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 reporter

We 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.

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:

This is not the first time they have quit development and support but it may be the last time.

There is still MTA:SA

The video is obviously a joke but there is an unofficial clone of GTA being made for NES. GrandTheftendo.com hasn’t been updated in a long time but I still have hope.

Barrett Phillips has created a great tribute video for the city of San Andreas called “It’s Been Good.”

“As I mentioned in the previous news post, 0.2.5 will likely be the last SA-MP release. But we’re not going out without a bang. What happens when you take the 0.1 player limit, add the 0.2 player limit, multiply by 3.3 recurring then divide by 2? That’s right, you get a close approximation of 500 - which is the 0.2.5 player limit.

We have rewritten large portions of the SA-MP dedicated server and now the hard limits on players and vehicles comes down to server CPU and bandwidth.

In 0.2.5 we have taken advantage of this new server system and raised the vehicle limit to 2000 with virtually unlimited amount of vehicle models. This isn’t just some theoretical limit either, we’re working on a new script to replace lvdm which will cover all of San Andreas. The SA-MP beta team has been hard at work and have placed 2000 vehicles in these reusable lists.”

“So, today we’re releasing Developer Preview 2! As we said last week, we’re focusing on fixing bugs, so all your new feature requests aren’t in this release. That said, we’ve added a few new things to this release that you asked for - windowed mode for scripters being the most significant. We’ve also fixed about 17 bugs and made a few tweaks here and there and we’ve included some updated gamemodes and maps.”
