joining a game impossible...

[opiumtest7]

so im trying to join a game... a map loads... and it loads a random map instead of for example a shopper map...

and if the game starts the whole game crashes because of desynchronisation.

v3.6.31.0 installed
wormkit installed...

Wormkit may be a problem is 100% your problem.
Did you start WA via Wormkit or original client?

[CyberShadow]

This can happen if W:A can't create temporary files on your hard drive. Please make sure that the game directory is writable.

[opiumtest7]

well with both clients joining a game is not possible.
but whats the directory called where the game is normally installed then?

and i did try installing an older version of this game and the problem doesnt occur. but then again the color keeps screwing up so nah ah.

It depends on your CD's publisher.

It depends on your CD's publisher.

what publisher? you mean team 17?

[CyberShadow]

No.

The version of W:A on CDs published by MicroProse will be installed to C:\MicroProse\Worms Armageddon, for example.

oh like that...
but anyway i got it now
i simply reinstalled the game in a defferent matter. yet i didnt do that with my own cd just to avoid wasting time. i did that with the overpopular so called ''new edition'' and booted with my own cd and updated it and... it worked...
i can now host AND join...

i feel like i've wasted all of your time now -.-

Not only that.

You also went with the worst possible solution to your problem; a pirate copy of the game that comes with a bunch of garbage pre-installed, can't even be updated, and will likely get you banned from this forum. :confused:

But it CAN be updated, it's just it makes it request the disc which he says he has.
