Worms Reloaded

What works

Basically everything: installing, playing, networking.

What does not

Steam will try to install DirectX during first run and that window will crash just after installing. Gnome offered to kill the window and everything went smoothly after that.

Workarounds

What was not tested

I have not succeeded in using the microphone in-game yet. Might be my own fault, though.

Hardware tested

Additional Comments

To get the game running and to avoid most issues, install vcrun2005 from winetricks:
winetricks vcrun2005

Better sound issue fix reported by Adys:
winetricks xact

Crash on login:
Disable Steam Overlay Renderer (rm GameOverlay* in steam folder after opening steam, but before opening Worms)

ATI ISSUES (reported by Callum Fare)

Here's a guide on fixing any Radeon-driver related crashes with Worms Reloaded. This method will execute Worms with the r300g driver, instead of the default r300 driver. This method will (probably) not work for people with a HD2xxx or newer graphics card.

1) Download the r300g libraries: www.mediafire.com/?3mz6711gu36u08j
And extract the archive into your home folder (so you end up with /home/yourname/r300g/)
2) Make a new document on your desktop, or wherever. This will be your shortcut to open Worms. Call the document "LaunchWorms.sh"
3) Paste the script found here into the document: pastebin.com/raw.php?i=dgq9mmrk 4) If you're running 64-bit, then swap /32 with /64 in the driver path.
5) If Steam isn't installed in the default path, edit the wine command appropriately.
6) Save the script, then right click it, go to Properties > Permissions and tick 'Allow executing file as a program'.
7) Double click your shortcut and hit Run. 8) Enjoy playing Worms!

For best results, as always make sure Compiz is off, and use the 2 winetricks fixes also posted.
