Hi,

When i'm playing at work, through a proxy, i can't see if my friends are online. It shows ".." where it should show "online" or "offline". And even if they are online it asks if i wanna play against the self-defense team

do you have a facebook block at your work?
the game is located on wormsfacebook.team17.com but it redirects you to facebook page of you try to load (http://wormsfacebook.team17.com/live) it.
you could set your proxy to ignore this domain name ;)
not sure if it helps.

My company network admin would love to hear that request.
Kidding, i dont have no f* way to change my proxy settings. We dont have any block, except for FB messages

yes it is. unfortunately, although Worms isn't on facebook directly, you can't play it on its own site, you have to use the FB page.
It's probably due to FB cookies.
still, friends, invites etc. use facebook, of course.

No solution then ? Cause this really sucks, to play with bots only :/ I only play at work :D

I'm afraid you'll have to ask your IT department about this! :)
