TOPIC: Fix for connection issues

If you are experiencing connection issues with ZARP servers (connection failed after 4 retries), and wish to play now rather than waiting for a more permenant fix, all you have to do is:

Go into your Steam library, right click on Garry's Mod and go to properties. In the general tab click on "Set Launch Options..." and type the following into the box:
Then simply press Okay and play!

If at a later date this fix stops working for you (if it worked in the past) remove the clientport command from the launch options and then launch Garry's Mod. If it still doesn't work quit Garry's Mod add the command again and then relaunch Garry's Mod and it should work.

I can not guarantee this will work for all of you but it will work for most of you.

This works. Thank you so much!! It really works and I am able to connect to the servers.
Thank you Clocket.

Please don't say things like this without proper testing. All you are doing is discouraging people from trying a fix that in most cases works.

Do note however this is only a temporary fix and is not guaranteed to work all of the time. It will work some of the time however and should be tried.

If it doesn't work, restart steam/or your PC.

There's a guide on how to do it incase you didn't see also.
