News SA-MP Server requires 0.3.7-R5

SA-MP Client 0.3.7-R5 Requirement

As part of our upcoming C.O.C.K. (Coded Observation Cheat K-Liner) anti-cheat update, we will require all players to use SA-MP 0.3.7-R5 or higher to connect to the server. This change is being introduced to block known client-side hacks and exploits used with older versions.

Why?
We're stepping up our efforts to provide a safer, fairer gameplay experience for everyone. Older client versions are no longer secure, and unfortunately, are being abused to exploit and cheat. This update is one of several steps we’re taking to restore balance and integrity to the server.

What do I need to do?
Download and install a compatible client by following this guide:

We strongly recommend switching to Open Multiplayer (open.mp). It's a modern alternative that:
  • Gets regular updates and is maintained
  • Has a working internet list
  • You can change your SA-MP version per server (R4 also works)
  • Discord integration
If you have any questions or need support - please ask them either here on the forums or receive excellent community support on our Discord server.

When does this take effect?
This requirement is currently live (28th May 2025). If you're using an older client, you'll be automatically kicked upon connection after this change.


A personal note:
I know I’ve been away more than I should have been, and I truly appreciate those of you who’ve stuck around despite the silence. This update is a small but meaningful step as we begin reinforcing the server’s future. I’m committed to rebuilding trust and momentum in the months ahead.

Thank you for your patience, your passion, and for continuing to make Lawless Roleplay your home. ❤️

Why are you doing this?

You realise that many player-sided FPS plugins do not work with open.mp or even r5. If you are worried that this will stop cheaters, then you are wrong.

Focus on your admin team and your script first, adapting to a newer version of sa-mp without these adjustments first will just kill your server even more honestly lol.

But you do you, you've been leading it for the past 12 years.

Goodluck
