Try installing this. If it gives options for Repair or Uninstall, do a Repair install. Also update DirectX runtimes.

There were several people running W7 in the test and only you and LooooP were having any issues with launching Vice with 0.5r2, so I'd lean towards an issue with VC or W7 misconfiguration. If you still have the beta installer, you can reinstall VC and MTA 0.5r2 and join any MTA 0.5 server to see if it launches.

What are you talking about, no roadmap? Isn't this the roadmap?

Here's a working link. Sorry about that. There will be an update to MTA 0.5 in a week most likely, so stay tuned for that.

Yep, most likely coincidence in that case. I'm also glad to hear that sync didn't worsen from 0.5, since there's more stuff running constantly in the SCM now (such as stunting/unique jumps, extra checks for some conditions, etc) which would potentially slow things down for time-critical things such as sync, but then again most of the sync-related code in the SCM is not as time-critical as stuff done by MTAClient and MTAServer, so any effect would likely go unnoticed.

I believe all chat and extreme desync issues were caused by my connection trying to cope with 23 players, so those would hopefully be relatively rare given a good host. Were the crashes with vehicles in GTA3:MTA only? They may be related to the carjacking issue previously mentioned, or something else entirely. Since they're both when reversing a vehicle, maybe it's reproducible. Thanks for the feedback!

I'd say it's just MTAServer inefficiency.

Was it in my laggy server, or did you notice it in x86's server as well? I couldn't even chat in my own server after a bit.

Mexican ammo accumulation and other weapon retaining bugs fixed. File path issue requires client work. Ambulance HP/Enforcer armor/Golf club from Caddy/Shotgun shells from Police are easy memory fixes already done by vice-players team, I can put them in. Walking weapon bugs probably requires client work, need to confirm in stock 0.5. Need to confirm that chat bug.

If you have a 1.0 crack, you don't need to do anything else.

Testing went well, with 23 players capping out my home connection! x86 graciously provided a better connection to host with and testing concluded just now at 16:20 EST. Several bugs were found: Vice DM: Some players had issues with a crash during game loading on Windows 7 Spawning as a Sailor then Robber (for example) retains M4 and grenades Grenades/molotovs firing distances is not synced, will have to fix weapon.dat to retain maximum distance but also keep jumping Infinite grenades/molotovs glitch (which was present in 0.5 too) GTA3 SSV: Gamemode starting is not synced properly Carjacking produces a crash All of these issues except the Windows 7 and infinite grenades/molotovs will definitely be fixed before release. Thanks to everybody who tested, and x86 for providing server hosting!

As said above, if all settings are at their lowest there isn't much you can do, most likely. Could you provide a dxdiag report? Press the Windows key + R, type dxdiag, press Enter, click Save all information... and post the contents of the saved log here within tags.

Any HOODLUM 1.0 No-CD should work fine. Obviously I can't link one to you, search for it on Google.

Need testers tomorrow for MTA 0.5r2, around 2PM EST (7PM GMT). Join #mtavc on IRC (irc.gtanet.com) around the testing time if interested. Please have both GTA3 and Vice (whichever ones you have) installed beforehand!

Try deleting gta_sa.set in the GTA San Andreas User Files directory in your Documents folder.

Does this issue happen on non-Race servers?

Please install the following: Graphics driver Audio driver Chipset driver Ethernet driver (please read the included README.HTM for installation instructions; your adapter will be "Marvell Yukon 88E8040 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller" under "Network Adapters" in Device Manager) Wireless LAN driver (follow the same instructions as Ethernet driver, your adapter will be "Atheros AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter" under "Network Adapters" in Device Manager) DirectX runtimes After installing all of the above, please provide another dxdiag report. If you can't figure out a driver installation, post back here or PM me. Thank you for your screenshots and dxdiag log!

Please download and install this. If it gives options to repair or uninstall, do a repair install.

That's most likely your issue. If you have issues with a real copy of GTA:SA, we'll be here to help you out.

Where did you buy your copy of GTA:SA?

Which version of GTA:SA do you have?

US version EXE will work.

Try reinstalling both GTA:SA and MTA:SA regardless.

You're probably just noticing the effects of the frame limiter which caps at 25FPS. Do you notice anything wrong in single player GTA?

So the only slowdown is when passing through clouds in an air vehicle?
