Has anyone gotten video corruption with the new patch? I saw it happen once in these two scenarios:

Scenario 1:
Some textures in the track environment get corrupted, but not cars
No corruption when in the car setup screen or whatever you want to call it

Scenario 2:
No corruption in the track environment, everything renders perfectly
Corruption in the car setup screen (see attached)

Edit: I should add that in both scenarios I had been running LFS for at least 30 minutes. It is not easily reproducible.

My setup:
AMD Athlon 64 2800+ socket 754
Abit KV8 with VIA K8T800 chipset
1GB DDR SDRAM
GeForce 6800 (not overclocked) with 158.24 WHQL drivers
Windows Vista 32bit

To me, it does look like standard video artifacts due to hardware or heating issue, but just want to check if anyone else is experiencing this before I throw $$$ at a solution.

Thanks for the nice workaround, 71460. I will be using that.

But, I still feel this should be tied to user profiles, so that users don't need to rely on their own custom scripting to have this functionality. That is probably to complex for most people. It would be a lot easier if these things were tied to a profile, and hopefully not too much work to implement.

[silly] I need either this or (a track like) the Nurburgring Nordschleife. Devs, take your pick. [/silly]
more options tied to player profile

If you go in LFS -> Options -> Player section, you have the ability to create several different player names. Right now, the following items aren't tied to the player account that I think should be:
  • Controls
  • Game settings, particularly F1-F8, Ctrl+ and Alt+ bindings
I want this because the other day I joined a Cops and Robbers server, created a new profile (something like [COP]cebesius, for example), and then set a bunch of silly cop-related say bindings to my F1-F8 keys. Afterwards, I switched back to my regular (not the [COP]cebesius) profile to go play on a regular server, and when I pressed F5, instead of saying "hi", I said "POLICE -- PULL OVER IMMEDIATELY!" and subsequently felt quite stupid.
