GTA3:MTA.. eh.. I really want to play it because of the 90's looks.. such as the Banshee (awesome) etc... it is missing a LOT that vice city is missing.. which is very sad. the map is okay, i guess. didn't like the third island too much. but it would probably be the best, online if the GTA3 version DOESN'T crash, i'll play MTA on that for awhile.. but if it crashes as much as my VC version.. then i'm going to say screw it.. but GTA3 lags like hell on my computer, and it takes 30+ more seconds ontop of VC to load up

GTA1 GTA2 GTA3 (Liberty city) GTA4 (Vice City) GTA5 (?) VC is considered a new game. Also, Amazon is stupid. They put up GTA:Sin City as the name, so they could get PREORDERS. nothing more. They'll update it when the new name is announced. and if the game never sees shelves.. then.. ah, those people are screwed

... what??? you can already do this

very true.. Just have to make it known to the MTA devs that they have to fix some holes, still... a day passes, and CRC checks are already bypassed.. edited handling files are rampant..

The only thing i don't like about how we should "keep cheating quiet" (my words).. is the fact that there are LOTS of people who read that MTA (or any other program, for that matter) have cheat-protection, cheat-provention, anti-cheat, etc... they automatically assume it means 100% NO CHEATERS. So if half the server sees a guy flying a firetruck, there's always a guy that will go "There's no cheats in .3", etc. etc. It's like saying the world trade center bombing didn't happen.. everybody knows it did, but that one guy is just too stupid to know the truth.. heh.

obviously some people seem to promote cheating

Flying firetruck cheetah that goes 200mph++ .. getting really lame, now

Names should be colored according to CLASS.. custom colors should be disabled (they screw up the scoreboard, anyways.. ONE guy with a green color makes everything green voodoo in deathmatch since the hydraulics are sync'd up. To stop trainers: some sort of "MAX SPEED" detection.. find the fastest vehicle, and what its max speed is.. then use that to compare. if someone manages to EXCEED that speed limit, then they are considered cheating... i just saw someone zoom RIGHT past me, after WRECKING. he was going so fast, he appeared, and disappeared on my minimap pretty damn quick.... and no, lag wasn't involved... Stunt mode: more USABLE ramps that don't aim at a large building, and such.. those suck because if you even use them, you still hit a wall. Ramps with a way to possibly LAND would be good

Sync burnouts Sync drivebys

I seem to have been the only one who has CAUGHT ON to this.. but.. I don't have the radar problem.. BUT.. I did get it a few times.. (2 or 3) This gave me a chance to notice some really weird behavior in what VC did.. When I started VC (using START GAME) a couple of times i'd click the client again, and VC would be minimized, or VC would just be minimized, anyways.. if i click the taskbar, to make VC restore itself, it seems fine.. but i join a game, and boom. the RADAR BUG!! I've asked two other people, when they were complaining about the radar bug.. they BOTH denied that their VC was minimizing.. then they restarted, and came back.. they ACKNOWLEDGED vc WAS in fact, minimizing, for a short period of time... I don't know WHY it does this.. but some people seem to get it 100% of the time.. others, only when VC acts a bit weird.. Just to clarify, yes, my radar works in-game, unless VC somehow gets minimized at the start of the game (not sure if minimizing while in-game affects this or not)

my ideas: Sync Burnouts! Sync Drive-bys! imagine the havoc oh, and replace the bobcat with a banshee.

just make the police occasionally get a SWAT model, instead of a normal police guy

sorry then when he said "Spill all over the street" i imagined that was this way of saying "instantly appears on screen"

wrong.even the patch details (i believe) says it ISN'T to fix the problem where stuff appears slowly.. but rather something else secondly, i believe someone said it was caused by the increased load on the mta.scm file.. because it's much bigger than main.scm (or something?) it requires more processing when you start the game, and that lags the graphics a bit.. supposedly one of the newer nvidia drivers was supposed to fix the slow apeparing bug. (I readit specifically somewhere) but sadly, they do NOT fix it.

I'm sure it's possibleyou might need like a mod chip... but it would be possible to play MTA on PS2

yeah, but cops HAVE to be stronger to be able to catch up with the criminals police have weaker weapons

wtf? that's a horrible interview.. nothing was really accomplished by it.. and the hosts just kept talking and talking..

1GB? you don't realize how long 1GB takes to transfer.. even on cable

I dislike when people post scores like these on any game. If you play a game for two hours, you will most likely have the highest score. Why? Because people log off, and other log on.. . when this happends, basically a person with a score leaves, and a 0-score player logs on. After 2 hours, hardly anyone that was there 2 hours ago is still on the server. Thus, you have an insane score.

like they said above, it's really a server-only patch, and doesn't affect the client's crashes

good call, but you could probably do 0 = looking NORTH on the map -90 = left 90 = right 180 = behind or something

I would play the GTA3, definitely but only if there was 100% no crashes loading GTA3 up takes long enough. having it crash and reload it constantly would suck i don't have a problem with doing that in Vice city, however. as it loads quick

Blast

I played on a friend's server with 2.1 Well... The only times it crashed was when i died, then had to choose my character again.. after i hit "F" to choose my guy, the game would crash it didn't happen EVERYTIME, but it did happen like 3 or 4 times.

Does ANYONE have this patch installed on their server? I'm really wanting to try it out since I hate having the crashes every 15 minutes... Does it actually change the server version to 2.1, or does it still show up at 2.0 in ALL SEEING EYE? Can't find any servers with it installed. Can you guys atleast get it on the OFFICIAL servers? if any servers have it installed, please reply with the IP address of it.
