It only happens to me with LFS. I play rFactor too or play videos and the screen doesn't go off...

If it was Vista's fault it should be with any game I play or program I use(that doesn't use the keyboard or mouse of course)

After some months not playing LFS, I started again one of these days, and I've got the same problem. The screen turns off while racing.

Quote from mcintyrej :

Why not just press the button on the front of it when you want it off and you aren't at the PC, then turn it on when you get back?

It's a temporary solution, but in stead of telling people to turn off the screen powersaving we should ask the devs for a solution, as the problem belongs to LFS not being able to "hold back" the screen poweroff.

So please, scawen, whenever you can, spend some minutes trying to fix this problem, as it is very annoying.

Was the rFactor BMW Sauber F1 car modeled in colaboration with Intel/BMW????

Oops, sorry, I tried to edit the post earlier this afternoon, but it seems it didn't save...

I edited it because I solved the problem, I reinstalled the drivers (the installation hanged when looking for devices) and it is working perfectly now.

I love it I'm having so much fun trying to be fast (I am quite slow atm) and the feeling is very good.

I hope the pedals problem don't come up.

Thank you for all your support.

It calibrates itself, it is doing it right now, I am reinstalling profiler. I add a new exe and launch it with the profiler, and I set the options like some ppl said in this forums.

I think this happened to me before with a rumblepad I have from logitech, but I don't know how I fixed it.

I have FF on but didn't try the < > buttons.

Thanks for helping.

I already had that, 4.60.349, and my dfp is recognized and supported.

This is weird.

Omg...

That is the problem I am having, I find the wheel a bit hard to turn with FF activated in game, but I get no effects, it seems like FF is not working at all.

The DFP is new, arrived today. Anyone can help me please?

Thnaks

Now that I am an S2 liscensed and the DFP has arrived I want the paaaatch... 2 more days to go

The wheel is cool, but a bit sticky.. heeh

That's it... now I have to go and program a shitty java game. Omg...

I'll be back for luch. Bye.

Release the patch NOW.

Ok ok... DAMN IT... I'm starting to buy it now, in a couple of minutes I should be appearing as S1... ejem, 2 liscensed, and then I have to go to the uni and I won't be able to play until 22h or 23h ggggg.

Mmmmm, I can't really read Michelin on those F1 tyres, maybe someone can.

Anyway... please, release the patch soon, my DFP will arrive tomorrow or so, and as soon as the patch is released I'll buy the game, so if you want another liscensed driver (I've had enough demo races) release the damn patch!!!

I can see no light posts in that fogged blackwood pic... anyone can? Damn it...

We are in holidays in Spain this week, so I could earn a little money fixing some computers and I know now where it all is going to be spent in: DFP + S2Alpha once the patch comes out. Shame I have exams in 2 months time.

Currently I am not in front of my "big" computer, so I can't test if the game runs smooth now, but I can see no reference at all to the game problem in the release notes. Let's hope they missed up typing it... If anyone tests it please tell

What video? I'd like to see that video... where can I get it from?

Ati 6.1 drivers ready for download but there is not a single pointing to the LFS problem, not under the fixed issues and not in the known issues...

I'm looking forward to seeing it somewhere (fixed or not) in the 6.2 release notes.

I am thinking about buying the same wheel, what are your thoughts about it after some more testing?

What are the main differences with the Logitech MoMo racing wheel? Is the shiftpad and the paddler made of plastic?

What about the pedals?

Thanks all.

Hi, I think it's possible to use 3 monitors on a non Parhelia system. You "just" have to own an ati card and a motherboard with an ati chipset.

I think I read that having that combination you can use all the outputs from the graphic card plus the one from the mainboard, so you could have 3 different outputs.



Investigating a little bit would be a good Idea, but I don't even have time to play LFS right now so...

Bye

Is your p4 an HT one?

I'm running on a P4C 3 GHz HT enabled. x800xt 256mb 2GB DC PAT Before .12 i got above 100 fps, after .12 I got below 20. For someone that said that had a cli.exe error... I think it's because you have no .net framework installed.

Good, I hope things keep moving on so we can finally impulse ATI to fix that damn issue If ATI successes to fix the problem... whenever they do... I will finally buy the game. I've finally earnt some money this christmas, losing my holydays but I've got something to live with so...

Hi, I've just sent that form to ATI filled up completely. How many of you have done the same?

You mean it's going slow with the drivers only?

Quote from Agent248 :

No, I have a P4 with hyperthreading only...

HT simulates two cores, so we could say you (and I) have dual core systems, for catalyst dirvers at least. Since CAT .12 HT and Dual Core are supported, and we have to think that HT "works the same" as DC, but Squelch is right, we should try playing LFS with CCC uninstalled. I think it's a good control panel, but I preferred the old CP, but this is not an option since .12 so this may also be the problem. I think it's due to dual core configurations, although LFS uses only one core this could be affected by CAT drivers. Merry christmas from Spain.

But do you have dual core or hyper threading systems? That may be the problem. I own an HT pentium 4 Dario
