Ever since i got S2 it keeps saying this on the loading screen.

Anyone know whats wrong?

Quote from TiJay :

OK, so I just got TVUPlayer and therefore a way to watch live NASCAR races on the Speed channel.

Being English, I have little understanding of NASCAR outside of Talladega Nights, Cars, and NASCAR videogames. I've read the Wiki article on the NEXTEL Cup too.

As I've seen a few NASCAR posts here I figured someone could possibly give me a basic explanation of this year's (I think) NEXTEL Cup season?

- How far through the season is it?
- Who are the drivers to watch?
- What have the 'big events' been this season?
- Anything else I need to understand to watch NASCAR

Thanks in advance!

About 30=36 races goes to November.
Watch for Jeff gordon #24, Jimmie Johnson #48 Dale Earnhardt Jr #8 and a few others (#20, #9 and others)
New CoT (Cars of Tomorrow)
When they say hes tight his car is trying to go up into the wall, when they say Loose hes spinning out IE:failing a drift lol.

Also one thing to note:The number 20 car is Tony Stuwart...hes a jerk in racing.

Wow!! There are no words to describe it!! or at least I don't know them ROLF It's not even worth the CD-R it's burned on.

The plot: Some stupid bitch cries for two hours while some "misterious" bad guy makes bad things, and a stupid cop makes stupid things.

Wow its a horror film Duel copycat.

lol.

Scawen I have a problem when I installed patch W:

While playing in Patch V in crouded areas my FPS went to like 30 FPS but now its like 14 FPS and lower.

Heres my system specs:

Processor: AMD Athlon XP 3200+, MMX, 3DNow, ~2.2GHz
Memory:512MB RAM

Graphicscard:NVIDIA Geforce FX 5200
Total Memory 128.0 MB

It worked fine before but now it just goes really slow.

I was in [TC]Citydriving Jamacia if that helps any.

Quote from GeForz :

Sounds like "small" mistakes

Yeah i mean theres like 1000 players...not as many as most games (Halo 2 Halo 1 PC heck even RUNESCAPE has over 20k players!) but I bet eventually with advertising LFS will be fameous....hmm *runs to buy billboard for LFS advertising* lol.

Awesome thanks dude!

Cant wait for patch X lol :P

Quote from jegorchangai :

Yes I do have the split axis, Okay and I turned that off, Its supposed to be like this right then?
Didnt notice a difference btw, the violent shaking is still present

If its violently shaking stop making it watch those dang horror films!!

Your gonna kill it because of how scared it is!

Quote from Greboth :

Know anyone with paypal who can buy it for you and you pay them the cash?

Like I told him get one of his friends with PAYPAL to buy him a voucher for it.

Quote from johnfromsunnymull :

Right well as most of you know, im only 14 and i have to ask my mum to get me S2, WELL i gave her the money to get me it, BUT she says thats she not going to get me it because it is an utter waste of money!! :guilty:

Tell her to give your money back then and find a friend who will buy a voucher for you so u can give em the cash.

Quote from Dumpy :

lmfao... bored much?

Yes I was lol.

This is my own fan created video on why Halo 3 SHOULD NOT be on the original Xbox.

WARNING:Contains scenes of Actionfigures and Construction paper!

lol.

Quote from Woz :

The other thing to try is switch back to full size textures but drop down to 16bitgfx from 32bit and enable dither. This will give you a big life in fps without the ugly effects of half size textures

if u mean 16bit in resolution i already have it to 16 bit.

and dither is on also...hmm.

Quote from kompa :

I never ran LFS with anything other than MAX settings but I think your best bet would be to try this:

graphics options

the top LOD sliders: 0,50 - 0,20 - 0,50
full size textures = no
car and helmet skins = compressed

see if that gets you anywhere

OMFG DUDE YOUR MY HERO!!!!

I got 98.8 FPS in 3rd person view and 70 FPS incar!!!

That was alone but still a major improvement and it still looks great ingame!!!!111oneoneone

EDIT:Yeah i turned off "Multiplayer car speedup" so i know what that is and Vsync is off.

Gonna check that dynamic thing now. Its at 0.50 so it should be okay.

Quote from kompa :

so you're using XP? close all the useless apps from the backgroud (leave firewall on) eating your ram&cpu, then start to pull the graphics sliders towards left within LFS until you get some decent frames with a full AI field for example. And if you have anti aliasing/anisotropic filtering on in the graphics card drivers, turn them off.

I don't even know what half the apps are and if i close one of em out it might be a system thing and my comp might go into a neverending restart cycle.

Can't you just tell me something else ingame? I turned AA and AF off from the graphics card.

Will hardware vertex shading help if its on?

Quote from Cr!t!calDrift :

Yeah, well that's good that you are maturing, too many attacks on us lately.

lol....yeah.

If nismo and echx are still gonna act how they do after this I can't stop how they act so im not saying anything.

Quote from mcintyrej :

Oh right, I didn't realise you were in a situation like that, i thought you just didn't want to spend money or something.

*lays quiverring...more*

Yeah i know and im poor too.

If i had money i'd buy an Alienware PC already lmao.

Quote from mcintyrej :

*lays quiverring in the corner.*

Your computer is pretty old. Older than mine, which I thought wasn't possible. I'm guessing its an AGP Motherboard? Try getting a cheap Graphics card, mine can be bought for around £25 these days, if your AGP, that is.

DID U NOT READ THREAD NAME?!?!?!? *beats more with stick*

I CANNOT upgrade ANYTHING on this computer.

It simply won't work my dad says and hes the one who gave it to me.

He's also the man who scored 143 on his IQ test so im going with what he says lol.

Okay here they are i guess:


Guess thats it.

Sorry to hijack your thread a bit

That will tell you what CPU you have, how fast it's running, how much ram you have, and how fast that's running.

K i used that but I have a GIANT textfile of info and I have no idea wtf im looking for in it.

Quote from Cr!t!calDrift :

Yep, I posted a thread on the forums. Immature behaviour is no longer tolerated.

Also, I don't want anymore negative comments other than critisism. I'll talk to my members if i have to, but aside that, respect my thoughts on your posts.

Ehh your right sorry about the mess and whatnot.

Having a bad week right now but its not an excuse for my behavior.

Quote from al heeley :

no way of telling unless you post yr pc specs

Well i have no way of checking them to my knowlage dude.

I run a Stock PC (not sure excact specs but it has a GeforceFX5200 in it) and I get around 20-30 FPS in packed servers and 30-40 (peaks at 47) when im alone.

Anyone know how I can make it so I have more FPS while playing but still have it look decent?

Quote from XenoWolf :

I liked some of the transitions and shot angles near the end. The one where you were 'mounted' on the sidepod and switched seamlessly between three different cars was really impressive.

Thanks and I wasn't really sure about that part.

How I had a black car made it look like he was an evil driver or something

Quote from d6nn :

the beginning was a total crap, but from bout 1min it started to improve

Well you can't expect MAJOR quallity from a 16 year old kid with Unregistered fraps and a Stock PC with a poor graphics card.
