I can’t connect to some servers because when I get there and all the server files are finished loading, I get this error. I’ve asked many people, and their advice hasn’t helped, so I’m asking here. I’ve changed the DNS to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4, and it still doesn’t work. I’ve also disabled the VPN, and I still can’t connect. Could someone help?

Hey, the downloading of server files is done using the TCP protocol, while the actual server connection uses UDP, as the error message specifies. What is likely going on is that you have some firewall that is blocking the UDP connection. In can be:
in your router settings. Disable anything claiming to be Security or Firewall there
in Windows, try temporarily disabling the Firewall for public and private networks to see if it fixes the issue. If it does, make an exclusion for FiveM and turn it back on
360security has been known to cause issues with FiveM, but in the form of crashes. I haven’t seen it block joining servers but you can try temporarily turning it fully off to see https://www.youtube.com/shorts/8cIWA0DbtHU
@Gogsi123 I did what you said and it didn’t help, but I realized I only get this error with servers connected to Steam. Meaning, you have to have Steam running to join, but on other servers that don’t require Steam, I can join normally. I don’t know if that’s the issue, but maybe this will help solve the problem.
That’s likely a coincidence, it makes 0 sense for Steam to be causing you to not connect to the server entirely; if it was a Steam fault you should be able to at least start connecting.
Chances are this is a network fault or some kind of network-level blocking going on
but when they are connected to the server, the files are loaded normally and when they are all loaded to the device that is supplied or something and when it appears 3 to turn off
