Multiplayer crashes before connecting! help!

[Aegix]

As soon as I select "search for game" SRB2 crashes, and I get a message box that says:

SOCK_Send, error sending to node 32 (255.255.255.255:5029)
#100049: unknown error

Please tell me what went wrong!

 

[Super mystic sonic]

hey dude,don't look at me,i NEVER had errors with online playing,except lagg when more then 14 people join.

 

[Ritz]

Well, good for you. You didn't answer his question, though.

WSAEADDRNOTAVAIL
(10049)

Cannot assign requested address.
    The requested address is not valid

What The Hell? Do you have ipv6 installed on your WinSock stack?

 

[BlazingPhoenix]

Either "you have a crappy connection: get a better connection" or I have no idea....

 

[Aegix]

I fixed it. I ended up reinstalling it.

But...What the heck does it mean when it says: "you've been kicked from the game (consistency failure)"???

Does it mean my dial-up is too slow or something?

I was in the middle of a CTF game too! :(

 

[Eryn]

That means something in your game happened that other games couldn't handle. You can always reconnect when that happens, it's prolly one of the smallest fatal errors.

Well, good for you. You didn't answer his question, though.

its probably just a good idea for yo and your friends to collect the rings manually, because it was something on your computer that everone else couldnt handle
just colect the rings manually instead of entering a code in the console

Im having the same problem. Its annoying me.
I get this error message

and my DXDiag things are...

 

[Naga]

Whats DirectX got to do with this error? Its something to do with how your network/internet is configured.

Host a game before join game (search) or srb2 will crash with that error, alternatively, use listserv in the console at the title screen.

W00t, my computer is better than someone elses!

 

[Luke]

Ok, I tried that AND i got a different error.
And console, How do i use the console???

 

[Naga]

Its the key underneath ESC, press that ingame to open the console.

 

[Luke]

Ingame...
I tried on title screen Lawl.

 

[Naga]

It'll work in game and on the title screen, as well as the intro movie, but it won't work if they is a menu open.

 

[Luke]

Why when i type it does it freeze for a bit. And not do anything?

 

[Naga]

Its never froze for me before i the console...

 

[Luke]

It works now YAY!
