need help quick connect problems

[heavy air]

hi all

i seem to be having problems when using quick connect and was wondering if there is any other way of join servers by their ip address

if i use the server browser i can join servers no problem at all. But when i try to join a server using quick connect i always get connection time out

i can use quick connect to join my own server and have two other pcs that can join on my home network so im really not sure what the problem is

i have tried 6 or 7 different servers from game-monitor.com but all time out. I tried 2 from the U.K. as thats where im based but still no luck

any ideas greatly appreciated as i really want to find an RP server as my scripting abilitys arent up to making my own

Specs

Mta nightly 1.0 r1115

Windows XP

AMD 64 x2 processor

2 Gb ram

Ati x300 graphics

It should work.. the only thing i can think of is that your not entering the port correctly..

say on game monitor you found:

125.125.21.21:22004

and then on quick connect you will see somthing like

Server ip

125.125.21.21

port

22004

if that dont work type into internet explorer or run or somthing like this:

mtasa://125.125.21.21:22004

Thanks for the reply

pretty sure i had port numbers right but ill give the explorer thing a try

still just get connection timeout

: 81.19.209.183:5435 SAES RPG

this is server im trying from game-monitor.com

it says its uk based and only 7 / 100 players so it should be ok i would have thought. I know rpg servers are sometimes slower than others due to all the extra data but theres only 7 players and im pretty sure SAES has been around for quite some time

i will keep trying other servers and will post any results

thanks again for the help

EDIT : 2

success it seems to be connecting ok now ( just keep getting client / server version errors AAAArrrggghhhhh ) but at least its workin now

the server you quoted is running on dp2 not on a nightly build, so you won't be able to connect to it using the nightly.

try mta.vces.net:22003 (it is one of the test servers that auto updates, so you will need the latest build in order to successfully connect to it)

hi again

another slight problem but not to drastic

i have downgraded my MTA 1.0 to R-1064 but when i try to join VALHALLAGAMING server i get this error

i found the server in the MTA general discussion forum https://forum.multitheftauto.com/viewtopic.php?f=87&t=24413

IP address 67.310.235.106 PORT 22003

client ver 13d ----------- server ver 13b

that may not be exactly right but server is definetly 2 versions older than my client but there are no older versions available to download on the google code page

can i find them anywhere else

or if anyone can direct me to good RPG server using more recent version of MTA 1.0 that would work just as well ( dont mind if its a bit buggy i just really wanna see what can be done by a decent scripter as i havent gotten very far with learning LUA myself yet )

THANKS FOR ANY HELP

you might also want to check the vg forums to see look up the revision they're using atm

Thank for the reply

i have been to the VALHALLA GAMING homepage but it only lists server version as 1.0 ( no revision or update number )

and game-monitor.com says the same

i have looked on the mta google code page but the oldest version they have R - 1064 and i need the one that is 2 versions earlier ( i think going on experiments with 3 pcs i have on network running different versions to generate version number errors )

if anybody out there has been keeping all the updates i would really appreciate it if u could post a link to it for me ( like fileshack or something )

i cant remember all the version numbers but i think i need r - 1060

thanx for any help

EDIT : problem solved

i had to join the valhalla gaming website to search the forums properly but i eventually found the right version

once again thanks for all help guys
