Problem with monitor

[Maciej]

hey, I have new monitor with resolution 1920x1200. When I open the game I can see only black screen with text about changing resolution. I can't change resolution in game while I see only black screen... Any ideas? (what's interesing, I can open replay)

When I open the game I can see only black screen with text about changing resolution.

I need more information on this. Is it "unable to set desired video mode" error? or just the black frontend?

or it's the monitor itself telling you something (photo would be good)?

I tried to make print screen but it didn't work. But I rewrote:
Dell U2412m
The current input timing is not supported by the monitor display. Please change your input timing to 1920x1200 @60Hz or any other monitor listed timing as per the monitor specifications.

I don't understand it... Well, it seems like game works, but it's covered by the black screen with this text (because I can hear sound at the start of the game opening, I can here when I'm moving mouse, when I'm over a button, but can't see anything)

It's probably this one:

http://worms2d.info/Troubleshooting_FAQ#.22Graphics_subsystem_error_-_Unable_to_set_desired_video_mode.22_.28Windows_7_and_earlier.29

But you should have a look around and see if any of the others describe your problem better.

hm, but this problem has shown when I picked new monitor, if I use my old ones (3x4 or 9x16) it will work as always. My new is 10x16.
Well, maybe your link is helpful but to be honest there's used too hard leanguage for me or the problem is I don't know on PC that much to understand its...

Right, it's your new monitor that apparently doesn't support the 640×480 resolution at 256 colours. Try the WormKit module attached to this forum post, it forces the frontend to run at 800×600 instead:

It's a bit of a hack so don't expect things to be perfect, but it should at least allow you to see the menus.

Can you give me another source please? I can't download files from there if I'm not registered.

[Statik]

You could spend some time to register if you really wanna fix your problem

[Maciej]

I just don't like to register in places which I know I won't be using Thanks, I will check it in next weekend because now I'm out of home, and I will let you know!

I coped this file into the folder with game, but it doesn't work. When I open the game by wormNAT2 it always minimizes me before I can see anything, and when I'm trying to run it from start menu it's still same text... Any other idea? Or maybe I do it wrong?

[KoreanRedDragon]

When it minimises, can you just click on the WA icon in the taskbar and maximise it again? Make sure you click on that, not on any black squares that might be showing up.

[Maciej]

It minimises by itself automaticaly after about 2-3 sec. I can find WA icon in the taskbar and miximise it again, but it's still same - black screen which minimises after 2-3 sec again.

[Maciej]

So can anybody help me? I can't play worms because of new monitor I tried to reinstall it but it doesn't work.
