buster Looking For Status Send PM Posts: 1 Threads: 1 Money: £3.26 (D) (+ Friend)	Worms Armageddon and Worms World Party were my favourite PC games and it sucks that none of them are compatible with Windows Vista, I mean you'd have thought there would be a patch of some kind to fix it. No wonder PC gaming is dying jeez. I doubt there is a way but if you guys know of one please let me know I miss playing these games they are classics.

Should fix everything. If not there are some registry fixes supplied with the patch that should stop other issues. You should probably check before saying there isn't a patch to fix it Not sure about wwp Make sure your drivers are up to date and W:A is actually patched to the latest version (3.6.28.0).

This time, the compatability issue is real. There is a multitude of problems that people can have when running W:A. Buster, how exactly does W:A not work? W:A had a pathetically low frame rate for me until I updated my Nvidia graphics card to the latest forceware. [quote=Pioneer322] uhh... W:A works with vista i would assume the same for WWP, I guess.

Back to teh point, WA on vista works fine, you may need to disable aero while playing, or run as admin, apart from that should have no major issues. If colour goes funny, minimise WA and open an explorer window. Strangely that works Opinion here, but strongly influenced by experience ATI BLOOMING SUCK! Honestly they are horrible.
