Troubleshooting FAQ

let the copying and pasting... begin!

This FAQ is for technical problems and will only apply to users of the most updated version of Worms Armageddon, or users either trying to update to this version, trying to install WA or trying to access WormNET.

Crashes

I get a black screen when I try to run WA, then it crashes to desktop or I have to restart the computer

Disabling the introduction screens has been known to solve this. To do this, right-click the WA shortcut icon, select properties, and in the "Target" text box, type:

/nointro

This must be outside of the quotation marks for it to work. For example, on my computer, the Target text box reads:

"C:\Worms Armageddon\wa.exe" /nointro

If you have the Trymedia version of the game, and the problem persists, one possible cause is "Ultra VNC's video hook" drivers. Open the Device Manager (Right-click My Computer, select Properties, then the Device Manager tab), find the drivers, and disable them. See here for discussion of this.
