it was just curious timing. I hope all these errors were related to HD failure, and not actual errors, but from what I've read that's not the case [apparently, the "Critical Error" bug is more common than it seems]  and it's most likely my drive failure is spontaneous.
