Cannot join to server

A potential solution (but still unknown by many) is to rename the GTA San Andreas folder in C:/Program files/Rockstar Games. Rename it to GTA San Andreas 2 then run SA:MP. It will tell you that it cannot find where the .exe of your shortcut is (gtasa.exe), then you have to show it the renamed folder.

I don't use mods, I only had problem once with SA:MP, but this helped. I hope this helps for you too.

(when I had this problem, SA:MP started but blacked out when loading.)
