Issues unresolved

Cannot join or create multiplayer games

Example of the multiplayer join/create issue.
Example of the multiplayer join/create issue.
Players have been reporting an occassional inability to join or create multiplayer games, ranging from no-one being assigned to their game to multiplayer options being completely grayed out.[4]
No workaround is currently known.

Player spawns underneath a new map

Occassionally, when the player spawns into a new map, they will spawn underneath it.[5][6]
The game has a built-in workaround wherein it correctly respawns the player - albeit at a severe health cost.
The developers are actively working on resolving this issue.

Game stops spawning enemies

If the player successfully survives enough maps, the game will cease to spawn enemies as it has literally run out of enemies which it deems difficult enough to challenge the player.[7]
This will be addressed in the future as more enemies and status effects (affixes) are added.

    "People have gotten far enough into the game that things just... stop spawning. For context, the game skips spawns that it deems is too easy for the number of "spawn credits" it has. If you've gotten to that point congrats, the game thinks Overloading Worms are a bit too easy for you. This will naturally be fixed once higher tier monsters and affixes are added to the game. For now... it means that you terrified the whole planet."
