Blank Space Posted December 3, 2003 Share Posted December 3, 2003 I have the MTA:VC .2.2 version with a Vice City purchased at Best Buy(for those who wanna know). I run Windows XP Home with SP1. Pentium4 2.26GHz, 512 ram, 32mb nvidia video card, and soundmax sound card. Anyways, my problem is that MTA:VC shuts down while I play. I just play for one small bit and then no one moves. I exit Vice City and notice that MTA "disappears". It shuts down like this frequently. I have tried using the Windows 98 compatability mode. It turned out worse than the settings I had for it before. I DO use a 56k modem but my ping is still pretty low. Its usually about 150-300. I know belongs in problems and bugs, but the forum wont let me post there. I know this topic has been brought up before but I never found an answer. Link to comment

Coolnat2004 Posted December 3, 2003 Share Posted December 3, 2003 with a Vice City purchased at Best Buy Read next time.. Link to comment
Gamefreek Posted December 3, 2003 Share Posted December 3, 2003 It can still be cracked, most ppl dont wanna use the CD Link to comment
b0b0 Posted December 3, 2003 Share Posted December 3, 2003 Can you tell me exactly why something that removes cd checking would interfere with MTA? Does MTA use anything that the normal exe has that the cracked exe doesn't? Link to comment
Blank Space Posted December 3, 2003 Author Share Posted December 3, 2003 No it is not a cracked CD. I have the "Play" CD in my D:/ drive. Never saw a cracked CD thingy in my life either... Link to comment
Zircon Posted December 3, 2003 Share Posted December 3, 2003 If the client automatically closes without warning, that means you've timed out. Link to comment
Blank Space Posted December 3, 2003 Author Share Posted December 3, 2003 Really? Can you still time out even if the ping is pretty good. (as I am usually in the middle range of ping mine isn't like 121246 more around 300) Link to comment
Zircon Posted December 3, 2003 Share Posted December 3, 2003 Yes, but people with 56k tend to time out more. Link to comment
Blank Space Posted December 3, 2003 Author Share Posted December 3, 2003 Thanks for the help. Anyways, I'm getting DSL soon, SBC finally becomes my bitch!!! Link to comment
Kent747 Posted December 3, 2003 Share Posted December 3, 2003 Can you tell me exactly why something that removes cd checking would interfere with MTA? Does MTA use anything that the normal exe has that the cracked exe doesn't? modifying the executable could change the addresses that data is stored in... and, if the address isn't where we assume it to be, the client can't find out where your car is, or control other cars, move peds, make them shoot things like that....

b0b0 Posted December 6, 2003 Share Posted December 6, 2003 Does it depend on how the gta-vc.exe was cracked? The amount of changes made? Link to comment
ashdexx Posted December 7, 2003 Share Posted December 7, 2003 Anyways, my problem is that MTA:VC shuts down while I play. I just play for one small bit and then no one moves. I exit Vice City and notice that MTA "disappears". It shuts down like this frequently. good, im not the only one who has that problem, kind of a relief. But i thought when you timed out, you would receive some sort of error message, i didnt know it would close mta entirely. my ping is ususally between 180 and 220, yea 56k. Luckily i only time out on the really busy servers, after about 16-20 ppl, it starts getting iffy. Link to comment
Guest Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 I get booted all the time too, and i avg 40-90ping. At first I thought maybe lowering the video settings would work but it hasnt. Link to comment
pokepets360 Posted December 18, 2003 Share Posted December 18, 2003 maybe the server has to restart... when my client closes, I find out that all the others had too... Link to comment
