War Thunder
War Thunder PC Setup
A clean install path saves hours of troubleshooting. This walkthrough covers War Thunder setup on Windows PC.
Install and storage
Install War Thunder on an SSD with enough free space for patches and shader caches.
Verify game files after interrupted downloads — corrupted assets cause crashes that look like driver issues.
Launch options
Set resolution, refresh rate, and input devices before your first ranked session.
Bind push-to-talk, map, and inventory keys where your hand rests naturally on keyboard and mouse.
Pre-session checklist
Check patch notes, confirm servers are online, and restart the client after big updates.
Keep a notes file for sens, FOV, and graphics presets so you can revert experiments quickly.
