Option for TCPRecv?

[TheNorwegianUser]

Hey!

I have made one of my games so that it can be played multiplayer over a TCP connection, but it seems like TCPRecv() takes too much time, and creates an unwanted delay. I searched around in the forums, and all I found someone with the same problem, but I can't get their solution to work. Anyone knows a faster option than TCPRecv()?

This is what they came up with:

Func _TCPRecv($iSock, $iLen)
Local $structBuffer = DllStructCreate("char[" & $iLen & "]")
Local $aRet = DllCall("Ws2_32.dll", "int", "recv", "int", $iSock, "ptr", DllStructGetPtr($structBuffer), "int", $iLen, "int", 0)
If @error Then SetError(1, 0, "")
Return SetError(0, $aRet[0], DllStructGetData($structBuffer, 1))
EndFunc

if string send is short. You can use UDP  UDP Faster than TCP but just for small string.
