Added the fix to the top of OP

I did. Solved the issue without it though.

Requesting this thread to be closed, issue fixed. I had rebooted only after reinstalling as one of my first troubleshooting steps. Rebooting after adding firewall/AV exceptions and flushing DNS seems to have fixed the issue. Original post: The Issue Connecting to any RAGE MP servers causes this. It had worked when I played during August. On occasion-- randomly, from what I can tell-- I will get false hope from the following popups. I have tried: Reinstalling RAGE MP x3 Validating GTA V Rebooting Adding RAGE MP to Firewall / AV Exceptions Flushing DNS Cache The "shift-tab" / "social club" method despite me not being Oceanic Direct connecting to IP Connecting to the server, pressing F1, and trying a direct connect to there Note: When direct connecting to the server via literal IP (51.178.79.228) instead of play.gta.world, sometimes it downloads files, but fails to connect still after doing so. This can also occur from the RAGE MP launcher instead of the F1 menu. Interestingly enough, the default direct connect menu will always display the following as if it is not connecting to the correct IP. Inputting the correct IP here doesn't fix anything unfortunately. I don't really know how else to proceed. Any help would be appreciated.
