Worms Reloaded Forum

PROBLEM: Prepares to launch and then sits idle, cant even get to a start screen.. nothing really changes. Desktop is still the same, just hangs. Computer doesn't freeze but nothing is booted or attempted to boot with it either.

SOLUTION:"Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable" and "DirectX Runtime - Modern" both work for video and sound. Install this.

Hmm yes i established this as soon as the game came out and have created a ticket

We have confirmed that a number of recent bugs in Steam games are due to changes in the in-game community overlay DLL. For some games, disabling the in-game community feature via Steam's settings is good enough to fix the problem. For other games, that's not enough.

For those, you can go into the Wine Configuration (winecfg) tool via Manage Bottles -> select bottle with Steam -> Control Panel. On winecfg's Applications tab, click Add Application. Select the executable of the Steam game that's having the problem (or just type its filename, like foobar.exe) and click Open. Select the Libraries tab of winecfg. Type GameOverlayRenderer in the "New override for library" edit field, click the Add button, click the Edit button, select Disable, click OK, and click OK. That prevents the in-game community overlay from even being loaded for that game.

If you don't use the in-game community, you might find it simpler to just disable it for the whole bottle. To do that, just skip the above steps involving the Applications tab of winecfg. Just leave it with Default Settings selected, which is how it starts, and go straight to the Libraries tab and proceed from there.

Added to T&T, confirmed working temporarily with minor bugs still. Thanks.

Thanks ken this solved the issue but i only needed to do the .dll part not the disabling in steam settings

Alex

None of these worked for me >.<

well which issue do you have?

Alex

well when ever i launch the game, it does not even launch, it just shows the "Preparing to launch" disappears and crashes 3 seconds later.

do i just delete it?

The Steam client update of a day or two ago has (at least partially) fixed the problem with the in-game community feature preventing games from launching. So, the above workaround may no longer be necessary.

Yes Ken is right work around is no longer required :D
