[BUG] num_outgoing_packets < MAX_NUM_PACKETS

[Bloid]

Just updated to the latest version, program crashes when Start Search is presssed.

Note also that before I updated,

I cannot access any servers with a desktop computer using a LAN cable connection, but can (at least sometimes) with a laptop computer with a wireless broadband one. No idea why.

When I get to the server screen and hit "START SEARCH" it says its retrieving information from servers (1), but nothing populates the page when it's finished.

It's exactly the same for me.

I am trying Warband out on the desktop w/ cable.

Not that it is my subject of expertise, but that sounds an awfully lot like some issue with "ports."

And they said the new net code would decrease the amount of outgoing packages.

Sorry, I don't follow you.

Just updated to .625 and the same error happens on the same computer with the same Internet connection.

In no way should ports have anything to do with it, ports are merely directions for incoming connections when faced with local networks. Since the only connection here is outgoing from you to the server opening your ports will not have any effect.

Ive got an error when I try to enter the server browser as well, I am guessing that while making adjustments to the net code they have missed a few things. Try reinstalling, it might work but otherwise theres probably not much we can do till they patch it.

Oddly this does not come up when I use a laptop with a wireless connection. Probably my LAN connection is to blame but I don't know what to tweak. Pity, since the desktop has better hardware and connection quality.

It is happening to quite a few people: http://forums.taleworlds.com/index.php/topic,82066.0.html

Hopefully its fixed in the patch that should be coming out today.

Still happening in .630.

 

[wanderlust13]

still happening to me too

 

[Bloid]

Still happening in .632 on my desktop, sad to say. I've switched to a wireless connection to no avail. But nothing like this happens on my laptop which also has a wireless connection.

 

[Bloid]

Still happening in .633 on my desktop only. What settings should I tweak?

Here's the problem in more detail: No servers show up initially on the Internet setting. When I press Start Search, the program retrieves information from one (1) server then crashes. Pressing Ignore returns me to the empty server screen.

I reported this on bugs.taleworlds.com and the message and crash do not occur anymore.  But I still can't play.

we've made some changes on the code (post 0.641), please report here once again if you still encounter the problem.

Apologies for the lateness of my reply, but my desktop had to be repaired.

_The error message does not appear anymore_ --- but I still can't play online. As before, I'm attempting to play Warband on a desktop with a LAN cable connection.

As before, no servers show up on the Internet setting. When I press Start Search, the program retrieves information from 1 server. Instead of crashing, no servers show up. That's all. Ever since I was admitted into the beta I've been only able to play on a laptop with a wireless connection. I don't know why I can on that but not on my desktop. Perhaps this is a problem on my end, but I don't know what settings to adjust. Help?

EDIT: HA! I was clicking Refresh and an Assertion failed error came up. I was able to Ignore out, and triggered it again a few times by pressing Refresh again.

File: .\src\network_manager.cpp
Line:157

Expression: network_thread == NULL

I'm off to bugs.taleworlds.com to report this. I'm sure this is the root of my problem! I hope this finally gets fixed.
