Multiplayer doesn't work

[mrkylegp]

Can't get the multiplayer working.

Have port forwarded everything correctly and I'm able to create a room and a game. The other person can join the room and see the game, but when attempting to connect to the game it just says "Now searching for a worms 2 game" indefinitely.

Any ideas?

I also can't get the multiplayer working.

The button in the main menu isn't grayed out. I can press it, but when I do it, the game crashes and the game window closes. The multiplayer window doesn't open. I tried to do port forwarding in my FritzBox Router and also gave the game in my Windows Defender Firewall "full access". Nothing works.
The event display of Windows 10 shows following error when pressing the network button:

Multiplayer works for me now. It should be noted that all players need to port forward on their end, even if they are only joining and not hosting. Once my friends also port forwarded, they were able to join. I recommend adding this to the docs @Carlmundo

Just to note, there were a bunch of multiplayer bugs that have now been fixed in the latest version.
