MTA:SA fix

An AC, VF or SD kick appeared

Match the full identifier, then use only the checks that fit. A detection label does not establish intent.

Steps

Try one step, then check whether the problem is still there. Follow any "only if" line before changing a setting.

  1. Keep the prefix and number together

    Read AC, VF or SD and its number as one identifier. The public table is incomplete. A Server AC Info line describing enabled detections is configuration information, not proof you were kicked.

  2. Restart for an SD16 startup failure

    Only if the actual kick identifier is SD16.

    Only for SD16, save your work and restart the PC before retrying. This may help its documented anti-cheat startup failure; it does not establish why the component failed.

  3. Close the specifically restricted network limiter

    Only for that restriction when NetLimiter is actually installed.

    Only for a NetLimiter/SD33 restriction with NetLimiter installed, close its client and restart. If its background service starts again, follow the official guide for stopping only the identified NetLimiter service before reconnecting.

  4. Close the specifically restricted recorder

    Only for the corresponding recorder/SD35 restriction.

    Only for the FPS-lock-capable recorder restriction, close the identified Fraps or Bandicam application if you use it, then restart MTA. This is not a ban on all screen recording.

  5. Follow the named Cheat Engine notice

    Only if Cheat Engine is explicitly named and actually installed.

    Only if the notice names Cheat Engine and it is installed, restart the PC. If the same notice remains, the official guide recommends uninstalling that program and restarting again.

    Careful: Removing software does not remove an existing ban.

  6. Leave an unexplained detection unexplained

    If none of these specific cases fits, use the full message with MTA support or the server that issued it. Do not remove unrelated software or infer an unpublished meaning from the number.

Worth knowing

Server-selected compatibility restrictions differ from MTA global bans. Players cannot change the server’s anti-cheat policy from client settings.

No generic AC/VF/SD code list is attached to this recipe; the exact-code catalog keeps its separate interpretations.

Still stuck? The Fix tool reads MTA's own log on your computer and points at the matching steps. Nothing is uploaded.
