The screen should be something like this

Can you post yours?

I had similar problem long time ago, and the problem was that I hadn't fit the graphics card firmly into the AGP slot. Check this out, it has a clip at one end that clips onto the card to keep it steady.

Oh, and you have plugged the cable of the monitor onto the VGA right?

Another thought is to remove the battery of the MOBO for some time to reset the BIOS setting to their defaults.

Also at the config you posted you don't mention any memory dimms. If you have more than one on remove them and try one at a time. Also make sure you have put them in the correct slots.

If all that fails remove the mobo from the tower and check if any part of it has contact with the box so you have any sort of short circuit. Or even better take apart the whole thing and assemble it again.

The cpu temperature is fine, no problem there.

There is a problem if you go above 70 and even then the Intel CPUs start throttling (degrade the performance) and the PC auto shuts down at 80 or something I think.

But there also might be a threshold about the auto shutdown temps in your BIOS settings. Check this out also just in case it is too low.

What about the GPU and motherbord chipset temps? Are they also low? A screenie of the sensors page might be handy here.

And a final thought is to unplug and replug all your internal cables just in case something moved (slightly unplugged) during this movement you said you made.

Here is a free nice program to check the temps and other stuff of your PC.
Everest Home Edition 2.20 http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4181.html

Install it then run it and go to the Computer>Sensor node to check the temps.
Then without closing it launch LFS (use Shift F4 to go to window mode if you like) and monitor the temperatures.

lol Yes, the "translator" got all the credit

Similar to what happened with Colombus and Amerigo Vespucci.

Now please, stop crying and I'll get you a lolly pop

I don't like this attitude that only the best drive the BF1. This is not true.

Yes, it is the fastest of all, but the fact that is fast does not make it the hardest to drive. It has very good acceleration and brakes, TC, accurate steering and high grip compared to some other cars.

There are some good pactices to help you not to ran out of unlocks.

1. Have a 2nd copy of your unlocked LFS folder as a backup. Now, if something goes wrong with the one you are using you can overwrite it with the backup without using a new unlock.

2. If you have generall problems with your PC and need to format a couple of times or more, first sort out your problems and then unlock LFS.

3. If you have LFS related problems and/or downloading a fresh version you can always do some testing in demo mode also, so no need to unlock LFS just to check an issue if it's not specifically S2 ralated.

4. If you really want to do some testing check the date!!. If there are only 3-4 days left until the end of the month, why don't you make that testing now instead of with the arival of the new month? This way you'll have the 2 unlocks of the upcoming month untouched.

yes, that's a good shot.
And always in such type of problems a fresh download is always a good move.

There are two issues here. The visual part (flying objects) and the physics part (amount of damage).

The first part as said would be nice in the future, but I assume that it requires a lot programming and hardware resources, so +1 on this but not an urgent one. It could happen sometime in the future, maybe when we leave from the DirectX 8 engine.


For the damage forgiveness now, I don't think that the bf1 is very forgiving at all. If you push the car and try to be competative with some fast drivers you'll see that even the passing of the curbs gives you a little damage eah time and that after 10-15 laps you have some important damage in the car. And if you make a mistake and have a bigger impact, most of the time the damage is real big.
So, more damage is not what I'd like

Most of the settings are self explenatory I guess

On the left hand corner there are the edit keys in this form

<shortcut> - <function>
eg
O - Object
which means press O to put an object on the track etc

Below this are the general User Interface keys in the same form
<shortcut> - <function>
eg
Esc - Exit
which means Escape key exits the editor

On the bottom left hand corner there are the orientation tools.

For the first two to work you must select an item first.
Eg
press S. Now you have selected the "Start Position" arrow
Now with the mouse slide the knob of the "heading" slider and see the arrow rotating. The direction of the arrow is the direction of the nose of the car at the start/finish line. When you are happy with it press O to put the object on to the track below your current mouse position.

The same goes for checkpoints and the finish line.
Note the little square in the middle of the objects. The active object has a yellow color and the rest have orange. If you click on this little square you can select a new object and change its position/orientation and then move it with the "M" key or even delete it.


The rest of the options there determine the camera position of the viewer.


On the up right hand corner there are some buttons with the names of some groups of objects. When you click on "Chalk" for example you are getting a list of chalk objects on the right like
Chalk ahead
Chalk ahead2
.
.
.
Chalk line.

If you click on the "Cones" group button you are getting another list. Click on these items to select them, change their orientation as you wish and then put them on the track by pressing the O key.

And fianlly on the bottom right hand corner there are some layout related options like the laps required to finish the race, and the Load save options for the layout.

Well, that was a brief summary of the interface of the editor, if you have some more queries post here again

The 7600GT isn't that much better than the 6800GT to upgrade to this card. The 7600GT is almost as good as an 6800 Ultra and not in all cases.

The 7600GS is even lower the one you already have imo due to the 128bit bus.

If you had an 6600GT the the 7600GT upgrade would be awesome but from the 6800GT a good core better the one you already have is the ATI X1950.

Check here for the models http://www.rage3d.com/reviews/video/atix1950/

Quote from cool_big_andy :The green is abit too strong

You mean the phosphorescent green right? Yes I agree on that too.
I'd prefer it in the color of the green of the nvidia logo of the rear.

Also I'd like a little more black color on the front part of the car also.

It's a very nice skin

wow, I really haven't noticed that and now I checked there are my 3 latest pics there. All the others are overwritten

+1 to change that behavior in a future update...

Yes, that's what he means. You just have to insert a "Start Line" object wherever you want to and the track starts from this point then.

The autocross editor works on ALL tracks.

Isn't this getting a little (or A LOT) tiresome?

1. People who are still in demo asking for more content cause they are bored of the same cars/tracks all the time and

2. People who OWN a PC and sometimes even a console, complaining that they cannot afford bying LFS.

The short answer to 1 is Buy S2, and the answer to 2 is that you are either lying or you have different priorities in your life so stop whining.

It's really really hard to convince someone that if you have a PC and an internet connection at your disposal you cannot also get 36 euros or whatever your currency is to buy LFS.

Quote from nesrulz :Scawen, can u pls add 2 buttons per one command in controls menu?

Example: MOMO Racing Wheel (Shift Up and Shift Down), paddle shifters or sequential shifter in same time...

RGDS

This has an easy work around.
Assign the Shift Up and Shift Down to 2 keyboard keys also. Then use the profiler of your wheel to send these keystrokes whenever you click the paddle shifters or the suquential chifter and it's done.

Hi, and welcome to LFS.

Check these two threads
http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=19997
http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=19947

I guess if you try to be a clean racer you could be accepted at least for some trial period even if you are a newbie.

The final decision is up to the admins of the teams of course, but asking them politely to recruit you worths a try.

Hi,
Open your cfg.txt file with notepad. It's in the same folder as the LFS.exe.
Find the line that sais Game Admin
It should be something like:
Game Admin mypassword

Now open the config.txt file in the ghostcar folder and find the line
adminPass=Pass
and replace the word pass with the word "mypassword" or whatever your password is.

With a few words you must have both admin passwords the same in the config files.
