Worms W.M.D crashes after pressing A only on my main Xbox profile (546h played) - tried everything
Hi everyone,
I’m hoping someone has experienced something similar because I’m running out of ideas.
**Console:** Xbox Series X
**Game:** Worms W.M.D
**The problem**
The game launches normally and shows the title screen.
As soon as I press **A**, it immediately crashes back to the Xbox dashboard.
There is **no error message**.
**What’s strange**
✅ The game works perfectly on a **brand new Xbox profile** on the same console.
❌ The game crashes **only on my original Xbox profile**.
✅ Every other game works perfectly on my original profile.
**What happened before this started**
The issue began after a cloud save synchronization.
Since then, every launch on my main profile crashes immediately after pressing A.
**What I’ve already tried**
Deleted local save.
Deleted save data **everywhere**.
Reinstalled the game.
Power cycled the console multiple times.
Played offline.
Selected both **Local Save** and **Cloud Save** when Xbox asked which one to use.
Removed my Xbox profile from the console.
Downloaded the profile again.
Repeated the process after a full power cycle (as requested by Team17).
Created a completely new Xbox profile (the game works perfectly there).
Nothing has fixed the issue.
**Team17 support**
I’ve been in contact with Team17.
They confirmed:
they cannot remove or repair Xbox cloud saves from their side;
my online progression should be stored separately from campaign progress;
they have not seen enough reports of this exact issue to identify it as a known bug.
**My question**
Has **anyone ever seen a game crash only on one Xbox profile like this?**
Could there be some hidden Xbox profile data or cached profile information that survives deleting save data?
Is there **anything else** I can try before giving up?
I’ve invested **546+ hours** into Worms W.M.D and would really like to continue playing on my original Xbox profile.
Any ideas would be hugely appreciated.
Thank you!
