Hate to add to the pile of connection issue topics on this forum, but I've got one that is really putting a big dent in my WWP fun.

Alright, I installed Worms World Party. I patched it, extracted all the patch files to the Worms World Party folder. So I go into the game, go to play online, and click on the Team 17 United Kingdom selection it gives you. So I wait a few minutes, and the game eventually says 'Fatal Error connecting to gameserver, disconnecting' or something of that likes.

I have no idea what to do to remedy this. I read the official explanation for trouble shooting this error, and it states:

'If a message is displayed stating 'Fatal error during gameserver connection' when attempting to connect to Wormnet through a proxy server. Test network setttings from within WWP and ensure that the proxy is enabled. If not make sure that the checkbox is highlighted above the test network button. If the checkbox is highlighted and the proxy is still listed as disabled then review your proxy port number as this may have been incorrectly entered. If you are still unsure please contact your network administrator to establish if you have web proxy and that it is Harvest Cache compatible.'


Now, this doesn't make any sense to me. What's all this proxy business and such? The wording of this explanation is awful.

If somebody could help that'd be appreciated.

Im having the exact same problem but i didnt get the error message it just completely freezes at that point, if anyone knows how i can get round this it'd be much appriechiated, cheers.

ignore the proxie stuff unless your behind a proxie... make sure the game is allowed to bypass your firewall's.
