I am relatively new to the Linux system, I currently use a Fedora 25 OS I believe. I am trying to setup a world of tanks game for my pc, but I keep running into a nasty bug. I used PlayOnLinux to install it, but i ran into a bug that prevented the application from launching. So, instead, I navigated to the game folder and directly launched the game from there. Everything worked fine until I got to the game menu/garage. Every tank is colored by a black or green or purple skin that looks mostly random and is not a part of the game. I entered a battle only to find that the graphics are not generating correctly, at all. They are so poor quality that it is embarrasing, and the minimap wont generate at all. I have tried adjusting the graphics settings, but it only decreases the quality. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I would be quite helpful if you could post more info about your hardware and what Wine version.

If you're on Nvidia, are you sure you're using the proprietary drivers?
If you have no idea please open a terminal, copy and paste this command and post the output here on the forum:
glxinfo|grep Op
As manero said, please post more info about your hardware (especially the gfx card and the driver you're using). Also, please say which version of Wine you have running in your WoT container. Did you install any libraries like dx9 or vcrun?
Take a look at the World of Tanks winehq page (google "winehq world of tanks", the search on winehq itself looks broken right now). See what the people with silver and gold ratings did to get the game running. Especially note the Wine version they used for the game and install and set the same one in PlayOnLinux. People will say they installed stuff with winetricks, but you can just use the POL GUI do to the same things.

Recommended installation sequence (v.9.15)
As for many other apps, it is recommended that you install this game in clean wine prefix (directory, containing your "windows folders" and wine configuration).
The following installation sequence is recommended:
winetricks d3dx9_36
add msvcp110 and msvcr110 libraries using winecfg as "native, builtin"
Change "launcher_transport" from 3 to 2 in "WoTLauncher.cfg", to avoid torrent update issue (Bug#38980)
(Intel GPU) install libtxc-dxtn-s2tc0 (S3TC compatible library) deb package from repository

If the game doesn't work out of the box try to install those libraries.
Anyway you won't get close to the Win10 performances by using vanilla Wine or even Wine Staging.
To get as close as possible you need to use Wine Gallium Nine but I guess that POL doesn't have it avaiable (aside for some old versions).
I searched the web a bit and I couldn't find a Wine G9 package for Fedora, leaving you to patch and compile Wine + G9 as the only alternative.
You install libraries in POL by clicking the Configure button, making sure the container where you installed WoT is selected on the left, clicking the install components tab (label could be different, my system is in a different language), selecting e.g. d3dx9_36 from the list and pressing Install.
To set libraries to native click the Wine tab and then the Configure Wine button. A new window opens. There, on the Libraries tab, select the library you want to modify from the list and set it appropriately.
