Hy guys, I've installed laster patch V, and everything worked fine, until today.
I got this strange screen.

Please help.

What GFX card do you have? Is it overclocked/overheating?

No it's not overclocked.
Radeon 9600XT.

is it overheating? try re-installing your GFX drivers

Other games arre working fine, just LFS isn't.

It's not overheating, and I have the latest Catalyst drivers.
Temeprature is now 34°C.

try re-installing them, and is that temperature under load?

try reinstalling lfs and keep the folder structure of the archive

Are you sure that the drivers are latest? Can you tell me, what is the exact number of the drivers you use?

How do you mean that? Sorry for my bad english.

That is temperature under full load, both processor and grafics do not exceed 40°C under full load over few hours.

I had that bug before, can't remember how I fixed it, temporary solution is to reboot, nothing else helps. It's not a heating issue IIRC.

Try searching the bug reports forum for the existing threads. I tried but without success. Not sure what to search for.

Did you search in the Test Patch forum? Everyone thank the LFS trolls, because that subforum is hidden now!

Stegy, if you get that bug, do a test for me. Change the screen resolution to anything else and back IN LFS. Use a resolution not far (distance) from your regular, so it would be easy to get back. It was the temporary fix for me.

Bingo.

There is another interesting thing I found. When I still had this bug, I also had it in LFS 0.3H. The difference was no white screen, only the FPS was very low (2-4). In the later stages, I found a pattern: LFS stutters at 2-4 FPS for a ~15 seconds at a time. It does this for 2-3 times and then the textures go "white". IIRC I drove FXR in WE1 and got stuttering 3 times during one lap.

I used Catalyst 6.5 for a very long time and this problem occured around test patch U20 or so. I changed to 6.11 a while ago and haven't experienced this bug again. This cannot be related to test patches, because I had same problems with LFS 0.3H!? Or do the VGA drivers rotten!? I have 9600XT too, btw.

extract it so you have the \data\*-folders, if you didn't do that already

Bob got that thread out of the Test Patch forum :

I'll close this thread now, better read that one and continue discussing there.

It looks like you are running out of card memory. First thing is to reboot the computer, of course. If things are still wrong, reduce your screen res / disable antialiasing / remove any oversized sky textures.
