I have this problem too. Even tried copying my friend's GTA3 completely. So we both run the same GTA3, we both have P4-2ghz w/ 512mb ram. Pretty sure his network settings are different somehow though. When he hosts a game, and I attempt to join, his GTA3MTA crashes! Not sure what error message shows up though, but will find out as soon as possible. So, for all of you that have GTA3MTA working, could you tell me what kind of network settings are required. or if the makers could tell me what GTA3MTA uses for LAN games, that might be of some use to me! Thanks in advance you lot, and once I get this baby working, you guys will definitely hit my "YOU GUYS ROCK" list! ** EDIT START ** I got GTA3MTA working! Sweet as eh? My friend had directx 8.1 installed & I had 9. Not sure that was the prob but could've been. Other thing it, all other times one of us was driving whilst the other pressed ALT-F12 (well, I believe this was the case anyway). My friend still can't start the server though, hope one of you can help me with that one!
