View Full Version : Facebook version is borked

Hello all,
I am a huge fan of worms which I have been playing since the very first installment on PCs, some twenty years ago? I own Worms Reloaded, Revolution, and the re-edit of Worms Armageddon.
(Side note: I deeply regret the removal of some of the "fab 5" weapons, which included the mighty sheep strike).
I literally jumped to the ceiling when I saw that a Facebook version was making its debut - but: it's borked. Badly. On:
* Windows 8 on a laptop, in Destkop mode
* Chrome Version 26.0.1403.0 dev-m
* Adobe Flash 11.6.602.167
The GPU is some quality NVidia card, my drivers are up-to-date, but when I reach the app page (over https), I simply get the top navigation bar, and a blank screen. I can invite friends, some things respond, such as the inbox, the lading screen appears (with a nice rotating globe), and once the globe fades, nothing happens. If I click "Play", all I can play is "watch the globe".
This is bad. *Way bad, I'll try it on another browser, out of curiosity, and get back to you with results: this cannot be left unresolved, or unpunished!
Bring me the tar and feathers ^_^

Chrome has some performance issues that affect a variety of programs, Worms included. While I don't get the same blank screen as you, there are times Worms runs rather slowly and with bad response times

Chrome Version 26.0.1403.0 dev-m
this looks like a test version of the browser. also, Chrome has its own integrated Flash and usually ignores the other one installed in system. Did you try with IE 10?

Hey Argo, can you give us a description of what you can see? Or even an image? Any more info would be great. Cheers, Bob

It is NOT google chrome nor windows 8 causing this issue... My game on internet explorer on windows 7 does the EXACT same thing he describes, loading globe, then screen just goes white... ONLY 2 of the links on the toolbar on top ever load (even though neither works)... I play LOTS of apps on Facebook daily & have NO ISSUES with any of them... I too jumped for joy when I saw "Worms" on Facebook, but now I'm just crying because I tried over 20x to load the app & it always goes white screen of death... PLEASE fix this issue fast cause I wanna introduce My 100s of FB friends to a game series MOST of them have never tried yet, THZ in advance
Sc0rpy :cool:

Have you tried unabling Javascript? And try IE 10 just like StepS said. And try Nemir' solution http://www.howtogeek.com/103292/how-...-google-chrome
Well, I don't see many other options then this, if it's still not working you aren't realy lucky. Oh wait, when nothing of that above works, try installing flash debugger and tell what you see.
Happy Worming ( And no, I'm not from staff )

Mine has been sticking at the 97% mark on the loading screen for the past couple of days, just like a couple of weeks ago, can only access the invite friends button :(

Hi Dingo, sorry to hear you are experiencing issues with the game.
Can you please check your private messages. I have already sent one yesterday to request you PM me your full Facebook name/URL. Then I can pass it on to the Worms on Facebook team to enable them to look into this issue for you.
Thanks.
