Hello, I purchased Worms Armageddon recently in a used game store, thought it was good to play again since I saw a friend play it in the past, I've been trying to get it to work, I installed it and updated it with the newest patch "WA_Update-3.6.26.5_Beta", the program loads up but everything is moving super slow. The mouse is not even responsive sometimes until 5 seconds later.
If I select lan games, the screen goes black I here a beep and my computer self restarts it's self! I'm so confused! This is apparently an original CD, none of those other options I've been reading about.
Does anyone else have problems where they try to start and they experience extreme slow down and unresponsiveness and ultimatly crashes without error reports or anything? What might I do to fix this?
