We still have a chance to see the light if 0.6A :something

Post 4000 is reserved for TEST patch 0.6A :shhh:

Quote from Furiously-Fast :

I heard about that one. And there was another one about a so-called 'Rally pack' which includes updated physics for gravel surfaces, 2 rally cars, 2 buggies and 3 brand new RallyX courses, all for £12. Don't expect it to come this year though.

The physics may also be updated for wet roads and added rain :shhh:

I can assure you nobody will buy a licence for a noob. Even if you were a decent driver, I doubt anyone would.

Quote from Dajmin :

I wouldn't want to risk it with the PS3 either. It takes a far smaller scratch to bugger a blu-ray than it does a DVD, because the data on the disc is in a much smaller physical space.

If in doubt, pull it out. That phrase will serve everyone well through life

The blu-rays are coated with Zircon, a substance almost as tough as diamond. Trust me, ALL of my blu-rays dont have a SINGLE scratch. I also bought a second hand game (they tend to be scratched to hell) and it didnt had any scratch either. So unless you hard scratch the disk with a screw driver, it won't scratch.

If they're done and at optimizing stage, I don't see why they can't be released as a TEST patch. Some of us have powerful CPUs, the optimization can be done while we're playing

Everyone is waiting for the new patch to come so they can start playing again

Quote from arco :

Release early. Release often. And listen to your customers.

I support this. But not as a official release.

We could have a S2/S3 users only "EXPERIMENTAL" version of the current patch in development, this version would be unfinished and bug-filled with a section dedicated to it and maybe topic locked to avoid people posting and spamming. This will increase sales by a lot and make people happy, calm and supportive.

After this experimental version is more stable and less bug-filled, it would go as official public TEST patch where people can report bugs. I've seen this method for plenty of games and it works GREAT.

Scawen, please consider this.

I'm hoping to see the first test patch before septemberI'm guessing the physics are done and only bugs are delaying them, apart from possibly unfinished VW stability control. By the time it gets released, the other unanunced S3 car should also be done (6 months should be enought time for a car). I'm more excited for the new content and stuff than the physics, specially:

Quote from Scawen :

Unfortunately the slow progress with the physics does delay the release of the Scirocco and Rockingham, but it can't really be helped. What I really want to do is get those improvements out there and then work on some more fun things I've been thinking about. You'll understand I can't comment on future things that may or may not happen, but there are things I want to do but can't until this hard stuff is out of the way.

Fun things sound like fun


Anyway, I'm pumping some hype to help unpatient people, this patch will be the biggest and best patch of LFS history!

Quote from Flame CZEt :

I think a video footage would be better in this case. E.g. VWS doing a lap at Rockingham would be good.

A week later? You could come back some months later and you'll find the same thing

The trailer was supposed to be out today, but it got delayed to next week

Quote from boothy :

At the BTCC meeting anyway, it was forbidden to drive with your engine on into the area between the garages and the concrete blocks, the cars had to be pushed and once pushed back into the garages that was the end of your session. All pitstops were done "over the wall".

Although, driving out onto the track, I can't honestly remember if we went from the garage area out to the pit lane and then onto the track or not...

A reminder though that the BTCC is there this weekend, so for those going make sure you have a shot of LFS

I hope LFS is there. Anyone from here that will go?

Quote from TigerClw :

Playing on Hamachi with all cars and tracks. That sounds good to me.
And yeah, just remembered, there are mods now, so those can be used online also. So as far as i can see, Hamachi seems like a good alternative if i think about it.

Playing with what, 1-2 people? Great fun. And mods only change the car's shape so you'll be driving the same cars with different exterior.

Stop being a hobo and buy the goddamn game. If you saved 1€ every month within those 4 years that you have been demo, you would have had enought to buy S2 a year ago.

In the last two day I've been getting these weird car crashes twice and it's very annoying. My LFS is unmodded except texture mods. I don't lag, my ping is very good (~50).

Is it because others use vob mods? Lag? Physics fail?

Look, spec me.

Meh, not really funny but I was bored. Notice all the details :smash:

Quote from AndRand :

Why not releasing them separately?

Because they want the Scirocco to feel like the real one with the new physics.


But that isn't a excuse when it comes to Rockingham, S3, GTR interiors, etc..

I'm happy for hearing Scawen's explaination.

Days pass and this feels like it's not moving anywhere. It always "too far" to give ANY sort of estimate, starting to lose hope on this.

Quote from Amynue :

Both DX10 and DX11 does not exist

Lmao what? Have you been living under a rock the last 4 years?

Quote from bmwe30m3 :

Let the devs do theyr work, the patch is ready when it is.
btw, i saw a dream last night that lfs was getting dx8(dno why dx8).

We ARE on DX8. (iirc)

Quote from blakehoo88 :

it is a scam... all they want is peoplez email address to sell to other marketing companies. If it wasn't a scam alot more people would be able to redeem prizes and be happy

Yeah right... from where do you think they would get the money to give more prizes to "a lot more people".

He's playing right now at LCS cruise. Nothin I can do

Quote from JPeace :

well duh.

Wasn't* that obvious before?

Of course not. The last report was three months ago and the patch has been in development for a year and a half.

Thanks for clarification.


Kinda dissapointed to hear that the patch is still so far away that you cannot give any sort of estimate. But as soon it's good, I can wait.
