The last week has seen an increasing number of show-stopper bugs fixed, and a strong focus on tidying up the mod to make it ready for beta.

Thanks to everyone who added comments to the last news posting.  The general consensus seems to be that you just want to be kept more informed on the status of the mod, and for us to elaborate on what the changes on the change log actually mean.  Going forward, the MTA / QA Team will attempt to provide a weekly update on the current progress, but if we miss a week or two don't kill us!

The largest change since the last update was a fix to akimbo weapons, which has plagued MTA:SA DM since the early days.  The bug often resulted in remote players shooting upward on your screen while running, where on the local players screen they were shooting directly at you.  As you can imagine, this caused a large amount of grief during battles as the shots were not being registered properly on remote machines, therefore causing the remote players to not be shot (causing desync.).

A few vehicle changes were made which resulted in fixes when warping players into vehicles when the vehicle has been streamed out (no longer in your current view).  Some vehicle jacking bugs were also squashed, which resulted in desync. fixes.  A long-standing issue was also fixed with the toggle enter/exit vehicle control, which sometimes resulted in the inability to enter or exit a vehicle.

GUI functions were reworked a bit to make their usage a little more straight-forward, and also tidy them up properly when a resource ends.

Outside of that, a lot of little changes were made and a ton of internal bug reports were resolved.

Picture / Video Requests: I do not plan on putting any pictures or videos in my news posts.  For pictures navigate to the POTD section where you can find pictures posted by the QA Team.

GTA IV Release: MTA:SA DM will be released before GTA IV, so I hope we can put an end to all of those comments.
