Well, it's back to the same again...
Worked fine last night and now it sucks again.
Deleting those files won't help anymore, so i'm back to square one.
I've basically given up figuring this out so, if anyone has any new ideas, please reply.

Well, what do you know...
After everything i did, as described above, i just deleted those two .txt files in LFS directory and guess what........ it's working!
i'll be damned if i understand this game! lol
Thanks for all the help guys. I hope this fixes it.

Quote from MadCatX :

OK, mate, ready for some more advanced tests? Click Start>Run>msconfig. A window with several tabs shall appear. One first tab is a "Diagnostic boot/startup" option, so select it and reboot. WinXP will start up in a diagnostic mode where all unneccessary services and background processes are disabled. Try LFS and if it works then you have to figure out which service/application not running in diagnostic but in normal mode causes this.

BTW, you should check your CPU temps, I remember myself having hard time when trying to get LFS running well and it was my CPU overheating and therefore throttling down. You can RealTemp to do so.

Well, just tried that Diagnostic Boot mode and still happens the same with LFS...
As for CPU temperature, it is watercooled and the temperature is always below average.

Thanks ze ferreira... Meanwhile, checkout buyabrain.com.

My OS is Windows XP... And it's a legal copy, so it's up to date at all times. lol
The thing that bugs me the most, is the fact that i don't have trouble with any other game... I can totally state that i didn't change anything in the game configuration at all. I've been playing it for a while and it started doing that all of a sudden.
As for programms runniing at the same time, only TeamSpeak and Windows Messenger, nothing else. Already tried it with no other programm running and still keeps doing that.
I've scanned my computer again and again with anti-spyware scanners and anti-virus with nothing to be found.
This is really becoming an annoying thing, seriously...

Well, i tried posting this on an old thread and got no replies, so decided to give it one more try...

My PC specs:
INTEL CORE 2 QUAD 2.66 GHZ 12MB
4Gb RAM
Nvidia 8800GTX
Motherboard: ASUS P5W 64 WS Professional


So, i've been playing with this hardware for a few weeks without any problems... Yesterday the frame rate began to drop when i had more then 2 cars close to mine.
Nothing changed, i didn't change anything anywhere, i have no problem at all with any other game (most of them "heavier" then LFS) running them with everything at max.
When i launch the game, the frame rate goes around 100, but as soon as i leave the pits or some other car approaches, the frame rate drops to 10, 5 and even 2 FPS!
I downloaded and installed more recent drivers, reinstalled the game itself, tried lowering the graphic options to minimum, asked around, and i can't figure out what on earth is wrong with this thing.
If anyone knows how to solve this problem, please post something.
Thanks in advance.

I thought the screenshot was about the bug on the RACESIMCENTRAL thing at the barriers

I thought about that... But i used many cars, including FZR, XRR and FXR

I'm sure of it... I went the right way (which is reverse in this case lol) and the line stayed in "normal mode".

Hi!
I was making some training on this track and i turned on de Race Line thing... I noticed right away that the Race Line was wrong because there was no braking (red line) before the turns, but after. lol
I think the line in Reverse mode is the same as in "normal".

Good news...
Anyway, i would only ask for rallycross tires to set up on FXR! That would be nice!

Well, everything is normal now... I guess it overheated or something. Thanks for replying.

Thanks all! I'll see tonight if the FF is back or if it is broken... Hope not!

Hey guys, kind of new here... I just bought my G25 a few days ago and now i'm a bit worried about something...
Tonight i played like 4 hours nonstop (yeah, mental) and the wheel started to heat up... Got pretty hot and the force feedback got much lighter, sometimes no FF at all.
I'm worried cause i don't know if this is normal...
What you think? Thanks in advance, and sorry for any bad writting.
