Nope, the first few alpha's (from over 8 months ago) were good enough to make a preview video, and they definitely weren't ready for public beta. As far as testing goes, the devs have plenty of bugs to fix already. It's not as much a matter of finding bugs as it is finding the time to fix them.

It's a file that logs crash info. It shouldn't concern you that it couldn't send the dump file, only that the game crashed in the first place.

They don't know the month either, it's very hard to predict at this stage,

JHXP has no idea when it will be released, and neither do the devs.

It looks like he's missing them most of the time, hence why they don't die right away. You need to fire at them for long enough as it takes 3 Minigun rounds to kill someone (not 1 like against peds).

O RLY?

Make sure it's a fresh install of Vice City with no mods.

Okay, you must be entering the info of a server that doesn't exist or you have a firewall blocking your connection. To use the server browser press Servers button above Connect. Tell us if you can connect to any servers through the browser.

The objects and spawnpoints shouldn't be a problem to move, but good point about pickups.

Why not move the building they're in down instead? It will have the same effect. In fact, someone on the QA team already made a very similar mode.

MTA:SA Race is not, MTA:SA DM probably will.

MTA will refuse to load the map if there is a syntax error. Also, if you use LUAEdit to code your LUA scripts, there is a syntax checking function.

In Race you have a lot of cars around you which is stressful on the system, in DM this won't usually be the case. People and vehicles will be more spread much further apart.

Well again, the main reason it's there is so people don't pause, but I understand your frustration.

Please tell me you accidentally made four topics by pressing the submit button multiple times or something. topics deleted btw.

Every server will have scripts.

Because a lot more bugs show up when there are high numbers of players in game, and the best way to track them down would be to hold a public or semi-public beta.

There won't be the custom pickup models from Race, but you can do those things using another visual aide (like markers, health pickups, etc).

Yes it's still in Alpha, next stage will be Beta, then release.

A couple of things wrong with that... The vast majority of the community doesn't have Vista, and is much more interested in DM than Race. The intention of the devs has always been to create a mod with foot and weapon sync, so there is absolutely no chance they will stop DM to further develop Race. It is really quite a ridiculous suggestion, especially since they have already spent months of work on Deathmatch. The other thing you're missing is that MTA:DM will be far different from SA-MP, and that everything in Race will be possible in DM using scripts.

He already solved the problem..

Make a backup of your gta_sa.exe, then use the patch in the thread at the top of this forum. That will downgrade your version to 1.0.

And here's a dev response: http://forum.mtavc.com/viewtopic.php?t= ... &&start=30

It shows your name and health.

Race has been suspended since DM entered development, but I don't think it has been abandoned. I highly doubt you will get a patched version of Race before DM is out, however.
