The game lost all its attention quickly, and as a result we have stopped getting information about future patches or bug fixes.

Team17, what are you doing right now? I hope you're trying to fix a quite broken game.

I think what they're doing right now is sitting at home. Y'know, because it's the weekend.

Having said that, I'm sure they are working on patches/updates for WUM. They probably just thought it was better to wait till they'd actually finished the next patch rather than telling us every few days "Yep. Still working on it."

Have patience. We may well get a new patch by the end of next week. If not, I'm sure Bill will at least tell us what's happening (unless he's off sick/on holiday).

When did T17 ever talk about upcoming patches and bugfixes, outside of betas? I'm pretty sure they made it a policy not to talk about them, except for a vague "We'll see what we can do" like with the W3D versus maps.

Yes, they just keep saying "we'll forward this to the team", "we'll have fix soon" and it's been over a week since the last update.

>Implying that it's easy to make a landscape generator and landscapes.
Dude, they are working, it's not just "Oh we want W3D Versus maps!" and patch comes after a minute you say it.

Did they ever say there'd be a W3D landscape generator? BillT17 only said he'd "See what he could do" about the 3D campaign maps not being playable in versus, he never said anything about a landscape generator.

The game description said 12 game themes, we're only getting 5, and Phantom, where did you get the minute after thing? The game released at the end of september, I made a thread about the W3D maps not being available for versus on the day of release, and much, MUCH longer than a minute later there's no patch.

No, we are not getting 5.....Story mode has the W3D themes in (war,horror,england,space,pirate,snow) and we have the worms 4 ones also (medieval,wildwest,prehistoric,arabian,contruction )....they never said we will be getting 12 themes for multiplayer they just said 12 themes are in the game....

If they did that that's sickening, why would you lie to your fans like that?

It doesn't make sense, I don't think they would do something like that...

I would expect it from some of the bigger companies, sure, like EA, but not T17...

It's been a week since I posted this thread, and still a huge load of bugs aren't fixed yet.

If they're not going to be fixed by next week, I'm requesting a refund.

They made a very tiny update, it just fixes the black screen and that's it, I'm satisfied about it even though it's small, it proves they're actually doing something about it. And yeah, I always disliked that stupid black screen bug myself.

No. I was misinformed and the product is faulty. I think those two reasons are good enough for a refund.

Well, if I don't get it, I'll just never buy a Team17 game again.

Okay, I'll bite: what were you "misinformed" about, and how is the game faulty outside of minor, non-game-breaking bugs.

Keeping in mind that pre-release interviews don't count, and neither do technically-true-but-misleading statements like "there will be 12 themes".

Team17 promised all Worms 3D and Worms 4: Mayhem content in one game, and lots of graphics updates. We got only the Worms 3D campaign and half the graphics updates they promised.

The game is unplayable for me thanks to the FPS cap and horrible optimisation (while my system is way better than the one on the minimum system requirements), I can't play online thanks to problems and any kind of anti-aliasing makes explosions disappear.

EDIT: Alright, I'll just complaining because I don't want to be annoying. But I'll just say I'm extremely disappointed with Team17.

Unless I'm mistaken, you were part of the beta and got the game for free. And now you are requesting a refund.

Well yeah, you aren't quite so smart pre-ordering a game before trying it for free during the beta, eh?

I'd probably be rich (for my standards) if I could get a refund for every game just because I don't like it and its contents or because it's not running with high graphics settings.

I did not get the game for free, plus I only got to play the three tutorial levels in the beta. Quit being a smart-ass.

They aren't responsible if your game runs badly on ultra settings. Turn the settings down. Problem solved.

They are responsible for placing a FPS cap though.

Phantom
17 Oct 2011, 17:25
Yes and? So what if you can't max out 65406546540FPS?

It looks like you haven't read my other posts on this forum, so I'll inform you. Anything under 60 FPS somehow looks bad on my computer, and Worms Ultimate Mayhem has a 45 FPS cap, making it look like 10 FPS.

If they want a FPS cap, why don't they limit it to 60 FPS at least?

Sorry for the late response, but...

YOU misunderstood MY post.

You said that they're working. They said literally the day after the release they were working on a fix.

I'm not so much of an idiot to think that as soon as I say something it'll happen, but 20 days? Seriously? It doesn't SEEM like it would take a huge amount of code to fix, but 20 days is just unreasonable.

Obviously they are NOT working as hard as they should be, even a company like EA who barely does anything for their games would have a fix out by now.

It's not like it's a "tiny" bug. I would understand if it was a tiny bug, but 30+ maps? That's not tiny, that's flippin huge. That's lots of content.

So before you start saying that I misunderstood your post, perhaps you should read mine again, hm?

Contents? EA would never release contents as a fix. Be glad that Team17 are going to implement the rest of the themes for free rather than releasing them as a theme pack for $2 each.

Don't tell me it's that hard to remove a FPS cap. It shouldn't even be there. Besides, lots of people are complaining about it.

But, is there an actual fps cap? Because with V-Sync disabled my fps is at 60 as it's supposed to.

The game does seem to be badly optimised, but I can reach up to 80-90FPS with vsync disabled

Phantom

80-90FPS?
Sir you are running one hell of a monster machine.
I get 30fps maximum with VSync forced off with 640x480 and 1x AA and 1024 shadows.

Yup Phantom u stay out of this, obviously tor absolutely in love with team 17 and according yo you they can't do anything wrong and are always right and making the best games.
With that said, yes a month AFTER RELEASE AND STILL NO UPDATE!!! THIS IS ABSOULTELY RIDICULOIS TEAM 17. WTF R U GUYS DOING??? ANY OTHER GAME WOULD BE FIXED BY NOW BUT US WORMS PLAYERS R STUCK WITH EITHER THE LAZIEST OR DUMBEST (I CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHICH ONE) GAME DEV'S IN THE WORLD!!
Ok that caps rant is over. Team 17 one line of code will make ur game fun again..delay your tidiculous team weapon in ranked matches. It's not even fun right now cuz u get newbs who use it constantly n it takes everyone out. ONE LINE OF CODE TEAM 17 TO FIX THAT...1 LINE!!! RIDICULOUS
