Luis,

 

How about if all of the servers are running SP2? Is it still broken and this patch needed?

 

I have not updated any of mine yet, and probably will not since I have a mix of 32 bit and 64 bit. And since SP2 for 64bit is still in beta........

[LFA]

I have not tested it but it should work. The problem is that the new version of .NET 1.1 is expecting some new information that the old .NET 1.1 does not send.

 

When they release this .NET update for Windows XP and 64bit Windows all servers can have the same version and it should work. Right now if you run a mix of XP, 2003, 32bit and 64bit it is best to wait.

[DougK94]

Yup, leave it to Microsoft not to release it for all platforms at the same time....

I have a few running W2K3 R2. Will this effect these? I have not seen this error yet.

[ECF]

It seems to effect ones that update to SP2.

[HIS-MOTHER]

I will keep an eye out as I thnk R2 has the SP2 as part of it. I know they are crap Dell's that came with the OS's preloaded with IE 7 in them LOL . I may just scrub them and load 2003 with sp1 .

If they work, then I would not change anything. If they don't work, then apply the patch.

What services use the files? I am experiancing some trouble overwriting the files in use and am only experiancing this problem with 1 machine so far...not to bad.

[LFA]

All .NET applications running on the server are using these files. They can only be renamed not deleted. This is what apply.bat does.

 

If you have already executed apply.bat and you are still having problems go to c:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322. Delete all files in that folder with extension .tcafix then run apply.bat again.

I have this error also, my master server is 32bit and remote game server is 64bit.

Is it nothing I can do to get this to work ?

 

My monitor error log:

Looking for a server to create the game server...

You should enter a support ticket.

Update update update! I imagine you shouldn't see this issue any longer unless "something" is way outta date...Of course, do what ECF said and Luis can affix his laser right to the problem, but, this issue is pretty old and simply ensuring everything is up to date should rectify:P
