wsock32 problem

Post by jagermann2 » 24 May 2016, 17:22

Had to register on the forums, because since last my round I cannot connect anymore. I keep receiving the message "remove wsock32.dll from bin folder inside BYOND", but I have no wsock32.dll there.

Was I banned?

It is to prevent from some programs from changing your IP or computer ID to avoid bans. (I think)
PM Apophis and he will sort it out.

Reinstalling a couple of times BYOND solved the issue for me!

wsock32.dll is a file that people sneak into the Byond folder to fuck with Byond. it's named Wsock32.dll to hide itself. But I r Smert.

I have BYOND installed on two different laptops both not in programs\byond\bin. I also manually searched for and could not find wsock32.dll in the actual installation folders on both laptops. Yet I still get this error no matter which computer I use to try to play CM. What's up with that?

I really need to change the name of that error. It's detecting that your trying to use multiple IPs for the same Ckey.
