Quote from Racon :

Could LFS not run the words in an MSO packet through a blacklist before it prints it to screen? It could then do some combination of blocking the message; logging the IP; kicking/banning the user; notifying you for verification; etc.

Perhaps, maybe Scawen could look into this as an alternative

Lol repeat83, who are you to voice your opinion? We don't really care about you because you support cracking of LFS so much.

Quote from repeat83 :

Can you explain where is here fraud?

Users to paid money but not got service? May be they was unbanned at cracked servers (who told about LFS master server?)

When innocent people go onto a pirated service, this is already illegal. When they then get "banned" by wonderful "admins" and then get told to pay cash to be unbanned, that's then fraud and a scam. No?

Quote from repeat83 :

may be no need to react to lfspro now?
How many users online there is?
One of reason why LFS Pereulok is closed it was big online. "We" grew and become big. A little much more time then online in official servers may be less then at LFS Pereulok online. This is wrong.

Maybe if the cracking stopped, official LFS would have more user count, no? The numbers are divided and numbers here dwindling they are being provided with a free solution to something.
You guys expect a game to develop without support?

If they are using a bot then this will not be resolved anytime soon - see if secretuser3kk comes up...

Since reporting the host and domain registrant doesn't help, perhaps those users who have been scammed to "pay to unlock banned account" can post the Lfsp bank account, bank, Paypal or other details here.

Then someone can officially report and get that account and bank holder frozen for fraud or something to stop all this nonsense. Make it a legal case this way, without the trouble of court fees or a lawyer to challenge the domain host.

Better still if someone doxxes the account holder, that way he himself will get police treatment for the fraud he is doing...

Quote from Siikais1 :

This one is still up?
There is another one
look @ chat

We have to just keep adding phrases to server language blacklist to prevent them from coming back.

Pretty annoying, not least that their own users are being cheated, lol

Is there no way someone via external means can forcefully shut down their domain and hosting? Can't something be done, legally or illegally? Surely Scawen can leverage off having some kind of right in owning LFS and its assets and those fiddly copyright stuff that the tweak domain in question is breaching..

My old-ish laptop that I ran LFS with before my desktop was a Lenovo G500s with Intel Pentinum and 2gb ddr3 RAM, quite low sec graphic card and fully stock.

It handled LFS alright with at (if I recall) 70fps max 30fps avg with graphics turned down besides shadows. These laptops can run LFS decently already as they are, but may lag a bit more at detailed tracks like Westhill or Blackwood.

On the other hand, I also had a spare laptop to the Lenovo that was even older, a HP Probook or Elitebook (can't remember) with a very basic Intel duo Core, 2gb RAM and shitty AMD graphics. That one barely got 30fps, hovering at 18fps most of the time with all graphics down including no shadows.

Dang! Round 1 is probably the only round I can attend for now

On the topic of the fraud, if you know the address, name and details of the person who stole the company's VAT or whatever, you and the legit company could do a police report and it'll probably resolve the matter because the retard used his actual name in registering the scam, acvording to your descriptoon

Qualifying



The unfamiliar track surface of the Norisring was an unknown for the majority of the drivers, with most unable to get to grasps with the lesser grip on offer. With the session turning into a proving ground for the field as they lapped and slowly found speed, it was [TC-R] Adam who set the early pace ahead of his championship-leading team mate, Pete, ahead of a surprisingly on-the-pace Pedro(17).

As the session wore on, Adam and Pete dipped into the 1:04s before the latter put in a lap to take provisional pole. Behind them, [6S] SIMOX and J.Pickard traded laps as they held down 3rd and 4th respectively, with [MRc] Michal in 6th and [LCS-R] Texas unable to find pace, stuck down in a lowly 9th.

Closing off the final qualifying of Season 1, it was Pete who edged out his team mate to get pole position and put him in the best position he could ask for for the race start!


Race

13. [LCS-R] Texas +25L Technical
14. [6S] SIMOX +26L Technical
15. 3skimas +26L Technical

Fastest Lap : [TC-R] Pete - 1:04.89
Penalties :


Away we go for Round 9!



Team-mates make contact

With a long run into Turn 1, it was a case of best start. With an even initial launch, the front 2 depart side by side, with Michal in P6 getting an excellent start to draw alongside and past into 4th by the first braking zone.

A rare misjudgement by Pete saw the [TC-R] driver cut in front of his team mate and subsequently half-spinning, pinned against Adam's bumper in what was a mildly hilarious accident. However, this put Pete right at the back of the field, with work to do.




Optimistic overtaking by 3skimas

In all the chaos, 3skimas saw opportunities and managed to pass several drivers to leapfrog himself from 7th into 2nd by the middle sector, driving clean around the outside of Pedro.

Behind him, Michal repassed Pedro to retake 3rd after losing out in the turn 1 incident. [TC-R] Adam was also slightly compromised, now settling back down in 4th. A few cars back, a regular fast-starter GT4tube was now up to 8th, challenging [LCS-R] Texas for 7th as they begun the 2nd lap. [TC-R] Elmo had gained a position whilst [WCL] T.Soini dropped to the back of the pack after a poor opening lap.




Early pitters on Lap 1

Relegated to the back, Pete and Redbot chose to complete their compulsory stop on the end of the first lap, a move which would prove vital for their races later on. Emerging in 14th and 15th respectively, they were on the move with the clear track in front of them.




The final hairpin

After sustaining pressure from Adam, 3skimas finally let his defense down exiting Turn 3, allowing the [TC-R] driver to draw alongside and past for 2nd place, with a substantial gap to race leader, SIMOX.
Further back, the battle for 5th was hotting up between Pickard and Texas, both of whom were exchanging paint on several occasions.

3skimas attempted to get back at Adam on the very next lap, but instead failed, running way too deep into Turn 1, and allowing [MRc] Michal to get past for 3rd and barely holding off Pickard in 5th.




[LCS-R] Texas outbraking himself and wiping out J.Pickard at Turn 4

Lap 3 saw [WCL] J.A.Katila pit for an undercut, hoping to leapfrog the drivers ahead who were tussling for position. Somehow in all of the battling, GT4tube had now slid in between Pickard and Texas in 5th, before an error allowed Texas past again. 3skimas, who had been racing well in the upper mid-field, disconnected due to personal reasons, pulling out of what was to be a great finishing position!

At this very point on Lap 4, a fundamental error in the track resulted in a butchered Insim Checkpoint move which caused the timing system to briefly cut out, which saw [6S] SIMOX lose a lap on his tracker and bringing out a Red Flag soon after.

Due to the Red Flag and subsequent lap countback, the incident between Pickard and Texas was nulled.




The first Red Flag of the season

The drivers pulled into the pit-lane orderly for a positional re-dress, complicated by positioning issues and incidents that resulted in spectating. In the Red Flag period, main championship contender [6S] SIMOX, who had been leading the race, unfortunately left the server due to personal commitments.




The field weaving behind the Safety Car

The race restarted under Safety Car conditions, with new race leader [TC-R] Adam up front ahead of [MRc] Michal, J.Pickard and GT4tube, the cruise hero who was now up to 4th.

With no tire blankets in Live For Speed, majority of the field were now on stone-cold tires, aggressively warming them up for the race restart. Meanwhile, a poor connection by [LCS-R] driver Texas saw him drop out of the race and out of 5th position.



The race restarts

The field closed up for the restart, with Adam getting timing it perfectly to lead by a margin over 2nd.

GT4tube and Pedro(17) were locked in a battle for the top 5 placings as the front 3 slowly drove into the distance.




Battle for 2nd

As the laps wore on, it was clear Michal was holding Pickard up and slowly allowing GT4tube and the midfield to close back up. With a great defense, the MRc racer managed to fend Pickard off much to the latter's dismay.

In the meantime, the battling for 5th allowed the fast charging [TC-R] Pete to climb right to the back of the top 5, and was soon past both TGT4tube and Pedro as the championship leader sought for yet another win.




Carving his way through the field, Pete

With most of the field yet to make their stop, early stoppers Katila, Pete and Redbot were in optimal positions. And this proved it self once the first stint ended, with most drivers pitting and emerging behind these drivers.

Adam had pitted and emerged in 5th behind GT4tube, which handed the lead to [MRc] Michal before he himself came in for his pit stop a couple of laps after, not before battling with Pete, eventually getting passed.




A stunning comeback drive

With the laps running down and a huge gap, [TC-R] Pete brought his RB4 home for his 5th win of the season, clinching the championship in the process! His team mate [TC-R] Adam finished 2nd after an equally fine drive and great passes after his pit stop. [MRc] Michal finished a well-earned 3rd after a fine drive, equalling his best result, with [WCL] J.A.Katila in 4th with a well-planned strategy.

Further back, Redbot finished 8th after lack of pace following his ideal strategy, with [TC-R] Elmo finishing a lonely 10th and PitlaneRacer rounding up the points' finishers.






With a great comeback following the Summer Break, Pete wins his first LRL championship ahead of SIMOX and Trespasser. Congraulations!



Stick around for updates on upcoming events and Season 2, in the meantime, thank you for participating, and have a good one!

Good news, a clean reinstall worked and the issue is now resolved.

Weird situation this, one that I have seen 0 tried solutions for, but at least now it's out for anyone who has the same issue.

Thanks to

Quote from LakynVonLegendaus :

for the help!

Overnight didn't help, proceeding to reinstall.

Strange, in Programs, LFS does not show up at all.

Quote from LakynVonLegendaus :

Dunno
Maybe some registry got messed up after hardware change.. I would try fresh LFS install

I'll see tomorrow, wait it out overnight to see if its just an ISP thing, if it still doesn't connect then I'll do the reinstall

(got to save the files first, too )

Quote from LakynVonLegendaus :

Connection looks ok. Did you try it with Firewall/Antivirus off?

Never had a problem with either for 2 years, and didn't install a new Antivirus or changed settings before the RAM install.

Should I turn Firewall + Antivirus off?

Turned off everything from Firewall (including trying settings of Inbound, outbound ectra), Defender, Mbam. Still unable to connect to Master Server, and network is perfectly fine otherwise.

You can try to ping master.liveforspeed.net here for example.

Hi, just a quick question if anyone is able to answer -

Just installed a new set of RAM and eager to get back on LFS. Booting up the game and clicking on Multiplayer throws up the "no reply" message after about 15 seconds of idling. Restarting the game does not resolve issue.

Resetted the Wifi, replugged the grey network cable, but to no avail. Contacted my buddy from same country and was told the Master Server is fine. I am able to access LFSW with no issue and the ingame account is unlocked.

Any ideas? IP block, ISP block, banned from server, any clues?
Any help appreciated, if not I'll just sleep on this one till the morning

Please migrate to NDR.Death Rally server, same password

Please stand by for information, the LFS Neatherlands master server has crashed.

Standby here for more information and the LRL Discord

Try adding the website and the keyword "lfspro" to the bad language blacklist.

We I think did that in our servers and it has kept them at bay, because they get kicked and then banned if they come back again.
May need to add "w w w . l * s p r * . n e t" spaced link to the blacklist as well now

If they keep coming we'll get a permanent IP ban for those users if we can figure out how, unless someone else knows how to
