Leviathan Posted February 26, 2006 Posted February 26, 2006 so if it isn't programmed, it has to be another error then? so post your error exactly here.
derhitman Posted February 26, 2006 Author Posted February 26, 2006 when i refresh server list... --------------------------------------------- pinging 207 servers.... scanning 207 servers... idle --------------------------------------------- thats the problem i got picture below : http://www.yourfilehost.com/media.php?cat=image&file=GTA_SA.JPG i said before... i tried the router solution allready and also shut down firewall allready
bloodeye Posted February 26, 2006 Posted February 26, 2006 That is correct! i have that, and server start with 9999ping and update with their names etc, but are you not having any server names appearing? Ps i also got the 'Connection timed out' ALOT seems that once i have joined a game its more likely to let me join others Edit: Ok maybe its not normal if you click refresh and a dialong box appears stating 'could not connect to server list' i also get that
Towlies Posted February 26, 2006 Posted February 26, 2006 It sounds alot like the ports arnt forwarded on your router.
Leviathan Posted February 26, 2006 Posted February 26, 2006 hmm, you could allways try to join servers via game-monitor or the direct join url.
xGj Posted February 27, 2006 Posted February 27, 2006 /me slaps devs around with secret "idle error" they coded into mtasa Anyway, I think ports need to be forwarded on your router or perhaps your firewall blocks it, because of all the unscanned servers, about the idle.. that isnt an error, it means the browser has nothing to do atm. Its first pinging all servers, then scanning their names and then its idle.
Jani Posted February 27, 2006 Posted February 27, 2006 I'm sure that not having open ports would cause this error.
Leviathan Posted February 27, 2006 Posted February 27, 2006 normally you only have to open ports in a router when running a server... I never open ports for just online play, I never need to open them...
derhitman Posted February 28, 2006 Author Posted February 28, 2006 have played mta : VC so.... and when i use quick connect and pick server from a website (whats posted allong other posts) i cant connect it
NapsK Posted February 28, 2006 Posted February 28, 2006 Have you installed some 'nvidia-firewalls' or other features of it? If so: Turning them off doesn't work, you have to remove it! I had that too, and it worked, it has nothing to do with ports I guess.
derhitman Posted March 1, 2006 Author Posted March 1, 2006 no firewalls.... i play mmorpg also... and america's army... enemy territory.. etc etc...
Leviathan Posted March 1, 2006 Posted March 1, 2006 Have you installed some 'nvidia-firewalls' or other features of it? WHAT?? NVIDIA-FIREWALLS??? never heard of that... lol (*starts some research to nvidia firewalls*)
NapsK Posted March 1, 2006 Posted March 1, 2006 Not my problem. I had drivers installed from my motherboard. ( Because I bought a new one ), and yes, there were features of Nvidia firewall, which I had installed.
Leviathan Posted March 1, 2006 Posted March 1, 2006 oh, you got a nforce chipset, I thought you were meaning some developed software.
derhitman Posted March 2, 2006 Author Posted March 2, 2006 well.... something new guys.... i first checked windows firewall... it was off.... and suddenly it was on now prolly went on for computers own savety well.... i now get connection timed out when picking a server i go try router stuff again.
NapsK Posted March 2, 2006 Posted March 2, 2006 You can restart it.. Or look for other possibilities like programs..
derhitman Posted March 2, 2006 Author Posted March 2, 2006 what you mean? i refreshed like 5 times... and tried different servers
derhitman Posted March 4, 2006 Author Posted March 4, 2006 btw... i used some program "draw increaser" so i could look further... is that the problem?
