Hi, guys!
i don't know if here's an answer for my following question, but english is not my native and i can't read everything here...
I've spent a few hours with dictionary, trying to create this message...
i want to ask you one question:
is it possible to play WA under windows XP?
1. i have WA installed
2. windows XP + serivce pack 2
3. update 3.6.25.1a beta installed
i can connect to WA and i see channels and hosts, but when i am trying to join a host - WA crashes
the same goes when i am trying to play hot seat mode.
i heard it is possible to play under win XP, but how? what i need to do?
thank you for your time.

Try unistalling, reinstaling and applying the patch.

At least, that worked in my case

...
I thought you could play W:a under xp since the Beta 2

Right click the worms shortcut icon (or main one, dont think it matters) and click properties
Go to the compatability tab and there will be a menu of Operating systems to choose. Choose windows 98.

...

compability change has no affect =(
trying to reinstall

Maybe you'll help me to find Beta 2 patch?

You havn't installed the patch?

well, it's here: http://wa.team17.com/main.html?page=supp&area=patc

Install the update aswell as that.

i believe what harry says is correct. you have to apply one update before another, or something like that. i know i've had problems getting it to work a few times before, and all times eventually having success, but sorry, i don't remember precisely how i accomplished this feat. all i can say is that with a little effort, it can be done. it's not that hard. good luck.

i started my experiments... i hope i will be successfull... and i'll share with you how i did...

THANKS AVERYONE!
I DID IT!
first i installed patch
and then update
