Either use windowed mode in the GTAC Launcher settings, or use borderless via zolikapatch.

My game is on Steam, RG Launcher, or CD/DVD, can I still play GTAC?

Yes, check our downgrading guide.

What are the in-game key binds for typing chat messages?

For III, VC, and SA, use the t key to start typing.
For IV, use the single-player chat key to start typing, which by default is the y key.

Can I send a crash dump?

Yes, check our crash dumps guide.

How do I customize my character's appearance in IV?

Use Zmenu.

Firstly, check if the server list is working via a web browser.
If the server list is working, secondly check that your internet DNS settings are configured correctly, more specifically ensure that your preferred DNS server IP address is valid.

Which server settings do I use for an IV sandbox mode?

Option 1: Use <iv_nativemultiplayer>false</iv_nativemultiplayer> and don't specify <iv_gamemode>.
Option 2: Use <iv_nativemultiplayer>true</iv_nativemultiplayer> and <iv_gamemode>30</iv_gamemode>, which is a sandbox but using R* multiplayer.

How do I fix the server error message "SERVER LISTING: Failed to ping the server."?

If you are not using a paid hosting service, (eg. hosting from home, etc.), you will likely need to forward a port in your router to the server's PC.
