Find the shortcut to MTA in the start menu and click it. When the dialog appears, click Servers and find a server with some players in it. Either double click it or single click it and then click Connect. Once it has connected, click Start Game.

You are running the client, not the server, right?

i dont know what your talking about lol im sorry im realy new to this modding thing plz explaine

Ok, here's what to do (from the beginning):

1. Download the MTA 0.5 client from here: http://www.gonnaplay.com/fileInfo.php?g=201&f=23

2. Install it, making sure that your GTA3 and Vice City (if you have both) directories are correct.

3. I think it puts an icon on your desktop (can't remember). If so, double click it. If not, find the icon in the start menu.

4. I think it says something about it being a beta and that you should expect bugs to exist. Click Ok.

5. You should now see the main MTA dialog. Click the Servers button and a server list will appear. Find a server with some players in it and either double click it or select it and click Connect.

6. Once it has connected, click on Start Game.

Note: You need GTA3 v1.1 in order to play. Get it here if you don't have it already: http://take2games.com/index.php?p=suppo ... on=patches

You sure none of them help you out, Its quite hard with people explaining it to you and you have no idea what their on about.

Cant we make ppl in here post their (mental) age and ability in English before any asking any questions.. The hard part about this question is not the answer, but the way to bring it to the OP... BAH

You have to run the client which has the icon of the GTAIII Character, 8-Ball, the black guy. Not the Server

You racist lol.

Anyway, I got some pictures guides that will explain how.

First of all, there should be a short cut on your desktop, if there isnt any shortcut, then do this instead:

The red marks is the one you should NOT click, the green icon with the circle inside is the one you need to click. So once you found it, double click it.

A window something like this should pop up. So you enter the stuff in the options, including your name before you connect to a server.

Click this button and wait for the list to be done.

After that, choose a server you want to play in(If you have GTA3 choose GTA3:MTA) and double click it. It should connect automatically if you double click properly.

After it says "Connected" click Start Game to play GTA3:MTA and enjoy it. Be sure you have the 1.1 exacutible

I hope that clears it up.

Thanks to imageshack for hosting the files.
