Snowman Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 I've been playing MTA for quite a while now and usually the bugs havn't bothered me that much. Let's face it, its still in Beta and the fact we've got GTA online; i don't think there's much to complain about. However, there is one glitch in which I was wondering if there was a fix. The common radar glitch, where almost all of the player blips are yellow except for a couple purple ones. I know this has been addressed before, and was also common with the earlier versions. However i'm still experiencing it in 0.4.1. I know some people who experience the same, and others have it working. I'm sorry if this has been addressed before, however I was wondering if there's a trick to fix this? Not that it bothers me too much, the game works fine for me except for the occational crash (which is normal). Thanks in advance. Again i'm sorry if this has been spoken about before. Link to comment
NosGoth Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 It's because you play 1.1 I don't know why it turns them into yellow blips it just happens. Link to comment

Scorp Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 Ohh. I guess I can't degrade Vice City. Ah well. Cheers mate. actually u can degrade it to vers 1.0 agen just insert your VC install disc and browse for the gta-vc.exe, and put in the VC root dir, replace it with the 1.1 exe... Voila u now got vers 1.0 agen. Link to comment
DeathB Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 wrong i play 1.0, and i get yellow dots all the time until someone respawns Link to comment
Si|ent Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 That is because that information is only sent to you when the other players actor is created, usually by spawning. Although getting into a vehicle as a passenger and exiting it has the same effect. However I think snowman is explaining that the yellow blips usually stay for him throughout. If that is the case then retrograding to 1.0 is worth a try. Link to comment
Gunny Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 /me has the same problem Link to comment
trx Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 The problem occurs in both versions. When you've quit GTA or when you crashed then re-enter the game, most players will appear with a yellow marker and some default skin. This was due to the way the client was setup; not to transmit data that hasn't changed. However, this particular issue has now been adressed and shouldn't happen in next version. Link to comment
