So, I've managed to successfully install Worms 2, but I have two problems.

1. Videos don't work. When they play, I hear the sound, but I get a white screen with red lines which says it cannot find the 'vids:KMVC' decompressor. However, I don't really care about that.

What I do care about is this issue:

2. I can get into the frontend and change settings, etc. However, when I launch a game, my screen switches to some lower colour amount (maybe 256) and then goes black as soon as the game loads. I can still hear all of the game's sounds, and I can actually "play" the game (by firing weapons, etc.) But I cannot SEE anything going on—the screen is entirely black.

Any ideas on how I can get Worms 2 to show me what's going on in the games?

The mystery deepens...

I've discovered a strange workaround:

After launching frontend.exe, setting up a game, launching the game, and then alt-tabbing out and closing the game (because I can't see anything), I can THEN launch worms2.exe and it will launch a game with the settings I had previously designated in frontend.exe. This time, I can now see everything and play as usual.

The major downside to this workaround is that it makes stockpiling impossible (and means there's no awards, etc.)—every game must be a one-off.

Anyone have any idea why I can run worms2.exe just fine, but when frontend tries to launch a game, I can't see anything?

(Both programs are running in compatibility mode.)

I don't seem to be having any trouble with my retail Worms 2 on Windows 7, and I'm not even running in compatibility mode. That said, my cutscenes don't play at all, but I don't get an error. The game just sort of skips over them.

Hey,

to fix the colour problem open the task manager and kill explorer after you start worms 2. easy!

Guys, my worms 2 works perfectly, but the worms make no sound when they walk. I've discovered that some sound files could't be read from the CD. The CD is old, so I made a portable version for my new note (W7) .

I've managed to put some sound files from other worms games, on the worms 2 folder, and they worked! :D

But the walking sounds didn't... :(

I strongly believe that it's just a matter of renaming the walking files just as they should be on worms 2.

So, can anyone tell me the exact name of 2 sound files that correspond to the worm walking sound on worms 2? I just need the names.

Guys, I lost some sound effects files from my worms 2 game. Could someone tell me what are exact names of worms walking sounds? There are only 2 files, one when the worm expands and the other when it contracts.

The EXACT names of the files on WORMS 2 game, like "Wormwalk1.wav".

The worm walking sound were included in Worms 2 but never implemented, so there's nothing wrong with the game - it's intentional.

If the game refers to a audio file that didn't install correctly then the game would outright crash.
