Title: Worms 2 not working
Post by: Lemmings Boy on October 11, 2024, 08:25 PM
Hi everyone   :)

It's me again,  I got the old worms 2 game from the GOG, it doesn't seem to work as once you get by the intro it goes to a white screen and then freezes. Does anyone know how to get by this.  I'm Windows 10, 64bit

The old worms 2 is still quite fun, you can't do the cool jumps like in worms Armageddon. (lol)

As j0e said, all you need is the Worms 2 Plus patch.
Opening ports is only needed for TCP multiplayer.
You can play without port forwarding using IPX thanks to the IPX servers (which you can browse, modify and select using the Address book button!), also ignore the "internet play is not supported with IPX" hint, it hasn't been updated.
Its quite normal for the servers to be empty. People usually plan games outside the lobbies, like on Discord for example.

As for the 'cool jumps in Worms Armageddon', assuming you're talking about the backflips you can indeed do them in Worms 2, but they were locked behind a cheat. Thankfully the Worms 2 Plus patch unlocks the backflip permanently, even in online modes :)
