MultitheftAutoUpdate & MTAIV.com

The GTA:MTA team have posted an update on their blog to let us know what they have been up to since version 2.3 of their multiplayer mod which was released a little over 2 months ago.

They talk about the changes which focus on scripting tweaks to improve performance and stability both from a client and server-side point-of-view. No mention of when the next version will be released but they did announce that they have purchased mtaiv.com. It will be interesting to see what the talented MTA team can bring to the playing field with GTAIV already featuring multiplayer!

Multi Theft Auto developer preview 2.3 released

The following has just been posted over at the MultiTheftAuto homepage. It is a high priority update, and must be installed rather than v2.2, which was released just 2 days ago.

An immediate, high priority error that occured for first-time users trying to install the previous release has forced us to make another update to the Multi Theft Auto: San Andreas Deathmatch game client.

To sum it up, if you were experiencing any serial number (or user account) problems or received any "Mod not found" in-game messages, we strongly recommend you to download this new release which contains fixes for these problems.

Serial support has been temporarily dropped due to reasons stated below, and may be replaced by a new system in the next major release (v1.0-dp3). In the mean time, this release should make sure that anyone who wishes to play can play. Do not be alarmed by the "dp2.1" version notation in-game: the actual game logic has not been changed, as only the necessary parts were patched to solve the above issues.

You can download the file form our downloads section.

Multi Theft Auto developer preview 2.2 released

The Multi Theft Auto: San Andreas team have released a client update, which irons out several issues, especially those regarding serial numbers.

Version 2.2 was released exclusively to fix these problems and does not contain any major enhancements that are scheduled for release in version 3.0, mainly due to stability.

You can download the latest version of Multi Theft Auto: San Andreas from the downloads section.
