Bug?: In the setup.cfg in the latest dedicated server for demo, I put /track=BL1R and it shows up as BL1 in dedicated host, not BL1R like in the setup config
when i play LFS Z10 my fps is extremely low when i was working in win XP my fps was around 15 but now that i'm working within Vita my fps is around 3. And that is set at bare min.
I had the same problem... In XP I had around 30fps, in Vista (and then Seven) no more than 10, sometimes 3/5.
Having a Nvidia, I downloaded nHancer and set it for the best performance/quality (there's an how-to somewhere... IIRC it was something like "How to make LFS look better"). The FPS went up a lot... But it wasn't the same as XP. So, in the properties of LFS, I turned on "Run as administrator" and "Disable all graphic themes" -something like that-. The FPS went up to 30, the same as XP. But it reached 120+fps when I did a little mod... I got rid of my 256mb "Nvidia GeForce 7500LE" and bought myself a "Palit Radeon HD4650 Super+ 1gb"
I'll write something more precise when I will be at the PC (iPhone now)...
But I have to ask you: specs of your PC? What's your graphic card?
For some reason it happened with me as well. I have my main Z10 on my home PC (with WinXP) and I get a fps between 15 and 35 fps. At my work PC (with Vista), no more than 10, and sometimes not even 2 fps.
about timeouts... its because of textures size... if you use high resolution dds (they are big files) lfs will timeout before it will load all textures... it happens to me very often... and this is slightly anoying really .... i don't know but looks like lfs stops sending/recreiving packects to/from host and that is direct reason for timeouts... what is the timeout margin in lfs? 10s and u timeout? maybe it could be increased a little of disabled during track loads/changes
Almost same setup here, but i got only 1gb RAM ddr1 and 40gb HDD, using Windows xp sp3.
I run at 50fps medium (tops at 80 mins at 35)
very playable, on BLGP with 8 cars on grid i get 15 =D
Wrong subforum, dont post that here. Will start a whole convo about it in a test patch forum
Any more updates to patches? or is it gonna stop at z10 forever? =)
I noticed that when i ALT + TAB back to LFS it takes a few seconds from black screen to show anything, not sure if this is just z10, z, or windows 7. Anyone else get this?
LFS has always been that way AFAICT. Shift-F4 is the recommended way to switch between windowed and FS mode, anything else is not guaranteed to work properly (though sometimes it does).
