Quote from SF-Turdtron :

It happens when: I do a lengthy burnout, I have a high speed crash, just when I'm driving around.


Any tracks, mainly SO though..I have not overclocked my CPU, but it could be my GPU as its quite old (GeForce 6200). Ive tested my RAM, and that 100% ok.

are you getting every time the same crash address / crash report, if not can you upload 2 or 3 more ?

if you are getting sort of random crash address, just a note of out dated drivers:

some outdate driver:
bios: from 1/14/2004
a new one is over here:
http://www.asrock.com/mb/download.asp?Model=K7S41&o=BIOS

GPU: Nvidia 6200 (xp 32-bit)
http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_197.45_whql.html
( i know that yours is not too old, but you can allways give it ago)

i wasnt sure about the audio drivers but it looked like they where from 2004 too.

EDIT: As far as i can see does Bios V1.00 not fully support the AMD 3000+, you might want to start updating your bios

Since Z30, I have been experiencing sudden lack of control like you get running more than one monitor and your cursor is in the wrong monitor.

Everything is okay most of the time and by clicking on the screen it repairs the situation.
I tried the CTRL+C to clip the mouse to the screen and that didn't work so, I went out and bought a new mouse/keyboard today.

Later the same thing happened both in windowed view and a 'minimize' function happened during 'full screen'.

Any help would be appreciated please, I don't know if this is a bug but it didn't happen at all running under Z28. All multiplayer of course.

O.S. is XPpro. Card is Nvidea 8800gt 3800 dual core cpu. 2gig RAM

Probably you just have to press Shift+Z (or was it Ctrl+Z ?) in LFS

There are two possible reasons for this, and you must be in windowed mode for both:
- if not clipped to the window, the mouse cursor can go outside of the LFS window and then you get no mouse function in the game.
- if clipped to the window, upon reaching the edge of the window, will turn into a resize cursor instead and you get no mouse function in the game (very annoying).

It happens in Z28 in windowed mode too, including windowed-but-maximised. The best fix is to shift-f4 into the true full screen mode where the mouse cursor cannot misbehave. If you absolutely must run windowed, afaik there is no cure (please change window style to one without resize controls).

Facebook had some problems getting the focus when you were receiving a new message. Make sure you have nothing to your background that involves with it. Also this is not a "Crash" so it shouldnt belong here, anyway!

just had first crash for over 12 months,running z31,e6600 cpu @ 3.2 (no probs for 4 years) nvidia 8800gt gfx and 6 gb mem

Any way to reproduce it?

Was it in 0.6A1? While driving / entry screen / etc?

Problem is, that crash is not in the LFS module - it was in d3d8.dll. Might have been caused by LFS but I can't get any info from that address.

Tango, I'm just wondering if your computer might be overheating or something like that. I guess it's not overclocked - if so then that would be the most obvious reason. Have you blown out the dust inside recently? I hope there isn't 4 years of dust in the fans and cooling fins.

It just seems unlikely that LFS can really cause crashes in all those funny places. Your last 3 posts are crash reports from 3 different Microsoft modules (called by LFS). I'm just supposing this might be a hardware problem rather than a MS or LFS bug.

Scawen, would it be possible to make LFS save dumps into subfolder of it's main folder, like some Steam games do (for example, Garry's Mod)? That would make finding dump files a lot easier for most people.

0.6A3:

Wrote "/end" in my server when I was still on track. Don't send window appeared.

It didn't say the address, so I pressed debug, and Visual Studio came up with this address:

Hope it helps.

I can see the line where it happened, but I can't see why that value would be zero at that time, so could you give me some more details about exactly what was happening at the time?

- Were you running a server in your client LFS? So that was the only LFS running on your computer at the time? No dedicated server involved?
- Were you running in dedicated mode or just normal mode, where you can drive on the server?
- Which track and config was selected at the time?
- Was there a layout loaded?
- Any other cars on the track or was it just you?
- Could the track have been changing? Someone or InSim selecting a track?

To try and reproduce the bug I'd just like as much info as possible.

Thanks.

EDIT : I have added a simple line of code to check if this operation is safe, so that divide by zero can no longer happen. Let's hope that was the only possible consequence of the unexpected state your LFS was in at that point.

My LFS crashed when I tried to load a layout in multiplayer. Track BL3. I was there with one player.

It's not a crash report, but...
My last LFS version was 0.6B, updated to 0.6E.
I went to single player, tried to join the track and i got a CAR ERROR. I went to available cars and i saw that i just could take xfg, xrg or fbm.
So, "i'm at demo licence!" i thought. I took the XFG car, joined the track, made a few laps an recorded the replay.

What i get if i try to replay it is replay OOS ERROR

Once you updated your LFS, your license reverted back to demo, you have to re-activate it. That's why you got your error because your last used car was other than demo ones.
