War Thunder Update v2.31.1.17 Fixes UI Errors and Event Exploits

War Thunder update v2.31.1.17 resolves visual research point calculation bugs and internal character server errors after vehicle research. The patch also addresses vehicle destruction states and Battle of the Atlantic event exploits.

Gaijin Entertainment has released update v2.31.1.17 for War Thunder, targeting a handful of annoying UI bugs, server error prompts, and unintended vehicle behaviors in both regular matches and the ongoing special event.

Interface and Progression Fixes

A visual bug where Skill Bonus research points failed to display in the Total and modification progress sections of battle results has been resolved. The points were always calculated correctly, and the totals now match visually. A separate bug triggering an internal character server error when clicking premium or event vehicles immediately after finishing a vehicle research tree has also been fixed.

Vehicle and Event Adjustments

Ground vehicles like the BM-13N now correctly show their rocket counts decreasing after being destroyed by enemy fire. For the Battle of the Atlantic event, a bug that let players load in using reserve vehicles instead of pre-made lineups is fixed, along with an issue that caused depth charges to release in a continuous series from a single button press. Finally, popup hints from the event will no longer bleed into regular naval battles.

Why this patch matters

Update v2.31.1.17 cleans up interface inaccuracies and event exploits, making post-battle research screens and naval matches function reliably.
