Missing Registry Entries

[Karl Perkins]

I uninstalled the game and removed all of its registry entries. A fresh install does not add them back. I'm refering to the entries related to the game itself. The steam library related entries for WWP are always added back after a fresh install.

Any ideas? (Windows 10)

Greetings Karl,

Besides the missing entries, is the game not launching?

Hey. Indeed, the game does not launch as intended. A black window appears in the top left corner of the screen for a few seconds and then the game exe shuts down without any error message popup.

This began when I set the resolution to 640x480 (which my monitor and graphics card support) via the ingame options. I was hoping that removing the registry entries would force the game to revert back to the default of 1280x720, since just disabling the steam cloud service and reinstalling the game did not do so.

Greetings Karl Perkins,

Can you try to run the game as an administrator and in compatibility mode?

1. Launch Steam
2. From the Library section, right-click on the game and select Manage > Browse local files
3. Right-click on the games .exe file
4. Choose Properties
5. Navigate to the Compatibility tab
6. Select Compatibility Mode and in the dropdown list please select Windows XP/Windows 7/Windows 8.1
7. Check the box for Disable display scaling on high DPI settings
8. Check the box for Run this program as an administrator
9. Select Apply and OK
10. Attempt to run the game

That does not help with game registry entries not being added after a fresh install.

As for starting the game, results remain the same with any combination of compatibility boxes checked or unchecked.

Edit: I've solved the problem by deleting the save folder from the worms world party folder. The game starts and seems to run as usual. Thank you for trying to help though.

Hi davidR.V,

Sorry to hear you're also having this issue.

It looks like Karl Perkins solved their issue by deleting the save folder from the worms world party folder.
Can you please do this and test your game?

You can go here:
:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\WormsWorldParty\save

or you can right-click the game and go to properties - local files - browse.
Delete the 'Save' folder.

We hope this helps!
