Right click on WA.exe, select properties, check ''run this program in compatibility for'', choose Windows 8 or 7.

Doesn't work? Try download ''wkD3D9Wnd.dll'' and place it in your Worms Armageddon directory.

Alright then, thank you.

The network lags are still present on WormNAT2, I can't speak for HostingBuddy.

Because of these lags, there's been a lot of enigma surrounding the issue. Why does it take so long to resolve? I do appreciate the effort put into it, but every time the problem is brought to light, the answer are still the same ''Soon, a few more days tops''. Some theorists believe the whole maintenance/move? is because to ready worms for the next big update 3.8 or 4.0. If you can't speak about the updates, because it's all hush-hush, then perhaps you could give a more clear answer when users can expect a resolve?

Cyberlink's PowerDirector is also a good choice.

Great idea! I like it. It's brutal and punishing. Good job!

Don't mind the haters though.

I love Glados! She's a voice actor (Ellen McLain) and a opera singer.

5-10 second rule: If player B can't reach finish within 20-25 seconds more or less, he/she loses.
So even if player B reaches finish at 30s, it will be counted as defeat, unless if it is below 25-20s.

But due to maintenance, there are majority that experience it as ''lag''. Where each lag can last up to 2 minutes or more, which means a match can be twice as long. This in popular opinion can be very frustrating in games.

Although I personally appreciate the work that's being done

Kradie the specs were for laptop, for music and video editing and gamin, the pc is old lol.

Those specs looks pretty beefy though.

Yeah they are, and rightly so for music, gaming and future projects.

The PC though is:

AMD FX(tm)-6350 Six-Core Processor 3.90Ghz
4GB RAM
NVIDEI GeForce GTX 650 Ti

I mean, I guess it's ok for a bangar haha

Right on David!

I'm not advocating betting, but it does take the game further than merely 'spectating'. AFAIK the site has no intention to work with real money, so I'm cool with that. It's a means of getting involved in a game without actually taking the controls. I can't think of many alternatives to that other than chatting/stats tracking or some kind of god powers.

Well, I'm not convinced of your idea. This type of concept isn't exactly revolutionary. People already place wagers in all types of tournaments, private, unofficial  or not. Taking this concept into video game won't stop the need to place wagers, it would only escalate to real money.

You can already see it happening on TuS. Some people may only partake in tournaments and cups if money is involved. Worms Armageddon wasn't about money gamlbing. Obviously it has come to this as people have grown up, and wants a reason to play. There's no shame in that.

The PC is pretty old, just for WA and Netflix really.

My spare is something similar to STRGRNs processor, with only 8gb RAM, but a NVIDIA GTX 8xx something, but i'm giving that to my father cuz his PC kinda sucks and he's into photography so it'll be decent for him

I am flabbergasted by this whole statement

Those specification may be ''defined'' as old in the computer technology world, but they're WAY overkill for WA and netflix alone. They're plenty enough powerful for streaming, video editing, and high end gaming. Unless if you NEED to run everything on 4K Ultra on 60fps and beyond. If you NEED to save some seconds in rendering 4K video.

I am quite content with my setup i5 6600K, 8GB DDR4, & GTX 970.
I do not intend to upgrade anything after the year 2020. Only an enthusiast or someone who seeks a laughable bragging right of a SUPER HIGH END COMPUTER would upgrade every year.

Of course, to each his own

Perhaps the issue here is that the older one gets, the harder it is to find a suitable game to one's taste.

This is very true. The more games you try the more you're looking out for that special game that has elements of old games you like + the additions you've always wanted to see implemented in it.

Lately I've been looking for a game where you can play a little less active role as a player.. where you just sit and watch the CPU do stuff.
The most interesting thing I found was saltybet, a site where you watch hundreds of characters face each other in street fighter-like battles on random maps borrowed from all popular fighting games. Every new round you place a bet (with fake cash) for which character you think will win and then you just sit and watch the CPU AI operate both characters. It's quite funny and relaxed, but I guess it too gets old after a bit.
Here's the link: http://www.saltybet.com/

I think there's a market for these kind of games.. now with the current trend to watch ppl play games on YouTube instead of playing them yourself.

Maybe I'm a little overplayed 

But yeh, it's concepts like these that I'm talking about. I wish companies had the ingenuity to take games further than just being 'games'. If you see games as interactive media... there's a lot more possibilities that go beyond the traditional singleplayer or multiplayer setup of 'press A to achieve mission Z'.

Sandbox games & open world games were a true revolution, but IMO they haven't quite reached their potential yet. They have never really gone further than GTA or minecraft.

While this idea sounds innocent in practice, it will eventually lead to a gambling problem. and I think we have enough of that going on already. Eventually these companies will want to give players a choice whether to use fake or real money to further their progression. It could be that fake money would limit their interaction with the game, meaning that real money would be a clear winner if you want to gain something significant in return.

Everything gambling related is designed to keep you from leaving, these types of shenanigans are already in casinos and gambling websites. So Imagine a game where you are playing, the game will give you the illusion of reward but in reality the company behind the game(s) are the ones that makes a profit.

E.g As soonest you give off the command to your bet(AI) fighter/racer or slot machine, the game is already determined the victor and loser,  and you will have to wait until it is played out.

In the end I think it is a bad idea and a shady practice that wouldn't benefit the consumers.

I think it is a wonderful Idea, there's nothing sad and pathetic about it.

What I believe you might need is to make a team, and a team needs a leader and structure.
David? Your heart is in the right place and a lot of people could benefit of this.

Good luck in your endeavor lad, it is very ambitious and I hope it works.

If you need any help, feel free to PM me.

Perhaps the issue here is that the older one gets, the harder it is to find a suitable game to one's taste. Nostalgia bias can be strong element within particular group that is less willing to try what is new. Understandingly so, because the new generation may prefer and even believe what is present today to be innovative. Although without some form of knowledge of the past, it is likely the today society is as content as we were back in the days.

From my perspective there aren't a lot of games in this day and age that appeals to me. Because what was and still is in my possession is what I am quite content with. Does this make me not willing to try anything new? Well both yes and no. A game called Sonic Mania is to be released soon, and this game is to borrow everything what made the more successful Sonic great, great again. Will this offer anything new? Probably not. There's likely the same elements and expectations we are used to.

Then we have Super Mario Odyssey, it looks quite fun and very classy. But are there anything new in this game? Somewhat, there's still this basic platforming and exploring. But what makes this game interesting is how Mario can control the cap for various things in order to progress, and merge himself into a wall and go play as 2D Mario.

Of course you may not even care for Sonic nor Mario. But those are 2 examples. The rest of the games  I can think of are just the same e.g Call of Duty, Battlefield, Counter Strike, Rainbow Six Siege and Insurgency.
See how I only mentioned shooters? There's nothing special about these shooters, only that they appeal to a difference broad of audience and there's nothing wrong in that. The point is, for each installment there's little to no significant updates that are made, except for maybe story and more microtransactions.

The business model is pretty old fashioned, just look at how Android OS. It has incremental updates, it updates over time without you having to buy the entire OS over again at a later stage. Apple introduced this with their OS, and I believe Microsoft is already following this business model with incremental updates.
Buying a new game for blood price + microtransaction seems to kill it for me personally. Some of these games aren't even half finished.

In the end, we are all different and have our own particular taste, best to accept this.
