Pirate

I was wondering.. that do you have to mount the worms image everytime to run the game? If I don´t mount it says "Please insert the Worms Armageddon CD-ROM in the drive. I downloaded the file from ******(SiteRemoved) originally. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Invictus (talkcontribs)

Pirated games are not discussed and documented here. Please buy a copy from Team17's Secure Shop. --Vladimir 10:07, 9 August 2007 (MST)

CD problems

What about adding the question "My background music starts looping small extracts of the music sometimes. What can I do?" with the solution "Your CD seems to be dirty. Try cleaning it." That problems is maybe a bit obvious, but my friend had that and went totally crazy since he is not so good in computers :).—Preceding unsigned comment added by Pac-Man (talkcontribs) 01:08, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

Mentioned already. See this: "The sound stutters in-game". --Explorer09 11:58, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

The color problem

As far as I know, the solution to this problem (killing explorer.exe) works with most paletted games - not just WA and WWP. So, I wrote a batch file here for other games which may have the same problem.

Just save the following code to a batch file named "ColorFix.cmd" and use commands like ColorFix.cmd yourgame.exe to start your game.

EDIT: Here's a faster way: Just drag the game executable to this batch file to start.

@ECHO OFF
IF [%1]==[] (
ECHO This batch file fix the color problems that occurs in most paletted games by terminating the Explorer.exe process.
ECHO Usage: %0 command [parameters]
) ELSE (
taskkill /F /IM explorer.exe
%*
Start explorer.exe
)

Hope this helps. --Explorer09 14:00, 20 October 2009 (UTC) [edited 03:57, 1 February 2010 (UTC)]

Trymedia version

May I suggest adding a question in this FAQ?

Q: I have a Trymedia(Trygames) release of the game

A: Trymedia versions are no longer supported. You can try getting a refund and buying a CD version from Team17 store.

Technically this is covered by the text at the start that says that the FAQ only applies to users of the latest Beta. --Vladimir 01:04, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
