No updates work for the Trymedia version (which in turn prevents you from playing online)
You can buy W2 and WA together for only 5.99 Punds sterling (around 9 euros) from Team17 shop: https://secure.team17.com/browse.html?area=detail&skuid=79

I really can't see it working. Maybe once 4.0 is finished (whenever that may be), Trymedia will update their wrapped version and it'll be compatible with the disc version, but then the next update after that won't work on Trymedia.

If that's how you feel, though, then you really should speak to Trymedia about it. I don't know about anywhere else, but in the UK you'd qualify for a full refund regardless of Trymedia's refunds policy.

I think Trymedia were rather expecting, when they got WA, to have a nice, old game they could stick online and have a nice trickle of income from, while they forgot about it and did nothing. And with most decade-old games that's what they'd have got. But they've been more than a bit rubbish with it since then -- I mean, one update would get the game working online, and the betas can emulate each other so it's not as though they'd need to update it regularly.

Then order the CD version from the T17 shop.

According to The Store, the price including shipping to Sweden is 160.05 Swedish Krona. No idea of the current exchange rate, so I can't say how expensive that is.

160.05 Swedish Krona
That's US$23.13.
