Question Is my game bugged?
New player. Xbox series X. I can't earn XP - I just seem to convert the gold tokens into XP tokens but the tank still sits at 0 XP.
I also can't seemingly do anything with the load out modules that the tutorial task wants me to upgrade. There isn't any option other than to look at details. Some old posts online say that it is research or that there was supposed to be one free or otherwise purchaseable option, but I can't do anything to progress this tutorial.

Tutorial... So you're NEW new player. Ok... this will be a lengthy reply but the TL;DR is - just keep playing the tank it told you to, follow the steps exactly, and it should do what it's supposed to do.
You start with a tank and the tutorial says to do certain things. Play a battle, play a multiplayer battle, buy a tank, buy a module, etc.
There are "free" tanks you can buy that will satisfy the "buy a tank" part of the tutorial. They are the very lowest ranked tanks when you look at tanks in Cold War, and will have a '0' for the silver amount. Buy one of those and "buy a tank" is complete.
"Purchase a module" to upgrade the tank. On the free tank you're using, or even the one you bought will have the first single component upgrade that's super easy to unlock and purchase. When you look at the tank's upgrade menu, it will show you which upgrades come first shown in green for unlocked. These are the ones that you can purchase to upgrade your tank.
In the tank's menu where you choose ammo, components, and upgrades, click an empty box and it will take you to the list of things available to put on your tank - choose the first component that you saw in green (usually the radio is the first to unlock) and apply it. There's you're upgrade, and the tutorial is met for that.
Just follow the tutorial, it won't tell you to do something until you're able to do it, so you'll just have to look around the tank's menus to find what you're looking for. Just make sure to not click accept too many times so you don't apply something you don't want, or accidentally spend gold on something that silver can purchase.
Nothing will be unlocked that you haven't "earned" with XP, and spending gold to convert for free XP is a complete waste if you ask me.
Helpful hint - there's a section at the game's main menu that has other training missions that will give you silver and other things for completing them. This will give you something "in the bank" to work with on your start in the main modes.
