Hello, I posted thread but it didn't show up so i'll try again.
Whenever i play a game, on or offline in WWP i get Error: Could not create CURRENT.THM and whenever i enter a game (online) the oppponent team surrenders and i win.
I cant see the generated terrains either, sorry i cant give much information, could you please try and help, thanks.
Sorry for the two topics, didn't see the first time that a moderator has to approve first.

Got Vista by the way? Then just run the game as Administrator by right clicking on the Worms World Party iconin the start menu or WWP.EXE in it's folder an choosing "Run as Administrator"
The reason that CURRENT.THM cannot be made is that in the default setup of Vista users are not allowed to mess with the files in the Program Files folder, where WWP lives. By choosing "Run as Administrator" the game gets the permissions to change the content of those folder, so that it for instance can change that CURRENT.THM file
