Hi,
I guess you mean the unlocking keys, not the voucher code.

Just wait to the next month,
every 1. it will filled up with one new spare key
up to the max of 2.

If you buy a MS with FF take care that y get one with USB.
with gameport and xp maybe you get more trouble than now.

but i think that you can`t install the 4.0 driver (no-admin) is a windows problem.
because you can install a usb driver without connected hardware.
probably you can`t install the FF driver also.
did you run any win-tweak software in the past, like "Tuneup utility" or similar?

hi,
y have a USB or gameport non FF wheel?
if USB, you can install a sidewinder 4.0 driver.
did it some weeks ago on a friends pc and work fine with separate axis.

But its a other one than the 4.0 with FF.
at least the gui looks different, i guess its a different version /installer.
we use a original cd comes with the wheel.

if needed, i can try to get the files to upload them
but it will need some days.

grats to your new "toy"

Quote : P.S. What is hvs?

hardware vertex shading
some transistors in the chip made for a speziall job.
more...
The GF2 / GF4mx were the last nvidia without this feature.
also standard in ati cards for a long time.

In LFS you can set it on/off in options/graphics to see the performance difference.

nice that y have a tree where the money grows,
in this case y are of course excused that you dont know the difference between low and high prices.

nope sea, thats wrong.

his gf4mx doesn`t support hvs
so its for sure the bottleneck.
and a 9600 should give a performance boost for his system
not only in LFS, probably in all other games too.

download DXtwaek2
start the exe, klick-> device default - Apply
done, maybe recalibrate in LFS

if this doesnt help you can also change some registry entrys,
but i didn`t have a link atm.

yep, P2 and win-xp on amd-xp with barton core.
but i know this since demo times 2.5 years ago
and had some hardware changes over the time.
i have a own win-game-install were i disable every unnessary things,
so nothing in backround.

to be honest, i never thought it was on my side because
mostly others have probs at the same time too (disco).
i will try it with less ram and with disabled replays next days
to see whats happens.

edit:
normaly it was one very small lag before the connect bars go back down,
similar to the old pit lag.

sounds logical that is client side with the mpr stash,
but why mostly someone else disconnect at the same time?
is it maybe some "bytes" from the server are wrong
and messed it up for everyone, most survive it, some not?
possible?

since a short time I have 1 GB ram, before 512.
duno if its better with more ram, never compare it really.

nice changes, looks all fine for me.
I prefer the idea with the qualy closer to the race date, on monday and thuesday.
also like the "overbooking" to get full grids.
same with stats over more seasons.
not so happy with no rejoin, but its ok why.
so I hope for a patch


some minor thoughts:
typo in the points for 2./3. in grid B?
anyhow, whats with some extra points for the 2. and 3. also?

Div A
..
13 84
14 83 ->last finisher

Div B
1 83+5 = 88
2 82+3 = 85
3 81+2 = 83
..
13 71
14 70 ->last finisher

Div C
1 70+5 = 75
2 69+2 = 71
3 68+1 = 69
..

rejoin in team-race,
the 5 min penalty is to much,
you have also todo the last lap from start.
so i think 2-3 min is enough.

*cough* atm. y get for a DNF the points for place 21 from the next lower grid,
maybe Bo mixed it up with a other league.
http://lfsendu.com/points_table.php
and driving 99% of the race to get zero points is also unfair
didn`t think that its worth to make complicated rule (eg. more % driven distance-> more points for DNF)
so i think its not that bad like it is now
maybe a change to fit it into the new flexible pointsystem is needed.


"MP replay out of stash space"
i think that deserve a own topic.

"MP replay out of stash space"

normaly it starts with rising conect bars, up to 50% from the screen
mostly someone else disconnect and the error message come up
afterwards the connect bars go down and all works as normal.
the hole process is about 4-8 sec. long

i know this message very well since old demo times
it change a bit how often i see it,
from 2-3 time per hour up to once in a week.
never had the prob that i lost the connect myself.

other experience?
anyone knows what "MP replay out of stash space" means?
is it a client failure, server side or a bug?
every else info is welcome

port 80 is the default port for internet(http?), if you can see a website its normally open.

if unlocking still failed it probably because LFS didn`t use the http-protocol for unlocking (duno what LFS use)
and your firewall/proxy didn`t allow other protocols here.

normaly you can change gameport settings in the device-manager/properties/ressources
but if I look at my audigy2 gameport i can`t change anything.
looks like a limitation from the soundcard. duno, never use it.

damn I forgot that 3.02 install doesn`t work under xp, sorry my fault.
you can install the SW 4.0 for the usb ff-wheel
duno if it helps, but should be worth a try.

if that failed try other soundcard/ gameport drivers.

overall I have not to much hope to get it work properly.
what MS said to xp, gameport and drivers (german)
http://www.pcgames.de/?article_id=36653
not the best news, but thats why MS-gameport wheels so cheap on e-bay. ;(

other options:
-win98/ME
-maybe(!!) with a pci gameport card or other soundcard
-buy a wheel with usb device

arrg, gameport and xp is often a tricky combination.
did it work in other racegames?
which driver have y installed for the wheel, 3.02?
and did it work in the gamecontoller settings?
whats if you didn`t change the buttons in LFS

yea, lot of questions but i hope to get closer to the failure with it.

besides that, if your mobo has a own gameport try this one also.

hy
strange problem, what wheel do you use?
did it still work with the default buttons?
can you post a sreenshot after you change the buttons.

save the LFS/dat/misc folder for each xp after y unlock it.
then y need only to change the misc folder to get it unlocked
after you change your xp-install.
maybe with a small batch file in the autostart.

my race was good,
find my rythem most of the time and didn`t hit the walls that mutch as expected.
nice battels in the begining and all the time someone viewable in front of me for hunting.
grats Ayah for the win.

lookink at the stats,
strange thing in the 3. sector
i had a good split time with very low topspeed.
how is that possible?
the 3. sector is only one corner and 2 long straights.

Best split 3
4. Kasper (Mounthy) 33.04 +0.49 sec
Top Speed, kph
10. Kasper (Mounthy) 241.08 -11.99 km/h

LFS main folder\ cfg.txt search for a line
port 80 0
set it to 1 and unlock should work behind a firewall.
