Title: cut and reset
Post by: r3spect on June 16, 2019, 05:37 AM

I have a problem, sometimes during the game (less often) or when watching replays (much more often) playing jams I can not do anything and the only option is to reset the computer? Any ideas in advance thanks (windows 10)

Might be hardware related. Have you recently added ram or made other upgrades/changes to your PC? Could be overheating or power issue too. Air conditioner plugged into same circuit as pc?

Also make sure you have d3d9wnd, superfrontendhd,
and these files http://files.steps.club/various/ddraw_fix_w8_up.zip extracted to worms folder. In Wa advanced settings make sure "load workout modules automatically" is selected, and direct3d9_shader is the best graphics renderer but might be worth experimenting if the above all fails

StepS is the master at fixing w10 issues.. if none of that helps you should ask him. In theory the 3.8 update will fix all those issues too.

Since it's an issue with minimizing, I gotta ask to check which renderer the game uses (Main Menu -> Options -> Advanced -> Graphics). Usually you want it to be Direct 3D (the lastest is the bestest) and not DirectDraw. Could fiddle with various Advanced options if that doesn't help.

Happens for me too, easiest fix is just to alt+tab (minimize) one more time and chat will work then.

Worms Armageddon is broken on Windows 10 (unless you're running the atrocious Steam update that doesn't allow Wormkit), so that's why I stick with 8.1, but Worms Armageddon SHOULD be fixed in 3.8, so keep your eyes peeled.

Bullshit.

Bullshit, WormKit is built-in, only specific version-dependant modules are affected. Downgrade (https://worms2d.info/Updates) if it's an issue.

... that might very well release together with Half-Life 3.

Trust me, we'll be at Worms Armageddon 66.6 before Half Life 3 releases!
