MTA:SA error code
MTA:SA error CD42
The server could not create your player in the game.
How to fix it
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.
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. On CIT, ask in game with J > Support or /sup, or post the exact message on the General Support / Questions board (cit.gg/index.php?board=15.0).
Still not fixed? Copy the whole message, not only the code, and check your log in the Fix tool. It is read on your own computer.
About this code
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 CD42 as Player-element creation failed.
