Network Trouble occurs just after spawning

[oversteerer]

Hi all, first post for me regarding an issue that ive been having the last couple of days.

When playing on matrix, FSP and WCG etc after being killed and respawned i get a network trouble message which freezes me on the spawn spot however i can type messages and view scoreboard as normal. It doesnt seem like lag, just that im frozen and the network trouble message is there.

This happens about 10 seconds after spawning and i can run away initially, jump in a car drive away etc but 50% of the time it warps be back to spawn frozen... if i type/kill i respawn again and am usually fine. If i have an admin warp me a car or bike then i can drive away fine and the lag is gone.

I updated to 1.0.4 about a week ago using a nightly build then a few days later it updated itself again in game.

Maybe i need to reinstall GTA but i thought id ask before going to such lengths, the game runs fine other than this new issue.

It will be no problem with GTA:SA.

Try these:

Turn of your firewall or configure it to the game

If you running through a router check your internet connection strength in the bottom right.

The server that you are playing is in a different country, so this will make you lag.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply winjax.

I have discovered i can jump free of this network freeze by pressing jump repeatedly however it sometimes takes a minute of jumping before im free. The punch key seems to work faster so it is not such a big deal now i can get out of it.

I've got the same problem when I updated to 1.0.4. As I discovered, this problem occurs when you get weapons immediately after you have been respawned with holding 'Fire' key. So the best way is put timers on giving weapons to players.

And yea, the jump button helps you to get out from NT ..

Hmm and No problem and i have never came across this because i always play the Race side of MTA:SA.

And i have found out that it is a problem with MTA:SA 1.0.4.

When you load up the server can you tell me if it is running on server 1.0.4?

I have the same problem, it really gets annoying. Sometimes it freezes after spawn, sometimes when you pick up weapon pickup or just randomly pops up.

This started after upgrading to 1.0.4 server. Still can't find proper solution to prevent all of those network troubles.
