~General Updates~

We aim to strive to keep the community running as smooth as possible. Whilst this past week has been busy, we'd like to show you some of the things that have either been fixed, added or removed during its time. This is officially the first development update published for our Liberty City migration. It's quite packed, but we know some of you actually enjoy reading this (weirdos), so here... enjoy!

// Fixed several UCP issues including a strange rewrite rule which was causing insecure loading (no TLS/SSL) for phones but not for desktops on certain parts of the website. This was due to requesting assets via http rather than https; now forced every aspect of the UCP to load https to avoid future situations like this.

+ Disabled the /exit command which allowed players to close mta instantly. (Spooky)
// Fixed a water bug which caused parts of the ocean to disappear (Spooky)
// Fixed an issue where some of the SA map wouldn’t delete upon startup. (Spooky)

Our Devs are hard at work ensuring that launch-day will be as smooth as butter. We are extremely excited to help build a refreshing vibe using Liberty City. We only hope to see you there in early December!

 

Thank you for your interest in joining us on our new adventure. We hope to see you all in-game upon release. For more information regarding release, please stay tuned to our Discord Announcements and/or the AGRP Forums.

 

Kind~Regards,
