Remote Play Together

[NiedobrySadysta]

I see the W:A and WWP are the only worms games without this function, even first Worms has it. Why is that, and will it be added?

There are no advantages to using this feature other than only having one copy of the game, since you can now add bots in online multiplayer since the latest update.

Mentioned feature is what I'm looking for. I want to play Worms with my friends who did not (and will not) buy the game

If you have any other edition of the game such as CD or GOG, you can play across different editions online. Version or edition does not matter, networking is the same and fully compatible.
If you are using a CD you will need to update it to the latest patch from https://worms2d.info/Latest

The game is very cheap during seasonal sales, and with the amount of user-created content and a dedicated community the best Worms experience there is to this day.

That said, I don't see why Remote Play Together wouldn't work. As of the latest update, released in July 2020, there should be no screen-sharing issues if you enable Windowed Mode in the game settings. My guess is that the storefront has not been updated to reflect the changes.

I mean: I am fan of worms. My friends are not. They will definitely won't buy any edition - but they will want to play with me if I would have one :) if it allows to play by Remote Play Together, I'll buy it - but there is no information about that... That's why I'm looking for a confirmation.

And the same with WWP.

I'll let you know if I get any new information about this. At this point it looks like it's not labelled correctly on the Steam Store and thus you can't use the feature.

For WWP I am unsure because it does not have windowed mode, and its fullscreen renderer may pose a problem.

Remote Play Together would be nice, but it doesn't look like it's supported (that I can tell) and is unlikely to be added.

The game is only about $3-4 when it goes on sale (like it is now), so I've just purchased it as a gift for friends in the past to get them a chance to try it. It also goes on sale on the legit key sites pretty frequently.

There's a dedicated server online but then you need to research how to interact with it. You can also host your own ones but it involves playing around with ports in your router and as such the dedicated one is the lesser headache.

You absolutely can. Why else would there still be an active community?

Gawd, I'm going to have to fire it up to remember so I can explain lol!

So you launch the game, go to multiplayer and click wormnet.

And then learn how to control it through commands from websites. Steam has such tips:

You can download user-made maps and schemes from here:

(or reference them in wormnet to play online!)

Was going to mention Blame The Pixel site but that appears to have died. :(

That's how it works, folks.

If you download WormNAT2 you can host using the normal method, without Hostingbuddy. It's dead simple to install, takes like 10 seconds, and after that it works forever. No messing with ports or memorizing commands.
