Title: [SOLVED] Can't extract from replays anymore!
Post by: Sensei on September 20, 2015, 01:14 PM

Anyone faced similar problem? Few days ago everything was ok. But then I accidentally erased W:A. After reinstalling extracting was no longer possible.

Is it possible that WormKit caused this problem? Because when it asked me which program I'll use to open replays, I pressed on WormKit icon instead of W:A icon. And now it's not possible to change anymore. This is how replay files looks atm:

After right click on file, it doesn't even show me extracting options.

Ty for reading. Hope someone will know the answer.

There you go.

Theres an ingame option to register file associations, if this doesnt work then reinstall it again and use WA.exe instead wormkit.

(just to have this recorded in the thread)

angus, that's normal by default on Steam installations. You need to run WA.exe /register as admin in command-line to register associations.

Last time I've heard of this problem I've suggested re-applying the latest W:A version patch needed - 3.6.31.0 for PX users and 3.7.2.1 for everyone else. If I'm not mistaken, they request admin rights when launching and correctly register associations during the process, which I believe is a more stable and noob-friendly solution. Then again, I'm not even sure if that worked...

And by the way, @Sensei why use WormKit.exe if there's a much more convenient WormKitDS that doesn't require a separate executable? http://worms2d.info/WormKitDS

Well...don't know WTF8. Guess I use whatever may help at given time.

Gl in solving this angus. Instead of #anythinggoes try #help channel.
Or pm and annoy StepS like I'm doing everytime when W:A starts to act weird :D
