Title: W2 and Worms United on Win10?
Post by: Sensei on January 12, 2019, 04:34 PM

I bought w2, united and forts under siege recently on gog.
Installed only w2 to try it out after 20 yrs, didn't run others.

Can't get past intro video in w2. 8/10 times can't even end task, only pc reset helps.
Also, for some unknown reason, w2 uses 35% of my cpu (i5, 6th generation), while armageddon takes like 0,1%.

Did i just purchase 3 games that cannot run on newer systems? If anyone knows solution, let me know.
Thx.

VirtualBox exists, and I know that downgrading your operating system can be bad for security & Microsoft doesn't like it, but it can work. Computers with older OS's are cheap on eBay anyways.
