I think 0.4 edits weapon.dat, try getting an original weapon.dat and trying that. That won't be your slow down problem but it could be the cause of your other problem. eAi

I stickied it , and changed the topic to match the VC one's. eAi

Changed topic name to hopefully prevent people clicking expecting to see a real patch... eAi

Because this bug only happens on ATI Radeons with out of date video drivers. eAi

We have many exciting features planned for the new core. More information will come in the future. One thing we can promise is that you're going to love it eAi

I would go through that whole post and point out how wrong it is, but I can't be bothered. Its just plain wrong (95% of it anyway). eAi

a) this is the wrong thread b) when we're ready eAi

Its quite amazing how careless people are with their CDs! You really should be more careful eAi

It is located west coast USA (San Jose, CA), so for people in europe, its going to be slow. eAi

We did briefly look into mafia, but it is considerably harder to do than GTA. It would be possible, but we think we've got enough on our plate(s) at the moment. eAi

tbot: thats fine if thats the case, I didn't know and no-one else was around so I moved it as a precaution. eAi

Can I please point out to everyone that we're only human. We may be a team, but different people make different decisions in the team, and unfortunately, we can't all act as a single agreeing body and moderate these forums 24/7. I'm sorry we didn't lock whatever topic you think should be locked, or we're sorry we locked whatever topic that shouldn't be locked, but the fact is they're locked, and there would be a reason why - normally stated on the final post. I don't remember anyone denying that the ddos happened, what servers are you talking about? We know that some game servers went down too, and as far as I know we've never denied this, again, this is me -> eAi -> speaking not the rest of the team. eAi

This topic has been temporarily MOVED. This is due to the contentious nature of the program. Once the team has made a decision on the software in question, the topic will either be reinstated or deleted (depending on the decision). Do not take this personally (tbot), we just want whats best for the community. eAi

Wrong. We don't make a habit out of lying to our community. We also had the ddoser sitting in our IRC admitting to it, so it's be hard to claim otherwise.eAi

Page lengths are done on post numbers, not line numbers, hence the length of the post doesn't affect the number of pages it is. eAi

its hardly going to be 01/01/2005, as it won't be released until May... eAi

Stanton, I'm not sure why you continue to post random topics. They may seem slightly on-topic to you, but not everyone wants your opinion on every matter, that just comes down to "MTA 0.4 will 0wn", I really don't know why you bother. eAi

Edited news post to reflect current situation.

Wait till you see our new core, you'll fall off your chair for another reason eAi

Well we've not been able to do any work for the last 3 days, so yes.eAi

We have moved to irc://irc.gamesurge.net/multitheftauto until we resolve this matter. eAi

Well its certainly counter productive, as we've lost pretty much two days work time due to it. eAi

But then, that wasn't what he was asking. No, I don't think thats possible. eAi

The thing is, no-one is noticing (them), and they're just slowing down our development. Its like a terrorist attack, where no-one claims to have done it, they're not going to promote their cause. But in the end, these people don't have a cause, they're just bored script kiddies. eAi

For people who don't read the news, the IRC server is under a ddos attack, and we're using http://www.mtaservers.com/chat/index.php instead for the moment. See news thread @ http://forum.mtavc.com/viewtopic.php?t=8551 and join us on that page. Update: We have moved to irc://irc.gamesurge.net/multitheftauto until we resolve this matter. eAi
