Hello, I've got W:A with newest patch installed and when i'm playing it, it freezes after some time of playing (usually 1-2 hours). It isn't that my computer is too low, because i've got pentium 4 3ghz, 1gb of ram and 128mb graphics card. I've had this problem on earlier patch too.
Any suggestions what can i do to make stop worms freezing?
Freezing looks like: screen is freezing and background music is still playing...
Don't write "format format", because i need to know how to fix it, no reinstall windows...

make sure your computer does not overheat. open your computer case and clean all the dust using anti-static brushes or cans of compressed air.

Do you still hear the in-game sounds when it freezes?

No, i hear background music only. Only screen of Worms is freezing and the only thing i can do is press ALT+CTRL+DELETE and close WA.exe process (task manager window isn't showing, i must close Worms "blind"), or restart PC.
Everything other is OK, i mean when i'm playing other games eg. Counter-Strike, or surfing on the internet it doesn't freeze.

I had this problem too. I unistalled and reinstalled the game and re-applied the patch and then was all ok. But my problem was with World Party. I don't know if it will work on Armageddon too. Remember to backup the savegame!

This seems to be the same problem as in this thread (http://forum.team17.co.uk/showthread.php?p=680796).
