Title: Can somebody make a compatibility fix for Worms 2?
Post by: Ytrojan on May 10, 2014, 08:06 PM
It would make it look much better on Windows XP and up. It would also let it work with Wine.

On wine, make sure you add dsound.dll to the DLL overrides in winecfg.
This is not for wine: http://www.gog.com/forum/worms_series/plugin_windowed_mode_for_worms_2_improve_windows_8_performance

Nah, it's more about the ports being closed I think, but the firewall still locks something I don't know, so I'm still unable to host.

i remember when w2 was coming to an end, all the active players had to use Hamachi...


so, of your interested in playing w2 online, as Fenice said, you can get on server, but to be able to connect to eachother, Hamachi will be the only way.

It worked just fine last I tried, a couple of months ago. It helps if you don't have a ridiculous network setup with unnecessary routers and funky MTU values, of course. Everyone's game also has to be patched to at least the latest official version.

But yeah, there's nobody online anymore.

How to make Worms 2 run perfectly:

1- Get the official patch from http://www.worms2.com/main.html?page=supp&area=patc
2- Get any of the unofficial patchs from http://worms.sydv.net/worms2/ in order to fix annoying bugs.
3- Use the resolution module made by StepS: http://worms2d.info/ReSolution
4- Download the DirectDrawFix which fixes the color bugs in game: http://aok.heavengames.com/blacksmith/showfile.php?fileid=11108

I have already posted a link (3rd post in this thread) to the windowed mode wrapper which resolves:
Wine does not need this fix, because it already implements its own DD wrapper. The reason why this is windows-only is simple: putting pants on twice causes all sorts of problems.
Hope this helps.
