Help what shall i do?

[Guest]

When i click on the icon for MTA 0.5 it says that MTA 0.5 has to close and asks if to send a error message or not what shall i do? I have tryed to reinstall a few times but i cant think what it is wrong i also checked to see if my firewall was blocking it but it isnt.

Sorry if this has already been posted but as you can see im not a common user of this forum.

thanks for any help you can give me.

Sounds like this error (from Known Issues):

Crash on client startup

This might be causes by being unable to download the welcome message. This should only happen if the MTA site is down, or you aren't connected to the internet. If this is the case, it should try to download it for about 15 seconds - before it gives the crash. It might be possible to fix this by adding "DontGetLatest=1" on the second line of your "mta.ini" in your MTA folder (under "[Main]"). Alternatively, try creating a blank file called "mtaclientwelcome.dat" in your MTA folder - this is probably only relevant if this is the first time you've run the MTA 0.5 client.

Update: We've managed to replicate, confirm and fix this bug. Whenever we release a general patch, this will be fixed. In the meantime, ensure mtaclient.exe can access the internet through your firewall, or for on a LAN you can change the following value in mta.ini .

DontGetLatest=1
