No more flickering for me

Quote from Scawen :

See this attached picture, this is the mode that SHIFT+F4 should be trying to use.

Can you try in Screen Options to click this button (the one shown in white here) and see if it works? 800 x 600 16 bit (no Hz number)

It works,and im starting from window mode.
Im starting to get quite confused...

Quote from Scawen :

It is very hard to understand how SHIFT+F4 can not work, if SHIFT+F9 to SHIFT+F12 do work. It just doesn't seem to make any sense.

Please can you try something for me :

Get your LFS ready in such a way that it is going to go wrong when you start it (I think that means you exit LFS in a window).

Then copy the line from your cfg.txt that starts "Screen Info".

Now, check that when you start LFS, you get the strange bug when you press SHIFT+F4. If so, can you paste that "Screen Info" line here? That is the line which determines which mode is selected when you press SHIFT+F4... but LFS does check that it is a valid mode before using it.

Also some more useful info would be the lines INFO_F9 INFO_F10 INFO_F11 and INFO_F12

Ok Scawen,this are the results.
I set LFS in window mode and close it.

Screen Info 1 0 800 600

Now i open LFS and press Shift+F4.
And this is the result in cfg.txt after flickering and shutting LFS from Task manager

Screen Info 0 0 1280 800


Should i try to see the result in cfg.txt with shift+F9-12?

Quote from Scawen :

OK, tell me if I understand you right...

If you exit LFS full screen, then you start LFS it is in full screen, and everything works fine? You can go to window and back to full screen?

But if you exit LFS in a window, then you start LFS it is in a window, and from this point you cannot go full screen?

All right

Quote from Scawen :

And in what way can you not go full screen? Just by using SHIFT+F4? What about SHIFT+F9 to F12?

Shift+F9-F12 works well

Quote from majod :

so for me the solution was:
shift+F9 (or something else then full resolution), THEN SHIFT+F12...
after that - shift+f4 was working again

also gui bug disappeard

After the first flickering the shift+f4 combo works again,it's just the first instance that is buggy.

Scawen i tried test3 and the flickering things is still there.
If i start lfs in a window and then shift+f4 the screen goes black and everything flickers but,if i quickly hit that combination again it goes back to window mode and i can read a red message on the top left of the screen:
Screen dimension changed:go to full screen.

Quote from Scawen :

The ways to go to full screen :

SHIFT+F9, SHIFT+F10, SHIFT+F11, SHIFT+F12 (can be programmed in Screen Options)

Anyway, how about this Test 3 (attached)... I'd be surprised if it makes a difference but it has one more thing like Z18.

If i go with shift+f12 it is all right.I tried shift+f9 and it works too.
Looks like only shift+f4 is bugged.
I'll try test3

Quote from Scawen :

Which version of Windows? Sorry if you've said before.

Can you get to full screen at all if you start in a window, or is it just a black window and flickering mouse whatever you do?
What if you try different SHIFT+F9-F12 keys?

Win Vista 64 Business SP2
If i start in a window and then i press shift+f4 i get flickering screen and lfs turns all black.
What do you exactly mean with the sentence in bold?

Quote from Scawen :

Does anyone else get this bug?

Yep Scawen,i suffer from this bug too with test2.

Z19_test_2 works for me

I tried running LFS with the Z17 test.exe and it didn't fix the issue.
Windows Vista 64 Business SP2.

Quote from majod :

its fine for me...perhaps you havent updated to Z19 correctly?

You are right,windows didn't overwrite the folders
BTW,im now experiencing the same problems as the others,i start lfs in fullscreen and the buttons position appear to have been shifted.

Why does the spare tyre still intersect with the plate for me?

Im not experiencing the flickering on shift+s neither the change of the button's position.
I upgraded from z18 and im running Vista 64 Business.

Quote from majod :

lol running lfs in window mode and then press shift+s - kills whole windows...everyting on screen start to flicker, windows, taskbar,...

I tried that now and nothing bad happened.

Looks sharp but the bokeh is a bit nervous.

Maybe one day...

I think that when THAT day will come this D3s will already be in the museums

I wonder if a car can get skinnier after miles of racing.
What do you think guys?
Im quite sure my FOX lost 5 kg in the last week but,since i cant drive it 24hrs a day,i can't monitor what it eats and the benefit is easily lost in a couple of days

Quote from 5haz :

I don't give a stuff how famous they are, you shouldnt punch women, or worse try to condone it.

You shouldn't punch anybody,women are not an exception.
Let's not forget they always shout for equal rights.
Let's not forget thousand of women(just for example) get beaten everyday by their husbands and no one cares about it,so i guess you got to be pretty famous to deserve appearing on TV for a punch.

Quote from Becky Rose :

Also don't forget that carbon fibre is electrically conductive, if there is a lot of static in the air (in LFS this happens a lot when passing those wind turbines at Blackwood) this can result in your car becoming positively charged. If the polarity of the charge is correct then you'll storm up the race order, but if it's the reverse polarity you're in big trouble.

Ah yes one more thing, when running a light car obviously your data packets to the server are lighter too. If too many people in the same race are using a light car then it can effect the weight of the entire internet.

Infact wasn't there that "Stock Lites" league that caused the server hosting the race to loose so much weight that midway through the championship finale an engineer had to treat the race server for anorexia which gave us that highly controversial finish to the series?

Did u make this up while sitting on the loo?
You must be seriously bored

The headline made me laugh too,to be honest.
Come on,at least he didn't rush to punch her but patiently waited his turn.
Seriously,he must have issues,i'd really want to know why he did that.
I didn't know Leona won X-Factor in 2006

I should have expected the thread to become so hilarious

Quote from JJ72 :

Am I getting the message that he is referring to carbon kits in the game?

Yeah,i have this feeling too
