I'm having problem too, getting Worms Armageddon to play on Windows Vista. I don't have an Intel card. Actually the game runs fine until I actually begin a mission or an actual match. Then it goes to a blank screen. The menus work fine.

Anyone know what the deal is?

WA works fine here, both SP0 and SP1. Sometimes get pallete locking, but thats a common problem.

Please make sure you are using the very latest beta update.

Try ctrl+alt+del, click Task Manager

Switch tasks to another task (such as Explorer), then switch back to worms, see if that fixes it.

Are you using the latest beta update?

Worms Armageddon version 3.5 and up. Current its 3.6.28. You can check your version by putting your mouse above the WA logo on the main menu, and it will say it at the bottom.

If you dont have it, get it from http://wa.team17.com, click Update at the bottom.

Well, I also have Vista SP1.

I have the lastest update. The game doesn't crash anymore, and I can get onto WormkNet now as well.


My major malfunction is that the palette is all screwed up.
I've tried minimizing and also using the task manager. Doesn't work.

The palette is scrambled as soon as the program runs, in the menus, in-game, all the time.

Any advice?

Run with the game's folder open.

Set the compatability of wa.exe to Turn off Desktop Composition and Disable Visual Themes.
