Indeed. I love the race-modification.

As I gathered. So will the DM release include a new version of race, or is the racemod a thing of the past?

Cheaters do annoy me, but I'd rather play and have to deal with cheaters than not be able to play at all. Does the race mod work on your computer, or do you not have the 'current' (released) version on it?

They are different applications... why would you even post about compatibility with a different modification? He's a dev, I think he knows their similarities and differences very well. You're right! I jumped to a conclusion there and thought he/she was referring to the OTHER DM modification that's out. Well this is good news - because at least I'll be able to play the new DM version when it comes out!

What do you mean? I want to play the racemod!

They are different applications... why would you even post about compatibility with a different modification?

If the map is made correctly, then checkpoints are not a real issue... but perhaps having them numbered on the minimap would be a helpful option?

I use a keyboard for driving/boating, but a joystick for flying.

Yes, I appreciate the time-constraints. I'm not, however, assuming that Vista support is easy. I very much admire the MTA developers for creating such a brilliant program - something that's definitely beyond my abilities! But I do believe that taking a look now is better than leaving it until later. If you take a look now and a fix is found, brilliant... but if no fix can be found, then at least you know the seriousness of the problem and so you can therefore plan the rest of the modification's development around this. Leaving it until later is bad because you'll not only delay Vista-users in being able to play the modification, but you'll also have a flood of people in January asking why their favourite computer game doesn't work on their spanking-new computers! As I said before, I would be more than happy to work with / help the developers in finding the source of the problem and finding a fix for it ([email protected] if you're interested). Thank you for replying though - that much is most appreciated.

Please don't respond so aggressively to a topic which clearly you know nothing about. As of today, Windows Vista (the 'business' package) has been released for general sale. Granted, the consumer release of Vista isn't going to be until January, however right now there are still thousands of people who have installed the 'final' version due to either academic licencing, free-copies (given to BETA-testers like me) and MSDN subscribers. Ask yourself this: who is actually more likely to be running the MTA modification? Is it people who will go out and buy a Dell computer in January (no, but some will), or will it be people who are knowledgable about technology and have already installed the new (yes, the CURRENT) version of Windows - Vista (lots!). Clearly it is the latter option. Windows Vista has been available for free BETA-testing for months (which I have done, and surely the developers of MTA could have done too), and now Vista is 'RTM', which means it is actually RIGHT NOW the most up to date and 'current' version of Windows. Worrying about Vista LATER is like saying "we are going to continue developing horse-shoes" when cars had been invented! In fact, copies of Vista RTM can be downloading and installed without a licence key (for a 30 day period), so there really is no excuse for the developers of a popular modification not to be able to at least investigate the issue. The developers should look into solving the 'Vista problem' now. Why? Well firstly, so that everyone who is about to enjoy a Christmas holiday will be able to play MTA without cursing the developers, and secondly so that when Vista is released in January, there wont be a terrible flood of people saying "why doesn't MTA work in Vista? This sucks!". And finally, Leviathan, do not refer to me as 'stupid' just because I'm running the latest version of Windows. Don't tell me that you are dual-booting Windows XP and Windows ME? I'm pretty sure you aren't, so therefore it's superfluous to instruct me to dual-boot the two most recent copies of Windows. If you're not going to upgrade to Vista due to cost, or hardware compatibility, don't take it out on me. Get with the times and understand that if you're not running the cutting-edge, then you've fallen behind. Simply calling the issue 'irrelevant' is a cop-out, and is a clearly myopic point to be making. Therefore I am urging the developers to at least discuss the situation with someone who is currently running Vista and hopefully at least find the underlying issue with the incompatibility.

Bump? Does the development team not read these 'problem' forums? I'd be happy to work with the development team to find the cause of the problem. Anyone?

Bump?

Windows Vista has now been "released to manafacturer" (RTM phase) and I am running it already (I'm a BETA-tester and I got a free full-version copy). I think it's important to get a release out ASAP for Vista, even if it just means making some changes to the CURRENT client. I found it odd that the Grand Theft Auto games work fine... but Multi Theft Auto does not.
