As soon as LFS switches from windowed mode to full screen mode (or from full screen mode to windowed mode), it goes to black screen when I enter a race (single- or multiplayer).
I didn't figured that out earlier, because for single player it doesn't go windowed.

And racing in windowed mode just sucks big time.

And all the drivers are reinstalled, which didn't work, and updated, which also didn't work.

Ok, I am dissapointed that no-one gives a response here.
But for anyone having the same problem: I fixed it by turning off the option to let LFS get windowed during connection to a server.

Ok, I got some sort of a fix for the moment. But I don't want to keep it like this.
When I connect to a server, and LFS is windowed, I start taskmanager, and I have my normal screen back. But when I don't start taskmanager, I have the black screen...

Giving LFS a higher priority in the taskmanager won't do...

Any idea's?

Hello racers,

I have a problem with LFS. When I start LFS, there is no problem. Singleplayer works fine. But when I want to go online, there is a problem.

I can choose a server from the list (or go to a specific host immediatly), and after I click it, I get the loading screen (where the skins etc are downloaded). But then, when I should be looking with another driver, there is a black screen. I do hear some sounds (like the bleepy-thing when something is coming into the chat), but no cars. The only way to shut LFS down is using alt+F4 or task manager.

Once again: It is only when I am going online.
I had it yesterday as well, so I looked at my graphic-settings, changed something, and changed it back, and it worked. But that didn't help me out now.

PC specs:
CPU: Core i7 2600K @3,4 GHz
RAM: 12 GB
OS: Win 7 64bit
Video: MSI GTX 550-Ti
LFS version: 0.6E

No overclocking or modding or whatsoever. I installed my pc freshly this week, and all updates are done.

Experience and History
1999: Started playing the guitar. 1 year of musiclessons, after that self-learned
2003: Started my first band, The E.N.D., a mix of punk, rock, NY hardcore and thrash. We did 4 or 5 gigs
2007: The E.N.D. gained an extra guitar player, and renamed to BleiFrei. We decided to play only NY Hardcore. We did 1 gig, and were recording a Demo, but failed due to the band falling apart.
2009: BleiFrei died, and with the drummer and bassplayer I continued with The Bessemer Machine. We played Doom metal.
2012: The Bessemer Machine died (again...), and I started a new band with some friends, to continue where BleiFrei left off, NY Hardcore.

And somewhere in 2005 (or something) I started my own wierd project. Pure computer based, no vocals or whatsoever. There is some selfplayed guitar and bass, but those are to be recognized anymore.
In 2010 I wanted to do a track with some guestvocals. I heard a friend of mine singing (very good) a song, and I wanted to cover that song. This turned out so well, that it has become another project: Burengerucht. At this moment there is one song (Amazed, originally by The Offspring), but I am working at more songs (when my computer is fixed I can continue).

anything else you want to let us know about
About TTF: I just do whatever I want. And if it sounds right to me, it's OK.
And for my projects (TTF and Burengerucht): When I have time and inspiration, then I am doing it. When there is no time or inspiration, then it is not going anywhere.
