Ptoblem with MTA

[Guest]

Hey, im having a problem. I enter the mta program and when I try to connect to a game, it says "connected to..... (ip)". It just stays here and doesnt do anything. Also, when I try to create a game, it works, but when I try to connect, it says "Run-time error 40020. Invalid runtime at current state." What does this mean? I am behind a router if that helps. Thanks.

-when you try to conn and nothing happens, that is because the server is full

-when you start a server, you have to wait for people to connect to you. trying to conn to other ppl crashes it. its aphla.

for the 10th time. (no offence to u but offence to the admins for not making a bigger deal out of this *cough* sticky *cough*) The servers listed in the mta exe file have never worked for me. They are normally full or are hosted behind a firewall. Heres what i sudjest. Call up a friend and organize a game. OR organize a game with some 1 else in the mta channel on irc.

YES! a stickey is needed. the listed ip's do work, you just have to spent like 10 mins of refreshing and testing to make them work. thats y i just start servers

I'm trying to say that when I create a game, it's okay. When I try to join the game I made, it doesn't work. Whats the deal with this?

why would you want to join your own game?

*GTAtari thinks* "so he can play with himself"

uhh your supposed to create a game and wait for a stranger to to join then you play him.. MTA can only do one thing at a time: connect or create. if you try to both it crashes because winsoc is not ready.
