Hi,

I am experiencing some connection issues using Live Update to connect to a game build.

Setup:

Game build is running on PC and I am running the Fmod Project on another computer (Mac).

All games worked on to this point have had no issues connecting. I can connect the issue game on the same computer using localhost but not via IP address from my Mac.  
I tested with another colleague and could connect to their computer (PC) running the game. We cant figure out what is happening here.

Using the same IP address of my PC i can connect to other games. I have cleared the list of IP’s and added the IP again.

Any suggestions appreciated.

I have attached the error dialogue i get. ‘Socket Error’
