I have a big problem with this patch. Everything works fine until I try to enter the Create new team or Edit team menu. Only black screen appears for a few seconds, than game just fall back to Windows!
I´m using a czech localised version released by CDProjekt (http://www.cdprojekt.cz) and I'm running it under Windows XP SP2.

And there is another little problem, this patch completely rewrited all czech texts into english, but it's not so important for me.

Go into your WA\User\Graves and WA\User\Flags folders and delete or move their contents.

You'll have to use an external team editor like TeamED, from www.blamethepixel.com

So you don't get any error messages - the game just exits silently?

Well, standard Windows XP application error window appears, but nothing else!

Please try running W:A with this WormKit module: 30849

I unpacked WormKit and this module to my Worms Armageddon folder and ran the game with WormKit.exe, game started without intro, but creating/editing of team still doesn't work. So, nothing changed!

Oh, silly me! I forgot to tell you that after you get the crash, you have to compress and upload any EXC_xxxx.DMP files you find in your WA folder. If there are too many by now, delete them all and make W:A crash once - then just post those.

How does it look like? Is there any chance to play the czech version with this patch?

don't forget to delete all your custom graves too, it is not just custom flags that cause the team editor to fail.

Didn't get to this yet, but it's on the to-do list.

The problem is most likely caused by an invalid grave/flag, either in the game folder or on the CD. I cannot confirm this, as the minidumps attached don't hold the required information. The bugfix for crashes caused by 24-bit bitmaps will be included in the next Beta.

Patejl: you may contact me before then to confirm if this is indeed the issue.
