Can't say I've noticed, if anything my FPS went up from X -> Z with the improved graphics rendering yokey

Very, needs a shot of air every couple of weeks to stop the fans getting clogged

now lost all my email accounts....im screwed...**** knows what i can do now

Not that it matters now, but if I were you I'd disconnect the net from your PC as soon as possible. Back up only your most important stuff, the less the better, and nuke the HDD. The longer you stay with the PC, the more you're going to lose Don't install another OS until you've done a full format either, otherwise it could easily transfer across to the new OS

Hope you get it sorted mate, I hate this kind of shit

I, for one, would like to welcome our new LFS overlord

Or, if you can still use your account, join an empty server and sit there. That'll show him

Quote from NjHarwood :

ok i got bigger issues...all the pics just deleted...screw this...this computers getting the wipe. bye all

Yup, you have a keylogger

Quote from S14 DRIFT :

I'm sure you can use insim to force max fuel to 1%.

Nah, you'd have to get everyone to run an outgauge program client-side that links back to a central program server-side, which would report the fuel levels. But that's just damn awkward

That does sound like a good event though, although for true hypermiling you could get up to speed and turn the engine off and coast the rest of the race

Hmm, if he's a known and regular user of TC, it shouldn't be that hard for the admins to narrow down who it might be (lag, pings, driving style, grammar, punctuation, etc.) I suppose. If they're any good they'll be able to get his IP from netstat and narrow it down even more

All I can say is: Internets. Serious business.

Wow, a lot of these going around lately

Have you scanned your PC for spyware? Because if you change your passwords, he won't be able to go online unless he has the new passwords For now all you can do is to contact the devs and ask them to master ban your account until you can sort it. That'll at least stop the account from being used until you can fix the problem

Also, make sure you've changed the GAME password, and not just the WEB password. It's a simple mistake, but that could be why he's still able to go online

Don't delete your account, if you do they'll only turn to another account. Maybe the devs can contact his ISP or something and get him properly punished, I don't see why not

I tried 18WoS:Across America very briefly, but I'll be returning it. First off, it took me an hour to get it working in Vista x64, it kept crashing on startup. Eventually, I got it working, but I could play in max 800x600 resolution (which in it's self is a joke, when you're used to 1920x1080...), with 16bit colour and every other option turned off or down to the lowest, with no AA. Fair enough I thought, maybe the sim itself will make up for it.

Umm, no...I started in San Fransisco, spent 10 minutes trying to set up my wheel, and as soon as I took off zoomed up to 30mph and hit a wall. Lovely. And the brakes have absolutley no effect when you go below, say, 20. After that you're relying on momentum to slow you down, which isn't very dependable when travelling downhill...And the steering isn't recognised properly either, so I have to counter-steer to straighten up, which gets boring. All in all, it's actually far worse than ETS

On a better note, I'm currently downloading EU Map 1.3 for ETS, which, if it all goes smoothly, will mean a far better game

Fack, I've to wait another year to try again...

Now this sounds like an idea

I thought being able to control my scrolling with my thoughts would be cool, but this will be even better

Woohoo, first post of the new year

What the hell?

Hmm, I don't know how LFS does it then...Whenever I change OS (I have 3 at boot, XP, Vista x86 and Vista x64) LFS locks. And when I changed my system, but kept the HDD to transfer everything to my new one, it was locked

Quote from Stuff :

Small problem there too. It goes: if 0, congrats, set to 1. if 1, try again. That means if its 0, both will be executed. Slap in an else and you're good to go.

Good point, never noticed that

When you unlock LFS, it stores your machine's hardware info, along with your windows license key, into a file somewhere (I don't know exactly where, but it's somewhere in your LFS folder). So if you change your hardware or OS, it locks again. That's why if you move to a different PC with an unlocked LFS, it will re-lock, as all the info won't be the same

Shouldn't it be:


?

Did you set the elapsed event?


Did you wait the 30 mins? (1,800,000 would be 30 mins btw, it goes in MS)

IMO Euro Truck could have been brilliant, but it was let down by terrible physics, controller input and the uberly repetitive landscape. You have to pick one country at the start of the game, and you'll stay there driving up and down the exact same motorway until you earn enough money to go up and down the exact same motorway with slightly different foliage in another country.

It's fun for a while, and if the controller inputs were fixed, and you had to drive B roads instead of motorways, then it would be a brilliant game. Gets boringly samey samey after a very short time though, much like Bus Sim (which had just as bad controller inputs and physics, but at least Truck Sim works in Vista :shrug

E: I've yet to try the 18WoS series, I think I'll have a look for a demo tomorrow, or if I'm around GameStop I may just go blind

I've got new harware coming in the mail this coming up week so when that gets here i will install LFS on a spare 500gb hard drive i have and see if that works.

There's your problem. Get a rig, and stick to it. If you're building or upgrading, you don't need to install windows and re-unlock LFS everytime you get a new part. That's just madness. When all your parts arrive, swap them or assemble them. Then install LFS and unlock. Even doing this, you could theoretically build 2 new PCs a week and still be able to unlock LFS on each one

Ah sweet, never knew my 9800GTX had Physx. Was thinking I'd have to find some hax to fool the game into thinking I had one

Still, I'm wondering what the game is. Nothing on the Physx list looks like it

Quote from Gills4life :

That's F1 Championship Edition right? That's actually F106. Got it too. Don't like it much though. The steering is rather shocking. Hope codies do a better F1 game, sadly I just can't see them making anything near a sim. Finger's crossed they will prove me wrong.

F106, that's the one

I got the 60GB when it was released (April 2007 I think), and now have GTA IV, CoD4, R&C: Tools of Destruction, Splinter Cell Double Agent, F107, Motorstorm, NFS Carbon, and just got Little Big Planet. A little disappointed with LBP to be honest, I can't see the attraction so far. I haven't gone online yet though, or even played multiplayer, going to go through SP first. Just finished the wedding level now.

As for the PS3 itself, it's well worth the money. Best game so far is either CoD4 or GTA IV, lots of laughs to be had online even with strangers. Met one guy over IV who said he'd exchanged a significant amount of cocaine with a guy in Scotland for his family kilt. Good times :rolleyes:

19" 1280*720, I use 96°

According to Bob's FOV Calculator I should be using 38°, but when I use that FOV I can just about make out the bottom of the windshield. There's no feeling of speed either, I got a stop-go for the first time in years when I was going along the pitlane in FZR

I don't get people who use much higher FOVs, like over 120° (without having a special screen setup of course), everything appears stretched. And then when you look left/right everything gets skewed to the point of seeing nothing
