Symptoms

According to the title screen, Worms WMD servers are not reachable, thus features like the Ranked mode, the global chat and the Ranked stats doesn't work.

Reproduction

  1. Launch the game with Proton
  2. Open global chat, Ranked stats or Ranked mode. None of these features are usable.

Working features

Unranked multiplayer, private chats, solo mode and all other game or menu options are fully functional via Proton, beside (known Proton) problems with Steam overlay, special characters and video playback (WMV). Under Windows 10 on the same system all of the above problems doesn't exist.

Compare the affected ranked mode, global chat, and ranked stats with the working unranked and solo features. No source file or test is named; done would require identifying and addressing the Proton-specific server connectivity problem.
