NEW! Worms World Party Windows Vista - Windows 7 Compatibility Fix v1.5
by Levo

Notes
=============
The WWP Windows Vista - Windows 7 Compatibility Fix is for those who want the game under Windows Vista
or Windows 7. Please make a clean installation of Worms World Party, or remove any other fixes you may
have previously installed, otherwise it may not work. It is unofficial, but is working fine. It comes
with no warranty. Installing SP1 is recommended. You may have to run it with Administartor Rights.
It is recommended to update to this version (1.5).
The game cannot run on laptops that have an Intel Integrated Graphics Accelerator. The problem is that the driver does not support 2D games. It can only be fixed by Intel. Rumors has it that a new driver will fix the problem soon.
Users with ATI cards should update their video drivers, use Catalyst 8 or disable their current driver in Device Manager before running the game.

If you get a "Worms World Party has stopped working..." error, try these steps:
1) Uninstall the fix and THEN the game
2) Browse to the game's directory and delete all remaining files and folders
3) Install the game
4) Copy the DATA folder from the CD to the game directory (overwriting existing files)
5) Install Service Pack 1 (http://wwp.team17.com/main.html?page=comm&area=_down_patc) (recommended, but optional)
6) Install the latest Compatibility Fix

Installation
=============
Run the installer (wwp_vista_win7_fix_v1.5.exe) and follow the instructions.
To uninstall find "WWP_Vista_Win7_Fix_Uninstall.exe" in the game's directory.

Change log
=============
v1.0
- Initial Release

v1.1
- Now it disables Aero and then re-enables it, instead of removing explorer.exe from memory
- Uninstaller added

v1.2
- Completely re-written in Visual C# 2005 (fixes the antivirus problem caused by the batch to exe converter)

v1.3
- Support for Windows 7
- Now it suspends explorer.exe while the game is running

v1.4
- A few bug fixes
- Added console/log window

v1.5
- Completely re-written in C++ (Net Framework is not needed anymore)
- Three methods of running the game are now available: Suspend explorer.exe, Disable Aero Effects, Kill explorer.exe
- Test mode, tests every method one by one, so you can choose which works best.


Comments for v1.5 start here (http://forum.team17.co.uk/showthread.php?p=721323#post721323).

Also note that the fix is splitted in two parts, "wwp_vista_win7_fix_v1.5.part1.rar" and "wwp_vista_win7_fix_v1.5.part2.rar". This is because of this site's restriction to upload files lower than 100kb.


PLEASE READ CAREFULLY!
I've seen a lot of people getting confused with the installation of version 1.5.
The fix is a SINGLE installer, compressed and split in two parts.
When you download a compressed file, you just right-click on it and click extract, right? (or you double-click it and select where to extract it)
Now you need to do exactly the same thing, but NOT for both parts.
Download the two files (wwp_vista_win7_fix_v1.5.part1.rar, wwp_vista_win7_fix_v1.5.part2.rar) and save them in the SAME folder. Then extract ONLY THE FIRST one. Ignore part 2, it will be automatically extracted.

*** PLEASE DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL THE LATEST VERSION (1.5) ***

I already tried installing the WWP clean, and after that installing the fix but i still couldn't play the game. It just played the opening sound, but no image, just my desktop.

I'm using a laptop with Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 and 2Gb memory

need help, thanks..

You probably have an Intel Integrated Graphics Accelerator. Worms World Party cannot run on it, because of the driver.

I installed this fix, but I still can't get WWP to work. Everything works fine until i start a game. Instead of the exploding cake, I see a pink square surrounded by black background, and when the game starts, I can hear the music and sounds, controls work, but all I see is black.

What do I do to fix that ?

System specifications please (OS, Graphics chipset).

Doesn't developers from team17 mind people to use this "unoficial" fix?

This fix doesn't "crack" the game executable. It has nothing to do with reverse engineering. It is a launcher for the game, which helps it work properly.

There seems to be a problem with the latest Version of the fix.
I installed it and at first it worked, but after a crash of the game it didnt anymore.

Here's the problem details which should help you figure it out:

System.IO.IOException: The file "pssuspend.exe" exists already.
Stack Trace:
at System.IO.__Error.WinIOError(Int32 errorCode, String maybeFullPath)
at System.IO.File.InternalCopy(String sourceFileName, String destFileName, Boolean overwrite)
at wwp_vista_win7_compatibility_fix_v1_3.Program.Main (String[] args)

Seems you just should invoke the File.Copy Method with overwrite = true ;)

Thanks for pointing this out. A bug fixed version will appear in the next hours.
Now delete the file "pssuspend.exe" in the game directory and all is going to be alright.

Yeah i tried that earlier, thanks for the update.
By the way, nice work, i really like how you just install it and it works without problems :)

I have a new install of Windows 7 (RC) with a nVidia 9800 GTX+ video card (most current drivers). I just installed WWP from scratch and applied this patch (v1.4).

When I launch WWP, I get the command line window that says "Starting Worms World Party...", then I get a window that says "Worms World Party has stopped working". When I click "View problem details", I see:

Yes it works. Just point the Fix setup to the Demo's directory and it will work.

Which is your video card?
Did you choose the right install location?

Works up to a point when I try and start the game it crashes "Worms World Party has stopped working:"

Nvidia 9800GST
Windows 7

Not working for me, Install the game move data file and patch with your patch... When ever I try and start a game it crashes.

Windows 7 is BETA. There are too many problems in it. NVIDIA Drivers may also cause the problem.

This fix wok perfect on my Windows 7
there are no problems.

Thanks!

Probably not.
The game cannot run on laptops that have an Intel Integrated Graphics
Accelerator. The problem is the driver and can only be fixed by Intel

Mmmh, why do you call it "Compatibility fix"? I hoped it was real patch fix for the game but it's actually just a "workaround" to disable AERO, stop explorer.exe before running the game! :(

Hope to see soon a REAL FIX.
Thanks for these workarounds in the meanwhile....

It is IMPOSSIBLE to see a REAL FIX from a non team17 developer. This would be REVERSE ENGINEERING/CRACKING!
And as the Worms World Party development is over, a REAL FIX WILL NEVER APPEAR.
IF YOU DON'T LIKE THIS "WORKAROUND" DON'T USE IT!

I think Worms Mayhem works fine. Worms 3D may also work.

Worms Armageddon is pretty much the same as Worms World Party, except it is still being updated, which means most of the compatibility problems have been, or are going to be in the near future, solved.

But they aren't fixed yet.

I believe they are actually. Ask CyberShadow. I certainly haven't seen many posts around as yet. Also, the new update with a built-in colour fix is set to come out this summer.

That's very good! Is there any chance for a linux port? Or wine compatible?

It's compatible with wine, after a fashion. But someone made an easy program, that although the interface is not great, it gets the job done of getting it to run in wine. It's called play wa in linux (google it).

When I installed the service pack it overwrote your fix and when I install your fix It can't play on-line because it asks for the patch...

Any solution for this?

Install SP1 and then install the fix.

Hi,

I've just installed wwp, followed the instructions for making it fine with Vista but unsuccessfully.

I run Vista on an intel dual core, with an nvidia 8600 gts. I disabled my second screen, and tried different compatibility mode.

The game crashes after a black screen (" wwp stop working ..." cannot say the exact message in english : i get it in french).

Any tips i could try please ?

Did you try copying the DATA folder?

Yup i did. I even installed the sp1.

I was thinking of installing (again) ubuntu on a second hdd. Can we easily use wwp on linux ? (maybe with wine ? i never tried to emulate windows on linux for gaming)

I have an Mobile Intel 4 series Express Chipset Family as the display adapter doesn't say anything about it being a Intel Integrated Graphics Accelerator.. is it still not compatible?

thanks

Yeah, Intel express is the same thing.

Though, can you translate the error message? (Even if you're not exact).

Thanks, it works :eek: :D

Hi

I have installed the WWP demo on my windows 7 machine and the fix but it doesn't seem to work

Unless the demo's exe file name is the same as the full versions, the fix won't work.

I installed this fix, but I still can't get WWP to work. Everything works fine until i start a game. Instead of the exploding cake, I see a pink square surrounded by black background, and when the game starts, I can hear the music and sounds, controls work, but all I see is black.

What do I do to fix that ?

I have the exact same problem. (almost)

I uninstalled the fix, uninstalled the game, reinstalled the game, copied the data folder, reinstalled sp1, reinstalled the fix
now it does the same thing.
Everything's fine and dandy up until I try to play a game. Then, pink background, black square, and when the game starts its all black.

Vista Ultimate SP1, Nvidia 8800GT

On a side note. I once tried to play in VMware, on windows XP; it worked, but the colours were screwed and it was all flickery. Might have been down to VMware. Doesn't really bother me though, however I'd like it to work here.

Same problem here. Game starts and i can even control my worm. But screen is black!

Any ideas?

Well, i cant play the game because it is very laggy, just wait for the Worms Armageddon package which is expected to released soon, then we would be able to play W:A with our WWP CD and there would not be any problems of compatibility with W:A!!

I'm running the patch on Vista and the game runs fine. However, I can't play online. After connecting to wormnet, filling in some logging details and continuing I get some audio sound (that sounds like something happening) but then no servers etc appear, just stays at the blank blue box.

The game is not crashing, port forwarding should be fine.

W:A online worked first time for me.

Any ideas or tips?

If the game doesn't work under Windows XP neither, then the problem is your hardware (or maybe a driver).

wwp_game.exe is the original game executable after the patch installation.

As you can see in the "Problem signature" the game crashes. This problem is probably caused because your OS is 64-bit.

This patch fixes the color problem caused by the visual style of Windows Vista and Windows 7. When that problem occurs the game does not crash, a black screen or wrong colors appear.

Search the web for a solution for 64-bit Windows 7. If you manage to make the game run without crashing, then install my fix.

If the game doesn't work under Windows XP neither, then the problem is your hardware (or maybe a driver).

well, I am running VMware Fusion on MAC, I also tried Parallels Windows XP (game is running, I hear sounds but screen is a mess) and Cross Over (black screen with sound and after patch worms won't start)

Simply suspending explorer, did the trick for Win 7 x64

I used:
pssuspend.exe from

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897540.aspx

and made a simple batch called wwp.bat
@shift
@echo off
pssuspend.exe explorer.exe
call wwp.exe
pssuspend.exe -r explorer.exe
exit
thats it, put both, pssuspend.exe and wwp.bat on wwp dir and run from the bat.

No more weird colors

The fix 1.4 did the trick for the colors for me, but the game crashes after the cake, regardless of which resolution I try, and Irecinius's script didn't work either...

I use the same exactly program to do it. So no difference. But the fix is a much easier way.

Indeed, everyone should use your fix, I've installed it right now don't see a problem with it.

guess just if some folks are paranoid to not trust some exe from the internet, they can do this themselves

I will repeat. The WWP Windows Vista - Windows 7 Compatibility Fix fixes the COLOR problem. If the game CRASHES, the problem is it's engine and it is probably caused because your OS is Windows 7 BETA and especially 64-BIT. If you manage to make the game run without crashing THEN install this fix to correct the color problem.

Worms World Party is pretty old and badly written. Windows is not the best operating system. It never supported old applications. This combination is the reason the game doesn't work without a fix.


EDIT: Try setting compatibility mode to Vista, XP or 2000 and THEN installing the fix. If you have already installed it, set compatibility to "wwp_game.exe".

As I said before, my version of Win7 is the RTM, which means the FINAL version of the OS, just the one that is currently shipping to stores and OEM's, so it's no beta, or release candidate.

I'll try your suggestions, though. Thanks for taking the time to help me out, I might sound like an a-hole sometimes, but I don't mean it :P

worked for me, thx for this patch

I'm also running the Windows 7 x64 RTM release ... I'm sometimes able to run the game without problems.

It works for about 2 a 3 rounds before it ends in a black screen. It crashes when i try to run the Task manager.

After it crashes it never works until i reboot Windows..

Intel Core i7 3.0 GHz

Worms is probably the only game i ever run on my machine. I really hope there is a way to fix it...

Should i buy Worms Armageddon (since patches are still being developed) ?

Buying Worms Armageddon is a good option, but not a solution :D. But people say that you will be able to play it using the Worms World Party CD. So, you may wait.

Worms World Party was designed for 32bit platforms. Most 32bit apllications may work under an 64bit OS. But this has many issues.

ok, he work wihout your patch, so why???

If it works without the patch, why install it?? lol

Sorry for my english, i'm from brazil.

I can play the Worms in my notebook Dell, S.O Win7 64bits, i just instaled Virtual PC and install that Win XP, now i cant have any more problems and i can play on wormsnet

See u, any question my email otavio_ad@yahoo.com.br

You don't need to install virtual PC, because (as you confirmed) the game works under Win7.

I've just installed WWP from my vendor (Poland- CDProjekt). As long as I know, it already contains SP1. When I run WWP all I get is opening titles (TEAM17 and this foxy thing) and then screen goes black and nothing happens.

My specs:

Win7 x64 Professional RTM 7600
Nvidia Geforce 8600m GT
2bg ram

The opening titles work fine, so what this fix is intended to do works. But the rest of the game doesn't work due to limitations/problems with its engine. Your OS is 64bit, so most probably the game cannot run. But try setting compatibility (to wwp_game.exe) to windows xp (32 if available) and then try again.

Hi, im try that, i set the compability for windows xp, sp2 or sp3 and the game not work

Hi, im try that, i set the compability for windows xp, sp2 or sp3 and the game not work

Windows version and architecture (32 or 64bit) please. Did you try setting compatibility after installing the fix? If yes then you should set compatibility to "wwp_game.exe" and not "wwp.exe" (which is the fix launcher.

Greetings! Tried to run the game as is in your manual, but it does not working. Trying to run for awhile and then crashes.

I doesn't work for me aswell.
I have a 64bit Win 7 Ultimate Evaluation Copy.

The colours were fine just one time after I installed the fix, and they messed up again, and never came back to normal again. And the game crashed.

WWP is te best game ever, I'm very sorry I cant play it :(

what happen to the colour?the colour is 8bit....

Please also note that the game may not work under 64bit Windows due to its engine's limitations. Setting compatibility (wwp_game.exe) to a previous 32bit Windows can fix this the problem.



You can also try using XP Mode (you have the Ultimate edition, so it is available)

Alright, so here's the problem...

It *worked* on my Windows 7 Professional x64 before the patching, it just had really messed up colors. And this off the CD - when I used the trial version from the website, it crashed right away.

Well I have the disc in the drive, and after applying the Windows 7 fix it keeps asking me for the CD. But the disc is already there! Anyone else having this problem? Apparently it's unable to see my CD drive now or something...

Hi !

The game didn't work on my computer (Win Seven 64, Core2Duo E7600, 4 Go DDR3, ATI RADEON HD 4350), with or without the fix. It always crashed when launched. So I uninstalled the ATI Catalyst drivers and app, restarted the computer and now it works fine. Wrong colors without the fix (not systematically) and perfectly with the fix ! Thx Levo ! Though, when I escape the game, I get a black wallpaper... how can I get back to my Aero environnment simply ?

Another user reported that Catalyst drivers 9.10 cause problems, but 9.8 seem to work. This fix doesn't disables aero. Windows does. And windows should start it automatically after the game exits.

Really works in 7!
Thanks so much :)

9.8 ATI drivers don't work for me. The only way to make the game working properly is to use the Win7 basic graphic drivers. Then it works, but during the game I get some interferences in the display (sort of thin stripes that fuzzy the screen for time to time). The game is still playable, but that default is a bit annoying. And then when I escape the game, I need to restart manually explorer.exe (cause I get a black wallpaper and no more Aero interface).

try the 9.11 ATI drivers.

The Fix dont solve the Problem :(
I got Win 7 32bit
E7400 2*2,8 Ghz

I Tryd everything:
Install Game, Copy Data Folder, install Sp, install Fix
and so on.....

It always give me Black Screen and tell me WWW is not working....
Is there something i can do to run it?

I hope someone can help us, because its a very great game:eek:

hi,

i have followed all the instructions from your first post (install, copy od data folder, SP, fix) but it doesn t work for me - i still get the "program stopped working" message.

i m running Vista HP, have an ATI video card (ATI 4330) on my ACER 3810TG laptop and have the .net 2 framework installed.

any help?

thank you very much.

Also, I've followed instructions carefully and nothing happened. I can see only worms, black landscape, and all that in 640x480 maximum. PC with game installed:

CPU: AMD Barton 2800+
GPU: Gigabyte ATI Radeon 9200 ViVo, 128MB DDR (ATI Catalyst 6.11, recommended by ATI's site for this GPU)
RAM: 2GB Kingston DDR400
OS installed: Windows XP + Service Pack 2 + all updates till today

Any advice? Thank you in advance. :D

For all of you with ATI cards problem, try Catalyst 9.8. Some people reported that it works.

This is very weird. The fix solved the problems of inverted colours in my menu, but when I try to start a match the loading screen shows up as all pink with an orange square in the middle of the screen. Later on after it finishes loading the entire screen is black but I hear the game.

i tried all those tips to make the game work and nothing. after a while i unninstalled my ati catalyst drivers and guess what, after reboot i tested and the game worked, so i guess the problem is from ati drivers.

note that the game worked without drivers with all files intact, i made fresh new install of wwp.

the bad thing is i need the drivers to play games like Modern Warfare 2 proper, right?

hope this helps.

The patch doesn't work really on my system. I had Windows Vista SP2 and a Nvidia GeForce 8800GT and follow the instruction from the first post. All works fine until the real game (after exploding cake). I only saw the worms (in wrong colors displayed) and no terrain, so its impossible to play. Sorry, I couldn't make a screenshot, the shot doesn't show how it was in the game.

That's true. Try disabling the driver each time you want to play WWP and not uninstalling it (and then rebooting).

Is your OS 32-bit or 64-bit?

Read the first Post

I follow this steps but still doesnt work (same problem)

On windows vista 64-bit business edition, I had no problem running this game. I upgrade to windows 7, many problems... At first I got the "this program has stopped responding message" so I updated to sp1 and I tried applying your patch, but now I get a message telling to "insert worms world party" which I assume is referring to the CD. Is this because my CD is no longer the original but a burned copy of it?

If this problem can't be resolved, short of me re-buying the game, it's not a big deal because I plan on buying a small hard drive and dedicating it to linux and windows xp. Will there be a compatibility issue with 64 bit xp?

You probably have an Intel Integrated Graphics Accelerator. Worms World Party cannot run on it, because of the driver.

so that means we cannot really play WWP in our laptops no matter we hard trying??? :(

Hello,

first of all: Thanks for this fix! Even if it's not working correctly for me, you've done great work :)

Windows 7 RTM 64-bit
Intel Core 2 Quad
ATI Radeon 4870 2GB

When I installed WWP today, I got all the colours inverted. Then I found this thread, read the manual/install instructions and installed the fix. Now, the menue and the intro are running fine. The cake at loading is running fine, too, but as soon as I am ingame, the colours are (lightly) inverted again and the terrain is black. I also tried it in compatibility mode XP SP2/3 and Windows98 => sadly unplayable :( You have any idea what do do next ?

I also noticed that the game is often freezing when doing anything in the main menue. It's freezing the whole computer so even CTRL+ALT+DEL isn't working :eek:

Maybe you could give me some advice what to try next. (And don't think I am a noob xD I am very used to using my computer, so you don't need to explain even simple things like opening commandline or whatever xD)

Thanks in advance!

Hi, I tried doing the thing it says but it doesnt work for me.

I have a HP Compaq 610 laptop with windows vista home basic Sp2.
I belive this is the graphic card that comes with it, Mobile™ Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator X3100. And if im not mistaken some one said that Intel cards cant run worms at all. Has there been a solution to this from Intel or something else.

Hi All,

I also do have problems with WWP: menus are ok, but the 'cake' is shown as black square on pink background + game is completely black (not even the worms are displayed). The sound is good and shows me that the game is actually running.

I tried the SP of the game and also the win7 "patch" offered by Levo, but with no success (exact same behaviour).

My system is a WinXP Home 32bit on Atom N280 Processor with integrated Intel GMA 950 graphics. As this is DirectX 9 compatible, shouldn't it also be support DirectX 7?

Well, does anyone have a good tip for running this game on my Laptop?

Thanks,
Plasma2k

Unfortunately yes. Unless Intel fixes their driver.

WWP has many problems under 64bit. But you said that Vista 64bit worked, so XP 64bit should work too.

Same as above. You can also try using XP Mode (not compatibility) if available: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/download.aspx
Also try killing explorer.exe process in task manager and starting wwp_game.exe from the command line.

The problem is the Intel driver. There is no 2D support. The game will not work unless Intel fixes the driver.

Hey all,

running 8800GT SLI with a quad 6600.

Windows business 64bit.

Ran fine to start with, this is without changing any of the compatability options, the colour problem was the only one i had.

No patches were applied etc but when i applied this hot fix, it displays "team 17" and the "red fox" in perfect colour, but then the screen goes black and it seems to hang.

I have tried messing around with all the compatability options in both .exe's too.

Any suggestions?

cheers

Hi, I downloaded the demo to make sure the game would work before I bought it. So far all that happens when I attempt to launch is it causes my computer to think, or the screen flickers to adjust resolution, but it never opens and everything procedes as if I never opened. I tried the fix offered and now the command prompt opens, then attempts to start up WWP, but never gets past more than a screen flicker or two.

I'm running win7 hp x64 on nvidea gtx 285 cards. I've tried every past OS in compatability mode allowed, but no change in results. Also, I have it set to appropriate resolution and colors in compat mode.

Any ideas? I would really appreciate it as this is one of my all time favorite games and I'd love to have it on this pc. Thanks in advance,

Kmart

*EDIT* After reading through this thread some more, I realize that I should mention that there is no wwp_demo.exe file, just wwp and wwp_game. I've tried both files with fix and compat mode, same result. I should also mention that graphics drivers are up to date.

*EDIT#2* Today I downloaded a Worms Armageddon demo, patched it (to 3.05 i think), and ran into the same problem. I also tried ending explorer.exe and then running the two games, no difference.

I've just bought this game to find out that it doesn't work, because I have an Intel Integrated Graphics Accelerator. I think that this is absolutely ridiculous. Think of how many laptops use these.

If Team17 aren't releasing updates on this game anymore to fix such stupid problems then they shouldn't be selling the game. A note should at least be made on the box about the situation.

Both a waste of my time and money.

The info on the box was relevant by the time it was printed, Team17 can't be blamed for the fact the graphic devices manufacturers don't take us "old timers" into consideration. Posting such a comment here is what wastes your time, if you want it to be constructive you'd better petition Intel for driver improvement :)

nvm, you can reset the background by launching the unmodified wwp program

a bug maybe?

Did the game work fine but with weird colours before applying the fix? If not it is the 64bit issue.

Uninstall WWP demo. Delete the folder where it was installed. Install the demo. Browse to the installation directory and rename the main executable (wwp_demo.exe or whatever) to wwp.exe. Install the fix and try again.

You said that it stops working all the time, so most probably you are running Win Seven 64bit. There are problems running the game under 64bit. Try using XP Mode (read the bottom of the third page of this thread for more info).

There is one Problem on Windows 7 Home Premium you can't install or download the XP Mode. Its only for Ultimate and professional.

And with the Compitable Mode Windows 98 , Windows 95 , Windows XP or Vista the Game Crash , too.

Yes I know. 64bit causes the problems.

When I exit out of wwp, my wallpaper disappears (turns black). Explorer runs fine.

Sorry for the double posts...

but I figured out the problem
I had set my desktop to cycle through wallpapers every 5 minutes, disabling that removes that glitch. (or launching the unmodded wwp program resets the desktop)

other than that, thanks for the patch mate.

I had set my desktop to cycle through wallpapers every 5 minutes, disabling that removes that glitch. (or launching the unmodded wwp program resets the desktop)

other than that, thanks for the patch mate.

This happens because the fix makes the explorer "freeze" to run the game. Your workaround is good, you can try making a script disable and then enable the wallpaper cycle automatically (if possible).

Hey guys will the patch i installed works Great for me but, i have one question, is it possible to get the game to run in a 16:9 aspect ratio????

thank you gys for keeping the great game of worms ALIVE....

I don't know if this is possible. You may start a new thread for this. The fix just corrects the colour problem.

How long must i wait that Worms is possible to play on Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit? Will it be this year possible?

This game is no more updated by its developers. If this fix doesn't work for you, you are probably out of luck.

Thanks so much... now I can access Worms while on the airplane.

The game may run under 64bit windows, but this is not always guaranteed.

Hello i have a ATI RADEON 7870 X2 and im running Windows 7 64 bit. All the colours and stuff works perfectly and i can play 1 game of deatchmatch. when i quit it or play it trough the screen goes crazy and i can only see my wormcount and i can see the big X and J. If i press X i go to the menu for like 1 second then it stands that Wwp is not working and windows is finding a sollution to fix it.

What do i do? ive followed ALL the instructions.

This is whats happening: http://img33.imageshack.us/img33/3271/1000364b.jpg
then when i press the X this: http://img190.imageshack.us/img190/3679/1000365e.jpg

Moin.

Maybe someone knows me as "OneGamer" but i was not allowed to register me at this Board with my usual nick...

So, here ist my Problem:
I hav Win7 Pro 64-Bit running on my machine (Intel T9300 2,5Ghz Dualcore, ATI 3650 Mobile 1GB GDDR2, 4Gb DDR2 RAM) but nothing works ^^
I tried to start the game after a clean installation, after the SP1 Patch and after using the Compatibility Fix, but nothing worked correctly.
Now i will give it a last chance to do what i want, starting the Win7 Compatibility-Mode at Win98 (or else 32-Bit System) and hope it will work.
If it works (hopefully fine ^^) i will say it to you right here, if not:
WWP-CD -> Trash

Good night - good fight


-> Sorry for bad english, its a long time ago i learned it at school (germany ^^)

You might want to hold onto the WWP disc for when you'll be able to play WA with it. :p

Fix fixed problems with colours, but the game after team17 and titus logo is not responding? Where's the problem?

I got this work somehow with my 64-bit windows vista ultimate by using virtual pc 2007. In the game, my mouse doesn't work right, it goes extremely crazy and I can't use it. Before the battle/in the "lobby" mouse works well. Does anyone know how to fix it?

Fix fixed problems with colours, but the game after team17 and titus logo is not responding? Where's the problem?

What's yours OS? 32 or 64 bit? Did it respond before the fix?

Only fix the menu color , in game background turn black and only see worms

I have
Windows 7 Ultimate 32bits
Core 2 Duo 2.2Ghz
Geforce 8600M GT 512mb

What's yours OS? 32 or 64 bit? Did it respond before the fix?

Windows 7 64bit.
Before the fix, game works but with bugged colors. After fix, Team17 and Titus logos work good with good colors, but it isnt responding after second logo.

64bit causes the problem. Browse to the installation directory and set wwp_game.exe to windows xp compatibility. If your windows is ultimate, you can also try XP Mode.

Try the same.

There is no changes. After launching wwp_game, worms works but with bad colors, after wwp.exe 2 logos and not responding.

Can you make the fix so that you can also install service pack1 so you still can play online?



Thanks

So are you saying the game cannot work on 64-bit comps? Cause 64-bits are 32-bits but can handle twice the amount of coding, so i dont see how a 64-bit cant handle a 32-bit's job...

Can you make the fix so that you can also install service pack1 so you still can play online?

Just uninstall the fix, install SP1 and then reinstall it.

64bit windows never worked properly, why do you people use it?
OK, try setting the screen colour depth to 16bit before launching the game and then tell us if it worked.

There is no changes.
64bit 'couse of ram.;]

I understand. Uninstall the fix and then set colour depth to 16bit. Also set compatibility XP and disable Aero. Try and report.

Hi, im try that, i set the compability for windows xp, sp2 or sp3 and the game not work

Windows version and architecture (32 or 64bit) please. Did you try setting compatibility after installing the fix? If yes then you should set compatibility to "wwp_game.exe" and not "wwp.exe" (which is the fix launcher.

Sorry im late hehe.

I have W7 x86 RTM (7600) i try installing the game normally and dont work, then i install the fix, dont work, i set the compatibility with xp sp3 and dont work, i unninstall the fix then unninstall the game then i install the game again, copy the data folder from the cd to the directory of the game (overwriting) and then install the fix and with or withour compatibility dont work

i have catalyst 10.1

bye

Hi, Installed on vista 32 bit and installed SP1 and the fix but i still get the .exe has stopped working error i've tried running as admin and compatibily but still doesn't work any ideas?

You mean that you get a "stopped working" error message? The problem is the catalyst drivers. Try uninstalling them or disabling them in Device Manager. Then the game should work fine.

Error in english

:)


Unfortunately, not.

You mean that this problem comes up during Service Pack 1 Installation? Uninstall the fix and then the game. Now install the game, download the appropriate SP1 for your WWP language. In the end install the fix.

When i installed game, i can't instal SP1 for Poland. This error pops up. I not instal anything apart from game. When I installed game and I try installed this >>>http://wormsworldparty.team17.com/main.html?page=comm&area=_down_file&file=19&type=uk<<< SP error pops up. I have game from magazine CyberMycha

What is your video card and which driver do you use (version)?

Radeon 9000 its old lol but it only has a standard vga adapter driver because vista doesn't support the card

I've installed this fix, but sometimes work sometimes don't. It happens that black screen appears after entering a game (there's only sound) and then is not possible to exit, nothing worked (Esc, Alt+F4, Windows...), restart is the only way. I have GF6500 graphic card. How can I fix this, please?

Weird. Update your drivers and reinstall directx 7 (from WWP CD).

I can't play without SP1. When i turn without SP1, pops up error "Worms World Party has stopped working..."

I can only confirm that it works on the official release, not one from a magazine. Sorry, I cannot help you any further.

mine works fine ... so far

So, I have win7 32 bit on toshiba laptop.The video card is "Mobile Intel(R) 45 Express Chipset Family (Microsoft Corporation - WDDM 1.1)"and I don't think it has integred accelerator.Tried everything to install the game, but every time it crashes.I followed step by step the guide but it always CRASH "Worms World Party has Stopped working" and then I have to close the window.I run it as an administrator, under compatibility mode but nothing.Any IDEAS

Thanks :)

Yes it is an integrated Intel video card. Even if the game ran, black screen would only appear. All laptop vgas are integrated.

EDIT: The game crashes because you haven't installed Intel's driver. If you install it, WWP won't crash, but won't work either.

Hello,
I've been playing Worms since the early 90's. WWP is my favorite and I've been playing it since it first came out. I've gone through numerous computer updates since then and have been successful at patching and fixing all of them. However I just purchased a new Dell Desktop and I cannot make it work. I've read through all of these pages of threads on this subject and I see that there are others that have not been able to make it work and some successful. Levo, I've tried all of the suggestions you have made and no mater what I try, nothing seems to work :( I'm going through withdrawals!

Crashes occur because of the 64bit OS. 64bit windows doesn't work properly , especially with older applications.

my game still crashes after every game :(
well, i can play... but just 1 game and after it, it always crashes.
it's annoying...
does anyone know what to do?
i tried changing the wwp.exe to 2000/xp sp2/vista
and i installed this compatibility fix
both didnt help

please help me, i dont want to start the game for new after each game :(

I have installed the fix, colors are all right, but when I start a game, everything is black, just the worms can be seen and in weird colors.

I run Windows 7 64bit, ATI Radeon Graphic card, Intel chipset and CPU.

Thanks for any help !

Forgot to add, I tried disabling the driver, when I did that the game won't even run. I tried 16-bit color mode, didn't help. tried all the compatibility options, none of them helped.

Thanks a lot for this fix.. i'm using windows 7 64 bit on my laptop with nvidia geforce 9300ms card.. its working really good! Love this game.. Thanks a lot!!

great, so the ppl with 64 bit os cant do anything??

Uninstall your current Catalyst driver and install version 8. Then try again.

I don't think that something can be done. 64bit windows doesn't work properly.

Do i need directx 7 if i already have directx 9?

Do i need directx 7 if i already have directx 9?

I don't know if dx7 libraries are installed if you have dx9. I suggest that you try installing it.

i am totally confused! i just installed windows 7 on my new netbook (asus eeepc 1001p) and worms world party doesnt work anymore
it worked fine before when it came via mail with previously installed windows xp home
i guess i have an intel integrated graphic adapter but why worked it fine on windows xp? there both 32 bit os so wheres the difference?

There is of course nothing wrong with 64-bit versions of modern operating systems, I don't understand why Levo keeps implying there is. It's not even new technology anymore, it's standard in this day and age and fighting it is ridiculous.

What's actually broken is WWP. What you guys should really be doing is either waiting for WA to start working with WWP discs or shelling out the £5.99 for the W2/WA pack in the Team17 store.

Yes there are many problems with 64bit windows (not other 64bit OS). And also there are many problems with WWP. Most users, as you can see, have problems playing WWP under 64bit. This confirms what I say.

No it doesn't, it confirms what I say. :p

This explains why i still cannot get rid of the blackscreen/error... =/

so can anyone explain to me why wwp works on win xp home fine and not on windows 7 ultimate on the same workstation? hardware is asus eeepc 1001p

Hi, this patch work fine for color, mine problem was my catalyst driver (i set then to 8 from 10 and now it work fine) but now i have another problem.

I solve color problem with ur patch, once again its work fine but i cant play more than one game. After the "victory", the game crash, windows says that "wwp stopped work bla bla" and i got a black screeshot instead of my usual "background".

Any solution ? :)
Thanks for keep reply to people problems ;)

Please stop asking this question. Windows x64 has x86 emulation to run any 32-bit program fine so long as it conforms to programming standards. If a program doesn't work on x64, it's the program's fault, not x64's.

With that said, my roommate has an x64 laptop and can run WWP fine. I am an x86 (32-bit) desktop and I cannot. We are both running Windows 7 Ultimate.

In any event, I clean-installed twice. I was able to run WWP just fine from my XP install when I first had installed Windows 7. It's been a few weeks, and now I've tried, and I cannot run it. I first tried clean installing it and using the Vista 1.1 Compatibility Fix here (http://forum.team17.co.uk/showthread.php?t=36539) (as I had done before to my XP Installation as the colors were wrong) and that wouldn't even boot up.

So, I tried yet another clean install with this workaround, (both with and without SP1) and it doesn't work. I've tried a variety of compatibility modes, and they don't work.

And I have an ATI Radeon 4350 with up-to-date drivers. Any help would be appreciated.

Are you trolling me? I didn't say you can't ask questions. I'll make this short and bold so you can read it:

I AM USING WINDOWS 7 ULTIMATE x86/32-BIT. STILL

And for the record, no, 64-bit Windows 7 doesn't have any problems that are brought on by not being 32-bit. The problems lie in the 32-bit applications themselves. When my friend got his new laptop, I reinstalled everything he had been using on his 32-bit laptop for the past three or so years. ONE thing didn't work, and it was a terrible scanning utility for his scanner that was crappily programmed, and had been made for Windows 95.

And he can play Worms on his 64-bit perfectly without any patches, and I cannot. XD

I made a mistake. And I want to add something more. Please talk nice, or I WON'T HELP YOU.


By the way, the patch has now 10000 downloads, and very few complaints (less than 150, I think). Happy gaming!!

Don't threaten me. I was speaking nicely, and you didn't help me.

Your own ego-toting aside, is these anything you can recommend? Once again, I'm on 32-bit Windows 7, and I had it working at first installation.

No you didn't. And I'm not threatening you. Also please stay on topic. Changes to your computer since the first installation may have affected the game. Try setting display mode to 16-bit.

Yeah, I did, check my first post. I got annoyed when you scolded me like you were doing for other people even though I did everything right. And I am on topic. You were the one to go off-topic telling me to be nice to you, which I'm only answering.

Yeah, that was my initial guess since it worked before. I tried the color settings, and I'm still getting the same error. I've tried compatibility mode with every OS, as well as tried it with the compatibility off. I've also tried it with 256-colors, running it in 640x480, disabling visual themes, disabling desktop composition, and even the DPI setting, but things usually work better with that last one off.

And I always run in administrator mode, but, I've tried it once without it just 'cause. I always get the following error:

"Worms World Party has stopped working", and it checks for solutions online or whatever.

Come play WA with us, Mopquill. We could use someone of your talent. :cool:

Come play WA with us, Mopquill. We could use someone of your talent. :cool:
My talent? And what might that be that would be evident from my posts?

In any event, I have WA, but, I haven't tried it yet, so, I don't know how it compares to WWP.

Anyhow, that dude'll probably get mad if we're spamming his "Fix WWP" thread with "Play WA!". XD

On-topic, I still can't get WA to work. T_T

How do you set a game to 16 bit? Mine still won't work on my 32 bit Windows Vista Ultimate after installing the fix and after trying all the compatibiltiy fixs in Windows.

My talent? And what might that be that would be evident from my posts?

In any event, I have WA, but, I haven't tried it yet, so, I don't know how it compares to WWP.

Anyhow, that dude'll probably get mad if we're spamming his "Fix WWP" thread with "Play WA!". XD

OK, as you all can see, mopquill continues mocking me. So even if I try to help him, he won't listen to me. I am not responsible for the game that doesn't work. I just try to help people. This is my last post answering to you. Bye mopquil. Play WA, you talented guy.

He means color to 16-bit, as in 256 colors. And yeah, I know, I'm having the same problem. Windows sent out another compatibility fix update today though, so, I'm going to try again in a bit and see if anything is changed.

Dude, are you serious? Is your ego that fragile? I wasn't even talking to you, I was talking to the guy who posted after me, and whom I posted after, if you read.

The last post I had directed at you stated that I tried with a variety of different compatibility fixes to no avail. I simply asked if you had anymore suggestions, as I'm at a loss here. I never said that I wouldn't listen to you, I tried your last suggestion and it didn't work. Please stop getting so worked up over nothing.

Duty to register and connect just to download a patch, it's really very, binding. I hope at least this patch works.
and I even want to make me **** to translate into English for those who are not.

PS: And also it works even.
You can delete my account, I no longer need ...



These are the forum rules, it has nothing to do with the patch. I hope that it works, too.

Making people mad is one of those talents. :p

Have you read the stickies in the WA Support forum (http://forum.team17.co.uk/forumdisplay.php?f=68) and checked if any of the proposed solutions work for you? If they don't, you might as well open a new thread there and describe the issues in a bit more detail. Alternatively, you could just come to the IRC channel from below my avatar and we'll figure something out.

Why i get file missing ?

What do you mean "file missing"? Please post a screenshot of the error message.

The only person that got mad was Levo, and he was clearly overreacting.

No, I haven't because I was trying to run WWP. Why would WA support help me?

I was the only one who got mad because I am the only one you blamed for everything. WA is still being developed, you can give it a try.

I've deleted some of the more pointless argument from this thread, but I've left anything that's even slightly constructive or required for the thread to make sense.

Do feel free to continue, but please be civil. A good rule of thumb is that if you're using bold type or the phrase 'learn to read', you're probably being a dick. If someone is being a dick then report it; don't have a three page argument and then expect me to clean it up, because I've got better things to do and it's so much faster just to trash the whole thread.

Mopquill: W:A support won't help you play WWP but it will help you play W:A which is by now better anyway.

Thanks, and sorry for the spam. I hadn't intended to be mean to anyone, simply to defend myself, since this guy keeps attacking me whenever I speak.

Anyhow, thanks for the advice. I've never played W:A, as my friend recommended WWP over it. I suppose I'll try it though, thanks. :)

He means color to 16-bit, as in 256 colors.
16-bit color is not the same as 256 colors

Yeah, I know, but, feel free to point out another color-related option in the compatibility tab. If that ISN'T what Levo meant, then I'm not certain how it would have helped at all. XD

By the way, totally unproductive post. Why don't I follow you around and correct your grammar or something?

Check the control panel for the 16-bit option. I said nothing about the compatibility tab.

Surprise, it still didn't fix anything. XD

In any event, I didn't know that option was there. I was on XP until a month ago, and on XP your options are 16 colors (4-bit), 256 colors (8-bit), True Color (24-bit), and True Color (32-bit). I figured you'd meant 256 colors, as that would be the one with a compatibility advantage, as opposed to 24-bit. It doesn't make any sense that 16-bit would help compatibility in any way whatsoever. *shrug*

In any case, the appropriate answer to Davido, rather than ignoring him and having me fail to answer him would have been:

Davido, 16-bit color can be achieved by going to:

Control Panel > Display > Adjust Resolution > Advanced Settings > Monitor Tab

Then use the drop-down box on the bottom left of said tab (labeled Colors), selecting High Color (16-bit). Good luck.

still no update on Intel based graphic cards????

The game cannot run on laptops that have an Intel Integrated Graphics Accelerator. The problem is the driver and can only be fixed by Intel.

Any news will be announced to the first post, but I don't think that Intel cares about this issue.

I think I got a new problem here.

The patch fixed my colors, but now I got a Different problem.
Menu/intro work great. after launching a game (I see no cake, btw), It goes all... "messed up". Can't really explain or take a screenshot... Was gonna take a picture with a camera, but its broken >_<.

Its like... lots of squares.. flashing. then for a sec it was fine (except for some squares on the bottem), Then it screwed up again.

Could be something with refresh rate?........

Weird, never heard of something like that before. Does any "fancy-colour" application run in the background?

First of all I want to thank Levo for putting all his effort in helping others out, even if they are a pain or a bit slow. You really rock Levo :) (you should deserve a medal lol :P )

I've been reading this thread for a while now, and i've been (constructivly) trying out every solution given, shamefully, still my wwp doesn't work. It keeps giving me the error: "Worms World Party stopped working" when i try to run wwp .After all I do have an Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU M430 @ 2.27GHz. driver in combo with Windows 7 64bit, and an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470 videocard. That all installed on a laptop, so you can say i have like 3problems preventing me from playing the awesome game :<

Still i have a question (since i'm not so super pro in handling software).
I've been continuesly reading about the Intel graphics accelerator being a pain. So my question is:

Is there a way to shut down that graphics accelerator and make the game work?

I'm sorry if I missed a post that allready handled this question. (I'm dutch, so some solutions are hard for me to follow since everything is named differently on my computer :/ )

Any way, thanks again Levo for putting so much effort in helping others :)

Thanks dude!
It works perfectly on my 32-bit winows 7!

You don't have an Intel graphics accelerator, so you don't need to worry about that. The game sometimes doesn'y work under 64-bit Windows, nobody knows why. Which Catalyst driver do you use?(version?). Is it Windows 7 Ultimate?

I don´t? Well allright, I guess in this case that's a good thing :p

Aye i've been reading about win 7 x64 being a problem, but also seen posts that claimed having no problem with it, so I was hoping mine would be one of them :p
I'm using Windows 7 Home Premium OA (Says a sticker on the bottom of my laptop...)

I'm not quite sure what version of catalyst i'm using, according to the info screen (Seen at the top right of the control center, under options -> Help -> About Catalyst control center)
Version 2009.1209.2335.42329
I'm quite new with laptops, and that catalyst control center, so please excuse me for the lack of experience, and perhaps for the lack of usefull info..

Thanks anyway for helping me though :)

I switching to windows 7 Ultimate 64 since Friday. I hope it will be working. I know there is WA and WR soon, but I lost my WA disk and I'm not willing to d/l it illegally and WR is yet to be released.

Hello,

I recently installed this compatibility fix under Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit. However, whenever I try to load the game I get the "Application has stopped working" message and under "details" it mentions "APPCRASH".

I'm using Catalyst 10.3 Drivers with an ATI 5770. The same happens with a 2600XT in another system.

When I was using Vista 64 bit, the problem was not present and this excellent fix worked fine.

it works great thanks

I don´t? Well allright, I guess in this case that's a good thing :p

Uninstall your current Catalyst driver and install version 8. That way the game should work. If you don't want to do this, disable the driver in Device Manager, restart your computer and the game should also work. Then re-enable the driver and restart. Do this every time you want to play.

Hi there, haven't played any worms for a very long time, though I'd install the classic Worms World Party and give it a go. I use Windows 7 x64, I installed the game according to your instructions, even installed catalyst 8, however, I still get "Worms World Party has stopped working" error.
Can you think of any fix for this error?

Hi there,

I have installed a Windows 7 on my PC and I'm using a Symantec Anti Virus. I was downloading a Google chrome browser and when I have done the installation process. A pop up message box came up that is stating error. Buy as I turned of my Symantec anti virus the browser was then installed.

What should I do? should I use another Anti virus? or Do I only need to configure some of the options on my Symantec and what do I need to configure on the options?

needing help.

hemmm.... this is a games forum... not a PC forum.... ¬¬

Works perfectly under Win7 x64 with a switchable 8400M GS (7.15.x)! Did not install anything with admin rights, nor running WWP in compatibility mode. Great job :)

Thanks for your help mate :)

Though i guess i just have one of those windows 7 x64 operating systems that doesn't want me to play wwp :< Because i've tried to disable the driver by going to the device manager then clicking on the "Beeldschermadapters" (in English Screenadapters (or something :P)) then disabeling the videocard i have, because i think that's what you meant by "disable the driver in Device Manager", rebooted the laptop, then started the game, still it said, after turning my screen black twice, "Worms World Party has stopped working".

Though I haven't tried to instal Catalyst Control Center version 8, because I can't find the download of it, anywhere. I googled it, but then i only get sites where you have to register, and then pay to download it (wich i'm not doing). I also tried the official AMD site (http://ati.amd.com/products/catalystcontrolcenter/index.html) but then it only links me to a site where i can download version 10.3. So it might sound simple to someone with experience :p but for me "Uninstall your current Catalyst driver and install version 8" is quite complex >.<

As I said before, i'm not quite profound with software... And I only have myself to blame for it :p


Thanks alot for your help though, Levo :) If there is anything you can think of to help me still, then please name it, if not, then i'm gratefull for the help you gave me so far :) Especially because this topic is actually ment to repair blurry colours , and not make the game work...
