Quote from Scawen :

[...] it has been when the video driver has crashed. But then Windows did tell me that the driver had stopped responding and had been restarted. [...]

Yes I have seen that message too and although I didn't get that notification this time that is probably what happened. I've had this happen in Rocket League as well (which, coincidentally also runs DX9).

It seems to have become a bit worse lately, I'm not sure whether it's because of a defunct graphics card, the state of the current nVidia drivers or simply the summer temperature that causes devices to overheat.

A crash report on this otherwise nice patch! (0.6P6)

I was riding along (spectating) another player in a multi-player race while configuring my freshly installed LFS. As I went through the options I could not remember the purpose of Display -> Drop shadows so I toggled that option off and on a few times. Doing this the screen suddenly went completely black. I still had video signal though since I could see (and move) the mouse cursor. I also still heard sound LFS appeared to be running in the "background", just without video.

I then hit shift-f4 to switch to windowed mode. As my desktop appeared LFS.exe crashed with the following report:


Event viewer entry (not sure if it's of any use):

Not sure if this is actually caused my LFS. It could be my freshly installed Win7 -- There are information and warning messages regarding the Desktop Window Manager just a couple of seconds prior to when LFS crashed.

Attached report.wer from Windows ReportArchive.

Edit: I am not able to reproduce it by toggling the drop shadows. :\

Can we presume that this is solved since you are currently online at a S2 host?

Gosh, OF COURSE -- YouTube! I was searching my drive like crazy for the other entries but apparently I'm too dense to consider the most obvious source in the world.

/kev/null, lol! Epic channel name, by the way.

At least the FBMW video is of higher quality than what you (seem to) be able to find on YT.

Hi there,

Hi there,

Are you talking about the lfs_ai_skin-pack_s2y download link?

The url provided is hosted on HTTP (not HTTPS). So yes, technically the connection isn't "private" (enrypted). But browsers should not normally throw an error (yet).

If you, on the other hand switch the URL to HTTPS the browser will throw a warning because the domain (filer.liveforspeed.se) doesn't match the domain provided in the certificate (*.loopiasecure.com). The connection is however, still "private" (encrypted).

I've setup liveforspeed.se to use HTTPS (and HSTS) but I can't setup a _valid_ certificate for filer.liveforspeed.se because that server is kindly provided by, and managed by Loopia, our sponsor.

Personally I would feel pretty comfortable downloading this file over an unencrypted connection.

Swedish-speaking people: I've added translations for the new (mainly VR) strings. If you have any comments please let me know here (or via PM) and we'll sort it out.

Quote from Gutholz :

Maybe a comment function? [...] Rating system only tells so much. [...]

Speaking of, I've never been a fan of the 5-star rating system. I n my opinion it does not provide enough granularity -- Most "decent/good" <whatever> end up with 4 or 5 stars so it can be hard to separate the good setups from the great ones.

Now I'm not a data crunching guy but I do like Steam's user review system which, if you break it down is quite simple:

- Do you recommend this game? (Yes/No).
- Optional review (/comment) box.

Rating: x% of the y user reviews for this game are positive.

Then they go crazy with allowing users to review another user's review but that's not really necessary, I guess.

Any other thoughts? Perhaps a 5 grade rating is sufficient regarding setups.

@Vic,

When looking at the car setups I rated a setup by accident. I was able to figure out how to remove my rating but perhaps a undo button could fit in there somewhere?

Hey, just a small report on that the new borderless window system (specifically "borderless window (single monitor)") works great in Linux/wine.

Very handy when switching between windows/worskpaces (especially in combination with the "Sound when window is inactive" setting turned on).

Just noticed something regarding the auto-update system (that's probably not relevant to the ongoing discussion) and figured I'd mention it:

It appears as if LFS checks for an updated version when you click on the Multiplayer screen but not when you unlock the game. And since you need to unlock LFS after an update (at least in my case going from 0.6K to 0.6M) you might need to use 2 unlocks.

ie:

• Launch (unlocked) instance of LFS
  
• Unlock the Demo
  
• Go online (proceed to be prompted about the update, download, install and restart LFS)
  
• Unlock the Demo a second time
  

In short: For a smoother experience, perhaps do an update check before opening the unlock screen.

I had 2 unlocks so I'm good but this approach would probably save some time for both the users and ScaViEr.

No problems here, wine-1.9.6.

May I suggest migrating these instructions to the LFS Wiki? The Wiki syntax allows for better text, image and code samples plus it's easier to collaborate while keeping the progress in-place.

(But don't look at me, I've done enough edits for a while )

I'll probably not update it anymore, as I'm working on a html version of the remote.

Hey that's awesome! Vo Vo Vadget!

(Dunno why the screenshot came out all weird. It's at my end though I guess so nevermind).

Quote from MandulAA :

Nice, looking forward to translate it to the Hungarian LFS Manual, so more people can read about running LFS on OSX.

Cool! I suggest waiting a few days though in case the article needs changing.

Ok here we go: http://en.lfsmanual.net/wiki/Running_LFS_on_OS_X

The only issue I came across was that the functionality provided by the FFB kext is disabled once you enable FTW (clutch, separate pedals and 900 degrees rotation).

So it seems that you have to choose between proper input or FFB.

jackhumbert/FreeTheWheel is a fork of the original project (Feral Interactive) and it states "Force Feedback with the LogitechForceFeedback.kext" but that binary didn't work either. At least not with my G25.

Alternative method using WineBottler (Only GUI, no terminal):


Tomorrow, or next week, I'll test with my G25/Wireless controllers and create the article.

edit: If anyone has experience using a (for example) a Logitech wheel on OS X I'd like to hear your thoughts.

Yessss, another cars we wanna see thread possibly spanning 10 years and thousands of posts. Great.

And there is no such thing as S4.

Edit: on a more serious and constructive note I suggest renaming the other thread to 'cars we wanna see in lfs' and merge this into that one.

Slow day today so I had a go at Mac OS X.

Seems to work very well but I'd be thankful if someone else could help me confirm if the following (outline) works:


I know that Winebottler would be an alternative method to set things up but Brew is actually really nice.

If any of you agree on this approach I'll go ahead and create an additional Wiki article (It'll be similar to the Linux article I wrote here: http://en.lfsmanual.net/wiki/Running_LFS_on_Linux).

So that disabling FFB from within LFS solved the problem was a false positive?

Edit: Oh, I read your post too quickly. I see now that you pointed out a potential relation between the FFB setting and whether LFS was launched from a terminal or the desktop shortcut (without the 'Run in terminal' option enabled.

Quote from Scawen :

No, nothing to do with mobile. I'm talking about the Rift upload pages. Recommended processor, Recommended memory, Recommended graphics card are all fields that need to be filled in. It refers to Windows and Max OS X.

Alright, fair enough. I mainly reacted on the error message you provided "APK is launchable (launchable-activity)". I recognize APK as Android application Package and "activity" as an Android class (and "App" speaks for itself I guess. Never meant to steer the thread off topic. I'll be quiet now.

"App" and "APK" implies they are talking about software for the Android (Mobile) platform.

Michalxo ("other person") had/is having the issue in RBR as well as LFS.

In what way did you disable FFB? In LFS or in Linux?

So I had a quick look with LFS and it appears as if when you click "Display list of hosts" a sequence of TCP packets are transferred between your client (src port ~9k) and master.liveforspeed.net (188.122.74.158, dst port 29339).

That port is actually documented as a required port (at least for hosting) here: https://www.lfs.net/faq/host/13

Then your client retrieves each individual server's information using UDP.

If I block master.liveforspeed.net locally LFS throws an error message: "Could not connect to to master server [...].

Is that what you are seeing in LFS?
