And i still got same problem, i delete worms and install it new <- still lags
Use Worms as Administrator or in Options Use Programm for.... Windows XP <Service pack 2>

.I got Vista , using 2 TFTs, i got GeForce 9600 GT, Intel Quad Core 2.34GHz, Q8200 2. RAM 4GB. 32 Bit-System.
I Hope u guys can Help me.

Most likely the video card driver issue. Try playing without the background and see if there's any difference.
-
ctrl+alt+del > processes > close the explorer.exe
after..
file > new task > search for worms armageddon.exe and click ok
this is a strange way xD
-
The problem doesn't come from a lack of "power". It's much more weird.
Anyway, keep proposing solutions, maybe we'll fall on it.
PS: This kind of problem sometimes leave from himself (but then come back anywhen).
-
Try Rok's.
@Magic, it is Win XP. He doesn't need to do that.
-
He's got Vista, actually :)
I have the same problem on my comp, with ATI Radeon-smth, it somehow can't handle that background gradient properly.
-
oops my bad XD
@MagiC, I apologize! :'(
-
Oh i forgott something to say, its not lagging since i have vista, i got vista end of 2008 and its begon after Olympics 2009 so dunno August 2009 ? I dont know why lags starts, i dont do anything ;o
But Thanks for ur help guys or girls ^^
Well ok, if i cant fixed it, i will not come back i think.
But maybe im online from time to time ^^

I would personally get Windows XP, and it should work no problem...
-
Could install Windows XP on a separate partition yeah, but usually people have a reason for using Vista.. Mostly better support for newer gfx-cards and processors.
The best bet would be to join #worms on GameSurge (IRC) and ask CyberShadow or Deadcode for help, or go to the WA Support forum (http://forum.team17.com/forumdisplay.php?f=68) on the Team17 forums and state the exact problem.

Then I'm not sleeping until this is fixed! :D
First of all, try what MagiC said, try running the game and shutting down explorer.exe in the Taskbar (best is to run the game first, then minimize - only press ctrl + alt + del AFTER you minimized because the game will crash and you will remain in Windows with 256 colors and 640*480 resolution!).
The other thing you might try is this: go to the Worms Armageddon installation folder, find Tweaks folder and run TimerWorkaround_On.reg.

Klar, musst mir nur sagen wie. :D Geh mal ICQ on.
-
btw, Are you sure you are there isn't any virus messing with your windows, eating up your resources so that nothing left for W:A?
-
Just because its a public area and only english area, I'll translate it.

I'd try to install some older graphics driver when you got a ATI graphics card. Had the same problem some months ago ;d
-
.I got Vista , using 2 TFTs, i got GeForce 9600 GT, Intel Quad Core 2.34GHz, Q8200 2. RAM 4GB. 32 Bit-System.
:P
But it could be the gfx drivers anyway.. Could try up- or downgrading them and see if it helps. :0
-
fixed :=) download new driver at nvidia.com and now it works, but i got new problem now :D
cant minimize worms and then go back in game, thats sux if i get drug colors :D
but i can play WITHOUT lags yay :D
-
You cant minimize with vista, have the same problem too. Maybe there will come an update for it, but till yet nothing works.
LSD colours I never had with vista.
But nice u got the problem solved. :)
-
speaking out of the english language results in perminate ban from tus, jail time, or even death by stoning... codex u do now know any better, so you get a warning.. but darkz, u know all too well..
*passes out 1 stone to each wormer* :)

Codex, shutting down explorer.exe should be a solution to color bug.
-

-
What's the problem with WWP? I don't know, really. :P
-
Exactly the same problem as Codex.
Went out, then came back, then went out.
But since I stopped playing for years, I have heavy screeny lags when I try to play these days.
-
I don't know about WWP, but since it's pretty much the same engine I guess the registry tweak could work there too.. And the screenlags were fixed for codex when he updated his gfx drivers. Not much I can tell about WWP since it's not getting support in any way..
-
The thing is gfx drivers are updated. <.<
I guess I'll have to drop this beautiful WWP out. :'(
