Other worms games / Re: Won't launch - help appreciated
« on: September 16, 2013, 10:04 PM »Installing in a non-Program Files folder worked. The game launched, but... "Insert game CD" message appeared.Hello,
Thanks much for the fix! I can't get the game to launch at all, though. Any hints? Here are the facts:
-Using Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1 64-bit
-Did a clean install to Program files (not Program files (x86)). Just experimenting with anything now, because the install in the (x86) wouldn't launch.
-Installed the 1.01 patch.
-Unzipped the fix file into the WWP folder.
Did not change any other settings (Windows compatibility, colors settings).
Any ideas appreciated. Thanks!
Never install your games into any of the Program Files, except Steam games. This directory and all of its subdirectories are write-protected and cannot write data to their own folders. Therefore the game may fail to create some files it needs, not to mention that your teams and singleplayer progress would always be reset on every start.
Reinstall the game into a good folder, for example My Documents or "Games", that is free.
Then, if the game still doesn't start please tell exactly what happens when you launch it. In particular, a screenshot or possibly a video of the problem would be appreciated.
I thought the WWP install file I downloaded was no-CD-needed abandonware, but I guess not. Now I have to find my old WWP CD.Many thanks StepS! Salute!
