1. SOLD OUT SOFTWARE QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE
***********************************************
Loading computer games can sometimes be a daunting task. We here
at Sold Out Software try to make the installation of our games
as quick, simple and effortless as possible. To aid yourself in
the installation of this piece of software it is helpful that you
have at hand certain bits of information regarding your
system set-up.
1. The drive letters associated with your machine:
All computers have letters assigned to different drives. By
default your 'floppy' drive will have the letter A:\ assigned to
it, your hard drive will be C:\ and your CD-ROM will be lettered
D:\. If, let's say, you have more than one hard Drive then it is
most likely that the second hard drive would be D:\ and your
CD-ROM would have E:\ assigned to it.
To avoid confusion, it is recommended that you familiarise
yourself with the letters assigned to your computer's drives
before trying to install your game. To do this, click on the
'My Computer' icon on your Windows desktop with your right
mouse button and then select 'Explore' with the left mouse
button. The left-hand window will contain all your drives and
applicable letters.
2. When we specify 'default directory' it means the directory
and drive that the game installation has been pre-set to install
to. You may change the installation directory if, let's say, all
games are installed to a directory called 'Games' on
your system.
*****************************************************************

5. LAST MINUTE INFORMATION & FAQ's
***************************************
Installation Issues
===================
Why can't I get the game to install and play on Windows 95 or
Windows NT?
Worms 3D has been developed specifically for
Windows 98/Me/2000/XP. It is not recommended to attempt an
installation under Windows 95/NT as they are not supported.
Is it possible to install and play the game on Windows XP 64-Bit
Edition?
Whilst Worms 3D should install and run under this particular
platform the game has not been extensively tested. We cannot
guarantee usage within this particular environment.
Why do I get an 'Incompatible Version of RPC Stub' error during
installation?
This problem may be related to an incompatible DLL version
being detected on your system. Check
http://support.installshield.com for further information and
solutions to this particular problem.
How do I manually delete registry key entries from a corrupted
installation?
If you are having problems reinstalling the product (due to
legacy registry keys after a corrupted installation) in isolated
cases you may have to remove the entries manually. This problem
may also prevent an install removal due to a Worms 3D entry
being unavailable within the Add/Remove Programs section of the
Windows Control Panel. The error can typically happen due to a
system crash occurrence during an earlier installation rendering
an inability to remove some game portions successfully
(preventing a reinstall).
Please note that if you are unsure how to achieve this do not
manually delete any registry key items. You may severely damage
Windows or installed applications and in extreme cases make your
system totally unusable. In order to achieve manual deletion you
will have to utilise the Windows Registry Editor.
- Select start and then Run…
- Type regedit in the Open: box and select OK
- Select HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and then Software
- Select Team17 and delete the Worms 3D registry key
- Select Team17 Software Ltd and delete the Worms 3D registry
key
You may also have to manually delete InstallShield temporary
setup files to allow a successful game reinstall. Please take
extreme care when attempting folder removal.
- Select C:\ and then Program Files
- Select Tools and then Folder Options…
- Select View and then Advanced Settings
- Enable Show hidden files and folders and select OK
- Select InstallShield Installation Information
- Delete folder entry {8874FD36-7C9D-4573-8956-E368D6753D90}
- Run the setup.exe file located within the actual folder if you
wish to confirm the entry is for Worms 3D prior to deletion
Game Issues
===========
Why do I get a 'Please insert the Worms 3D CD 1' message when
attempting to play?
Please ensure that you have CD 1 correctly inserted and
accessible within your system. If your system has more than one
CD-ROM drive installed insert the disc in the other drive and
re-run the game. Please note that it will not be possible to run
the game with CD 2 inserted.
I am trying to play and all I get is a 'VXD' error, why is this
happening?
If launch problems occur with virtual drivers (VXD's) it may
relate to the following.
- Your primary hard disk (C:\) may be low on free space.
- If a device related error occurs you may require a specific
driver update.
Must I complete all training sections before progressing on to
missions?
It is possible to play missions without completing the training
section. Please remember if you wish to unlock 100% of game
items you must complete the training section.
Is it possible to create and input my own individual worm
skins/clothes?
It is not possible to create and input your own individual worm
skins into the game.
I want to turn blood effects on just like in the 2D version, is
this possible?
There is no option to turn on blood effects nor are there any
plans to implement such.
My start icon is greyed out when playing between rounds, why is
this?
This is directly related to utilising a pre-rendered landscape
for your game as opposed to a randomly generated one. To enable
the highlight on the start icon in order to play the next round
generate a random landscape and then reselect the custom one.
Is it possible to perform a replay of a shot within the game?
Due to the complex nature of Worms 3D engine mechanics and
physics coupled with memory requirements, it is not possible to
perform a replay of a shot within the game.
When I play the game it will crash when FMV is played, how can I
solve this?
If you have background programs running, there may be conflicts
when an FMV sequence is played. It is recommended that you close
all other PC programs prior to playing the game.
Why is there no bounce option for grenade type weapons?
During the development of the game it was decided that the
bounce setting option was unnecessary when playing in 3D and it
was subsequently removed.
Why don't flames burn down the landscape like in the 2D version?
This is due to memory requirements for the Worms 3D environment
and it will not be possible for flames to perform this
particular function and cause land deformation. Flames also
dissipate more quickly than within the 2D version.
Why does the game not run when I press play on the game
launcher?
In severely isolated cases this may be related to an
incompatibility with the SecuROM disc protection system that is
incorporated within the game. Please note that problems such as
these are an extremely rare occurrence as this protection method
is the most compatible on the market (with a rate of > 99.9%)
offering support for 400+ CD/DVD based devices.
Remember to ensure that you have exhausted all other methods of
support or possible solutions such as updating video, audio and
motherboard drivers prior to contacting SonyDADC (producers of
SecuROM) directly. Their support representatives will only be
able to advise you and ultimately respond to issues that are
SecuROM specific.
SecuROM protected games incorporate an inbuilt program to
establish drive compatibility which may be simply launched by
following these guidelines.
- Ensure that the Worms 3D CD 1 is in your local CD/DVD drive
- Select the worms3d.exe file on the root of CD 1 with the right
mouse button
- Select Launch Analysis within the displayed menu
- Within the disclaimer window select Yes to proceed and
commence analysis
- A file AnalysisLog.sr0 will be generated within the root of
your C:\ drive
- Zip the file and attach it to an email along with a brief
explanation of your problem
- Send the email directly to SonyDADC at [email protected]
- SonyDADC customer support will be able to establish your
drive compatibility and respond to your enquiry
Why do I get an error after the SEGA logo just as the Team17
logo displays?
As audio is initialised when this logo is displayed, this may
be directly related to a problem with your sound drivers. It is
recommended to perform an update of your sound drivers.
Graphic Issues
==============
I am trying to play and the game returns straight back to the
desktop, why?
Your video card possibly may not have enough memory. If you
attempt to run the game with less than the minimum required
amount of video memory (32Mb) you will experience problems. If
this is not the case and your device has enough available video
memory an update of your video card drivers may be required.
When I play the game it stutters and is running very slowly,
why is this?
If the game runs very slowly this may be related to a number of
causes.
- Your video device is incompatible
- Your video device or system does not meet minimum requirements
- A video driver update may be required from your manufacturer
- In game screen resolution may be set too high affecting
performance
- Screen refresh rate is low and may require increasing within
the game launcher
Firstly check that your video device is compatible and that your
system meets the minimum requirements. The next step is to
update your video drivers, lower the in game resolution and
increase your screen refresh rate accordingly. Remember to check
within your manufacturer documentation that your screen display
is actually capable of displaying a higher refresh rate.
What video chipsets are supported?
Support for the following video chipsets has been incorporated
and thoroughly tested for compatibility and stability during
initial game development.
- ATI Radeon Series
- Matrox Parhelia Series
- NVIDIA GeForce, GeForce2, GeForce3, GeForce4, GeForce FX,
nForce1 and 2 Series
What video chipsets are unsupported?
Whilst some of the following video chipsets may work they have
not been thoroughly tested during game development so we
therefore cannot guarantee 100% compatibility.
- 3Dfx Voodoo Series
- 3Dlabs Permedia, Oxygen and Wildcat Series
- ATI Rage, Mobility and FireGL Series
- Cirrus Logic CL Series
- Intel integrated and I Series
- Matrox G Series
- NVIDIA TNT, TNT2, GeForce Go, GeForce4 Go, GeForce FX Go,
nForce3, nForce3 Go, Quadro, Quadro4, Quadro FX and
Quadro FX Go Series
- PowerVR KYRO I and II Series
- Rendition V Series
- S3 Savage and Virge Series
- SiS integrated and Xabre Series
- Trident Blade and Cyberblade Series
How do I utilise extra features on my display device such as
pixel shaders?
The game does not have any extra effects or detail options that
are modifiable and all are enabled automatically. If you
experience performance problems such as poor frame rate it is
recommended to reduce your display resolution within the
launcher program prior to play.
Sound Issues
============
The sound seems distorted when playing, why is this happening?
You may have reverb set to ON within your sound card settings,
this may cause problems.
- To disable the reverb option access Mixer or Volume in the
system sound menu
- Click WaveSynth or Synth section
- Ensure that Reverb MUTE or Reverb OFF function is selected
Alternatively this could be related to poorly set bass and
treble options.
- To disable these options access Mixer or Volume within your
system sound menu
- Click Bass and / or Treble section
- Ensure that settings are at a similar level or set to personal
preference
If the aforementioned fails to alleviate your problem or you do
not have the options available then it might be sound driver
related and an update may be required.
Is it possible to use my own background audio tracks within the
game?
It is not possible to insert your own audio tracks into the game.
I want to use my own Worm voice speech samples, how do I achieve
this?
It is not possible to insert your own Worm voice speech samples
into the game but this may be addressed in a future release
update.
Control Issues
==============
I wish to change my keyboard and mouse configuration, how do I
achieve this?
It is not possible to alter keyboard and mouse configuration
within Worms 3D. The layout has been optimised so that all
players on a single system are able to access the more familiar
keys easily. The control layout has been established from
continuous feedback given during initial game development.
There is an option to use a 16 button PC joypad, how may I
achieve this?
The best method in order to utilise a 16 button PC joypad for
the game is to purchase one of the many commercially available
Sony PlayStation Dual Shock pad adapters for your computer. The
aforementioned feature was included during the development
stages primarily for the testing of pad configurations for
console versions of the game. It has been retained as an option
for gamers who prefer this control method as an alternative to
a mouse / keyboard.
Why can't I move around the landscape in FPS view?
It is not possible to move in FPS (first person) view as this
mode is designed and primarily used for general spotting and
targeting only.
Using my mouse feels unresponsive, what could be the cause of
this?
Refer to your mouse profiling software as you may have to
increase the movement sensitivity level setting as it may
possibly be defaulted to a low value.
Wormnet/Network Issues
======================
I can't seem to play on the Internet through a firewall, what
is the problem?
You will not be able to play via the Internet if you cannot
open access through a firewall as they are designed to protect
a system and will prevent game data transfer. Please contact
your network administrator or ISP and refer to revised port
information. within this document.
I can see other games on the network but can't connect, what is
wrong?
Differing Worms 3D versions aren't fully compatible; the server
will identify other games that have the same version of the game
as you. Games that are utilising a different version will be
shown in a different colour. It is essential that all intended
participants are using the most up to date version of the game
to ensure a successful level of connectivity.
- White game name : Same game version
- Red game name : Different game version
- Grey game name : Connection prevention (such as firewall
detection)
I wish to play via a direct or null modem connection, is it
possible to do this?
There is no support for either direct modem or null modem play.
Worms 3D can either be played on a single system (a Hot seat
game), over a LAN or via Wormnet.
What is the revised port information for Internet connections
and firewalls?
To ensure successful Internet usage the following port
information is provided.
- In game : TCP : 5911
- Front end : UDP : 5911
- GS IRC : TCP : 6667
- GS Search Manager : TCP : 29901
- GS Custom Ping : UDP : 13139
- GS List Request : TCP : 28900
- GS Incoming : UDP : 6500
- GS Heart Beat : UDP : 27900
- GS Connect Manager : TCP : 29900
- Outgoing only: HTTP : TCP : 80
Is it possible to move the blimp camera whilst another player
has their turn?
Yes it is possible to control blimp camera movement whilst
another player is taking their turn in a network game. This
allows you to plan strategies for your upcoming turns, get a
continuous landscape overview and above all miss none of the
action!

6. TROUBLESHOOTING
***********************
Video Problems
--------------
The vast majority of problems that you are likely to encounter
are probably related to drivers that allow the game to make
optimum use of your systems resources. In particular, video
games are most influenced by Microsoft’s DirectX drivers, which
are responsible for various aspects of your system including:
video, sound, controller input, 3D graphic functions, CD ROM
access and other functions. If you do experience problems,
always ensure that you are using the latest drivers for these
devices, and that your DirectX installation shows these devices
as being certified (with DXDIAG).
CD-ROM Problems
---------------
Make sure that the CD-ROM disc is in the correct drive, with the
label facing upwards. The CD-ROM disc must be in the drive to
install or run the game. If you have two CD-ROM drives, the CD
must be placed in the drive whose drive letter comes
alphabetically first for the game to work.
Ensure that the CD-ROM disc is free from any markings or
scratches which may interfere with normal operation. If the
disc requires cleaning, gently wipe the surface with a dry,
non-abrasive cloth.
Sound Problems
--------------
Make sure that your speakers or headphones are plugged into the
correct socket, and that the volume control is at an appropriate
level. If you are using powered speakers, ensure that the power
is on.
If you continue to experience problems, ensure that the Volume
Control taskbar icon (depicted by a small yellow speaker)
is present.
Double-clicking this icon will open the Volume Control window.
Make sure that the Wave and Master Volume controls are set at an
appropriate level and that the Mute feature is not enabled.
Debugger detected Error
-----------------------
Q: When I try to launch the game I get the following error:
"Debugger detected - please close it down and restart.
Windows NT users: Please note that having the WinIce/SoftIce
service installed means that you are running a debugger." I do
not believe I am running a debugger. What could be the
problem?
A: This error is caused by DivX 5.1. The issue you have mentioned
is a bug in this release of the DivX codec. The codec is
actually what`s showing the error, and shutting down Blaze
Media Pro because it is erroneously detecting the software as
a debugger. You can resolve the issue by updating to DivX
5.1.1 http://www.divx.com, and you will no longer have this
problem. If you do still have any problems please contact Sold
Out Software Technical Support.
MSVBVM50.DLL Error
------------------
If the error "The MSVBVM50.DLL file is linked to missing export
OLEAUT32.DLL:421." occurs while installing the game.
The error occurs because during the setup process, the
MSVBVM50.DLL file requires a version of OLEAUT32.DLL that is
newer than what comes with the original version of Windows 95.
Therefore you will need to replace this file with the copy
supplied with this software. To replace the file simply
double click on AXDIST.EXE file which can be found in
\SONOW\EXTRAS directory on the CD.
You will also have to restart your computer for the changes
to take effect.
When done, launch SETUP.NOW again and try to reinstall.
