Yes there's a solution for ''pub other servers'' you named (advertising servers) get it here: https://community.multitheftauto.com/index.php?p=resources&s=details&id=13376 It blocks advertisements, code; local BannedWords = {"22003", ":22", "22010", "22005", "tasa:"} addEventHandler("onPlayerChat",root, function(msg) function checkBannedWords(Message) for _, BannedWord in ipairs(BannedWords) do if (Message:lower()):find(BannedWord:lower()) then return 2 end end local Chunks = {(Message:gsub("%s+", "")):match("(%d+)%.(%d+)%.(%d+)%.(%d+)")} if (#Chunks == 4) then return 1 end return 0 end -- Definitions -- 1 = Might be an advert -- 2 = Confirmed advert local result = checkBannedWords(msg) if (result == 1) then cancelEvent() outputChatBox("Your Message was detected as potential server advert and you're in trouble now if true.", source, 255, 0, 0) outputServerLog("[SUSPECT-ADVERTISING] " .. getPlayerName(source) .. " (tried to) output '" .. msg .. "'") local _players = getElementsByType("player") for _, v in pairs(_players) do if (getPlayerAccount(v)) then if ((isObjectInACLGroup("user." .. getAccountName(getPlayerAccount(v)), aclGetGroup("Admin"))) or (isObjectInACLGroup("user." .. getAccountName(getPlayerAccount(v)), aclGetGroup("Moderator")))) then outputChatBox("[SUSPECT-ADVERTISING] " .. getPlayerName(source) .. " (tried to) output '" .. msg .. "'", v) end end end elseif (result == 2) then cancelEvent() local g_Name = getPlayerName(source) local _r,_g,_b = getPlayerNametagColor(source) outputChatBox( g_Name .. ":server-advertiser " .. ' was detected and temporarily banned' , g_Root, _r, _g, _b, false) banPlayer ( source, false, false, true, nil, "Don't advertise other servers, you got an 1-day ban for it now.", 86400 ) end end ) when I thought of that, it didn't exist and I hadnt seen any anti-advert scripts at servers, while it's a growing and widespread problem. It blocks both by a filter list of words only used in server advertisements, but also logs/warns and prevent IP addresses in chat. But that's just 1 side of your problems. You can make the serverside script so heavily integrated with the client compiled ones, that making a stolen .luac usable takes far too much effort or becomes impossible. Also the no-cache option suggested before reduces it. However you can never stop others from cloning your scripts (written from scratch but looking and doing exactly the same as your scripts) however from that point it's not much related to your banlist.. it's just that you can never be assured. @TorNix~|nR

Are you sure the target local PC (listed in that table as '192.168.1.5') is the PC you're trying to host MTA server on? It forwards to a specific PC.. you must set a static IP for that machine for the forwarding to work. (go to network icon in taskbar, rightclick to Network center, click Details and see if ipv4 address matches - and if it will stay so by verifying if you set it static by router DHCP or Windows custom local IP defining) Also please show a screenshot of the full config page; is the second table of start-end ports called ''Port triggering'' or what?

Please download, extract and run MTADiag and follow the instructions. Press 'n' when asked. Post any Pastebin URL MTADiag gives you

No, you can't. But you could start a local server (only accessible for you) and try reproduce the GTA SA environment in MTA, such as with bots driving/walking the streets. Almost nothing found in singleplayer is impossible to achieve with scripting, you can go as far you want it to nearly match GTA SA. But just moving MTA scripts into GTA? no way..

Often when you exit the cinema by door marker, you get a red box in top of screen saying You dont have permission to do this or smth, assuming it's trying to stop the video in incorrect way by that as when I re-enter cinema, the old video is still playing while the cinema was emptied. Error seems only to happen when I exit while no one else is in cinema, so the bug was introduced with your recent update that empty cinema meant video auto-stops. Also the bug of video that keeps playing in background when you're somewhere else in SA, long gone from cinema (you know because audio keeps playing only) is still present

The log shows there's no new crashdump, so forget about the ctrl + ctrl idea. You're not following my instructions about drivers etc, and the new log confirmed that. I've said it several times so I'm sorry but we end here

You simply need to pick only the ''Standard SATA AHCI Controller'' listed in your screenshot, and take all steps to manually install the driver from there on, as I described (install driver from folder, choose from list etc) please do so and let me know

Open commandprompt (cmd) as admin and type: ''chkdsk /F /V /R /X /B /spotfix'' then it will ask to schedule on next reboot, hit ''Y'' and enter, so it will. Restart your PC and let the disk scan proceed. After it's done, and your PC is booted up again, please re-download the chipset driver I earlier mentioned: http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/chipset?os=Windows+10+-+64 Then try to install it again and see if the error for driver update still pops up. If it does and it wont install using AMD setup, take these steps to do it manually: 1) go to Device Manager and click the category ''IDE ATA/ATAPI CONTROLLERS'' 2) rightclick the ''AMD SATA CONTROLLER'' or generic SATA controller device and click the ''Driver'' tab 3) click ''Update driver'' on the device driver tab, and pick ''Choose from a custom location on my PC'' 4) pick ''choose from a list'' and then click the ''Browse'' button, and here put in the AMD chipset driver extracted files location: C:\AMD\Chipset\Packages\Drivers\SBDrv\hseries\AHCI\WB64A (exact..) Now, press Next on the first compatible driver that is auto-highlighted, so it will update the driver. Restart your PC. Dont forget to tell me the results on lagspikes afterwards. Also please tell me what's the device name under ''Storage controllers'' for something with SATA or ATA in its name, if the category is present besides ''IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers'' in Device manager grid. When you completed all steps, please generate a new MTADiag log and share it. Btw, I'm starting to run out of solutions and we're clearly working with an OS that's somehow bugged and some fishy stuff is going on that we're trying to break through, so soon I will be advising you to re-install Windows, if this won't fix it. It can also be your harddisk is not in bad condition but even just slow for a conventional HDD, if you can get your hands on one, please share a benchmark result of speeds. Do you happen to have another harddisk lying around that you can add as secondary, just create an empty partition on it and move the GTA SA installation to it, as means of a test if better reading speeds improve the spikes?

MTA San Andreas 1.5\MTA\config > coreconfig.xml, open that with rightclick -> Edit, find this line: <display_fullscreen_style>0</display_fullscreen_style> And then replace it with ''2'' as value, so would be: <display_fullscreen_style>2</display_fullscreen_style> then save the coreconfig.xml. I can't assure you this solution works against the odd menu lag you still have, but it atleast would resolve your black screen on alt-tab. If not, let me know.

Please provide me a new MTADiag.log

Moved to right section (you don't seem to learn). Also just saying, you're asking for a specific person - you could just PM or mention him. What's the purpose of this? Or are you open to other mappers also helping you here?

You're only replying to a part of what I said

That can't be from the DISM or SFC scan if it found nothing.. and one step back you said it was improved. Weird.. Please; 1: get Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) here: http://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html 2: run DDU and let it completely remove your graphics drivers (make sure to select Nvidia in dropdown of which one to clean) 3: restart your PC and re-install with this driver: http://www.geforce.com/drivers/results/117918 4: Download and install ''HDD health'' from: http://panterasoft.com/hdd-health/ and show me a screenshot of your HDD's analysis results. 5: run a full malware/antivirus scan By the way, it's good that you keep troubleshooting as most users would be 1) incapable of following all steps or 2) would've already stopped trying

The gap between what can occur with Windows 10 Creators update (released last week) and what happened since a longer period of time, may consist of that: the issues are related or seem related (blackscreens or freeze) but have in common a certain Windows update (milestone release) introduced the problems. However it doesn't work vice versa, the problem of blackscreens on quitting MTA (that started with Windows 10 Anniversary Update) isn't fixable by rolling back graphics drivers. For that case it also seems bound to AMD PC's and specific system setups. Because of that, your solutions are worth trying for users on Creators updating and experiencing exactly the problem of the alt-tab freeze or black screen.

Please only use ctrl+ctrl when your MTA hangs/freezes like it did before, and tell me when it did so we can extract a dump file. (it's not inside debug.txt as you mistaken it for) I only noticed in your log it freezed some time, and as I said before it's at most related as its likely to be caused by the same underlying system issue.. so it may only give us a clue on where to look for. Also im doubting if that, or even continuing to troubleshoot is worth the effort, as your system is generally unstable because of what seems harddisk/space issues. Please also run a malware scan. You also didnt follow the majority of my earlier instructions (about drivers etc) do that first please or it will end here. You also didnt answer my question if it only happened on local server. If yes, you should've said before, then just re-install MTA and clean out the server folder completely as you didnt answer either if you're using custom resources with possible memory leaks or anything.

Good to hear that both FFS and a server previously lagging run more stable now without the issue. But what do you mean with ''it seemed that its still loading the game'' ? Restart once more. Then go to Start > run > type ''services.msc'' and navigate to Windows Firewall and Windows Update services. Right-click both, and then Properties tab, then select startup mode 'Automatic' and hit the ''start'' button to start services. After that, open commandprompt (cmd) and type this: DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth Let it complete, and then restart your PC. After PC is booted up again, open commandprompt (cmd) once more, and type this time: sfc /scannow and let that run. Once sfc scan completed, restart PC once more, and then try out MTA again.

I noticed a signal of possible system issues on the MTADiag log (with wmi, which is known to cause tiny lag spikes and may involve services like MTA's, when it fails to communicate with the OS through a local tunnel) Also that a driver made for your chipset fails to install with a vague error demonstrates system level issues. Download this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/i5wnabnrouamx2e/fixmgmt.bat?dl=1 and then rightclick > Run as administrator. That .bat files incorporates several fixes to your OS, we'll find out if the issues I suspected are related by noticing it's fixed or not. After running the .bat file, restart your PC, and try MTA again to see if it resolved. If not, get back to me.

For the chipset driver, my bad, download from here: http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/chipset?os=Windows+10+-+64 (first one) The BIOS is safe unless you pull the power cord, and pretty simple aslong you follow the wizard (it's a Windows flashtool, as hard as installing a driver..) About your GTA mods, it doesn't matter CLEO won't work in MTA, it's about the fact your GTA was pre-modded for CLEO and thus who knows how many files were modified. It's some kind of custom release, probably more modified than you're aware of (or custom game files that aren't mods to texures but cause problems) so please just follow my advice and try with a clean GTA SA.

Your OS seems to be well-maintained, I would say; - Faulty HDD (resulting in low read speeds for GTA data files/mods) - GTA SA bad installation (what I see is a pre-modded GTA with heavy mods and CLEO + custom CLEO gta_sa launcher) The last option would also explain your experience of lag while modded stuff is loading, who knows if those are server mods, maybe some bad mods in your GTA installation (with bad I mean taking up much load due to bad modelling) cause the lag, for example the server you mentioned where you get lag, FFS, doesn't really have much mods afaik and especially not world/environment ones (if at all, vehicles) so your GTA SA client mods lagging everything is more likely I don't know how much you value that very modded GTA installation but I advise you to re-install with a clean, official GTA SA. It will almost for sure fix the problem. About the earlier mentioned HDD reading speeds; Get the most recent AMD chipset driver: https://www2.ati.com/drivers/amd-chipset-drivers-software-17.10rcp22-apr17.zip and install it After installing, go to Device manager and check if your IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers AHCI/SATA driver has been updated/raised in version (you might want to check prior what the old version was) and tell me because if it doesn't automatically update, we'll use another method (often it doesnt auto-update with chipset driver package install..) After that, update your motherboard BIOS (be careful, no power cuts, own risk) as your mobo had lag troubles before I could find related to it (the update brings performance improvements to the system in general): ftp://europe.asrock.com/BIOS/AM3+/960GM-VGS3 FX(1.40)WIN.zip

It shouldn't stutter like that with the hardware you have, you're right it should be powerful enough. Are you using a 32-bit Windows? Please download, extract and run MTADiag and follow the instructions. Press 'n' when asked. Post any Pastebin URL MTADiag gives you in this topic.

*Note: topic has been unpinned and locked because of reduced incidence (or complete vanishing) of the issue. If you experience this, then it's something similar and not the same issue, please create a new support section topic. There's been increased counts of MTA players getting blackscreen problems when quitting MTA or alt-tabbing, the problem is due to Windows 10 updates that are flawed and not only MTA is affected. Windows 10 Creators update can worsen the problem, and this topics contains solutions and workarounds that you can use for now. 1) In all cases, setting Borderless window (in MTA settings > video > Fullscreen mode) will solve the problem. If you don't like the graphics appearance difference with Borderless or have another reason you cannot use Borderless, you can: - Fix the blackscreen once it happens (for this, hold Windows key and press 'P' and then hit Arrow down and Enter (repeat the Arrow down max. 5 times and hit Enter after each Arrow down press, eventually you will hit the right mode and display output will return) - Prevent the blackscreen from occuring: end the Multi Theft Auto.exe process instead of ''Quit'' (this can have adverse effects with configs etc, not recommended) - Reduce the chance it happens with 90%: click ''Quit'' while still connected to a server, instead of quitting whole already disconnected. The alt-tab blackscreen occurs more often with the Windows 10 Creators update. This update might even increase the frequency of the problem appearing in general. We don't recommend anything but preventing it to happen at all if you're affected by the problem; using step 1, switching to Borderless mode. It's doubtful if MTA can include a fix if Microsoft doesn't yet release updates that fixes the bug; the problem is with dwm.exe (Desktop Window Manager) and contrary to what you would think, most affected users have only a single monitor. Also please everyone who had this problem, reply in this topic, so we can estimate how widespread the issue is.

Read this please: https://forum.multitheftauto.com/topic/95161-black-screen-on-quittab-as-a-windows-10-user-read-first/

You said that MTA and your system gradually became slower (after ~ 15 minutes) and I observed a hang (freeze) from your MTADiag log, so assuming there was a freeze, try to do that (debug.txt and ctrl + ctrl) as soon it happens again. It will provide us some insights.. Also please don't skip any steps from my previous post, tell me when done.. (provide yet another MTADiag log once drivers are updated)

Disconnect from 192.168.1.5:22003 [StopNetwork 0501a8c0 [no-system]] Game - HTTPError (Error downloading requested files. Failed to initialize download.) Reflecting that.. there's certainly something fishy going on with your PC rather than MTA.. I can see MTA hanged (Application hang error report in MTADiag), please create a file named debug.txt in MTA install folder, and next time it freezes press left + right CTRL simulaneously and upload the most recent dump it then generates, to http://upload.mtasa.com (from MTA San Andreas 1.5\MTA\dumps\private) Why? Because it may capture information on what exactly causes the freeze, and the freeze problem is likely correlating to the slowdown issue. Also please install these drivers: 1) https://downloadmirror.intel.com/18223/a08/win7_1512754.exe (basically re-install) 2) https://downloadmirror.intel.com/20775/eng/SetupChipset.exe or if not compatible; https://downloadmirror.intel.com/20018/a08/infinst_autol.zip 3) https://d34vhvz8ul1ifj.cloudfront.net/Driver/VIA_HD_Audio_v11_1100f_Win10RS1_logo_11012016.zip or if incompatible; https://d34vhvz8ul1ifj.cloudfront.net/Driver/v10_1200a.zip 4) You're having issues with network loss (network interface loss aka no connection for a split moment, as your timeouts) so dowload & run this as Administrator too: https://www.dropbox.com/s/8kyfbievryrmyz1/netfix.bat?dl=1 (restart PC after it completes) 5) https://www.dropbox.com/s/i5wnabnrouamx2e/fixmgmt.bat?dl=1 (restart PC again after completing) Did you recently use a ''driver updater'' tool that claims to have updated versions of drivers no longer maintained? EDITED - @#BrosS

It was a bug, thanks for reporting, fixed in https://github.com/multitheftauto/mtasa-blue/commit/cc660ce354a555470e60d02a67a2c11665a95d24 (wait for the new build) Only happens to servers with a '?' character in 1 of the account names, that's the explanation why there's not many topics like yours about the error. Opportunistic crash.. @AboShanab EDIT: update to this version for fix; (32bit) https://nightly.multitheftauto.com/?multitheftauto_linux-1.5.4-rc-latest or (64bit) https://nightly.multitheftauto.com/?multitheftauto_linux_x64-1.5.4-rc-latest
