I bought this game a couple of weeks ago but haven't been able to evaluate it properly because of a freezing problem--After about 20 minutes or so the game would suddenly freeze with the sound looping, forcing me to do a warm reboot.

Such freezes kind of remind me of problem I had back in the day when I was into overclocking and the system would become too hot. However, all my components are running at stock speed. Plus, I haven't experienced any other freezing problems with my current rig.

Still, I re-applied some thermal paste (I was a bit careless the first time around), installed an extra fan to cool the south (north?) bridge and so forth.

When that didn't help I gave up. I mean, if my old rig is too crappy to run this game then fine. I've got other stuff I can do!

But last night I googled a bit and it seems *a lot* of people are having the same problems. And equally as many "solutions" have been posted, ranging from disabling Origin In Game to disablng Realtek audio Drivers to using 3rd party tools to underclock your hardware or even hacking the bf3 executable to allow it to allocate more than 2gb of ram. Simply put, at the official forum no one has any idea what they're talking about.

So ... LFS dudes. Do any of you guys happen to know what the REAL problem is and if so, is there a fix?

Regards,

Thomas

Hello dudes,

I'm writing a tiny script for managing LFS servers via the web and would like to know what commands requires a restart of the dedicated server?

From the top of my head I come to think of:

• host
  
• admin
  
• insim
  
• port
  
• mode (is this setting even used anymore?)
  
• usemaster
  

Am I wrong about any of the above? Are there any others?

Thanks in advance,

Thomas

By giving up your domain you basically make your (you and your previous teams) identities available for anyone to do whatever they please with. To be absolutely safe, you would have to unassociate every email, forum account, game account etc (which would take quite some time to to properly and safely).

If you are not in desperate need of money I would suggest that you "park" and keep your domain another year, at least.

No need to remove LFS Sweden (liveforspeed.se). We had a bit of a setback but it will be back online later this evening.

Dude, the Jäger goes in the freezer, not the cupboard!

AWESOME, Jens! Watching your movie made me a happy pie!

Anonymous came up with a nice idea: http://m.nrk.no/m/artikkel.jsp?art_id=17728485 (in Norweigan).

In short: This terrorist dude (can't remember his name, Arsberger Nürburgring Bratwurst, or whatever it is) wrote a manifest that he'd like the world to acknowledge. Now, their idea is to spread as many different versions of his writings as possible, so it will become impossible to establish which one is the real one. They encourage editing, adding, removing, falsifying, making things up, anything.

I like it!

heh?

Quote from Squelch :

Will multiple object selection have clipboard support?

I'm thinking that some layout features could be copied between two instances of LFS in editor mode using this feature.

Edit:
Actually no. I just thought that through, is probably a big ask, so please treat it as misplaced feature request.

Well, perhaps it indeed will be possible if LFS keeps the "clipboard" in memory when loading a new layout. ie:

1) Load the source layout
2) Copy the objects of choice
3) Load the "destination" layout and paste the objects.

Edited to add the same reservation Squelch had; Perhaps the discussion is out of place. But his post got me thinking, that's all!

Quote from E.Reiljans :

1. HDD is one of cheapest parts
2. fans are $5 each, and they dont really wear out fast
3. monitors are not part of PC
3. neither is keyboard
4. PSUs.. maybe, but usually people put overkill PSUs in their PCs, so that wear out is unnoticeable.

My point wasn't wether PC parts are cheap and can be replaced or not. I simply commented on your silly statement about PC components not wearing out. And you just proved my point.

Quote from E.Reiljans :

PC hardware mostly doesn't wears out, except maybe SSDs.

... And HDDs that produces faulty sectors, and fans that wear out and causes damage to both gpu and cpu, and monitors that looses brightness or turns green (especially CRTs), and keyboards that looses their "springyness" and PSUs that eventually die. Etc.

My laptop ain't ancient but this might still interesting to some, perhaps. I'm running Windows 7 on a IBM t42 (released 2005). 1,7Ghz Pentium M CPU and 1GB DDR2 SDRAM. It scores a whooping 1,0 in the "windows experience index" but in all seriousness, it actually works very very well. I would definitely not switch to XP.

10 years ago the experienced performance increase between the previous generation and the next was huge, but for the last 5 years or so you don't have to upgrade as often if all you are doing is running laptop applications.

Quote from The Very End :

No one knows for sure, but it's been a forum joke that every patch is released on a friday. Back in the time it actually were some truth in that, but they did of course come out on random days

Quote from Jonathon.provost :

ok,
Cheers

I'm not sure TVE is exactly right. Patches should be released on fridays because that's when we all receive an extra unlock. Some patches require that you re-unlock LFS. Also, I'm guessing that the peak of "can i haz unlock plz?" spam is when a patch is released. It all makes sense to me.

I'd like to vouch for ergin. Swell guy and an incredibly skilled racer (just wait 'til he buys a new wheel!).

Good luck, ergin!

@der butz, I'll get back to you during the day. I'm off for some breakfast right now.

@shot, I'm not here for the volksfest in particular. I'd gladly go anywhere rather than just staying at the hotel.

@e2mustang, well I am in Germany .... Returning to Sweden tomorrow evening.

I'd love to buy a fellow LFSer a beer!

Is anyone attending?

To me it does not matter what sub forum a post belongs in. My favourite section is New Posts. Thats all I need.

Let me see if I got this straight:

A couple of days ago Lible announced that he's been working on a new project that's going to open soon. The logo and thread title contains the domain lfsdb.net.

And three days later Birder goes ahead and registers that domain?

Quote :

Domain Name: LFSDB.NET
[...]
Creation Date: 28-aug-2010

Casey, Colin [email protected]

That's just .... I can't even ... I'm lost for words!

Quote from birder :

To be fair Lible I think its time I stopped supporting anything to do with LFS

Yeah, perhaps you should.

I think he has come up with something awesome that I've never seen before! I'd love to try it!

If I was to put together a brand new system I would definitely go with a Solid Slate Disk as a system disk rather than a classic HDD. Sure they're more expensive and you get less storage for the buck, but they're darn fast! And likely to last longer, too.

Check out either OCZ Vertex 2 or Corsair Force!

Naw, I simply didn't notice my query for "5 pack socks" returned ninja socks. I purchased a 5-pack 'o standard socks.

Can't be arsed to do the laundry ...

Quote from boswell3782 :

Any ideas? :-

Shouldn't there be a destination address/hostname somewhere in that table, so the router knows which local PC (server) to forward the packets to?

What router have you got?
