 I press the Wk icon  to start worms (only wk, no installed px) and a black screen comes up with the white outline of a dialog box in the middle that I cannot see! Do I need a magic potion? -.-

my wa is patched and I've used it for months now without problems...wth...please help, would be nice to avoid un/installing again :(

any suggestions are appreciated



avirex

well, what do you do after that popup comes up? have you tried simply pressing space????? ....


Desetroyah

yeh, all buttons do the windows "fail" sound. nothing that's too obvious is going on :/

restarting hasnt helped either, sigh.

if in the next 30mins no one has any ideas I'll just re-install


Rok

Try running wa.exe instead wk.

The WA.exe that impo gave you is a cracked exe (nocd). It cannot read from the mounted image/CD anymore so it crashes on the start of a match if you you don't fulfill its requirements.
The white outline on a black screen is the WA's frontend (menu), failed to load its graphics. It usually happens if the intro screens are enabled, but if you have them disabled and it didn't happen before, it's weird.
To load wormkit modules you don't necessarily need to run wormkit.exe. You can still use wa.exe for modules, check here if you're interested.
Dec 30 2013 23:59:44 <StepS> windowed mode isn't the only thing you need about frontend
Dec 30 2013 23:59:49 <StepS> you need it to be actually bigger
Dec 31 2013 00:00:13 <StepS> it actually is very small on my 15-inch full HD screen
Dec 31 2013 00:00:25 <StepS> while running at 640x480 or stretched mode makes it fuzzy
Dec 31 2013 00:00:44 <StepS> this problem has been around since the Worms Armageddon's release and no one has even tried to beat it
