why do you need 3.6.31.0? That guide is outdated, it's said even in the beginning. Just install the 3.7.2 update, it's already perfectly compatible with Windows 8 without any glitches/
Dec 30 2013 23:59:44 <StepS> windowed mode isn't the only thing you need about frontend
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

do you really need Project X? Because as I said, there's an update which officially fixes Windows 8 compatibility without issues.

It's here: http://wa.team17.com/main.html?page=supp&area=upda&file=15
