[SOLVED] Worms Reloaded : Crash on Startup on Windows 10

[WhiteSlash]

Hey guys,

After 2h of digging and looking around, I finally got a working solution that was dumb as hell...

I'm playing on windows 10 x64 family edition. (and the game used to work on my old vista computer)

My problem was an instant crash when I started the game, I tried all of the below :
- Compatibility mode
- Administrator mode
- Combination of both of the above
- Updating Graphic card drivers
- Updating all drivers
- Checking that the game booted on the nvidia graphic card and not integrated intel
- pulled out some hair from my head...

In the end, what did I do ? I SIMPLY ADDED ONE LINE IN THE DEFAULT.CFG !!! Like, wtf is that ?
My file is here : D:\Programs\SteamLibrary\SteamApps\common\Worms Reloaded
And I added this line in it :

/LOG:ERROR

And suddenly it started to work... I just can't explain it, it doesn't make sence, but well, it works now.

I hope that this will help some of you who may be facing this problem :)

(yes I'm creating a thread so that future players that might have the problem can find the fix easily on google, because none of the thread with this solution would pop up, because they were badly named)

Wow. My game was crashing after the Team17 logo screen and your suggestion fixed it. Thanks! How did you come up with the fix btw? It seems so random.

Glad to see that my thread wasn't useless ! And I dug around weird forums and lost myself deep in the internet to find this answer, that's why I wanted to add it directly in steam forums ;)

Holy crap, it works. Game crashed for me after logo, and couple times went in the menu but performance was very very bad...added this line and voila! Thanks

I've tried this code and it till isn't working for me. Am I putting it in the right place?
The order goes as follows:
/RUN:WormsPSP
/CONFIG:local.cfg

Do I put it in below the 2nd one? Or after it? Or is this not the right spot? I had to choose notepad to open the file...

[WhiteSlash]

Yes That's where I added it. But maybe it's not the same problem then ^^'

Alright. I thoght so. I wish I could figure it out :(
