No matter how hard i try, i cant get it to work.

The game Starts an fmw and hangs the explorer procces.
after that... nothing. Frontend runs in the background with no way of getting it on screen.

I dont have acsess to the patches.

Would be enjoeble to finally play this game.

EDIT: Oh bummer, i should have written might not work on Windows 10. Ah maybe mext time eh?

Just install this plugin: https://www.gog.com/forum/worms_series/plugin_windowed_mode_for_worms_2_improve_windows_8_performance
It says "windows 8", but the exact same applies to Windows 10. It fixes fullscreen issues and FPS issues on 8.x/10, and color issues on vista/7. In addition, if you install ReSolution, you will have access to specifying any screen resolution for the in-game environment, as well as zoom the game and resize the window using Alt+Enter and the border.

When i tried using it, frontend.exe does not show up.

might also be because i used compability on the game, possibly

Will this ever be fixed? Still not working under windows 10 :(

Any word on getting this to work? My wife got me this for my birthday, and I can't get it to work for the life of me. :( There has to be a workaround somehow, doesn't there? Anyone try VirtualMachine?

Add me as another who can't launch the game. Blank screen on double-click.

I tried XP SP3 compatibility as suggested (and others) but no go :(

Same problem :(

I've been testing out the game in Windows 10 and even with the patches I had no success in putting it to work. It works excellent on Windows 7 without the need of patches. A future fix for Windows 10 would be great.

I am double-posting as I have an important information to share: the game CAN be played in Windows 10 afterall! There was a solution shared in other thread that I tried out and I can confirm it works!

All you need is the retail version of the game. You install it from the disk and you cut its frontend.exe file and paste on GOG's folder and replace the file. Then you go to its proprieties to setup the compatibility mode to Windows XP Service Pack 3. And that's it! The game will work just like it is suppoused to be! :)

The only bad thing is that you'll need to use the same disc to be able to play the game, otherwise it will complain it is missing.

Haruka_Tavares, thanx!

It works. I recommend to install Patch 1.5 and use wkReSolution 0.4.1 for better resolution.

you said patch 1.5, where can i find it?

same here - running in background but not working..pls fix

Works fine on my Windows XP laptop, the game is really nice :D

I thought GoG is supposed to actually care about their old games working, unlike steam that basically sells just a game files that you yourself have to figure out how to get to work.

This is really disappointing! I thought after over 3 years someone in the company who sold me a game could figure out how to run it. It's not like windows 10 is some obscure linux distro.
