How to install World of Tanks on Linux

Install World of Tanks on Ubuntu Linux

CURRENTLY NOT WORKING (2017-12-16 9.21)

Introduction

This guide will show you how to install World Of Tanks on Ubuntu Linux (or any flavour such as Xubuntu, Lubuntu, Kubuntu, etc) using Wine+PlayOnLinux.

By the end of the guide you should have a fully working, stable client with HD textures and even functional Alt+Tabbing.

Compress PDF files with ghostscript

This can reduce files to ~15% of their size (2.3M to 345K, in one case) with no obvious degradation of quality.

ghostscript -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -dCompatibilityLevel=1.4 -dPDFSETTINGS=/printer -dNOPAUSE -dQUIET -dBATCH -sOutputFile=output.pdf input.pdf

Other options for PDFSETTINGS:

  • /screen selects low-resolution output similar to the Acrobat Distiller "Screen Optimized" setting.
  • /ebook selects medium-resolution output similar to the Acrobat Distiller "eBook" setting.
  • /printer selects output similar to the Acrobat Distiller "Print Optimized" setting.
  • /prepress selects output similar to Acrobat Distiller "Prepress Optimized" setting.
