Nutz Posted January 1, 2004 Posted January 1, 2004 Does anyone with this problem have more than one mta_dll.dll on their system? That 's the only thing I can think of that would cause this. I know when I had mta 0.2 and 0.2.2 on my system it was usin the old dll and that caused all kinds of craashes. Do a find->files or folders-> mta_dll.dll and see what you have. I started with a clean vc install and used the .zip unzipped to the vc dir and it worked fine.
Guest Posted January 1, 2004 Posted January 1, 2004 I only have one copy of the file mta_dll.dll which is in my mtavc directory, although I found another mta_dll.dll within the MTAInstallv2.zip but I dont think that should affect anything... and I still get the problem, no one on radar or in the game, just the chat..

Guest Posted January 1, 2004 Posted January 1, 2004 I don't think its the operating system because me and my brother both installed the patch and mine works and his doesn't we both have Windows 2000.
dystopia Posted January 1, 2004 Posted January 1, 2004 To those who have unintalled v.3 and installed 2.2, remember that the official servers are now .3 instead of .2.2,, be sure to test on a .2.2 server, or it won't work at all i've found. I had the radar problem as well, uninstalled, put .2.2 back on, and it works fine with .2.2 servers, altho those don't currently include the official ones, it's better than nothing til they patch it up. BTW, why is it so important you get on blaze, last time i saw you, you were sitting there spamming out of game, not to criticize or anything...no wait it is criticization.

(47 min ago in TX) How about mta.ini in \windows? Did you delete that before installing 0.3?
dystopia Posted January 1, 2004 Posted January 1, 2004 ::starts to dislike the mta installer:: what does that ini do exactly, someone was saying that the error is occuring because the client doesn't refresh the info to the game, is it perhaps related to something like that?
Guest Posted January 1, 2004 Posted January 1, 2004 alot of people in our clan/the official servs are saying that if you restart vice city a couple of times you might "get lucky." so heres something i want someone to try, get on a server, and just restart vice city (close to windows then open it back up again and get in game) and do that about 10 times. if that works lemme know.
dystopia Posted January 1, 2004 Posted January 1, 2004 no go here...just fmi whered your post count go deathB? ::curiousness::
TempEcho Posted January 1, 2004 Posted January 1, 2004 Well , I dont have the problem , but I know about the map sometimes slow loading , just wait 5 minutes , and it should be ok , if not it might be an main.scm error or something because the main.scm controlls the other players I suppose. Xanni
#ImVision# Posted January 1, 2004 Posted January 1, 2004 Hmmm I have an Nvidia chipset too (nforce 2) and i get the prob. Maye it hardware related.
Haus Posted January 1, 2004 Posted January 1, 2004 Hmmm I have an Nvidia chipset too (nforce 2) and i get the prob. Maye it hardware related. Not likely. Not everyone who has had the problem has an nforce2. I give up for now. I have tried every easy fix I can think of and nothing works. LEts hope there is a fix for it soon.
Guest Posted January 1, 2004 Posted January 1, 2004 Whenever i change the C:\WINDOWS\mta.ini and start up cliet, then change is not made. And i look back at mta.ini and my changes are gone. i am very sure that i saved it. Could this gotta do with the mta_dll.dll error problem?
Combine Posted January 1, 2004 Posted January 1, 2004 What you do is just rename [game-vc] to [game-exe] Then the first time you start it up it will ask for the directory, but after that it wont.
