Did you try to open a server, and when you tried to connect it showed you this error ?

PHP Code:

---

Error-L1: CloseClient INVALID_SOCKET 


---

And when you asked support, they have told you to change OS?, well not anymore !
This fix dosent require any files download. its builted in the Windows7 OS already.
* The only problem is, your GS window or Computer will begin working very slow, I'm trying to fix that.. *

Follow this acts, and it will be working just fine:
1.Locate your GameServer(gameserver.exe) it should be in 'MuFolderName/GameServer'

- Alright found it ? lets move on.

2.Right click it > Properties > Compatibility

- Alright, did it ? good! lets move on.

3.change 'Run this program in compatibility mode for' to checked, and change the Windows version to 'Windows 95'.

- Alright, no click Apply and run GameServer.exe (after starting everything).

And thats it! it should work. please comment if it worked to you, and say about your server files
Example: "It worked for me! I use MuServer Season 6 Episode 1.", If the community will post more then 70% that it didnt work, I'll delete my post, to not show others non-working data.
Please notice that it worked for me, and i use MU Season 3 Episode 1(1.04j)

well it might be still helpful for other ppl having that problem and not just in s6 ep3 files.

I had the same problem in Win7 , now , i know how to repair it, thx (y)

im use 11.11.92 and have this problem.

after minutes/hours alot ot people are disconnected for INVALID_SOCKET

Run compatibility with w 95 but crash in open

My so, w 7 ultimate x32, sql 2008

sfz0rd why dont use also sql 2005?

and hmm u did what the guide says?

Does this actually works?, most of the time my users get disconnected under CloseClient INVALID_SOCKET, im running Windows Server 2008 R2 (Same NT level as Windows 7), i guess this "fix", changes somehow the network winsocket functionalities. Im gonna try it. By the way, i've tried it in Windows 7 and it doesnt freeze the PC, you might be using the same UDP port, if you have another GS using the same port, the CPU usage will go to 100%.

every newcomers needs this.

on windows 2003 server sp1 u dont get this error but on other you do thats why u have to change compatibility.

Using Windows Server 2008 R2 x64, it keeps logging "error-L1 : CloseClient INVALID_SOCKET", even if Compatibility setting is set to "Windows 95", also, consider that by doing this, by "default" the GS will work with 1 CPU only, because "Windows 95" compatibility disables all the rest of the CPU, working with just 1, you can change this by selecting the process (GameServer.exe) right click in "Set Affinity" on the Task Manager.

I remember having SP2, i changed to SP1 and it fixed it, else you will have to go to Win 2008.

Guys it's been like 3 weeks now since i had this problem. Been trying to avoid asking for help. Tried to find solution myself and with help of aunties Google's. No chance so far. Can you please look into it. My machine is Dell 2950 PowerEdge. My OS on server is Windows Server 2008 R2 x64 (only because I have 16gb memory). Server is Season 6 episode 3. Thanks for every stop by and read. Appreciate any help in advance.

tell your host to change CPUCOUNT to 0 and keep the cores running and maybe it will fix it


Sent from my iPhone.

Is that a joke or I'm too noob for this? I am the host and a cant find solution for this. Cant join my own server. Server and Login appears and as soon as I try to log in nothing happens. Animation keeps circling around and after maybe 15 seconds ''You are disconnected from server''

yeah cuz thats logical problem.. you need to change in connectserver serverlist.dat from your global ip to LAN ip and refresh serverlist then u can join the game.. but ur players wont be able to untill u change back the settings.. thats how it is hosting it on your own sometimes.

ps: if u can find way to turn off CPUCOUNT to 0 cuz its adviced for some files which have that bug to fix your dc issue do it and keep the cores running else idk mate gotta change files or get some real host.
