Boats are still being worked on but are still buggy. One of the bugs is they like to vanish when somebody enters them, this happens with vehicles too but its not as common (Boats tend to vanish once every 4 tries, vehicles do it rarely). Unfortunately due to them being invisible, they like to crash any players nearby when the player exits the boat so it needs fixing before we re-enable them.

Ah I completely understand, I've experienced this anomaly with cars about 5 times in several weeks where they will appear on the radar but I can't see them, and if I attempt to go up to the invisible car (based on their position on the radar) it does indeed crash me.

I don't see how boats could ever be properly synced. The water goes up and down with waves, right? Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that water movement client sided?

You'd have to make the vehicles movement on the water stay client sided wouldn't you? Only track movement of the vehicle by the player when they drive it?

A lot of buildings in the map look awfully good considering there are cars burned in the street and everyone is gunning each other.

Doesn't look as thorough as I would have thought, which is strange considering it looks like quite a lot of skill went into certain areas of modding.

Neat, nice GUI changes too.

By the way, i am Russian  speaker player.   

 

I wish you Good luck with learning 

Thanks 

I've seen quite a few people speak in Russian now and its just so frustrating to sit back and struggle to understand. If only I could learn it overnight. Haha.

Again guys, you need the language packs, not the fonts

I've already posted this had nothing to do with fonts OR language packs, but rather the system locale. You have to specify how it handles Unicode it doesn't understand. If the system locale is set to Russian, it knows what to do with it.

Thanks for the help anyhow.

Worth noting Windows 7 seems to have a large bank of fonts for Russian Cyrillic anyway. Not sure about XP and older editions.

Thanks for the help, but in my search to find Russian fonts I found an article that revealed I just needed to change my system locale under "Control Panel > Regional & Language Settings > Administrative" to Russia. It works now, I see cyrillic. 

I was wondering if its possible to view Russian Cyrillic while in LU. I'm an English speaker but I'm learning Russian and interested in seeing it casually used between speakers and / or talking to any Russian speakers (when I am competent enough with it). I don't want to replace the entire language pack or anything, just wanted to know if its possible to see Russian Cyrillic characters in chat.

Thanks

I remember when my brother originally played GTA3 years back, he was soooo disappointed about the storyline that took him to Staunton haha. His favourite gang being the Leone Family.
