Finally got to play games at the last moment. At like 3:30 a.m.. after weeks of being on every single day looking for him.

That's not how it works man. You schedule a date and a time with your opponent and then meet on WormNet. Jengu said that he even asked you to pick a date.

Third game he intentionally blocked my worm at the start (claimed it was an accident) and it just pissed me off for the whole match.

lol, you really think he did that intentionally and is lying about it? He clicked on the same spot where your worm was, which is what you do when racing stuff is on. Jengu even said that he thought rs was on. That can happen to anyone...

I didn't bother specifying a specific date and time because I assumed that he would be on at SOME point, plus I started a new job recently and my schedule is chaotic right now. Up until those games I was on a lot - basically every day, at various times throughout the day. I should have seen him at some point regardless of time zone differences. The point behind what I said is that I think the games were garbage and honestly they shouldn't count. By the time we even *started* playing for real I was already pissed off and not in the mood to play due to it being last minute, very late at night, then having to restart twice, then finally starting a game with INCORRECT SETTINGS after getting blocked. (If I specify ZaR RR and the settings are not ZaR RR then is it legit?) I was irate before the start of my first actual turn and by the end of the first match I stopped caring. I reviewed the replay of the first match and I stand corrected. It doesn't look as though he intentionally tried to block me but by that point it really didn't even matter. I was already not in the mood.

Finally got to play games at the last moment. At like 3:30 a.m.. after weeks of being on every single day looking for him.

First game had to be stopped because he didn't have his res set correctly. Second game he lagged out. Third game he intentionally blocked my worm at the start (claimed it was an accident) and it just pissed me off for the whole match. Fourth game I didn't even try. Glad it's over. I couldn't focus at all and I was pissed off the entire time. Also, batty and rs wasn't even on so the settings were technically incorrect. Eh, f@#! it. I gave up.

This game caught my eye and I finally had the chance to play it at a friend's house a few days ago.

My thoughts on it are that it is a fun game but it gets boring very quickly. I'd call this game a 'rental' title, although video game rentals are kind of a thing of the past. The problem with the game is that there's so few types of courses / minigames that it gets stale remarkably fast. Also, random luck has a LOT to do with it. On 'race' types of courses, if you start in the front you have a much better chance of qualifying or even winning than if you start in the back, and that's completely random. Also, the controls leave a lot to be desired. You basically just run and steer 90% of the time. You can jump, but the jump mechanics aren't very satisfying and there's this annoying little delay between pushing the button and actually jumping. Aside from that all you can really do in the game is dive forward, which is sometimes useful, and you can also press a shoulder button to grab onto someone, or an object. You can't 'attack' anyone per se, and in many of the game modes it's not worth messing around with anyone else anyway.

Is it initially fun? Yes. Is the art style cool? Yes. Is the game active? Yes. The sound department is lacking though. The music is boring and unremarkable and the sound effects are forgettable and bland. Also, there's really no 'end game' to it at all. If you win a certain amount of times you can get enough crowns to unlock special outfits but who cares lol. I definitely wouldn't pay full price for it. Some people might have a blast playing it but I know that for me I'd get super bored after a week. You can pretty much experience all the game has to offer in 1-2 days.

Someone should snag the Worms Revolution soundtrack as well. Probably the best background music of all of the Worms titles IMO.

I have done everything that I can think of to get this to work.

-I've checked everything in the NVIDIA control panel.
-I've tried running the game with onboard graphics as well as my dedicated video card.
-I've checked that Windows10 is up to date.
-I've checked that all of my drivers are up to date.
-I've experimented with every possible combination of settings in WA, as well as various resolutions.

No matter what, I have visual issues. At best it looks like a watery, translucent horizontal bar that goes all the way across my screen and kinda travels up and down, making terrain kinda wiggly. At worst I get constant micro-lags and the terrain is tearing so bad that it looks like it's glitching out.

Prior to re-installing Windows10, WA was working just fine for me. 1080p, version 3.8. I haven't changed anything in my setup at all. This is extremely confusing. I am not having issues with any other applications... just WA. In the past all I had to do was turn on vsync and everything was cool. Now it's like vsync does nothing at all.

I have no idea what the refresh rate is on the TV. I don't really care too much because these days I don't do much gaming, and most of the gaming I DO partake in is fairly slow paced and not graphically intensive. I just use HDMI to connect to my TV because a 42" screen is a hell of a lot easier on my eyes than a 17" laptop screen. I haven't had any issues with latency until the update. Now I have other issues but I think it's unrelated to all of this.

Without v-sync enabled I get horrible screen lag. I think that this is because I use a 1080p television as a monitor connected to my laptop via HDMI. I've always had v-sync enabled before and it never gave me issues. All I know is that ever since the update, roping has felt weird. I'm falling a lot more than I normally do and I can't scroll worth a crap. Worms feel 'heavier' somehow too. The game does look smoother overall animation-wise but I guess I'm just having trouble adapting to the update. I'm struggling!
