that's a bug in GTA3... it happens to me too. WinXP causes it I think

Simply re-install MTA, start the launcher, click GTA3 SP, NOW uninstall MTA... that should work. If it doesn't, then you're out of luck. Copy your saved games, and re-install GTA3.

that shouldn't make much of a difference... Where do you get stuck at? Is there an error message? Do you have Win98?

I'm 90% certain the people on the roof are supposed to be there... the problem isn't the people on the roof, it's that you can't see any other players... Even when you can see other players, there are gonna be people on the roof. Suggestion for 0.4: put a big sign up on the building that says: these people are supposed to be here!

you're supposed to click on GTA3:MTA at the launcher... if it's giving you errors, post in the bugs forum, AFTER checking the FAQ. This might help too: https://forum.multitheftauto.com/viewtopic.php?t=1157

So long as I get to drive that kickass car at the end.... mmm...

* The assault rifle isn't even enabled... you can shoot and shoot and shoot, and nothing'll happen. Use the uzi (although that only works sometimes it seems) * Yesyes. *Police are supposed to be disabled... how'd you get a chopper after you?

1. he was saying his ping was DECREASED by 50-100 milliseconds.... not that his ping was that. 2. ASE doesn't have adverts, although it has a couple of little registration things that come up every once in a while... if you're cheap like me, you'll just download a keygen so you don't have to bother with those damn messages...

well, in C you do sleep in seconds... I think.

In one of the games, I managed to rack up a few stars... noone chased me though so I ran over some people instead The end.

A combination of magic, and a thousand monkies.

to find servers, use ASE (All Seeing Eye) Once you're connected to the server, alt-tab back to the MTA program, and hit 'send game request'. The credits should stop rolling after about 10-20 secs, and the game will start.

whee! spamspamspamspamspam!

A help forum... Any questions, instead of just filling up the other forums, would be placed in the help forum, and there would be a sticky with all asked questions, and all answers, so there's as little duplication of topics possible... I'm just tired of searching through all the forums to reply to the same kind of message 40 times... what the... why am I capable of posting this as a sticky? I'm scared now.

ya... um.. redspike? can you at least tone down your use of caps?

Look no further than: https://forum.multitheftauto.com/viewtopic.php?t=1157 (and yes, I am full of myself )

it's not my fault! where's a mod... this topic should probably be locked.

Put your fixes here (ONLY fixes... not asking for help)! It's getting annoying... I've posted about 50 messages that are almost identical, because everyone just creates new posts. So here we go: Credits are just... rolling, but I'm connected to a server: Use alt-tab to switch to the MTA Program, and click 'send game request'. wtf is with all those people on the roof?: They're supposed to be there. When you join the server, you become one of them, and then you're warped over to a different building, where you choose your team. ASE?: All seeing eye - In a nutshell, it lets you search for servers by name, not IP address. How do I get ASE going?: check the link at the end of this post. I'm just sitting there in my car, when suddenly, it starts going all crazy, and drives on it's own, but really jerkily!: someone got into your car with you! Seems to be a bug that was overlooked. Just get out of the car when it slows down. I'm in my car, then I die for no reason: Your car was about to explode... normally, you'd see flames shooting out, but they are disable in MTA, since syncing damage modeling would increase the (considerable) bandwith requirements. The cars are neon. what the...: This is a bug in GTA3. the textures go all poopy if there are too many cars in the game. Type giveusatank 100 times and you'll see what I mean. I keep getting a weird thing asking me to re-install MTA, or saying that MTA is in the wrong directory, or error 76...: There appears to be an error in the installer, that causes the installer to place MTA in the wrong directory. This actually happened to me, it placed MTA in C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\GTA III\Desktop, instead of ...\Rockstar Games\GTA III. When you install the game, after you select the folder you want to install into, check the install directory and make sure that it says (something like): C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\GTA III. Run time error 2?: Many people have had this problem, however I am still not certain if this is the real fix for it: I suggest re-installing GTA3, and MTA, which has worked for some people . Other players just run straight forwards.... forever.: This appears to be a problem plauging many... looks as though it's because of windows 9x... Since I am not certain of this, I'm gonna say NO FIX run time error 10047: address family is not supported: (Stolen from vulcan's post: https://forum.multitheftauto.com/viewtop ... 12&start=0 ) Runtime error '10047' Address family is not supported - I press refresh in ASE ,then press conect to server in the list. - Then ANOTHER 'GTA: Multi Theft Auto - Foot ' window loads up (GUI maybe) - In the window under the 'send game request' button it says: 'Connected: (IP number) and there is a small Orange box next to Connection Status in the top right corner. -I press ALT-TAB ,GTA3 loads up and i see the MTA credits again for a few seconds them i spawn on a rooftop and i saw 2 other players there(They are the 2 differnet teams, Right is DIABLO - Left is MAFIA) - go over the highlighted area and you respawned some where in Liberity City error 10035: NO FIX I alt-tab to MTA when the credits are rolling, hit 'send game request', but the credits keep going!: NO FIX anyone have any ideas about this one? btw: if you're having trouble getting the game going, check out this post: https://forum.multitheftauto.com/viewtopic.php?t=1157 [edit by xerox]I have edited the post a little and made it sticky, thanks me =)[/edit]

I remember a command someone said... for ingame chat... I think you have to type something like /ingame in the chat box of the MTA program. I forget what the actual command was, or if there even is one. I remember it so clearly though!

Other players will not see different skins. If you change a bus into a go-kart, other people will still slam into where the bus WOULD be. If you change the handling of a bus, to a banshee, it'll look to everyone else, as if you're just driving a really really really fast bus.

it would appear you forgot to place a link to it

Well, I can see 56k support in the future... I mean, Battlefield 1942, with 64 players, on a huge map, with tons of vehicles, and 56k can still (just barely) handle it...

1500 down/500 up remember to set your connection speed in the MTA program thing... before you connect.
