The barriers in LFS are nothing, GTA has killer swingsets:






@hyperactive:
I'm not sure if the game works without installing both, but you don't need to be logged in to play offline.

For the ati people, try the 8.12 beta drivers:

It fixed the crashes for me and gave a huge performance boost. Not blazing fast, but playable at 1680x1050 (hd3850).

So much for securom... It's almost fully cracked, within 2 days Thank you Cockstar for annoying honest buyers. I have yet to check it myself, but ive seen reports of noticable better performance on the cracked version as well

The problem with tire physics is that there isn't a good allround model to use. Basically every tire model is based on a solid static ground. Pacejka is very common for example, it performs well on a solid ground, but only if you feed it with a large number of correct tire parameters. One wrong number and the results are horrible. And that's just on static solid ground. Imagine the amount of parameters you'll need to model a tire on different surfaces. And then deformable surfaces...

Quote from Crashgate3 :haha, are these people calling it cheating the same people that insist a pad is just as good as mouse & keyboard?

Well, it's a bit like participating the Paralympics without being disabled in any way.
I don't like gamepads at all

Some Steam gamed DO come with additional copy protection crap. Rockstar even says that the Steam version will come with additional DRM crap and that uninstalling the game will not remove securom.

The Games for Windows Live stuff is for online playing, it has nothing to do with DRM. It's a bit like Steam, but from Microsoft. It's used to distribute game updates etc.
Rockstar social club is a service from Rockstar, where you can track online scores.
Online activation is something else, it's part of Securom. Without it, you can't play at all. Every time you install the game on another PC, you'll have to do this. Some games limit the amount of times you can install the game, i.e. after 5 installs it locks up and becomes unusable.

BTW, Steam itself is a laugh when it comes to security. Even I was able to find a way to play every Valve game with an account that only had CS 1.6 on it. Online didn't work all the time, but offline did.

Why I hate securom? It has shown in the past that it conflicts with virtual cd drives and development tools. I'm a software engineer... My pc is filled with dev tools. Other than that, I don't like hidden malware on my pc.

Quote from Velociround :STEAM version of GTA IV will not use SecuRom (kind of obviously)
Nor do any other game on steam use any kind of protection system. And I just love that

It will, just not the CD check. It still uses the required online activation and instead of the CD check, it checks for a valid Steam account.
Quote from IGN interview with Rockstar :
Is this game going to be available on Steam? And if you are using SecuROM on the retail version, will it also be a part of the any version distributed digitally? Either via Steam or other?

Rockstar: All versions of the game will use SecuROM functionality. Steam will requires an extra layer of code to purchase and buy the game via Steam. Since Steam requires a login it will not have install limits that some other Digital Download copies will.

And there are more games with DRM (other than Steams own validation), like BioShock demo (a free demo FFS!):
Quote from http://store.steampowered.com/app/7710/ :Note: Contains SecuROM copy control software. Installations limited to five PCs per license

Securom has a very bad reputation, just take a look at the wikipedia page. I think it's ridiculous that honest paying customers are stuffed up with something that looks a lot like a virus.

And i've read that it uses SecuRom illepall When will developers learn that copy protection doesn't work at all :/ Honest buyers are stuffed with some piece of shit malware and are forced to keep the dvd inserted, warez users can play without all that crap :/

I usually get well over 1 MB/s when downloading from Steam. Can't really call that slow. Going to several stores to find out they don't have it ("yes, we will have it tomorrow") isn't exactly faster, and ordering online takes at least a full day.
Although I don't like Steam at all (i don't like the fact that some company can decide if I'm allowed to play a game or not), I can't call it slow.

Is it really a game? It looks more like a dynamic deformable terrain techdemo.
Dynamic deformable terrain is still a challenge, so it's good to see that there is a working demonstration. You'll probably see it in some future games (new Red Faction?).

ah. infinite acceleration ftw.

If it doesn't compile with dev-c++, it won't magically compile with vs2008. Unless you need MFC classes, but then I would suggest finding an alternative to what you need instead.
