[Bob_TDH]

omg, now my dream comes true, no crashes at all, i even forgot about unhandled exception....great program, thanks man

[AcE_]

I have the registered version, works like a charm

[Xc0n]

I will hunt you down and lick your balls if it works for me. Me crashing every minute aint nice.

[Posty]

I dont see how this works. I ran it, made sure it was on, and MTAVC crashes. Is this thing for when it freezes and is unresponsive? Because a "crash" is usually an unhandled exception, which this does shit for.

[Bob_TDH]

In the Repair options, there is feature called Scan Program, try to use it on mta.

OMG O_O It works. I haven't crashed at all. This application rules.

[vass69]

why u discovered that so late, itwould have helped in 0.2 where u crashed every 5min

[dystopia]

why wasn't this posted for the past mta's? ace says "i have the reged version" and he never told about it? lol

Not only did it keep mta from crashing, it solved a bastard driver issue that caused explorer to crash when previewing divx...first adaware now anticrash

Edit, oh yeah and my post count just completely disappeared, someone replace those plz

[MasterEvilAce]

"i have the reged version" and he never told about it? lol

He probably got the program when he read this.. THEN acquired the regged version

Whatever, if you don't know, you don't deserve to know

[Revs]

btw.. its about 60 quid ago..

also, I noticed something.. the more people on the server, the more crashes..

Does the MTA team have an idea on what causes the main crash?

As far as I can tell, maybe the server is getting overloaded and is mismanaging packets at some point, because so many users are playing? or the connection gets overwhelmed and packets are dropped, causing weird things to happen.. Maybe the server is sending data for one thing to happen, but that conflicts with data that was already sent

not sure.. I just know with 20 players or more, crashes happen a lot more.. and with under 10 players, i've never really experienced a crash

is it a data /sync thing, or is there a certain sequence of events that players do unknowingly, that crashes the exe? (and having more players, raises the chances of someone triggering these events)

or does nobody know?

[Revs]

its likely. that with 20 players or more. you have a cheator. and cheators make the server crash alot.

[orappa]

No... exceptions are usually caused by memory problems. I think it may be due to MTA overwriting GTA's memory locations which GTA then tries to write to... maybe. This should be of interest to you:

[Si|ent]

Basically the more thats going on, the more activity, the more chance of a crash because one of the 'somethings' that trip mta up is likely to happen a lot sooner.

Common sense really.

[Si|ent]

When using this anticrash thing, you scan the exe beforehand correct? The question is are you scanning mtaclient.exe or gta3/gta_vc.exe?

Perhaps someone whos using it succesfully could post a short set of instructions for those who are unsure what procedure to follow.

[MrJax]

yeh, i agree, nice find jay!

i think ur suposed to scan ur whole pc, then scan the VC and MTA .exe's,

i did this, and noticed a huge change

my spectator mode used to crash non stop, especially when switchin players, but now i can do anythin and it doesnt crash!

altho i dont think it stops all crashes, i hav crashed twice so far, after runnin it for an hour, which is amazin seein as i crashed about 20 times in 5 mins when i first tried it!

[Si|ent]

And are you making the changes permenant after/during the scan?

[Guest]

1 hour an 12 minutes of me purposely trying tomake my game crash before actually did. I sprinted fromthe robber spawn over an over without a crash, i pressed the next key in spectator mode over an over an over and it would not crash .

This program is amazing, this needs to be made sticky.
