Can't Start the Game

[Lord Crisp]

Just bought Worms 4... and installed it without probs.. but still the game is freesing after the title screen, at the loading screen... the minigun just suddenly stops "shooting" and it don't get further... anybody have had the same problem?

It does pause and move. Try waiting longer.

Getting the same, and i waited for an hour. While i where doing other things. In Windows Task Manager it says not responding. So i have to end the process to get back out.

I have the latest patch available. All graphic drivers are up to date. Windows is up to date, and i got Directx 9.0C. And yes the computer meets the requirements.

So i checked on a computer where it works. The same file. In his file there is more after line 19651. Witch means the FlowControlService dosn't work while starting the game.
