When I start the game I have color bugs. But that can be fixed if I close the explorer.exe.

I can go into the menus and choose teams and shemes. But when I press Start Game the game crashes without any reason. It doesnt say anything. It dont load just crash.

EDIT: I've installed the latest updates. The WA patch and the Beta.

You don't need to install the Patch, just the Beta Update. The Beta Update installer will automatically install the patch if necessary. It may not have been necessary in your case to install the official patch. You may have screwed up your game installation by doing that. You will need to reinstall Worms: Armageddon and install just the Beta Update.

I'll try that and then edit this post.

OK, the beta update downloaded the WApatch so it looks like it doesnt matter.
It still doesnt work.

Look in your W:A directory (the folder you installed W:A into). You should find a file called "ERRORLOG.txt." Post the whole file here as an attachment to your post.

Are you trying to play an offline game or an online game?

(Or, did WA crash in both cases?)

Please install WormKit (http://worms.thecybershadow.net/wormkit/) and the following WormKit module: 30805
Run the game via WormKit.exe and reproduce the crash. You should get an error message mentioning ERRORLOG.TXT. Find the file CRASH.DMP in your W:A folder, and post it here as an attachment.

Thanks for trying to help me. But since my computer had other problems too I decided to install Windows XP once again.

And now I have Windows XP and everything is working:)

I was to fast to make that final statement.

If fact Worms works great in 640x480 but if I increase the res to 800x600 or higher it makes my monitor go black and it's powerbuttom to flash and then die.

Hi!

Same problem here, I shut down the explorer.exe then the colors become good, but if I start a match, then the game quit. I created an error log as CyberShadow said.

Here is the attachment which contains the errorlog.txt and the crash.dmp:

Buy the game.

This message also goes out to anyone who has Worms Armageddon - New Edition. This is an unsupported, illegal version of the game that has one of the Beta patches installed on it and will most likely not work at all on any modern OS.

Buy the game, install the 3.6.29.0 patch and everything will work okay, provided you use WormKit and the wkColorFix plugin in order to solve the color problems.
