Cursed Net_sendpacket Error: Wsaeintr

es_quatro · August 2003

Yes I am dialup (for now) so you will have to forgive me

But this error "NET_SendPacket ERROR: WSAEINTR" keeps coming up ALOT and kicks me out of NS, which is frustrating especially when i am onos or comm.

Does anyone know how to reduce this or make it go away.

I just got this 10 seconds ago, right as a skulk was rushing towards me. It's <i>very</i> annoying.

Please help us!

My bad,

CPU - P4 1.7Ghz
Sound - Audigy
Graphic Card - GeForce 4 440 MX 64MB
OS - Xtra Penus (XP)
on OpenGL 1024 x 768

I will just be in a game, and it will usually freeze momentarily and then kick me out saying NET_SendPacket ERROR: WSAEINTR. I usually get rid of this by killing HL with the task manager.

Dont think I am running EAX
USing Half Life client

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I've been told that disabling my IPX will get rid of it. I've tried that, (or at least I think I disabled it) and it still doesn't work.

Thanks again

Okedoke. I did a little research on this and came up with a TON of people reporting this issue with all HL games and mods since late 2002. According to valve, its an issue they think they will fix in the next patch (and have been delaying said patch for many months), but the most reliable sounding suggestion I found was:

1. Go to Control Panel
2. Go to Administrative tools
3. Go to Services
4. Go to QOS packet scheduler and disable it.

There does not seem to be a totally useful set of workaround yet. The rest of the thread is <a href='http://forums.techguy.org/showthread.php?threadid=97560&perpage=20&pagenumber=1' target='_blank'>here</a>

The only QOS thing I could find in my Services is QOS RSVP and that is disabled.

And still I am getting it. I was wondering if this QOS RSVP was it cos I can't find a something similiar to a packet scheduler in services. That thread is temporarily down so I can't read the rest to find out if it goes by another name

Thanks for you help Monsieur.

Thanks for that Erp.
I found that QOS Packet Scheduler in my Network Connections in Control Panel on the LAN properties. I unclicked it. I will let you know if it works it not.

Thanks again Monse.

I used to have this error message a LOT, I posted in here and after about half an hour, an admin made contact. This is what he said:
Lower your cl_rate, rate, cl_cmdrate and cl_updaterate, as well as increasing your heap size with the command line argument -heapsize xxxx
That worked wonders for me, I have never gotten the error since, and i'm still running that packet scheduler

snipeR_doggie · August 2003

How do you do those first three? <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>

MonsieurEvil · August 2003

To answer Sniper:

In the console, type: rate
Take that value and lower it by 250 by typing: rate (your new value here, no parens)
Play for a while and see how things look stability wise versus your lag. If still unstable, lower it by 250 again. Keep doing this until things get more reliable, or you don't see any improvements (in which case return it to the original value and come back here).

Let us know how it goes folks so we can get a real fix figured out here. I don;t recomend playing with your cl_cmdrate and cl_updaterate unless you really know what you're doing, as you will more than likely make your connectivity much worse.

es_quatro · August 2003

Well after disabling my IPX and disabling my QOS Packet Scheduler

I've played for a couple of days. And the cursed error shows up enough to almost make me want to jump on puter, much like the field scene in Office Space

I will try out this rate thing and let people know how that goes.

Alright, must to my frustration I have given all different setting enough time (I feel) to see if it made a difference.

It hasn't. It keeps coming back like ****.

I since have had a good ol' fashion format. (Format! is there anything it can't fix???) And I have ordered DSL.
So everything is all fixed.... I hope <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'>

Thanks to all the people who have offered suggestions. I hope they will help other people.

Ahhhhhh! This bugs drivin' me nuts. I always used to get it once or twice after 1st connecting to the net but then it would stop, but in the last day or so it's gone absolutly crazy and keeps frezzin' none stop. I'll try the rate thing (tryed QoS before an' it sent my ping through the roof <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'> ) and let you know if it works for me or not.

Fingers crossed.... <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

ok i think i just came up with the dumbest fix for this but my game hasn't crashed for 2 or 3 days so....
all i did was go into the NS shortcut properties and run it in compatability for 2000 (guess this'll only work in xp) and hey presto my games stopped crashing <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'> .
