Hello,
I have a problem with Woms World Party, as the screen goes black when I launch it!! Why? Can someone help me please???
I have Windows Vista, does that pose a problem? If so, how can I fix it?

    Hello, regarding the color inversion. I hadn’t found anything until I looked on US forums. It turns out there is a fix that acts as an exe to launch WWP and corrects this issue. One thing, it leaves a message saying it closes all Explorer windows at startup and restarts them once you exit the game. I tested it, and it works perfectly!! After several days of hassle. Here’s the link to download it: http://download357.mediafire.com/wczdgy1blf5g/cjonz3dzwjx/WWP+Colour+Fix.

    You need to put it in the c:\team17\worms world party folder. As for me, once done, I created a shortcut on the desktop and assigned it the game icon. That’s it, hoping this helps you. Bye

    Hi
    I had the same problem and I managed to solve it, so I installed the latest patch from the Team 17 site and then installed it. Finally, just before launching the game, switch to the Windows Classic theme and set the display to a maximum of 1024*768 or 800*600. After that, the game works. It took me two weeks to figure it out, lol.
    Keep me posted if it works for you. Thanks.

        Hello, sometimes you just need to click on the shortcut and go to properties... right-click and choose to run the game under Windows 98, 2000... that way it runs like on an old computer, sometimes it works.

      Bonjour, dès que je double-clique sur l'application, ça me met "Xorms 4 Mayhem a cessé de fonctionner". Aidez-moi à trouver la solution s'il vous plaît, merci d'avance.

    Hello, no I can't help you. Sorry.

    I have the same problem with Worms. I had an issue with Age of Empires 2, I messed around with the graphics card driver and it worked. With Worms, it doesn't work. And that annoys me.

    I think Vista is partly to blame.

    I have an Intel 945 graphics chipset with Vista. I resolved the black screen issue in Worms World Party by installing a driver for XP version 6.14.18.4814 (Dell). However, I have a color inversion problem in the game.

      It doesn't bring much, but I also have this problem: I'm on Windows 7 64, the inversion issue concerns the menu screens, but during a game everything is fine until it suddenly happens = color inversion... not cool... I've never found a solution, despite updating drivers or anything else...

    For my part, I don't have a black screen, but the graphical performance is subpar.. I feel like I'm playing the first version of Worms. With the maximum graphical settings, there’s a color inversion and extreme lag. Unplayable.
    The issue must lie with Vista. Perhaps too much zeal in system protection?

    My problem is that it says congratulations, so I don't know what it is.

    Hello everyone!
    Even on XP, Worms World Party can sometimes display a black screen (+ mouse pointer).
    In my case, I just need to disable my firewall (Kerio) for the game to work.
    I’d like to point out that the built-in firewall of Windows is disabled by default on my machine.
    If you have this issue, under Windows or whatever, you can try
    to disable your firewalls before launching Worms, then re-enable them after playing,
    but be careful:
    YOUR PROTECTION will not be guaranteed during this time!
    As for me, I disconnect from the internet at that moment.
    WHAT WOULD BE GREAT WOULD BE TO FIND AND SPREAD A SIMPLE METHOD
    TO CONFIGURE ACCESS TO WORMS IN THE MOST POPULAR FIREWALLS,
    starting with Kerio since it is obviously one of the best free and recommended firewalls currently....
    Feel free to write to me if you have the solution, as I can't find it anywhere, despite thorough research.
    I’ve seen that we can create filtering rules, but I can't apply it
    specifically to Worms, its processes, and its preferred ports.
    I have no doubt that many of us are in this situation; I find it a shame to discourage players from using an effective and free firewall...!

    THANK YOU ALL....

    Hello,
    my problem is of a different kind but still quite annoying ^_^
    when I try to open the program, I'm either directed to a blank web page, or to a message telling me that the
    error that occurred is not listed.
    or Vista sends me a message saying that my graphics level has an issue, followed by a link to the following site "www.1.kewee.com
    and I can't seem to get out of this dead end -_-'

    For the color inversion: download this (2nd link) and place it in your game folder. It should work correctly afterwards. This is the latest update. It worked for me on Vista.

    Good luck.

    Hello!
    Actually, I need someone who is quite strong in English :D because when I try to install Worms World Party on my Vista and when I click to start it, it normally starts: "an unidentified program wants to access your computer" so I click "allow, I trust this program, I've used it before,...."
    So, yes, indeed I would need someone who is quite strong in English who would be kind enough to translate this text for me please:
    We have detected that Worms World Party is already installed at:
    C:\PROGRA~1\Team17\WORMSW~1" on this computer. Please uninstall or delete it and start this installation again.

    So I cannot install this game, I really need your help because on my Windows XP it worked really well and since then I've become kind of "addicted" to this game lol.
    Thank you for your responses.

    Well, as Yeah said, it's the best solution; making modifications in the game is pointless because instead of helping it to function, it can do the opposite.
    I recommend, otherwise (IF YOU HAVE A CD-ROM, TO INSTALL WINDOWS XP OR LOWER BUT
    SEPARATELY FROM VISTA, THEN AFTER YOU HAVE INSTALLED WINDOWS XP AND DONE WHAT YOU NEED TO DO,
    YOUR COMPUTER WILL OPEN A WINDOW SAYING IF YOU WANT TO GO TO WINDOWS XP OR ELSE TO WINDOWS VISTA)

    Well, I hope you can do it, see you soon.

    MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL

    Hello!

    For the issue with chipiedu5703, the translation reads: "We have detected that Worms World Party is already installed on this computer at the following address: C:\Program Files\team17\worms world party.
    Please uninstall or remove it and restart the installation."

    See you!
