Quote from Stephanie :I click on gamepads/joystick in the controls options I use a Playstation 3 controller. It works perfectly in a similar game called Level-R. In LFS it shows me that the gamepad is there but when i click on gamepad/joystick the game flickers, re-appears for a second then I get the LFS encountered a problem error that people so often see on their XP machine. Is there anything I can do? HI Stephanie, welcome in here! (lugalug from Level R) (just in to say hello, I use a wheel so cannot help you... ) Anyway found this http://www.lfsforum.net/showth ... mp;highlight=PS3+problems maybe it will help...
