BlaZe_UK Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 Hi there, admins, developers, anyone out there please can you help us MTA 0.3 users deal with this issue. On MTA 0.3 when I start up the game there is nobody on my map nobody at all, and if i drive around nobody can be seen. Not only I have been having this problem. Many people on all the servers i have been into are also having these problems. I have uninstalled and reinstallad Vice City 2 times and MTA loads of times and it still wont work. Ive even opened up ports 2003, 4003 (i run mta servers) , and 2126 and nothing. PLesae can somebody come up with some ideas or a solution for this problem. And just incase you wanted to know, im on Windows XP Pro, i use a router, and im not a noob Thank You Link to comment
Guest Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 Same problem here. Tried using 1.0 and 1.1. Tried uninstalling everything and reinstalling. Tried uninstalling MTA and reinstalling. Tried turning off my firewall. Tried running the gta-vc.exe with and without compatibility mode. Tried different display settings. I even tried a different modem and ISP. Nothing. All I can see is the blips on the radar for those players in the character select on the top of the hotel. Chat works fine and the game doesn't crash or anything. I'm using the UK/EUR version of GTA:VC, legitimate purchased copy, no mods or patches beyond the official 1.1 patch. Link to comment
Guest Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 I forgot to add that I had absolutely no problems with 0.2.2, so this is obviously something that has been broken in the new version. I so wanted to play tonight too! Link to comment
BlaZe_UK Posted December 31, 2003 Author Share Posted December 31, 2003 yeah. i forgot to say i could see the blips at the lighthouse too. but nothing else the chat and stuff works fine for me! i can even chat in the game! Link to comment
Cray Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 Chances are it is a path problem or some of your files are messed up. I would get a fresh install of GTA:VC, remove all occurences of MTA altogether, and start from the base. Link to comment
Guest Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 I've done exactly that 3 times already Cray, and no improvement. Link to comment
BlaZe_UK Posted December 31, 2003 Author Share Posted December 31, 2003 i did do that cray. i uninstalled vc using the uninstaller then manually deleted anything left in the program files folder and the same for mta. i do use a no-cd crack, but that guy above me with the same problem doesnt. so it cant be that. and like over 50 people have this problem. please help us Link to comment
Guest Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 So far in the last 20 minutes on the official server, we've had around 10 different people with this exact problem. So it's not just an isolated thing. Link to comment
Guest Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 Same exact problem here. 0.2.2 worked GREAT, and this one, upon installing, shows no one on the radar, and on one in-game. I've uninstalled MTA and VC, manually deleted their directories, reinstalled both, and I STILL can't see anyone in-game or on radar. I really wanna play! Link to comment
b0b0 Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 I am also having this very same problem. I don't know whether this has anything to do with it, but I am also having to reset the game path every time I join a game because it cannot find mta_dll.dll. I have uninstalled + deleted mta.ini several times, and I have had no success. Link to comment
Si|ent Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 Want a solution? http://forum.mtavc.com/viewtopic.php?p=60752 help us find one Link to comment
Myden Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 god damnit. They deleted my post. Everyone just download the zipped version of MTA, I would bet anything it will fix the problem. Link to comment
b0b0 Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 No, it doesn't. I tried it, and it didn't work. Same problem. Link to comment
TempEcho Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 I dont have that problem... Xanni Link to comment
swift Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 hmm, All I did was just uninstalled MTA and I do use a CD crack, everything is fine for me. Link to comment
Myden Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 No, it doesn't. I tried it, and it didn't work. Same problem. proved me wrong. oh well, worth a shot. Link to comment
Guest Posted January 1, 2004 Share Posted January 1, 2004 I have the same ****ing problem!!! Link to comment
Addictive_ Posted January 1, 2004 Share Posted January 1, 2004 I have an idea of how blips won't show up on mta 0.3 for some people out there like me. Many people installed 0.3 over 0.2.2 or so, thus changing something in a registy or somewhere else we don't know about. Because I did the same thing, downloaded mta 0.3 and installed over 0.2.2 and now it doesn't work. Other people uninstalled 0.2.2 and then installed 0.3 and worked for them. May that be the problem?

BlaZe_UK Posted January 1, 2004 Author Share Posted January 1, 2004 THAT MAY BE THE POSSIBLE CAUSE. SOUNDS LOGICAL. what do u think MTA Team? Link to comment
Guest Posted January 1, 2004 Share Posted January 1, 2004 i used a fresh install, had nothing of MTA on my hdd, then i installed, and i got the fuckin bug and it sucks. big time. Link to comment
Haus Posted January 1, 2004 Share Posted January 1, 2004 I installed it on one of my PC's over .2.2 and it worked fine. I did the same thing on another and it broke. I completely uninstalled everything and even hunted down registry keys. Still broke. Anyhow I don't think it has anything to do with whether you have had MTA .2.2 on your system at any time, or whether you unistalled it. Link to comment
stone-rhino Posted January 1, 2004 Share Posted January 1, 2004 What are the differences between your two comps? Link to comment
Guest Posted January 1, 2004 Share Posted January 1, 2004 What are the differences between your two comps? ^^^ What he said! Link to comment
Haus Posted January 1, 2004 Share Posted January 1, 2004 (edited) Mainboard chipset(VIA works, nvidia doesn't), CPU archecture(both are AMD but one is a Thunderbird and the other in an Athlon XP with 512 cache), One has a Geforce 4 Ti-4200, the other a Geforce 4 MX. That's really all that is significant. They both have onboard LAN cards and go through the same router. Nothing of importance that I see there, as the people posting with this problem have had a wide variety of hardware(all kinds of CPU's, Video cards, etc.) Oh, and software wise, its hard telling. They both have a lot of different stuff, but they are running the same build of winxp and have many of the same drivers. Edited January 1, 2004 by Guest Link to comment
b0b0 Posted January 1, 2004 Share Posted January 1, 2004 One thing I notice: Everyone who posted in that thread is running Windows XP. Is anyone with Windows 2000 having this problem? Link to comment
