Socket error when connecting

  • Two Factor Authentication is now available on BeyondUnreal Forums. To configure it, visit your Profile and look for the "Two Step Verification" option on the left side. We can send codes via email (may be slower) or you can set up any TOTP Authenticator app on your phone (Authy, Google Authenticator, etc) to deliver codes. It is highly recommended that you configure this to keep your account safe.

Sometimes when trying to connect to a runtime server through the Internet a specific client machine simply won't connect, showing the following error message:

Networking failed
winsock: Socket failed 75606396


This error has happened with both an XP and a Vista machine. The firewall programs have been shutdown so that's not the cause. Also the user is administrator on the machine. Googling the socket failed shows that other people have had similar problems but none have solved this so far. Has anyone here seen this problem and managed to fix it?

Thanks,
Tuco
