Are you saying there's a way to stop getting CRC errors? Right...

Thoughts in random order follow: I'm just wondering, does this mean that you've reached a decision point where however you decide now, there's no chance that anything else might happen or be added later on? I mean if you go with the one isle solution, would you still keep trying to get them all working together in a later version? If not, I'd hate to see that happen. I dunno maybe it's just me, but going with one isle only is a meant-to-be-temporary half meassure that well could last for a few good months; I wouldn't want that. I'd rather wait half that time (playing VC online) and end up with a better experience for GTA3 as well. I agree with Loen and the others on their gameplay arguments about this and I just want to add that in the end I feel the game "should" be exactly like VC is regarding roaming freedom. Any taking away from that, would be taking away from the game's identity, from what it is and what has made it be as good as we know it to be. IMO, since GTA3 is related to VC the way it is, I'd want to have an online experience with both of them as similar as possible. I'm kinda optimistic about you finding a way to solve this after a few tries and even now that ppl are in a rush and expect a release somewhere in the next month or so, personally if I was your time's manager or something, I'd go with investing more time to cracking this problem without a doubt. But since I'm not, I can only try to convince you of the probability of what I'm saying. Just my 2 eurocents.

Spent 12 hours downloading the Premiere Pro ISO on my crappy dialup con just to find out it doesn't work on the 2kz, but only on XP :@. On top of that Premire 6.5 is so shitty looking, it fokn reminds me of PSP back in 97. FFS... Oh, and GL Kent .

Ahhhh finalmente! Now, back to the... T-shirts subject... or something... o_0.

Maybe he means running it on 98 compatibility? ^ Dunno, sounds kinda vague . Either way, isn't 98 compatibility on XP's a no go as well (or should I say "nogo"? )?

Lol Marlon Brando Look-Alikes, eh ?

Methinks it's not the jump you're showing off...

Hmmm, you need some parent bypassing software. Can't think of any though...

Funny clip. Nice change from the mainstream mentality too. Loved the faggio one the most . BTW rebel, your profile's location is fuxing up the allignment.

What a crock o' shit. You tell a guy to stop acting like a jerk to new ppl and all of a sudden you're a Samaritan? And even so, wtf @ Samaritan? I'm not trying to help anyone; just trying to make you ppl stop something that's annoying and unhelpful. But yeah, ok dude. Whatever floats your boat . And lol @ morale. Not morale (i.e. spirit, mood), not even moral. It's morality crusade®. But just so you know, I'm never a crusader. I always go as a cop, ask anybody.

Yeah, I think you should ask for your money back (cynically speaking)... Just play on more decentralized servers or during more off hours and it shouldn't be that bad for you. And: You hear that everybody? You keep saying you play for hours on end. FFS get it through your heads: it DOESN'T FREAKING WORK!

Maybe because this wasn't about me, but that poor guy that couldn't make anything out of that error message, so he came to a place where he thought he'd get some help? And how a few trigger happy ppl here - yourself included - couldn't resist posting yet again the all too helpful RTFM. And even more when it's about a program, the manual of which is maybe harder to find than others. This isn't about me. It's about this whole l33t attitude you guys continually boast.

Said the Duccati obsessed man .

Lol @ looking at the facts first! And I get that from someone trying to apply the kinda logic you did to a person that comes here with this: ...and asks ppl what to do. I mean If he can miss that, what makes you think he'd be able to find that manual, especially the funky way it's been placed online? Yet you tell him to go RTFM. Way to prove your accute assuming skills. Real smart man. Personally I didn't have any greater a problem finding the full tutorial than you, but I'm not the one that created this thread, now am I? I got a kick out of you giving me advice about life or PCs too, keep it up . And Gibberish generator? Gotta get me one of those...

Note to wannabe smartasses: next time you say things to make yourself look better than others, check that you're not talking out of your ass first. In this case, you told that guy to RTFM - in a pretty cocky way too I might add. Well have you read it yourself? Do you know what the fu,ck is in there and what is not to be lecturing others? Seriously, for all your condescension, your half-assed posts ain't much help to anybody. And BTW the real ASE manual isn't even where you said it was. That's just a promo-like tutorial page; he probably went there himself and found no answers. The real manual is here and if you ask me that's far from easy for ppl new to it to find. It's not in the setup EXE, it's not in the program's directory as a doc, or a HLP, or an html, or even as a simple readme. Ppl are bound to be asking all sorts of Qs about it left and right and for a good reason. Some of them will be as simple as this one was. Next time you wanna play l33t, check that you've RTFM yourself first. Take care now. PS: Sell sarcasm some place else; we're all stocked up here.

No mistakes in No comment (), which is the only one of yours I got. But even if you did, it was a really good vid, plus no1 can hold that against anyone that puts Gorillaz and Fatboy Slim in the soundtrack (y). Edit: Lol spoke too soon: "no tweaks or mods has been used in this video" (were used)

Uh huh and which manual would that be wiseass? Think before you rush to join a bandwagon...

Obviously he meant 16KB/s (it's what he sees when he uploads files with some program), so his con is 512Kbps down, 128Kbps up. Sounds like DSL to me. I'm sure there's a way for you to get it to work; just be patient and keep trying.

The server remained untouched? And what kind of % are we looking at? Like 30% more data? 100%?

You mean protocol? From what I've understood, the dreaded MTA netcode sacrifices integrity for the sake of speed by choosing UDP, but the weird thing is that up to vers .2.2 such incidents were occurring at a considerably lower rate than now. Not to mention the appearance of CRC timeouts, which are something that I believe wasn't happening before .3. All of this brings me to the million-euro question: what's been changed in the server's side in .3? Has its cycle been made longer with more anti-cheating checks, options, or tasks? Cause that - along with the higher average UDP packet loss rate - would account for what we've been seeing ever since Jan 1st. If that is the case I dunno what else could be done to alleviate the situation other than assigning more responsibilities to the client's side. And that doesn't really help the cheat preventing effort, now does it? Quite a predicament if you ask me, so I'll wish you guys good luck figuring it out.

"[...]be it soccer, war, or a bike chase, we would all agree (on) the rules[...]" "[...]back in my old fashioned park, someone would get bored and break the rules[...]" "[...]The adrenaline finally kicks in as I flee from intelligent human opponents[...]" "[...]Familiar in game features such as the radar[...]" "[...]Even these have been relocated (no need for a hyphen) by the MTA team[...]" "[...]While the modders and developers behind it obviously know their stuff[...]" "[...]I have seen many forums asking for game suggestions in the past[...]" ^ That needs rephrasing.

It's as if you were just jumping from one issue on to another as they were coming to your mind. All in all a very good review with some interesting figures of speech; witty and with a good range of expressional capabilities. And that was my butting in deconstructive criticism .

A few points: - Well, look at yourself; you're nowhere near perfect and you're still annoying as hell, so there goes that argument. - Who said cops aren't strong enough? Who says no one plays as VCP? You kiddin, right? - It's their mod, so I guess they can call them whatever the fux they want. Also ppl have come to call them that too, so since you're obviously a cuban, or close to some to obviously care enough about this, learn that we'll never stop calling them mexicans just to piss oyu off if not for any other reason. Take care now. - KGF: That's BS and you know it. We haven't got a raise in the past 3 years and now you come up with this crap? Fine you asked for this pal: as of tomorrow we're on strike! How do you like THEM apples now eh? ()

I've been playing since late September Bump, so yeah, I've seen both .2 and .2.2 (something deep down tells me I wouldn't want to have seen .1 anyway ). In both those releases, when you knocked some1 down with a shotgun, you knew that they fell and you could tell where that was. Weird knocked-down sliding didn't really matter when ppl were running about, cause you still could tell where they were going, and still shoot at them even above ground level which to you would be just hitting air - a dude that's sluding to you, is a dude standing and running in his screen, so it's what happens there that I'm really interested in, not what I see. In .3 however, if for some reason you were looking elsewhere and didn't see where they went down, you'll just see the actor keep on running in some direction and will have to guess (a) whether they actually fell down or not and (b) where the hell that was exactly so you can stand right behind their back and give em their much needed dietary lead supplement the way only you know how . All in all, I just found myself thinking "yeah, ditto" when I first read DeathB's comments some 25 or so days ago about how walking anims weren't all that usefull and whether there was a way for them to not be implemented in some other release or something like that. I guess some ppl (unappreciative bastards ) just look right through and past the eye candy pretty quickly and want to get down to the nitty gritty. I also guess I fall in that category myself...
