Hey trippenz nice website!

I would personally improve the English displayed in that website, what are your kids going to think about you?

I would also improve the server, I mean, Tripod? For an excellent programmer like yourself with a portfolio full of ninjas I'm sure you could spare a few dollars buying a server and a domain.

Also the design is pretty poor, specially for a 3D artist like yourself. Your website really lacks credibility look-wise, I'd work on that.

Also, I would expect someone able to do as much as you claim to be able to use the "edit" feature.

That's all the constructive criticism I've got for you!

Wait, aaa.exe? Where exactly did you buy that Worms:Armageddon CD from? Also, what edition is it (what's drawn on the box)?

[JackeD42]

I renamed the file aaa.exe to see if i could get it to install through CMD

still didnt work...

I will try your patch!

As far as I have heard by now, the DX10 support for DirectDraw (2D stuff) is exceptionally slow, because it's not hardware accelerated (?).

[JackeD42]

I am using DX 9!!

[Squirminator2k]

Not if you're using Vista, you're not.

[franpa]

when did they announce that direct x 10 came pre-installed with vista?

[CyberShadow]

I'm pretty sure Aero uses DirectX 10.

arr ok

my fault

well any ideas???? why it is running so jerky!?!??!?!

[CyberShadow]

You could try running the SlowFrontendWorkaround_on/off.reg files.

[tomleboubo]

Windows Vista include the version 10 of DirectX, AND a new build of DirectX 9, named DirectX 9LE (for Legacy), wich can emulate old games.

[JackeD42]

Ok well still no luck even with the slow front end reg file!

[CyberShadow]

I guess you're stuck, then.

Windows Vista isn't officially supported and probably won't be supported until 4.0. You can try to seek support from Microsoft or other forum members which were successful in running the game on Windows Vista. At the moment of writing this, none of the game's developers own a copy of Windows Vista to address any compatibility issues - and, either way, fixes in the front-end are mostly deferred until the next major update (4.0), which will basically feature (at least) a complete rewrite of the front-end.

[JackeD42]

Ok kool

You know when version 4.0 is going to be out and available???

[CyberShadow]

No release dates, I'm afraid. It'll be out when it's finished, no sooner, no later.

[JackeD42]

Just a random idea!!!! But is it possible to make worms armageddon a bootable game


stupid idea but you never know??...

[franpa]

not without making a whole operating system based around it, and I very much would rather them focus on the game itself then that.
