Version 5.0.0 released with removed InSim Relay API which has been discontinued, and a minor breaking change in the OutGauge / OutSim constructor options.

Full release notes

It means that the email address is already used by another user account. Are you sure you don't have another LFS account with your new email address already?

Mod is up for review: https://www.lfs.net/forum/thread/112106-HIMALAYA-1000T10

Quote from tankslacno :

Also, I assume the LFS hosts can still continue to use the version 0.7F with this version?

There is no host version 0.7G.

Quote from rodrigoserra :

i am eager for the changes in the graphs, is there privacy for these tests?

What do you mean? Maybe you use a translator and it's not translated well?

Quote from tankslacno :

If it's the former, better not to accidentally click that link In any case, the latter option is definitely safer, because there's always a possibility someone has found out user's LFS password for the site, but doesn't know how to access their email. In case the current unlock code becomes obsolete instantly when someone requests a new one, one can simply annoy other users by requesting new unlock codes and preventing them accessing LFS with their older unlock code.

When someone else gets access to your account and keeps requesting new unlock codes, you will see the e-mails in your inbox that you didn't request, which means you should immediately change your web password so they get logged out automatically.

I'd say it's recommended now but you can still opt out. However, it's going to be released as an official patch soon for everyone anyway.

Is there an issue that you have with the patch?

You can still use 0.7F without this test patch but you won't get the support for the recent security update and other updates listed in the release notes in the first post.

Quote from J.E.R.E_254 :

Hi Scawen, I have a simpler suggestion for recognizing accounts in the game (like passwords).

When you enter your username, a message will appear below confirming that the account exists on the page.

And with passwords, you could put an x if it doesn't match or a ✓ if it does.

I don't think it's necessary or sensible to show the confirmation "live" before unlocking - it does show "Your user name was not found" when you try to unlock with a non-existing user name.

On the auto updater screen, the country names for download locations are not translated, even though there are lines for them in the translation system. Would it be possible to have them translated?

Yes, the 1 week waiting time is there for a security reason. If someone else steals your login details and logs in, then you will be notified and will have 1 week to update your password before they manage to change the e-mail address and you lose access to your account.

Quote from Scawen :

If anyone knows where that is set up or information is displayed on the website, please let me know so I can perhaps comment out some code or add a message instead of some stuff describing how to use it, although you can't.

LFSWorld - Racers & Hosts online - InSim relay tab: https://www.lfsworld.net/?win=hosts&whichTab=insim_relay

(it takes a few seconds to load the tab due to the outage)

Quote from kipieslim :

Correct me if I'm wrong, but i think that field is called "staff pick" in the REST API.

"Staff pick" is not the same as "approved".

I think that once the e-mail is sent, the user should be redirected to a different "success" page which should do nothing when being refreshed.

Did you follow the steps that Scawen wrote above?

Where is your LFS installed?

Can you describe what exactly you did in more detail? What do you mean it auto logs you out from the game? Did you unlock successfully with the new unlock code and then it went back to the locked state?

Quote from McLaud :

Thanks a lot! :-D With this I am lost, I don't understand this part:

'... and is set automatically and sent to you in an email when you click a link on your details page.'

Read the "How to use your unlock code:" section in that thread.

When I request a reset e-mail, the text wraps onto two lines and the 2nd line with the time is partially hidden.

There's also this sticky thread in General discussion forum: https://www.lfs.net/forum/thread/112018-Your-unlock-code-does-not-match%3F--You-need-to-set-an-unlock-code%3F

Quote from J.E.R.E_254 :

Scawen, I don't know who you are, but thanks for trying to help me, and I hope to return the favor someday. (Same here, guys.)

Scawen is the programmer of LFS.

Quote from J.E.R.E_254 :

I also tried it recently, ctrl+c to copy and ctrl+v to paste, but the message is the same "unlock code does not match"

Sorry, I just feel like they don't take it seriously.

Scawen tried to help you, doesn't that mean he takes it seriously? We're just trying to figure out what the issue is. You aren't the only one having troubles with the unlock code. Please be patient.

Have you tried opening your email client on your PC and copy & pasting the unlock code into LFS?

Quote from Bokujishin :

There's a pinned thread for this already: https://www.lfs.net/forum/thread/111761-Officially-licensed-vehicle-mods

The Ferat Vampire is missing from that list, though.

This, closing thread.

I think it's good to wait for an official update, this is still only a test patch.

In the source code using the LFS API, these are used as values of URL query string parameters called "client_id" and "client_secret".
