WWP: A real compatibility fix for Windows 11 / 10 / 8.1 / 7 / Vista / XP

[Husk]

I am using windows 8.1 aswell, I just bought wa in steam and launched, works perfectly o0

I need help! That fix patch didnt have any effect at all. My game is still very slow and when you try to go play round in any game mode the white screen comes and i cant see anything but i can still "play"! and when i try to use the windowed mode game crashes Im using windows 8.1

I'm sorry but this is not primarily to resolve slowness, but to resolve crashing. Even though both goals are often achieved. Have you tried "AlternativeWhiteFieldsFix" for the white screen? Do you use any modifications to the windows explorer?

haha it was dead years ago i remember last time I went on 2 years ago there was 0 people online.

if no one plays WWP, how come the old Team17 forum thread (WWP color fix) has got 600000+ views between 2008 and 2013, more than 70000 downloads, people registering solely because of the fix, and tons of comments? Also look at the view counter of this thread, for the record, and notice how guests come here within 5-10 minute periods.
Another cause of the WWP server inactivity could be the broken IP address of the WormNET server (no one can connect to the server without modifying the game or redownloading the patch again, because Team17 changed their IP address various times in the past) and the crash issues that cause incompatibility with the newer systems.

A new update has been released, tagged 1.4.0.0.

Changes:

• Restored the Windows XP compatibility (it was accidentally broken in the previous release)
• Removed the two compatibility options: "UnhideT17WindowInGame" and "Force1024x768InGame", as the issues that would require their use have now been identified and resolved.
• When playing in windowed mode, you can now unpin the cursor from the game window by either alt-tabbing (if the new "AutoUnpin" setting is enabled: default is enabled) or pressing Ctrl+G. This will allow you to move the window around if the Border is enabled. Pin it back by clicking inside the window (or using Ctrl+G again).
• Added support for the window border, which did not work before. It can be enabled by setting the "Border" setting to 1 in the wndmode.ini file. The window border will only show up during the gameplay; there's no border in the menu screens.
• Added base for the future high-resolution hacks. This version will already support the high-resolution hacks (such as HD menu screens and HD gameplay) when they are released. This may happen in the near future.
• Now, if the 640x480 (or the required) frontend resolution is not supported by your system, GPU or monitor, the module will throw a warning, describing the error, and will switch you to the windowed mode. If such an error happens when starting the gameplay, no warning will be shown.
• Improved the behavior of the mouse cursor and window positions in-game. The in-game space will now always be consistent with the graphical representation of the gameplay. This fixes various issues that were present in windowed gameplay (one of them previously required "UnhideT17WindowInGame" to be resolved).
• When running frontend in windowed mode, bringing the window to the foreground through a taskbar click will now work properly.
• When AlternativeWhiteFieldsFix is enabled, if the colour depth of your system is lower than 32-bit, it will now be set to 32-bit for this mode to work.
• Now an error will be thrown if the wndmode.dll file, required by the module, was not found in the WWP directory.
• Various other fixes: reworked most of the code, preventing potential issues that were possible before.
