I doubt this should help.

About last screen. How long are you waiting to see the "XXX connected"?

IMO everything should work. :/

Do you have a software firewall or hardware firewall?

Better try re-installing vice city, you would have modded something.

Maybe you're using something like a bad wireless access point, or having old drivers.

no


or having old drivers.

hm will it work if i install new drivers,i dont think drivers have something to do with lost connection  :/ (i play samp and cod4 without any problems,no timeouts or crashes..)

Or simpler: VCMP.exe don't likes you :p.

You said that before it worked for you? Were you playing R1 or R2?

i played before all servers have moved to r2, and i remember when i played (month/two ago) i just connected and my ping was around 250 on lw (70 is now) and i would disconnect /timeout soon , now i cant even join the game

Yeah I had that problem too. I followed Thijn's tutorial and it did work.

EDIT: Found it: http://vu.vrocker-hosting.eu/index.php?topic=587.15

Here's Thijns tutorial:

Quote
Go to your GTAVC Folder, and go to the folder mss
in there you make 2 folders, 0.3z & RC2

Place the vc-mp.flt file (which is in the mss folder from gtavc) into the 0.3z folder
Then copy the vc-mp.flt file from the mss folder in your RC2 installation dir, and place it into the RC2 folder.

When you want to play 0.3z, copy the vc-mp.flt from the 0.3z folder (in your gtavc dir) into the mss folder from gtavc

When you want to play RC2, copy the vc-mp.flt from the RC2 folder (in your gtavc dir) into the mss folder from gtavc.

Peace of cake ;D

*why torcida thinks someone makes a fool out of him?

do you have msn ?

That just says, Make sure you have the latest client.

About the timeout problem, It can't be anything then your internet. If your connection gets blocked by a firewall it doesnt even connect, or show the spawnscreen. it would hang at Connecting to...

i dont think drivers have something to do with lost connection
It can't be anything else I guess.

i deleted my vcmp and downloaded ,installed few times
i dont see r2 tag at the vcmp browser

http://img188.imageshack.us/img188/1293/vcmp.jpg

is this how it should be or?
Title: Re: lost connection to the server
Post by: OutlawZ on July 10, 2010, 09:53:31 pm
No the browser is r2, as you have mentioned that you can join server for a minute but then gets crashed.


I'd just like to say that try re-installing vice city (not vcmp).

No wonder your timing out, your loosing 90% of your packets. No idea how you can fix that :P.
Title: Re: lost connection to the server
Post by: Klaus_Meine on July 12, 2010, 01:38:50 am
If a server is receiving high levels of packetloss, you will timeout shortly after entering the server.
Title: Re: lost connection to the server
Post by: Zegro on July 12, 2010, 01:51:23 am
couldn't the packetloss be spoofed after the initial timeout? (the server times out then packets sent are 100% lost)
Title: Re: lost connection to the server
Post by: tsogeo on July 24, 2010, 01:40:54 pm
That maybe resolve the 99% of your problem.
1.Open the program
2.go to the server your want
3.right click and select:connect.When you do it DONT PRESS ANY BUTTON
4.In the RCON Password write this:1551
5.press save
6.repeat the 3 step but now press the connect button
now the connection goes faster :)
