Hi there!

I am having the following problem:
As I wanted to try the newest incompatible testpatch I
installed LFS S2 annother time, to use the Test-Patch on
that installation.

Now opended the game lfs.exe which takes me to the
Demo and I try to unlock with my usual GAMEPassword.

It does not work and I habe checked on the Firewall and
also on the GamePassword which I redefined for that
porpose.

Can I not habe LFS installed twice on my PC?

Any suggestions?

Greetings, Dandy Dust

It should be no problem to have multiple LFS installs unlocked.
What exactly doesn´t work? Do you get an error message or are you just unable to connect at all?

Hi there!

THNX for Your quick responce.

I will not get connected with the master server.
Even when I disable the firewall completely.

This does make it a Non-LFS problem, doesnt it?

My Standart LFS S2 Installation runs, my internet
connection works well.

Maybe I should update LFS manually first?

Hi there!

I am getting Ideas now myself.

Has the master server of LFS moved resently?

My Installations CD is 1 1/2 years old.

Should I rather install a download version that will

"corespond" with the new master server?

Asks, Dandy Dust

Yes, the master moved very recently and hence only newer versions can find it.

You're better off getting the latest full version and then patching it using the test patches.

Hi there!

I am downloading Patch W now and will see if it does the job then!

I will post results here...

Hi there!

I have solved the problem:

One has to download and istall the newest (official) patch from the links on the lfs.net site and istall that.

Then the programm referes to the NEW master server
and with the correct username and GAMEpassword the
opening takes 2 seconds.

Greetings, Dandy Dust

Much easier for you to do would be to copy your current LFS folder to a new folder. That one will stay unlocked. Then patch that folder for the test patch.

I have I think 9 or 10 different LFS versions all unlocked. I've only used 2 unlocks in over 2 years.
