Title: WA + VMware... Black screen issue
Post by: Turko on November 01, 2013, 03:42 PM
Hey :)

Well im still trying to install wa on linux... now using vmware (emulating windows xp) and i cant make it work...

In graphics advanced options:

When i select direct draw 8 or direct draw 32: Black screen when i start worms
When i select direct3d 7 : it works but awfully slow
When i select direct3d 9 software or shader: ive an error and the setup reset to direct draw 32

Can someone help me? I think the best option is direct draw 32 (if i can make it work)

Yep, 3.7.2.1 and no... i think the lag is not a hardware problem... my notebook specs (http://www.sony.com.mx/corporate/MX/productos/Computadoras/Estilo/Serie-E-11_DQ_/SVE11125CL.html)

The wk modules should be loaded automaticly in 3.7.2.1 idk wtfh, try use wormkitds like alternative.
about lags... do u have winetricks\winecfg stuff, try to change something there, ppls play crysis, skytim and nothing laging lol. You can also read how they running those games, mb u will get some good informating for wa too.

Oh now i remember when i tried to install it the console said it was already installed... maybe that dx instalation is corrupted or something, ill delete it and install it again.
