MTA SA can't join Server
Recently when I am trying to join any MTA Server it takes a while to load but after a couple of seconds it says: Connection Timed Out (CC23). What can I do to fix it?

Please download, extract and run MTADiag[nightly.mtasa.com] and follow the instructions.

Press 'n' when asked.

Post any Pastebin URL MTADiag gives you.

Please try doing these steps:

In the rare case that you do not know why you can't connect to any server, we recommend doing these steps:
- backup any useful data related to MTA:SA (resources, screenshots, logfiles etc.)
- uninstall MTA:SA
- uninstall GTASA
- remove all folders that are related to MTA:SA/GTASA which might have been left:
-- C:\ProgramData\MTA San Andreas All
-- C:\Program Files (x86)\MTA San Andreas (or wherever you have installed MTA:SA)
-- C:\Program Files (x86)\Rockstar Games\Grand Theft Auto San Andreas (or wherever you have installed GTASA)

- scan your PC thoroughly with an Antivirus and Antimalware software
- make a clean install of GTASA (pirated copies are not recommended as they might have been modified. Don't own the game? Get it on Steam.)
- download the MTA:SA client from our homepage (http://www.mtasa.com) then install it. Try installing it on a different partition if possible, or in a location that's outside C:\Program Files (x86) directory
- do not install any third party GTA mods
- take great caution when using any third party addons to MTA (skins, resources, etc.)
- do not use any cheating devices (obviously), but also avoid any software that may affect your network, the game or their performance in any way that could give you an unfair advantage over other players in the game

Once that is done, try connecting to a server again.

---

This can also be caused by some obscure problems with your internet connection/ISP, or there might be some software installed on your PC that is interfering with it (based on your MTADiag log you seem to have a lot of processes running).

Try uninstalling some of the not explicitly needed programs. Obviously, take caution with that, if you don't know what a certain program does then google its name to find out.

Also try connecting to different servers (with different ports), or try using a different internet connection/VPN if possible.

Ok I have done what you said but it still says Connection Timed out (CC23) when I am trying to join a Server

What about other online games (Dota, CS, TF2, CoD etc.)? Do they work fine for you?

Everything works perfectly expect in MTA:SA

Please uninstall MTA:SA, then try installing a slightly newer build of MTA:SA 1.5.2. You can get it from our ModDB page: http://www.moddb.com/mods/multi-theft-auto-san-andreas/downloads/multi-theft-auto-san-andreas-152
then check if you are still having this problem.

What is your serial number? You can find it out by typing 'serial' command in the console (press ~ key while being ingame or in the main menu to access it).

Also, try connecting to several different servers - maybe it is some kind of a weird ISP routing problem. If that still doesn't work, try connecting to a local server.

Lastly, please run the MTADiag and paste your url again as the previous one has expired.

Ok i have uninstalled MTA:SA and installed the new one. I kinda can't open the console in MTA cause if i press ~ nothing happens. I tried to connect in different servers and also the same problem. And here is the MTADIAG:https://pastebin.mtasa.com/224883830
