HELP! MTA:SA Connection Keeps Timing Out

[Xenon787]

Hey guys so i was trying to install and play MTA:SA on my pc but a problem arose when it said "Connection Timed out" no matter what server i tried connecting to. this was happening when i tried launching the mta sa that was on the Program Files (x86) and when i launched the one in my main directory (D:/Games/mta_sa) it gave me a stack allocation crash report which was:
