"GTA Online" - the most popular multiplayergame for today. Despite the fact that the project was released several years ago, licensed copies of GTA 5 still buy like hot cakes. However, for so many years after the release of the creators did not solve all the problems. And if with a single game everything is in order, then the multiplayer mode suffers from cheaters, server problems and constant lags. We will understand why it is impossible to establish a connection with the Rockstar servers, what reasons this error can have and how to fix it.
Types of connection problems
All faults can be divided into two categories- problems with the computer and problems with the servers themselves, "Rockstar." In the first case, you can fix mistakes yourself and solve problems, after which you can still launch the online mode of "GTA 5" and enjoy the gameplay with your friends. But in the second case, the player is not able to do anything. The fall of the Rockstar servers even after so many years is a common occurrence, which no longer surprises the players. So how do you fix the error "it's impossible to establish communication with Rockstar GTA servers", if you are sure about the proper operation of the servers?
Troubleshoot the PC
First of all, check the connection to the Internet. Without it, you will not get access to the online mode of "GTA 5", which means that you will not be able to connect to the servers either.
If the Internet connection is stable, thenwe turn to other problems, because of which it is impossible to establish communication with the servers of Rockstar. The first of these is the errors in the game files, in particular, in the service of the Social Club. If you are using a licensed version of the game from the Steam store, then follow these steps: open the game library and look for "GTA 5" in it, go to "Properties" and "Local files". In the selected section, click on "Check the integrity of game files". After the scan is finished, the service downloads missing files for both "GTA 5" and Social Club, after which you can try to reconnect to the servers.
There is another way to solve the problemthrough changing the settings of the firewall. If, after all the methods described in the article, you still can not connect to the Rockstar servers, then use the firewall change.
Open the firewall settings through the panelmanagement. Open "Advanced Settings" and go to "Inbound Rules". Now click on "Create rule" - "For port". Select TCP and enable the connection. Enter a name for the created permission and click "Finish". Next, you need to create another resolution, only the TCP protocol must be replaced with UPD.
Now you need to find all the rules with the nameGTA V. Click on it and select "Protocols and ports". Then check "All ports". Do this operation with all permissions concerning the game. Save the changes and try to start the game again after restarting the computer.
Problems with servers
GTA V Online players often complain aboutthe instability of servers and the difficulty of connecting to them. Unfortunately, in this case you will not be able to influence the solution of the problem in any way. Server crashes often occur due to prevention or high loads, which are associated with the great popularity of online (for example, after the release of global updates). You can only wait and periodically check the online mode.
