Title: Worms Armageddon on Windows 10
Post by: Kradie on July 30, 2015, 02:19 PM

I decided to install Windows 10 while at the same time I knew it could cause problems for Worms Armagedon.

So here I am, to bring my feedback to the community.

The installer didn't work, it gave me an error message and asked me to insert CD. Which I did.

So what else could I do? I have two partition on my hard drive.- One is Windows 7, and on that partition I have Worms Armageddon directory.
 I ran the game from WA.exe, it all worked just fine, but there is always a but. When I minimized in the game menus, it worked as before, but when I optimized I encountered a white screen. This didn't go away so I pressed ''ESC'' for back This issue doesn't happen every time & everywhere. The good news is, I could minimize  & optimize the game from in game mode.

Overall, the game plays as before. Changing the compatible mode doesn't change a thing.

This may be a technically issue, I thought people should know. If they wanted to update to Windows 10.

You must use 3.7 or later with the Direct3D 9 (shader) rendering API enabled in the advanced settings of the game.

I've had problems to install Windows 10 due to some errors. If you have issues while installing, try this tool by Windows. By using this tool, i were able to install Win 10 properly.

I still face the same issue when I optimizer the game (See screenshot 3 first post). Thanks for the help anyway! That border was annoying.

With the Direct3D 9 renderer and the latest update in place you shouldn't be facing that issue.
However, D3D9Wnd can help you resolve it if it still happens on your system for some reason. If you want to take advantage of D3D9Wnd's whiteness-fix while keeping fullscreen, enable "FullscreenAlternative" in the module's settings file.
