I'm really out of ideas!!!

[Guest]

Here's the deal: I keep getting disconnected because "another user is using this nick". That CAN'T be true because every nick I use is absurd an no one else would use it. I think that's more a connection problem so if any IT www & network expert would be so kind to help me out here with some ideas... please

stop triple clicking the connect button when trying to connect. click it once, it will freeze for a few seconds. dont keep tapping it.

I don't triple click on the connect button. I doubleclick on the server name and manage to play for about 20-30 seconds after which I get disconnected for the reason I previously said. And I'm running out of nicks now!

[Slothman]

have you tried manually typing in the ip?

You're probably the target of a new hack by the notorious hackers of MTA...

Sounds more like a rogue mtama script to me. Try a different server.

w8 more than 10 secs when u want 2 reconnect to the server

Anyone knows what port must be open for MTA: VC?

[Guest]

Depends on the server you are playing on. 2003 and 2004 seem like the most common.

Unless you have a NAT or Proxy, ports do not need to be opened for outbound connections, only inbound, and as far as I can gather from this topic, it's not him that's hosting the server.

You can connect to the server, so closed ports are not the problem.

Your name is "HackJack" so the script could be kicking you because of the word "hack". Try connecting with different nicks that are unlikely to be blocked. Note: some scripts block "Player" and "MTAPlayer" as well, which I find a little excessive.
