...Oneday, when my Internet was in work, I switched on the game & in the Window of Start I pushed key "Check of updatings"... and my game was not recognised. But I sure, that I bought legal Russian version of game by "Buka"!
Can someone explain it for me???

Buka? Is that a dowloaded game?
As in, did you have to pay for it to download it?

If so, then you can't patch your game.

"Buka Entertainment" is rather big Russian firm (but smaller, than "1C"), that publishes this game in my country on discs...
It is official Russian localizer of W4:M (on PC, as I know)...

It may already be updated; mine says the same thing when I click that button, but (I think) the U.S. version came with the patch, and other than that strange message I haven't had any problems. I'd guess the same is true of the Russian version, so unless you can't play online because of this, it's probably nothing to worry about. :)

Yes, the US version (Majestico) is already patched; but that wouldn't explain why you couldn't play online...

He can play online. Or at least, hasn't said he can't.

I've noticed sometimes, usually after a lengthy play time or immediately when the game starts, the framerate drops to about one half of a frame per second. Switching to another program and switching back again invariably solves it.

Also, once I did a Fire Punch so fantastically powerful that it knocked the poor recipient hundreds of miles out to sea. I suspect that might be the game behaving perfectly correctly but a combination of landscape and worm positions meaning the worm got smacked many, many times very fast. Confused the hell out of me, though, not least because I thought I'd selected the Holy Hand Grenade...

Oh wait, I thought he said that his game wasn't recognised either and that it wouldn't start online. Nevermind.

Wait, Maunem, can you play online?

Had you got any problems with W4:M?
Yes, I had! 1 16.67%
No, I hadn't. I'm lucky... 5 83.33%

Hmm... There are many lucky people here :p

I can't play online... Maybe, because some ports are closed, and some of them I must open for playing... but I don't no, how make it on MY computer...

...I understood this attention (when I pressed "Check of updatings" key ) how: my copy of game is illegal...
Then, I have 2.02 version of GameSpy Arcade...

EDIT
OK, now it works: I installed brief GSA (version 2.0.5)...
...Who has got any problems - write here! ;)
