Game crashes when starting a game

[bishman82]

I found my old WA disk today and decided to get the new patch and play the game, set my screen res to 1680x1050 and it crashed, tried other resolutions and the same thing happens.

Using XP and all drivers are currently up to date and everything is running smoothly. Got this from the error log:

WA caused an Access Violation (0xc0000005)
in module WA.exe at 001b:005a5d85.

Exception handler called in ExceptionAttacher.cpp - AfxWinMain.

compress (winzip) the complete errorlog and attach it to your post.

i have the same problem with vista. See the error log.

gratteman: Your problem is completely different. Do you have an Intel graphics chipset?

I did have an errorlog.txt but it got deleted when i reinstalled the game, now i can't get one! Game just quits to desktop with no error, damn this is frustrating!

I'll try and get one asap.

Just got it to work once after cleaning the disk but it's still having trouble reading it and takes ages to load each map, is there any way i can play the game without the disk being present each time?

Yes. http://worms2d.info/Running_WA_without_the_CD

Thanks, got an image made with daemon tools. It's a miracle it worked because the disk has so many scratches on it (it's 9 years old) :eek:

most cd burning software attempts to read dodge parts of the disc multiple times where as general programs/games just try once then fail.
