I have had worms 2 since it has arrived on the ps network and also have purchased the battle pack. Everything was working fine until the recent software update. After loading update I tried playing the game and half some of the items in the shop are now locked again. this includes the whole weapons page, 3 of the landscapes, all the gravestones and all of the campaigns. Now I have already aquired everything from the shop and cannot get any credits again because I have already beaten the challenges to get those credits. It seems the only thing I can do is erase my save and start all over. Thanks alot Team 17 for screwing up my game!!!!!

Hi, I'm sorry you've had this issue, we have had a few people mention this, but it also seems like this has not happened to the majority of players so we would really like to get to the bottom of why this has happened. Would you please contact support@team17.com and let them know about your case?

Thanks.

I have the same problem :-(

I powered on my PS3 Slim on OFW. I launch my favorite game. I accept to update it. Meanwhile I take a beer and reply to mails on my phone. I received a friend. We speak about "armageddon". I launch iTunes and plays songs. When the game was already updaded, the start screen appears, unlike to my items.

Do you plan to do something for us so that we recover our purchases hard-won ?

it has happened to the majoirty of players, everyone i know has the same problem too, this needs to be fixed quick, i wanted to create a new game type and put infinate weapons on, but now all the weapons i unlocked are now locked again and i cannot add them to the game mode

also, ever since the update worms is freezing very often, before the update it never froze once,


now everytime this happens i am forced to turn off my console!

I've had all of the same issues as listed above.

1) Have owned Worms 2: Armageddon on PS3 for about a year now, along with the Battle Pack and the more recent Puzzle Pack (that seems to have been removed from the PSN already for some reason).

2) I had also unlocked everything possible to date, but when the software update took place I lost everything mentioned by the other person who posted the same issue.

(Actually, I wasn't sure if it was downloading the Puzzle Pack or the software update that screwed up my save game, but from what others are posting it looks like it was the update)

What's going on?

We are still looking into this, we will report back when we know for sure what has happened.

I too have the same problem, and so does everyone else I've spoken to with Worms 2. Any news on when this will be fixed?? At the moment the game's useless as pointless winning online games and my solo campaign progress has been lost.

We know what's happened and we are working on a fix now.

Cool i cant wait! ....no seriously i cant wait any eta on the patch? i'm jonesin for some wormin;) Thanks BILLT17 for the update.

We know what's happened and we are working on a fix now.

Would you be at leisure to let us know what's happened, even in point form? What type of ETA are we looking at?

I suppose it's too much to ask for.

Sorry, must have missed this because of all the extra spam on this section of the forum. :(

We've decided to address a couple of other bugs/issues while we fix this, they are working on this now, will let you know when I have a date.

Other bugs?? Surely THIS is the big bug that should be being addressed first??

This has left the game useless for me and the majority of other people i've spoken to. Its pointless playing the game as all original progress has been lost and wy waste time starting again if a fix is on its way??

Sorry but im not buying any DLC until this is fixed. Over a month for such a massive bug is not good enough.

There is quite a turnaround time on creating updates for games as each update has to go through the same submission process as when you first put a game out on a console. Because of this we decided to also fix a few other bugs and this will only impact the eventual release by a few days.

In addition to the other bugs, I wanted to throw out there that something changed with this new version: The worm placement algorithm, it really sucks at spreading worms out now, like all four of my team bunched together, or 2 guys right next to each other on the ledge by water ARGH, its super annoying. Worms used to be fun.. siigh:(

lol it can be annoying, but when it happens to someone else its hilarious, sinking an entire team in one grenade

Nothing has changed with this afaik. Worm placement is random and sometimes it doesn't go very well, I think you've just been unlucky recently.

Something is different, because it was never this bad, and shamefully, I played a lot of worms, never had this many problems. It never before put two worms right on top of each other and never all four within reach of one weapon, now it happens nearly every game. Nothing may have been changed intentionally, but something has affected this aspect for sure. Besides, if this type of placement is allowed in the placement then that is either poor programming or design.

Has anyone else had the problem where the jet-pack sound effect just repeats over and over?

I can't figure out how this new version ever made it through debugging and this rigorous process of re-release you speak of. I'm not trying to be an a-hole, and I know you are being cool about trying to answer questions and concerns, but this is truly frustrating, as we have a PS3 for 3 reasons, blu-ray, netflix and worms 2, it's the only game we play and now it sucks on so many levels. Can't you just give us the old version again?

This game still crashes an unacceptable number of times. Is there an ETA as to when this will be fixed? Any answer other than "We've found the problem and are working on it" would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Yes many times!!! the jetpack sound gets frozen on in the background and u can always hear it going warrhshshshhshsshshshshshshshss

then eventually the game crashes after thats been going on for more than 5 mins

patch eta?

Its been over a month now and still no fix for this bug that's stopping me playing the game that worked fine before. Team17 are getting no money from me until this is fixed, I've never known of another developer who would leave a game so broken for so long!

I was going to purchase all the DLC, i'm not so sure now.

Ok so i just bought the puzzle and forts dlc on the 10th despite the fact its been freezing up every other match. I played through both campaign missions and got all my trophies. The missions were fun and challenging and NO FREEZE UPS! Today i spent another 10 bucks on retro and time attack and wouldn't ya know on mission 4 it froze. I assumed when theese dlc's were pulled from psn they wouldn't return until theese bugs were taken care of. Do i need to dust off the old dreamcast to get my worms fix? I hate to keep crashing my system every time i play. HELP ME TEAM 17 i hope you have teams working round the clock to resolve this issue :)

Don't hold your breath. Team17's been purposely avoiding the freezing topic. I can only assume it's because they don't plan on addressing it at all (or don't know how) and are hoping our complaints will just fade...

I was just playing Forts Mission 18 and the sound totally cut out

EDIT: And I got the trophy afterwards which popped up with the sound effect so it wasn't my TV or HDMI cable.

I had this too. The music still played, but the voices and sound effect were gone. Then the music eventually died too. Even the main menu was silent. I tried tinkering with the settings, but the only fix was resetting the game.

I'm still waiting to get my weapons and levels back. I really miss my Holy Hand Grenades.

Still getting random lock-ups too.

looks like it

Freezing and lockup issues are getting fixed, we have been waiting feedback from our external testers so we could get dupms from the game. We are not ignoring this. Will update when I have more info.
