Could anyone tell me why I can't play a match which includes me and two of my friends? I can set up a two player match, no problem. But the second we get the third party into the lobby, it boots him.

Sorry if this question has been asked before...

Thanks.

Its been that way for over a year now.

The dev's would rather make more and more DLC than fix the game.

Because the multiplayer functionality of the game is broken.

Read the thread 'Team 17 ruined the multiplayer, I want my MS points back' for the full story.

The headline is that they released a piece of DLC over year ago which crippled the multiplayer bit of Worms.

About a month and a half ago they released an update designed to fix this problem, but it's only a half-arsed fix.
You can only play 3 & 4 player multiplayer if you're all in the same gaming region - UK / Europe / USA etc.

If you have friends from mixed regions, you're screwed.


But don't worry. Team17 are doing fine from cashing in on the overpriced DLC that they're releasing before fixing existing issues. They'll be fine...

I'll tell you what. They better use some of that dlc profit to hire a capable network programmer or something to fix the f@&king game.

UK / Europe / USA etc.
UK is a different region to the rest of Europe?

No idea. Get 2 UK folks into a lobby then have someone from Germany try to join you... that'll answer it prety swiftish. ;)

team 17 dont give a f%$# about their customers, which is why I stopped buying their stuff. I would have purchased just about everything for every platform (as I have the past 15 years), but they continue to give us the finger so F*** 'em

thats what Im thinking.

What the hell happened.

Its like they just gave up caring about what people think of the games.

why bring out DLC week after week
when the game is still broken.

its bullsh*t
