Hi people, I have a problem with some desyncronisation. When I get online on Wormnet everything's fine and I even can host and it works without any problems but when I join other hosts the map and the setting doesn't change for me. They always stay like they have been set up on the last time that I joined someone's host. So it drops right after everyone links in the game saying to me that it crashed cuz of desyncronisation. The really weird thing is that yesterday I had this problem too then I reinstalled and it was working for me normally today but now at the evening it's wrecked up again.

I'm on Win7 x64. I'm not using any 3rd party programs nor cracks. The game is not running under admin rights and has only the parameter /nointro. It is installed in program files (x86) and I use the workaround reg file from this thread:

I'm thankful for every help.

Don't install the game under "Program files" and expect it to run fine without administrative privileges. The game must be able to write to its own directory.

Would it possibly run fine if I just put admin rights on it? Or is it really really needed to install it somewhere else?

The problem you are experiencing will most likely not manifest if you run W:A under administrative privileges, however there are other known problems that will likely appear if you do. The Troubleshooting FAQ covers your options.

Okay thanks for the really quick help. I'll stick with the option of running it under admin rights so far and if that will cause weird problems I will reinstall it. Thx much!

The primary problem you will experience when running it as an Administrator is the inability to restore the game after minimizing it in the front-end (menu system).

Yeah, you're right and I was stupid enough not to remember that issue. I reinstalled the game like CyberShadow told me. Thanks again guys now it runs fine!
