SFML Server doesn't accept more than one client

[FlyPT]

Hi everyone im trying to make a server for the first time and i've got a problem.
Apparently only one client can join.
I dont really know what is happening.

#include <SFML\Network.hpp>
#include <iostream>

unsigned short port = 6702;
bool open = true;

int main() {
        sf::TcpListener listener;
        std::vector<sf::TcpSocket*> clients;

        if(listener.listen(port) != sf::Socket::Done) {
                return -1;
        }

        std::cout << "Waiting for connections...\n";

        while (open) {
                sf::TcpSocket* newConnection = new sf::TcpSocket;
                if(listener.accept(*newConnection) == sf::Socket::Done) {
                        clients.push_back(newConnection);
                        sf::Packet confirmation;
                        confirmation << true;
                        clients[clients.size()-1]->send(confirmation);
                        std::cout << "Player Joined! Players Online: " << clients.size() << "\n";
                }
                else {
                        delete newConnection;
                }

                for (auto& client : clients) {
                        sf::Packet packet;
                        sf::Socket::Status status = client->receive(packet);
                        if (status == sf::Socket::Done) {
                                for (auto& client2 : clients) {
                                        if(client != client2) {
                                                std::cout << "a2";
                                        }
                                }
                        }
                        else if (status == sf::Socket::Disconnected) {

                        }
                }
        }
}

Thanks in advance.

        for (auto& client : clients) {
            sf::Packet packet;
            sf::Socket::Status status = client->receive(packet);

Your main loop will only be able to end one iteration after all the connected clients have sent something. If they don't, this code will block and your app will be stuck waiting for data.

In such a loop, you can put all your sockets in non-blocking mode.

I put every socket in non blocking but now it doesnt receive data from players.

That's how tcp works. you could use a socket selector though.

I think the tcp listener needs to be set to non blocking too right?
