  1. gangsta-rap shite ? Ugh.....ok...... Certainly ONE reason not to buy this game. If i want drug-dealing gangsta rap shite i either turn on MTV or visit Chicago's southside where i have that BS (shootings etc.) going on in real life. Also...i can see that many black people will not be happy to see how they're depicted in that game - at least from what saw in the trailer. Stereotypes galore.... I hope at least the game play is HALFWAY cool...
  2. are we talking about mousewheel/weapon select 'lag' or the crashes ? (robber spawn crashes...) I am quite sure i am not the only one because i constantly hear people saying the same (announcing their crashes in chat)...VERY often btw. it happens that a bunch of people crash at the same time. I had *relatively* few crashes in 0.3 ( RELATIVELY)..if yu think that it is a mod, a beta, and was originally not even supported...its free...etc....i could live with that (crashes once in a while). But now its just too much.
  3. i agree...dont think that all i do is spawn wars...i have a good time with what you describe as well as the occasional SW 'til it gets boring
  4. my pc is fine, i also use perfectdisk to defrag...its not my computer, i am positive. I just come back from another dozen or so crashes at robber spawn....please tell me others dont have this problem... its at a point where the robber is almost unplayable.... its ESPECIALLY annoying in spawn wars because of the high frequency of kills/game restarts involved....since "some" people obviously dont care about spawn wars maybe this issue doesnt bother them ? For me its extremely annoying...
  5. yeah lol...when *i* got a stubby too i have to get close to kill But we have a misunderstanding here !!!!!!!!! I did not talk about the common "one person shoots you with stubby and you die" - but instead of the fact that you see someone shooting at you (you do NOT die with the first shot !) - but even if you see you're just getting shot you can not to *anything*...no jumps, no run away, no shooting back. Because you dont have enough time 'til you get the NEXT shot - you can TRY to run jump, shoot back....but it all fails because these actions take longer than it takes for the next shot (which kills you). Can you follow me ? Now its even worse with the slower weapon animation btw.. Thats why i said its ofte only a matter 'who gets shot first' (and not real fighting skills). I was not talking about the "one shot kill lucky shots".
  6. I beg to differ... Those who spawn war kill anything that moves through the area. wrong..you can have a spawn war (dont mistake for spawn KILLING)...can very well team up...nothing speaks against it. Like ULK vs. KFC etc whatever Spawn wars are nice, fast, quick fun....if people dont ike it..ok...everyone his own opinion
  7. >>> Sounds to me like your still playing 0.3, 0.4 weapons seem to perform fine aim wise. Not sure why you suffer 'mousewheel lag', or even what you mean by that to be honest. >>> of course i am playing 0.41. I think you should know that the m60 is kinda worthless in close fight....m60 vs. stubby when the other guy is only a foot away...m60 loses Mousewheel lag...right now i have an AMD 1900 with a Radeon9800 Pro which should be sufficient for *that* game...my inet is excellent (pings often under 30, usually best ping on server). I have general game slow-downs (probably because the additional weather/fog etc...)...and this very annoying 'lag' when i switch my mousewheel to another weapon. (happens mostly while in fights in when there's stuff going on like explosions and other action...i am bare handed and want to switch to a weapon..and i switch....and nothing happens for some fractions of a second.....) Otherwise its FINE...but as said especially in fights when it happens its very bad and usually means i am dead I did not have that issue in 0.3...and the other 'slow downs' (which might be related)..but i am still surprised because my computer should be fine speed wise.
  8. its useless to debate whether spawn wars are good or not...i think its a matter of preference. (Not sure if it was Mr Bump yesterday on one of the servers and i gave some comments regarding this) Face it...MTA is a VERY fast paced game....one reason is that a character dies very quickly (one shot with stuby or two)...and *usually* powerups are sparse or far away. Many, many times it does only take seconds or a minute 'til you die. In comparison then the crashes, log-in and driving somewhere takes LONG. So.what makes more sense than a spawn war where everything goes much quicker, saves you the time to go somewhere etc. It would be a different story if our health would be that we can sustain dozens of shots and many more power-ups...this would basically make the average 'life time' much longer....but as said this is not the case. AND...GTA is intersting and cool especially because of the fact that you have a certain flexibility to chose what you want...eg. you can have slow game play if you wanna get it on slow and adjust your fighting tactics accordingly - OR you can have super fast game play if you chose for having a spawn war for an amount of time. Beside..i think fast spawn wars are very good for training your direct shooting skills, eg. shot-timings which are so essential in this game. You cant really train that if you need 10 mins to go somewhere...get kilde with ONE (!) shot....then have to re-login/re-start the whole game and then go to the same location just t 'continue' the fight....its a total pain in the ***. I do agree however that there should be spawn killing protection (because it is another annoying thing and just shouldnt be possible)...and (as mentioned above)..they really (in my opinion) should tweak the timings/animations so people have at least a chance to REACT once they see they get shot at instead of totally being unable to react no matter what they try to do. Big, big 'concern' is the total unreliability of weapons (m60 in close fight, LOL or sometimes just plain random whether you actually hit someone or not)..its more a lottery game than really having anythingto do with 'skills' whatsoever....
  9. most of the times playing 0.41 i really get in a very BAD mood Not only that i have crashes at the most inconvenient times...crashes MUCH more than i ever had with 0.3.... ALso....the mousewheel-lag sisue is extremely annoying. If you're in a fight the game slows down...and i need to be quick using my scroll wheel..and NOTHING happens for about a second. ---> DEAD (of course we didnt have that in 0.3 either) I could get over these things (maybe my AMD 1900 is already too SLOW ?? My inet is fine my pings are great..why is everything so slow anf laggy all of a sudden...its crucial in a game where seconds count...) WHAT ANNOYS me most, ok, this is GTA related and i dont think the MTA coders can do anything about it.. Together with the lagy feeling and the added "weapn re-load delay" (OH how loooooooove it)...means: You are standing and see someone shooting. YOU KNOW you are dead...because once you are hit you cant do anything. Yo cant RUN, you cant JUMP, you cant SHOOT back..because the game is unresponsive...and fights are in essence only a matter of "who shoots you first"....it does not make much sense that i cant move, jump or do anything the moment i see someone shooting at me to avoid getting killed...its like i am handicapped..... together with the many crashes and the mouse-scroll (weapon select) lag i get really, really annoyed lately.. And.....btw. all this 'new' cars just plain SUCK....sorry to be so honest...what about all that junk cars on the airport ? I need long enough to go somewhere alerady if spawn as mexican...and now i have to use these rusty JUNK which adds another minute or so to get to the action. if you add new cars..why only these junk cars ..i dont understand it... Oh..yeah i am in a bad mood and go to bed now.... SIGH
  10. yes thats what i usually do...but i do not necesseraly share your opinion in regards to spawn wars...sometimes they can be fun (Which brings in another question..what about an option to select spawn points ? [on server side] I cant help but i miss the old robber house..and there should be an option to maybe specify spawns..that would be very nice
  11. i got really annoyed yesterday because 6 or 7 times out of 10 when i re-spawn as robber after i got killed....i crash shortly (1 sec or so) after the game starts... i didnt see crashes spawning as mexican - but then i did NOT play extensively yet on the new 0.4.1. Anyone have the same problem ? Using 04.1 on XP Pro Addendum: i also have issues with my scroll-wheel selectig weapons....sometimes the whole game seems much less 'responsive' than the lder 0.3...and everything involves a little lag....eg. selecting a new weapon with the scroll wheel. My computer is not THAT slow....i just wish everything would be a bit snappier

    MTA 0.4.1 Released

    MTA 0.4.1 Released

    i am so glad. I played on the old version eysterday and had approx. 900 crashes or so and a lot of 'lag'. But i cant try the new version tonite since we're going somwhere over the weekend. Nice job and i hope 4.1 works better
  14. i had the wrong version (1.0) in the client. everything's fine...yay delete the post if you want cya
  15. nice, it does not work. I installed 0.4 and set it to my gtavc folder (the same folder which runs with 0.3 fine)....after loading shortly thereafter it freezes with a unhandled exception. I dont even get to the character selection. :( i have XP Pro and otherwise everything's fine with m computer

    where are these attacks coming from ? I always think that it might be developers of another VC multiplayer client who are jealous....or people who got banned etc. for cheating....morons
  18. hi, i was away fro a while and it looks like that the official server #1 is gone, it's not coming up in ASE anymore ? What's going on ? Just out of curiosity...
  19. Ever since i play GTA or MTA i NEVER came along any comments/instructions that *not* using the limiter is considered a 'cheat'. Then please tell the others, who *DO* use the limiter that they're having a disadvantage and better turn it OFF - but refrain from accusing the other people of cheating. We have enough real *cheaters* around. When i was still on dial-up i often got comments like get a freaking broadband connection for fair play...and from that point of view i'd also rather tell people with a slow computer "get a better/up-to date computer' or turn FPS OFF instead of accusing the others of cheating.... (shakes head...)
  20. hi, i am off to the real FL for two weeks.....yay /me plays mucho mambo and puts her M60 in the trunk....LOL
  21. hi, i always read references to the MTA/GTA3...how many are actually playing that ? I dont even own it...am i right that more peope play VC than GTA3 ? Btw. i get broadband on May, 5th..yay
  22. ok, 'bad' news: i started work again (i was off for some time) which means no more long GTA:VC sessions late at night for me (at least under the week) Good news: I just ordered comcast cable and might have it in maybe 7 to 10 days...no more LAG nightmares anymore. So sickof these ping times. (I have/had the crappiest dialup EVER....and i cannot wait to get rid of that ^%%$!@ dial-up i was tortured with.....i couldnt get broadband for a long, long time because it was just not available in my area and i was too far away for dsl. Wonder what pings i will get...
  23. * how much will be synced in 0.4 compared to 0.3 ? What will be synced in 0.4 that was not in 0.3 ? Just out of curiosity * what priority will cheat detection have in 0.4...and how good will it work ? What will be done to prevent cheaters and trainers ? What about banning and kicks ? (With the usual concerns there....) greets
  24. there's nothing more satisfying than shooting rounds with the m60 at a heli....chopper catches fire and guy jumps out....and then give 'em the rest
