[Jonny5isalivetm]

Fatal Error 10014: The system detected an invalid pointer address in attempting to use a pointer argument in a call

port is forwarded..

game does not even begin..

spring works fine via autohost etc..

any clues ?

Can you post your infolog.txt to pastebin then post the link here?

Also what port were you forwarding? I ask because at one time I know the wiki listed the wrong number to forward.

[Jonny5isalivetm]

ok but it says nothing else..

cant host since new version install plz soebody help (((

tried different ports, changed in router before trying the new port..

current is 8452 forwarded by router..

but tbh its not a port thing, as it doesnt load that far.. it doesnt seem to load spring.exe at all so must be a TASclient thing..

[oksnoop2]

Are you using the multi-threaded exe? You might want to try the single threaded one and see if that gets you anywhere, if that does not work submit your report to:

http://springrts.com/mantis/my_view_page.php

Engine developers seem to pay more attention to that than on the boards.

ok so I tried the old TAS Client 0.48 hosts fine.. nothing to do with spring

[Satirik]

post both script.txt files with working and not working tasclient

[Jonny5isalivetm]

autohostport=8451;

is faulty, i guess you have a firewall or something blocking tasclient from listening that port, and if nothing is listening it spring crashes, gonna make a mantis bug report

[Jonny5isalivetm]

same problem..

yet works with any port on old version..

I also tried 0.77 it also works..

[Satirik]

same problem ? it just won't work with latest beta because :

1) tasclient tries to listen the 8451 port but seems to fail (probably due to a firewall)
2) spring doesn't like when the autohostport is specified but nothing is listening to it

[Jonny5isalivetm]

Hi ok so hosting on port 8451 router port forwarded = 8451

you just don't understand what i mean, when i say firewall i don't mean "router", it's local it's a connection between spring and tasclient on your own computer

[Jonny5isalivetm]

hmm right ok, well I disabled the Windows Firewall..

same result sadly

any other ideas

Cheers

^^

[Jonny5isalivetm]

fixed in Spring 0.82.5..
