GTA1 multiplayer

GTA1 multiplayer Windows version

For sync reasons, you may need to use the same version of Windows as your opponent. This was an old issue with Windows 95/98/ME, I don’t think it still applies to newer Windows versions.

All players must open port 47624 TCP/UDP and ports 2300/2400 TCP/UDP. You might need to disable UPnP and allow GTA1 through your firewall or disable your firewall. There is a program called unpnp.exe that can disable UPnP easily.

Hosting:

1: Give the joiner your IP address
3: Start GTA1 and choose gather network
4: Select your character, city and either cannonball run or deathmatch
5: Select Internet TCP/IP
6: Name your game
7: If you choose deathmatch then you can select points or frags to win
8: You should be on gathering screen. Wait for your friend to join.

Joining:

1: Get the host’s IP address
2: Start GTA1 and choose join network
3: Select your character
4: Select Internet TCP/IP
5: Enter the host’s IP address (you can leave it blank if on LAN/VPN)
6: You should see the name of the host’s game.

Q: How do I send messages?
A: Messages don’t work in GTA1 Windows version. You can send them with F1-F4 but they are never received. It’s a bug and there’s no fix.
