WDF Scary Loading SCREEN!!!

[[PP]Strapstah]

Hi i was playin in dedicated server UK Just a min ago and it a weird screen appeard. Look.:

It said loading in the middle. But i only got this. !!! WEIRD

[orappa]

Why is MTA running in a window and not full screen? Did you install something to make it do this?

[[PP]Strapstah]

Yes, I made a ddl, that makes it windowed Why? U want it?

[orappa]

Maybe that has something to do with it.

[[PP]Strapstah]

nope its not, because every 1 else saw it.

[:Rob]

you're not supposed to minimise - It makes MTA feel rejected and hurt.

[MrJax]

I've had that alot messing with SA, could be anything.

[orappa]

you're not supposed to minimise - It makes MTA feel rejected and hurt.

Actually, it pauses the game and then you get hit with loads of packets at once when you maximise again. I don't think that happens in windowed mode though... not sure.

[MrJax]

Well the game still runs while its windowed, so no it doesn't.

[Guest]

Can I get the thing that makes it play in a window please?

[MrJax]

Theres a few directX hooks around where you can just launch the game with a -window parameter. Check out GTAForums

[Guest]

Can you be more specific please? I tried the more popular one from smithers. I also tried this one http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showtopic=222397. They both work single player but how do you get them to work with mtasa?

[MrJax]

Ah rite, forgot you can't launch with your own params using MTA.

Just download THIS one and stick it in your SA folder

Lol this, what you see is coused by a VEARY bad placed spawn. I discovered it when I was playing around with placing spawnpoints. the camera starts normal and it looks like everything gets hot... I frapsed it

the camera just got stuck... the only thing you had to do is wait at another race.

[[PP]Strapstah]

its not because of windowed mode because ALL THE OTHERS Saw t i swear!!!

[BTH]

It has happened to me a few times(mostly when spectating)

[DJ Nick]

it happened to me, i was on my friends server, just me and him, and we were in boats, we fell from a great height (far up in the sky) and i landed nose first into the water, instantly, that same screen came up, like it was on fire. i asked my friend about it and he says that its a graphics problem, i have a crappy computer (Dell ) , mabye that has anything to do with it?

[Leviathan]

nothing wrong with pc's or something, the camera just gets stuck and then this is what you see... no problem at all...

[eAi]

There was a reason we prevented people from alt+tabbing. If you modify your game, don't expect support from us. When you installed MTA you agreed you would not run it on a modified game, you clearly are doing so.

[Leviathan]

this bug is not caused by his dll

and it's just a 'normal' camera bug that somethimes happens... no problem at all...

[[PP]Strapstah]

Thaank u, eAi, no need for you to make say that... every 1 else saw it. Its not like, only me saw it.

[NapsK]

So.. This is just a bug? Nothing to do with graphics whats caused by your own hardware?

[[PP]Strapstah]

its nothing do to with graphics card, because every 1 else saw it so obviously not. I think its a bug, or a ufo. Its possible :S:S

[Leviathan]

everyone can get this bug it just depends on the map you're playing on

I was playing around with spawnpoints on my test only map and I allso got it: http://youtube.com/watch?v=4RxHFAbfZJg

[NapsK]

Alright, I've never recieved this sort of bugs =D
