I have encountered a problem when trying to play mta 1.3.4 with my official ps2 controller connected to a 2 port ps2 to usb adapter. It worked fine with XP Home but I have upgraded my system (including mb and cpu) to W7 64bit and the device manager has 2 entries for HID-compliant game controller in Human Interface Devices. Obviously one for each of the two ports but only one ps2 I'm using, so it seems it is installed but when in mta I cannot change the axis as it says 'Joypad not detected - check connections and restart game'. I will find the drivers for the pad but I don't think they will work as I'm on 64bit OS so I'm thinking it may not be an OS issue but a problem with MTA. I also just went into joy.cpl but under Installed game controllers there are no entries, normally in XP there would be two and I could click on one to calibrate my joypad. Please help team! Edit: Actually if doesn't appear joypad panel then it's probably not to do with mta as windows does see the adapter but doesn't see the sony ps2 pad that is connected. I'm currently trying to find a workaround as many other people have (or had) the same problem after Googling and not just with my specific model either.

Hi all, hope you can help me here. I have been playing mta since 2010 and I always keep them up to date. However in the last few weeks I have been having horrible fps values while playing a particular stealth server while using 1.3.3 and the latest 1.3.4 (I also use nightlys). It ranges from 10 to around 28fps, the server has a max 47fps and when I could play at that it was very playable but its strange that while I can't play at max fps some others can so I don't know whether the problem is on my side or server side. There has been complaints that the server does lag on occasion but this is now a permanent problem for me but maybe not for others? Even if I go to any other servers I can play @ 50+ but not this server I'm talking about and which I mainly play. Any suggestions? I've tried playing on my other lcd monitor, changing the DD, Brightness, FX quality, res. etc but does not do a thing! Also tried playing in a fresh xp install which I did but no change there either.

Ok I play this particular server on MTA 1.3.1 regularly but the skins there are specific for the game (two teams) however I have seen other players with a different skin on both teams overriding the two default server skins which is quite funny as its a female skin with all the sound effects with it. My question, how is this possible? I have tried replacing what I thought was the servers dff and txd files in the resources folder to a custom skin I downloaded but this did not change anything. Is this something I can do with Img Tool or other or is it related to the server files in the MTA directory? Thanks
