ASIO system error 995: The I/O operation has been aborted


Answer

After creating ClientNetwork object
and when first an asynchronous operation was started
you should run io_service::run method
to process handlers in events loop
then your program runs until there is at least one asynchronous operation to be executed.

At the end of try scope put io_service->run():

ClientNetwork clientNet(*io_service, endpoint);

global_stream_lock.lock();
std::cout << "Listening on: " << endpoint << std::endl;
global_stream_lock.unlock();
io_service->run();

Without this
the destructor of ClientNetwork class is called
and mAcceptor is closed with printing this error message

void ClientNetwork::handleAccept (...)
{ ... std::cout << "Error: " << error << " " << error.message() << std::endl;}


This fixed it, thanks!! I've noticed that my network doesn't let multiple users connect;
should I recall my listen() function at the end of handleAccept?

Sure, when a connection was established
you should call async_accept in handleAccept
to wait for another one.

======================================================

The sequence is:

--> server listens on some (any) port

--> client creates a thread (ConnectThread)
on which it calls Connect and then BeginReceive

<-- client's ConnectThread dies coz there's nothing to do

<-- ReceiveCallback is getting called
and upon reaching EndReceive fails with SocketException, error 995:
"'The I/O operation has been aborted
because of either a thread exit or an application request
at System.Net.Sockets.Socket.EndReceive(IAsyncResult asyncResult)'"

<-- I do handle this by catching it and for error 995
I try to initiate async receive again by calling BeginReceive

--> server sends data
(in the above code there's a slight delay
between Accept and Send to simulate this behavior)

<-- ReceiveCallback is getting called because of data available,
EndReceive is happy, everything is just fine,
except the socket's Connected property: it's false!

===============================================================

Note

All I/O initiated by a given thread is canceled when that thread exits.
A pending asynchronous operation can fail
if the thread exits before the operation completes.

**********************************************************************

I don't know the code used by PRBF2 internet logon ( from home user client )
Is there some difference in Python from Win XP to Win 7 ??

Is there too long of a latency to start receiving data
before the PRBF2 thread " exits " ( comcast IP latency ) ??

All other online tasks ( webpage , downloading , streaming -- YOUTUBE )
work without any error ( on my Win XP SP3 system ) .

The above are some HINTS in the direction of SOLVING the LOGON failure .

I can continue searching ,
but I can't change the CODE for PRBF2
to make the correction .

Thank You for any effort .

I think you should post this on the Support Forum not on the Bugs forum

Thank You for the advice .

i have the same problem after the update. i also run xp sp3. i am not a computer programer. did you find a solution to the problem??

[PRBF2_Tester]

No solution on home computer ( yet ) .

I have copied my first post ( this thread )
over to support section ( for approval )
as suggested by other poster in this thread .

If it shows up in support section ,
I will copy over my 2nd post
of the results from Google
about the error 995 ( in Windows XP ) .

I will spend more time ( in the coming days )
to find more results for error 995 .

Many results suggest to contact the application
creator ( in this case meaning Project Reality coders ) .

This may come off as rude, but maybe upgrade to Windows 7?

[Mats391]

This is a known issue for some WinXp users and we cant figure out what is causing it. Right now your only option is to upgrade to Windows 7 or 10.

[PRBF2_Tester]

Unable to Move from Win XP SP3
currently ( security hardened ) with incoming / outgoing Firewalls
and other measures put in place
after virutnet ( Botnet ) infection and " autorun.inf " infection removal .

Homebuilt computer
( unable to purchase new gaming computer )
I believe I will lose the functionality of the many
Combatsim / Flightsim / Dinosaur sim mods , etc. currently installed
if upgrading to Win 7 , 8 , 10 .

I inquired at local ' Staples ' store about purchase of Win 7 .

They said , they were NOT allowed to sell Win 7 ( Win 8 ) since Windows 10 came out .

They said the restriction was from merchant agreement with Microsoft .

I have been through upgrades , such as Firefox -- where the upgrade DISABLES addons
for which there are no UPgraded replacements .

I can see where Microsoft would DISABLE older ( but still useful ) programs
during an upgrade to Windows 7 / 8 / 10 .

This computer is NOT used for Social Networks .

The hardware has been upgraded " to the max " to run 3D computer simulations
as noted above .

As long as the Project Reality BF2 updates will still run " offline "
( as they do right now -- I will be very happy with all Your efforts ) .

When I click ' check for updates ' the message is --
I have the most current update .

I noted there was a Sysinternals " ProcDump " available ,
and I downloaded it .

I note during the failed attempts to logon , there is a ( .dmp ) file created .

I believe the ProcDump is supposed to process the .dmp file
to create a ' report ' .

I will attempt to process a .dmp file -- from the failed attempt to logon ,
maybe there will be some Clues or Answers in the report created .

Thank You for Your Magnificient " Work of Art " -- PR BF2 .

Hi, I too am running xp sp3. I may have to upgrade os but ive been playing for so many years it seems strange my set up all os a sudden died. If you find a solution please post.

[ January 24th , 2019 ]

After some additional research concerning the "error 995" logon problem ,

the additional information I need ( that I cannot seem to find ) is :

Has a change been made in the latest version of PR BF2
that it now only works on " .NET 4.5 " .

I found this link https://weblog.west-wind.com/posts/2012/Mar/13/NET-45-is-an-inplace-replacement-for-NET-40
discussing the .NET update which excludes Win XP .

Additional info request :
1) Does anyone successfuly run PR BF2 1.5 on Win XP ?

2) Does no-one run PR BF2 on Win XP ?

3) Does at leasts ONE person run PR BF2 on Win XP ?

It seems if the current Poject Reality 1.5 is NOT compiled
to run under .NET 4.0 ( but only .NET 4.5 )
then this could be the reason for the failure to go online with Win XP .

Here is the UN-explained line in my

System Information
------------------

--->>> .NET Framework: Unknown <<<---

** .NET Framework 4 Client Profile ( Installed )
** .NET 4 Framework Extended ( Installed )

The ** values are what I added to the info posted .

PR BF2 1.5 FAILED to Identify my version of the .NET framework installed .

Perhaps that data not being transmitted when trying to go online
is what terminates the connection with an "error 995 " .

Here is one more link that I found

https://www.daniweb.com/programming/software-development/threads/313275/the-i-o-operation-has-been-operated-exception-tcp-server

( stating )

"The error code was 995
which I fixed by adding a WaitOne() call
to the result gotten from the BeginReceive function"

[WeeGeez]

"The error code was 995
which I fixed by adding a WaitOne() call
to the result gotten from the BeginReceive function"

Curious

Either way be patient last I heard mats & co is working on re-working "socket magic" ..

[PRBF2_Tester]

FINAL Thoughts that Windows XP ' WILL NOT ' be able
to be a usable operating system ( to logon and play online )
any longer with PR BF2 --
Windows XP cannot update dotNET.Framework above 4.0 .

Since the further production of PR_BF2 is being done on
operating systems of at least Windows 7 ,8 or 10 --
the dotNET.Framework continuing updates for those systems
is moving upward beyond dotNET 4.0 .

I suspect with time
( when microsoft wants to phase out support for Windows 7 and 8 )
the same problem will occur with those OS(s)
that has made Windows XP unable to logon to play PR_BF2 .

Without a workaround for the " sockets " part of the OS
( to go online ) further dotNET.Framework updates
for Windows 10 will probably disable access
for Windows 7 and Windows 8 users
to join online gameplay .

==============================================
Again , a big THANKS to the ' hard-working ' authors
of Project Reality and their continuing work .
==============================================

I have been branching out to experience other combat sims
( that are playable on Windows XP ) --
The Arma 2 series , and the CoD series ,
Insurgency Modern Infantry Combat
Full Spectrum Warrior
Close Combat-First to Fight
Hidden and Dangerous 2
Just Cause
Battlestations Midway
Dangerous Waters
Enigma Rising Tide
CounterStrike Condition Zero
The Carnivores 2 + mods , and the Jurassic Park + mods

With other research , I don't really have time to spend
with anything on the above list .

We need more hours in a day to accomplish more - - -

This will be my final post on this Titled error 995 .

Have Fun online .

Goodbye .
