Si|ent Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 (edited) It seems a small percentage of players are getting oddly high pungs wherever they try to play, from a 50 ping in 0.3 to a 700 ping in 0.4. If you are one of these people and ONLY if you are please post the following information. This is to help us try and track down why its happening for a few but not the majority of players CPU RAM VIDEO CARD CONNECTION SPEED ISP ROUTER yes/no Router type/model FIREWALL yes/no Firewall type Operating system Other internet applications running Do you have both gta3 and vice city GTAVC version GTA3 version Are you running admin are you running admin+ Are you running mtama connected to admin are you running mtama connected to admin+ Edited July 23, 2004 by Guest Link to comment

Oli Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 (edited) ok i HAD this problem, but i have since fixed it. I was running a program called "Netlimiter" which limits bandwidth to programs. I use it when using bittorrent Anyways, i havnt tested on a full server yet, but it wors right now on 14/26 The way i did it was to systematically go througha ll the processes on my comp ending them till my ping got better on MTA. I started with the ones i know use the net, and then when i ended net limiter it was ok. I suggest all the other ppl who have this prob do the same sort of thing. Here are my answers: AMD Athlon 2100+ 1GB DDR400 RAM Nvidia Geforce 4 Ti 4800 576kbit/s down 288 kbit/s up PIPEX Broadband internet Router = YES (DMZ is ON) Firewall = NO Windows XP Professional SP1 MSN Plus 3, Miranda IM (ICQ, Gadu-Gadu, yahoo, AIM, MSN, Tlen) Internet Explorer, mIRC, Teamspeak Both VC and GTA3 Running Admin Not running admin+ Running MTAMA, connected to 2 servers Not running Admin+ EDIT: Its started happeneing again when the server hit 18/26 players Edited July 23, 2004 by Guest Link to comment

Cray Posted July 31, 2004 Share Posted July 31, 2004 MTA 0.4.1 is released and the bandwidth problem (and subsequently part of the ping problem), should be patched ... give it a go. Link to comment
