[Need Help] I can't connect

[ranchoishaan]

Hello argonath,

I've been away for a long time and decided to play IV:MO again specifically argonath but
When i want to connect to Argonath server due the quick connect it just loads endlesss..
 it just says:
IV:MP T3 initialized..
connecting to    46.105.234.126:9999.
connecting to    46.105.234.126:9999. retrying ...
connecting to    46.105.234.126:9999.
connecting to    46.105.234.126:9999. retrying ...

and this doesnt stop, will someone help me? i have everything installed i guess because it worked before.
BTW the game doesnt crash it just loads for all the time.

Try to type the IP manually, copying the IP and pasting it in IV:MP mostly doesn`t work properly.

If that didn`t work, then try looking at your firewall settings.

I tried it but still didn't work on me, I even did turn off my firewall..

Is it me or you have one unneeded dot on the end of the port number? :P

The images that you provided display a "." at the end of 9999. Check it again, if it's there, remove it.

Have you tried reinstalling your IV:MP client?

If not, go to your IVMP folder, uninstall the client, remove the whole "IVMP" folder completely from your computer, and install IVMP again.. The dot at the end is strange, as we don't receive it when connecting to the server.

According to the issues I've faced with the game  so far, I've never seen or either had such problem, Because a failure status from the client is rarely caused by a missing file or system troubles or whatever. Read again the above replies and follow it.

If the problem is still not solved after all those tries i would be much glad to assist you with more help, Call me on skype.

If nothing works i'd suggest contacting Armelin and see if it may be something else. For example i had to change my name in the settings in order to properly login into the server, i'm not sure if it's anything similiar but give it a shot.

sir I already uninstall the IV:MP client and installed a fresh one, but sadly still didn't work ...

To confirm that the problem is actually not with the IP connecting, can you head to your GTA IV folder, IVMP, and open "Settings" with text file and check the information below?

Spoiler for Hiden:

<settings>
    <ip>46.105.234.126</ip>
    <port>9999</port>
    <nick>player</nick>
    <pass></pass>

</settings>

If it is fine like the one I've provided above, then you should check other obstacles that are disallowing your connection with the server, maybe check your Firewall, antivirus..

[ranchoishaan]

sorry to bother you sir but I already tried my best to fix this problem with your given solutions yet I still cant fix it. I already turned my firewall off and to my antivirus too. but neither works. I uninstall IV:MP already and installed it again but still? it didn't work.. I've been working on it for almost 7 hours but sad to say I still can't connect to the server.

HOPING FOR MORE RESOLUTIONS THAT MIGHT WORK SOON.
i won't stop fixing this too until I can connect to your server again.

THANK YOU/
