    I was wondering if any of you have been able to connect to multiple sockets across different scripts? Every time I try to run these two scripts together it causes Unity to freeze and for the game not to be loaded. Does anyone know how to fix this issue? Thanks so much. Here are the two script:

    First script attached to a game object:
    Code (CSharp):
    1. using NetMQ;
    2. using NetMQ.Sockets;
    3. using System;
    4. using System.Collections.Concurrent;
    5. using System.Threading;
    6. using UnityEngine;
    7. using UnityEngine.UI;
    8. using AsyncIO;
    9.  
    10. public class Sender : MonoBehaviour
    11. {
    12.     private DateTime today;
    13.     private PushSocket socket;
    14.  
    15.     public OVRInput.Controller leftController;
    16.     public OVRInput.Controller rightController;
    17.     private ControllerState stateStore;
    18.  
    19.     private void Start()
    20.     {
    21.         ForceDotNet.Force();
    22.         socket = new PushSocket();
    23.         socket.Bind("tcp://*:23456");
    24.         stateStore = new ControllerState(leftController, rightController);
    25.     }
    26.  
    27.     private void Update()
    28.     {
    29.         stateStore.UpdateState();
    30.         socket.SendFrame(stateStore.ToJSON());
    31.     }
    32.  
    33.     private void OnDestroy()
    34.     {
    35.         var terminationString = "terminate";
    36.         for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
    37.         {
    38.             socket.SendFrame(terminationString);
    39.         }
    40.         socket.Close();
    41.         NetMQConfig.Cleanup();
    42.     }
    43.     private void OnApplicationPause()
    44.     {
    45.         var terminationString = "terminate";
    46.         for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
    47.         {
    48.             socket.SendFrame(terminationString);
    49.         }
    50.         socket.Close();
    51.         NetMQConfig.Cleanup();
    52.     }
    53. }

    Hi did you find a fix regarding this? I also encounter the same problem.
