This is yet another multiplayer mod for the PC version of GTA: San Andreas. It is currently in development.
It’s been a while since we really provided a “real” progress update, so we’re taking the opportunity to tell everyone about what’s been happening under the hood.
The last public beta proved to be very useful, and this has resulted in many new changes and fixes.
As always, a number of crashes have been fixed which should make DM feel more stable. Vehicle interpolation has been tweaked which should make it more efficient, resulting in an increase in FPS. There have also been other changes to areas such as the streamer, which also impact the overall FPS positively. We’re hoping that issues of FPS should be reduced for the next public beta.
Occurrences of “sliding” (a form of desync) have also been further reduced, which should also be evident in the next test. One very notable fix worth mentioning is that players can finally shoot players who are inside vehicles. This is something that was supposed to make DP1 but was removed at the last minute. This has finally made it and is worth testing for the next public beta.
This time around we’ve been talking with Kye, leader of the multiplayer modification for Grand Theft Auto San Andreas, SA-MP.

MVC have posted an interview with Sam Houser, the co-founder and Executive Producer on the GTA games.

Houser says that surviving in an environment in which large numbers of powerful people want to put you out of business for their own political or economic capital has been the biggest challenge of his career.

A small update for Multi Theft Auto: Deathmatch DP2 has been released that incorporates a new server browser provided by game-monitor.com and some minor tweaks to the account system and the installer. This upgrade has no other changes from DP2 except for these fixes. We strongly recommend all Deathmatch players download this update to restore the server browser to working order.
Following the recent imminent shutdown of the All-Seeing Eye server browser, and the ongoing popularity of the Multi Theft Auto: San Andreas Race, we have decided to release an update to allow its players to continue playing, although we strongly recommend anyone to upgrade to the more recent Deathmatch releases due to their significantly extended functionality and active development.
The new release with version number v1.1.2 can be downloaded via the Race download page and contains the following notable changes:
* All-Seeing Eye server-browser has been removed in favour of a more reliable and faster replacement
* Removed redundant “MTA Center” references
* Removed support for built-in error reporterWe encourage people to provide us with any feedback or problems with the update (e.g. through our IRC channel).
The upcoming Developer Preview 3 release of Deathmatch will also include the server browser replacement among some other features and fixes and will be released shortly after.
Update: If you’re having errors about missing d3dx9_33.dll, download it from here and extract it to your GTA directory. Alternatively, download the latest DirectX updates by using this installer.
Active development of this project has ceased as of 11th May 2008, apart from any service or security updates.
The master list services have been taken over by littlewhitey of GTA-Host and this service has now been restored.

As you may know, all our Multi Theft Auto versions up until now have relied on UDPSoft’s All-Seeing Eye system to list game servers you can play on. UDPSoft were bought out by Yahoo! back in September 2004.
Today, the acquisition by Yahoo! has resulted in the unfortunate shutdown of the entire All-Seeing Eye network. As a result, the server browser functionality in all released Multi Theft Auto versions will no longer work.
We are currently working with Game-Monitor.com, a server listing website affiliated with Multi Theft Auto to integrate a new server browsing system. This will be incorporated into the next version of Multi Theft Auto: San Andreas which we will be releasing as soon as possible.
In the meantime, we would strongly recommend you to use the following link that lists the current servers queried by Game-Monitor.com:
