hi everyone..

I had some errors installing the patch after installing LFS S2 "clean" .. On my new computer i got this weekend ..


The bottom line is that it says:




I didn't check how many I had, infact i didn't know I had a certain amount of unlocks ..

So how long do i have to really wait to play online again ?...

A waste of £25 ...

Please help meh..

Thanks

It's not a waste you'll get it back in a month. Every user gets 2 unlocks every month. Ask Victor if he could get new an unlock.

No. No. No.

From the official FAQ.

Quote :

Initially you will be granted 3 unlocks. In addition, you get an additional unlock available every first day of the month, provided you do not already have 2 unlocks available. So unless you are having severe problems with your computer, you should be fine and always able to unlock LFS again after a reinstallation of Windows for example, or when you buy new computer parts or a whole new computer.

Incase that isn't clear enough, you start off with 3 unlocks. Each month you get another unlock, but up to the limit of 2 unlocks. i.e. after your very first unlock the maximum you can have is 2.

In the past the dev's have been generous giving additional unlocks. You can ask here. No guarantees though.

If your issues were caused by running Vista check out the test patches here, which add support for unlocking it.

Thanks for replies.. It's not vista ...

I use XP ..

I'll have a go at asking a dev... thanks for that

If all else fails, just wait 10 days and you'll be rocking and rolling again. If there's a genuine reason for running out though, like TAA says, the devs are generous.

W00T got my e-mail back this morning, now I have one unlock ..

Now i just have to re-install the game again ..

Thanks again for the help

Hi there. I have the same problem. After cleaning my win xp, i got the same message. And since its the beginning of december, it means that i'll have to wait a whole month until i can play ... Anyone with a solution ?

2 unlocks in 9 days, must be a record or something. Youll have to contact the devs and if you ask nice enough they might give you another one.

Yeah definately. But my rig didnt move ... I just got probrems with my windows and tried to re-activate LFS but i couldnt .

Is there any way to buy unlock points ? Because I change my rig very often. And it could be convenient to be able to buy unlock points.

No - you have to email them for more unlocks

i'll email them . Thanks for your help

Whew, am I glad I'm not the only one with this issue.

I'll be sending an email within the next 5 minutes.

Seems I should really watch what time of the month I reformat my hard drives [once a month exactly, the price I pay for being a power user].

Hope to see you all on the autocross courses soon!

Power users ghost their drives and don't have to unlock each monthly format So join the 'power users' and start ghosting.

Do I have to be online to use an unlock? I'm having major comuter issues and am going to reinstall windows while home on christmas break, but I won't be able to get online.

oh, never mind, it says so on the official faq. hopefully i can fix things before i go home or i will be playing the demo for a few weeks.

You're a moron if you honestly format once a month.
