Bug or VGA problem?
I just installed the new update of the LFS and have an intrestng problem, all of the cars are looks gray and when I'm driving around the track there are purple, pink and blue thingy around the car what I just can't describe...

Vga or bug or whatever is that?

Thx

~Simon
OS? Does everything else look gray or colored?
No, everything else looks normal, I only got problems with the car and the helmet, I wish I could show a picture but I'm a newbie in this game :T
Oh, and I'm on Win 7
try to do a directx update and also your graphic drivers.
this is usually caused by missing dll's.
1. My video card runs with the newest driver
2. Installed the newest Directx 9.
Nothing changed

Pretty weird thing :T Btw I can drive around but looks crazy :T Especialy in the pits where I can see the tire and the brakes :'D
go to your LFS folder and post the content of your deb.log here please.

use the [code] tags for better viewing pleasure next time Big grin
but the log doesnt say anything unusual...have you tried fiddeling around with the grahpic settings in game and in windows?
like changing resolution, changing graphics quality in the nvidia/ati settings?
I don't know, the resolution is at the lowest I mean everything looks simple, not fancy and I'm still having the problem... Isn't it's the vga's problem? I'm using a Radeon 9250 256 Mb card :T

Does it has a problem with my pixel shader thingy?
uhm...that could well be, as the 9250 doesnt have full dx 9 support...and lfs now does use dx 9.
Unfortunately Radeon 9250 is a R200 series chip which doesn't support Direct3D 9 so LFS 0.6G won't work on this GPU.
Well... Buck... I will get a better PC cuz this game is realy cool Wink
Just about any prebuilt PC these days will run LFS with no problems, don't think you need to break the bank to enjoy LFS.

=D
** Best answer **
Using version 0.6E could be an option. Just if that GPU support DirectX 8.1
And 0.6E is compatible with latest updates, so you can join a 0.6G server.
OH! Thanks racer autov8 Big grin
