I have problems too with LFS Changing resolution.

Something else.
I have got a MSI Radeon HD 4850 now.
I tried LFS before reinstalling my PC, and it did NOT crash.

Try this and see if it solves your problem:
- Go to the LFS folder. Right mouse click on "LFS.exe", go to "Compatibility" tab, and checkmark Disable visual themes. Click [Ok], open the game and verify if this fixed your problem.

is perfect path

cant open something

A downloaded skin is corrupted I think. Go to you skins_x or skins_y folder..
Depending if you use high res downloads - skins_y = hi res

Look for that filename "FXO_JackgBlack" and DELETE it. next time it needs to download it should be ok.

ok tnx

Regarding the Windows 7 thing...
You shouldn't be installing Vista drivers... :rollseyes:
Windows 7 automatically gets updates from microsoft for your nvidia card, I have a 9800GT which works fine with Windows 7!

You should have got a WDDM v1.1 update through Windows Update for GeForce 8, 9, and 200-series DirectX 10 GPUs.
For others you would have got a WDDM v1.0 update for GeForce 6 and 7-series DirectX 9 GPUs.

It is in the Optional Updates section in Windows Updates. (I always install optional updates aswell as important ones)
I think you need to install the WDDM v1.0 first then the v1.1, but I'm not sure...

I would recommend checking for updates and installing the WDDM drivers for your card. (and please don't EVER install drivers from previous versions of windows, there will always be drivers for big companys sent through Windows Update automatically - especially graphics card drivers)

Take a look at your updates when you install them and even check your Installed Updates history before you get drivers from a previous versions of Windows for a new Version.

P.S. I am a Computer Technican working towards a Information Technology Administrator (I am only 16, yes... )

Quote from Jamesisinthehouse12 :

I already know, I always install optional updates too

The Windows 7 drivers works ok for me too, but I tested both drivers and the WDDM 1.1 ones seem to be a lot slower on many games in my computer than the Vista 182.06 ones. Also, these WDDM drivers are 179.xx for Windows 7 and, as far as I know, doesn't have PhysX, while the latest Vista ones are 182.08 and comes with PhysX.

Anyway, thanks for the heads up.

PS: Today I went to the nVidia website, and the new drivers for Windows 7 are released for download! I was just about to check for the latest Vista driver when I saw "Windows 7" on the list.
Even though the drivers are still 181.71 beta (which doesn't really matter much since the OS is beta too), I think they are worth trying. I'm downloading it now.

I'm really sorry for the off topic

Here's some reasons why it's better to run WDDM 1.1 drivers in Windows 7, than 1.0 ones.

Quote :

So what do you get with WDDM 1.1? For starters, the DWM will use DirectX 10 instead of 9 and offer some nice performance enhancements. DWM will now use the same consistent amount of system memory no matter how many windows are open. Your graphics card memory usage will still increase as you open more windows, but that amount of memory is cut in half relative to Vista.

The end result is that Windows 7 will use dramatically less memory as you open additional windows on your desktop. It should also be faster and more efficient at rendering the desktop.

Windows 7 will introduce Direct2D, a sort of accelerated 2D replacement for GDI used for drawing 2D graphics, lines, splines, etc. It runs on top of Direct3D 10 and requires WDDM 1.1 drivers. This has been long awaited, and future applications should see snappier windows performance in standard applications, not just 3D apps.

DirectX 10 games should see a performance improvement with WDDM 1.1 drivers, mostly centered around memory management. It's still far too early for Microsoft to share any sort of numbers, but it seems to suggest that the performance difference will vary by title.

Found Bug:

There is a strange bug that occurs from time to time on my machine, afaik it only does in Z10. Mostly at the start of a race, and I'm quite sure only when extra autoX objects were on the track, LFS crashes, or to say it in a more fitting way, it seems to get stuck in an endless loop. Sound loops, and the FFB too. I made a vid with my digicam.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJelMRpariM

I can change between different apps via alt-tab (the LFS soundloop disappears), i can control Winamp via my keyboard (switch songs, pause), everything except LFS seems to work normal, but it will always stay onscreen.

Alt-F4 won't close it, nor does the Task-Manager help because I can't see it. Only thing I can do is restart the PC via its button.

@ Whiskey: It is, watch the vid

Set task manager to always on top and you won't need to restart using the button.

AI ALWAYS uses your helmet.

Yes, we need option "AI use player helmet : yes/no".

That's absurd, there are aspects more important than that. People normally don't pay attention to the AI helmets, looking if they are same or not.

Yes, for you it does not matter.
And guys, pls, stop with OT...

I think I had another crash similar to the one in the Video I posted above, but this time I had LFS in window mode (watching a replay), so i could close it.

Event Manager shows me this info:
