Theres nothing really remarkable. I try to start any form of game, and it closes. No error, no crash. Nothing. Anyone help? I have the latest version.

What is your CD's publisher?

It should say on the box or on the CD itself.

Please run the command
cmd /C dir /S W:\ > C:\filelist.txt
substituting W with the drive letter of the drive you have the W:A CD in. Then, compress and upload the file filelist.txt from your C:\ drive.
Also, please post the contents of W:\Data\Resource\version.txt, if such a file is present on your CD.

When I run the command it says File Not Found.
And I don't have a Data\Resource folder.

Alright now it says: "Worms Armageddon has encountered an error.
Detailed information about the error can be found in the ERRORLOG.TXT file."
I have attached the CRASH.DMP and errorlog.txt files.

All genuine W:A CDs should have the aforementioned folder.
You may be a victim of software counterfeiting. To order a genuine copy of W:A, please visit the Team17 online store (https://secure.team17.com/).

What's it matter, I can play the game, right? I already showed my support to Team17 for making this awesome game when I bought it the first time when it first came out. I'm not gonna buy it again.

Yes, you can play the game, or at least navigate the menu's... how exciting!!! wish i can click random buttons with no way to test out the settings because it crashes when trying to play!

oh...mr sarastic...Time for your daily shotgunning...
seriously though,like the last post says,it is just a certain computer,i am not a genius,but,with the computer that closes,try posting the graphics card/etc until someone who is smart enough can say something.

The crash happened because a file that should be present on all genuine W:A CDs was missing. If your CD is damaged, you will need to order a new copy.
When I run the command it says File Not Found.
If you're feeling like wasting my time some more, try this:
Open a command prompt and type
dir /S W:\ > C:\filelist.txt
substituting W with the drive letter of the drive you have the W:A CD in. Then, compress and upload the file filelist.txt from your C:\ drive.

Sounds like a pirate to me...
Please buy the game from https://secure.team17.com (about GB£5), then it'll work just fine. We do not provide tech support to pirates here.
