It's just Linux users who are getting the shaft.ha, I hang out in a lot of old computer forums. Responding horribly late, but no, it's not affecting Windows. Ouch! Is it at least also affecting Windows? Then at least you can tell they don't give a shit about anybody, instead of just not giving a shit about us. It's not as flashy or feature-rich as W.M.D., but the multiplayer is pretty much hassle-free.
My friends and I got so annoyed, we wound up switching to Hedgewars instead. It breaks Steam overlay, which is needed for inviting friends to multiplayer matches. After almost four years this bug is still around. Not that I'm going to buy any of those any time soon, because I was really disappointed in W.M.D.'s Linux port. There's also Worms Reloaded and Worms Clan Wars. Would be sweet if we got more Team17 ports.
Quoting: ixnari Quoting: slaapliedje Quoting: ixnari Quoting: slaapliedjeCould have sworn there were a few worms games that released for Linux, but only found Worms W.M.D. You can grab Worms 2 Plus from GitHub and Worms 2 from GOG.
So, if like me, you're a bit of an old-school Worms fan, try it out and see what you think. There's a lot that Worms 2 Plus does like applying the last official patch, adds a Borderless Windowed mode, fixes various sound issues, online play without extra configuration, LAN play restored, server list is fixed, plus various other enhancements from other patches. The developer emailed in about it, as they've made sure that it nicely works with Wine too and the installer "automatically configures the game for Wine" they tell me, and this is a perfect way for Wine to shine. Getting it running on modern systems can be quite a hassle but that's where Worms 2 Plus comes in. Originally released back in 1997, it's obviously quite dated now. Thankfully, Worms 2 can be played easily on Linux (and Windows) thanks to Worms 2 Plus.
Worms, a game I grew up with playing on the Amiga, it's an absolute classic and some modern versions just don't have the same charm.
