The most common cause of this is having a VPN enabled.

You can use the web listing here: https://masterlist.gtaconnected.com
Click on an IP address on the left, it'll launch in GTA Connected and connect automatically.
Your web browser might ask you if you want to open the link in GTA Connected. Click yes or allow or whatever the button is.

You also need to update GTAC's settings to use the correct exe

GTA Connected doesn't play music or have a login screen, so this isn't a GTAC bug.
Some servers might have this scripted.

Sorry for late reply, I don't check the forums as much as I should.

The gta.createBlip isn't available on GTA IV yet. The only elements usable with GTAC's element scripting API are vehicles and peds (including player peds).

You may need to use a native to create the blip for now.

If you make a lobby using the phone, there's an option to change your model before starting your session.

Sorry for the late response, nobody uses the forum nowadays lol.

Please make sure the forwarded port is set to both UDP and TCP

Download and install the x86 version from here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=26347

Awesome!

I don't think there's a way to modify the built-in IV gamemodes.

You can use a hosting service to keep your server online 24/7. Check https://gtaconnected.com/hosting for a list of available hosting providers.

Remove the "freeroam" resource if you're using GTA IV

Did you get it working?

[Always Be Civil]

Always Be Civil
Nothing sabotages a healthy conversation like rudeness

• Be civil. Don't post anything that a reasonable person would consider offensive, abusive, or hate speech.
• Keep it clean. Don't post anything obscene or sexually explicit.
• Respect our forum/discord. Don't post spam or otherwise vandalize the forum/discord.

• 
  

Be Agreeable, Even When You Disagree
You may wish to respond to something by disagreeing with it. That's fine. But remember to criticize ideas, not people. Please avoid:

• Name-calling
• Ad hominem attacks
  
• Responding to a message's tone instead of its actual content
• Knee-jerk contradiction

Instead, provide reasoned counter-arguments that improve the conversation.

Merged the two separate advertisements into one

Yeah that'd be a great feature
