Hello Pilots!
On April 27, 02:00 PT (05:00 ET) we're taking a one-way trip to swap your old planes, ships and tanks launchers for our new Wargaming.net Game Center, a launcher that lets you keep all your Wargaming games in one place! Navigate game news and dynamite deals with ease as you switch between air, sea and land combat and keep your forces on the advance!
Please read the WOWP Game and Forum rules.

Malwarebytes totally hates the Wargaming.net Game Center. Views the incoming update requests, etc. as malicious. I tried trusting all the WG URLs, but it still throws violations.
Just FYI, but if you see Malwarebytes issues, it's probably OK, or if you choose to ignore or whatnot, it does not seem to affect game play.

Can confirm. Malwarebytes hates the new center. Tries to block everything.

Lost count of how many people have had issues with this .....
I avoided it outright mostly because I don't play Tanks or Warships and have no need for it
and its patch time and we all know WG likes to update and hide so here's the Warplanes download

I keep the Game Center page updated but refrain from the use thereof - I enter the game file and launch game from there.
If the Game Center page is not up to date - it will not allow one to launch the game without the required update.

In fact I am unable to install the launcher.
The installation appears as a blank icon in the task bar, then switch off after some seconds.
I'm getting the exact same behavior...

What can ~300 of us do?
Just think of the uproar it will cause if the same is done to Tanks and Ships...or perhaps it is on the way...

Both Norton and McAfee also do not like the new Game Center.
I've had problems with it since it was introduced during the most recent CT testing session.
I now simply set up shortcuts on my desktop pointing to the Application files inside the game folders. (one for EU Server, and another for NA Server).
Apparently you now MUST use the Game Center to update. But as far as running the game through the Game Center, that ship has already sailed, and I shan't be doing so again.

This ^^
Once you get the Game Center installed, it will update all of your WG titles.
Create a desktop shortcut with the following as the target: C:\Games\World_of_Warplanes\WorldOfWarplanes.exe Start in: C:\Games\World_of_Warplanes
Use the new shortcut to start the game and bypass the Game Center. As King stated, if you aren't the same version as the server, it won't let you on and will give you a message telling you as much. Simply run the Game Center for updates then repeat steps 1-3. The shortcut you made will continue to work without invoking the Game Center as long as the game is updated.

Exact same issue. Last time around I was able to install from the downloaded file by running as administrator. This time around, nothing I will do (including booting into safe mode with networking) will allow me to install.
I get a blank icon in my task bar that disappears after a few seconds. After that, nothing happens. I uninstalled WOWP altogether and I cannot even run the full game installer, same results.
Thanks WG! Pretty much par for the course.

Ok, I found a workaround for Windows 10. I had to use this compatibility mode to get the install to work: " Windows compatibility mode: Windows XP (Service Pack 3)User Account Control: Run as administrator"
