Why is there so much problems with worms laggedon, I once had to wait 10min for a wormer to finish timing out before the game ended is ridiculous doesn't this game have a way to finish interrupted connections sooner? or disconnect people after 30 seconds of not sending data, why do we have to wait to song! it makes the other people that want to play leave!

the timeout is 3 minutes, not 10. the same on the wormnet IRC channels

I waited more then 3 minutes, 2 of the 3 people waited about 3-4 minutes and they left, I waited about 7 or 8 minutes and I have to exit the game manually, ask other people I bet they have similar stories.

imho 1 minute should be enough

there can be several rare situations when a timeout will not happen and the lagger's nickname isn't shown in red. i don't know what's the cause, but it happened to me a few times.
also, it can be possible that during the waiting the lagger has stopped lagging for a very little amount of time (0.02 sec is enough), and then continued. however i don't think that it may ever happen (except if he is doing that intentionally, which I also doubt).

There are WormKit modules allowing you to kick a player if you are the host, also lagging players. After kicking them the game continues as usual without that lagger.

How do I install and use it. Can I kick players while I'm on hostingbuddy too?

Copy it to the Worms installation directory and start it with Wormkit. It doesn't work with HB.
Hey look there's a worms2d.info wiki entry about all this

:rolleyes:

:p

Worms Kit makes my game freeze sometimes anybody knows why is that?

bad antivirus? turn it off if any and retry

EDIT: oh wait you spoke about ingame freezes and not startup problems.

do you use wkColorFix? if so, remove it. and the compatibility options (if you enabled any).

I don't think it's an antivirus it happens during game, and no I don't use wkcolorfix and I don't know what the compatibility options even are, I just copied a module called kickplayer or something. I have a file madCHook.dll that's said to be for 9x/nt but that came with wormskit, and the only module I have active is this wkKawooshKick.dll

then something else is causing the problem, usually outdated drivers. Try to update your graphics drivers, and better the other drivers too.
