DELETEDUSER Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 So here's the problem. I can host my own game with no problems, but trying to connect to other games is well...futile. In custom game menu when i double click the server i want to connect i get one of these massages: Could not connect to game session Other players chose to kick you You have been removed from game Or i am thrown back to custom game menu. Sometimes it even starts a totally new game (flattypuss...) If i manage to connect to a game i usually get LAN to strict message few minutes into game. As i said i have no problems hosting, but connecting to other games is very hard. My specs: Hardware Microsoft Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3 Video Adapter: NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT Video Driver version: 180.48 Audio Adapter: Realtek HD Audio output Intel® Core2 Duo CPU E4500 @ 2.20GHz Thank you for your support.

GammaRaptor Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Check your firewall or somthing maybe the ports are blocking you from joining a game i don't know. Or it is because you got high ping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DELETEDUSER Posted January 20, 2009 Author Share Posted January 20, 2009 Already checked, gta4's exe file is on the 'okay to let go out' list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GammaRaptor Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Could be your ping and connection. Im not entirely sure. Check your ports not the execptions list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DELETEDUSER Posted January 20, 2009 Author Share Posted January 20, 2009 Can you tell me how to check which ports should be opened? P.S. I am from Slovenia, if that affects ping or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GammaRaptor Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Open command prompt type in “netstat -an” and it will show you the “listening” ports Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTAmikkel Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 It seems that I can only play Race. Today I joined a race with 23 people in it (Btw, it was seriously fun), but I can't join Bomb da Base, hangmans noose, etc. then it just creates a match.

Speedy20592 Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 (edited) Hi i'm new in this tread, I have exactly the same problem with GTA IV MP. I tried to forward the given ports. (I used the Portforwarding Site: http://portforward.com/default.htm ). I clicked on my router ( D-Link DI 624+), then there came an advertisement, I clicked on "Click here to skip this advertisement..." After that, a page opened with alot of gametitles and other titles of programs. I went searching for any "GTA IV" or "Rockstar" title, but didn't found one. So I scrolled further and i found "Xbox Live 360". So i clicked on this one. A page opened with the things I had to do to forward the ports I needed. Firstly I had to "Enter Static IP Address" is a small tekstbar. I skipped this (because I didn't know how to do it.) I just entered all the ports I needed to enter in my router. But GTA IV MP still doesn't work. Still same problems. Like in first post of this thread. I also went to firewall and exeptions to make these ports so my firewall let them true. Please HELP I Have GTA IV already 3 month. I played gta IV singleplayer ever since. It's quiet boring now. (I don't want to mod my GTA IV, I don't want to make a mess of my GTA IV files. Thanks in advance! Greetz Speedy20592 I hope i gave enough information for you guys to help me.

Allegro Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 (edited) I had the same problem and I fixed it. My problem was that I didnt open the right ports. I spent about a week searching which ports to open, and finally got this total list: TCP 80 - 80 TCP 53 - 53 UDP 53 - 53 TCP 1096 - 1096 UDP 1096 - 1096 UDP 88 - 88 TCP 3074 - 3074 UDP 3074 - 3074 TCP 2074 - 2074 UDP 2074 - 2074 Open these babies, and in my case this did the trick. Good luck! BTW: please reply if this also worked for you. Could help a lot of people I think, but so far I dont know if this fixes other people's problems too.

Someone PLEASE make this thread a sticky! I didnt have the two 1096 and 2074 ports opened... all others I opened, when i got my new Core i7 rig those ports were opened but in the game i had NAT strict. Been figuring out what to do for weeks until now. Thank you man! Now to get some frags on 1920x1080, all maxed out 100 and high, benchmark test 63fps rofl. GTX295 pwns.

Speedy20592 Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 (edited) So I have to open these ports in my router (D-Link DI 624+)? greetz Speedy20592 Edited April 10, 2009 by Speedy20592 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedy20592 Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 I've added these ports in my router. Today, I could join some servers. (Today i could join 1 server that had free mode, but it disconnected after my PC lost connection with another player on that server or something. After that I also could join a race server. I could actualy race against 2 others (I won, I'm now 750 gta $ richer . but the other 2 players left as soon as the race finished.) I could join these servers but it still takes a lot of tries to finally join 1. so my problem is still not solved.
