| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | == Instalación de WA ==
| + | |
| − | ==== No puedo instalar Worms Armageddon. La pantalla de instalación desaparece, y nada más funciona. ====
| + | |
| − | Esto ha podido resolverse desactivando DMA (Direct Memory Access). Para desactivar DMA,
| + | |
| − | # Menú Inicio → Panel de Control → Sistema
| + | |
| − | # Clic en la pestaña Hardware, luego en Administrador de dispositivos
| + | |
| − | # Expande la sub-lista the Dispositivos de sistema
| + | |
| − | # Doble clic en "Controladora de acceso directo a memoria"
| + | |
| − | # Elige "deshabilitar" en la lista desplegable de Uso del dispositivo
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==== La instalación se congela al 100%, y el juego no logra instalarse cuando la cierro. ====
| + | |
| − | Sigue esperando, la instalación se completará eventualmente tras algunos minutos. Se desconoce la causa de este problema.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==== Hay otros problemas al instalar el juego ====
| + | |
| − | [[User:madewokherd|madewokherd]] es el autor de un [[Automatic Installer|instalador alternativo]] (en inglés) para el W:A que permite instalar el juego en sistemas operativos de Windows de 64-bits, entre otros.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | == Parcheado o actualización de WA ==
| + | |
| − | ==== Al instalar el parche 3.0, sale el error "No se pudo encontrar la ruta de instalación" o similar ("Failed to find installation path") ====
| + | |
| − | Esto se debe a entradas del Registro faltantes que son creadas por el instalador de WA. Se puede resolver volviendo a instalar, o editando el registro de esta manera:
| + | |
| − | # Menú Inicio → Ejecutar → regedit
| + | |
| − | # Dirigirse a "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Team17SoftwareLTD\WormsArmageddon\"
| + | |
| − | # Doble-clic en el valor PATH, asegurarse que la ubicación del directorio de instalación sea la correcta
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==== Me sale un error "Mala integridad" ("Bad Integrity") al intentar ejecutar el archivo del Parche o de Actualización ====
| + | |
| − | El archivo está corrupto. Intenta borrarlo y descargarlo nuevamente.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | == Abriendo WA ==
| + | |
| − | ==== "C:\Windows\System32\Autoexec.nt El archivo de sistema no es apropiado para ejecutar aplicaciones MS-DOS y Microsoft Windows. Elija "Cerrar" para finalizar la aplicación...." ====
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Este archivo tiene la mala costumbre de corromperse a sí mismo, por lo que Microsoft ha proporcionado una copia de seguridad para tales ocasiones. Simplemente copia el archivo "Autoexec.nt" que se encuentra en '''"C:\Windows\Repair"''' a '''"C:\Windows\System32"'''. Si tu Windows se encuentra instalado en una ubicación diferente, sustituye C:\Windows con esa ubicación.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Si eso no lo soluciona, lee [http://support.microsoft.com/kb/324767/ el artículo Q324767] del soporte de Microsoft.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==== Me sale un error "Sin CD" ("No CD") ====
| + | |
| − | Posiblemente has intentado parchear WA cuando no hacía falta. Desinstala el juego e intenta instalarlo sólo usando [[Beta updates (Worms Armageddon)|la actualización Beta]].
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==== "No se encontró ltkrn10n.dll" ("ltkrn10n.dll was not found") ====
| + | |
| − | Has intentado instalar un parche Beta desactualizado sobre una versión no parcheada del juego. Descarga e instala la [http://wa.team17.com/main.html?page=supp&area=upda&file=15 última actualización Beta].
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==== Al intentar abrir el juego, el asistente de instalación de Sold Out insiste en que instale la actualización, aún cuando ya lo he hecho ====
| + | |
| − | Ignora ese mensaje.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==== "El programa especificado requiere una versión de Windows más reciente." ó "El programa WA.exe requiere una versión de Windows más reciente. Actualice su versión de Windows. " ====
| + | |
| − | En 3.6.29.0 se perdió la compatibilidad del juego con Windows 98/ME. Este problema será solucionado en la próxima actualización. De momento, regresa a la actualización [[Beta updates|3.6.28.0]].
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Este problema fue causado por el compilador de Visual Studio 2008, el cual ya no generará binarios compatibles con Windows 98 y ME. Todas las versiones 3.x futuras serán compiladas con Visual Studio 2005.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==== "Graphics subsystem error - Unable to set desired video mode" ====
| + | |
| − | Tu tarjeta de vídeo o los controladores de vídeo no soportan el modo de vídeo requerido por W:A. Si estás usando Windows Vista en una computadora portátil con un conjunto de chips Intel, se trata de un problema conocido - Intel ha decidido no soportar viejos juegos tales como Worms Armageddon para sus controladores de Vista. La única solución alternativa es [[Emulating Worms Armageddon|emular el W:A]].
| + | |
| − | De no ser ése el caso, intenta actualizando los controladores de vídeo.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==== Me sale una pantalla negra cuando intento abrir WA, luego se cae al escritorio o me veo obligado a reiniciar el PC ====
| + | |
| − | Una solución conocida para este problema es desactivar las pantallas de introducción al juego. Para hacer esto, clic derecho sobre el ícono de acceso directo a WA, elige Propiedades, y en el recuadro de texto "Destino" escribe "'''/nointro'''" al final de la línea.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Para que eso funcione, tiene que ser escrito fuera de las comillas. Por ejemplo,
| + | |
| − | "C:\Worms Armageddon\wa.exe" /nointro
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | == Front-end problems ==
| + | |
| − | ==== I can't see the bottom or right side of the screen in the front end ====
| + | |
| − | Your font sizes are set to a large value. W:A does not support non-standard font sizes. Open the '''Display Properties''' Control Panel applet, click '''Advanced...''' on the '''Settings''' tab and set font sizes to '''Normal size (96 DPI)'''.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==== The frontend and menu system suffers flickiness, lacks background sound, messed up animations, or unusually slow/fast animations ====
| + | |
| − | Locate your WA directory and open the '''Tweak''' folder, then double-click the file '''"SlowFrontEndWorkAround_On.reg"'''. If this doesn't solve the problem, do the same with '''"SlowFrontEndWorkAround_Off.reg"'''. If this still doesn't work, do the same with '''"SlowFrontEndWorkAround_AntiFlicker.reg"'''. If none of these work, your video card is too modern. These problems will be fixed in a future update. [http://forum.team17.com/showthread.php?t=24821 See this] thread for more details.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==== The game uses all CPU in the front-end (menus) ====
| + | |
| − | See the solution in the previous question. Note that it might not be possible to achieve good visuals and low CPU usage at the same time.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==== When returning from a game, I get a black screen with some white areas ====
| + | |
| − | This is a problem with DirectX for which a workaround has not yet been found. For some reason, the colour palette is set to two colours (black and white). To restore the colour palette, minimize by clicking at the bottom of the screen or pressing Shift+Escape, then restore the game.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==== WA crashes or minimizes when I try to edit the map, or edit or create a team ====
| + | |
| − | This is caused by having a program with an "Always On Top" feature. MSN Messenger is a common culprit. Try closing other programs, or finding this setting and disabling it.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==== WA crashes when I try to edit a map ====
| + | |
| − | This problem is considered to be caused by a change in the behavior of graphic drivers and/or DirectX. The next Beta update will include a workaround. In the meantime, try updating your video drivers.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==== WA crashes when I try to edit or create a team on Windows Vista ====
| + | |
| − | If you enabled any compatibility options for W:A, disable them. The crash is caused by [http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/ShowPost.aspx?siteid=1&postid=3967411 a problem in Windows Vista's compatibility layer].
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==== WA crashes when I minimise and then try to maximise ====
| + | |
| − | There are some known problems with minimisation in the front-end - such as if a message box appears while the game is minimised. Until those are fixed, there will inevitably be cases which cause W:A to crash while minimised or being restored.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==== "ERROR: Could Not open/create team File" when editing teams ====
| + | |
| − | This error message is displayed when W:A can't write to the directory you installed it to. It usually happens when you change the default installation path and install W:A under "Program files". On Windows Vista, this will result in W:A not being able to write to its folder. To resolve the situation you can do one of the following:
| + | |
| − | * reinstall the game to a directory where non-administrators have write access (e.g under your user profile folder - the default installation path should work as well)
| + | |
| − | * run the game as administrator (not recommended; you will have to do it every time, but you can enforce this in the compatibility options)
| + | |
| − | * edit the directory's permissions to allow non-administrator users to write to it (for advanced users).
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==== It is not possible to generate or load maps ====
| + | |
| − | This can happen when W:A can't write to the directory you installed it to. See the answer to the previous question.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | == In-game problems ==
| + | |
| − | ==== Right-clicking in-game fails to open the weapons menu ====
| + | |
| − | The program StrokeIt can be responsible for this. Either disable the program when playing, or find the program option that allows you to prevent it from interfering when WA is running.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==== In-game plays extremely slow on Windows Vista ====
| + | |
| − | If you're using an nVidia graphics card, updating your drivers has been known to fix this issue.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==== The water and sky are black ====
| + | |
| − | Like with the above problem - if you're using an nVidia graphics card on Windows Vista, updating to the latest driver version has been known to fix this issue.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==== Players quit with a "desynchronization error" ====
| + | |
| − | Desynchronization errors are usually caused by a bug in the game. Search the [[Team17 forums]] if the problem is known. If it isn't, please post the replays of that game '''from all players''' (or at least the host's and the player that desynchronized).
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Note that there are several [http://forum.team17.com/showthread.php?t=37121 known issues] which may cause desynchronization errors when using 3.6.29.0. There are expected to be fixed in the next Beta.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==== The game colours get all messed up ====
| + | |
| − | [[Image:Color_problem_demo1.png|thumb|Your screen may look like this. (It's beautiful, isn't it?)]]
| + | |
| − | This happens when another application is stealing W:A's palette. W:A logs such occurrences to the file '''palette.log''' in your W:A folder. If you can, try closing the programs listed there.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Often it's a component of Windows itself that's stealing W:A's palette (usually '''csrss.exe'''). If you are using Windows Vista/7, having any Windows Explorer folder open while you play the game has been known to fix it. If this doesn't work, try terminating the '''explorer.exe''' process using Task Manager before starting W:A. (Don't worry if the taskbar and desktop icons disappear, that's to be expected.) You can later start it back from Task Manager (which you can open by hitting Ctrl+Alt+Delete or Ctrl+Shift+Esc), by going to '''File''' → '''Run...'''.

| + | |
| − | |}
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | You could also try [http://forum.team17.com/showthread.php?t=38762 wkColorFix], an experimental [[WormKit]] module which ''suspends'' explorer.exe while the game is running (and not minimized).
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Another known work-around is to disable the '''Indexing Service''' and/or '''Automatic Updates''' services (Control Panel → Administrative Tools → Services).
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==== The sound stutters (or plays unsmoothly) in-game ====
| + | |
| − | This has been known to happen with a slow/defective CD drive or a damaged CD. Try [[Running WA without the CD|creating a CD image]] of your W:A CD.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==== The game doesn't react to some of the keys I press ====
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Some keyboard have limits on how many and which buttons may be pressed simultaneously. If you find that the game [[w:Rollover (key)#Key jamming and ghosting|does not recognize some key presses]] when you hold down some buttons (such as several arrow keys and the space bar), you may need to change your keyboard or use a key remapper. See [http://forum.team17.com/showthread.php?t=33321 this thread on the Team17 forums] for details.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==== The game freezes while playing online ====
| + | |
| − | This problem is caused by the high-resolution timer on your computer stepping backwards. This throws W:A into an infinite loop, as it tries to make up for aeons of passed time. To work around this problem, run the '''Tweaks\TimerWorkaround_On.reg''' registry script.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==== The weapon panel moves randomly in either direction ====
| + | |
| − | [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wp1_Z_ZCS0I Bug demonstration on YouTube]
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | This problem has the same underlying cause as the one above—the high-resolution timer on your computer has stepped backwards. To work around this problem, run the '''Tweaks\TimerWorkaround_On.reg''' registry script.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==== When I minimize the game, I can't restore it ====
| + | |
| − | If you are using Windows Vista/7 and running W:A "As Administrator" - don't. [[w:User Interface Privilege Isolation|User Interface Privilege Isolation]] causes W:A to not receive certain messages. You can temporarily work around this and restore the game by using the "Bring to front" option in Task Manager, however the long-term solution is to set up the game in such a way that it does not need to run with elevated privileges.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==== The game crashes when playing an Instant Replay ====
| + | |
| − | This is a [http://forum.team17.com/showthread.php?t=37121 known issue] in 3.6.29.0. You can work around it by disabling instant replays in the scheme options, or downgrading to [[Beta updates|3.6.28.0]].
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | == WormNET ==
| + | |
| − | ==== I have been banned for no reason! ====
| + | |
| − | If you get a message that you're banned when connecting, check the green text in the message log at the bottom. This usually happens when you, someone on your network or someone who had your IP address previously had a virus or open proxy on their computer. For that reason, your IP was added to a [[w:DNSBL|blacklist]]. This is done to prevent flooders, spammers and griefers from connecting to WormNET using public proxies and vulnerable/infected computers and causing trouble.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | To remove your IP from the blacklists, visit [http://dronebl.org/ DroneBL] and [http://rbl.efnetrbl.org/ EFnet RBL], submit your IP address (it should be filled in automatically) and, if you're listed, send a removal request. You should also scan your computer for viruses and malware, otherwise you'll be blacklisted and banned again. Once you removed yourself, just wait for your WormNET ban to expire (this currently takes 12 hours), and you should be able to connect again.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==== I see the error "Unable to detect IPX protocol" when clicking "Test network" ====
| + | |
| − | Ignore this error. [[w:IPX|IPX]] is an outdated network protocol, obsoleted by TCP/IP.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==== When I try to connect to WormNET, nothing happens ====
| + | |
| − | PeerGuardian can cause this by blocking the WormNET IP address. Consider reconfiguring or disabling PeerGuardian.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==== When I try to connect to WormNET, the game freezes up (possibly with messed up colours) ====
| + | |
| − | ZoneAlarm (and possibly other firewalls) can cause this by producing a pop-up in the background when it detects your computer trying to connect. Configure ZoneAlarm so that it already gives Worms Armageddon access to the Internet. While you're there, you'll also want to allow it to act as a server, otherwise you will receive the same or similar problems when you try to host (see below).
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==== When I join WormNET, the content of the channel list, player list and the message of the day box never loads ====
| + | |
| − | Restarting the game or your computer has been known to fix this.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==== No one can join my games ====
| + | |
| − | Consult the [[Hosting Guide]].
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==== I can't join my friend's game ====
| + | |
| − | Your friend may need to do some network set-up first - see the previous question.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==== When I try to host a game, the game freezes up ====
| + | |
| − | Certain Norton security products (and possibly other firewalls) can cause this by producing a pop-up in the background when it detects your computer trying to open a port. Configure your firewall/antivirus product to allow unrestricted access to W:A.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==== When I try to join games, I keep getting a "Checksum 15" error ====
| + | |
| − | This occurs when the game has been improperly updated. Follow the installation tutorial carefully.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==== When I try to team in, nothing happens ====
| + | |
| − | This problem can be caused by a misconfigured device on your network. Your computer is trying to send the team as a packet larger than the [[w:maximum transmission unit|maximum transmission unit]] of a network node between you and the game's host. Normally when this happens, the said node will send back an [[w:Internet Control Message Protocol|ICMP]] packet, and your computer (or another routing device) will reconfigure to fragment the data into smaller segments (see [[w:Path MTU discovery|Path MTU discovery]]). However, if you are using a firewall or router configured to block ICMP messages, auto-reconfiguration will fail, and the packet will be silently dropped, creating a "black hole connection".
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | To work around this problem, you can:
| + | |
| − | * contact your ISP or network administrator
| + | |
| − | * reconfigure your router or firewall to stop blocking ICMP "Fragmentation Needed" (Type 3, Code 4) messages
| + | |
| − | * [http://www.google.com/search?q=set+MTU+windows manually set the MTU of your operating system to a lower value] (might lower network performance)
| + | |
| − | * use a VPN service such as [http://www.hotspotshield.com/ Hotspot Shield] (not recommended)
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | == Miscellaneous ==
| + | |
| − | ==== Replay (.WAgame) files are not associated with W:A ====
| + | |
| − | Worms Armageddon creates .WAgame associations when you start W:A. However, if you run W:A from a limited user account, it will not be able to do so. To resolve the issue, run W:A once with administrative privileges (in Windows Vista: right-click on the shortcut, "Run as Administrator").
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==== An alternative solution to many problems ====
| + | |
| − | Many hardware/software/OS incompatibility problems can be solved by [[Emulating Worms Armageddon]], if you don't mind a performance trade-off.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==== Getting support ====
| + | |
| − | If your problem can't be solved by following this FAQ, create a new thread on the [http://forum.team17.com/forumdisplay.php?f=68 Team17 Worms Armageddon Support] forum. You could also search the forum for similar problems.
| + | |

I'm planning to translate the Troubleshooting FAQ to Spanish, since many of these questions come way too frequently from spanish speaking players. I'll be taking progress within this discussion. Also, i'm changing the warning from the original article to redirect potential contributors to the english version.
