OK. Here's a way to fix (Windows 7, 8, 8.1 and 10)

1. Go to the the Control Panel.

2. Select "Clock, Language and Region" (if you are using Category view)

3. Select "Region"

4. Change format to "English (United States)" (for NA players), "English (United Kingdom)" (for EU players.)

5. Select "Location" Tab

6. Change Home Location to "United States" (for NA), "United Kingdom" (for EU)

7. Click "Apply"

That's it! You should get right into the game.

If doesn't work, submit the ticket to Wargaming.

NOTE! YOU DON'T NEED TO RESTART THE PC TO TAKE EFFECT!

OS: Windows 10 Professional 64-bit

Welcome to NA, hope you don't mind that we have less than half the population of EU.

It's probably going to mess up with other applications changing the system that way...a locale emulator should be considered if anyone is reluctant to mess with region settings.

 

Note to self: Try a new one on that computer...which refused to run Planes for some time now...

Hello! Welcome to The World fo Warplanes NA forums! 

 

I'm glad you were able to get into the game. What language do you run Windows in, and do you have multiple Windows user accounts?

Q: What is the minimum requirements of the game?

A: OS: Windows 7/8 or 10

Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo (Example: Intel Core 2 Duo E8500) or Athlon X3

RAM: 3GB DDR3-1333Mhz

Video Card: NVIDIA 9600GT or AMD Radeon HD 4670 Shader 3.0 support

Audio Card: Support DirectX 9c

Connection: 256kbps

Q: What happen if i change the Format and Location?

A: Your date format will be change but won't damage or change language your computer.

[pyantoryng]

Emulating the locale works as well...I just did on the machine that refused to run Planes for over half a year.

 

Well, changing from a Latin language to another won't have much obvious effect...the effect can be noticeable when changing to a language with difference in writing system e.g. from English to Japanese.

I have the same problem (first time on 4/12) and was excited to find this thread.  Unfortunately, this solution did not work for me in Windows 10.  Anyone else know of a fix?

[cd169]

I am also stuck at the "Loading" screen.  Game worked fine yesterday.  Only thing different that I can think of is that Windows patched yesterday.  

[Zapperguy]

Have you all submitted a ticket? You've got time; you can't play. https://na.wargaming.net/support/tickets/create

[farquare]

thank you Zapper for confirming that it was not just Texas that was cut off from the game

Now getting "Server is unavailable due to Scheduled maintenance". Who "Scheduled" the Maintenance for half the day during peak hours? Good thing client don't pay by the hour or this place would be taking a serious financial loss. lol.

And did it works properly?

[_Old_Bear_]

What is looking more to an unscheduled maintenance interruption than a "scheduled maintenance" interruption out of schedule and not advertised ?

 

Wargaming support answer was more clear :

Unfortunately there was an unexpected server outage that happened recently. We have attempted to fix this issue and would like to ask if you have tried again and still are not able to connect.

 

And more ... now, it works OK

It's not in the "SETTINGS" in the start menu!. It's in Control Panel!
