yes but i downloaded the patch from gamers heel mirror and i got that virus at the same time i think..just trying to clarify whats going on..as anyone got a clue about my other problem with patch or do we think it was cuased by virus???
Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but the patch hasn't even been posted on the LFS homepage, and I don't see a download for patch W on gamershell.
Maybe you're talking about the patch V download?
Anyway, I'll download the patch V from gamershell to see if they're infected. I can't imagine though.
edit: skip that, they have tons of different servers ofcourse, which one did you download from?
Well, tough. You're just not gonna get them because the sound engine has made a step forward. There is no way that for one person (most people are happy with the changes), Scawen will reverse the patch. Suck it up. Life can be a bitch (and it gets much worse than getting an LFS sound patch that's made a step backwards in your eyes), the sooner you learn that, the better. It's not like LFS will sound like this forever anyway.
Live For Speed, and any of it's patches, do not have viruses in them. I've downloaded pretty much everything from the devs, and never had a problem. Gamershell (Gamers Heel) doesn't give people viruses either - they are too well known to allow trojans in their downloads.
I suspect you've been looking at monkey porn again, and got a virus from that!
lol i dont think so but i may have picked somthing up,,just having a cleanout ..evrything i now download says infected,,,jeeeze people dont let your ten year old kids on the pc when your not there...hope i can sort it cause i have no lfs at the moment,,,dammit all to hell

Didn't you read the fine print ? - LFS is a virus. :tired:
I just did 13.5 hours 136 laps FE4 FZ5

[OT]
Dunno where/how I lost 15fps from v8-v9, anyone see where they went to?
I even went LOD to 0.5, still not lost em. damn Wrong thread
[/OT]
Testing W now.....
edit:
W patch is no better unfortunately. I get 30-60fps LOD 0.4 on W, when I used to get 45-60fps LOD 0.85 on V8. All my other settings are the same. AA=2
Dynamic LOD reduction 1.0
Dust 1.0
Mirrors 0.2
Shadow : low res
Wheels/Trees/Flags/Rubber : Main
Just a huge 15 FPS drop (33% loss). Seems to be massivley affected by Layouts and multiplayer. I understand My GPU is sorta oldish - but I have a huge drop here (when V8 was running nicely) and I must now run LFS at 0.2 LOD and that looks quite bad. Quite a few in Multiplayer players report the same large drops is FPS but most wont post here.
Until now noone has been able to establish that an LFS patch downloaded from any official mirror has a virus so there isn't anything wrong with the devs' choices.
And once again, patch W is only hosted on liveforspeed.net.......
this is how FUD starts and spreads.
//edit: oh, and filefront IS an LFS mirror already!
I have the same problem - my virus software recognises the file as a threat (same file name W32/downloader...) and immediately deletes the downloaded package. I'm using the autodownloader.
