World of Warships — Account recovery without the original email

This started as a small annoyance and turned into a proper rabbit hole. The thing that keeps tripping me up is that everyone assumes you already know the basics, and the wiki is out of date.

I compared notes with a friend and we got completely different outcomes on similar hardware. I can post logs or screenshots if that would make this easier to diagnose.

Worth checking first: the averages hide the problem; look at the one percent lows instead.

Same boat here. do the cheap diagnostic first — it costs nothing and rules out half the causes.

Had the exact same issue. if it only happens in one mode, that narrows it down considerably.

I went through this last month. ignore the loudest advice; the boring answer is usually the correct one here.

Good luck, it is a common snag.

Slightly different take — nine times out of ten it is a driver or a background process, not the thing you suspect.

That fixed it for me, at least.

Worth checking first: if it only happens in one mode, that narrows it down considerably.

Had the exact same issue. do not copy someone else’s config wholesale — start from defaults and adjust to your own setup.

Quick correction to the above: it depends heavily on your specific setup, so take any single number with a grain of salt.

Same boat here. measure before and after, otherwise you are just guessing whether it helped.

Agreed on most of this, except measure before and after, otherwise you are just guessing whether it helped.

Only partly related, but the averages hide the problem; look at the one percent lows instead.

The usual fix here is this changed for me after the last patch, so older threads may steer you wrong.
