What’s new

Public server domains and precise mouse controls

Servers can publish a verified public domain, with improved mouse controls and animation fixes for players.

Server browser

• Display and copy a verified public server domain.
• Existing servers remain compatible; updating the server is required only to enable the new domain setting.

For server owners

• Optional neon_registry_public_host setting requires automatic Neon Identity and a single public IPv4 DNS answer.
• The registry verifies the server identity at the relay endpoint before publishing it. Invalid domain configurations are rejected instead of falling back to the origin address.
• Relay hosting, firewall rules and DDoS protection remain the server owner's responsibility.

Controls and fixes

• More precise mouse sensitivity settings with separate aim multipliers.
• Client scripting can read guarded local gameplay aim angles.
• Fixed custom partial animations leaving pedestrians rigid.

What’s new

Faster native worlds and protected custom assets

Build 184 makes native worlds faster and smoother, improves AI traffic, and lets servers protect custom model files.

For players

• Native worlds can now load for the first time without restarting GTA.
• Previously downloaded worlds load much faster and automatically recover from damaged cache files.
• AI traffic follows lanes, intersections and one-way roads more reliably.

For creators and server owners

• Servers can now encrypt downloadable DFF, TXD and COL files.
• The new engineReplaceEncryptedModel function securely loads these protected models.
• Clients and servers must both use build 184 because this update changes the Neon network protocol.

What’s new

Neon Identity, DevTools and native-world improvements

Build 183 makes Neon Identity simple to enable on community servers, adds structured DebugScript 4 diagnostics, expands native AI and story tooling, and fixes traffic, shadows, dialogs and native-world transitions.

For players

• Disconnect, confirmation and other system dialogs now keep their Close, Cancel and Confirm buttons visible and readable.
• Invisible peds and the local player no longer leave blob or dynamic shadows behind when their alpha is zero.
• Synchronized native traffic no longer turns into an impossible direction after joining a one-way road.
• Switching between native world packs now restores GTA streaming, collision and model state more reliably, including repeated same-session switches and safe loader restarts.

Server owners and Neon Identity

• Enable Neon authentication with a single neon_auth setting: disabled, optional or required. No server ID or public key needs to be provisioned manually for the official service.
• The server creates a persistent cryptographic identity, proves control of its public ASE endpoint and renews its Identity registration automatically.
• Existing mtaserver.conf files receive the new setting in disabled mode automatically, while complete legacy and custom Identity configurations remain supported.
• Required mode fails closed while registration is unavailable; optional mode keeps ordinary connections available without exposing an unverified identity.
• The cancellable onPlayerConnect event now appends the verified Neon account ID and Discord ID when available, allowing resources to apply account policy before the player joins.

For creators

• DebugScript level 4 opens a structured CEF diagnostics interface with client/server context, filtering, search, occurrence counts, history and export tools.
• The complete DebugScript 4 frontend is now included in both clean installations and installer-based updates.
• Use setPedNavigateTo to run GTA node-route navigation for synchronized peds, including native building-collision recovery.
• New native task primitives cover ped drive missions, ped physical proofs, vehicle straight-line distance and recorded-playback speed.
• Reusable task-cohort and recorded-playback foundations support authoritative multi-actor missions, ownership handoff and synchronized observers.
• The source repository, rather than the downloadable server package, now includes cooperative Sweet & Kendl and OG Loc reference missions plus bounded native navigation, freeroam traffic and story validation resources.

Development tooling

• The new Neon CLI provides a deterministic catalogue of inherited MTA APIs and Neon additions, project-local contracts, focused context packs and side-specific LuaLS metadata.
• Closed scenario evidence, project verification and tamper checks make automated development results reproducible without granting arbitrary shell access.
• An authenticated loopback runtime supervisor supports read-only comparison by default and explicitly bounded resource or scenario mutations when enabled.
• Vehicle-audio documentation now explains the prepared Assetto Corsa or Soundize bank workflow and synchronized RPM, throttle, gear and backfire behavior.

What’s new

Missing client assets restored

Build 181 repairs Definitive radar and Project2DFX data omitted from build 180 installations and strengthens installer validation.

Players and fixes

• Updating from build 180 now installs the missing Definitive Edition radar textures.
• Selecting the Definitive Edition radar no longer silently falls back to GTA's original renderer because of missing packaged assets.
• Project2DFX distant lights now load their complete definition set instead of falling back to GTA's embedded effects.

Release infrastructure

• The release workflow now verifies critical data hashes and refuses any staged client file omitted from the final installer.
