  1. As SAES commemorates two decades of gaming on Multi Theft Auto, now is the opportune moment to join the celebration. Whether you're a seasoned veteran or a newcomer eager to explore the vibrant world of MTA, SAES welcomes you.

    When SAES started (then as VCES), we began as a gang on a modest 32-player server (which was the server limit back in 2003). We hosted weekly gang wars with other gangs/servers and organized various MTA-wide competitions/events. However, we never envisioned that our humble gang would evolve into a gaming community, let alone one that has operated for so long!

    For all the players, past and present, who have helped shape the community, we sincerely thank you! Your contributions, be it through gameplay, creativity, or camaraderie, have been the foundation of SAES's enduring legacy. An extra special thanks goes to all those who have generously donated over the years. Your support has allowed our community to thrive, providing players with a place to call home, where friendships are forged, and rivalries are born.

    As we reflect on these two decades, it's great to see how members have not only grown within the virtual world of SAES but have also grown up in our community. We've witnessed friendships blossom, skills sharpen (apart from mine 😂), and lives intertwine. To our dedicated members, both past and present, you are the heartbeat of SAES, and we're grateful to have shared this incredible journey with you.

    I will be hosting a birthday event night on November 25, 2023, at 19:00 GMT/Server Time, featuring events with in-game prizes and rewards for all those who wish to join. We hope you can make it!

    Here's to another 20 years of virtual adventures, friendships, and memories!

  2. A small number of you are unable to join the server and are getting timed out. (mainly from Turkey).

    OVH have been contacted and they've stated that no blocks are in place on their end.

    If you were blocked by the server or our host (OVH), then you wouldn't be able to access our website, which is on the same server, just a different IP.

    Our configuration is unchanged apart from the new IP address.

    As you can see from last night's statistics, it's only affecting a small number of you.

    It's possible the new IP we have been assigned (we don't get a say with what IP we are assigned) has previously been used as part of a botnet from OVH and that may be why your ISP has it blocked.

    You will need to contact your ISP (internet service provider) and ask them if they can remove this for you.

    We've had an IP engineer look at this with a Turkish player who is suffering from this issue, the connection is being dropped by the ISP and he has confirmed that it's no block on our or OVH's part.

    If you are affected by this and cannot wait for an answer from your ISP, then we can only advise the use of a VPN to join the server at this time.

  3. Our MTA server will go down tomorrow (10th October 2023) at 8:30am UK/Server time as we migrate it to the new server.

    It will be down for about an hour, but may take a few, if we run into any difficulties.

    The IP address to the server will change, however, we will put a redirect in place on the old IP to forward people to the new IP.

    The new IP will be given out once the move is complete.

  4. Hi All,

    Over the weekend, I purchased a brand-new dedicated server with upgraded specifications from our current host.

    The new server has a better CPU, RAM and storage is actually SSD (Yes... our current dedicated server is so old it's still on HDDs).

    I've also taken the initiative to move the server back to France as most of our players do not originate from the UK, therefore the majority of you should get better pings.

    Unfortunately, this comes with a few negatives.

    1. I will need to take the MTA server down to complete the move, this should take about an hour at most.
    2. As we have moved the server to another country, we will have to use a brand new IP address.

    I will be keeping people apprised of the move, dates and times of when things are happening, and giving up-to-date statuses on Discord via the announcement channel, so please keep an eye on it.

    I would like to thank all past and present donors who keep our community running and making things like this possible as we approach our 20th birthday!

  5. CLO and DE are excited to announce our upcoming community event happening this Saturday, September 2nd, at 19:30 (server time). This event is all about camaraderie and collaboration, as we bring you a thrilling CLO/DE war that promises to be action-packed and engaging.

    Event Details:

    Date: Saturday, September 2nd Time: 19:30 (server time)

    Event Concept:

    Join us for an epic showdown as the CLO and DE factions clash in an unforgettable battle! But this isn't just any war – it's a chance for the entire community to get involved. Here's the scoop: Crims will rally behind the CLO, while the cops will unite in support of DE. And keep an eye out for active criminals who have pledged their allegiance to DE through MCC – they'll be lending a hand too!

    What to Expect:

    Prepare for a multi-dimensional combat experience that covers the skies, seas, and ground. However, as much as we're excited about the action, we also believe in fair play and respectful engagement.

    Event Rules:

    • No spawn-killing allowed.
    • No spawn camping – let's keep it clean.
    • No arresting.
    • No ship bombing.

    Remember the spirit of the event – help either CLO or DE, avoid random chaos.

    Event Guidelines:

    While there aren't any prizes or specific goals in mind, this event is all about fostering interactions between CLO/DE and the wider community. Helpers, feel free to use your squad or gang spawns. Just remember that arresting is off the table this time.

    A Few Things to Note:

    Ship bombing is strictly prohibited – let's keep the maritime activities fun and fair. We've worked hard to ensure this event will be a highlight on the server, boosting activity and creating memories. Your presence and engagement matter as we build bridges between groups and players. We'll see you on Saturday, September 2nd, at 19:30! Let's make this event a roaring success within the community.

  6. As per @Tut

    This would break our corona limit and we would have artifacts as corona shadows don't update which surface they're projecting onto very fast so when you're slightly on one side of your vehicle (on 2 wheels) or slightly in the air after jumping a curb, the neon would disappear.

    There's an MTA function possibly coming soon that lets us spawn corona shadows without creating corona lights, which I think won't count towards the limit, but we would have to ask.

    We can then use shaders to create a better-looking neon.

  7. This just sounds like pay to win.

    I personally think the current donator spawn is not rlly worth it tbh with you, Im especially not a fan of the skin of it whatsoever but that's just my opinion, Pls let me know yours.

    The spawn like everything else given via donations is a thank you, you are donating to keep the community running and not paying for a service, but I'm open to other suggestions for the spawn such as skin suggestions or other improvements.
