Version X Crashing

I can't find the problem, everything freezes and I have to reboot my computer.
No messages or nothing...
I have updated all drivers before when I had two soundcards active it crashed more frequently, now it seems to crash once every day.
What did the guys do with the X version, I didnt have any problem with the other versions?

I think the point system is fair and good, I got two points last night even if my placing was 10th or something.

There is just one little bug, you should get -1 point for passing a car before T1 maybe that would cool down all "IWannaBeFirstInT1" drivers. (I know this would never work to implement.!)

I had problems with freezing LFS becouse I had my internal and external audio card on.
After I turned the internal one of in bios the freezing was gone.

Do you have more than one soundcard?
Didnt find anyone in your list, but youll have one internal on your motherboard.
My PC has one internal and one external, I shutted down the internal one in bios and havent had any freezes since then... 2-3h driving.

This is making me so dissapointed, im not able to run LFS anymore.
It crashes after 5-10min, then It can be working for hours.
Before it killed my PC to reboot, but now after all updates I have done it "only" freezes and I have to switch (alt+tab) and wait to windows.
There is no error messages, this problem came after upgrade to version X.
I had no crashes with version W and before that.

That's all for me...

Didnt I read somewhere to disable internal Audio card if you have a external one...
Hmm... I have that, let's try...

LFS R.I.P or maybe not...

EDIT:
I think the sound card issue solved the problem, no crashes after I turned the internal card of in bios.

Did you guys with problems have this on ConeDodgers servers or did the server have InSim messages?
Couse my problems dissapered when I went to another server... :S

The first thing that comes up in my mind is that ConeDodgers use InSim stuff...

Ok, I was on a server with 10ppl right now...
Computer freezed and then restarted, I have same applications on as before X.
I was monitoring my CPU and GPU temp, non of them was higher than idle.
Something weird is going on, I have been running X before today without problems...
But today I had 4 freezes already.

hmmm...

Ofcourse it can't be as a negative thing that makes you blind...
But as Dajmin said, out on the sides and maybe 150 - 200m away...

Does anyone know if this is possible to create that effect in a graphic engine?

Ps. Can anyone see if those images are photoshop products?... im starting to belive they are...

Quote from mikey_G :So you could never see your braking and turn in points totally focussed until it's too late?

Exactly...
mike20002

Thats why I wanted to call it an "option" ...
You could choose where to have focus point and how deep you want the DOF to be.
I can't see how it should work if LFS graphics engine is goint to decide where to put focus...
You have to decide that and how deep you want the dof to be.
And as an option you could turn it off.... I think it would eat GPU alot....


/Micke

PS. And offcourse it's eyecandy...
Ps2. If I had it I would put it on 1m deep and 1m infront of my hood.
I want DOF (Depth of field)

Saw some pictures from bike simulator and they had used DOF ( depth of field) and it looks so nice...
I hope they implementate that option to LFS too...

Yup, I can admit that I found this thread becouse of the other thread but I would never have seen this thread else...
And Yes, he get's my support but still...

He makes really good driveble setups and has done that before I got involved with R4R... I have driven other good setups, but never known where they come from...

Quote from MR_B :Gentlefoot's always been good with the old setup business. I'm sure he'd be up for it!

I must say Gentlefoot too... if I give him a combo, he fixes a set and I do new PB's... happens every time...

Quote from wheel4hummer :Like what? Just increase Anistropic filtering to 16x and Anti Aliasing to ~4x.

I have tryed that, but it doesnt seem like the settings change anything in LFS.
Im using nVidia Forceware 97.92.
