    Hi I have been searching around for this but can't seem to find any docs about it, so my question is
    Can you create a normal Winsock TCP server? so that you can communicate with other softwares.

    Best regards

    Not a winsock server in particular. But a socket server yes. There are a few examples on the wiki of users doing this.

    The only caveat is that you can't spin your networking code into a separate thread reliably. The threading in the version of Mono Unity uses is bug ridden.
