Where is your LFS installed?

Can you describe what exactly you did in more detail? What do you mean it auto logs you out from the game? Did you unlock successfully with the new unlock code and then it went back to the locked state?

Quote from McLaud :

Thanks a lot! :-D With this I am lost, I don't understand this part:

'... and is set automatically and sent to you in an email when you click a link on your details page.'

Read the "How to use your unlock code:" section in that thread.

When I request a reset e-mail, the text wraps onto two lines and the 2nd line with the time is partially hidden.

There's also this sticky thread in General discussion forum: https://www.lfs.net/forum/thread/112018-Your-unlock-code-does-not-match%3F--You-need-to-set-an-unlock-code%3F

Quote from J.E.R.E_254 :

Scawen, I don't know who you are, but thanks for trying to help me, and I hope to return the favor someday. (Same here, guys.)

Scawen is the programmer of LFS.

Quote from J.E.R.E_254 :

I also tried it recently, ctrl+c to copy and ctrl+v to paste, but the message is the same "unlock code does not match"

Sorry, I just feel like they don't take it seriously.

Scawen tried to help you, doesn't that mean he takes it seriously? We're just trying to figure out what the issue is. You aren't the only one having troubles with the unlock code. Please be patient.

Have you tried opening your email client on your PC and copy & pasting the unlock code into LFS?

There's a pinned thread for this already: https://www.lfs.net/forum/thread/111761-Officially-licensed-vehicle-mods

The Ferat Vampire is missing from that list, though.

This, closing thread.

I think it's good to wait for an official update, this is still only a test patch.

In the source code using the LFS API, these are used as values of URL query string parameters called "client_id" and "client_secret".

Czech updated

Read the instructions here: https://www.lfs.net/forum/thread/112018

Quote from Lucas McFly :

2. When you paste the unlock code and press "Unlock," there is a confirmation message, but the "Unlock" button remains active, which may suggest something went wrong.

This has caught me off guard as well. The "Unlock" button must remain active for non-S3 users who may buy a higher license in the future and need to unlock it again. Once an S3 user unlocks their LFS, that but doesn't make much sense to me, but I may be missing something.

Perhaps the user could automatically get back to the entry screen after confirming the dialog "username and pass confirmed"?

Quote from lovnts :

This is sad from Scawen after 20 years a system like this is being created!!!!!!! You must cancel this system and restore the old system.

Do you want less security of people's LFS accounts and a bigger probability of them being hijacked and stolen in case of another 3rd party site data leak?

Your post adds no value, at least add some reasoning to your claim.

Quote from kristofferandersen :

Not all players uses forums, or even knows how to navigate a forum. Heck, some may even not know LFS has a forum

Therefore they may not have heard about the game password change and just tried to enter their old game password. I just activated two of my accounts with the unlock code and that worked just fine.

Good change.

I think this is a good point. Scawen did try to make it visible by adding a fake event into the LFS calendar. What about sending out newsletter emails after such an important change? Or is that planned only after a new official patch?

Driver animation done.

Now onto LOD2...

Did you get the unlock code via email? Is that what you copied and pasted?

Yes like everyone who will need to unlock their LFS from now on...

Well it would be confusing if people visited the Personal details page looking for a GAMEpassword but there is only Password and Unlock code.

By the way, the LFS unlock confirmation email says this at the bottom:

Quote :

Security note: If you, the account owner, did not just unlock LFS, you are strongly advised to change both the WEBpassword and GAMEpassword of your LFS account. You can do that at any time by logging in on our website and going to your account details page.

This should be reworded because GAMEpassword does not exist anymore.

Just to be really sure - did you use "SNST" in the "Registered user name" field in LFS?

Edit: I guess you did because Scawen saw you ran out of unlocks

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but as far as I'm aware, the e-mail address has been a mandatory field when creating a new LFS account for many years. I remember entering it when I created my account in 2007.

Unfortunately, David_Holiday is on our blacklist due to having published ripped mods on his Sketchfab profile.

Besides that, what the hell is that description? It looks like some kind of weird copy&paste from some instructions.

You have been unbanned now.
