Hi mates,
I don't really know why, but since this morning, I just can't access to any of the networking's relay screens, because my game keeps crashing.
I don't see anything I could I've done which can cause troubles like this.

Here are files for more informations.
Thanks in advance,
Edit : I also can't edit maps, I got a black screen, A white crusor, and can't do anything but reboot my computer, cause this "STAY ON TOP W:A ! FTW" function is avoiding me to debug anything.

Alann.

I don't know what's causing this, but this is happening all over the place. One day W:A works, the next - it crashes because now DirectX is returning an error code that W:A can't handle. I don't know of a workaround, but it'll be fixed in the next Beta. Until then, I can only recommend trying to find what changed on your system.

Actually, I really don't have done anything, I'm thinking a lot about it and, well, the only thing which might cause this was my sound card.
I launched W:a and I forget to set it back to 44khz. It was at 88khz, and worms had no sound, but well, I think this isn't the reason why Worms refuses to work anymore, cause in my opinion, there just wouldn't be any sound.

I'll reinstall DirectX 9.25.1476, the latest one in my knowledge, and see if anything change.
As I'm sometimes playing latest games, which requires this DX, maybe one of them just changed one system file, or whatever...
One more time, I doubt ....
Can't you give me the error number of this direct X error ? So that I can maybe find what caused it.
Edit:

I reinstalled :
Audio driver(which I recognize, has pitiful WDM drivers, but they are powerful enough for W:A)
Graphic card driver
Network card too
Direct X

I don't see anything else W:A and DirectX could share.
Hum,there is still the inputs...

Reinstalling my keyboard driver didn't help either. Time to scan my computer for malawares...

direct x 9.0c is the latest direct x 9. anything else is a virus or spyware.

Instead of trolling my topic with wrong information, you could take 1minute to perform a quick search...
Or, if I'm wrong, you should send a mail to Microsoft and ask them to take care, they are spreading a virus !

Could you check if 3.6.28.0 (http://worms2d.info/Beta_updates_(Worms_Armageddon)) works?

Unfortunatly, it doesn't.
but 3.6.29.0 version used to work fine, so it's not related to the .exe itself.
I'm going to reinstall the whole game, and see what happens.
Maybe some files have been corrupted by something, who knows.

Edit : Oh gosh, that was as lame as that !
For a reason that I ignore, reinstalling the game just solved the problem...
I just reinstalled the patch first, thinking it was a core file which was corrupted, but well, it seems this was an image which caused theses troubles.
I don't have any idea why, but my graphics folder get few different file size, etc... Does the game make some modification in there ? Oo...

Anyway, thanks for your help.
