ViceCity starting normal - not with Multiplayer Modification

[Guest]

Hi theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeere.

I have two computers, one ist from my brother one is mine. I installed original VC on both Computers and SinglePlayer works perfectly.

Now I downloaded MTA 0.5. On my Computer it works fine. I cant run a server but I can join one. Everytime I want to start a server clicking on "Start Game" the MTA 0.5 crashes and I am back on my Desktop.

So only Client is working. The other Computer has another problem. If I select a server and click Start Game, the game starts but not in the multiplayer Modification as it appears on my computer. You can Start a game or load a game - its normal VC. So whats the problem on my brothers PC and whats the Problem with creating a server. Please help me.

Problem solved: I had to change the language into english.

But there's still the other prob with the creation of a server. Everytime I create one MTA crashes and show me my Desktop without any information.

For the solution to your creating server problem, open up the MTA folder in Program Files and delete the .manifest file there. Problem solved

hi, thank you for your fast reply. I did as you told me - but no changes, MTA Crashes immediately after clicking on "Start Server"

Is there a possibility to play over LAN?

[Jani]

Yes, but you have to disable MOTD downloading in the client.

open the mta.ini in mta dir and under words '[Main]' type 'DontGetLatest=1' without ''

helloooooo. Nobody can help me? I want to play with my brother over LAN is that possible, because if we meet on a server the game has very low performance. Everything is very dizy!!!

try launching it directly from command prompt

this is done by going into accessories, then command prompt. then enter the full path of the server. I've found this has worked when i had similar problems

[Guest]

what do you mean with full path of the server. I cant work with the Command Prompt - Its to difficult. Please tell me what I have to type in.

Click on Start->Run

Type in

"cmd" 

In the black command prompt type:

cd "c:\program files\mta"

Use you MTA installation directory here. It is the one you have installed MTA into during the setup.

There you can start the server with the command

MTAServer.exe

In the game options, change language to English.
