I'm playing in this server, pretty nice

hm. if i had to guess about what's going to happen with the new car in game i would say (based on past events with the fbw) that the xfg will be removed from the demo giving place to the scirocco

not that S2 users care a lot ^_^

shame you haven't got the xrt

drift is a joke, i thought we had that cleared up by now

would be awesome

Quote from Redeyes_69 :

well every thing was fine before new patch and i havnt deleated any thing but what folder would that file be in

i have 1 unlock left ...would this solve the problem? if i reinstall

also where can i manually download the patch out side of the game

the lfs_restart.exe is in the lfs' root folder. probably that's the file that's missing.. cause there are similar threads in this forum

Quote from Wilko868 :

i do but i ent sure bout the other guy

yeah that reply was for him

i'm puzzled.. if it's not your firewall I don't really know what it could be.

edit:

does your username have caps? it's a long shot but try using lowercase only

does it show any message when you press the unlock button?

Quote from Redeyes_69 :

im sure it is some thing to to with firewall blocking me to install patch

oh, i didn't notice u had a different problem.

that usually happens when you've deleted lfs_restart.exe from your lfs folder. can you check if you have that file?

take it easy, no need to bump.

i tried locking and then unlocking LFS right now and it worked fine..

have u tried doing a clean install? maybe in another folder for testing purposes

maybe your firewall is blocking LFS.exe cause it's a new file.

can you try that while running in windowed mode so you can check for your firewall's warning when you press unlock.

or just turn it off and unlock

Quote from Tomba(FIN) :

because this s2 isn't ready at all.

LFS isn't ready at all, that's why the development is separated in 3 stages..

It's supposed to be like this.. The community giving its feedback to the devs while they are building the game. LFS couldn't happen in any other way.. simply not viable

Quote from moskvich3v1 :

Well i will tell you;
1.Record movie from your replay
2.play it on quicktime player or any other
3.in the moment you want to make gif push pause and after that printscreen.This would be your 1st frame.Open Photoshop and make a new document.Push Ctrl+v and after that push alt+tab to get back to your movie.Push the right buton arrow to rewind the next frame.After next frame push again printscreen and past it on your previous frame in PS.After you finish with Frames you can Crop your frames.Get crop tool and select the part you want to see in the gif.Push Ctrl+enter and it will be croped.After that you can choose size from Images->Image Size.After finishing this you need to save your file in psd and open it in ImageReady.
4.After u open your psd in Image Ready you have to put the arrow in the down centre of the screen and select ''Make Frames from layers''The frames must be created.After that you need to remove the 1st screen if it is white only Then go to File->Save Optimized As
and Select Gif and the Gif will be made
GreetZ! Sorry for the long post!

you can import the video directly to imageready afaik skipping all the hassle with copying one frame at a time

thanks

going to try it now

fantastic scawen, thanks for the patch!

Quote from Urgentemente :

hda, have you also tried updating the DirectX recently?
In another thread I'd posted about the odd texture problems I was having, but since installed the beta 175.80 nvidia drivers and running the directX webupdate (did about 2Mb of updates..) I've had no further problems (touch wood), only thing is I don't know which bit has cured it as I did both at the same time (after numerous rounds of driver cleaning, reinstalling different versions etc)

dx is up to date

i guess the next step is gonna be test a new graphics card

thanks for your help

ati tool: no artifacts
both the card and case are clean, the cooler was removed and a new layer of thermal grease was applied

don't think it can be a temperature issue since that when testing with ati tool the temperature doesn't rise above 60c

it worked in the past..

a fresh instal didn't work running out of options..

?!

I think I never read anything that would give that ideia...

edit:

@SilverArrows77

Obviously, so I wouldn't sugest opening your card if it's still in the warranty

selling LFS accounts is ilegal

As you said, if you tab out and go back in it's ok for a while, probably because the temperature decreases while it's out in 2d mode.

So I would point to overheating as the most likely cause.

It's funny cause a friend of mine is having glitches as well, but only in LFS (posted a thread about that)

Quote from Mazink :

update GFX card driver in the first place, I might have said OVERHEATING but since the artefact are only in lfs

as I said in the first post, he tried with different drivers, the latest from nvidia, omegadrivers and older ones that shipped with his card

yeah that was my first thought but it works fine in all the other games.

btw, that glitches happen in both Y and Y22

I'm posting for a friend which I introduced to LFS over one year ago.

He's having these glitches for a while now, which make the game unplayable. All the other games work just fine.

He's running windows xp sp2 and got a nvidia geforce 7300gt, tested LFS with a series of drivers (omega, nvidia's latest - 175.16, older nvidia drivers) but it won't work.

He tried uninstalling the drivers then using drivercleaner and reinstalling again but no luck.

So can you help me/him?

Cheers

PS: Screenshot attached

my brother downloaded the demo for ps3 so i thought i should give it a go.

it got some nice details, the damage system comes straight from dirt, maybe with a little tweaking

but

i could get away with almost anything.. i made huge errors cause i didn't knew the track and all i needed to do was brake hard and i was right on track again..

oh and it slows down a bit when there are a lot of particles in the screen, like dust after you crash.

so:

damage system and visuals = +

physics = -

usual in codemasters

anyone got this working with Y18? I start the game normally and the first screen shows up as it should, even with the bloom efect and then after 1 second or something the game crashes.

Y18, vista x64, aa+af enabled in game, 174.74 drivers, tried both the dx8 and dx9 versions
