Hey,
I made this thread with the same problem before! It is really frustrating, now new problem arose which is making me believe, they use AI to I guess modify the .exe - keep in mind I don't have any problem with AI for scripting for fun, or upgrading scripts - but modyfing .exe and the core of MTA and having this many problems this is baffling.
Now another problem that I have is that the game :Oing updates for 2-3 minutes sometimes even, without an update progress bar. So the process is still there, in task manager - and it's just "silently updating" which is beyond stupid, because you don't know if at that point - MTA crashed, or god knows what happened. After 1-2 minutes (or 3 minutes even) it manages to launch but then - Integrity Violation or other :Oing crash might pop up. This is extremally frustrating, and I'm thinking about abandoning MTA and just playing SAMP at this point. The same problem occurs with oCam (recording program) that I can only record with, high quality - because OBS has those bitrate problems on "worse computers" and oCam is straight up crashing giving the integrity violation. I'd use Bandicam or Fraps - but these ain't free, and Bandicam has a watermark, and Fraps... records with AVI and after 1 minute of recording I have like 20gb recording. oCam triggers integrity violation, before it was a bit better - it could record the menu but crashed the game upon joining any server (no AC issues). Keep in mind, oCam records base game (singleplayer) perfectly in full HD, without no issues at all, one of the best recording programs for lower-end PC's (well I have a medium spec PC but it ain't that good and I can't play newer games)
The sad thing about is when I was inside the Discord, many other people report those issues - and guess what? Nobody :Oing cares. Like old admin - KWK (which left the MTA staff long time ago) said, when I spoke with him on his private server few years ago, said that those people are underskilled and are making MTA worse. You can change it, by posting the same problem and liking the problem enquiries on MTA Blue Github (i also posted about this issue and got 2 likes already) so maybe they will finally start :Oing caring about this
I have a temp fix for HB timeout but only if you have your own private server, do this:
Go to MTAserver.conf and look for this:
<!-- Comma separated list of disabled anti-cheats.
For details see https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/Anti-cheat_guide
e.g. To disable anti-cheat #2 and #3, use: 2,3 -->
<disableac>TYPE **95** HERE</disableac>
so it looks like this:
<disableac>95</disableac>
Theoretically if you know a server owner he can disable it for you on a public server but this might be an issue since it's Anti-Cheat releated.
And you will get rid of the problem, also need to do the same for Map Editor server (editor.conf). I never had it happened on public server.
Try joining my server that is running on a Polish hosting for 80+ more days: Vanilla | Classic Race Server | 24/h @1shot1kill.pl it doesn't have any AC restrictions but it works just fine for me without any tweaks, and it is a public server.
I was a MTA:SA Pro Racer from 2013-2017 (playing in pro games) and there were no streaming issues like this back then, but when racers demanded more FPS on servers they started to arose - like on spectating, if someone goes too fast, then spectators for example see objects dissapear and mta starts to spill out LOD's all over the place (streaming issues). I don't really look at these Map Editor stuffs as something bad I just never cared when it happened, but if it's not map editor then wow. We tried to fix it with others on our own, on our servers but to no avail. Sad part about this is MTA devs will not address that such problem is affecting so many different people. If you want to see my thread on GitHub about this, give it a like or something so more people see this: https://github.com/multitheftauto/mtasa-blue/issues/4922
Oh I forgot to mention - MTA after update leaves upCache file, which is 200mb, thanks that I have WinDirStat program I can track it down and delete it, it's clogging the disk sometimes - delete it and free up your disk space if you can It's also stupid, it should auto-delete after update, but idk maybe it needs to be there and that's why it constantly auto-updates in mine because I always clean that garbage up. I guess I need to consider moving to SAMP and doing MTA-like racing there, with toptimes and such. Last time I played samp was like 2009 or 2010 with a :~ty 500 ping internet lol
