Me box monkey, all week , respite for angry slave comes , no joy available, is world doomed ?

tbh i race fairly, but last year or so , more and more i see the "new" generation (not just in LFS) having 0 respect, so if im passing and they decide to tighten their line (9/10 this is the case) I WILL widen mine.

So i guess my vote lies with "eat wall" , I`m sick to death of political correctness.

Id almost certainly say the problem is ISP or PC.

Great stuff I`ll be putting in order for a t-shirt and mug as soon as my evil employer deposits some cash into account, one thing that i would like is a wooly hat of some sort , not a cap person myself, anyway two-thumbs up KiDCoDEa.

(oh btw those prices, are they american dollars ?)

looking at your diag file i think problem is here

Card name: ATI Technologies, Inc. RAGE XL PCI
Manufacturer: ATI Technologies, Inc.
Chip type: ATI RAGE XL PCI
DAC type: ATI Internal DAC
Device Key: Enum\PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_4752&SUBSYS_80081002&REV_27
Display Memory: 8.0 MB
Current Mode: 1024 x 768 (32 bit) (60Hz)

im not really sure that your Graphics card in your PC is capable to run LFS, and render corretly or sufficently. It looks as though you have an AGP slot perhaps you can use to get a card that will run LFS.

Hope this helps.

*edit*

only info i can find on whats needed to run LFS (thanks illegal)

http://forum.rscnet.org/showpo ... p=2513430&postcount=3

does this look/sound familiar ? do you have audigy 2 zs ?

http://www.lfsforum.net/showth ... ?goto=newpost&t=16911

Happened again , 3 times in a row , 3rd time PC hard reset.
only happnes in Multiplayer this is with fresh install of LFS Version 0.5V on a different hard drive.
Previous to this seris of errors, i had LFS running for 12 hours SP mode and was hotlapping on off during this time , and not one single problem , sometimes with replayloooping for long periods.

So its MP , doesnt seem to make a difference what car or track is used , if race restarts by vote sounds is all restored , if i exit to main screen , all sound is restored.

Ive run memtest and PC is prime95 stable for aslong as i can be bothered to run.

Im begining to think its the change to sound system and the Audigy2 ZS the latter being main suspect now.

i have the replays of the crashes/errors if needed.

PC is AMD Opteron 146
Nvidia Nforce4 Ultra - Drivers 6.86
2x Cosair XMS Pro 512CMX3200
Nvidia 7800GTX - Drivers 93.81
Creative Audigy 2 ZS - Drivers 5.12.4.1196

anyone else with Patch U32-V and also owning Audigy2 ZS having same issues ?


*edit*

Re- installed majority of drivers , motherboard VGA and sound & network
Just to make 100% sure.

Maybe check your display driver settings ?

If its not display textures correctly on loading screen or in game then , seems like display driver or direct x problem.

*edit i notice another post*
If you can post your PC spec maybe i can help but here is link for MS Direct-X Dec06

all you guys got TFT or CRT ? just curious. I do think its a driver bug with certain TFT displays, ive not had black screen once since switching to a 19" CRT form 17" TFT. Two types of black screen bug one is where after shift F4 , screen remains black until LFS.exe is closed or other where periodically screen goes black for 1 sec or so. (this is TFT only afaik)

Not had another error since re-installing , seems old folder must of become a mess with all the test patching as it still does it on that install.

If it does occur again ill try and gather more info.

Trying a New Clean Install , so far so good. Old Folder was from Original Alpha and just about every patch since.

Ok it happened again , this time instead of exiting i left it , tried the usual Shift W / shift N , nothing , then race restarted and sound was re-initialised, was working fine again :s

any ideas ?

Im Running Fully Patched XP Proffesional
Sound Card is Audigy 2 ZS (latest drivers from autoupdate 5.12.4.1196-11/08/2006)


Since U32 ive had a problem with the sound stopping/crashing. Its totally random. Cant see anything that is triggering this. All sound stops after the crash, its distinctive , sounds like all the sound goes in to short michrophone feedback.It has only happened in Online games.

Basically once it happens only way to get ANY sound is to exit to the main menu. then Menu sounds are audible. I usually restart LFS after this, at first i thought was prehaps a bug with U32 , but it happened with 35 & 36 and now Version V.

replay from last time it happened. http://demoncomputers.pwp.blue ... /stuff/LFS/soundcrash.mpr

ok thanks madcat

Didnt know where i should post this , With problem being on a patchU30 i thought here was best place to start.

I have a strange problem , has only happened since using U30 for me After a while (hour or more ) being on server i become invisible on the track, apperantley to others , i seem to be in the pits , this has happened 4 times now and seems to occur after a prolonged time on a server ( has happened on 3 times on team [dSRC] servers and on STCC server also. There is no lag shown for myself or others.

Below is one of the replays i have caught , but ive watched (and some really bad driving ) and doesnt seem to be a problem.

any ideas?

Hi Devs, Was racing Deadmenracing Server (u30) (myself U30)

Was 10 lap race (Forced Pits)
1st place finished on lap 10 (pitting on last lap)
3rd place man finshed before i had, i pitted on lap 9>10 as i passed line it said i had finished but didnt resolve the results until i had completed my lap, even though message was saying i had.

mmm if that doesnt make any sense maybe this will

Intersting I am interested indeed , Love my LAN gaming (been doing it for nearly a decade, null modem is where my addiciton began)

TBO also will make some enquiries, see if i can scrape together whats required.

only ever seen that using FF , IE7 here no probs with IE6 either.

For myself TBO will always be the heart of racing in LFS , just so much fun to drive , although ill say it before thread gets hijacked about the inbalance in TBO. (there done )

Each car in that class has very unique handling , making it superb for battles combined with South City, makes it a winning combo imo.

+1

Quote from Scawen :

OK, thanks for the responses and votes. Enough people want this that the option needs to stay.

I've done it differently now, much more understandable. It has two separate options as you can see in the attachment. The "Draw (look)" option is not selected by default. If not selected at all (as you see in the image) then it uses the "Draw (main)" option for the look option.

Much easier to understand what the differences are.
Am curious about the 2 new options, eye veiw and center veiw, guess we will find out in u29
