Gutholz, your PDF seems to have been printed in reverse... page 1 is at the bottom.

There's already wind which affects your speed. I believe the direction is varied on race start.

Quote from Forbin :Spoken like someone who doesn't understand cryptography.

...

That's only true if you don't have access to the secret key. Obviously we need access to the key else we couldn't view the replay. Burying it inside an exe is not the same as keeping it secret.

Also MD5, SHA-1, and SHA-2 are hash functions, not used for encrypting data.

It was possibly in Victor's "website refresh" sub-forum that either no longer exists or is private.

Is your in-game feedback strength high enough?
There are no artificial kerb or collision effects in LFS.

Heh, never knew I could change it. Good job I've always been happy with 900°...

if (line.Substring(0, 6) == "Support")

"Support" is 7 characters, not 6.

Quote from Scawen :PeterN, which version of Wine are you using that works well?

I'm using wine 1.4.1. I have no wine dll overrides set.
I tested removing the d3d files from my fake system32 folder and indeed had lots of errors with textures.

Hmm, apparently I already have these files installed which explains why it "just worked" for me. I don't remember installing them but I suppose I must have at some point :-)
0.1% fuel + ignition + multiplayer/replay = looks like hacks

Found this out today. When a player is down to 0.1% fuel and tries to conserve it to get to pits by switching ignition on & off, in multiplayer and in their replay their car will jump in revs & speed and look exactly like the player is using speed hacks.

Not a huge problem game-wise but could be awkward for players accused of cheating.

Just tried it with wine and default textures, seems to work fine and well

Yeah, E17 worked fine on Linux when I tested it briefly.

If you want some new content, you should probably start by buying the game...

Probably need to remove ENBSeries' d3d9.dll. This wouldn't've worked with pre-DX9 LFS without the d3d8 wrapper.

Just tested with SoftTH and it seems to hold up as well now, though I'm not using the same configuration as before.

Pleased to report my crash is now fixed with this version :-D

Hmm, needs game graphics options as stretched across 5040x1050 isn't the best and was a bit sluggish. Totally feels like Carmageddon though!

It's on Humble Bundle only via an email sent to Kickstarter supporters, not on the main site.

Yes, LFS is either in a window or minimized when it happens.

You also need to grab a copy of DebugView from sysinternals.

I think it had something to do with running 32 vs 64bit versions of Windows 7, as I'm on 64bit and you were on 32bit. On the other hand, LFS wasn't DX9-native then either.

Other than the exception code (which is rather generic) I don't see a connection, and the fault offset is different. However I just enabled dx9 debugging (apparently it is doing something on Windows 7 now... what the heck?) and got this:

[5716] Direct3D9: (ERROR) :Lost due to display uniqueness change
[5716] Direct3D9: (INFO) DI threading stopped

Quote from Matrixi :Guess you've never used Bluetooth in W8 then. Select BT from the desktop and it brings you in to the metro interface devices list, there's no more desktop equivalent control panel for it.

Available BT settings in W7
Just a devices menu in W8

That doesn't look like the standard Bluetooth stack in Windows 7 to be honest. I don't get anything like that window, and I can't imagine Microsoft ever using rounded buttons like that.

Probably another factor is you are sitting in a seat, simulating sitting in a seat, instead of sitting in a seat, simulating walking, running and jumping around.
