I will keep adding to this thread when we get solutions to common problems with the game.
So let's start this with one of the most common solutions for problems with Steam games.
• If you are having problems getting the game to launch or you are experiencing random crashes, it might be that the game did not install correctly. Please use Steam’s validation check at least twice because sometimes it can report no problems on its first pass.
Verify integrity of game cache
1. Load Steam
2. From the Library section, right-click on the game and select Properties from the menu.
3. Select the Local files tab and click the Verify integrity of game cache... button.
4. Steam will verify the game's files - this process may take several minutes.
5. Once the process is completed, the Check Window will automatically exit.
Been chatting with our support team and the coders and they have put this together.
Update Drivers
Please ensure that before contacting the Team17 support email address, that all of your systems drivers are fully up to date.
Remember to update:
Video Card Drivers
Sound Card Drivers
Direct X
Missing Particles
If particle effects are not appearing for you and you are using an AMD/ATI graphics card, then ensure ‘Anti-Aliasing’ is set to ‘1x (off)’ in the launcher when starting the game. This should fix the issue temporarily and we are currently looking into this issue further.
Black Screen on Start up
If you are having issues starting the game could you please do the following steps:
1. Go to your Steam Client folder
2. Select the ‘Steamapps’ folder
3. Select the ‘Common’ folder
4. Select the ‘Wormsxhd’ folder
5. Run the file ‘RegVideoDLL’
6. Re-Launch Worms Ultimate Mayhem
If this does not solve your issue, then please contact Team17 Support: support@team17.com
Alt + Tab
We are currently aware of the ALT + TAB issue in Worms Ultimate Mayhem and are working on a fix. Until the fix is available it is recommended that users do not use ALT + TAB while the game is running. Users may find ALT + Tabbing while using windowed mode does not have as many issues.

Are you by any chance trying to run the game in 7.1 surround sound? If so, there seems to be an issue with that. Try putting it in just stereo and see if that works please.

UPD: Frezees usually in windowed mode. In FS mode all is ok. Only sometimes it freezes for 1sec.

I think I have 3 problems:
I can't see any effects as: explosions, flares, fire etc. I CAN see them in the little window that shows up in the top right corner.
When I launch a supersheep I can't hear any "whoosh" sounds. (If they are actually there???)
Once, when I won a match in a lan game, I got stuck at this screen. (http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b381/Bananenworst/2011-09-28_00002.jpg) I couldn't click the arrow.

Xbox Live Arcade version freezing
I played a local match (1 human player vs. 1 normal cpu) with custom rules and during the cpu's turn the game suddenly froze :( . This happened twice by now. I have the new Xbox 360 Slim and don't have any freezing problems with other games. I cleared the cache and hope that helps.
When I play story-/mission-mode the game doesn't freeze though.

I was playing against the normal/medium CPU on the Time Flies Map with a custom human team. The game style settings were similar to Full Wormage (every weapon infinite ammo without the weapons that need to be purchased through the item store since i haven't bought them yet). Worms Health 200, I changed the crate settings (don't remember exactly how) and activated the vampire worm, extra explosive animals and super-secret-weapons (or how this is called). Everything else was default I think. Hope that helps.
P.S.: Can you please add / activate 1vs1 ranked matches? It's fun with 4 players as well but it often gets unfair + the online achievements are much harder to get.

Will there rope gameplay like worms 4 mayhem?
For example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m7p4aOS8_sc
If you doing the same in Ultimate Mayhem, worm jumps forward very very high and you can't normally build a girder.
Hope this feature will be in Worms Ultimate Mayhem from Worms 4. A lot of rope players will thank you.

I think they used the air strike. Since it doesn't happen very often (hasn't happened again since then) and since it doesn't happen in normal singleplayer & online multiplayer I think it's not that much of a problem, perhaps there really was an issue with the Xbox cache but I thought I'd let you know.

The computer AI seems to skip it's turn almost every time it gets stuck, even if it has a rather easy shot, but can't finish walking to it's location. I have only really noticed this when wormpot is set to change the friction. At first it was funny, but it's kinda lame to keep killing them when they stand still and don't shoot back. The maps I noticed it first where the pre built Riverboat, and terminal ferocity.
I have also seen that during the campaign. (Joust about it)

Ohh, rules changing is not good idea. A lot of rope gamers will not play WUM because it has another rules of jumping. Worms 4 is better for roping than WUM. But WUM has better network play than W4 (stable connection, PTT, host migration etc). Why can't t17 merge it? Just add old physics of rope jumping in WUM and it will be the best 3d worms.:)

Hello, I have two "problems" with Worms Ultimate Mayhem:
1) Why there is a frameratecap? It makes no sense! 30 FPS With AA? That must be a joke. Please Team17 fix this, please!
2) The Y-Axis is wrong. I know there is a option for this in the menu, but it doesn't have any effect for me. The Y-Axis in First-Person is OK.
Please Team17, fix this with a patch. The rest of the game is very funny! ;)

If I'm right, they made a new engine for that one, tweaking the physics might take too long and they're going to prefer using that time to make yet an other remake.
launcher appears then puts me back to online I've contacted support its been 12 hours with no response
multiplayer games... at least the ranked ones... are acting weird. I finished a game earlier and it showed me and the other guy having over 700,000 points. For about 3 games it showed all players having around 700,000 at the end of the game and i thought it was just a funny hiccup, but now everything seems back to normal for everyone else (0-300 range scores) except it still shows me having 734,000 points... and i assure you i havent played 29,000 games in the last 3 days.
Besides that i've had a few random crashes at the end-game lobby and the leaderboards are not working at all...
edit: now the leaderboards are working and it says i have -23598772364809 points and shows me pretty much in dead last... eek

Wrong Achievement Descriptions / Icons (Xbox Live Arcade)
There's also a translation error for the "If you build it they will die" achievement. In German it's called "Wenn du es baust wird sie stirbt" (~ If you build it she will dying). The correct translation would be "Wenn du es baust werden sie sterben". I don't know if these kind of problems can be patched at all but I just wanted to let you know.
Furthermore the english achievement description for "Ranked Master" is slightly wrong. It says "Win a 40 online ranked matches across any 3 game modes ". I think the "a" is not required. And then there's another problem with the "Ranked Master" achievement. On Xbox Live it shows a 50 on the achievement tile and requires players to win 40 ranked matches. On Steam the achievement tile has a 40 in it and the achievement is only unlocked if 50 ranked matches are won.

I'm in the same boat. I was in two stages of the beta reporting this bug to no avail. It's nothing we can do, Team17 has to patch it. I had the same problem with The Witcher 2, had to wait till patch v1.2 came out to play.

I seem to be having a glitch in the challenge portion of the game. Any weapon affected by wind in the challenges (sniper rifle and shotgun), will randomly go haywire with the look spinning round and/or not being able to move the reticle as if something is tugging from the other side. I've had to let go of the left stick and wait a few seconds before trying again. I have only noticed this during the challenges, but that may be because they are being used multiple times in a row. I was able to complete them despite this, but you may want to see if you can replicate it because it might be a deterrent for newcomers.

The sniper rifle and shotgun have both got a wobble that gets worse at a certain time, its a design thing to make you do your shot quicker. At least I think this is what you are describing.

I understand that, but this is beyond the wobble. It's like the analog stick going berserk. The map in the top left corner started spinning in a 360 degree frantically at one point. It's supposed to wobble around to where it makes it difficult to take the shot, but I'm talking about losing all control. I'd either be zoomed in holding the analog stick to the right and it would not budge as if it was being pulled from the opposite direction or I couldn't even aim because it started spinning out of control. It didn't happen all the time, but it did so at least 1 or twice during each time I attempted the sniper rifle challenge or shotgun challenge.

I just tried it again and got through 1 play-through without it happening. However, the second time it happened again. My worm starts spinning around in a 360 motion. It happened after the 3rd or fourth shot on the sniper rifle challenge. I even let go of all the buttons and then pushed the first-person view again and it started spinning around frantically.
I wanted to make sure it wasn't an isolated issue yesterday. I played Worms 4 A LOT on the Xbox so I knew something was wrong immediately ;)
Right, we will look into it then. Thanks for the extra research.

3 Oct 2011, 15:28
One more thing to add... When I mentioned that I could not pull the reticle to the right, I found out that I can't move it at all. It happened to me twice again and whether zoomed in or out, the reticle sways but I'll hold the analog stick to the left or right and it didn't do anything.
These seem to be 2 separate issues. Either the worm starts spinning around or the reticle cannot be moved. I'm sure they're related somehow though.

I know exactly what you mean, it happens to me and ****es me right off. The second you hold Right trigger to fire the screen/worm spins around uncontrollably and completely messes up your shot.
For the record it isn't just in challenges, it happens everywhere.
Also, not sure if it's just me being crap but the weapon wobble with the shot gun and other weapons make the game too hard and frustrating, i'd rather you got rid of that alltogether, this isn't COD.

No, it's somewhat necessary. The point on having the wobble is so that the shotgun can't just hit any enemy any distance away.

Try this maybe:
Hi! I found a fix that might work for some of you. Uninstalling the Logitech drivers is not necessary.This fix involves sending the sound through "stereo mix" and then to your headset. You need an integrated soundcard for this fix.
Follow these steps:
1. Right click the sound icon in the right, bottom corner in the system tray. Click "playback devices".
2. Set your integrated soundcard as the default device, by right clicking it and select "set as default device".
3. Next, click the "recording devices" tab at the top. If you can't see "stereo mix", right click anywhere inside the white area. Then click "show deactivated devices". Right click stereo mix and activate it. You might have to restart your computer.
4. Set stereo mix as "default device", then right click it and click "properties". Go to the "Listen" tab at the top.
5. Select "Listen to this device", and choose the G35 Headset.
To test if the sound is playing through your headset, go to "playback", right click your integrated soundcard and click "test".

Hi, i experienced some separate freezing issues in two local vs. games. Custom rule set applied, deathmatch mode. Maps were arabian and camelot.
Custom rule set:
Worm health 150
health crate amount 50
turn time 90sec
rounds :2
round time 10:00
Ammo
everything unlimited ammo (it was a testing mode to teach a couple of new player the weapon handling.)
We've noticed that on both occurrences the freeze kicked in when the game had to change camera modes, first freeze we were switching to blimp cam to home in a homing missile, second freeze occurred when an airstrike was initiated, right on the start of the bombing cut-scene.
I've played several story missions, so far i haven't experienced the freezes there, only in local Vs. games.
These freezes are severe, forcing us to do a hard reset on the console.
Any advice regarding this issue, or patch info?
We'd love to get back to playing without being afraid we can't even finish a match of two rounds :-/
Thanks in advance all!

Hi Bill,

I too have a Logitech G35 headset. I'll try the Stereo Mix as Listening Device trick later on, it's worked before for some much older games.

It's possible that my recurring freezes happen during an automatic camera change (new camera angle loading), but they definitely are not always linked to a manual camera change. Sometimes I'll be just walking. Sometimes it's not even my turn.

PC or 360 version?
360. Really annoyed that this didn't unlock.

So far, the "Worms 3D" (the very first 3D) best except for the graphics, the view from the top and the lack of clothing
When my worms spawn in a new game sometimes they're stuck in a wall or the environment in general. Not because of Nail Tail.
I have also had problems with the camera sometimes spinning 360 degrees when I tried shooting the rocket launcher. I play with my friend split-screen all the time and not once has he had the problem; it only happens to me. Doesn't happen in any other game I play.
Another problem I had was when I was playing online, the Crate Spy wouldn't work.

Could you please comment on the absense of the Pirate soundbank amongst others. Don't tell me you have removed content from the game to charge us at a later date...

I was playing against somebody last night and they ninja roped up to a wall (twice) and let go. Instead of falling to the ground they stuck into the wall (both worms in seperate locations) and he couldn't move and therefore got terrorized.

Hi, there are several mistranslations to French in the game.
I just remember about:
- "Welcome to Worms: Ultimate Mayhem" -> "Bienvenue à Worms: Mayhem Ultimate". Mayhem Ultimate eh? It should be "Bienvenue dans Worms: Ultimate Mayhem"...
- At the end of mission 23 in W4 Campaign, there is a message about the "nice crossing". But in French it has been translated to "Quelle belle évangélisation !" instead of "Quelle belle traversée !". Évangélisation is the "religious" crossing...

I don't hear the Worms speaking in the Worms 3D Campaign (cutscenes) - is this normal or another bug?
When can we expect a patch (Xbox Live Arcade)? The biggest issue are still the insane loading times...

It's normal.
For the patch, I don't know.

People have voiced their oppinions on this and team17 have said nothing...
The loading times is a big contribution to the few reasons i don't play it anymore.

The "Clock Watching" (20G - Try and beat all the set times across all the challenges.) achievement from the Singleplayer Pack DLC on Xbox 360 doesn't unlock when all the Team17 times are beaten.

I thought I would re-post this here since Team 17's support is not working during Christmas.
"I was prompted to update my drivers, so I did. When I play the game through Steam, though, it seems the only visuals I get are the loading sprites. I can navigate the menus blindly, but anything I hit leads to more black screen. I can hear the sounds of the game, but I only get black screens anywhere that isn’t a loading screen.
I hope I’m being clear enough.
I have an Intel Integrated Graphics card. It’s a newer one, but I can’t be sure which one it is.
Intel Core i3 processor.
Windows 7 64-bit
4GB ram.
Thanks for your help. I was one of the beta testers, but I had to test the game on another computer thanks to this issue. I reported it in mantis way back when but I guess it wasn’t ever properly resolved."
Integrated GPU's were never supported by this game. If installing the latest drivers didn't help, then it is likely that your only hope is to upgrade to a supported graphics card.

Hi I have 2 problems with this game:
- At first place at antyalisingx16 the secondary camera screen gets completely blue, so I can't see nothing on them (on antyalisingx8 there's no problem)
-At second place, really important, I can't complete the 6th campaign from worms 3D, when the video starts it says 2 sentences and the camera zooms in one of my worms. Ok. The problem is that the video does not continue anymore so i get stucked in there I cant restart the mision and go back to the main menu, but I can't do the mision. I have tryed to reinstall it, to change the settings, but it didnt work. Please Fix This.
My computer caracteristics:
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate (x64bits)
RAM: 8GB
CPU: Intel I5
GPU: Nvidia GeForce Gts 450

Hello,
Yesterday I played Worms:Ultimate Mayhem but my internet connection broke and so I decided to play some 3D Missions.
Today I starded the game again and all teams, weapons, configurations and everything else is gone. My Achievements and Stats are still on Steam but not in the game.
Please help, I don't want to do the game all over again!
Greetings
Sounds to me as if you downloaded the old savegame datas from the Steam Cloud after you went online again - in that case all your progress is unrecoverable, I'm afraid.

As simple as that, No map textures show up, only map and worms and some effects, I also had a weird file containing errors in my Worms directory. I have this game on Steam.

Hope it helps to fix the bug.

It really ****ed me off that they never fixed this. It's the reason i never bought the DLC and no longer play the game.

Wait. So you don't play the game that you do have, because the DLC that you don't have has a broken achievement?

It's all because of the gamerscore. Xbox users are crazy for completing all their achievements.
(Also he probably finds the game to be boring without the DLC but is afraid of buying it because of the achievement that would ruin his $c0r3.)

I have the exact same issue. I just downloaded Worms: Ultimate Mayhem from Steam. However, once I began playing a quick game and then tried a game in the story the items and the worms appear in the level, but the entire terrain is nonexistent (I only see the water background, the worms, and the items/props around them). The terrain was one of my very favorite parts of the game originally too!
Hmm...
Two suggestions:
1: It may be a problem with the download. Validating the game files (in Steam, right click Worms Ultimate Mayhem -> Properties -> Local Files tab -> Verify Integrity Of Game Cache) will check for file problems and re-download any broken files.
2: Less likely, but make sure that your graphics card drivers are up to date.

I go to play a map and all the terrain is black. I can only see water and the worms. I have only just installed the game. I am running on Windows 8 if that effects it

Um, hello. I have some kind of problem. The game is unable to play its videos, and when I looked in game's log file I've found this.
"14861 | ***Error : Rendering not initialised
20162 | ***Error : Failed to create memory buffered filter
20165 | ***Error : Unable to initialise movie player!
20168 | ***Error : Rendering not initialised
29388 | ***Error : Rendering not initialised"
How to fix these errors? P.S. The game itself is working almost perfectly.
