Hardware serial bans have been suggested for at least a year now. I bet it never happens. There are alternatives though...

What is the domain that you're trying to connect to? irc.sa-mp.com is dead. Use irc.focogaming.com or irc.gamerxserver.com instead.

It should be fine, especially for only two bots. GamerX uses FoCoHub for their echo, and they have twenty bots. PartyServer has six. I think you'll be okay.

Hal said it. Get a free domain name from companies like No-IP or DynDNS that redirects to whatever your current IP address is. Purchase a static IP from your ISP. Or just leave your DSL modem on so...

My guess is that it's your hard drive. You might want to run a disk check for errors.

I can't understand, like, the last three posts. irc.sa-mp.com is dead. SA-MP IRC is no longer on GTANet or FFSNetwork. Like Dugi said, you can reach the unofficial #sa-mp channel on FoCoHub IRC at ir...

The only ranges that I know of for Hotspot Shield are 74.115.*.* and 199.255.*.*. I do not know if there are others. PartyServer bans Hotspot Shield by its ISP, not IP ranges. You should be able to j...

Go to your in-game settings and turn the Music volume all the way down. It won't turn on anymore.

Just block the hostmasks or ISPs. PartyServer has had Hotspot Shield blocked for months.

I still miss the 0.2 chatbox.

Duh. Many people leave their frame limiter on because having it off causes glitches. If you can get more than 25FPS, then you might as well set it to 100. All the whole process does is prevent those g...

The usual. Close and shut down as many backgrounds processes as you can. Turn down in-game display settings, such as your resolution, draw distance, graphics quality, etc. Upgrade hardware if possibl...

lol @ the pun. I don't think you can on this forum. I don't know whether it's a glitch or just the way that it's been set up, but I guess you can't change the title in the thread list. You can only c...

Please stop bumping within like an hour or two of having already posted. It's just annoying and unnecessary. Do what Garsino said to do, but place a space after ipconfig. - ipconfig /flushdns If tha...

I agree that it needs to be fixed, but just because you and your friends have never experienced it, it doesn't mean that it doesn't still exist. Here's to hoping that it doesn't, but I have a feeling ...

Moddler, did you not read Ray's post? Certain setting combinations cause conflicts with those who use more than one core. It makes the game to run at insanely rapid speeds. Even I've seen this. It can...

ALT + TAB does not close SA-MP. It minimizes it and switches to another window. There are modifications to play in windowed mode. You can try this one if you want.

Disable the DMZ option. You do not need it. It's only useful to small businesses or people with personal, physical, separate servers. Trust me, you don't need it. If everything works fine with it off,...
