Herzlichen Glückwunsch zum Geburtstag, alles Gute aus Deutschland

Bump,

i'm having similar problems now for a month or sth.
Im online, mostly cruising caused by lack of time for serious racing, and at some point the display freezes the sound repeats the last second about 3 to 5 times and i'm all the way back to windows desktop.
i've installed "Electrik Kar's" latest texture pack and via autodownload the skins of other players.
the problems started around the time of Electrik Kar's texture pack, but i seriously doubt that this is the problem, since i had long sessions on the LTC Race Server where track combos change very frequently thus producing lot's of loading big textures stress, and it ran just fine for hours.
Aside from the mentioned nothing else changed...
I don't even get a message about the incident from the "event log".

thx for your time.
Micha

try and see it this way:
You can never tell where your limits are, if you never had crossed one.
Even by accident, all experience you collect makes you a better driver.

Get well soon, and don't get too mushee about teh girls, it happens some day and it may struck you like a 3 phasic lightning.

@ tristan: The number of phases doesn't matter, it's the voltage and your body-resistance wich results the current flow of deadly energy. and of course the exposure time

Quote from danowat :

It's not the sounds, it's just the way the car moves, the roughness and rawness of it all, it's very hard to describe, but there is certainly something missing.

i assume you're missing the "contact" to other cars the little bumps and close racing in generall, the small pieces of gravel in the wheel housing, the dirt on your windshield the blue smoke from all these engines revving... etc.
i'm missing that certain something too, but hey we'll get it.
It's just a matter of time.

regards

and think about the race commentators, idk but i assume in reality they watch at least 4 groups of fighting racers and filter the "action" for us single "monitorians"...

so thumbs up!

regards

and in the end it's like on ebay where the bad guys give themselfes "good" votes...
i really don't want to bash your idea, but i'm having serious trouble about the honesty of the people...
we'll see how it develops and wish you all good things.

regards

you cannot have a clean objective unbiased rating system, if the raters are full of all sorts of emotions during the heated race...
And even after a race, assuming the race distance was long enough, the rating decision would still be emotional influenced...

i'd say it's not possible to implement that, and even if the decision was made by the machine, based on statistic data accumulated during the race, some racers would bring up arguments about unfair "rating" algorithms, like seen on the CTRA servers and their decision finding process concerning their point system...

regards

how do you plan to distinguish from "ebay"'s failed user rating system?
as far as i understood, there's nothing to back a bad rating towards anyone... (a replay or a second whitness etc.)
if i got your point completely wrong, then sorry in advance...

my 2 cents

Quote from dawesdust_12 :

Sleep = low power state, where either CPU is turned off/low speed or everything is "shut off" but RAM state is kept with power, if power is lost, Session is lost.
Hibernate = RAM state saved to hard-disk, full shutdown. No power use, can unplug PC, take it elsewhere/leave it unplugged, plug it back in, resume session on power up.

right, plus, hibernating is usefull to pause pending operations like converting large videos (wich likely take a good amount of time), because of a friend is in need of some components from my pc to determine what component died on his machine and returns it after 20 minutes.
I won't lose my 0,00% of processed video data.
i can dismantle the pc, transport it elsewhere, re-combine ALL components back toghether and continue where i "paused" the OS.
Technically a OS could be cloned that way, using the exact same parts in another machine.
i love that option, but i'm getting concerned about large memories beeing transferred to HDD and back (like 32GB) i bet a standard boot would be faster in any case, compared to hibernation.

Quote from Hyperactive :

LFS could also copy the link url to clipboard. Also, when clicking the link LFS could show a text note about it.

Or simply go windowed and open the intarweb browser automagically, as suggested earlier.

good one, AND in the event of forced breaks, the programm should continue to connect/load/prepare whatever, so i don't need to wait that time plus the forced time!

regards

that may be caused by a version conflict between lfs and tweak...

Quote from Rick. :

I'm not that good and maybe they think they can just pass without incident, but a car on my butt still causes me to make stupid mistakes, I psych myself out!

true, i had/have your problem too at least sometimes, even on the relaxed cruise servers, when i join a race for money, i get so excited, my heart feels like hopping out my throat.
But then, staying behind a equaly fast car proves race-sensitivity and a cool head.
It builds up pressure on the leading driver, which is a common tactic in motorsport.
Try to relax and ignore the follower, even if he slightly disturbs your lines, you can't say anything about it.
After all the small collisions just happen in a competition.
U'll soon feel better and get more confident after you !stayed! with someone else in close driving

So wash your hands, buckle the seatbelt, and join the madness...

?? sometimes it has a small hickup (lfs) when winamp loads a *.ape or fires the synthesizers for *.sid files but i cannot share your experience, not even beeing on a lan where the comp was strained much more overall...

regards

one thing i've noticed is some hostility towards demo's just because of their status, as if demo users can't post usable content or be subject to a nice discussion.
in short (my understanding) you're not taken serious because of your demo status.
it's like in some situations from real life like the first meeting of your girlfriends parents, some of them won't accept you even if you are the brightest one from the girlfriends chosen ones, because you don't have a dime in your pocket.
It's a oooold bad habbit, existing for ages...

regards

maybee you just happen to have the wrong OS version, try your combination of tweak and LFS on winXP...

Quote from Dennisjr13 :

You can use two sound cards? I don't see the point of why you can't play everything out of one sound card.

for the sake of the conversation, you can use a secondary soundcard for final fantasy VIII's sound output the midi-music wich uses the wave-out cannot be configured "mute" thus rendering the whole sound output of the computer mute if you don't want to listen to the music of FF VIII.
so you can use the "other" soundcard to output anything else but the FF VIII sounds...

erm, guys?
steam is just outdated, and therefore called 'failed'
think a few genarations further and our grandchildren might say the same about todays petrol/diesel(un/watered)/natural gas/powercells (alcohol/hydrogen)...

failed concepts?

i disagree, because it was the best that science could offer (maybee not) but what the industry tought was most 'money making successful'.

so could we please stop flamming ourselfes about history?

thanks!

true but in the end it could be made and held down-compatible to earlier versions...

regards

vote for external replay watching programm (like the model viewer) with some more controls, like fast forward/reverse...

well, get a borrowed one from a friend, we even changed a complete comp with some friends just to figure out (then in the end) that it was the power cable :S

regards

any track will do just fine, it's not really the track that will teach you drifting, more like your understanding of wieght shift and rythm.

you guys realize that it was a render?

try a spare gfxcard, and a pc-hardwaremonitor-plotter (temperatures-measurement and writing them into a file).
let things go as usually and view the file after a crash...

Quote from tristancliffe :

...they are decent cars...

Quote from tristancliffe :

But I'm sure you knew that, and weren't making yourself look like an idiot by accident.

Quote from tristancliffe :

The 911 is, but only because it's one of the few cars that have taken over 30 years of development to make them work.

You care to explain the last statement?

then i suggest you find some reasonable people to race on a daily basis.
really you don't need to wonder if you get trown out if you to race with "hot-shots"
so don't take that audience to seriously.

regards
