MTA folder not appearing in GTA SA directory

[Youngskeezey]

I'm sure that there's supposed to be an MTA folder in the GTA SA directory as well, I think someone said it in one of the troubleshooting problems. Anyway, I've been having trouble receiving the Master Server list, and I do not have a MTA file in my GTA SA directory. Could this be the problem that everyone is having with retrieving the Master Server list?

older mta versions were used to have the MTA folder right in the Grand Theft Auto directory. however this has been changed, the MTA folder is now located directly in mta's install directory.

problems with retrieving the server list are usually not an user fault, if you get it there are high chances that others get it at this time too, retrying it a few times usually solves the problem, if it doesn't i'd recommend you to use the recently played category. if you are getting this issue all the time it could be related to your fire wall (or some nifty anti virus program which thinks it has to do a firewalls job)
