I also had the crash, and that fixed it.. for whoever else gets it with Windows 10 (it shows how unstable it still is) Also the crash happens only with creation of a working gta_sa.set, so if you manage to let it generate one without crashing, and place it back in an computer/it's old crashing state, it will not crash again, as the gta_sa.set file then already succeeded When i didn't yet fix the cause (disabling aero) i ran it already by using an gta_sa.set file i generated by starting MTA with Microsoft basic display drivers. The file is an requirement to bypass the crash, to atleast have it there, though the bug that remained was when you tabbed and back, it'd give black/blank screen, so in general the aero fix would be the most recommended, other than not using Windows 10 at all.

If MTA doesn't catch a crash, but it's located within SA or MTA, then you can try the following steps to generate an dumpfile if that's the case, for an crashing application. Use notepad/wordpad, and enter this: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error Reporting\LocalDumps\gta_sa.exe] "DumpCount"=dword:00000002 "DumpFolder"=hex(2):63,00,3a,00,5c,00,64,00,75,00,6d,00,70,00,73,00,00,00 "DumpType"=dword:00000002 Save this with extension .reg, now run the file that can be named as for example catchdump.reg, and it will enable Windows crashdump writer on the specified application (SA) where normally it doesn't. When it happens again, check if any dump is located in C:/dumps and if it's there provide it To make sure (but unlikely) you can edit the reg to have Multi Theft Auto.exe in a new one, and also enable it for MTA, but as MTA has a good exception handler most likely won't be. (If this doesn't work at all first check if you didn't disable the ''Windows Error Reporting'' service)

If you have localhost running, you need 1. the Paradise sql db structure imported, then to edit the 'sql' resource to specify the localhost adress and 2. potential other resources that use sql to specify the sql adress (depends on gamemode)

There are several issues - First of all SQL.. you need to run SQL software (like XAMMP, google) like now, locally, then configure the sql resource to use that and connect to it - Duplicates, the server comes with default resources that other resources can depend on, as they link to it or form a basis, also these resources can be spread over other gamemodes, like here it has duplicates, if the gamemode comes with (possibly modified to fit the gamemode) these resources, no matter which version, use these instead of the packed ones (delete the duplicates; they would be present if the resources you put for that gamemode uses the same) - That scripts have deprecated functions, to solve this and fix compatability/fix the function warnings, type this into the server console: ''upgrade all'' For the Mysql thing, there are enough guides to get started with (local) sql servers using software like i mentioned, over the internet That's important yes, also make sure that you use the Paradise gamemode sql structure/base db, if it has

From the point you don't even have the server itself it's not very easy, you'd then need an server, run Apache or something to use it as an fileserver on it, then set it up with the correct folder permissions to allow the client files being read from the filedir. It's mostly used by advanced servers, and as it's not easy to update scripts without re-uploading to the fileserver for the clientscripts, most of the times an GIT/repository is used to directly commit changes to the http server and with that client downloads, if it's not really needed using an HTTP server isn't recommended. Also that's why there isn't yet an full guide for every step to take even with the fileserver itself. And for the easy part, if you have the fileserver itself running and ready, you just need the files in the root dir, and your mtaserver.conf httpserver line (as shown before) to point there. The files needed are the http-client-files in the same layout as in that dir, but then in the fileserver's root dir

Please download and run MTADiag and follow the instructions. If MTADiag doesn't launch, please install Visual C++ 2012 runtimes (download and install vcredist_x86.exe) and try again. Press 'n' when asked. Post any Pastebin URL MTADiag gives you. Do you use mods? This module-less crash can mean program(s) interfering with MTA.. also, do you have anti-virus/security software? Maybe to find out where it's related to we need the crashdump of this crash, incase it still happens upload the dump of the most recent crash, from Program Files> MTA San Andreas 1.4>MTA>Dumps>private, then PM it to me and/or upload to http://upload.mtasa.com

Please download and run MTADiag and follow the instructions. If MTADiag doesn't launch, please install Visual C++ 2012 runtimes (download and install vcredist_x86.exe) and try again. Press 'n' when asked. Post any Pastebin URL MTADiag gives you. Do you use mods? And check for your firewalls if you have, if gta_sa.exe or MTA is being blocked or restricted, if so then list it to allow. Are you getting timed out after it disconnects, or any other error/message? What is the error code listed behind the timed out message?

For the default traffic resource you'll have the definitions file here: traffic\definitions > nodes.lua If you want to add new node definitions you need to have good scripting knownledge, the traffic resource isn't easy to work with and you're actually editing the script itself. Also to fill in those coordinates in the correct syntax, you need scripting knownledge looking at how the script works, and depending on what you add and how, it might be needed to change or update the script itself.

It could be related to something i had before, which is to do with Vertex locking that can indicate hardware problems (graphics card) after comparing some crash registry values But try to install this: Audio driver: http://www.filehippo.com/download_realtek_high_definition_audio_vista_64 Also for myself, the graphics issues were partially solved by re-installing graphics driver, with the new ATI beta of last weeks Try it: http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/AMDCatalyst14-9-2BetaWINReleaseNotes.aspx if that solves it, would indicate that its a related cause.. just to try it out.

I have to agree, this has been around for ages and it was mantis'd numerous times and just merged in 1 bug report, that has received replies from devs, but i never seen anyone working on a fix for it nor feedback when questions were answerred, is it really that big to work on fixing, to not try fixing it?

You got to be kidding us, that's an MTA 1.0.5 crash from 2011, you copied the crash info from https://bugs.multitheftauto.com/view.php?id=6200. If you want support with crashes, you need to ask support for your own crashes or we can't help you.

This is widely known as ''health bug''.. from both sides it bugs, like you can't damage the other player, and the player that gets shot at see his attackers punching in the air, while the attackers can suspect cheating/glitching but see nothing more than the player walking around and being invulnerable. From the other side, i'm not sure if the attacker also sees the bugged player punching, but I think not, more likely to see nothing if the bugged player shoots at him or anything, just idling, while still invulnerable. It happens randomly but it's very rare..

https://www.google.nl/search?q=0x00746929 It can be 1. compatiblity mode, 2. directory/file permissions (as ccw said, re-install on usual directory) The memory violation 0x00746929 essentially means that the file itself (gta_sa) is accessible but once you run it cannot allocate anything/start up because something basic is missing/misconfigured For that last example, this can also be caused by ''DirectPlay'' missing from windows, go to Control panel > Software/programs > and there's something like ''Activate/deactivate (optional) windows features'' Then look for ''Directplay'' under something like ''Legacy software'' and see if directplay is enabled.

I would never recommend anyone to take this ''scripter'', it has been over a month ago I requested a script from him and the biggest mistake ever made was to pay instantly, following was a drama of that he needed ''a few more days'' but not one time, but atleast ''extending'' with some days over 5 times. finally I think.. when he sent me the ''resource'' and without the server part.. ''Oh, my autosave failed, I will make it soon'' then he became ''sick for a week'' and now he starts to talk legal shit, like ''Your resource is practically done but it just misses a part'' and here we land, a quickly-written server part that doesn't even work; things won't ''sync'' and ''he doesn't know what the problem is'' so I started pushing him for it, because this way he can extend his delivery time for the working script endlessly, now he started talking legal shit about ''Your resource is practically done'' but it ''just misses a part'' Then i started to get angry because he fails to either pay me back (refuses) or complete it, and he was like ''I dont play MTA anymore..'' (other words: so why would I care about making your resource where you paid for? What are you gonna do against me if I wont finish your script?) This is starting to look like a scam, atleast it would be if he wouldn't deliver (letting me off with the broken/unfinished script) and refuses to pay back or complete it, I call this a scam while comparing the facts with his attitude that starts going towards ''I dont care, what are you going to do if I wont deliver the working script?'' Not recommended, unreliable. This guy goes under the names of Sinavia/aaron wallsch/wallach/BruderBane/''ServerBoss'' and acts like he lives in Antigua/Barbuda, carribean sea.. but is more likely to be american. I hope that no-one falls for it, if this turns out to be a complete scam, I will post here again to keep it updated.

You're saying it happens sometimes. Until we know more about it/whether it's a bug or not, try to use 'refreshall' for a period and see if it happens even once again or not/less, that might be important to determine the problem, though I think refreshall is a bit more reliable for it, like MrBrutus said:

Wrong. You need to do 'refreshall', 'refresh' only detects newly added resources. refreshall does also auto-restart resources once they changed, if they were running, indicating that you used 'refresh' only. It's caused by your own mistake and not a bug.

Try reinstalling your graphics driver with: http://www.geforce.com/drivers/results/77224 Also audio drivers: http://www.filehippo.com/download_realtek_high_definition_audio_vista_64 Do you have multiple monitors? If so, also 2 video cards? If this doesn't solve it: - Reinstall MTA, run the installer as admin, and run MTA as administrator from windows - Restore Nvidia settings in Nvidia control panel, to defaults (if you don't have important configs there) - Then uninstall the full Nvidia package, and clean reinstall using previous link.

I don't think your way of doing things is relevant here, thanks for opening discussion on what the best way to stop adverts is, though. This topic is for this resource, not other possibilities.

myonlake, you can go advanced as that but there's no single script that's 100% waterproof. This here was focussed to be a quick and efficient script in detecting most advertisements, whilst keeping the rule that once it triggers, the detection is an advertisement. (due to the detection list). If you would add IP formats or what you named, you can't rely on that it's an advertisement: people can share IPs for different reasons, it's not absolute advertisement. Then you can say why would they share IPs, they shouldn't anyways so let's just detect and kick them, yes you can, but adding this kind of features would ruin your option to fully rely on it, and change the script to ban instead of kick, as it can then falsely ban if it wasn't an advertisement. So your ideas were good, and could add upon detection capabilities, but would do possible influence to detection reliability, cutting you off in optional measures.

Releasing this script, that can detect nearly all server advertisements and kick the advertisers once detected. Based on lists of absolute words used in only server advertisement chat text, the efficiency of detection is good, and it can detect everywhere in the sentence: If you would type, for example: mtasa://x.x.x, then the last part doesn't make sense because the detection was already triggered at the first part, where mtasa:// is added as detection If an server advertisement is detected by the script, it will automaticly kick them: "Don't server advertise!" and output this to the chat in his own nick colour: Advertiser [hisname] was detected! Ontop of the example detection, some generic ones are default: 2200x (usual server port) added as detection ':220' to catch everything in the port rangek, with the prefix : to improve detection efficiency. Besides that, a few ranges of server IPs holding a good part of MTA servers (dedicated hoster) are added, as if it was to be said then it's obviously an advertisement. This is done to improve efficiency even more (it can't detect IP only like x.x.x.x.x, and this is only used if an server has dedicated IP/no port, so it's just some kind of addition to even improve the script and take some more advertising with it) As for that example (improving efficiency) you can edit the script with new detections of words/slangs, but depending on what you add, it could change the quality of 100% detection. For now, with the current and default list coming with the script, it's reliable so that if 1 of those triggers, it IS an advertisement, so then you could, if you want to be rude with server advertisers (I always said, they know it's not allowed) edit the script, to ban instead of kicking them, your choice.

I can tell you, that doesn't even come near all the changes, just the headlines of plenty more fixes

Check here https://forum.multitheftauto.com/viewtopic.php?f=114&t=48868 and make sure to use the port tester listed, if that doesn't solve it, walk through the steps at https://forum.multitheftauto.com/viewtopic.php?f=114&t=75696

Yes, look at the link ccw sent you, that lists the virus you have/had, and Ramnit is 1 of the names that virus goes under. It means your PC is still infected with the virus. Look for online guides to clean hard-to-delete viruses and look for a good scanner, believe me if you keep running your PC with a virus on it, not a good idea. Because this virus adds a PE header/part to any executable/DLL it can find, (.rmnet ) it is capable of adding their infection to any file on your computer, making it hard to delete. Be carefull with leaving it on it and make sure to either re-install your windows or get it cleaned for sure.
