MULTIPLAYER: STUCK ON "LOADING, PLEASE WAIT".

[zhunGamerTTV (人^▽')～]

I've looked everywhere and there seems to be no fix for this problem.
This game is a glitch house. This is the first time I ran it, and it doesn't even work! I have no idea what to do with this thing.

I can barely believe we paid money for this ----. Because it wasn't really worth it, considering you can't even play online with your friends.

We're getting a mixture of the "Ready" error meaning you ready up but the other doesn't see it, and the current scheme says "Downloading Game Style". It doesn't even download anything, of course.
Then now it seemed like it would work and it is stuck on Loading, Please wait.


DO NOT BUY THIS GAME. This is a joke.

I'm experiencing the same problem today! Multiplayer is not working at all right now.

[zhunGamerTTV (人^▽')～]

It pretty much never does. There's no point to this.

We just try playing the game and nothing really happens.
We host, join, and it says Downloading Game Scheme or something of that sort, and the game never starts, it says Loading, Please Wait.
It's like there's some sort of connection error, but no idea why.

have the same problem
but actually is all good....
mhh

[Villiam]

I gave up trying to find matches online months ago, but now I can't even play a quick Fort match with a friend. We can get into the lobby, we can ready and click start, but then it just hangs on the loading overlay in the lobby.
I can't help but feel like this is totally unacceptable. I want this to work or to get a refund.

I think even though Steam hates giving out refunds, you'll have better luck with that. Team17 doesn't like replying regarding this subject.

Friend bought me this game and it won't even work to play with him, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. I'm gonna do a support ticket so he can get his money back atleast.

In case you're still looking for a solution I found a working one somewhere on the steam community site.
The problem (as with my friends and myself) was that our MTU was not set uniformly.
By default, the MTU should be set on 1500 however one of my friends had it set at 1300 and it was causing the game to freeze for everyone.
Run this command to check what your MTU is:
(from command prompt)
netsh interface ipv4 show subinterface

If your MTU is anything than 1500 then you will need to adjust it.

You can do that by running from the command prompt (as admin) the following:

netsh interface ipv4 set subinterface "Wireless Network Connection" mtu=1500 store=persistent

Do that, restart the game and give it a shot.
Worked for us.

Note that "Wireless Network Connection" could be different in your case. Refer to the output of first command to see what you're wireless adapter's name is. On Windows 8 mine is Wi-fi but on 7 it was Wireless Network Connection. Include the " " in the command.

Hmm... it was 1300 for me. Now it's 1500. I'll test it later and report back if this has fixed the problem. I'll be surprised if it works, but it might. Thanks for the help already, by the way.

[LOL aiur]

No problem. If you're planning on playing with friends it would probably be best to have them check out their MTU's. I'm not sure if it's an issue with Worms not recognizing any MTUs other than 1500 or if it can't handle different MTU's from clients.
Good luck.

i have a MTU already adjusted to 1500 and this is the same thing with a friend but we cant join ourselves in a match (ranked, private or matchmaking) . But the strange thing is i can join everyone else than him and he got the same prob, every time we try to join each other = "LOADING, PLEASE WAIT" and impossible to go back or something else so: contr+alt+supr! Is this a steam friends issue or what? how to resolve it? i buy this game to play online, if online doesnt work.. As i said i only get this issue when i try to join or invite a steam friend. i think its not a connection issue but what kind of bug is it, what can we do?! (dont reply like that: ban friends & join them like anonymous ones...resolving prob not burying)

[zhunGamerTTV (人^▽')～]

Maybe some sort of port would need to be opened that we don't know about, and portforwarding would fix the problem. But I can't really check at the moment.

[le_philou]

reinstalled the game and still have the issue! friend gona reinstall soon and we'll see if that resolve the prob. If not, i send a ticket at team 17 support! if it bug again and again, ...

[LEREZAL]
