I remember hearing that some sound banks were removed because of political correctness. I assume "The Raj" and "Rasta" are considered racist nowadays.

The Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity commissars don't like Indians and Rastafarians. Surprise, socialists don't like things.

There is a work-in-progress mod for this. It's "not suited for general release", however.

If server-side software is closed source you will never know what it's doing exactly. It may or may not keep chat logs. There's no way of knowing. Always be careful of what you're saying!

Or else you will get cancelled.

Don't fear cancellation, stand up to it. There's a Gulag Archipelago page dedicated to that, but it's a bit long. Also, don't send personal information over unencrypted channels like a game from 1998 for Christ's holy sake. Don't say anything you wouldn't want put in a replay for all time. I love hoarding replays like a collection of memories from all games where they exist - and I'm still a bit sad about that one computer where I didn't back them up. Nothing quite like booting up a decade old match of Halo Reach to reminisce.

This one is honestly a bit weird. I have W:A installed on two laptops. One on its last legs (the integrated hard drive fails SMART tests) and another fresher (but still budget) one. The kind with 2 GB of RAM and an integrated eMMC NAND chip with only 32 GB of space. Both of them run W:A well, because it's not at all hard to run; naturally, the former one takes a lot longer to load stuff. Here's the kicker, though. It's the good laptop that can't seem to stream the music.

For reference, I tried turning off WormKit modules, and it still doesn't play the music. No errors or anything, just no music. I verified that the files are all installed on both systems (I even did a LAN game to compare, and the junker ran the music fine!) and even updated to the high quality versions and tested them again. The same thing happened.

The only difference between the two installations is that the working one is on the C: drive on Windows 7, and the not working one is on the D: drive on Windows 10. (I did move it there manually for reasons of storage limitations, but I don't think W:A cares much about that - it even fixes its own registry associations: maybe music is a strange exception?) Applying Windows 7 compatibility mode doesn't work either. The next thing I'll try once chkdsk does its work is probably to run the good laptop's installation on the crap one by network share. If that works...

EDIT: I did a little experiment, and symlinked W:A to my C: drive, and the music suddenly started working. Either it WAS because I manually moved the game, or the game itself doesn't like not being on the C drive. Only one way to find out. Well, two. I'll try RegEdit first.

It's not so much for people to challenge themselves with inferior controls, moreso for you to hook a laptop to a TV to play the objectively superior PC version of Worms at a party. Passing the keyboard and mouse is way more difficult than passing the controller, but six teams of up to eight worms is far better than four teams of up to four.

Although some mad lads could do challenge runs with it. Some guy beat Sekiro with bloody bongos after all.

It's significantly less lossy than MP3.

He speaks truth. FLAC support would be nice, given that this is aimed at audiophiles anyway. (Good for team soundfonts too.)

How is this not getting any hype and attention?  So much focus on worm order, while this masterpiece quietly flies under the radar..

I just want OP to know that I appreciated messing around with this. The fact that those water cheats are built in is actually good for a TAS tool. I could see it being good for training too. Practicing zook angles and all that. (Just need to use a wind cheat for more convenience than having a thousand schemes)
