After installing patch Q i've had some problems with Live for Speed. It's like the game is REALLY putting load on my CPU. When im online with a full server sometimes the game will "freeze/lock up" for 5 - 10 seconds with the sound looping. Then it sounds like one of the fans inside my computer revs up and then the game returns to normal speed (with me crashed all over ofcourse).
This also happen sometimes when watching a replay with loads of cars in it. Or racing offline with all the AI.
This didn't ever happen before patch Q.

I tried to reinstall LiveforSpeed ie. redownload and patch Q as my old LFS folder was quite old with loads of crap in it.
Also tried going back to older gfx drivers and that seemed to help a little. Doesn't "freeze/lock up" as often now.

My specs:
Intel P4 2.8ghz (533mhz) Northwood socket 478
MSI motherboard 865PE Neo 2-V
Club3d nvidia GeForce 6600GT 128mb AGPx8
2x 512mb Kingston Value DDR3200
windows xp sp2
nvidia forceware 77.72 whql gfx drivers

I will try the setup, thanks

I also hate the snap oversteer

I would like to see something that would compete with the UF1000... something like a Fiat 500. Its small like the UF1, got around the same hp and is RWD so RWD people can get into mini door to door racing

In turbo cars you can get ekstra power if you can spool up the turbo before the green light.

seems to me like you get a better start spinning the wheels. The car is hard to control yes, and when it looks like its going to act funny, then let off the gas a little.

with some practice you will make som good starts

You all deserve a break

But if you get bored I've attached a suggestion for a new Westhill config, the 'North Loop'

+1

now THAT would be an awesome layout

Just wondering

This problem started after I installed the Q patch.

When on an online server and the server is either voted to end race or is forced to end by the admin, and we go to the setup screen where track, laps and wind is chosen. The game freezes and about 10 seconds later Im at the select server screen with the message "you've lost connection to the server"

This has happened several times now. 3 times in a row last monday at Nations Cup. Lost connection, logged back on... 5 seconds later, lost connection, logged back on etc.

anyone else experienced this and know how to solve it?

I blame the tire modeling. I get better traction at optimal tire temp. with hybrid tires on the XRG than I do with normal tires??

Now that doesnt make sense to me, as the normal tires are road tires and hybrid tires are made for rallying on both gravel and tarmac, and there fore the threads are larger on the hybrids?

Ive driven 200hp RWD cars and none of them have been as slippery and tail happy as the RWD cars in LFS. I dont think the tire model is fully developed yet.

Where at alpha stage so a lot of things can change before S2 final
