Connect Issues

🖥️ Connectivity Fix Guide

Having trouble connecting to Zenith RP? Follow this comprehensive troubleshooting guide to resolve common connection issues. These steps fix 90% of connectivity problems related to network configuration, drivers, and client corruption.

⚠️ Note: Always run commands as Administrator and ensure your system meets the minimum requirements to run RageMP.

🔧 Step 1: Flush DNS & Reset Network​

This clears corrupted network data and resets your connection stack.

Instructions:​

  1. Open the Start Menu
  2. Type CMD
  3. Right-click on Command Prompt → Run as Administrator
  4. Run the following commands one at a time:
ipconfig /flushdns
netsh winsock reset

✅ This resets your DNS cache and Windows socket configuration — critical for connecting to game servers.

🔄 Step 2: Prepare Before Restarting​

Before rebooting your PC, complete these essential checks:

  • ✅ Update NVIDIA Drivers
    Go to NVIDIA Driver Downloads and install the latest version.

  • ✅ Temporarily Disable Windows Defender / Security
    Antivirus or firewall settings may block RageMP. Disable them temporarily during connection attempts.

  • ✅ Reset Your Router
    Unplug your router for 30 seconds, then plug it back in. This refreshes your external IP and clears network congestion.

  • ✅ Restart Your PC
    After completing the above, restart your computer to apply all changes.

🚨 Step 3: If Still Not Fixed​

If you're still unable to connect, perform a clean reinstall of the game client.

Instructions:​

  1. ⚠️ Completely delete RageMP folder from your system
    • Default location: C:\Program Files\RageMP or C:\Users\[YourName]\RageMP
  2. 🔁 Repeat Step 1 and Step 2 above
  3. 🚀 Reinstall RageMP from the official site: https://rage.mp
  4. Launch RageMP and reconnect to Zenith RP

💡 Tip: Avoid third-party mods or overlays that may interfere with the connection.

⚡ Final Notes:

  • Ensure JavaScript is enabled in your browser (required for Discord and web panels)
  • Keep your OS and GPU drivers up to date
  • Use a wired connection if possible for better stability

By following these steps, most connection issues — including timeouts, handshake failures, and DNS errors — will be resolved.
