It says "connection to the server was lost."

The 'Connection to the server was lost' message is a generic timeout error. It basically means your game stopped receiving network packets from the host.

To fix this, we first need to isolate the issue. Does this happen on EVERY server you try to join, or just one specific server?
If it's only one specific server: The issue is on their end. The server might be experiencing network instability, a DDoS attack, or it's just restarting/crashing.


>  * If it happens on ALL servers, try these steps on your PC:
> 1. Firewall / Antivirus: This is the most common cause. Make sure your Windows Defender or Antivirus is not blocking gta_sa.exe or MTA's network traffic.
> 2. Run as Administrator: Right-click your MTA shortcut and click 'Run as Administrator'. Sometimes Windows restricts network permissions for standard users.
> 3. Connection Stability: MTA is very sensitive to packet loss. If you are using Wi-Fi, a micro-drop in your connection will instantly kick you out. Try plugging in an Ethernet cable or restarting your router.
