Hmmm, another Athlon...

NO not the agp aperture size caused the stuttering

I checked with apg aperture size 64, but I tested it only for 1 hour, so not too much, it was ok during this time. On the weekend I will test it more and more...

ok, so my hints are: memory timings, and agp aperture size. Maybe I should set it lower, I read somewhere today, that 64 is a good value for it... I will try this first.

86 yrs nice :gandalf: :bowdown:

OK, I will make the analysis with Aida when I get home (+5 hours from now). than we will see... at least I hope...

Yes, I have nForce mobo. And other (but different) pairs are that Albieg and Micha has ATI, and Nick and me have nVidia... aaand as I see Albieg and me have VMWare (but I have just installed it about a month ago). But Albieg has no problem .

here is the link to aida

( another idea: maybe we should check the memory timings, when we have this hw info generated )

I have Creative Audigy2 audio - I disabled the integrated sound in bios - so it is different too.

And I have this 'freeze' only in lfs . Ok, mostly I am playing with age of kings if not with lfs, so not too much experience in other games. Ah and some Enemy Territory too, but far not as much as lfs and aok.

The only common thing I found is the Athlon XP system. But there must be something else I don't think that only we have this kind of CPU...

[ one good sideeffect of all this testings is that i improved my lap time on AS Nat with FZR , this is my 'testcombo'. ]

it's freezing again
so it is not the IDE drivers...
i should check with an old geforce driver, but i think Micha has ATI, so I don't think that this will help...
Hmmm...

Hi Micha,

I hope I get it right, and you are looking for this info:
Control Panel/System/Hardware tab/Device Manager
IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers/NVIDIA nForce2 ATA Controller - properties, Drivers, and here you can see the versions.

But if you use MS IDE drivers, than you don't see "NVIDIA nForce2 ATA Controller" under IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers. (Yesterday I switched back to the Standard IDE Controllers (MS) (just uninstalled the nForce2 ones), and was testing about 2 hours, and no freezes, but I should test it much more, so I will play today too . )

Hello Nick and all helping racers !

I have the same problem. As I checked your list of the pc's hw and sw components, i realized that the common is the Forceware 93.71. I have a much older gfx card: geforce 4 ti 4200, so maybe I will try to use an older driver. I really appreciate if anyone here can suggest me a suitable driver (w/ dl link ) for this card.
I have this problem since about a year too. A few months ago I reinstalled my Win, to check if it caused by any background process, but the same freezing occurred. (I just installed the hw drivers, and no anti virus sw, no firewall when I tried lfs) I thing my freezes are not as frequent as in Your case, but I usually get one freeze per lfs running. I dropped from one or two olfsl races due to this in the past . When it freezes, the sound is repeating, the HDD lights are on, so the same...
Another ~common thing is I have Athlon system (Barton 3200) on nForce mb.
shortly my system: Asus A7N8X, Barton 3200 (no oc), 2x512M ddr400, MSI nVidia Gef4 Ti4200 (AGP 4x), 2HDD, 1DVD RW, power supply: 400W.

I have another idea, maybe the IDE driver... Nick please check which version You have. Mine is: NVIDIA nForce2 ATA Controller, Version: 5.10.2600.518. Provide: NVIDIA. Maybe I will try to roll back to Microsoft one...

so for me:
- check with _old_ gfx driver
- roll back ide driver to MS drivers... (as I remember, i found this new ide drivers at nvidia about the same time when freezes started, but I was not playing every day lfs...)

I hope we found out the solution.

Quote from Rascar13 :

look at the cars both in and out... they are so light and blue colour. !!a bug!! i think

Update your video drivers. I got the same light colors, updated the forceware, and wow

It was a great event. In t2 i was too cautious, and loose my second place . So I was triing to find a way to beat Wakey, and get back my position. But He was closing doors greatly and fairly it was until the 19-20th lap.Unfortunatelly i made some mistakes after that lap :drunk: (21-27th), I was loosing time, and NASSA Osoi has arrived, and on my pit-lap, He was passing me. I made a quick pit due to the clean race , and tried to get back to the top . As I realised, not only me who made mistakes :rolleyes: , so finally I managed to get back my second place. (and made the same best lap as nilo ) Everybody was fair to each others, so it was fun to race.

Congrats to nilo, and thanks to everyone who was on the server, thx Ant for organising this event. :up:

Merry Christmas to all racers in lfs .

Quote from Becky Rose :

...
Who have I missed?

What do you thing about Trulli and Fisichella? (They are not in the poll either. )

From the list I prefer Villeneuve, it is only sympathy.

Grats Scawen! Best wishes to the family

[ I tried to set it via controllers, I assigned to some function to these keys, verified, and after it delete the keys, and it was still not ok, only this cfg.txt modification had been worked for me ]

It is on the 4players.de

http://4players.de/rendersite. ... T=117&DOWNLOADID=6818

Having the same problem, but i have deleted ALL the controls now
Previously it was working fine, but from a while it works only with shift.
maybe the 'reinstall' s2 will help...

Which file is holding this key assingnmenst? Maybe i should check it. hmm

--------
breaking news:
I have managed this I write down the solution if someone will have the same issue.

Finally i found these lines in cfg.txt:

KAC_KBS_L -1 74
KAC_KBS_R -1 75

the numbers were something different (~280) but i checked this in my friends cfg, and put these numbers into mine, and now it is ok. Thanks for the audience .

Thanks Scawen

this is the greatest advertisement for lfs , i think if any 'outsider' see it, will run to buy lfs license

awesome work, thx
