eAi Posted September 17, 2004 Posted September 17, 2004 In an effort to make the next release of MTA 0.4 (not the new core) as stable as possible, we've just released a new tool which reports information about MTA's crashes to us so that we can fix them. You can download the tool at http://www.opencoding.net/ereport/MTA-ERT-13.zip (194KB). Installation is very easy, just open the zip file and choose the relevant installer (GTA3 and/or Vice City) and you're done. When an error occurs, you'll get a new dialog that may as you to fill out an error report to tell us what was happening. This is, of course, optional. Thanks for downloading the tool, and helping solve the crashes! If you have any problems with the tool, use the comments area to tell us. Also see the discussion thread on this topic at viewtopic.php?t=9703
Luigi Posted September 17, 2004 Posted September 17, 2004 I hope you can fix as many crashes as possible
Trust Posted September 17, 2004 Posted September 17, 2004 Antoher step towards a crash-free MTA Good idea team, I hope it helps. I will write as much reports as possible.
Ransom Posted September 18, 2004 Posted September 18, 2004 hmm great idea, i thought something like this was needed a long time. Then you can find 99.9% of the errors that occur.
eAi Posted September 18, 2004 Author Posted September 18, 2004 356 error reports so far (88% Vice City), 24.79% are from a single error (vehicle related). Only 15.49% of reports had user's "notes" attached to them (bad). 85% of you used VC 1.0. 5.6% are running Windows XP (No service packs), 49% are running Windows XP SP1, 29.3% are running Windows XP SP2, 13.24% are running Windows 2000 SP4 and 2 of you are running Windows 98 SE (strangely). Keep it up! eAi
Posty Posted September 18, 2004 Posted September 18, 2004 eAi, for some reason, after i installed this, VC or GTA3 wouldnt run. WTF? It wouldnt run SP or MTA.
orappa Posted September 18, 2004 Posted September 18, 2004 Well, after seeing those stats, eAi, I decided to play a bit of GTA3 to even up the ratio somewhat. It crashed once and I submitted comments as per usual, no problems there. The next time it crashed, it just froze and there was nothing I could do about it. Is there a way for the utility to detect freezes? Or if not, perhaps a button that you can click manually to get the info and then submit a report manually?
darkdreamingdan Posted September 18, 2004 Posted September 18, 2004 yeh there has always been a strange crash for me in gta3mta. it kinda freezes and doesnt give an error or anything. i have to alt-tab, and it wont close without the task manager. i usually have to keep the task manager out while playing gta3mta
eAi Posted September 18, 2004 Author Posted September 18, 2004 I don't think we can detect those freezes... eAi
Posty Posted September 19, 2004 Posted September 19, 2004 Did removing it fix it?eAi What do I have to do to remove it again?
Posty Posted September 19, 2004 Posted September 19, 2004 delete MTAErrorReport.asi from ure vc folder No luck, it still won't run. It shows the hour glass, and nothing happens..... WTF.
Gamefreek Posted September 19, 2004 Posted September 19, 2004 The Error report tool use to work like the first couple times. Now i get this when i crash Anyway to fix it? (besides reinstalling, i tried it and it didnt work)
Posty Posted September 19, 2004 Posted September 19, 2004 Oli, then why is it that after I installed it, both GTA3 and VC stopped working.... But, what's weird is. My killer kip gta3 install isnt running either. I don't know why it won't run.
eAi Posted September 19, 2004 Author Posted September 19, 2004 GF: I screwed up the server then noticed about an hour later (no reports came in), its fixed now. Oli, then why is it that after I installed it, both GTA3 and VC stopped working.... But, what's weird is. My killer kip gta3 install isnt running either. I don't know why it won't run.Have you tried deleting your .set file in your saved games folder?eAi
Lara C. Posted September 19, 2004 Posted September 19, 2004 i submitted 20 or so i had in the last 1 or 2 hours...just to let you know
orappa Posted September 19, 2004 Posted September 19, 2004 I don't think we can detect those freezes...eAi That's a pity. The freezes are worse than the crashes in my opinion, but at least they're rarer than crashes.

Mike Posted September 19, 2004 Posted September 19, 2004 hehe you have a rankings list... The freezes are worse than the crashes in my opinion, but at least they're rarer than crashes. I agree they're worse, but they aren't rarer for me unfortunately
