Hello. Sometimes, when playing, the game shuts down itself and the screen returns to Windows without saying anything. I don't think it is related to tweaked weapons, because it crashes even without them! Or sometimes the game freezes down and the Window's cursor appears magically! But the game still remains freeze and i can't do anything. I just can shutdown by holding down the power button. Any suggestions to improve my game experience? Thanks in advance.

First of all, give us your system specifications. If you don't know what these are, right click on My Computer and then choose Properties. You should get a list of your stuff on the right side of the window that pops up.

Well, thanks for the reply. Now i just tested worms on another pc and it runs very good. So it is only in one of my pc's where the game crashes:
"Stupid pc" (where Worms doesn't run well)
Ram: 256 Mb
Cpu: Pentium 4 2.80 Ghz
Video Card: Integrated 64 mb
Os: Windows Xp Service Pack 2
Ok pc:
Ram: 1024 Mb
Cpu: Dual core Intel 1.80 Ghz
Video Card: Intel 910/ 915 GM 128 Mb
Os: Both Vista Premium Service Pack 1 and Windows Xp Service Pack 3 (on both Operating systems on the other pc the game runs without blocks).
Thanks for the help

I think it's the video card in this case; it seems quite poor. Otherwise it should be ok.

I have a 64MB video card (albeit non-integrated) and it works fine, the only problems I had was that the computer lagged badly (especially in W3D, not so much in W4M) whenever the computer's turn came, but I think that's my processor's problem. I'm getting a new PC at Christmas anyway (yay for building PCs!), so I will finally be able to play W3D ;p

Thanks for the replies :) Ok, i have seen better and found out that the video card is an ATI (don't remember wick model, sorry if it can be useful) and not integrated. So?:confused:

Not sure... do you have the latest graphics card drivers from ATi?

No. I will update them. Well it is a way worst than before after the update of the drivers. :(
