W:a has encountered an error...

[SBL]

Pretty often when I play W:A, I crash.. I hear this GDUNGG~ sound (standard windows sound when something is wrong). The weird thing is that I stay in the game but I can't press anything.. When I press some buttons (like arrow-keys) nothing happens. but when I press a random letter, then I suddently go to the desktop and then I get this message: "W:A has encountered an error. For further information check the ERRORLOG file" I can only choose "OK" and the window has a red sign with a 'X' in it..

The ERRORLOG file contains the following:

WA caused an Access Violation (0xc0000005)

its a Very long list with these codes.. underneath that are "Modules".. one of them is:

It's impossible for me to say when this error accurs, to me it seems as if it's ad random..

Does anyone know a cure?!?!?!!?

I think I did it x]

Have you tried applying the SlowFrontEndWorkAround (located in the "Tweaks" folder)? I had the same problem (I would play a game, but when it got back to the frontend, the same thing would happen to me as happens to you.), I applied the SlowFrontEndWorkAround and everything was fine. Of course, I have no idea why this worked for me, nor if it would work for you. You could try it though.

I used the tweak but I crashed again today. Same as usual :/
ty for trying to help.

I've gotten the same error as you. Running Vista. I'm trying to update the video card drivers right now, to see if that will work.

I believe this bug has been fixed since the last beta. You could wait until the release of 3.6.29.0, or you could contact me on #worms (http://worms2d.info/Worms_on_GameSurge) so we could test if the fix applies for your case as well.

I have same problem too.
I installed 3.6.28 patch but nothing change.
I use windows XP SP2 and intel 82945G graphic card.

But 6 months before I didn't give this error messages on same computer and I used Win XP (SP2).
May the case about Windows XP updates?
