I am getting a "crash-to-desktop"



Explanation:
I have not followed the test patches really, but the 3 I have are U11, U17 and U20. All have this ctd. I am running Windows Media Center 2005 rollup 2 with all update and patches

The steps I take that produces this CTD are:
Load up LFS
Go to mutiplayer
Does not matter weather the windows option in the mutiplayer menu is yes or no
click display list of games
wait for the servers to finish loading or even stopping it still produces this
click back
and click back again
and bang I have a CTD, happens often but not all the time.

No my computer is not overclocked nor in a SLI format

Computer Specs:
Windows XP Home / Windows Media Center 05 / Windows Vista Beta 2 64-bit
AMD 64 4000+
Nvidia Geforce 7800GT
2GB Ram
ASUS SLI A8N DELUXE MOTHERBOARD
MAXTOR 200GB 7200RPM 8MB CACHE SERIAL ATA
Maxtor 300GB HD
HIPER TYPE-R 480WATTS BLACK TRUE POWER HPU-4K480
Asus TV card

If you need a video of it, I can supply one.

P.S, That image was taken before it some how sorted itself for a while. The address is the same as that but instead of 9d at the end of the address, its now 83.

Thanks for clearing up that misunderstanding

Jakg, at the top of your post your saying that you installed vista beta 2 to see what it was like then at the bottom your saying that your never going to put vista on your PC. contradiction or am I misunderstanding your post?

Back on topic: Was the reason for Direct X 8 in LFS was so that it reaches out to a large audience, and that if LFS were to be updated, It would lose quite a population of people that are running 'older' operating systems that only support DX8. Would I be right in saying that?

The above is a link to a fraps alternative, I have not used it but I heared it is quite good.
Weather that is true or not is another thing

The view of all this that I have is that this is ment to be a sim right? Well in Real Life you are ment to be prepaired for a car that is stopped on the grid and take avoiding action rather then plow into the back of it then go and say that you want some arcade feature to aid you because you are not skilled enough to take the nessasery action for a stopped car.

I for one would rather sit on the grid without touching the throttle so I can concentrate on what could happen, ie:

If the car in front does not move, where is the best place to go to avoid him/her. Or, where do I want the car to be at T1.

Like the saying goes, Fail to Prepair, Prepair to Fail.

2.3.0 patch for Street Legal that Gom Team made, improves the game 10 fold by adding features, improving features and just making look and run better.

@tristan: Sorry for questioning your post, ive just had a really bad day and your one of the popular forum'ers which made you a idel target, so im sorry

Back OT: Just out of curiosity, are people baseing your posts on todays round or BTCC in general?

F1 was rubbish compaired to todays BTCC. There was too much contact in this round but the 3rd race was really exciting to watch. First the red flag, then the weather, then the safty car, then the last corner incident. Quality

@ tristancliffe: If you don't like BTCC why make the effort to open up the thread? Then also make a post slagging off BTCC? If you dont like it, dont come into a thread that is something you hate and then stir trouble?

Just walk away.

Don't try that again, you'll hurt yourself with a mind blowing injury

Square in IE and a "ass" in Firefox.

Am I missing one of the devs posts here thats said something along the lines of:

"Congrats on finding the change, please post hear to say which version you prefer and we will put it in the next patch"

Just seems weired that people are actually voting for which system they like as if it is going to change in the next patch :S

I remember when I was at school, they got the whole school (~1000 people) to go outside and jump :S .

I might give this one a miss, I could be up a ladder tomorrow carrying a big bit of glass at that time, dont think it would look to good if I jumped, fell off the ladder and smashing some money's worth of glass

I live in the same region as Jakg

Am I the only one that thought that was a real picture, rather then a render?

Something i've found while playing:

When im in any gear, at the red line point you get the little red dot appear, but if you touch the clutch pedel, even slightly, the red dot goes out even though you are still jumping off the rev limiter.

My understanding is that the red dot should come on and stay on at the required shift point weather the clutch is engaged or not?

When the cars are un-encrypted by the devs, which, at a guess would be after S3.

Any clue when it will be a new version of Tweaker that will be not only demo?

Rough date coming up:

Some time after Live For Speed S3 is finished I guess illepall

I dont mean lag as in the other cars lagging, I mean Lag as in my game freezes for about 0.75 sec or so, enough to really put you off when your lining up a bend or side by side with someone.
