CS 1.3 and/or HL 1108 Probs.

Umm, Im having a slight bit of trouble - when starting a game of CS on any servers I try to join, I get the following message (this may be normal, but my computer freezes once it says this)

WARNING: UDP_OpenSocket: Port 27015
Setsockopt IP_MULTICAST_LOOP:
WSAENOPROTOOPT

As I say, This may be normal but for some reason my PC is hanging....


I would be grateful if someone could give me any clues of to why this is happening.


Regards

Steve.

I get those errors as well, but my CS works fine, are they not just to do with having ipx disabled?

Yep same error messages - three time i think. My computer doesn't hang, and CS runs fine! Is that something to do with the voice messages?

i had same prob, turned out my firewall was playing up, wanted permission again for the net since the program had changed when i updated it i couldnt alt + tab out at that stage to allow permission on my firewall, so i had to go into cs as if to refresh servers from inside the game, sure enough it needed permission so i could alt + tab then and allow it, and its happy ever since

Yeah I had the same problem as Soul. I use Zone Alarm, problem was the Half-Life launcher version changes when u upgrade so any access rights for the launcher are lost. I just opened up Zone Alarm, gave the launcher access and off it went Still getting those bloody opensocket errors though :-( Anybody know anything about them??

Also how do you get your microphone working in CS itself? I've got a key bound, but my name does't have a mike icon next to it in the scoreboard... Any ideas?

Me too agent egg, what sort of sound card do you have, not sure if that would make a difference.

Ch3tan posted saying that you are are given the option to install voice comms on installing CS1.3 but I was not , I may try a reinstall tonight.

Oh well the voices sound poor anyways, I will no doubt stick with RW

I'm getting same error.

 

[old.Anatoly]

Could it be to do with whether a server has multicast spectator enabled or not?

my bloody firewall stopped me from playing too

I got this:

WSAENOPROTOOPT

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Socket option is unknown or unsupported

This error is generated when an invalid option is set for a socket. Since the controls will silently ignore socket options that are not supported, this error should not be generated.

from here:

http://www.catalyst.com/support/help/visual/swrench/errors/wsaenoprotoopt.html

Not very helpful I know but looks like a windows sockets problem. Since the error is generated as soon as CS launches (and before it even tries to connect to a server) probably a client issue?

Anatoly I have a sound blaster live value, I was given the option to setup sound when I installed the patch...

If you go to your start menu, sierra, hl/cs and setup voice comms.
