after minimizing I can't maximize the Game!! (Black Screen)
« on: December 26, 2014, 02:06 PM »
People please... tell me wut to do...

I tend to minimize the game for many reasons, to lower my music volume or to check Fbook and now I am pushed to play 50 min (molz) stright forward without any possibility to return to the game because then when I maximize I got some graphics fragments and black screen, I don't even have the sound of the match music etc...

But I do can maximize the game if I am in Anything Goes or in Hosting lobby

HULP  :'(  :'(  :'(

Are you running WA as administrator? You shouldn't be, it causes various issues, one of them being the inability to restore the game after minimising.

try moving the game folder to the desktop
MonkeyIsland, my friend, I know your english is terrible and your understanding of society limited. However, in real life, people attack and humiliate others without the use of a single bad word. They even go to war with lengthy politeness. You can't base the whole moderation philosophy of a community based on the use of bad words and your struggle with sarcasm and irony. My attack to Jonno was fully justified and of proper good taste.

He's not running the game in admin mode because there are words "Black Screen" in the topic title. If he ran the game as administrator, nothing would happen at all when clicking the taskbar icon.
Are you using the latest update and what renderer is in use right now? (Options -> Advanced -> Graphics API)
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

Thanks STEPS !!

I never really look at Advanced Options but I changed Direct3D 7 to Direct3D 9 Shader and it works perfectly, It even maximizes faster than it used to in past :) :) before it was sth like 1 sec, now it maximizes in 0,01 sec or sth like that lol

I have an almost identical problem - after minimizing I often can't maximize the Game!! but in my case the game crash - the error messages appears and the game quit to a desktop. I tried to switch to other renderers as StepS suggested but it still didn't solve the problem. And there are 2 different types of the crashes - one occurs often, and the second one (graphical) sporadically. Sometimes no error message appears, but the game is stucked on the taskbar and cant maximize and some graphical glitches show on the screen. All that things occurs almost everyday, they are starting to be annoying and a pain in the butt.

crashes 1-13 while using DirectDraw (32bit) (crash 13 is the one that occurs sporadically)
crash 14 while using DirectDraw (8bit)
crash 15 while using Direct3D 9 (shader)
I also got a crash on Direct3D 7 but I did not care to save the crash logs.

I put all crashes logs as an attachement
