Worms World Party Windows Vista - Windows 7 Compatibility Fix

[Levo]

Hi there, haven't played any worms for a very long time, though I'd install the classic Worms World Party and give it a go. I use Windows 7 x64, I installed the game according to your instructions, even installed catalyst 8, however, I still get "Worms World Party has stopped working" error.
Can you think of any fix for this error?

I'm sorry, I don't know anything else that you can try. 64bit causes alot of problems.


Thanks for your help mate :)

Though i guess i just have one of those windows 7 x64 operating systems that doesn't want me to play wwp :< Because i've tried to disable the driver by going to the device manager then clicking on the "Beeldschermadapters" (in English Screenadapters (or something :P)) then disabeling the videocard i have, because i think that's what you meant by "disable the driver in Device Manager", rebooted the laptop, then started the game, still it said, after turning my screen black twice, "Worms World Party has stopped working".

Though I haven't tried to instal Catalyst Control Center version 8, because I can't find the download of it, anywhere. I googled it, but then i only get sites where you have to register, and then pay to download it (wich i'm not doing). I also tried the official AMD site (http://ati.amd.com/products/catalystcontrolcenter/index.html) but then it only links me to a site where i can download version 10.3. So it might sound simple to someone with experience :p but for me "Uninstall your current Catalyst driver and install version 8" is quite complex >.<

As I said before, i'm not quite profound with software... And I only have myself to blame for it


Thanks alot for your help though, Levo :) If there is anything you can think of to help me still, then please name it, if not, then i'm gratefull for the help you gave me so far :) Especially because this topic is actually ment to repair blurry colours , and not make the game work... (Tried to find such a topic on the web, no succes though :/)

As soon as I find something new, I'll inform you.

Hi there!

I've install WWP on my Vista comp, with lot of nostalgy... a very good game that I loved!

And damnit, black screen and crash message : wwp.exe has encounter an error and must be close, or something like that.

I've test your compatibility patch, doesn't work for me.

I've tried your manipulation, uninstalling and re-installing game and patch : doesn't work.

So, I've tried copying data forlder from disc to folder, no more results.

Turn wwp.exe into wondows xp sp2 compatibility, and put my screen at 800x600. Failed.

I even tried to install it on a virtual pc with XP. Same problem.

Can anyone here please tell me what is wrong?

Here is my computer dxdiag :

Please help!

Set wwp_game.exe in XP compatibility mode and not wwp.exe. Are you using Windows Vista or Seven? 32bit or 64bit? Which Catalyst version do you have?

[HutDave]

I Have Windows Vista Business, and i have a portable pc.
i tried all the steps of the main post, still problem and error...
Help?

[Yianna]

Thanks for the answer!

I use Vista 32bits, and I have no idea of my Catalyst version...

I've try putting wwp_game.exe in XP compatibility as suggest. It gives me a 80045002 error (or something like that).

When I try to launch it this why after this error, its simply says "wwp.exe cease to run" (I do not how if it's the correct english translation, as I am french).

Thanks for the help!

Hmm.. weird. This has to do with windows. Try this one. Uninstall the fix, set wwp.exe to compatibility mode and then reinstall it.

32bit or 64bit? What kind of error do you have?

[scaptain]

i use vista ultimate 64 bit and ATI HD Radeon 4870 video card,i installed the patch but it didn't work, after i installed Catalyst 9.8 driver (i was using 9.10) it works now and there isn't any problem about colour ,thank you very much!

[scaptain]

I have "Mobile Intel(R) 965 Express Chipset Family" video card and i installed patch but i can't play is it about "Intel Integrated Graphics Accelerator" problem?

Unfortunately no.

[yeckass]

i make a simple batch file. put the game folder this file, and run batch file.

patch.bat :) enjoy it.

Do not download or install any exe fix or service pack. just take this file, run and play ;)

[Yianna]

Hmm.. weird. This has to do with windows. Try this one. Uninstall the fix, set wwp.exe to compatibility mode and then reinstall it.

Always the same problem.

I've also seen that I was on 10.3 catalyst driver. So, I've download and instal 9.8 version. And it doesn't works too!

[pansen666]

Sorry but i have to disargree! I have a Notebook with an Intel GMA4500MHD GPU and Windows 7 Home Edition. Yesterday i´ve installed the newest Intel Driver, Version 8.15.10.2104 . With the Windows 7 Comp. Fix included, i´m able to play WWP :)

[Levo]

Users say Catalyst 8 should work, not 9.8. Try this one. Disable the driver in Device Manager, restart your computer and the game should now also work. Then re-enable the driver and restart.

Let's hope that Intel fixes their driver! Or you may be very lucky!

If anyone else tries it please post if it works or not.

Don't even try it people. It's very similar to the first version of the Compatibility fix. It kills explorer.exe and, as a result, many problem can occur.

[xi rho ix]

i have installed all the patches and when i start the game it doesnt even get to the main screen it just locks up and says there is a problem with it and closes it

Please be more specific. Windows Vista or Seven? 32bit or 64bit? ATI video card or nVidia?

I have just Installed the game and the patch (v1.4) and when I launch the wwp.exe (256 colors, admin rights) it changes display colors (it changes into 256), and then simply return normal, without executing any process (in task manager there isn't any wwp process). My OS is 7 Home Premium 64x, my video card a Nvidia GeForce 9600M GT and my processor is an Intel Core Duo T9600 2.80 GHz. All drivers are up to date.

Good work! cheers! been tryna fix the problem for the past 4-5 hours, finally playable, everything works great! great work on the fix!

[jeromj90]

[perrillo]

Does the game open if you start it without the fix (even with the colour problem)?

Hello I have a desktop Pc with Intel Integrated Graphics Accelerator and windows seven 32 bits... I tried with the fix but doesn't work, please help me
There is nothing I can do, the Intel driver does not support 2d games.

Go to: Control Panel->Device Manager and find your video graphics accelerator. Right click and choose disable. Then restart your computer. When you finish playing just re-enable and restart again.

Thanks,
Cracks are illegal, no I don't have any. If you own the game and you get this message, it happens because you installed the wrong language update. Reinstall the game and and install the correct language.

I read somewhere that this problem will be fixed, but as you can see nothing has happened up to now.



I had exams these days and I didn't have time to answer you. Now I am working on a new version of the fix (1.5) which will allow you to choose between three methods (1.suspending explorer.exe 2.disabling aero (or something like that) 3.killing explorer.exe). Everyone who had problems with the previous versions should definitely try it. It will be ready in a few days. It is written in pure C++, so Net Framework is not needed any more. I hope it will help.
Suggestions are appreciated!

hey!

i ve spent a lot of my time now to get world pary on my samsung notebook with vista working. downloaded the game somewhere, used cracks, some "colorfixes" and this new patch, to download here.

when i m starting the wwp.exe the screen gets black, grey,black, blabla until it says, the game'S not working any more. it shuts down.

what can i do worms fans?

thx

[KRD]

You could buy a copy of WA (https://secure.team17.com/browse.html?area=detail&skuid=79), update it and play that. And above all, not ask a game's official forum to help you with your cracked copy of the game.

Users with ATI cards should update their video drivers, use Catalyst 8 or disable their current driver in Device Manager before running the game.

It's in the instructions. First Post.

Here is my small experience

6 months ago i bought a new computer windows 7 64.
I installed WWP with my game CD.
the game could be launched but i had this strange colour problem.
It was a trauma for me.

Afterwards I came to this thread, discovered the fix, installed it in its version 4 (in just one click: congratulations to the fix maker!!), and everything went ok during months: the colour problem was over;

But some days ago i had this message on my computer (see message enclosed).

Afterwards, the game could not be launched anymore. I had a message on a black screen, saying (in French ;-) 'WWP has stopped working..."

I looked for a logntime but could not find a solution.
therefore i went back to a safety system point at a date of a few days ago, and everything is fine again. I just used my Ninja rope!

I have no idea what was that message for a driver update.
But i can testify that on the same computer, WWP can work, or not work, depending on very small parameters....And WWP definitely works on my Windows 7 64 computer.

thanks

I am using Catalyst 10, but i tried to use Catalyst 8 - this also didn't help.

Any ideas?

I don't know why all these crashes occur under Windows 7, but they have nothing to do with the color problem. Try running the game in safe mode (windows) and check if it works.


I followed all instructions and the game is running normally in menu,but when I start any match I still has the same problem (with colors) Anyone can help?

System specifications please?


I got a problem with my Worms World Party. The game will freezes when a match begun/ end of a match / during the match. When the games freezes, i can't even quit the game, I'll juz hav to restart the whole pc.

What VGA do you use?


Here is my small experience

6 months ago i bought a new computer windows 7 64.
I installed WWP with my game CD.
the game could be launched but i had this strange colour problem.
It was a trauma for me.

Afterwards I came to this thread, discovered the fix, installed it in its version 4 (in just one click: congratulations to the fix maker!!), and everything went ok during months: the colour problem was over;

But some days ago i had this message on my computer (see message enclosed).

Afterwards, the game could not be launched anymore. I had a message on a black screen, saying (in French ;-) 'WWP has stopped working..."

I looked for a logntime but could not find a solution.
therefore i went back to a safety system point at a date of a few days ago, and everything is fine again. I just used my Ninja rope!

I have no idea what was that message for a driver update.
But i can testify that on the same computer, WWP can work, or not work, depending on very small parameters....And WWP definitely works on my Windows 7 64 computer.

Something is going wrong with windows' updates :P


Problems:

-my screen turn to black..
-error message "worm armageddon has siopped working"

i'm using ati hd5470:vram ddr3 1gb
win7, 2gb memory, core i3.

please help me...:(

This thread is for Worms World Party. This fix may work for WA, if you rename WA's main executable to wwp.exe. But you do not mention that you have done that.


Im running on Windows 7 and have an ATI Radeon 4300 graphics card...i hav catalyst version 8 and also tried the windows 7 fix but when it tries the 3 different modes, 1 and 3 it says are not working and 2 has failed..any solutions?? Pls help coz i really wanna play wwp...thnx

Try running the game in safe mode (windows) and check if it works.


sorry, I have a problem! I installed the game and the fix works fine now .. but when I enter the game I hear the sound of the dialogues and the music but not the effects! i hear not the footsteps , I hear not the blast of bombs ! What can I do?

Weird, I haven't heard of such a problem before. I don't know what to suggest, it's probably something with your sound card.


Everything seems to work fine for me, but game simply won't notice I have the disc in my drive. It asks me to insert the disc then start again. Any ideas?

You may have installed wrong SP1 language.


I have Win7 64-bit and when I start up WWP the screen goes black and then says that WWP does no respond. I tried to use the Vista Compatibility Patch v1.5 but nothing changed whith either options

Try running the game in safe mode (windows) and check if it works.


Hi.

I followed the steps and i can't make it work either.

I use Win7 64bit
I have a ATI Radeon HD 5700

I tried installing the 1.4 fix (i can't manage to unrar the 1.5)
I tried installing the latest ATI Catalyst
I tried installing the 8.x ATI Catalyst
I tried disabling my video driver
I tried playing with compatibility options (running it as Windows 2000, running it in 256 colors)

I tried some of the above together, i tried all of the above together, nothing seems to be working!

Thanks for your help ;)

Regards

Download BOTH parts of v1.5, put them in the same folder and try to unrar it again.


hi

at first when i tried to play wwp it'd come up with "wwp has stopped working" so i followed the steps, but now when I try to run it it comes up with "CD not found, insert worms world party and try again" the cd is in there but it still comes up with that, any help?

thanks

You may have installed wrong language of SP1.


Ok, wait so you install part 1 and 2 or just ither one of the pars? :S

Download BOTH parts of v1.5, put them in the same folder and try to unrar it again.


I can't install Catalyst 8 as it doesn't support my HD5850. Any ideas?

Try installing the latest Catalyst driver from AMD/ATI website.


Thanks for the bat file Levo. Now I can play WWP on my laptop. :)

It's not a bat file, it is pure C++ (programming language). It is a native Windows executable.


I just picked up WWP for a cheap price, but I'm having the same problems as the above people are. I am on a Windows 7 64-bit PC with a ATI Radeon HD4650. Catalyst won't install because I am on 64-bit. Got any other fixes?

Try installing the latest version of catalyst, it may work.

Well like others I am running Win 7 Pro 64bit, Crossfire 4870 and a AMD Phenom II x4 3ghz CPU and 8gb of ram and I can not get this fix to work, I spent a small amount on the game so Im not to upset but still would be nice to get it running. I REALLY want to get Worms Armageddon to work that was the best. :)

[BushMonkey]

You may have installed wrong language of SP1.

thanks for the help but when i try the us version is comes up with insert the cd, with the uk version it comes up with not responding even though I've done all the rest

[goleastro]

I have done your full method of installing etc... and on all three tests your fix does, the game doesn't start up, it crashes with the "game not responding error." And when the CMD window comes up it says "accessing configuration file... fail" followed by "ERROR configuration file could not be found" is it supposed to say this?

[Kentsfield]

Hello Levo,

Is there any change in this: The game cannot run on laptops that have an Intel Integrated Graphics Accelerator. The problem is that the driver does not support 2D games. It can only be fixed by Intel. Rumors has it that a new driver will fix the problem soon. situation?

Because, I have this stupid graphics acceleration, is there new driver or something, that I can play on WWP?

Greetz!

[mcoot]

Unfortunately WWP is not working for me either :(

When I open the game (including through the fixer, using any of the methods) my primary screen goes black, my other screen appears to try and adjust its resolution, and I am told that WWP has stopped working.

Compatibility mode also doesn't help.

My specs:
Windows 7 Home Premium x64
Core i7 860 (4x 2.8Gh)
ATI Radeon 5850 (catalyst drivers are in date)

I hope this can be fixed soon.

[Jecalux90]

I have the same problem ("WWP has stopped working") and I have a Core Duo 2.6GHz, Radeon HD4850 1 GB and 2 GB RAM.
And it seems that I can't install the second part of the 1.5 fix: when I try to extract it with 7Zip, it says that the file is corrupted.
Thanks for your help, Levo.

Deleted this piece of crap programming after being disappointed with the new game.

People want to play Worms, and they want to play WWW, so FIX IT. Worms is elite and you CRAP ON IT CONSTANTLY. Simplicity does not equal retardnessness.

Just a few words to say THANKS

we were in LAN. We had that color inversion problem on worms world party.
i spend 1 hour to find a solution which works

I installed the game
then the service pack

and... it's working !

thanks you so much !

[ToonLink]

i'm having some problems with my WWP :(
it worked with the v1.4 patch around two months ago...
i instaled worms reloaded and after that i wanted to play world party... and i now i have problems...
i tried reinstalling v1.4 but nothing happened and i also tried with v1.5.... when options 1 and 3 i get a black screen when i play and with option 2 i see wrong colors...... do u think its because i installed wr?

[kevinrocks]

THIS IS THE WAY I FOUND MUCH SIMPLER.

Create a batch file with this in it

rundll32.exe dwmApi #104
taskkill /f /IM explorer.exe
wwp.exe
explorer.exe
pause

That will work for windows 7, didnt try windows vista though, also works with no-cd for those of you that have lost your cd or scratched it, like i did
if you do the no-cd then you have to figure out the way for that, i cant tell you

[kevinrocks]

I forgot to say put that batch file in your worms directory

Hello My Worms works great i am on Windows 7 i have the pach wwp_USsp1 and also the vista pach wwp_vista_win7_fix_v1.5 but when i try to go and play online it doesent work it gets me the mesage (Your version of WWP is out of date go to ... and download) does anyone know why is that

[cbdunk]

I downloaded both parts of the V1.5 fix. Part 1 extracted fine. Part 2 errors when trying to extract the zip (rar) file. When I install part 1 and play the game, a command prompt window opens and disables explorer.exe. The game then proceeds to play great. When I close the game, the fix goes to its next test which disables the aero. This time the game plays with the inverted colors. when I close the game this time I get an error in the command prompt box (I am assuming because I only have half the fix working due to the inability to get part 2 to extract properly). Does anyone have the part 2 file in a non-corrupt form or know how to stop the test program after the first test?

Thanks

Hi. I've tried to install and play WWP on my new laptop and had the same problems that have been discussed here. I've followed all instructions, uninstalled the fix, THEN the game, then installed, copied DATA and replaced files in the game's directory, installed SP1 and then the fix... and it still doesn't work. It says "Worms World Party has stopped working" and then Windows tries to find a solution for the problem, which it obviously can't.

"Most people" aren't those 20-30 people that are complaining that the fix does not work. There are more than 23000 downloads of the fix (not to mention downloads for v1.0 to v1.3) and people having problems are less than 400 (in total).

Also note this line in your report: "Application Name: wwp_game.exe"
"wwp_game.exe" is the game's executable. The fix's executable is wwp.exe. The game crashes, not the fix. This happens because it is a very badly written executable and cannot run on your computer (OS architecture, vga driver, or whatever).

I have done your full method of installing etc... and on all three tests your fix does, the game doesn't start up, it crashes with the "game not responding error." And when the CMD window comes up it says "accessing configuration file... fail" followed by "ERROR configuration file could not be found" is it supposed to say this?

Unless you save the configuration file at the end, this message will always appear.
OS and specifications please.

It probably has to do with your OS architecture. Read this: http://forum.team17.co.uk/showpost.php?p=732698&postcount=361

During the installation of WR, something must have been installed on your computer. I don't know what it could be. I don't think that uninstalling WR can help.

Hey sorry, maybe someone's already had this question and it's been answered but I can't get wwp to work on my HP laptop (windows vista). I've tried changing the compatibility and downloading various service pack but nothing seems to work.

Without the service packs/patches the screen goes black then grey then black then it says that "worms world party stopped working".

When I intalled the service packs it doesn't even try to start but just says to insert the disk and click okay to continue even though the disk is already in. Any advice? I have a mobile intel(R) 4 series express chipset family video card if that helps.

[reval666]

Intel GMA X3100 integrated graphics video card, does that mean i cant play?

That means you may play ;)

Successful gameplay on different platforms depends mostly on drivers. Try different versions.

really not work for my system with win7 64bit, 3-series radeon video card. tried to play on laptop

I try to run the game, but it just comes up with a black screen and "WWP had stopped working". Any help please?

[Larrain]

I guess you already did, but try rebooting your computer.

I remember using this fix loong ago... On XP... The fix was on 1.3... I had installed WWP that same day after a long time without playing... The fix didn't help, but rebooting did. Stupid me :D

[mafiamob]

Why I can play the Worms Armageddon but I can't play WWP on Win7

[Bradleymee]

ok i cant find a single way to be able to play the game. 1st i try to play and it says the programs stopped working! next i try to install one of the parts to the 1.5 fix and it says error configuration file not found then i try to install part two. and it says the previous fix was removed and so i try it with that part. but it says the configuration file was not found again... I GIVE UP!!! can anyone else provide me with some hope of finding a way to get the game working for windows 7? btw. its the sold out copy of the game

[Bradleymee]

where is the system configuration file that it cant find? if i'm supposed to do something there then you have excluded that step..... details please!! i want to play!!

[RedLock]

Still no solutions for Intel Accelerator?

[PauloM]

Hi, I tryed the solution:
"1) Uninstall the fix and THEN the game
2) Browse to the game's directory and delete all remaining files and folders
3) Install the game
4) Copy the DATA folder from the CD to the game directory (overwriting existing files)
5) Install Service Pack 1 (recommended, but optional)
6) Install the latest Compatibility Fix"

But is always appearing "Worms World Party has stopped working..."
Can you tell me what is my problem?

[Vulpike]

Thank you very much Levo! :D 1.5 works for me (Win7 64bit Home edition)
Guys make sure you follow the instructions closely, i found out my problem was that i was doing one thing wrong, and after correcting it worked!

[seeku]

Hey i need help!!! I followed the instructions
and it still says 'worms world party' has stopped working'
First i reinstalled the game completely
then i copied the CD contents to the game's directory
(copy and replaced the several items)
next i installed the fix v1.5 to the game's directory
and when i attempt to play the game
all methods will run but not a single one of them works
What do i do??????????????????????????

[Lex]

Install WA. It is purchaseable from Mastertronic (former Sold Out Software) (http://www.mastertronic.com/productSoldOut.asp?pid=267&productLabelID=1) or Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/Worms-2-Armageddon-Pc/dp/B000E23XNA). With its latest official update, it works with all Windows versions and has all the features WWP has and more, plus a far more active community.

NEW! Worms World Party Windows Vista - Windows 7 Compatibility Fix v1.5
by Levo

Notes
=============
The WWP Windows Vista - Windows 7 Compatibility Fix is for those who want the game under Windows Vista
or Windows 7. Please make a clean installation of Worms World Party, or remove any other fixes you may
have previously installed, otherwise it may not work. It is unofficial, but is working fine. It comes
with no warranty. Installing SP1 is recommended. You may have to run it with Administartor Rights.
It is recommended to update to this version (1.5).
The game cannot run on laptops that have an Intel Integrated Graphics Accelerator. The problem is that the driver does not support 2D games. It can only be fixed by Intel. Rumors has it that a new driver will fix the problem soon.
Users with ATI cards should update their video drivers, use Catalyst 8 or disable their current driver in Device Manager before running the game.

If you get a "Worms World Party has stopped working..." error, try these steps:
1) Uninstall the fix and THEN the game
2) Browse to the game's directory and delete all remaining files and folders
3) Install the game
4) Copy the DATA folder from the CD to the game directory (overwriting existing files)
5) Install Service Pack 1 (http://wwp.team17.com/main.html?page=comm&area=_down_patc) (recommended, but optional)
6) Install the latest Compatibility Fix

Installation
=============
Run the installer (wwp_vista_win7_fix_v1.5.exe) and follow the instructions.
To uninstall find "WWP_Vista_Win7_Fix_Uninstall.exe" in the game's directory.

Change log
=============
v1.0
- Initial Release

v1.1
- Now it disables Aero and then re-enables it, instead of removing explorer.exe from memory
- Uninstaller added

v1.2
- Completely re-written in Visual C# 2005 (fixes the antivirus problem caused by the batch to exe converter)

v1.3
- Support for Windows 7
- Now it suspends explorer.exe while the game is running

v1.4
- A few bug fixes
- Added console/log window

v1.5
- Completely re-written in C++ (Net Framework is not needed anymore)
- Three methods of running the game are now available: Suspend explorer.exe, Disable Aero Effects, Kill explorer.exe
- Test mode, tests every method one by one, so you can choose which works best.


Comments for v1.5 start here (http://forum.team17.co.uk/showthread.php?p=721323#post721323).

Also note that the fix is splitted in two parts, "wwp_vista_win7_fix_v1.5.part1.rar" and "wwp_vista_win7_fix_v1.5.part2.rar". This is because of this site's restriction to upload files lower than 100kb.


PLEASE READ CAREFULLY!
I've seen a lot of people getting confused with the installation of version 1.5.
The fix is a SINGLE installer, compressed and split in two parts.
When you download a compressed file, you just right-click on it and click extract, right? (or you double-click it and select where to extract it)
Now you need to do exactly the same thing, but NOT for both parts.
Download the two files (wwp_vista_win7_fix_v1.5.part1.rar, wwp_vista_win7_fix_v1.5.part2.rar) and save them in the SAME folder. Then extract ONLY THE FIRST one. Ignore part 2, it will be automatically extracted.

akshay822, you should be running the game using wwp.exe, not wwp_game.exe. I'm not sure what that executable is, but it's not the right one.

Also, see my post above yours.

The game still crashes.

Why I can play W:A with Intel 965 but cant play WWP?
W:A is 2D like WWP!

[Lex]

Worms Armageddon was last updated on 2010-11-16. Worms World Party was last updated on 2001-05-30. If you consider the advancements in Windows operating systems and graphical drivers since then, you will understand that recency plays a major role in compatibility.

Perhaps it's time you decided that you should just stick with (http://worms2d.info/WA_vs_WWP) WA. (http://wormtube.worms2d.info/81/wa_beta_showdown)

[emuXzone]

Thanks for the compatibility fix Levo, now I can play the game again :cool:

with 1.5 patch still didnt work for me in windows 7..:(

i used ASUS 1015PED netbook.. it plays well in windows XP mode.. however still it is quite a burden to switch to windows XP since i had to change the drive setting from AHCI to IDE in BIOS if i want to use the XP.. and back to windows 7 if i want to work..

NEW! Worms World Party Windows Vista - Windows 7 Compatibility Fix v1.5
by Levo

Notes
=============
The WWP Windows Vista - Windows 7 Compatibility Fix is for those who want the game under Windows Vista
or Windows 7. Please make a clean installation of Worms World Party, or remove any other fixes you may
have previously installed, otherwise it may not work. It is unofficial, but is working fine. It comes
with no warranty. Installing SP1 is recommended. You may have to run it with Administartor Rights.
It is recommended to update to this version (1.5).
The game cannot run on laptops that have an Intel Integrated Graphics Accelerator. The problem is that the driver does not support 2D games. It can only be fixed by Intel. Rumors has it that a new driver will fix the problem soon.
Users with ATI cards should update their video drivers, use Catalyst 8 or disable their current driver in Device Manager before running the game.

If you get a "Worms World Party has stopped working..." error, try these steps:

*** PLEASE DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL THE LATEST VERSION (1.5) ***

This fix works for the game, but when I exit the game and open some other files on my computer (e.g. Adobe files, pictures and other media files) the colours on my screen all become inverted (as in the game before this fix). How can I stop this? It is really annoying when I open a video file and all colours are messed up...

Thanks

[tv8888]

When i try to download v1.5 part 1 or part 2 i get an error message saying this:
This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. please install a program or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Programs control panel.
Btw WWP works perfectly on my brothers laptop without installing a single fix or update and thats windows vista.
I'm on Windows 7 with a ATI Radeon HD 3400 Series Graphics Card.

[Bomber678]

Still not working for me either. I have the same problem as a lot of people a while back in the thread.
When Levo posted that link about your operating system, is it just me, or did that link back to the post that it was in? Cause it's not working, and I really, really, really, really want to play WWP, but I'm getting pretty jack of this...
Worms was one of my favourite games, now I can't play at all.

Windows 7, 64x, just like everyone else.
Damn well fix it already! We all want it!

[StepS]

it plays well in windows XP mode.. however still it is quite a burden to switch to windows XP since i had to change the drive setting from AHCI to IDE in BIOS if i want to use the XP.. and back to windows 7 if i want to work..

Yep, totally the same here, have to boot xp with that mode (or to use the VMware, but it's painful to rope). Except I have a laptop with Intel integrated card. But! I wonder why does it work in Windows XP, and not in Windows7/Vista? Do the XP drivers have the "2D games support"? It looks a bit weird, isn't it?

[Player701]

Hi there. I have a Windows 7 64-bit laptop with both integrated (Intel HD graphics) and separate video adapters (NVIDIA GeForce GT 540M) - ASUS N53SV. I tried running the game with both of them, and your fix works for me, but only partially. It fixes the colors in game menus, but when I start a mission, I see a black background and some terrain objects, with messed up colors.

Any way to fix this? Tried setting and unsetting compatibility mode and 256 color mode, it didn't affect anything. BTW, sorry for bad English if any.

Thanks, Player701

P.S. Anyone knows why can't I edit my profile options in user CP?

[seiya]

[Player701]

OK, I was able to resolve the issue mentioned in my previous post by closing all the other programs and restarting the fix. It worked (method 1). But now another problem appeared: each time I start the fix, it says "Unknown OS. The game may not work properly". How can I remove this message?

[Register3D]

I am running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit and ye as mentioned above all the tests the fix were making did not work so is there a catch somewhere that i missed?

[PR1VAC]

All methods didnt work.
Also Catalyst 8 did not work
I run on windows 7.
goddamnit.
Spend so much time in this -.-
30000 times of overdoing that fix.
Still not work.
halp?

[Bikoum]

Hi,

The fix doesn't seem to be working, the three methods failed and i still get the "WWP has stopped working" error.

I tried to change the compatibility settings but nothing seems to do it.

I run Win 7 32bit, I have a HD Radeon HD 5700 with ATI Catalyst 8.

Thanks for your help!

[Mr. X]

I'm getting a new computer with Windows 7, thank goodness for this. Now I can still play one of my all time favourite PC games!

[markor91]

First thank you for helping to fix this problem
i have Toshiba l655-1hc ,core i5,4GB RAM,ATI Radeon HD 5650 , WIN 7
i installed the game then i installed SP1 ..
i tried your fixer 1.5 .. this time it didn't even start .. it shows a MessageBox
"Please insert the Worms World Party CD into your CD-ROM drive before starting the game"
and i dont have that cd because i downloaded the game from torrent which is a zip file
what should i do ??

[AndrewTaylor]

I would suggest you buy a CD.

You may want to consider buying Armageddon instead, though.

Either way, basically what you're doing here is stealing someone's radio then phoning them up to ask how to change the presets.

Hi, I Was Thinking About XP Mode For Windows 7. This Mode Run A Virtual XP On Seven. If We Install The WWP In That XP Will Works? Mmm... I Will Try! :) And Then I Tell You The Results :P

[Dark Cloud]

I can't seem to get worms world party to start after installing sp1 because it tells me to insert the right disc and I do have the right disc inserted. I wasn't able to get worms world party to work before the sp1 so i'm just trying to get it to work in win7 64 bit but I know it is a long shot.

[martin_pl]

Hello!

I would like to sum my battle with WWP and WA on Win 7 & Intel integrated graphic card. Any suggested patch did not help in my case - IMHO because of Intel graphics. So I started with different virtual machines. I started with VMware Workstation v7.1.2.301548 and emulated Windows XP Sp3 Enterprise, unfortunately there where some graphics artifacts, game-play was not possible. I tried also Win 98 SE with VMware but with no success. Next I tried with MS Virtual PC 2007 SP1 with WIN XP SP3, graphic in game was OK, but only in small window mode, switching to full-screen cause black screen with no graphics at all, what is more the speed of the game was incorrect (everything was too fast).

Finally - the solution in my case:
VirtualBox-4.1.2-73507 with the same emulated system (WIN XP).
Simple installation from WWP iso, then apply a patch (wwp_EUsp1_UK.exe) and game working in 1024x768 with full sound and optimal speed. One minor problem is you have to switch on and off mouse pointer integration when you are switching between the game and the menu (in my case), but this is piece of cake IMHO.

What is more WA also run very nice on VirtualBox, but without newest patch. So I install the game, then WA_Update-3.0.5.0_Beta_2.exe and the game is working now. With next update: WA_update-3.6.31.0_Beta_Installer.exe and GfxUpdate-3.6.28.0.exe I had a problem as follow: game has started, menu was OK but if I started the battle, screen turned black and the virtual machine stopped working.

I hope the post will be useful for someone.
Greetings
Martin

P.s.
My computer spec:

Why would you even copy the DATA folder from the disc?
That's why it doesn't work...

Probably because he's using a NoCD crack

Hi guys,

I got WWP from ebay but I don't get it working.

I tried it with my pc (Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit SP1, ATI Radeon 4890, Catalyst 11.9) and with my Netbook (Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit SP1, ATI Radeon 6300, Catalyst 11.9) but without luck.

In almost all forum threads I read about where people got wwp running on Windows 7 x64 they're using nVidia graphic cards, so I think the compatibility fix or the game do not like ATI cards.

I tried the Windows XP Mode, too. But also without luck.

Can anyone help me?

Greets hompen

[Phantom]

Did you update it?

[psylone]

Hi all,

Thanks for the work on this fix,
Unfortunately that doesn't work for me either.

Kinda like hompen, I have an ATI Radeon card on my laptop (the HD4570) and Win7. I installed the last Catalyst driver, I have an ISO file of my original CD (which I lost...)

Neither of the 3 tests work, each time the game is launched I have a "memory could not be read" error at address 0x004fca43 or something like that...

Is it really because of my graphic card ?!
Not sure...
Any idea would be appreciated ;-)

Thanks

[Phantom]

It's usually problem at game's end when the memory couldn't be read.

[psylone]

At game's end ?
No, no, it's at the very beginning, I don't even get to see the team17 logo !

Anyway, I managed to get it work on my girlfriend's laptop which has an Intel graphic card (maybe just a chipset, not sure about that, but it's not an "intel graphics accelerator"), and without the fix, just a .bat as the main executable, to fix the color inversion problem.

Thanks anyway :-)

[Phantom]

at game's end ?
No, no, it's at the very beginning, i don't even get to see the team17 logo !

I LOL'D SO HARD xD

[StepS]

At game's end ?
No, no, it's at the very beginning, I don't even get to see the team17 logo !I LOL'D SO HARD xD

http://forum.team17.co.uk/images/newsmilies/eek.gif

Well, wouldn't it be better to say "at the game's side"? :D

[Phantom]

He could've still gotten it.

[hompen]

Did you update it?

Yes, WWP Europe SP1, but also no luck without the update.

[JemFX]

Hi, i just wanted to play wwp again on my windows 7 computer. installed the game, then this compatibility fix. in two of the cases it started in correct colours but never showed the colours properly while playing the game. it is only a black screen while you can see the worms hanging in midair. what can i do?
thanks.

[hompen]

After some tests with VMs running Win XP (extrem mouse lags and distorted font), I gave up to get WWP running with Windows 7 and Catalyst 11.9.

So I set up my Notebook with Ubuntu 11.10 and Wine 1.2.
And what should I say, running fine :) simply following the instructions at the Wine HQ.

[arash]

Hi. When I click on wwp.exe I see a console window that these texts appear on it:
Unknown OS. The game may not work properly.
Do you want to continue? (Y/N)
I Enter Y, but then in this window these texts will appear:
Searching for game executable... Failed.

ERROR: wwwp_game.exe cannot be found.

What can I do with this Problem? Please Help Me... Thanks

[Pac-Man]

The amount of useless "fixes" of this "patch" is too damn high!

[OddFlame]

I'd just like to pop in and add that I also cannot get WWP to work. I've tried everything from compatibility modes to killing explorer.exe, I've followed all the instructions, etc. I've done everything I can think of, but the game simply will not work. I always receive a "Worms World Party has stopped working" message before the game even starts.

It would be so great if this game got the same treatment as Worms Armageddon, but that's just wishful thinking, I guess.

My specs anyway, if it helps:

Win7 x64
Athlon X2 Dual Core
ATI Radeon HD4870 1GB

[Pac-Man]

That's exactly the same problem I have. Black screen and error box "stopped working" on top of it.
I don't think it will be useful that WWP gets the SAME treatment as W:A since it's so outdated. But at least a startup fix to get it to work again would be nice.
Speaking of which, noone reverse engineered this problem till yet?

[osterich14]

Same here, getting windows error when I attempt to run it despite installing the fix and service pack...

Windows 64 bit.

[dmitrygr]

win7x64sp1
intel i5 graphics (PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_0126) on a lenevo x220 laptop
no patches
game just works :)

[Vynuxys]

Didn't work for me either T_T I don't know why. It starts up and does three tasks, disabling stuff etc and asks if the game works, but it doesn't, I still get the can't work properly error. I did everything the instructions said to, I don't know what's wrong D: I'm running Windows 7 64bit.

[Boggybee]

keep getting suspend.dll is missing :(

[ammo]

So far this fix is working great, thank you so much!!
I much prefer the Worms World Party interface to the new Worms Reloaded one.

[dowe666]

sry, double post..

[dowe666]

guys that are having problems with Radeons graphics should try downgrade to 9.8 drivers (catalyst control center + display driver)

you can find it here: http://support.amd.com/us/Pages/AMDSupportHub.aspx
(choose 64 or 32 version that suits ur OS)

- firstly uninstall current drivers (i did in device manager)
- restart PC
- install 9.8 (if installing package fails at some point try to install display driver again from device manager)
- run wwp (worked after clean install for me)


if you don't wanna downgrade your drivers you can use virtualbox and run wwp on xp as well.

Hi,

I have a HP Pavilion laptop with an ATI mobility radeon HD 4530 series gphx card and a AMD turion X2 dual-core mobile RM-74 processor.
Im running windows vista 32 bit as OS.
I can launch WWP without any problems with the fix, but when i try to start a game i dont get the exploding cake.
Instead i get a pink screen with a black box, after that my screen turns completely black.
Only thing that works at this moment is my in game sound.
I've seen a couple of people with this problem on this forum, tho no real solutions have been mentioned.

Regards

Try to disable the browsers (such as IE, firefox, chrome, etc.), they are the most common issue. And try closing other programs as well, if this didn't help.

Hi all, there are my experience, I normally installed wwp on pc ( athlon x2 64 , 2GB ram, atix1950pro, soundblaster audigi se) with win 7 64bit professional, ccc 10.2, colors were messed up, but fix 1.5 solved problem.

I tried install wwp on my notebook (lenovo e320, i5, amd hd6630) with same os, but when I launched, black screen and error box "stopped working" on top of it. I tried all compatibility modes, none worked. I tried win xp sp3 in virtual box (firend told me, xp mode doesn't solved problem even with age of ampires 2, so I didn't tried that), but same black screen and error box "stopped working" in xp too.

Anybody some suggestions?

Edit: with intel graphic in cpu wwp (with patch) is working, but it's not so smooth (in battery saving mode) like on asus eee with atom (but win xp).

Hello everyone,

I'm using a 64 bit Windows 7 laptop, and when I installed worms first (with Windows 7 fix) it worked perfectly. Then, after a few games, it crashed (screen turned black, sound was still working and it could only quit it by pressing ctrl + alt + delete, followed by a ''Worms has stop working'' error.) From that point the same keeps happening every time I want to start a game, menu and start screen works fine.

Now I have tried to uninstal worms, the fix and deleting all the files. Then installed a fresh copy of both the game and the fix. But nothing changed.

It's weird because I didn't change anything to the files (besides the windows 7 fix) and it suddenly went from working to not working, even with a fresh instal.

Any help would be appreciated.

No, I changed nothing. Not on purpose at least.
But it's already fixed. I got Worms Armageddon instead and that one runs smoothly.

[StepS]

A new ultimate solution to colour, palette and black screen problems! :D
DirectDrawFix (http://www.xomicron.com/download/directdrawfix/) by xOmicron
Just choose the EXE of the game that needs to be fixed (wwp.exe in our case) and apply. You're done!:D
No need to turn off explorer/aero/etc or use any fixes at all anymore! Don't forget to remove all other fixes after this to prevent additional problems.

[Gabberarmy]

Hey!

Did this work for anyone on x64 Systems?
For me it didnt work, just on 32 bit Windows Seven, but there it worked for me
without a fix too.
Worms Mayhem doesnt work on x64 either for me.

you mean the DirectDrawFix or the fix from this thread?
DirectDrawFix works for both 32-bit and 64-bit, but ensure to remove all other fixes so it works properly.

"Worms World Party has stopped working" error

sorry, none of the fixes in the thread will help from the crash. They only fix palette.:(
However I know a partial solution to run wwp on these PCs (with a bit of glitchy windowed mode), but it will still crash when starting the match
Did you try updating graphics drivers? I was having exactly the same problem and in one good day it magically gone :o

PS: and indeed, the fix in this thread isn't more than a color fix, so the title should be "palette fix" rather than "compatibility fix"...

Hello, I have World Party Sold Out Edition, I tried the latest fix on Windows 7 64bit but it doesn't work. Can anyone help? :(

It crashes with app stop error? then there's no way to fix it, except updating drivers (which helps only depending on the graphics card; for me it helped).

All the "fixes" are only for colour problems. None of them will prevent the game from crashing!!!

Hello.
Trying to run WWP on 64bit Win7, with a real graphics card.

With no fixes, I get menu in full colour, and game with black background / terrain (making terrain invisible) and dodgey coloured worms and UI.

With the directdrawfix, I get menu in full colour, and nothing but a blank black screen during the game - though sound is fine.

With the three-methods fixer, suspending or killing explorer has no effect other than the normal. Disabling aero gets me the menu in incorrect colours, and the game displays perfectly though again with dodgey colours - terrain and background is entirely visible.

I made sure to try both with a fresh install.
What should I do?

Are you running browsers? (Internet explorer, chrome, firefox)? If so, close them. They are common WWP palette stealers. Also skype, but there can be a lot of others

Hey guys,
So I ran the test mode, had colour for the first time (WOOHOO!) in mode_2, so afterwards set it to mode 2. But it hasn't worked since that! (argh!) I tried to uninstall, reinstall the fix, but it saved the mode_2 regardless. How do I go back to test mode? Any other ideas?

If you actually have the CD version of the game already, you may have used the wrong language patch when updating.

Make sure you follow the instructions here precisely: http://wwp.team17.com/main.html?page=comm&area=_down_patc

Simply suspending explorer, did the trick for Win 7 x64

I used:
pssuspend.exe from

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897540.aspx

and made a simple batch called wwp.bat
@shift
@echo off
pssuspend.exe explorer.exe
call wwp.exe
pssuspend.exe -r explorer.exe
exit
thats it, put both, pssuspend.exe and wwp.bat on wwp dir and run from the bat.

No more weird colors

You mister are my HERO. :D

Why are you asking it for the third time already? You first install the game and update, and only then apply fixes.

If it didn't work for you, see this:

I have a Core2Duo plus an ATI 4650 HD, and the system i have running on it is Win7 Ultimate 32bits SP1. I used to make WWP work so nice on XP, but since I tried 7, could never make it work again, neither by fixes and compatibility issues mods, nor even in an XP Virtual Computer, and I'm literally out of ideas. I can play Worms Reloaded but -let's face it - is not as good and cute as the good old WWP, and only for ONE GAME I cannot change the whole OS (not cheap, btw).

Is there another way (no problem if it's hard to put up with) to make it work here? Where is the key problem here? Are the DirectX libraries getting in the middle of me and thousands of worm corpses laying around a cheese battlefield? I can try (and share) a solution, if I know where to start looking for it.

Thanks in advance for your time!! And for this awesome game!!

[MitchMonti]

For some reason the v1.5 pt 1 rar is corrupt. is there any way to fix this? :-/

[sandurios]

I have an intel chip, can be installed?

[Serious]

To every one who gets just a black screen on startup - SWITH VIDEO CARD to INTEL GMA

Most new Laptops and PC have internal Video cards made by Intel.

If you have a Core i5 and up Processors you do have Intel Card to make WWP work - it is built in your processor.
