TNServer.exe does not work in Windows 8.1

[sberghici]

I hate Microsoft!
I've recently upgraded my desktop to Windows 8.1 and after that TNServer.exe stopped working. Same executable works fine on all other Microsoft OS including W7, W8, Server 8 R2.
Error message is:
"... has failed the verification step" (like client and server have different versions but this not the case)

That seems strange. What gets sent instead of the verification?

I did not get so deep but the code even does not hit verification, the following line returns false:
if (packet == Packet.RequestID)

hello I been using windows 8.1 for a while now and TNServer.exe works for me, not that it helps you much but just popped in to say it does work on windows 8.1.

I figured out the problem.
Way to reproduce:
In ExapmpleMenu.cs update the Start() function:

1.         void Start ()
2.         {
3.                 if (Application.isPlaying)
4.                 {
5.                         // We don't want mobile devices to dim their screen and go to sleep while the app is running
6.                         Screen.sleepTimeout = SleepTimeout.NeverSleep;
7.  
8.                         // Make it possible to use UDP using a random port
9.                         TNManager.StartUDP(Random.Range(10000, 50000));
10.                         TNManager.Connect("192.168.0.193:5127");
11.                        
12.                         string playerName;
13.                         if(PlayerPrefs.HasKey("PlayerName")){
14.                                 playerName = PlayerPrefs.GetString("PlayerName");      
15.                         }
16.                         TNManager.client.BeginSend(Packet.RequestChannelList);
17.                         TNManager.client.EndSend();
18.                 }
19.         }

After that it works with any version of windows except 8.1
If you remove PlayerPrefs section - it works. If you remove TNManager.client.BeginSend - it works. Actually it was my bug - TNManager.client.BeginSend/EndSend should not be there in Start() function. I've commented these 2 lines and it works fine now(I do it in Update every 5 seconds).

That's correct. The Connect() call is delayed, so you need to wait for the OnNetworkConnect notification before proceeding.
