Gta iv multiplayer servers not showing

[John gilbert]

I upgraded gta iv to patch 1.0.8.0 from 1.0.7.0 to play multiplayer! I entered the key which i found on a youtube video for the GFWL. Firstly when i opened custom match it was showing a message below saying. Your NAT type is strict. I turned firewall off and that message stoped appering. But when i search for a server game it says 50 servers or whatever number found. But the servers do not apper. Anyone plz help. Its very annoying after a lot of research i found the product key. And sorry for bad english.

And when i start a quick game when i press y to open chat it does not allow me to chat and gives a statement "You do not have sufficient privileges for network text chat". Anyone knowns the solution of these problems?

Forgot mentioning about the chat problem in the lobby

It's not that the multiplayer lobbies aren't showing, it's that there aren't any when you were looking. ''50 servers found'' is bugged and has been for quite a while.

In regards to Chat, it seems like your account has parental control enabled. Try to turn it off on the Xbox website or just make a new account (you don't have to use a product key again).

On top of that, if you can, I recommend either turning on UPnP or Port Forwarding GFWL ports to make sure your NAT is Open (if it isn't already)

Finally, a discord to find people to play with:
