I am having problems running Worms Reloaded on Windows 7 64 Bit. I ran the app from Steam. It displays the Team17 logo and then crashes. Why might this be happening?

There is a thread on the steam forums for Vista x64 issues, so this may apply to you. These are the possible solutions they came up with:

  • If you have a soundblaster card then disable it and try and run sound either through another soundcard or motherboard integrated sound.
  • Create a new file in the worms folder named Local.cfg . Create this file within notepad and then just save it as that name. The file should just contain the following "/nosound".
  • Verify the game cache, there may have been an issue with your download. Doing this will check for errors and redownload any files that are corrupt or missing.
