Hi Mario,

Good to hear ;-)

It seems there is currently a lot of confusion/misinformation about WoWs 0.6.9
DX9 vs. DX11 in support and gaming forums,

https://forum.worldofwarships.com/topic/133613-the-game-does-not-run/

Since I provided the disassembly with crash location, all bug reports in their
forums/tickets showing crash address 0x00D81E60 (NULL ptr dereference) are
exactly this issue which can be easily worked around.

Alternatively WG could fix this sloppy programming on their side, adding
check(s) for NULL pointer on getenv() return and provide this as minor WoWS
update 0.6.9.1 something.

Regards
