Post by: codex on August 21, 2010, 02:16 PM
Hello

My name on Wormnet is " CF-codex " maybe someone remember me.
2007 i stoped worms cos im getting bored of this game, 2009 ill played olympics and i was thinking about to come back 100% but i dont becaus i got damn lags ingame <- offline modus or online modus doesnt matter.

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>

Informations for u :

.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.

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.

:P

But it could be the gfx drivers anyway.. Could try up- or downgrading them and see if it helps. :0

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..

What's the problem with WWP? I don't know, really. :P
Title: Re: Problems with Worms Armageddon
Post by: Abnaxus on August 24, 2010, 01:10 PM
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.
Title: Re: Problems with Worms Armageddon
Post by: darKz on August 24, 2010, 02:11 PM
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..
Title: Re: Problems with Worms Armageddon
Post by: Abnaxus on August 25, 2010, 09:50 AM
The thing is gfx drivers are updated. <.<

I guess I'll have to drop this beautiful WWP out.  :'(
