now to DPI scaling. It probably scales some apps that it shouldn't, like WWP in this case.
Disclaimer: I don't know the English labels for the sections explained below, so you'll have to check it out.
So try either:
- go into WWP.exe properties, "Compatibility" tab, then check "Disable dpi scaling on high screen resolutions" . . .

YOUR THE MAN!!!!  :D ;D :D ;D :D ;D :D ;D :D ;D :D ;D :D ;D :D ;D

This was EXACTLY the issue. Once I disabled DPI scaling the game plays just like it did on my old XP machine.

As a side note, the weird thing about me enabling border before was that it actually helped me see the game. All previous wrapper settings failed, but as soon as I enabled border, I could at least see some of the screen. Weird huh?

When I try just a clean install, the game launches with no visible video

Test 1: Clean install of worms with wrapper installed. .

http://screencast.com/t/6TCdAOMj

Note that although it's only recording the worms as a small box, in actuallity it's a full screen view on my side, but I can only see whats in that small box.


Test 2: When I change WindowedFrontEnd to 1, then on my end, it displays exactly how you see it in the screenrecording above and I can see all of the game, however it's as if it's displaying smaller then what my system thinks it is. In otherwords, I have to move my mouse to the far bottom/left of my entire screen to choose settings, but when I click, nothing happens. I've also changed "WindowedInGame" and it's simply the same result, on the small window you see above is full screen.

Now, I've messed around with the windmode file and the best I've gotten is the game will launch small (about a quarter of the size of the screen), but when I click to play a game, it expands way to big. In otherwords the app window is at least 2x bigger then the screen. It appears that no matter what mode i'm in, worms will change my screen resolution to 640 when it is 2500 by default. So at the end of every test I must manually change my resolution back to normal. If i do that while the game is running, the game will simply stop displaying properly.

Here are the settings:

WindowedFrontend=1
WindowedInGame=0

Hello!!!

I'm hoping someone can help. I've downloaded the patch for Win7 and the game finally launches!!!

My problem is that I can only see maybe 3/4ths of the screen. I have fiddled with my screen resolution and followed the troubleshooting steps above, and no dice. . .

Really hoping to get some help as me and my friends lan WWP every week and I need to be ready to kick some ass. :)
