Problem with Worms Directors Cut

17 February 2002, 20:15

Whenever I try to play Worms DC on my A1200 (Kick 3.0) I get a Software Failure after the game loaded disk 3. Does anybody know how I can solve this problem?

well have you tested with another disk ? maybe the disk you got is broken ...

I had problems with Worms DC when I had my 1200. I can't remember the details but it was a low memory issue.

I never got Worms DC working. As far as I could gather from the documentation DC was actually an optional upgraded version of Worms for high memory machines.

CodyJarrett · 18 February 2002, 17:22

Mmmm - it runs fine from my A1200 hard disk.

18 February 2002, 18:07

Thanks everybody. Maybe I'll try buying a memory upgrade.

Drake1009 · 18 February 2002, 20:25

How much ram does your A1200 have Cody?

I´m having trouble with Worms DC too, but only with Kick 3.0 ! On my A1200 with Kick 3.1 it runs fine

Maybe a Kickstart thingy

And about this : it runs on a plain A1200 with 2 megs chip here

Yes there was a way to run it and I don't remember how :kill Probably, booting with no startup helps for the HD version. Does it run from floppies as well?

RetroMan · 18 February 2002, 22:59

Hmmm, never tried the floppy version

Worms and Worms DC were both written in Blitz Basic, so are very memory hungry.

The first Worms has a bug that if it detects the cd.device, it thinks its the CD32 version!

My A1200 has 32 meg FAST Ram.

Galahad/FLT · 19 February 2002, 01:25

Which has nothing to do with Worms DC as its CHIP memory hungry

Worms DC runs fine on my 1200 with 2mb fast ram and bog standard 3.0 kickstart.
Both from floppy and hard disk.
This is with my original shop bought disks
Drake:It wasnt so much upgraded for high memory machines, it was upgraded for AGA machines, plus it had new featues and lots of cool new weapons

Drake1009 · 19 February 2002, 07:24

Sorry Bgbennyboy. I meant for machines with more memory than standard. I remember being able to get as far as the title screen before it crashed.

19 February 2002, 08:23

That's exactly my problem. It occurs as well when I start WormsDC from HD as when I try to boot it from disk.
