View Full Version : Animations in Worms 2

Yeah, Worms 2 works fine (I have the Soldout version and I use Vista), apart from one thing:

None of the animations play. The first time I played it they did play... in a tiny corner of the screen.

How do I get the animations on? I checked in the Options menu, but I didn't find an answer.


Help?

You mean the animations that play when first launching the game?

Go to your launcher (the one on the CD), and take a screenshot of it (alt+printscreen), paste it into paint, save it as a PNG image and attach it here.

It'd be more helpful if we had some system specs. Which version of Windows are you using, and do you have the latest version of the drivers for your graphics card?

he does say Vista, so i guess that is where the problem lies ;) you can view the videos via a media player however only a small number will play it correctly due to the codec and features that the movie files abuse.

Or... y'know, he could just update his drivers. That's what I did.

@Sq2k: I might try updating my drivers, but I think they're updated already. I'll check.

Yeah, that means it couldn't initialise/find/whatever it needs to do for the movies (notice the absence of a clap board at the bottom centre). Yeah, make sure the files are present and you haven't accidently deleted them (they may be on the CD, I can't remember). Try updating your drivers etc.

Oh...

I don't think I've touched, or even know where the animation files are. I'll check anyway.


EDIT: Found the videos (I think), they're safe inside a folder named 'VIDEO' inside 'AUTORUN'. Is this the right one?
EDIT2: Well, I played them in WMP but all the colours are somewhat inverted.
