Hi,
i'm playing WA with a friend through wormnet, we both have very different systems but we encounter the same problem. after about 10-15 minutes of gameplay one of us gets the colors inverted completly, this even carry's over to the windows desktop environment, only thing to fix it is starting WA again or reboot.

this is my errorlog.txt

and this is his errorlog.txt
http://pastebin.com/UiQy4w4d

we tried to exit every unnessecary program that is listed under "modules" but that did not help. :(

it happens very random, normal gameplay then suddenly -> colors inverted (but the game still runs, you can't play like that OFC)

P.S.: thank to everyone who is involved with these beta patches, REALLY awesome, you made an epic evergreen game even better, love all these new possibilities!

greetings from germany,

Hi,

Does the problem go away if you press Shift+Pause?

Do you have the auto-changing desktop wallpapers feature enabled? If so, disable it

about 3 minutes after posting the thread (was not approved so i could not post the news) i found the FAQ ( shame on me. :( ) that solved our problem. SHIFT+PAUSE for the win. easy and simple fix.

P.S. i wish more games would have the option to direct connect over the internet. it's awesome. year 2477 - worms is still working.

thank you anyway for your fast help. <3

If you can get ahold of any ancient hardware by then ;)

Anyway, what I said above - if you have autochanging wallpaper, better disable them to prevent such problems in future.
The next W:A beta is going to solve any of the colour issues forever, and no more fixes will be needed :)

as i said we disabled everything that we could. and non of us has changing wallpapers oder VLC video wallpapers or something like that.

we're very happy with palette reloading, it occurs every 10-30 mins so that is really not a problem at all.
for me, i did not have any color invertation for a couple of matches. he still has it sometimes but as i said - really not a problem anymore thanks to the palette reloading feature. :D

P.S. i think in 2477 you will be able to run todays OS'es on your calculator in a VM with 0.00001% CPU load. no need for ancient hardware. :D
