0.1 RC1 finally released

[Devin]

Multiple people are crashing on all different servers upon joining. It is not an Ingame Script or Users game issue.

[Reece]

Sorry, but I am out of town until Friday, so the server will not be updated to it until Saturday morning at the earliest.

[J0sef]

Let's hope they fix the problems until Saturday ^^

A thing that stood out to me with the new update which means Argonath server will not be on the server list anymore until we update it.

Code: [Select]

"This release ends the mark of support for IV:MP 0.1 Beta 1 and IV:MP 0.1 T3 R2. Please note that both masterlists have been already shut down and it is advised to upgrade to IV:MP 0.1 RC1."

Can somebody check the masterlist and report the status of the server, as we use t3 R1, not R2.

still working...

[Devin]

Oh well never mind that, I opened IV:MP and we are still visible with the current client we are running and displayed on the list with plenty other servers.

SugarD, please read my post again. Then read Devin's again.

There is a difference between the two

You just said to check the master list when IV:MP's announcement specifically states that it is down for that version...

[Reece]

I will point it out for you.

we use t3 R1, not R2.

"This release ends the mark of support for IV:MP 0.1 Beta 1 and IV:MP 0.1 T3 R2. Please note that both masterlists have been already shut down and it is advised to upgrade to IV:MP 0.1 RC1."

There's a difference as he specifically states R2, when a lot of servers use R1 due to issues with R2.

Although it may use the same list, but it's likely a server restart is required to knock it of the master list, so we will see.

For those experiencing crashes:

Please note that in order to play IV:MP properly you must have a original copy of GTA IV (unmodded). It is also advised to not use a modified .exe as this will reduce the stability.
These are the following things you'll need to do in order to play IV:MP properly and stable.

- Check if GTA IV Patch 1.0.7.0 is installed and GTA IV works properly
- Check if Microsoft Visual C++ 2005/2008 is properly installed (x86 on 32Bit systems or x86 and x64 on 64Bit systems)
- Check if you got the latest version of DirectX (If you are not sure just get the newest one from the official site)
- Update all your graphics card drivers (NVidia, ATI, Intel,...)
- Be sure to have the version of XLive (Games for Windows Live) installed, which was delivered with your GTA IV disc. (If you are not sure you may download the following: -http://martinkonrad.square7.ch/Desktop.rar)
- Check if all Net.Frameworks are installed (http://blogs.msdn.com/b/astebner/archive/2008/10/13/8999004.aspx)
- Run IV:MP as Administrator
- Disable UAC
- If IV:MP crashes at startup may try to use a compatibility mode and replace any spaces to your GTA IV directory with underlines (e.g. C:\GTA IV -> C:\GTA_IV)
- If nothing works you may read: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833 and get in contact with the IV:MP development team

It is stated that the RC1 includes a hash file check to make sure the player's game is unmodded. This and the above may be one of the reasons why you experience crashes.

Well, that doesn`t seem to be the reason.
Today Sebihunter announcend that they will release a hotfix for the problem as soon as possible.

Sadly unexpected problems like that often happen at a bigger release as our testing crew is not able to reproduce everything players do.
We already got tons of constructive feedback on IRC and are hoping to get more on our bugtracker by you all.

Be sure to check out the forums and page in the following days when we'll release a hotfix for the biggest problems occuring in this version.

Glad IVMP grows.
