Today I started getting: Lua runtime error: libs/socket.lua:29: attempt to call field 'getaddrinfo' (a nil value)

Hello,

When trying to do a bind, I'm getting the error:  Lua runtime error: libs/socket.lua:29: attempt to call field 'getaddrinfo' (a nil value)

Yet, the value I'm passing for the host is 127.0.0.1 (hard coded).  For example:

host = "127.0.0.1"

local server = assert(socket.bind(host, 0))

also tried:  local server = assert(socket.bind("127.0.0.1", 0))

even went into sock.lua and coded host to be 127.0.0.1.

Yesterday this worked fine and today it doesn't ....   I did a reboot **and** turned OFF the FIREWALL.

Thank you in advance for your help.

P.S.  I also tried uninstalling and reinstalling Windower without any change.

I started seeing the same thing yesterday. It was working a day or two before.

Hi,

It is working for me now, as I contacted the developers who sent me two new files.  They didn't notice the problem, as they had the new files, but we didn't as we did still had the old ones.  Once I installed these two new (core.dll) files, sockets worked again!

Last I heard they were trying to figure out why these new files didn't go out through the update process.

The correct file dates and sizes are:
