Assertion Failed Visual C++ Runtime Library

Hi, I'm playing this game called Titan Quest. It works fine in Single-player and in Multi-player whenever I host. However, when I begin a search for games to join I get this error.

Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library

Assertion Failed!

Program: ...iles\THQ\Titan Quest Immortal Throne\TqitD.exe
File: .\common\gsPlatformSocket.c
Line:236

Expression: theSocket !=INVALID_SOCKET

Abort, Retry, Ignore

I'm not sure if this is a game problem or a windows problem. Please Help if you can, Thank you.

Re: Assertion Failed Visual C++ Runtime Library

Try downloading and installing the latest Microsoft Visual C++ Package.

Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package (x86)

Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package (x64)

Let us know if it helps

Re: Assertion Failed Visual C++ Runtime Library

yes this does sound like a corruption in the Runtime Library
and re-installing the latest version should help sort the problem out, if not then it may be you need to obtain the latest Titan Quest patch for the game

Re: Assertion Failed Visual C++ Runtime Library

would it be the 2008 C++ redist or the 2005 C++ Redist?

it really should not make any difference as 2008 should be fully backwards compatible

Point taken. As long as it is....

But that is also a concern - perhaps it is not?

Re: Assertion Failed Visual C++ Runtime Library

programs like that are supposed to work in the same way as the likes of DirectX
(designed to update the original version that was embedded into the OS and or to fix corrutions)
at the same time there would also be no harm in installing both 2005 and 2008 to be 100% sure of having the correct version

Re: Assertion Failed Visual C++ Runtime Library

As ripbox mentioned, 2008 is fully compatible with 2005. Just recently, I uninstalled my 2005 libraries and installed both x86 and x64 2008 libraries and I haven't had any problems.
