Socket bind failed, error: Address already in use(98)

[ubuntoorist]

The error above occurred after opening the Standard Assets Example Project downloaded from the store. Nothing appears to be using 98, according to netstat.

FYI 98 is the error code IIRC, not the port number. Unity wouldn’t be able to bind to port 98 anyway since it does not run as root (ports <= 1024 require elevated privs in order to bind to them).

[SOLVED] Socket: bind failed, error: Address already in use(98)

After unity hangs I usually kill it with xkill.
