did u place the downgrader inside the gta sa directory and did u run it?

Try them! the most Xp drivers also work on w2k and w2k3

you need to have the original handling.cfg installed. just search for it inside this forum, there are enough topics about client veryfication!

can somebody lend me the data of his/her vehicles.ide please? it is just because http://forum.mtavc.com/viewtopic.php?t=16641 I'm currently deinstalling all game specific mods and recognized that the file I saved as "orig_vehicles.ide" long time ago was already modded. I need a nonmodded original GTA:SA file, nothing else

ever tried to connect directly to a server?

(sorry for spampost)

mine aint that fast, but nearly every other driver who hits me does more damage to me, than he should be getting by banging me and the other way around. still trying to avoid collisions, but that nearly imposible on 32slot servers @spawn. and yeah i have full 25fps and run the standart models

wow, dude! For me this feels like a realy big compensation for all the sync bugs in current beta release. Nice to know now what people can expect for the future. *praise* Not interested in some serious new alpha-testers?

huh, my liteon dvd-drive doesn't even support the reading of Sub-Channel Data.

I got a stpuid 3 yo Lite-on DVD drive and have no other. Fixed my connection problems by changing HANDLING.cfg back to original, as far as I now know its the only thing that has to be done to make MTA verification work But if mod/cheat/whatever -detection changes in next version I`ll have to make sure that I got a dvd with non corupt install files. thx for all the comments

the only problem is that it is pretty hard to KILL gta:mta:sa *g* wehn GTA got error/ crashed and the anti-minimize-function is still running. People who realy wanna start external progs, can still go over ctrl+alt+del and run some macro.

this should go out to more people Had same problem, but couldn't reinstall GTA (DVD got too much scratches). Everybody told me to reinstall or in my case even rebuy the game (or send in DVD), but I just desperately changed HANDLING.cfg and everythings fine now, except some stupid car mods (some modded cars flip over earlier than original ones)

tried 640x480 32bit? <---game looks crapy, but if this doesn't work you have a problem

it can be modded, u just have to make sure u're running the original HANDLING.cfg file. Works for me

I just found out that MTA works with every server as long as the handling.cfg is original, everything else can be modded. (works for me)

do u mean betafield.de Server or betafield.de Stunt server ANTI CHEAT ? cant connect to both

I'm also feeling pissed. an used working copy of san andreas is aviable on amazon.de for 10€. sending in my particially broken copy to http://www.take2.de/index.php?p=support_cdtausch also is about 10€. I also tried clone-cd, but it handles wrong when imaging game-dvds. Man this sucks

thx, but everytime I try copying I get that mentioned crc-error when copying data2.cab. So there must be defect sectors on dvd where data2.cab is placed, therefore I wanna make an image of the gta-dvd. again, U know any good programs except alcohol 120% ?

@[iON]Leviathan: I thought the downgrader might not work with vers. 2.0.. I've already tried to copy the dvd in a whole to HDD, but my tool, alcohol 120%, didnt even find the dvd in drive! so maybe the dvd is realy messed up or my tool just sucks. If you know any other good tool for making DVD-images please post. @Z3RB1AN: yes, that is the error i always get, my scratches also arend that big. - I figured out, there are servers, that allow mod-content, cheats, etc... but they're just a handfull.

I have installed MTA, selected a server and could play without problems. then, when i tried to connect to another server i got this nice "verification failed!" message. I read trough the mta faq, and know now that it would be best to reinstall my GTA:SA. and NOW COMES THE PROBLEM: my GTA dvd looks well-used (some little scrates..) and I'm not able to reinstall with this dvd, because it gives me a crc-error when installing, might be caused by the scratches. My current installed GTA has lots of different mods (any kind of, out there!) and I don't realy wanna delete them (was pretty much work, some mods done myself). I know there's the possibility to send in my copy of GTA:SA pay 10€ and get a new one. but i dont know if i'll be able to play again with a new one(might be stupid new version etc.) Will there be any possibility to play MTA again? PS: sorry for my english
