I thought its a configuration issue

12.3 is working fine, thanks for the hint

If anybody is looking for 12.3 Catalyst drivers: http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?t=360690

Hi,

i just updated my drivers for my notebook today to 12.4, I got ATI Mobility Radeon HD2400 in my notebook.

Before I had problems with playing 1080p videos via HDMI, but LFS was working fine.

Now 1080p videos are working without lags but LFS has graphics bugs:
Picture 1 Picture 2

I'm using Windows 7 64bit on a 2Ghz Dual-Core notebook.

Settings in LFS are:
1280x800 32bit 60Hz
Sky off / Shadows off / Trees off
No AA / No AF
Textures low / Skins high
Z-Buffer 24bit

ATI Catalyst 3D Settings:
AA / AF: settings by application
Catalyst A.I.: off
Mipmaps: high performance

Any settings to get rid of these bugs?

I got a little problem we change layouts sometimes with !axo and then then !tr doesnt show next track anymore and !end stays at the same track and doesnt change to next one anymore

would be great if the counter would stay after layout change and !end would change to next track again

Some versions earlier !end switched to next track even if we were driving on tracks that were not on the rotation list (and counter was still counting on layout change).

python console says "python 2.6.6" and I installed pyserial 2.5

greener: "he was banned CPW"
SJB: "he tried to cheat"
greener: "his name is Loggy"
greener: "he doesnt cheat"
greener: "do /unban -LSD-"
SJB: "CPW means modified LFS.exe"
greener: "ITS JUST CRACKED .EXE"

cant stop laughing

Why should the front wheels still spin??? Its RWD and not 4WD, it should nothing happen with them if the car doesnt "roll" over the race track?! otherwise its a 4WD car?! Maybe its buggy during racing too and the car does 5% front and 95% rear or something? Thats what I think if I press the pedal and front wheels start spin...

Edit: yeah of course this is related to the H-Shifter bug... haha... I dont try to change gears or something... But same for that thread: its 2years old and still not fixed...

I dont know why the people get angry if I post bugs - dont you want them fixed too?!

Edit2: After I changed resolution from 1920x1080 to 1280x720 and back, I get disconnected every alt+tab now...

Funny, 2 years and no fix for that

Another bug which I had already in 0.5Z28 but remembered now cause the same happens in 0.6B: XRR rotates front wheels if you on roof and play with throttle http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X18hoB7XUCo

Strange Bug:
Airio changed the track from BL1 to AS4X and at race start some guy was shown on the map out of the track?!

He told me he is driving on BL1 and he see the others cars flying around, told him to save a replay to can report it here, but he told me his replay shows him on AS4X in the air???

His driver name is Hello-Goodbye, its my MPR, he tries to create a video with Fraps now.

Edit: Airio kicked him for "Bad driving" now xD Now all is normal for him after rejoining the server. xD

Edit2: He could not create a video cause he got kicked before and he told me he "changed the windows" when the new track was loading.

No, I tried to open the arduino console after I opened your python script and the Arduino console said "another program blocks serial com port 4"

Would be great to see driver names again if I press "N" in Shift+U mode

If I restart the LFS dedicated: sometimes I have to restart it twice to can connect to server and 2days ago I had to restart it 5times till Insim could connect

No Problems like that with z28, z30-34 and 0.6A on linux before.

But if it runs, it runs stable

Quote from Bigbob1993 :

Well, improved collision system mean improved physics so I´m quite happy with this patch(except the pits wall shown on replay somwhere above me)

btw. red barrier bug was legendary... shouldnt there be some console command to activate this bug?

P.S. almost forgot... Great work

you still fly hit the side of a barrier / armco

even the pit exit wall at BL1X makes you fly away

Edit: Its better than before but I wouldnt call this "fixed"

Ehm... where can I find the dedicated server files? There was a link in every test patch thread...

Edit: Ah, forgot that the dedicated server is an addon... thanks google :P http://www.lfs.net/?page=addons

Quote from EQ Worry :

Here's another replay of the buggy start, when the timer starts to run actually 1.5 to 2 seconds after green lights. It seems it is not such a rare bug as I thought, when I asked people to watch for it they could see it pretty soon.

Maybe that bug is related: very rarely if I do a jump start I get no penalty, once even the others said to me "SJB you cheater, no penalty???" cause it was almost 0.5sec before green light and I overtook the others very easy at start.

Quote from Scawen :

Thanks for the test. I can't understand what has gone wrong. But as no-one else has reported a problem, I'm wondering if somehow your installation of LFS has become corrupted.

If have similar problems with Alt+Tab and Shift+F4... LFS Window gets black for 5 seconds and sometimes it looses connection to server. Really annoying as admin if you alt+tab to look into forums and at alt+tab back *beep* lost connection.
Had the same problem with z28 and 30-34 too. Win7 x64 with Nvidia GTX260.

And everytime I start LFS the first time, it freezes once for 2-3 seconds and I crash into a wall or something. It happens sometimes after 5seconds, sometimes after 10minutes. But happens every first LFS start after boot (if I close LFS and start it later: no problems) and happens only once.
Tried 5 different Nvidia drivers but everytime the same alt+tab/shift+f4 black screens and 2-3 second lag at first LFS start.

BTW: If I want to start another game like Trackmania or Battlefield Bad Company 2 or GTA EFLC after playing LFS, I have to reboot first else I got only the half FPS. But if I switch between those other games I got no problems.

Notebook with Vista and ATI HD has no problems with Alt+Tab / Shift+F4, changes instantly and no disconnects.

0.5B is the INSIM Version, its not the Game Version

My 0.6A4 dedicated is up running

Edit: 3 Users joined since update, no cpw till now

Update: 15 People and no CPW

are the updated aegio files for 0.6A2 or A3 too?

was running A1 till yesterday, updated LFS to A2 while airio was running and airio reconnected successfully automatically.

But 1hour ago A2 crashed, I restarted A2 but Airio doesnt connect now:

EDIT: Airio works now, restarted LFS server 2 more times and Airio did connect

Dunno if its reproducable, but we were 12 people on the server. I had a 24h disconnect (ADSL customers are disconnected every 24h in germany), when I tried to reconnect: our server (hosted in a data center) was empty and I couldnt join "error while receiving packets" - I had to restart LFS dedi to get it back to work - z28 was stable running for atlest 6months

In the log file all users "timed out" or "lost connection"

BTW we are running 0.6A2 dedi (my client was 0.6A3), will install 0.6A3 on server now...

Why do you reset the option "window while connecting" to "yes" at every patch? Its now the 6th time I set it back to "no"

Small bug in the Layout Editor:
If you are e.g. in the menu with the ramps, and select a blue tire on the track (left click on it), you get a black tire at your mouse - if you select another blue tire, you got a blue tire at your mouse

there should be an option in the setup.cfg for that -.-

how can I deactivate the automatic spectate without touching packets/insim?

Why does 0.6A1 automatically spectate all people if I do "/cars=xfg" ???

We got Airio running and did manually spectate all through "!sall" 20-30 seconds before the race restarts on Z34 and before - so the ppl who finished could already choose a setup and drive some meters with the new car while the others finish in the old car.

Regards, SJB

ehhh why does it automatically spectate all people now if I do e.g. "/cars=uf1" ?? is it airio cause of the updated aegio libs or is this LFS itself??

Edit: same happens with "!cars uf1"

Airio log:
11.06.12 22:05:59 #2 C24P05 shredderboy - [CAD] Shredder : !cars uf1
11.06.12 22:06:00 #2 [CAD] SJB joined the spectators
11.06.12 22:06:00 #2 C04P01 sjb - Leaving race...

LFS log:
Jun 12 23:05:59 [CAD] Shredder : ^L!cars uf1
Jun 12 23:05:59 /cars UF1
Jun 12 23:06:00 [CAD] SJB^L joined the spectators

Edit2: seems to be 0.6A1 related, just did !quit and same happens at /cars=
