Race and Vista SP1?

[Yatesyz]

Race 1.1.2 released: https://mtasa.com/96.html

it still wont load, i have vista.

After all that BS, you release an update for race and dont make it vista compatible.

I speak for myself and probably MOST MTA Race players when I say.. It will be a long long time before I consider MTA DM for my Race type cravings.

This is a very very sad day to say the least.

I am totally shocked, and I feel now more than ever that Vista compatibility is simply and intentionaly being ignored for the benifit of DM.

I totally agree.

MTA Race was made for racing, MTA deathmatch was not. I play the game to race. I want MTA Race to work on vista!

Oh for gods sake, stop overreacting. I made this race fix at 4am in the morning the day before I have a very important exam, because people wanted a race fix. I _THOUGHT_ it would work on Vista - it was even on the changelog. Unfortunately it doesn't currently, and if someone can tell me specifically WHAT is wrong with it, I'll have a go at fixing it and we can release 1.1.3. If people just want to bitch about it and not offer any information, I can't help.

I don't know why it wont work on vista, it just wont load.

At what stage? Does it show anything at all? The splash screen? The menu?

There appear to be some missing and/or misnamed dirs when comparing race 1.1.1 and 1.1.2

Installing 1.1.2 over 1.1.1 hides these issues

Try Installing 1.1.2 fresh, and taking a look...

Okay, it seems like the following needs to be done to 1.1.2 to

get it to work without installing over 1.1.1 :

rename

\Program Files\MTA San Andreas\mods\editor

to

\Program Files\MTA San Andreas\mods\map_editor

create

\Program Files\MTA San Andreas\mods\map_editor\maps

also,

\Program Files\MTA San Andreas\mods\race\models

along with its contents, is completely missing from 1.1.2

Don't know if its required though...

Edit: Just checked - it is required for in-game pickup graphics

I dunno if this helps any or not but I'm running Vista Ultimate 32-bit SP1 and "core.txt" in "C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\GTA San Andreas\MTA" says something that may be useful:

** -- Unhandled exception -- ** 
  
Mod name = TODO 
Time = Sun May 18 14:26:17 2008 
Code = 0xC0000005 
Offset = 0x04878C0F

** -- End of unhandled exception -- ** 
  
  
  

BTW when I start the race it just shows the splash screen and goes back to desktop... I'm assuming this "core.log" would be the error log?
