Update your WormNAT2!

Sensei · September 22, 2015, 11:57 PM

Ok Cyber, I upgraded it again so you can find bugs related to this new version of wormnat2.

Earlier played Big RR with KungPow and in the middle of the game got chat message "skipped packet" but there was no any disconnections.. (search replay @7:39)

Then it happened again few games after, while we were playing Aerial. Only this time I dropped after message.

`KungPow` still has wkPackets.dll, he needs to delete it (whether he uses WormNAT2 or not, but if he does, he needs to update).

i'm using wheat with new wormnat: except for a few error messages everything seems to work fine.
i just press enter 3 times before hosting xD

well. I disabled workmit modules from W:A advanced options, and that error stopped (obviously), but for some reason I can still host with Great Snopper

Snoopers mostly come with "build-in" WormsNAT2. So your local WKs aren't needed, when hosting via snooper.

Yes, Great Snooper doesn't use any WormKit dll.. it has it's own Hoster.exe, which has the same code as Wormnat.dll, but in other programming language, and it is extended to make Great Snooper able to close the game on WormNet when it is started.

# The specified module could not be found.

Means you're missing a specific DLL that the module depends on. Visual C++ runtime maybe.

It's likely wkPackets.dll which was required by older versions, but is now out of date and causes problems if present.
If you're using The Wheat Snooper to host, you must update to 2.9.3, else it will keep trying to downgrade the module and cause you issues, such as skipped packets. Also, older versions will stop working after January 1st, 2016.
