Hiya, fresh install complete and no issues were encountered, played fine last night. That was until now, and the exact same issue has happened again.
Really not sure what on earth to do at this point.

F12:

Improved support for the new "unlock code" (replacement for old GAME password)
- Correctly named field (for unlock code) in unlock screen
- EYE button beside the unlock code (see what you have entered)
- Informative message if your unlock code is not 20 characters
- Automatic exit from unlock screen after successful unlock message

F13:

Improved support for the new "unlock code" (replacement for old GAME password)
- removed the EYE button - the unlock code is visible when you enter a new code
- error messages if there is any problem getting text from the clipboard
- 11 translations updated - thank you translators!

How to be a translator i would like to be one

edit the language txt file and send it to lfs

No, please do not do that. We do not accept translation text files sent to technical support and that would be a waste of your time. We have a special online translation editor and assigned users.

Thanks but we have active French translators, so we don't need additional help with the French translation at this time.

Funny how a guy who today in discord was asking the meaning of word "niche" (which actually origins from his language) wants to be a translator.
Sorry,could not avoid to point this out...

More informative if unlock code needs to be set or is wrong
Also more helpful if license has been upgraded since the last unlock
- Info about license level and unlock code detected on entry screen
- Flashes the "Unlock" or "Licensed" button if attention is required
- An appropriate message and link is displayed on the unlock screen
- For license upgrade (when code is correct) the unlock button flashes
17 translations are now updated - thanks to all the translators

Minor detail:

The title in the Unlock screen says: User Name and Password
Shouldnt this be User Name and Unlockcode?

Ugh, thanks.

I don't know how I've missed that up to this point.

EDIT: Maybe, instead of doing another translation update, I could simply change the title of that page to an existing translation line:

Unlock Live for Speed

EDIT2: OK, done that (attached). It does say that at first anyway, before you ever unlocked, so now it just stays the same.

Today I installed F13 and unlocked... But got locked again when F14 appeared. So I installed F14 and unlocked again. Oddly I received two emails. A minimum time between email should be better.
Other than that no problem.

Edit: I received 4 unlock code in 2 requests

I tested, everything is ok, the changes are good and behave normally, I'm glad it works great.
Thank you, greetings.

I don't know why you got locked again when F14 was installed - the unlock should be preserved.

Also don't know how you got two emails.

Anyway I've added some protection that should make that impossible or very unlikely.

Quote from Scawen :

I got the same, because I left the lfs.net/unlockcode (idk if its this address but its similar) tab open, and then when I accidentally re-opened it (probably it refreshed) I received another code.

Quote from cuni :

I have a proven tendency to let tab opens...
It would also match the weird received hours 13:27, 19:18 (I guess when started up the pc again), 21:55 (voluntary when I was rushing before my race) and 21:55 (maybe I double clicked du to pressure or whatever).
Anyway no big deal.

I think that once the e-mail is sent, the user should be redirected to a different "success" page which should do nothing when being refreshed.

Thanks for the info. The new protection is more about accidental double clicking, it doesn't prevent against later page refreshes. I could improve it in future, for example maybe there should be an intermediate page with a little info and there you would click a confirm button. It's not an immediate priority but probably should be done at some point.

EDIT: Or what Flame suggested above while I was typing.

F15

My family members insisted that what looked like a link, in the unlock error dialogs from the master server, should actually be clickable. So now they are, and they take you to details page (or login page if you are not logged in) and when taking you to your details page they may highlight the unlock code with red, if the original message was about the unlock code.

Also more translations have been updated!

It's on the auto update system.

I did test that: when I was already logged in this site, it works fine; it seems that whenever the issue is about unlock code, the URL does have that "?uc=x" (x being number) part at the end of it.

But, when I tried to do click that link in-game when not already logged in to the site, that page URL did have that "?uc=x" at the end of it as intended. But when I then logged in from that page, both that red text as well as that "?uc=x" from the URL disappeared. Instead, it just displays the normal "Personal details" page.

So, it works as intended if you are already logged in, but it doesn't seem to work correctly when you're not already logged in.

is this mandatory?

I'd say it's recommended now but you can still opt out. However, it's going to be released as an official patch soon for everyone anyway.

Is there an issue that you have with the patch?

You can still use 0.7F without this test patch but you won't get the support for the recent security update and other updates listed in the release notes in the first post.

Thanks for all the updates – the link to the details and subsequent login work perfectly for me.

There is still a translation error (for the German translators). The activation message says "Benutzername und Passwort bestätigt.". "Passwort" should be "Freischaltcode".

Good point, I didn't change that message "User name and pass confirmed" but I won't worry about that now.

After the 'unlock code' feature was introduced, the textcolor of these menu buttons were greyed out (see attachment). Making them slightly harder to read. I don't know of this was intentional.

This was not on a test-patch. I installed F15 to make sure, but the issue is persistant. I looked around the forum to see if i could find older screenshots about the menu, but was not able to. I'm pretty sure this is a new bug, and not me being paranoid

You are right, I spotted that this morning and fixed in my version.

If interested, it's because I changed the way those buttons work, to allow the flashing state when an issue with your unlock code is detected. I forgot that the multiplayer screen also used that style of button.
