yo
so i've installed win 7 on my other pc and got no worms cd anymore.. i got the game on this pc, also the image files. my question is now what do i have to copy onto my other pc? the whole worms folder or just the 3 iso files?
thanks
copy the iso file (if you have three then huh, the biggest one in size)
mount, install, patch, play.
ye thanks. now i wonder if i shall install direct x 6.0?
no
much love, roper
so, do i only need the latest update? or some special tricks for playing on win 7?
why don't you just try twistah? ;D
the latest update is enough.
ok, updated it. started it and when i come to the screen to select those 4 gametypes, the screen freezes. hm?
edit: has it something to do with the tweaks? which one do i have to put to registry?
started 2 games, but cant find a "games" folder in w:a. hm?
User/Games
it doesn't create me that folder, d1
run with administrator privileges
Or uninstall worms and install it in any folder other than "program files (x86)".
it's not in program files x86, only in program files. how do i run it like u said, rope?
Either right-click wa.exe and select "Run as administrator" or right-click, select "Properties", then on the "Compatibility" tab there's an option to always run it as administrator.
thanks rene. des zweite mit den propertys find ich allerdings nicht. und weiße vllt warum die sterne im main menü von worms so schnell und teilweise ruckelnd fliegen?
Schau mal in den WA Optionen, unter Erweitert nach dem "Slow frontend workaround", das ist direkt oben links. Vielleicht hilfts wenn du das umstellst, kann aber nichts versprechen, hatte das selbst noch nie. ^^
Und das Spiel ein einziges Mal als Admin ausführen sollte eigentlich ausreichen damit WA den Games Ordner erstellt.
habs grad noch mal normal gestartet und das replay wurde nicht erstellt. muss somit immer rechtsklick bla bla machen. wo is denn das mit den propertys? da is nur noch "behandeln von kompatibilitätsproblemen". ich test das mal in den wa optoionen zwecks slow front

Da ganz unten, Berechtigungsstufe. ^^
ok, habs gemacht. nur muss ich da jetzt immer, wenns mich fragt ob änderungen an dem programm vorgenommen werden sollen, auf ja klicken?
Schon, außer es gibt da irgendwo auch sone Box wo man klicken kann dass es nicht mehr angezeigt werden soll. Weiß ich ausm Kopf nicht. Und wenns dich stört, deinstallier WA nochmal und installier es in nen anderen Ordner. Ich benutz eigentlich immer C:\Games\Worms Armageddon. Da würde der ganze als Admin ausführen Scheiss wegfallen. :P
naja, is mir etz doch zu stressig alles von vorn. egal. ja, son haken kann man da leider nicht setzen. nervig. nunja. dann passt soweit alles. ausser die sterne fliegen noch wie wild umher. und beim replay laden is das nukleare logo so farblich irgendwie inverted

Ich glaub das ist unter Win7 normal.. Solang es ingame passt is das aber verkraftbar. :P

Twistah, Program Files and Program Files (x86) are the same thing, just don't install worms there.

What kind of advice is thsi? He clearly struggles with privileges and windows 7 and you're telling him to install shit outside of Program Files.

well, i'm not about to uninstall and install it again.. it created me my "games" folder and replays also gettin in there. so for the moment i don't see any problems.
ok, got a problem while playing. it's pretty screenlaggy. putting the tweak "slow frontend off" into the registry allows me to even start the game, but the stars in the main menu are going way too fast. i think if i fix the problem with the stars, it should also fix the lags in game. on xp i put the tweak "slow frontend on" and it works fine. on win 7 gotta do the "slow front off", otherwise main menü freezes. so, any ideas?
What kind of graphics card do you have?
Also, waiting for StepS to bump into this thread so he can do what he always does.
alright, fixed my problems by installing 13 new drivers. hauhau. well, now i can't minimize anymore, otherwise i can't reopen w:a. didn't had that problem in the beginning..
http://worms2d.info/Troubleshooting_FAQ#When_I_minimize_the_game.2C_I_can.27t_restore_it
You're going to have to reinstall it to a folder that isn't protected sooner or later. Or somehow try to disable Windows protecting the Program Files folder, but that could be more trouble than it's worth on Win7.
ok, nevermind then. too lazy to do it all again only cos the minimizing.
next problem i got is with wheat snooper. i cant join a game via snoop. altho the wa.exe is selected. in the chat i see "twistah joined bla bla" but in the end nothing happens rly?

One stupid question coming to my mind: isn't WA already running when u r trying to join? ;D
hm, no. i got only snoop open and then this happens, yeah.
First, disable the Windows Firewall from Control Panel.
Secondly, every time you run WA, wormkit, snooper or whatever, right click and run as admin.
If nothing works, either
- read the Windows 7 instructions
- disable credentials
- install XP.
win firewall is off, yes.
i now reinstalled worms only on the hdd C: and still can't minimize, haha. -.-
i dunno why many peoples has problems to run WA on win 7... mine i installed normally and runs so smooth..as if were on XP :X
weird windows =/
it runs good, nino, i just can't get back into game after minimizing. and that's actually a big loss. means i can't check facebook messages or something else while playing. that's big shits
twistah, does it not let you minimize anywhere alway, or does it only crash when you minimize in the lobby/frontend or when in an actual game?
i will try the ingame minimizing today. yesterday i tried it in the main menu. it lets me minimize, but i can't get back into ghame. nor does it crash. just nothing happens if i click on the wa icon in the task bar
if it works in the game then I can think of a couple work arounds, it probably has to do with the windows desktop visual bullshit
ye, i will try it later when i'm at home then
mine i minimeze and back normally i dunno but it makes me think i have np with it cos king :D
k, everything works so far. except that i get in any rope related game screenlags for 1-2 seconds every now and then in my turns. any ideas?
lol, whats with ur pc twistah, it's one problem after another. is it an old pc?
nah man. it's actually twice as good as my old one, yet got twice as much problems, haha. i fixed pretty much all problems except those screenlags. they are not that bad, but still annoying. and i notice them in every rope related game. so i think if the frames need to be faster or something it starts to lag. hm?
do these lags come at random? Or are they stable?
If they're random:
start > run > type: msconfig > go to the windows startup tab > disable everything > restart > play worms and check if lag is still there
note that it's not recommended to have all start up programs disabled, it's just so you can identify if it's a process or a background application causing it.

Um, yes. And I'm not the only one, as you can see. Why would that be a problem, you think he couldn't handle it?
they are pretty stable, ropa. like every 15 seconds or something they come for 1-2 seconds

you use a laptop? if they come every 15 seconds it does seem like some process updating in the background or something.
nah, not laptop. now that you mentioned an update.. could be that the windows update caused the problem. there was an update to install for about 2 days, yesterdaay i finally installed it, didn't try worms since then though. so could be that i got no lags now. gotta try when i'm at home later
ok, i set the slow frontend workaround to "alternative" now and the roping is just smooth again. i think that had something to do with installing it into the programs folder. cos there both, workaround "off" and "alternative" froze up the main screen, and "on" caused lags". now works fine
I had a similar problem that was caused from overheating.
ok, don't thhink i got rid of the lags. it's ok in rope games untill you rope faster. always if something fast happens it starts to screenlag. also the falling crates sometimes lag.. weiord stuff
try lowering your WA resolution
it's on 1280x1024. dunno if i can get higher, and lower makes no sense. too big everything
do it and see if it solves your lag
