I was playing LFS when my computer suddenly restarted itself, which is odd as its the 1st time its ever done it. Anyway, I come to play LFS again but lost all of my ingame settings / graphic settings, etc and I cannot load up my usual driver name (the one i was using when my computer crashed.)

Ive reinstalled LFS but its the same :/ Any idea's anyone?

If anyone can help, please do as Im experiencing the same problems.

What did you do as Im getting the same problem, except at certain times of the day or what day it is will make it either loose connection or work perfectly fine. But its all random, on monday at 8pm I can get on, but Tuesday at 8pm or next monday at 8pm I cant get on???

Anyone know if the server is up??

Im still getting problems connecting to servers.

70% of the time that I try to connect to a server I loose connection. It normally starts with the server list taking ages to load, followed by it taking ages to connect to a server. Then when I do connect I follow people around the track but I see my lag bar creeping up until I loose connection.

My internet is perfectly fine. I can go play another online game, load web pages, stream music ect with no connection problems, its just lfs. It cant be my router or ports because non of them have changed from before this started happening.

Whats more puzzling is that 30% of the time it will connect fine with no problems.

Can anyone help?

Many Thanks
Ryan.

Quote from Victor :

i am curious; can you try to reinstall LFS to a new folder (so you leave your current one untouched) and see if you can then connect as usual?

thanks for the quick reply Im just downloading it now so ill post up results in about 5mins (600+ kbs = win :P)

EDIT

Just tried it and the same again. I also forgot to mention but it takes ages to complete the list of hosts and many no replys.

Well for some reason recently LFS will fail at connecting to a server. At 1st it will take ages to download skins, objects ect and then when (and if, most of the time it says it looses connection) I get on the server it lags out and looses connection. Meanwhile The internet, msn, xfire, other games are fine so it cant be the modem.

Ialmrnt5 keeps crashing and I dont know why. Its only started happening since ive reformatted my comp and reinstalled lfs. Ive got the up to date drivers.Ryan.

Being able to stall the engine would be a great feature.
