Accident

I play on the MIX server often but I don't see many ppl blocking or complaining about blocking, and warp. is there playing as well and he's an admin so, what's the problem?... I mean after weapons were deactivated most of the blocking trolls disappeared, and playing on the mix server is much more fun now, and It's not like races on the mix server is a test of our skillz or anything, it's all random fun u know

Jesus, 16 GB is max you should get for a PC. 32-64 is only needed for servers You made a funny

Nah, 32gb is great, the longer you have the computer running the faster it gets since it keeps the stuff you've been working with in RAM. During my installation of Far Cry 3 I only had 7gb of unallocated RAM left, if I had less than 32gb there would be a lot of shuffeling of data between the SSD and RAM in situations like this. Remember that in the past people were going: "Whoa!? You have 4gb or ram!? 2gb is more than enough!"

A couple of pics taken with maximum draw distance! It's like a whole new game. (FULL ALBUM - http://imgur.com/a/JoIXI)

Ty, that worked great SDK Not possible on every server unfortunately.

So I'm considering installing a draw distance mod, maybe some texture mod (not for car textures) and any mods which simply make the game better. What are you guys using?

Built a new PC. Ivy Bridge i5-3570k 32GB Ram 250GB Samsung 840 SSD Radeon HD5770 (my old card) etc. Still getting some lag in MTA. The fps are maxed and rock solid most of the time but whenever there is a lot of smoke from multiple cars, boats or I'm flying through dense clouds I get a big drop in frames. I'm running every setting at max, I have no energy saving options enabled so the cpu is running at max all the time, can someone tell me which setting I should change to fix this?

The regurlar blockers are using an exploit in NTS mode in order to quickly get the vehicle they need in order to block. By pressing "B" you enter spectator mode, press "B" again and you exit spectator mode. How is this an exploit you might ask? Well the time limit to respawn is 0 seconds, so they are able to get their vehicles much faster than if they were to use the regurlar kill command. So my suggestion is to set a time limit on the spectator respawn, I mean, it's clearly a programming oversight...

I actually have a really easy sollution to this which would effectively end blocking and shooting and wouldn't affect gameplay for almost everyone. You would still see blocking and shooting now and then but not as often as you see it now... I'm not going to say how, I have my reasons, good reasons, but I'm working on it right now so let's how it goes.

[ Ban Request ] [ MTA-Server #2 ] [ Player =FOX=Epica ] I humbly request that you ban or punish this player. He never ever tries to actually win a NTS-race, he's just there to block and kill people. He has carefully studied the maps and knows exactly where to position himself in order to ruin the fun for the other players. And this goes on in every single race he is in, EVERY ONE! Other players do it as well now and then, but that's nothing compared to this guy. I have included some screen shots.

Time for another round of NTS! OH YEAHHHHHH!!

So I was racing along and got into a dinghy, but the boat wouldn't turn as hard as I would have liked. In my experience you can apply the handbreak in order to make sharp turns with boats but that didn't seem to work anymore. Has anyone else experienced this since the upgrade?

Hmmmm... like others have said, I would also like to have the "death-list" back. That list kind of tells you what to expect in front of you and behind you. I feel kind of lost without it.

Theoretically, using the best tech available (like an ISP with the best & latest servers, switches etc.), what kind of a ping "can" you get if you're on one side of the planet and want to connect to a server on the other side?

How curious that it only toggles when I enter Mr.Green though.... If I enter SKC etc. none of this...

Bin? Bin... BIN! You did this didn't you!? Why when I get a hold of you I'm gonna... ehm, don't do anything. But nigger please, seriously, I smoke, but I don't show ciggies down your troat and force you to smoke right? So don't force this shit down our troat ok? Everyone doesnt have wide 16/9 monitors or fast computers. It takes fps and visibility from us with 4:3 & 5:4 monitors and slower comps. So nigger pls, show us the respect other servers automatically give us and shut this shit off...

Nice to know that I'm not alone. It sucks for me, I get even lower fps when it's on and it clutters up the screen, hell, I want to be able to see where I'm driving

So what is up with this race indicator race progress being on when you enter the server? Bloody annoying if you ask me. If I want that thing on I'll hit F7. Is it just me or does it happen to you guys as well?

Don't make us laugh, you may be a capable racer Bin, but on your way to the first posistion, don't be surprised if u have an "accident" waiting for ya Jokes aside, I think that ghost mode enables a lot of noobs getting into a position where they aren't supposed to be. In the old days I used to take pride in getting out of the initial clusterfuck and joining the top racers at the top positions at the first ten seconds of the race, leaving the noobs behind.

You're right Csena, It's actually impossible to remove GM by now....

Remove ghostmode completely. In the old mod there was no ghostmode but we always managed.

Are you sure that is it? I'm using a Radeon HD5770 and my frames also drop when there are many players on screen at the same time. I think it's a CPU issue, I'm using an old Athlon 4400 x2 in my system and it seems that the bottleneck lies there.
