hm, windows xp x64... Interesting. Can you give more info about lag? Is it a slow-up lag, or you just notice some pauses/framedrops during gameplay? In particular, what's your graphic card (the screenshot didn't tell it)? Can you open the task manager at the cpu tab, where the chronology of the CPU usage is? Then play wa, reproduce the lags and then look at the graph if there are spikes.

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

1st: The most important thing if u use snooper is, that u put the setting: Hide all Windows and automatic minimize to tray if a game starts. If the snooper isn't minimizes to tray while playing wa it causes several millisecs of lags. For non rope schemes it doesn't matter but if u play fast schemes like roperace it would be annoying.

2nd: Your hardware is much better than necessary, but u have too much software running in the background. Try to close all Internetsites and all chrome.exe (that stands for googlechrome I think). If an inernetexplorer is open while playing it could cause lags, too.

3rd: If u still get lags u could try an easy way - install and launch Game Booster (a programm which kills all unnecessary prozesses to improve the gameperformance).

Good luck.

What happens if you disable "Use double buffering" in the advanced options menu?

To get to the advanced options menu, make sure you're running the latest version of WA (3.6.31.0), then from the 4-tile WA main menu, click the bottom-right button with question marks, then click "Advanced".

Doing this might introduce screen tearing while scrolling, but might also fix frame drops.  Please try this and tell me the results.  I am not sure exactly what your problem is, so I'm not sure if it'll work, but I think it's useful to try.

I installed the program Game Booster 3, it didnt make any difference. After, i go to "configure" and mark all option and then it take off the screenlag. Or the screenlag is very small and is insignificant for me. :)
Thanks Dennis, steps, lex and style for help me

Your post is ambiguous.  Do you mean you opened the WA advanced configuration menu and enabled all the options, or do you mean you opened the Game Booster 3 configuration menu and enabled all the options?

I doubt that a program named "Game Booster" would have any affect on any game. :)
