So.. I found an old backyp DVD with WWP & WA on. Since WA is aupposidly superior for reasons I don't actaully know I'd like to get WA going.

I feel there isn't enough simple info here!

-I have The "New Addition". I tried adding those colour fix files in WA dir bit It didn't do work.

-No severs seem to show up

Please buy the game. We do not support pirated versions of WA.

Always funny how people try to conceal their pirated versions.. Dude you should really buy the game, you're missing out on a hell lot of features. And online-play, obviously. :)

When I was googled worms "New Addition" came up. I assumed that was official and the one I had because it was dated '99, but obvously after the comments it isn't.

Forbids 3.6.28.0 has a side effect: Players that are on Windows 9x with a genuine WA will be unable to play on WormNET.

The next version will attempt to restor Windows 9x support though so maybe then they can ditch support for all previous versions of the beta update a couple months after the release of the next beta.

Wait a moment.
If Paft once bought Worms Armageddon and lost the CD or it got destroyed or whatever might have happened thus he can't use it anymore, he is allowed to download backups... at least as far as I know...
Not hacked versions like "New Edition" though I think, I'm not very sure.

If past practice sets a precedent, he certainly shouldn't be allowed to continue posting on this forum. Whether what he says he's done is against the law where he's from or not.

Why people watch that horrible, watered-down version of the original awesomeness is beyond me.

And yes, the next version does have 9x support. The bug was caused by the devs upgrading Visual Studio and not realising that it broke 9x - they have since downgraded again.
