Hi there, wormers!
I have a new PC with AMD's X2 CPU (AMD X2 3800+). Game (both SP0, v1.003 or SP2, v1.073 versions) are runnig too fast if running without "Windows 95 compability" -mode in my Windows XP Pro SP2. But when using Windows 95 mode I have problem with refreshrate. In launcher the refreshreate is 0 Hz, LOL and no other settings are on the list. If I put something there the refresh is still 60 Hz on game. Without compability modes I can see full refresh list, but cannot play the game: it is too fast.
My graphic card is nVidia 7900 GT and I have set in its menu right refreshrate to all resolutions. But Worms 3D use it owns...
I know the commandline what can use in Linux like: worms3d.exe /w 1024 /h 768 /refresh 100, but it do not work now with this AMD X2 and Windows XP Pro (32-bit version). I got only an error message:"Program have got an error and it will send report to Microsoft bla bla blaah...".
Other weird thing is that when I finished the game it will not end. It return of course back to Desktop, but I can see it in Task Manager still running Worms3d.exe. I have to kill it there. And if I forgot kill I cannot run other 3D games or start Worms 3D again.
Hope some Team17 member have AMD X2 CPU and can test this bug/error and do patch for it. Worms 3D is still the best Worms game in On-line: good ninja rope, shortcuts to weapons, weapons etc. etc.
