PLS People, I really need help here. I have recently aquired GTA V for PC, and have been playing it non-stop, however, I can't stay connected to any session online for more than 10 minutes without everyone "leaving" the session. I tried everything here, even with my computer on DMZ mode, it still does this. I really need a fix pls!
 
Then I suggest Ivan that if you connect through a router via a wired or wireless connection.

That you enter the firmware setup menu of the router by logging into the router.


Check the Status of your hardware firewall of the router, if it`s enabled and set to high.
Change the setting to medium even if you are using the DMZ mode of the router.

And if you have not set any port forwarding for Gta 5 you look up the port ranges required to be forwarded, and enter them in the router.

Check the system you play Gta V on and turn off any software based firewalls running.
That includes the one windows os has by default. as part of security centre or security tools.

Or any virus based software that also incorporates any firewall protection.

Never run two firewalls at the same time be it a mix of a software based firewall and a hardware one of a router you are connected to.

Only have one or the other running ok. See if it fixes the disconnects.
If you use wi-fi to play GTA V online you are far better in using a wired connection if you suffer disconnection from game servers.

For web browsing, and watching you tube videos or watching tv on demand wi-fi is ok but for gaming always try to use a wired connection from your system to the router if you do not currently have a wired connection at least give it a go to see if it resolves the disconnection from game servers. it does make for a more reliable connection.

Good luck Ivan all the best.

Thank you for those advices, however I having a error notified when I try to add a new port on my router settings. It says "The Internet Gateway did not accept your changes..." and then I can't add anything, I've searched for a solution but didn't really get an answer, perhaps you know how to bypass that?
