-Look at the post of 19th August 2010-

I use Pac-Man's Worms Launcher.

Test 1: Tried without launcher.
Results:
-The game screen went grey (was also windowed with no borders) and it said it got an error.
-Nothing else but an ERRORLOG file (attached) and it changed Firefox's "tab icon" thing (the one you see on the bottom of the screen) to the windows explorer icon, oddly enough. (the explorer was also open) Although this was fixed by starting another game (StarLancer in particular, since it's old too, and changes the theme from Windows 7 Aero to Windows 7 Basic). Also, why do I have a feeling this happened before?

Test 2: Tried WITH Launcher
Results:
-Works like a charm. No pallete errors, I've blindlessely played 3 games for 10 seconds and colours are all great.

Thanks for your help. I just attached the ERRORLOG file because I thought it'd be useful. :D

But please don't lock this topic yet. Future issues may emerge, and I made a very short test...

Topics are usually left open on this forum anyway, as people may have more to add about a problem even long after it has been fixed by the user. The only time when they are closed is if it's obvious the OP is a pirate.

I may have triggered the biggest clustercrap glitch ever in W:A. (no one cares but whatever)

<unintersting_part>So, I was playing Mission 4, the one you need to kill a 100 hp worm with a 10 hp worm. There are lots of crates and you have like 90 seconds of jetpack or something once you get it. So I was getting some crates, I got a mortar. Then I fired it thru the jetpack but the mortar hit me, and the clusters nearby the terrain, causing me to die. The replay went and such, failed the mission, all fine so far.</uninteresting_part>

Now the glitch comes up. I've SUCCEEDED the mission with a GOLD MEDAL and EVERYTHING was black, and the letters were faintly white. I was like "WTF?!?!?" and I pressed Escape (or did I press the OK button? I was so surprised I can't remember). Then the game did the same thing as Test 1:
Results:
-The game screen went grey (was also windowed with no borders)

But I wasn't notified of any errors. I've ended the process of wa.exe and here I am.

I had Firefox open with a download running and Steam was also running.

Is this a known bug or something? All the other (previous) missions worked fine.

Sounds like you encountered three bugs (a new one, a known one and one that only seems to happen to you).

Can you find the replay of that mission attempt, and post it here?

I've just tried the 5th mission since it got unlocked by the glitched 4th (inb4jokeaboutthefantasticfour) and I quitted it because I got to a point of no return. Guess what. Same thing happened. Except I FAILED the mission and the game didn't magically crash. I pressed "ok" on the box that said I failed the mission, pressed Escape to go to the single player menu and then the pallete went good. I went to the mission briefing menu again and the pallete was good too.

I don't know what the hell's happening, since I failed the 1st mission once and this didn't happen.

I'll fail the mission on purpose and then attach the result here.

The game automatically creates replays of all games played - just browse into your Worms Armageddon\user\games directory and find the one where the glitch occured.

Thanks for the tip, I'll upload it as soon as I find it.

Now for the glitch.

WHENEVER I try to get a screenshot of it, it shows this when I copy-paste to Paint:

I'm dead serious. That's all it is. Just like some defunct Atari 2600 game.
Or it's like those old photograph capturing devices, when the photo gets screwed up because it couldn't be revealed good.

But I'm smarter than the glitch gremlin and I've took a photo with my cellphone.
The quality is terrible, and the glitch is not in it's complete form, but this also happens sometimes:

Now imagine the image being COMPLETELY BLACK and the letters white.
That's pretty much it.

As explained in the readme, due to the way WA works, screenshots in the normal way aren't possible. Instead, press pause/break, and the screenshot will appear in user\capture.

However, it's quite possible that the bug doesn't appear in the screenshot, so that doesn't really help here.
