The latest update is [http://www.gamefront.com/games/worms-armageddon/downloads/worms-armageddon-v3721-update v3.7.2.1] (formerly at [http://wa.team17.com/main.html?page=supp&area=upda&file=15 the official website]). It is a result of Team17's permission given to two community members, Deadcode and CyberShadow, to update and patch the game. Other than fixing a multitude of bugs and adding some new features, the game is now more compatible with newer systems. These patches are not compatible with some versions of the game, however (downloaded versions, such as TryMedia).

Essential improvements

Patches

Official patches

Patch v3.0 for the European release synchronizes the game to the later American version and fixes multiple bugs. It is available at ftp.team17.com, www.moddb.com and at soggi.org.

Official graphics update (Team17 FTP; not required for patches v3.5.x.x onwards)

The latest update is v3.8.1 (formerly at the official website and the Team17 FTP). It is a result of Team17's permission given to two community members, Deadcode and CyberShadow, to update and patch the game. Other than fixing a multitude of bugs and adding some new features, the game is now more compatible with newer systems. These patches are not compatible with some versions of the game, however (downloaded versions, such as TryMedia).

The in-game settings menu is rendered in 640×480 resolution but the game itself is rendered at selected resolution. That however can be fixed with the "SuperFrontendHD" Wormkit module.

Notes

  1. SafeDisc retail DRM does not work on Windows 10[4] or Windows 11 and is disabled by default on Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 8.1 when the KB3086255 update is installed.[5]
  2. 2.0 2.1 When running this game without elevated privileges (Run as administrator option), write operations against a location below %PROGRAMFILES%, %PROGRAMDATA%, or %WINDIR% might be redirected to %LOCALAPPDATA%\VirtualStore on Windows Vista and later (more details).
  3. 3.0 3.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/217200/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (217200) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
