Can't log in into WoT EU anymore - "Server not ready"
I haven't played for a while and now I suddenly can't log into my main WoT account (EU) anymore.
Logging in on the website works fine.
Logging into the launcher works fine.
Going from the launcher to the game will give me a "Incorrect password or email" message. If I then try to login via "Switch account", I get "Server not ready. Please try again later." with the correct password and "Incorrect password or email" if I enter it wrong on purpose.
I just installed World of Warships and I can get into that game just fine using the broken WoT account. I can also get into WoT using a different account. I suspect that the broken account has some kind of wrongly set flag or open session. WG's support has not been very helpful so far. Any ideas?

Are you using the Wargaming game center?
If so then try manually running world of tanks.
To do this you need to run WorldOfTanks.exe. The folder structure should be similar to this:
World Of Tanks\win64\WorldOfTanks.exe
Also make sure the game is updated but that should be handled by the gamecenter or prompt you when you launch.
Last resort would be to wait for some downtime with your PC and then do an uninstall and then reinstall. You may lose your settings doing this though.
I am using Wargaming game center. I just tried launching the game manually, but that just leads to the same results.
I did initially do a complete reinstall, because the launcher didn't want to install some update properly. I could do another reinstall, but with other accounts working fine I don't really see the point.
Change the password on the website.
Type your username/email out in a text editor, check it, copy it and paste it into the field and do the same with the password. There may be a simple typo/bad key on your keyboard. I was having this problem with Firefox autofilling my accounts on web pages.
I did. Also, there's a clear difference between typing the password correctly and incorrectly in the game client - "password incorrect" vs "server not ready".
Also delete or rename the AppData\Roaming\Wargaming.net\WorldOfTanks\preferences.xml file. You WILL lose all of your settings if you do this.
Thanks. Didn't help, though. :(
I think I'm gonna try a complete reinstall of WoT and WG's game center.
If you do see if you can delete the entire WoT folder and all WoT's files. Sometimes when you uninstall it leaves shit and I think it is one of these files that is doing this to you. I believe everything in appdata will be left there.
