OH FOR CRYING OUT LOUD (UDP_Socket error #10013)

[Cyan Ryan]

I am sick and tired of getting this error completely randomly. Is there any way to get rid of it without restarting?

 

[Torgo]

Unfortunately, restarting the computer is the only way I found that would work when that error comes up. I have tried restarting my wireless adapters and other methods, but they did not work.

10013 means that port is already in use, or the firewall denied use of that port

use "netstat -a -n -o | more"
to find the process id that is using port 5029
like this:

UDP    0.0.0.0:5029           *:*                                    1272

Then open Task manager, go to the processes tab and enable the PID column, find the matching process and kill it

Am I the only one who never seems to get this error...?
