It seems to be working ok now. I have to rename the exe everytime I try to open it. Anyone know what I can do to fix this?

I also downloaded the latest driver for my card. Im not sure if that had anything to do with it working now.

Quote from AndroidXP :

It's directly located in the LFS directory. Like C:\Games\LFS\LFS.exe. Rename it to something like LFS_test.exe and see if it changes anything. In case you don't see the file extensions (if there is no .exe), then just rename it to LFS_test.

This worked! Thanks a lot!

EDIT: Well, it worked for a second. LFS will open now, but before I can join a server it crashes and it says that it has encountered a problem and needs to close. Grrr.


Here are the specs.

Quote from LFSn00b :

if you have any d3d8 or 9 files in the LFS folder, delete them.

I thank you for your help, but you are speaking french to me.

Oh well, it was great fun though, I think I won enough virtual money to buy Zeug for a few hours.

He is only available for rent and must be returned with the same amount of gas as he had when he was rented.

I download it from the same place each time. Only one place.

OK, I will try that when I get home as well. Thanks!

Quote from AndroidXP :

Have you also tried a fresh install (not only download, installed in a different directory), to see if any of the old settings causes that problem? Try renaming the LFS.exe to make sure no forced gfx settings mess with LFS.

I have tried installing it in several diffrent places, each one with the same result. I will try renamimg exe....but where do I find that?

Quote from Shadowww :

Start>Run>dxdiag>enter>Save All info and attach DxDiag.txt to ur post

Thanks. I will do that once I get home.

Every other game works fine.

I havent changed anything with the pc. It is the same as when dell shipped it to me. Im not real sure of the specs, as I said, Im an idiot with this stuff. Ill try to get them and post them asap.

I havent played this game in quite a while. A couple of weeks ago I tried to open LFS and it just wont open. It acts like it wants to open, the screen goes black like it usually does, and then it just crashes before it opens all the way. I have tried a fresh download (or 4), I have ran adware and virus scans that came back fine. I have tried everything I know to try, but Im sure there is something else I can try as Im an idiot with this kind of stuff.

The only thing diffrent with my PC now compared to the last time I was able to open LFS is I now split my connection between the PC and the PS3 using one of those splitter thingys (:shrug. I even tried disconnecting it (going back to the old way) and that didnt work either.

I have searched the forum for similar problems without any luck.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

EDIT: First thread ever!!

This is the first poll on this forum that I didnt even have to look at all of the options before I made my choice. (really, I didnt need to look at any other option at all).

This one is simple....Jimi Hendrix!!!

I always thought Slash (sp?) from GNR was/is pretty freakin good too.

Quote from thisnameistaken :

Microwaving bacon. Dude, you won't find any other country where people will contentedly microwave bacon like it's a perfectly normal thing to do! I suppose once you've microwaved a burrito, anything goes.

I dont know if it is a normal thing to do or not. It works for me. Yes, I have microwaved a Burrito. I dont think there are many things I havent microwaved. If you had a chick like mine, you would do a lot of nuking too.

OK, you've piqued my curiosity. How does it look when it comes out? I'm imagining it very dry, covered in dried salt, but still with white rubbery fat along the edge. I can't help thinking my pan-fried bacon looks (And smells! And tastes!) a good deal more appetising.

It looks no diffrent than fried bacon does. The key is to use a certain kind of plate that allows the grease to build up at the bottom. Its not much diffrent looking or tasting than if it was prepared any other way. It basically ends up frying in its own grease. It can be a bit dry, but only if over prepared. It also takes care of the fat on the sides as well. Give it a try some time, it can make a mess of the microwave, but its worth it! Im also very picky about the type of bacon I use. It has to be thick sliced bacon. Nuking thin sliced bacon will cause it to vanish!

/end microwave class

EDIT: I never said that it tastes or looks BETTER than pan-fried bacon. It is just easier for me. It makes a mess pan-frying bacon, and I would probably have to clean that shit up. When I do it in the microwave, all I have to do is close the door and BAM, its clean.

EDIT #2: This is probably my longest post ever on this forum, and it is about bacon! LOL, damn noob.

Ummm, actually Im always a yank, what are you trying to say?


BTW, I microwave (I almost said cook ) my bacon for no less than 5 minutes... and the smell still goes through the house like a bad fart.

Quote from DevilDare :

lol at this thread just love how sometimes they turn out

I didnt think it was odd at all, typical noob involved thread if you ask me.

Quote from nikka :

If you have to use heat (directly, or, yes, indirectly on the food) in some way to prepare a meal, you're cooking.

Who asked you anyway? Stay out of grown folks talk! Get back to coding..... or something. *cracks whip*

That is true, but only if you put some BBQ sauce on that calf muscle. Just a plain calf would only be considered grilling, not cooking!

Quote from franky500 :

if you microwave you did not cook that bacon.!

Ah HA!!! I win. Stick that up your noob holes!

I will ignore the first part of that post. I always use the microwave when preparing bacon. It is delicious!

But, if you just stick the stuff in the microwave you would have hands free preparation, without the need to turn.

Who has time to think about sumo, we have bacon on our minds!


Yes, Im sure it will make a comeback soon.

You turn your bacon during preparation? You sir, are a weirdo!

You really shouldnt talk so bad about donkeys, we used to have a jackass in our team. :P

Quote from Kalev EST :

cook
1.to prepare (food) by the use of heat, as by boiling, baking, or roasting.

Ah, thats horse shit! Dont believe everything you hear/read!


Im starting to feel as though Im being gang raped by a bunch of bacon cookers! There has to be someone around here that is as smart as I am.

LOL! Game, set and match!
