[FIXED] MTA VC Crash : Progress bar then boom! Windows.

[Guest]

Edit : FIXED by reinstalling windows, GTA, and MTA.

Just for the record, the problem was :

--

Hello !

I just bought GTA VC to play MTA. But I do not succeed playing MTA.

When I start MTA progress bar appears but once complete, I'm back on Windows without any trace of GTA. In the meantime, GTA itself works.

Here is what I tried (none of these worked) :

* I selected English as language (I bought french version),

* I copied .gxt files except american in my MTA folder

* I created an empty mtaclientwelcome.dat file in my MTA folder

* I upgraded to GTA VC 1.1

* I changed in-game resolution to 800x600

I am using MTA 0.5. Could you please help me fixing this ?

Thank you, I'm pretty sure MTA is great to play...

Erm, if you upgraded to 1.1, you need to change the version in the options tab of the client from 1.0 to 1.1, also make sure you have played Vice City at least once in single player

Well, sorry I did not mention but I did all that things too.

I played GTA alone a bit. I tried MTA. Said to put in english. Did so.

Starting then I always faced my bug (progress bar -> back to windows).

BTW, sound is not working on my windows ( I need to fix that too ), do you think it could be somewhat related (GTA itself works) ?

Uninstall MTA again, and reinstall

[Guest]

Thanks for your answers.

Edit : Ok, I'm back. I uninstalled and redownloaded-reinstalled MTA 0.5, checked that version 1.1 is choosen in the options, and MTA still crashes

I'm feeling bad 'cause I really bought GTA VC just for MTA..

Your MTAClient crashes or your ViceCity crashes?

[Guest]

Vice City crashes. I mean : I can launch the MTA client, connect to a server and "Start game", it launches the MTA version of VC. I choose new game > start multiplayer game. Then progress bar appears and when it is fully complete I'm back on windows with, still, the MTA client open.

Strange thing is GTA VC itself works. I played a bit with it.

Perhaps some other applications on your computer are still swtich on while you are playing, some anti virus programs might have to be switched off, MSN etc. if you havent already done so.

[Guest]

Thanks but ... well no program/antivirus or such is running when I try to play MTA. Am I the only one to report such crash ?

[Brophy]

Check if the american.gxt is in the mta folder in gta vice city and the mtad.scm and mtas.scm is in the data folder

[Guest]

Ok guys, this has been FIXED by re-installing windows, gta, and mta. Don't know what the problem was.

Thanks.

Maybe you've been using xfire while running mta? On certain systems it does crash mtavc (like on mine, for example). Disabling it before launching mta fixes it.

[Guest]

No. I don't know what xfire is. anyway problem is now solved, thanks.

[Guest]

I have the same problem, I press Start Game in MTA Client then the game loads and I press the Start...multiplayer... and the progress bar loads and when it's full the game minimizes and it's gone!

I don't have the posibility to reinstall the windows so please tell me how to make this to work.

p.s. I don't have xfire and other, I've set the resolution to 800x600 and have all the files in the MTA folder a.s.o., please help.

THe problem was " -- " ?

did a moderator edit this? what happened?

[Guest]

what's FIXED ?????????

I still have this problem, it crashes and I will not reinstall my entire windows an all programs and games for MTA ! I like GTA but don't you guys have any other patch or something like that for this problem?

And disabling firewall and antivir isn't a good solution !

So please help, and don't tell me again to begin another topic when this is on the first page !

Isn't there any MTA programmer that can fix this stupid litle problem?

Tnx
