xzero Posted June 7, 2003 Share Posted June 7, 2003 Hello fellow murderers and gangisters.... I have a problem that i tried to search for and didnt find my answer, so here it is. Now i dont know if i do the connecting right..but so far i have seen other players playing for like 2 secs...i mean....I See the green dots moving for a couple of seconds then i get disconnected. EVERTIME i try to connect to a server, i get a successfull connection! then, I request for the game And it happens, and when i Go back INTO GTA3 (alt+tab ) I see ppl moving for 2 to 3 seconds ONLY then everything would just stop and 1 character just keeps running until he hits the wall(a known bug). Now i tried to connect to different servers....same thing...it took me about 5 connects to finally figuring out "wait a sec. wtf im getting disconnect" . i know it sounds funny but listen to this... I found out that the only way for me is to stay on windows and not go in the game, so technically others would see my character standing still while i am on windows. i found out 1 way that i can stay connected and play and guess what that way was...if u actually figured it then ur smart but im sure u guys rnt gonna figure this one out . I have to keep going in and out of the game (ALT+TABssss) so I press alt tab and go in and play for 1 sec then i press alt tab again to go to windows and to the gameserver thing and then i go back and ....and back out . and if i get out too late, i will get disconnected. the funny thing is the game server say that i am Still connected but i know that i am disconnected because of the ping . when i am on windows the ping keeps changing (WHICH MEANS that I gotta be connected to the server) when i go in and stay in the game for 5 secs and go back out I see that my ping has either frozen or stopped working or i dont know....it would just stay on a very low 1to 5/s FROZEN so for example only stays on 2.12 and not change. now isnt that funny...but its saadddddddd. i cant play online i need help plz ppl ...any suggestion on how to get the game to work i would reallllllly apreciate it so plzzzz reply with any guess and ill try it anyways (I dont have anything to lose cuz i can just install in 1 min) so anything from deleting to renaming..i will take everything and try it....Moderators PLZZZZZZZZZ help me too cuz ur the ppl that made this great mod and im sure ur the ppl that will know most of my issue. The following is what i got on my pc: Windows ME ....I know its crappy so u can laugh about that 2.4 GHz intel 512 MB DDR ram ATI Radion 9000 pro 128 mb DDR ram....(for some reasonnnnn, my game gave me an error that said "GTA3 requires at least 16 mb video card"...LOL WTF... i restarted and worked fine..i guess.) sound blaster 5.1 any other question just reply for this and i will be happy to answer for u so u guys can plzzzzzzzzzz help me, the poor man with lots of problems Link to comment

Wo33eR Posted June 7, 2003 Share Posted June 7, 2003 /me sits in awe. God hes got alot of time on his hands, i had to scroll down for ages jus to get to the end of that post. Also i had a qucik look over ur long list of writing and at the bottom i see no spec for connection... whats ur connection, if it is in the middle sumwher im sorry but i jus aint gonna sit here readin all that lmao Link to comment
xzero Posted June 7, 2003 Author Share Posted June 7, 2003 SOLUTIONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN PPLLLL SPAM SPAM SPAM...lol jk ...its just that im too happy and MTA TEAM GO ...HOLY COW!!! .3 RULZ I HAD NO LAG AT ALL....its like playing single player except doing kickass stunts with other players ...this mod is great and i dont know how u gonna make it better....U guys r asking howw the hell did i get it to work ....1 solution: FORMAT YOUR COMPUTER PPL AND INSTALL WINDOWS XP...that is the eassssssssiest way that i have found lol....I suggest ppl with windows ME that they should format that $h!ty windows and install windows xp...let me tell u why u should install windows xp...CUZ as i believe the mod was PRODUCED on windows xp so its not that hard to figure out (except for me ) that if the mod worked on the creator's computer that had windows xp it must work if i get windows xp...and that is what happend with me. Like an idiot, i had installed windows ME for some reason (im not sure i was drunk, stonned, or in my imagination), and installing windows ME is the last thing u guys wanna do...its the worst operating system out there...windows 98 is freaking better for god's sake. I dont know how u guys gonna get windows xp but if u love this game and u really wanna play it online i think it is worth it. ur gonna get the best results if u have windows xp. By the way, sorry i forgot to mention that i have Cable internet. SUMMARY FOR PPL WHO DONT WANT TO READ MY ESSAY UP THERE: I got my problem solved. it was a windows ME issue. if u got windows me get rid of it, trust me. Link to comment

Who r u talking about? ...if ur talking about me then ....Your RIght U CAUGHT ME PLZZZZZZZZZZ FORGIVEEEEEE ME AHHHHHHHH MOMMMMMMMYYYYYYYYY lol jk ...im using cable and if u happen to read me not having any lag on gta3 games then u should figure that i have cable lol haha... just try and edit the top post a bit, to make it easier to read (meaning: put in a few carraige returns ), then I'll check it out... it's too scary for me to read as is Link to comment
zavian Posted June 8, 2003 Share Posted June 8, 2003 hm i think xp is even more shit than me.... LMAO but seriously... im thinkin of installin XP or 2000 on a different hard drive... that is if they dont release a patch first... either way... what connection do you have? Link to comment
me Posted June 8, 2003 Share Posted June 8, 2003 hahahahaha! I just got that... you really shouldn't be putting yourself down like that steve03 ADSL... That was your question, right? Link to comment
Steve03 Posted June 8, 2003 Share Posted June 8, 2003 (edited) but seriously... im thinkin of installin XP or 2000 on a different hard drive... you cant install xp or any other os on another harddrive... the boot partition has always to be c:, i would use partition magic (i do) you can online install linux on other hard discs or logical partition easily...

xzero Posted June 9, 2003 Author Share Posted June 9, 2003 Geez ppl omg some of u dont like to joke....AND YES WINDOWS XP Is better than window ME....lol omg the first couple of days windows ME works fine....then...oh u dont want to know..Horrible...scary, and GAY...whoever has winodws me, i really feel sad for them im not putting no one down, its just my opinion, if u dont like it....like i care? no i dont, im just saying Link to comment
Slothman Posted June 9, 2003 Share Posted June 9, 2003 im running me on a duel boot with mandrake 9.1. i'm thinkin about going back to 98se, but i will NEVER install xp, or the new one in the works; "longhorn" it just takes too much power from the user. I have been able to play mta over a lan with no more problems than could be expected. haven't tried over the internet, cause i want to hide my 56k shame Link to comment
xzero Posted June 10, 2003 Author Share Posted June 10, 2003 lol ud be crazy if u install longhorn cuz longhorn is not even a beta yet....its not a complete operating system..ppl who download it make their own codes and stuff to make that windows work at this stage..i dont suggest u installing longhorn if u got it cuz ull go ....."HUH why cant kazaa start??? AHH Crap there goes my porn watching time" .....and about windows 98, Install it, I think it is better than any other windows, AS long as u keep it in good shape cuz if u dont its screwed. but then u gotta make sure that the win 98 patch would work on ur computer or u wont be able to play gta3 online .....anyways im not gonna write more...i already scared lots of ppl cuz i write too much Link to comment
