Saw someone else's post about resetting their pw and realized I had done that on one rig for another licensing issue. So even though it retained it's licensing status, it rechecks during multiplayer and of course it didn't match...


Fixed now. Buggy!

Ok, looked around and haven't found an answer so I'll ask here. I have two gaming rigs that both can connect to, and play LFS with my S2 license. But on one of them, it can neither host or join a multiplayer game. When joining, I create a new guest driver, fill in the info for the session my first rig is hosting, and click to join.


I then get the error 'Game Password does not match'


Mind you they can both connect to, and play LFS on their own. If I try hosting with that rig, same error. I have a VPN connection at my disposal so figuring it might be some IP confusion, I tried having one of the rigs use that so geographically and network wise we weren't related. Same issue. Tried the 'clear host passwords' which really didn't seem related and of course did not help.


Please help me.


Very frustrated by all the unlock issues I've had prior and now this. I'll you what, I can hear Iracing calling me back louder each day due to all the trouble with this crazy copy protection.


I want to like LFS, really, but I spend the same amount troubleshooting license issues as I do playing.

Thanks for your reply rosewood2,


I installed it on my applications drive E. (E:\Games\LFS) The folder does not appear to be read only and if I delete card_cfg.txt the app is able to successfully recreate it.


The only thing I do that I can think of that may be a little unusual is move my user folders (documents, music, videos, etc.) from c:\users\<login>\documents to D:\<login>\documents etc. by rt clicking them and choosing 'location'.


I did try setting the folder as writeable anyway but it did not seem to help. Although its probably not a valid test without using another unlock...

Hi All,


Very new to LFS but an avid racer on another online game. I am having an issue where I start LFS and it has lost my license status. It starts in demo mode.

At first I thought it was tied to the 6F upgrade, but after updating and unlocking it happened again when I fired it up today. Actually it started with the correct license status but my monitor config was incorrect, so I exited, corrected and restarted. Bam! Demo mode.


I burned through my two weekly unlocks dealing with this and have one left (what a crazy frustrating copy protection scheme but that is for another day) so don't want to use it without knowing what the issue is.


What gives?


Thanks,
Shrubby
