[HELP] Connecting

[Makaveli]

Hello Guys

Lately I have been having this problem about I cannot connect to any server, it just says in-game in the chat box "Connecting to "IP HERE" ..". Been trying to re-install the game and the client itself with no help, could it be because of my wireless connection or anything to do with firewall blocking it ?

Yes, either your connections timeouts (though wi-fi isn't that bad really), or your server is unavaliable to you because you typed IP/port wrong or firewall is blocking it.

also, make sure you have the latest client.
You can also made a mistake in typing the password needed to join the server (not all though)

Firstly thanks both of you for the quick reply. Thijn, could you please provide me with a download link of the latest client?. Boss I see the server in my favorites so I guess its the correct IP I typed in. I'm going to see if my firewall is blocking it, thanks again .

Edit: Tried allowing gta.vc.exe and vc-mp.exe to the firewall with no help, I also get this error when I press F6 ingame.

You should allow the computer hosting that server to accept incoming connections to server's port. Otherwise noone will be able to connect.

But, as Thijn said, ensure you have the latest client. You may be connecting to r2 server with r1 client.
