tjaisv Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 (edited) First off, i want to thank the developers and all who made it possible for releasing 0.2 today. Their continuing progress on MTA:VC certainly deserves a big round of applause from all of us who appreciate what they're trying to do. And now for my problem. I'm ALMOST ALWAYS unable to chat in the game. Yes i press t, and yes i can see the chat box. I can see people chatting, but nobody sees my chatting. However, i can chat just fine in the MTA client. Somebody told me it might be lag. But how could that be if my ping is low and my gameplay doesn't show any lag. It usually happens on all servers i join. Thoughts or suggestions? UPDATE: The cause was Norton Internet Security. I disabled it and now i can chat just fine. Edited September 21, 2003 by Guest Link to comment
xzero Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 well i had ur problem on some servers but my ping was like over 1000 to 20000 lol...all i can think of is lag...maybe u can try reinstalling mta? or even better the whole game...that's my guess Link to comment
Kent747 Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 hehe i have the same problem and thats why i can't currently code for MTA... are you on a large network?? because in my case the sysadmin is throttling outgoing UDP to stop the spread of virii, and stop the usage of kazaa.. (RIAA stuff). Im talking ot my sysadmin right now about getting more access so i can work harder on devel stuff.. Kent Link to comment

However, I am using Sygate Office Network, which is Internet gatweway software that lets me share my internet connection with other computers in my house. Also, I'm using Norton Internet Security (firewall software) and Norton AntiVirus. So yeah i'm suspecting one of these might be the problem. I'll disable one at a time and see if this is the case.

xzero Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 Im not sure its ur Norton firewall...cuz i got it and i still chat fine..except when the DAMN PINGS GO OVER 20 000 ...PISSES ME OFF...anyways..ahem...as i was saying i dont think its ur firewall :D Link to comment
tjaisv Posted September 21, 2003 Author Share Posted September 21, 2003 Actually, it WAS Norton Internet Security, because when i turned it off and joined the game I could chat! Link to comment
