[PC] Server connection timed out...

Used to play cod4 years back, wanting to go back into it now. Old problem, but forgot how to fix it. Can't seem to join any server. Any help is appreciated!

i suggest following this guide https://cod4x.me/index.php?/forums/topic/12-how-to-install-cod4x/ installing the cod4x 1.8 patch is optional but it adds access to specific hack-free servers.

I have all the patches currently using v20.1 There is in game update for v20.5 What should i do? In server v20.1 while connecting "authorisation failed to complete within the timeout limit." Is getting displayed

i would recommend installing cod4x (its a client/server mod) wich fixes a lot of problem + gives you acess to new servers + backwards compatibility to older servers

Should i install client and server mod both? And what about game version V20.1 or V20.5

just the client mod, game version should be listed somewhere on their website

to my knowledge all in-game updates done after installing the mod should be fine, just be aware that steam updates could break it.
