Yet another reason to stop bothering. Sorry for taking your time Sam.

Quote from mkinnov8 :

I am on Y19 (have not tried a later test patch and dont wish to at this stage), so firstly, can anyone reproduce this on Y31?

We're way past Y19, so posting bug questions about that patch is far from helpful, tbh. But anyway... the driver figure has always (as long as I can remember) been drawn in the 3D space in front of the car, with the car body deliberately removed so you can see it. It's not really a bug, just something that happens whenever you get any 3D object positioned between your view and the driver mannequin.

Quote from Scawen :

I think something I did with the unlocks was not done the best way. I'll look at it in the morning. For now, I'm sure you can fix it by clicking "Lock LFS" in the unlocking screen then unlock again. I've added two unlocks to your account.

Oh same thing happened with me and I had to replace the data and lfs logo

Scawen, I had a go at updating the XRG picture for the car selection screen (data\pic\x_XRG.jpg). If you think it's usable feel free to use it. It was a swine getting the angle right but it think it looks OK. I didn't bother with the XRT because the wheel difference is barely recognizable with the size of the pictures.

Also, I know you say patch Z is close but the back of the front seats in the XRG and XRT still have no texture (see pics). It looks a bit weird and considering the XFG back of front seats have textures and look great it seems wrong the XR road cars are just backed with black.
Will these be done in time for patch Z or for a future patch? A frivolous bug but a shame when the rest of it looks beautiful. Thanks.

Quote from Shotglass :

1) did you reunlock y31?
2) on the main menu screen where it says "s2 licence" is your licence name missing?

I just tried locking the game then re-unlocking it, that did the trick. Thanks for the ideas.

Quote from Scawen :

I don't know what we will do, it'll probably be best to just say you can only upload hotlaps made in version Z (very soon).

Ok, thanks. Better wait with serious hotlapping until Z is out then.

Quote from chanoman315 :

Scawen, and if we dont download patch Z, but a before test patch can we upload those hotlaps?... i have a crappy internet (52kps) and i wont download Z until like 3 weeks from now

Isn't that basically what I asked? So no, until patch Z is out you can only upload hotlaps made in pre Y30 patches. When patch Z is released, you might be able to upload post Y30 hotlaps, but not hotlaps made in older versions. But since there can still be some physics changes, best bet is to wait until Z is released before you start hotlapping.

Hope that made sense.

Ah thanks for explaining that

I just got my new laptop with Vista last friday.
First time using Vista and I'm thinking I'm doing something totally wrong

Ah thanks for that.

This really has nothing todo with vista. Lfs with patch y31 works great on vista too. In fact, any version i had on vista ran fine. All errors and crashes(very rare) i had were because of bugs in lfs or overheated graphics card and not related to the OS.


I only tested the fzr until, because i read the center of grivity was lowered. It now feels more like a gtr/supercar Instead of the suv drive i used to be. Great! But i have to admit i haven' driven much gtr ' s since the 4wd was adjusted to be just as fast as the rwd gtr' s.(4wd gtr should be banned! or have a huge handicap)

Quote from Scawen :

PATCH Y TO Y30 (UPGRADE FROM OFFICIAL VERSION Y) :
(Save into an existing version Y folder, and run the patch there)
www.liveforspeed.net/file_mirr ... me=LFS_PATCH_Y_TO_Y31.exe (13 MB)

Isn't it meant to be Y31?

Hey, Scawen, correct me if im wrong but i dont believe i ever got my 2 unlocks..?
i used 1 i already had to test out Y30 then i realized there were about 30 servers so i went back to y24 and i have 0 unlocks

About the unlocking issue.

There is a bug where when it removes the old unlock, it leaves some of the unlocking files and doesn't notice they are out of date, so some things can just go wrong if you don't unlock cleanly from scratch.

I know some people are out of unlocks due to my mistake. But rather than sit here all morning giving out new unlocks, my plan is to fix this bug and release a test patch today which needs unlocking again, and I'll give everyone two unlocks at that point.

Sounds great!!!
Any excuse for a new test patch will do
Thanks Scawen, I can't wait to see where Live For Speed goes from here

Great work

The temp.spr created in first run is obsolete.
The dashboard in XRG and XRT is inverted when driver position is left. The revmeter and speedometer is swapped.

Quote from beefyman666 :

I wouldn't call it a feature.

I'd rather not have say red bits of interior. I'd say it's kind of acceptable if it matches the paintjob, but otherwise it looks horrible.

Please fix this Scawen. A seperate file for that interior part would make things hunky dorey.

I would think it would all be one color on a racecar (rollcage, interior, exterior), but either way, that part shouldn't be white (unless the rest is)...

I would suggest just matching it with the exterior color like we see in so many cars. ...but then why would the rollcage be yet another color?

Translate to english, please?

@ Drift King:

i always get the same error (only in vista "speech") when i try to join a server.

It appears after loading a track and LFS.exe suddenly crashes and u come back to your desktop.

I hope this will be fixed in Y32 today..

Edit: i got another error

Hi Scaw, a little bug:

Right click dosnt work in ride height and clutch pack differential settings.

Number of available unlocks : 0

Its a TEST patch. You install it at your own risk.

Everything working fine for me, yet another step towards perfection ...

Stupid question about the dedicated server ...

Underneath the hosts name, it just displays a " ? " instead of " host ", for example.
Is it supposed to be like that? It's been doing that in all these test patchs for me ...
