No, read post #10.

He doesn't have a credit card after all, it's an ATM card.
(lol I have this one too, not good for the job )

I'm not a network guru either, I just followed the tutorial for my rooter and since this setup works for me for over two years now, I left it this way.

Tbh, my motivation for research and trying new ways of doing things vanishes as soon as I have my job done (ie don't fix it if it is already working).

But surely I don't want to keep doing things wrong just cause they work, so I'll try you way also

Use MoneyBookers then.

You just make a bank to bank transfer actually.
It takes a liitle longer than the credit card way (3-5 days) but it works just fine.

Many of us bought LFS this way

Did you make a static IP first?

Frst do this http://portforward.com/networking/staticip.htm

then what Davo said http://portforward.com/english ... Live_For_Speed_Server.htm

Here are some screenies of how things should be like in Windows to have a static IP

Widdowmaker, I totally understand what you are saying and you have some strong points but as a personal opinion of course I'd rather unbind the reset button once and for all.

Yes, it seems harsh to shift-s if you flip over, but it adds a liitle thrill to the game not having the reset option. Plus no more popping cars in the middle of the chicanes.

And tbh I think Scawen removed that mid-option reset (reset car but no fixed damage) on purpose, as a way to discourage us from using it.

please read the first post

It's multiplayer incompatible with W, so just create a copy of your LFS folder and apply the patch there. Then you can have two independent LFS installations to do your testing.

Quote from Scawen :

Don't be worried. As some others have answered already, it's not about that kind of laptime balancing. It's impossible to balance exactly a FWD, RWD and a AWD car. You can see we aren't trying to do something like that, and that's why the balancing is global and not track specific. The problem was that the FXO was seconds ahead on every track - so if you liked RWD you would lose to an FXO, guaranteed, no matter where you raced! And that's not how we wanted it. Now one car or another has strengths and weaknesses at different tracks.

These are Scawen's thoughts about balancing and I totally agree with him.
Dynamically or track specific changed handicaps is a wrong idea imo

The best you could do imo is to download the current full LFS_W and make a fresh installation.

Then, since you can have two LFS instances open at the same time, launch your old demo LFS, press shift-F4 to switch to window mode and launch the fresh LFS_W installment also. Press shift-F4 again and now you can visually copy paste the settings from one window to another.


EDIT
OK, I thought you messed up the settings files but it seems that it's the famous limiter trouble again.
Disregard the above and just tap the "L" button as Btoryo said.

the current models available for AGP are
6600/GT, 6800/GT, 7600/GT, & ATIX1950

ther 6600 gt is a fantastic low cost performer imo, so +1 to the above
it's a huge upgrade from the 5200

Well, wsinda is too modest to give you a link for his exelent tool , so I'll fill in the gap http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=20056

It's pretty easy to do this actually, see this post http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?p=318475#post318475

and this http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?p=319242#post319242

All you need to know is the exact model of your router, and the rest is piece of cake if you follow the instructions of the site.

I'm insisting on this solution because it's an one time hassle only, but the benefits are for veeery long term.

But if the server is just for you why are you looking for a dedicated 24/7 server?

Simply one of you will start a multiplayer game, password protected and the other one will join.

Even if you have only 128 kbits upload you can host up to 5 cars with no lag at all.

Or am I missing something?

The colors in your name eat up space.
Your name can have 23 characters, but each change of color needs 2 additional characters.

So, if you use something like Pearcy althought there are only 6 characters there they count as 18.

But keep in mind that only the color change needs 2 additional charaters.
So if you have Pearcy it uses only 8 characters (6+2)

not to mention this very site also

And to continue from this http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?p=365878#post365878 I took the time to investigate the whole thing and in my case it was a parasite after all (worm/trojan) that was causing the problem.

Yep, it happens to the best of us

The problem is that my antivirus (avast) didn't located it, although I did more than one whole disk scans, but there is a very good service by kaspersky, a free online antivirus scanner http://www.kaspersky.com/virusscanner . (You don't have to be online during the scan, you just download the program and the signatures and then it searches your disks locally)

Download it and let it scan your whole PC, then you can manually delete the parasites.

Check your firewall/avirus/ad-blocking extensions etc.

It works fine on all browsers guaranteed.

Congrats for your S2 license

How did this problem solved after all?

Quote from hwestbeek :

Hi, yeah I've lost the sound, so could you please tell me where i can download it, thanx a million cause this BF1 sound sux

Here you go http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=21896

It happens to me also from time to time to me.
The screen locks and the sound is having a constant loop.
It doesn't seem to be hardware related, and it's not from the current patch either.

I haven't found out a pattern that causes it, but I think it happens more often when I change the cars/tracks/setups all the time, almost like it has something to do with mouse clicks, but I can't really determine the true cause.

The good news
I have found out though that if you press ctrl-shift and esc immediatelly after the freeze happens, 9 out of 10 times you 'll bring the task manager in front and then you can end the LFS process from there, saving the hard reset. Then you can restart LFS and continue playing, cause the computer is just fine, no need even for soft reset.

A league similar to what you are looking for is this http://www.lfs-league.com/calender.php


*another thought*
But if you already are in a team meaning you already have a core of some racers available, why don't you just start your own league?

I don't have Windows Vista, but from a little googling here is how you can disable the Data Execution Prevention service in Vista. http://www.realtime-vista.com/ ... _data_execution_preve.htm

Quote :

1.From the Start menu, select "All Programs", then "Accessories" and right-click on the "Command Prompt" shortcut and choose "Run As Administrator"
2. Wait for the command prompt window to open and type (or simply paste and then press enter) the following line.
bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx AlwaysOff

Hope it helps

For a little more info see here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_Execution_Prevention

MoneyBookers is ok. I bought my license this way and a friend of mine did also. No worries...

For the helmet have a look at the skin section of this forum http://www.lfsforum.net/forumdisplay.php?f=29 if there is one already, or make a request there for a new one.

The wheel though is not skinable. It's a dds file, so you have to replace a file in your DDS folder. Before you do this BACKUP YOUR DDS FOLDER.

Have a look here for some textures and much more http://www.marcls-home.de/file ... id=8&p13_sectionid=67

No, this line goes together with the virtual clocks in the custom view

If you want to hide it you have to disable the virtual clocks and leave only the reals on.

About the speedometer now, there is an option in Display Settings (4th from the top) called "Digital speedo" set it to yes to have a digital speedometer instead of the analogue. (much more convenient imo)

So in short is no & no, but there are some alternatives

Quote from battle :

why publish it all if it's half work?

lol, It's funny that an LFS user has this query...

Would you like to had to wait to play LFS until it was totally finished?
