Cannot edit or create teams in Windows 7 x64

[Günther]

Hi!

Owned WA since '99 and now I decided I should finally complete the campaign.

However, my excitement was short lived due to the fact that the game crashes every time I try to create a new team. Quick match is the only way I can play the game as it assigns me a random premade team. This sucks :(

Also, could you please add some kind of zoom feature in the next patch as the worms look absolutely tiny on 1680 x 1050.

WA caused an Access Violation (0xc0000005)

Could you post the entire error log as an attachment?

Me and my old mates just dusted off this old classic, but we encounter the same problem as Gunther here.

Finally got the game to start ( after much frustation ) and when we start to create a team, the game crashes with the errorlog msg. There is a msg ingame also but it disappers to quicky for me to read it.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Weird, cause I'm running on Win7 64 too and have no problems at all (all at default WA settings and NO Win compatibility modes), at least no problems related to Win7 only.

Try to clean Your OS (or reformat) with updating all of Your drivers, DirectX and Apps. 90% of users is installing useless stuff and trash, and forgetting about cleaning and updating.

For me Win7 problems with the latest version of WA is a myth coming from users' mistakes, that's all.

Just wanted to say thanks for this helpful thread. I recently got the CD in the mail, all excited to play, and ran into these problems. But you guys had the answers... thanks!
