There's not reason that it shouldn't work in x64. If it were compiled properly it would work on both architectures.

Just in case you missed it

Well thank you for that and yes I did read it but some indicated there was no reason for this not to work on 64 bit, but I guess it's a crime to ask a question on here....

LFS forums, making Iraq look like a friendly place :rolleyes:

Did anyone manage to get this working in 64bit Vista? I've just done a fresh install of LFS and followed the instructions but program dies the second I launch it.

When I went to download Net Framework 2.0 it said it was already installed.

Log file reports the following:

The track is less than 30 mins drive for me so very tempted. Just discussing on drivenbypassion forums about getting a team entry

If you mean the silver knob in front of the shifter, that's to switch between sequential and H pattern. If you mean the black knobs on each side of the shifter, they are just to tighten the mounting clamps.

Yeah once you have paid for the game and registered with the site, go to the downloads page and get the game. Once you've done that, simply launch it click the unlock Live For Speed button. Enter the same username and password you registered with the site and it will unlock the full content.

As for the G25, yeah as written above, the clutch can be fed in like a real car but is tricky to get the hang of straight away. Does come in very handy on the 4 wheel drive cars like the RB4 and FXR. The wheel in general is great and well worth the purchase if you have the cash

I'm in (please ignore PB on application, wrong car lol)

It's only ever had issues with live for speed. I'm averaging 300fps so it's not like the game is stressing it lol. It's since been rebuilt so fingers crossed

Bah I was running R4's to make them last the full race too. I did some practice earlier today and was hitting low 1:23's lap after lap on R4's so it seemed a good tactic.

Everything was going pretty well until my PC had a wobbler on lap 26 or something and I had to do a cold reset. Pisser

There is no easy "do this and your get that" answer to overclocking as every system will react differently. There are hundreds of overclocking forums on the net so Google is your best friend on this one.

A couple of points to remember is that your bios will usually connect elements of your system together so upping the FSB on your CPU will also up the FSB on your RAM. You will need to take things slow and do alot of testing with prime95 or similar to ensure stability. Cooling is a major factor with overclocking - you usually need to up the voltage to your CPU to hold stability which makes it run hotter - get a good cooler before you start!

What spec system are you running? Core 2 duo systems overclock an absolute treat - my 6300 is clocked at 1.8gig stock and currently been running happily at 3.1gig for the past few months (after also passing 24hours testing on prime95). Sometimes you will find yourself limited as to what components you have - some motherboards are much more overclocking friendly than others, same for the RAM and CPU. Download Everest Home Edition to get a full list of system specs if you don't know and use sites like tomshardware to get reviews as they normally do overclock tests.

I'm no expert at this but gimme a shout if you get stuck

Total balls up. Accidentally left message block on so no idea if any warning given about the start - been told none. I expected the usual start procedure i.e. end race, called to join in order but didn't happen. Race started, had quallied 5th but started last (or there abouts). Didn't drive hard expecting restart but didn't happen for reasons unknown. I know only a fun race but why not just do away with quali and have random start if this sort of thing happening does not result in a restart?

Got to watch some great racing especially between Stoney and QS for a few laps and congrats to QS for the win after coming from the back. Me I parked it on lap 2 or 3. It took a PB to quali where I did and after dropping about 20 grid slots at the start, simply couldn't be arsed.

Very strange error that - all three links work fine for me

Sometimes it depends on which version of Vista you have and how the game is installed. Ultimate edition for example has more annoying security details than I've ever seen. When I had LFS on my second drive (taken from my old PC), I couldn't unlock LFS - worked fine when I copied the folder to my C Drive? Go figure

Try going to the User Accounts in control panel and turn off the access control then try to unlock again. Sound wise, as already posted, what card do you have?

Welcome to the made house Freestyle and Stoney, stop talking about the changes, your gonna make Brad jealous again

Quote from Gimpster :

I could not have said it better then Becky. Speed and records have mo meaning for me. I respect the drivers that I can race door to door with lap after lap and battle for position with constantly in a ever changing dance for position.

The drivers I respect most are the ones that show me level the respect that they want to recieve from me and that can race on any line no matter how far from ideal it may be.

And that sums it up for me too - along with Becky's comments

I do admire those who can hit the ridiculous lap times but for me, it's the drivers who I battle with lap after lap cleanly and fairly who earn my respect. Those who wait if they accidentally take you out, those who want nothing more than to have a good race - regardless where thay may finish.

Me too

From what I hear, the Gentle Footed one is a setup god!

Please send record breaking RB4 set for Sundays race to my inbox

Your welcome Dadge. Condolences from all at DBP.

Yeah thanks to all for a good night

My first ever long race online so an experience for me in itself. Got a major lag event on the start which prompted a crash but thankfully only involving myself. Picked up some damage in a chicane incident on lap 2 or 3 and decided to limp it to lap 10 and fuel to the finish, changing to R3's. Well they simply didn't work with the set and could not get any grip but soldiered on regardless. Managed to keep it together till lap 54 or something when the left front blew out resulting in another pitstop and set of boots.

All in all a total disaster for me finishing a lowly 14th but had fun anyway. Shame about the few timeouts others sufferred though.

When's the next one?????

Yeah Pixmania have them back in stock. Ordered mine yesterday and it's being delivered today or tomorrow

Oh and Gamepod also have them in stock - bit of a swine to find on their site though and delivery is poor at 7-10 days.
