No such mod installed (Deathmatch) again


robhol

Question

Short summary

Windows XP, MTA's been working pretty much flawlessly since DP2. Reinstalled XP some time ago, both single-player, MTA and even SA-MP worked like they should. Yesterday, I was running the editor on my private localhost server (separate from the installation directory/default one) and mapping some objects. When I exited MTA due to a problem with a resource (see longer story below) I couldn't reenter - when I tried connecting to ANY server, I get this freaking annoying error message. "No such mod installed (Deathmatch)"

FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-!! In other words, I can't get into MTA anymore. Any server I try to connect to will fail, with the same error message.

First, I tried restarting MTA again. Same error.

Then I restarted the server, same error.

Tried to connect to another server, same error.

Reinstalled MTA on top of previous installation. Same error.

Uninstalled, reinstalled, same error.

Uninstalled, wiped MTA dir from Program Files, reinstalled 1.0.1, same error.

Uninstalled, went looking for registry keys (tipped off by [FMJ]MACK), couldn't find them, wiped the installation dir again for good measure, reinstalled.

Guess what?

That's right. Same error.

Since I'm in the final phases of readying San Fierro Deathmatch for release, this COULD NOT COME at a worse time, and quite frankly, I feel about this close (||) to going on a murderous rampage at the moment*.

*) Disclaimer: actual murderous rampage may not take place.

I see there are two other topics with this error on it, but one's not the same OS, neither of them is actually offering a solution, and I didn't feel like highjacking an existing topic with this admittedly HUGE post.

I hope somebody will be able to help, as never playing MTA again (except on my ultra-crappy laptop) isn't a prospect I'm looking forward to.

Thanks in advance.

Wow. That could be a verryy serious problem you got there.

I never had that error before.Maybe you felt like getting... :arrow::pale: pale.

So tense that your head gets white...

It was so sad when it happens you know.

My solution: System restore to the past.

If not, I can`t help you. Sorry.

Well, this picture describes my feelings somewhat better:

System restore should be a last resort - it has NEVER worked properly for me, but ALWAYS caused more bullcrap than it solved. Thanks for the tip, though. I suppose it can be the last thing before a format/reinstall.

I forgot to mention (here, that is) the error message in CONSOLE is something about "the indicated procedure" not being found. That error showed up in my local system language, and so I translated it. It's probably not what it would look like in English, but it could still be a pointer towards the problem, I guess.

Didn't work. I also tried raping MTA AND GTA with Revo Uninstaller and then reinstalling, but still nothing.

Anyway, I think the problem is either the DLL (which'd be odd), a dependency of it (someone tell me if this is odd) or the way in which it's read.

New error, new post. The same epically retarded error happens on a completely different OS. This time it's Win-7 Ultimate, x64. It was working for a while, and then bam. No more MTA. The error appeared suddenly yesterday.

When running [MTA inst. dir]/mods/deathmatch/client.dll through dependency walker, I get the following output.

Error: At least one required implicit or forwarded dependency was not found.
Error: At least one module has an unresolved import due to a missing export function in an implicitly dependent module.
Error: Modules with different CPU types were found.
Warning: At least one module has an unresolved import due to a missing export function in a delay-load dependent module.

Irrklang.dll shows up as missing. I copied it from /MTA, and that error's gone at least. That leaves

Error: At least one module has an unresolved import due to a missing export function in an implicitly dependent module.
Error: Modules with different CPU types were found.
Warning: At least one module has an unresolved import due to a missing export function in a delay-load dependent module.

I was hoping someone could learn something from this, as I'm on deep water here. As it's bitching about different CPU types, keep in mind that the error has happened on both 32 and 64-bit...

I didn't install anything weird between the time where it was working and the time where the error appeared, but since Windows Update apparently didn't want to listen to me, it might have installed updates.

I've searched for malware, without finding anything, same as for the last time.

If you need more info, ask.

Reading this thread.

Or even, just the above reply by robhol, which specifically details the cause AND has a link to a fixed client.dll file.

He said he used the dll, which still didn't fix the problem.. Maybe read his post next time?

Anyway, try this.

http://files.uploadffs.com/c/b/fa71ba8d/deathmatch.rar

Put the files in

C:\Program Files (x86)\MTA San Andreas\mods\deathmatch (or whatever drive it's installed on).

I'm not sure if this is the fix, but I had that problem and those files fixed it, so eh, give it a try :P
