Thanks for sharing! One of the following updates will contain the long awaited CTA, however, it will take a while. Stay tuned.

[Snake[PL]]

I got problem... When I want to join I need update mta, but I have newest... Yesterday works correctly...

Other servers works ok.

Yeah i got this problem too and i have the newest version of MTA 

[Snake[PL]]

So it's problem from server side.

[Einheit-101]

Nope you havent, the latest nightly is 9.11201 and my server supports  9.11199 upwards. 
The issue was actually the MTA Auto Updater, which was stuck on  9.11196 until a few hours ago, and didnt update to 199. It should be fine by now, i got my 11201 auto update just now.

[Investor]

I can confirm its a problem with MTA auto updater. I had to download the newest nightly MTA version from https://nightly.multitheftauto.com/ couple days ago and then it worked all good.

Hello Bunny, well I will talk to him, however it seems like I need to remove the ability to ban players for him, since he abused it earlier in the past already and I understand his reasons are nonsense.

[Syntrax#]

Paid a visit today and defintly enjoyed the gameplay, however the low player rate is one thing that is causing it to not fully enjoy the gamemode itself but overall i woul recommend this server for someone who loves TDM

[Einheit-101]

Thanks Syntrax. The next update coming in June (hopefully) should improve the server significantly and increase the player count a bit, that was always an issue.

Btw I forgot to mention:

You all pls keep reporting stupid bans and bugs. Thx^^

[GruForever]

Dear Einheit-101. We have been waiting for your big update for a long time, but I believe that we are waiting too long. The online server for these long 2 months of expectations has declined. Sometimes it will jump, but run a map like Forest, Jungle, or Islands. On these maps, the online falls dramatically. I want to see the update sooner and hope that you will remove these 3 cards. Also I want to report some errors. The first is a field tools shop on the Diablo map. It just does not open. The second is a magazine of shells for anti-tank self-guards. When you call on him, you see bombs in him instead of armor-piercing shells. It is impossible to make up for the ammunition.
I hope soon we will be able to enjoy your TNBT and we will not see any more of these errors.

[Einheit-101]

You actually have to understand that this server is created by one single person (me) in my spare time and this large update featuring some hundred lines of code and dozens of fixes and features takes naturally it's time. 

Also I do not plan to remove any map, we have a votemanager where players actively choose maps, they don't get forced. So if really no one liked these maps, no one would vote for them, which is false.

The update should be done this month, in a few weeks if you are lucky. If not - too bad. My time is limited. And 2 months between updates is not much time for a free to play server tbh, when I think back to the DKR Freeroam that got 1 very small update in a couple of months.
