Worms World Party ?

[Countcussy]

I know its getting on a bit, but it was the last good worms game. Does anybody run this on XP with modern hardware? (E.g Dual/quad core, 8xxx Gfx etc.)

Since i built my new rig, I am unable to play this game. It loads OK, but when you start a game, the worms appear on screen, but no maps. The worms are just perched mid air on a black background.

Anyone else having this issue? I thought it could be to do with high FPS, but i have forced v-sync on in NCP (no option in game) but to no avail. Thought about setting affinity to one core to see if that helped but this game will not alt+tab.

I still play this on-line with friends so if anyone can help, it would be appreciated.

Google came up empty, and any WWP forums seem long gone.

Thanks for the quick response. It worked no problem on my old P4 XP rig, so i know XP is not the problem.

I also have it over the LAN at work, all on XP (Ssshhhhh )

I had forgotten about the insert button changing the detail level. I will give it a try. Thanks for the links also.

Thanks for the help. No luck getting it working properly. It seems to function fine, just with messed up gfx.

No matter, looks like Armageddon might be better for me, especially if it now supports higher resolutions. WWP was never going to look that great at 1024x768 on a 24" monitor anyway

I`ll see if i can pick it up from the bargain bins.
