How do you get the won id of the current player which is joining the game?

I knew I must be doing something wrong rather than there being a fault with the Servers or the protocol. Into what variable type do you read the response? I am using: TCHAR hl_resp[1024]; In what way are you extracting the various components? I was doing something rather noddy, but it seemed to be working for the most part: BYTE a = hl_resp[0]; BYTE b = hl_resp[1]; BYTE c = hl_resp[2]; BYTE d = hl_resp[3]; These bytes correspond to the opening 255 255 255 255 part of the code. Interestingly, from what I can understand of your hex dump, a . appears to be the terminating character of the string fields. If this is the case, how are you managing to work out that in the following snippet of your response: ...-dw.. which maps to: (string) . terminator for "CounterStrike" (byte) . 06 players (byte) . 12 Max Players allowed (byte) - 45 (byte) d 'd' = Dedicated (byte) w 'w' = Windows (byte) . hex 00 = no password (byte) . hex 01 yes mod As you can see, some important information is dots, some dots are string terminators. I wonder if it is this distinction where I am tripping up. Any hints on how you are storing the response and parsing it please ?

It's ok on mine.
