i heard its beta and the netcode sucks.

Edit: the next release is supposed to have a completely overhauled client/server system, that will be MUCH better than whats in it now.

just got it, gonna try it anyway because GTA2MP owned back in the day.

Edit: looks like when it is in multiplayer mode it locks the game at 640x480, also the only VC all seeing eye server is password locked, so im running the server via lan and just playing around. Looks like theres no peds, traffic, or cops either. ** confirmed **

Also theres some severe glitches throughout the world... link coming with the back of the vercetti estate all messed up.

now im playing it at 6XS AA and 8x aniso :p it looks like i usually play it now just blurry.

Anyone wanna try joining my dedicated server? PM for info.

Reported the clipping error to the MTA team.

Noticed some advantages to MTA, it "remembers" where all the vehicles and things were left behind etc. It has a fully integrated chat system, and it seems to run pretty crash free. Although in the forums theres a lot of WinXP users getting crash bugs. Just another reason to get Win2k!

I see your server listed in ASE.

I'd join/play for a bit, but I've been at it for like 5 hours straight.

Sleep's a bitch.. :(

Later.. :beer:

Edit: its up

Edit2: i saw you timed out a few times, make sure you have the Vice City 1.1 patch installed from GTAs site, and make sure you have the right settings selected.

do you have the 1.1 patch installed?

Also in the MTA window, do you have V1.1 selected?

Are you running windows XP? theres a known networking problem related to windows XP only as well.

All the connection problems seem to be bandwidth related, running a dedicated server and LAN it runs great :)

hopefully when they implement the new client/server system itll cut the bandwidth usage way back.

:Q Bad csyberblue.

I don't know the answer to that. Why not try it?
