What it means

A CD code appears when a connection to a server fails, is refused, or ends. Most of them carry a second line with the server's own reason. MTA's own documentation gives this code as Player-element creation failed.

How to fix it

Work down the list and stop when it is solved.

1. Try the connection again

   Close MTA, open it again and connect once more. A single failed attempt can come from a restart on the server or a short break in your own connection.

2. Ask the server, not MTA

   If the message names a server rule, a kick, a ban or a reason, that decision belongs to that server. Take the exact message to the server's own forum or Discord. MTA cannot change another server's decision.

3. Check your log if it keeps happening

   Paste the message, or MTA's core.log, into the Fix tool on this site. It runs on your own computer and points at the matching steps.
