I am Australian and was having problems playing WUM online with 2 US and one Canadian friend. I could only play online ranked meeting (very rarely i might add) random ranked players who were always European. As my US and Canadian friends could invite each other i though it might be a region problem similar to one i had with High Stakes Poker. With the poker problem i made a US PSN account and bought the US version of it and could then play High Stakes with my friends in North America. I didn't matter what sign on account i used but i had to play the US version of the game to join them.

So on the weekend i bought the US version of WUM and one of my friends was online and the invitation worked and we played. When the other 2 friends came online we tried to play with 4. But alas only two people would get into the game. The other 2 would get the Working message and then the Session no longer available.

Didn't matter how we tried to link up - only 2 would get in. We tried invites and also just quick match and ranked. Again 2 would get in only. We then tried every variable for over 3 hours with no success.

Now i'm getting annoyed because not i have bought the game and addons twice and still cant have fun with all my friends who play the game.

Can Team17 help or explain this. Please don't blame out connections as we all have Type 2 NAT and can play other games together with no problem.

Worms 2 doesn't have this region issue or the problem with how many player can play together thru invite.
