So, opinions?

Worth the purchase?

Ask again in a few months as they might fix it by then.

I would say so personally. Already had 5 hours on it. Cannot see myself getting bored with it especially as a few mates are getting it in as well now. Few bugs but it is working fine for me. The browser is rubbish but it is very easy to host your own games which is what I do.

so what do i do about lack of sound?

Spunj99 · 26 Aug 2010 at 18:09

Why does it get stuck at "Loading...please wait" whenever I hit start game on a 1 on 1 private match?

I'm probably going to get 2 further copies for my children if it helps

Played some more of the campaign this morning and loved it. Sounds like if you are an experienced WA veteran you may not like it though so buyer beware I guess

I love the game
Only thing i hate is

cant play with 8 worms

Menu is rubbish, takes forever to go through every weapon in a custom game mode and set the values, hopefully someone will fix that.

multiplayer server browser is rubbish but i can live with it.

That's really

great. I appreciate your

opinion. But I have to ask
why the ridiculous sentance

structure?

Anyway, I'm not buying cos everyone's so up in arms. I see a Steam sale very shortly.

Just because of Worms Reloaded???

After the first game i always get a stupid hissing sound, really annoying got to quit the game for it to stop, hope its gets sorted.

SkeeterUK · 26 Aug 2010 at 20:14

Worms doesnt need that lol i get 60+ fps on a gtx 260. Tho i have heard their is a fps bug which causes slow downs big time but its a bug not the game really cos a lot of ppl are fine.

i had sound issues, i had to set my speaker set to stereo. It was 5.1 before. but i dunno what your case might be

Set in Windows you mean or in game?

For anyone thats having problems with jerky gameplay or slow downs create a afterburner profile with the clocks set 1mhz above stock and apply it.

when you play this game it uses the same clocks as playing youtube vids etc so my card sits at 500 core and 900 memory (asus 5850) upped the clocks by a few Mhz above stock and now it's smooth as silk with no problems at all

just thought i'd share if you haven't already tried

It was worth a try, but even with my GTX470 at 850 core the entire time, it still gets random slowdown. I don't think it's an issue with my computer, more Worms...

weird i've not had a single problem after upping the stock clocks to stop powerplay kicking in and out. get a constant 60fps

still early days tho so keep your eyes open for other 470 users who might be/not be having problems

Is it worth setting up a ocuk steam group for this?

antijoke · 27 Aug 2010 at 09:13

I think you should. I had a go round my mates house last night, and I loved it!

We just set everything to unlimited, and it was a laugh a minute! I forgot how funny the holy hand grenade is.

I'm defo buying this on Tuesday and would love to play with some other people online.

PapaLazaru · 27 Aug 2010 at 09:20

I have a couple of mates who are reporting problems. One cannot even get the game to run properly on a pretty decent setup.

Maybe it is just luck, but I have had no problems at all.

The voip is screwed and the game browser is a little buggy but the rest of it I am loving.
