MTA 0.5r2 crashes before launching the game

[Jaysds1]

hi all,

this is my first time having an error on any MTA game

Anyways, When I start my server and try to connect, I get this error:

and this one (I think they're the same but it comes up after the first one)

I know I was connecting successfully because the server says this:

- MTAServer log opened -

(23:20:40) Listen server started.

(23:20:40)

(23:20:40) Jaysds1 has joined the server (IP Address: 127.0.0.1)

(23:20:57) Jaysds1 quit due to timeout.

(23:25:24) Jaysds1 has joined the server (IP Address: 192.168.1.101)

(23:25:41) Jaysds1 quit due to timeout.

(23:29:02) Jaysds1 has joined the server (IP Address: 192.168.1.101)

(23:29:19) Jaysds1 quit due to timeout.

I've tried running Talidan's Patcher and it said unknown version...

I've just finished installing GTA 3 and I'm see how MTA looks on it, but this is the only thing that's happening so far.

Your screenshots are too small, I can't read the text.

oh, srry:

[Towncivilian]

Strange errors. I've never seen them before. You used this installer, correct?

[Jaysds1]

ya

[Towncivilian]

Install these Visual C++ redistributables and try again.

[Jaysds1]

now I get this:

What's your server IP? I'll try to connect.

Issue was caused by non-existent file at rich MOTD URL.

Issue is self-explanatory. It is caused by not having the correct version executable for the game. The user has been instructed to upgrade to the GTA III 1.1 executable.

Even that last screenshot brings back many memories!

God I miss that ASE shortcut.

I know what you mean. It's a shame we can't just buy out the domain and send all the game queries to Game-Monitor so the old ASE stuff works again

[Jaysds1]

I don't know what your talking about?

What Domain?

I thought we have the game queries?

Why can't we send them to Game-Monitor?

I mean automatically. MTA 0.2-0.5 or so used to use the All-Seeing Eye server browser service, which Yahoo! later bought and then shut down, effectively killing the built-in server browser in those versions of GTA3:MTA and MTA:VC, and earlier versions of MTA:SA. MTA 0.5r2 and newer versions of MTA:SA fixed this in alternate ways, however. MTA 0.5r2 introduced the External Server Browser which works with Game-Monitor for getting a list of MTA 0.x servers, but they must be manually added to Game-Monitor's site by those who wish to list their servers before they will show up in this External Server Browser. As for MTA:SA, they used some nice little code to convert the old ASE protocol to point towards Game-Monitor's website to use a module it currently shares with MTA 0.x over there to list it's own servers, but MTA:SA has also fixed it's auto-query system, so MTA:SA servers are automatically listed in their server browser when they are created, unlike MTA 0.x right now.
