Hello

I've been getting back into LFS and found to race online I need to have Version S2 X. I read through how to get it and found that it should give me an auto-update when I try to connect to multiplayer. However, my game is not doing this. I was told if I'm using Vista, I need to be an administrator on my computer, but I don't have Vista. Just normal old Windows XP. I was hoping someone could help me with this problem. I have done things to my game, such as given different cars different headlights, taillights, brake-pad colors, little things like that. And also updated the smoke and dirt textures to look better. Is that the problem? I can give more info if you need it to diagnose a problem. All I get is an error connecting to the master server, and three reasons why there was a problem. I've checked those reasons multiple times and none of them are the true problem. Do I have to pay for S2 X? I got the impression it was a free update.

Thanks, I miss racing online and I really want to give those Formula BMWs a shot

No you dont have to pay for S2 0.5X, your version probably just don't have the autoupdater in it (that was only introduced relatively recently (0.5W I think)).

You just need download the full version from lfs.net (link below), and install it over the top of your existing version.

Bear in mind that S2 0.5X doesnt have the Formula BMW in, that's currently only in a test patch. The test patches don't appear on the auto updater and needs to be installed manually from here:
