Okay, please close this thread. I mean, look at the damn date or something. >_>
Spoiler! View
Original Thread title: WA + Windows 8 = no deal at all.

OLD INFORMATION FROM 2011

As we know currently, WA doesn't work on Windows 8. It crashes once you start a match, and the errorlog isn't created too (because it is a Windows appstop error).
Me and Kawoosh later tried launching it with Project X, and guess what, it lauched! Most likely because of Project X's Direct X integration. However it crashes after a match, because the game must return to frontend.
I've installed Windows 8 myself and can give you the screenshots.
after some tries, it WORKS on Windows 8, without PX or anything! Double buffering fixed the black screen, but I still don't know what fixed the App Crash.
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

Why, it can be installed.

Ok, I've installed Windows 8 and examined it.
WA works in frontend, but crashes once you start a match, and the errorlog isn't created too (because it is a Windows appstop error).
Then I tried launching it with Project X, and the match started just fine! Most likely because of Project X's Direct X integration. However it crashes after a match, because the game must return to frontend.
I can give you the screenshots if you wish.

Update from 18.12.2011: after some tries, it WORKS on Windows 8, without PX or anything! Double buffering fixed the black screen, but I still don't know what fixed the App Crash.

I think I can safely say that currently you are the only Wormer that wants to play W:A with Win8. Don't make too much effort. Win7 is here to stay for long. :P

no, I don't want to. I was just experimenting and I'm giving the info to people that may want to do so in future.
