Lan server problem

[Guest]

alright, i downloaded the latest version of MTA 0.4.1. I have Vice City installed on 3 computers one of them being an MTA server. When i connect from the other 2 machines, it connects fine no errors or anything. I start up the game from both machines but once we are in the game we find out that we arent in the same game, its as if we connected to 2 different instances of the MTA server. We can chat with each other and see all in game chat messages but we cannot see each other at all, we do not show up on the radar eve when we could be standing in the exact same spot.

I have reinstalled Vice City on all machines and MTA 0.4.1 but I am having the exact same problem. Anyone have any suggestions?

If you say anything but 2000/XP it won't work correctly Also, puttin MTAclient.exe on a compatability mode may cause this.

haha, windows XP pro on all 3 machines.

1.

amd 2400+

asus a7v333

radeon 9800pro

1gig DDR

2.

amd 2000+

MSI K7N2

Geforce4 MX 440

512 DDR

3.(server)

amd 1800+

MSI K7N2

Geforce2 MX 220

512 DDR

previous versions of MTA have worked without any problems, however I would run into the odd problem where all of a sudden we would not be able to see each other in game, but could still talk. This was a rare occurance however. Simply disconnecting and reconnecting would correct this problem.

no grafic crad...

can i use tthe old computer for the lan server ,will it be fast inaf..?

[orappa]

I very much doubt that it'll be fast enough. You'd get better performance running it non-dedicated on the first PC (although RAM may be an issue).

I have the same problem. It seems that on 2 pcs there are two different games (we can't see each other), but the chat works well. I use mta 0.4.1 and winxp pro. Does anybody know whats a problem?

[darkdreamingdan]

do you have to press F9 to bring down the chat manually everytime you enter? i know this sounds strange but i might know whats wrong...

Yes, I need to press F9 on the second pc (client), on the first (server) pc chat windows displays automatically as i enter the game. Please, write your opinion about whats wrong. Thanks.

ok ur second PC, needs its audio drivers updated, or make sure all the files in the GTAVC root\audio directory are installed. Make sure all radio, sfx, and movie sequence sounds are in there. althou ur SP will run on ur 2nd PC without audio fine, it wont in mta.

its the second PC thats not synced, ur first one seems ok,

Thanks, I'll try to fix audio and will write about results

[Guest]

Yes, it works!!! Thank you very much. I gust heve reinstalled sound drivers (they wern't installed because the secind pc hasn't speakers) + i have copied audio files (wih radio stations) to audio folder. It seems to me that this problem should be described in faq and manual, cause it could be useful for other players.

P.S. Thanks for MTA team for such mod. BTW I tried to use Gta Tournament, but it didn't work and had some annoying bugs. So, keep doing it!
