Help black screen on 1.1.1!

[charles_browning1]

oI need help ASAP because whenever I try to join a server i just get a black screen that says

"* Connected![MTA:SA server 1.1.1 Windows]

very similar to this one I found

I've tried port forwarding changing the settings in the client and it's weird when I get this black screen it like soaks up my internet I open my browser and I get page cannot be displayed and everyone else using the net DC's.

Please help.

The server is clearly 1.1 in your screenshot.

If the game doesn't work even with 1.1.1 servers, then try to run the game as Administrator and with Windows XP SP3 compatibility.

many people trying to join my server have this same problem and maybe 10 or so of my regular players.

the server is running on linux and the problem only started since updating to 1.1.1

they say theres no download process bar on join, but theyre downloading 'something' (after checking bandwidth usage)

after waiting half an hour or so, theyve downloaded around 400mb of 'something'... no idea what.

ive told them to reinstall gta and mta which im told they did but still the problem continues.

it seems they can sometimes join 'normally' if there are 35 or less players,

but most of the time i have 60+ players so this doesnt help them.

any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated. thx.
