Graphics Freeze After A Minute Or Two

Hello all,

OG LFSer who has not fired up this game in years. I finally got a new PC and fired up LFS to see what's what. It is great to see that this game is still around and still has a few guys online regularly still!

However, I am having technical issues with the software. Once I fire up the game and get on track, the video stops altogether after 1-2 minutes. The audio stays, and the game is still "running", but the video stops updating. The key commands still work, so at least I can shift+S off the track and not crash into anyone. But the only way out is to ALT+TAB out of the game and force close sit.

I've tried updating Nvidia graphics drivers to the latest version, but no luck. As far as I can tell I have things setup correctly in the game settings. I'm not sure what could be causing this issue.

Other games run great - no issues in any other software. My temps are fine, I monitor them with Corsair Link, CPU-Z and MSI Afterburner. I've made sure Windows is updated.

It was suggested that I turn down my refresh rate from 2560x1440@144Hz to 100Hz. I tried that, but no change.

If anyone has any suggestions, that would be greatly appreciated. Here are my system specs:

* Asus ROG Strix Z370-G Motherboard
* Intel i5-8600K CPU
* Corsair H80i v2 AIO
* 2x8GB Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4-3000MHz RAM
* Asus GeForce GTX 1060-O6G 6GB GPU
* Western Digital Blue SSD WDS500G2B0B 500GB M.2 2280
* Seagate Barracuda HDD ST4000DM004 4TB 256MB Cache SATA 3.5"
* Corsair Rm750x 750W PSU 80+ Gold Modular
* Acer XF270HU 27" 1440p 144Hz IPS
* Windows 10 Home

Having trouble finding good uploads of F1 sessions. Used to use R-U but just found racingfor.me today. Anyone by chance have an invite for it or another site? Have demonoid invite to trade if need be.

I'll try to make it if I can.

I'd try hard to make it if my schedule allows.

I could probably bring several DSR members with me too, if you want.

Go to www.broadbandreports.com and run a speed test and a line quality test. Speed isn't as important as the quality of the signal. You could have massive throughput but still have less-than-smooth gameplay if you're dropping packets.

I'm in the US and drive on European servers regularly and I do not have lag issues.

This may be coming in a future patch when an option for limited setups is implemented.

I'm having the exact same issue, also after installing AVG 9.0.

Good to hear others are experiencing it as well.

Hopefully it will be addressed soon.

Quote from dungbeetle :Which leaves Kimi out in the cold next season

Kimi should go to Mercedes.

I don't think he will.

TORRO should supply F1. TORRO tires in LFS give drivers a second a lap because they are made of pure win.

Quote from MadCatX :Worn out tire is nowhere near to be a slick. Particularly high performance soft tyres used in F1 and such series get "grainy" and the tread falls apart. (heat and extreme forces are responsible, take a look).

That picture is not of a grained tire. That picture is of the cars parked up in parc fermé after the race; it has lots of bits of rubber stuck to it because the drivers drive offline on the slowing-down lap in order to gain a bit of weight for post-race scrutineering.

Not that this has anything to do with the discussion at hand.

The injunction has already been overturned.

Spa is not going to be closed because of noise complaints; this is just local politics playing itself out.

The front page is driving away potential new customers. Someone who is considering buying an S2 license could easily be put off by a main page which is eight months out of date.

Oh OK. I was in the grandstand at the chicane just before the hairpin.

If the race returns, I'll try to save up money for a ticket for the outside T2 grandstand, looking up the main straight and the pitlane.

Don't **** with your wheel. Have with it how it is; save your money to buy a G25.

I went in 2008.

It was fantastic.

If the Canadian Grand Prix returns to Montreal in 2010, I will probably go.

Quote from speed1 :Just face it, the Scirocco will never come

Your speculation is baseless and without merit.

Go sit in the corner with your dunce hat on.

Sorry if this is obvious, but are you trying this while the car is moving? I only have a Momo black but I notice that the wheel behavior is correct when the car is rolling, but when it's parked it behaves strangely.

Quote from twizzyjay :LFS is one of my favorite racing games ever. better then forza 2 or GT by far.

In other news, foie gras and caviar is better than a lump of fried dog poop.

Quote from amp88 :I see what you're saying, but it's clearly written in most (if not all) contracts with ISPs that transferring copyrighted material is illegal. ISPs are often contacted by anti-piracy organisations and asked to identify which user was using a particular IP at a particular time (effectively saying who was pirating this file) and they generally co-operate. ISPs also provide a lot of services to people (not just allowing them to transfer pirated materials). What services did TPB offer? To allow users to transfer pirated materials and discuss those transfers.

So essentially what you're saying is that ISPs get a free pass from breaking the law (facilitating illegal file transfer) because:

1) they cooperate with investigators

2) they also provide non-illegal services

Do I understand you correctly?

Quote from amp88 :they are accessories to the transfer of copyrighted material.

So is every ISP on Earth. Better shut them all down, fine them and put them in prison.

We're here because of you...

We're here because you were there.

We've arrived from every corner of the planet to this nation
to seek the fulfillment of the promise of America
we were promised a better life than our home countries
where we were told that privatising water and electricity would make things run more efficiently
instead, the quality remained almost the same and the price was increased until it became an unaffordable luxury
some corporations are more efficient than government
but their motivation is not the health and well-being of the people
it's only about profit
everything else
their image
their human resources
their public relations
only exist to protect the reality behind it
once upon a time we were told that nationalisation would prevent growth by limiting competition
that our countries were nothing without the companies that invested in us
and so they privatised everything
everything in our country was owned by people that had no connection to our culture
by those who never had our interests at heart
they didn't care about our survival or our well-being
they just wanted to turn a profit by raping the land
by exploiting our people our industry and our resources
they took everything we built and made it theirs
first by creating racism to justify slavery
building the capital for capitalism
and then when they gave us what they called liberty
everything we had was still owned by them
our governments told us that socialism was the real enemy
and that we would have freedom
but the foreign powers and corporations were the ones with the real freedom
the freedom to take all the wealth generated by our work and our land
and give us only a small percentage of the scraps from the table
their lust for power and their greed drove them to betray not only us, but themselves and their the word of their own god
and while some used missionaries and donations to offset this abuse
of countries and companies who were blatant with their crimes
using war, disease, and sanctions that killed millions
they supported corrupt governments that were almost like the old slave masters in their repression of the people
because their loyalty was to those who enabled them, installed them, and kept them in power
they became the bastard children of American industry
kleptocracy
governments of thievery
they protected the corporations and went to war against their own people to preserve those profits
the puppet rulers were given billions of US tax dollars to fund civil wars
right wing death squads
execute political dissidents
sympathetic clergy
and even overthrow democratically elected governments
and so the age of revolution began again
they painted it as godless terrorists versus the free world and the free market
but the free market has never been free
because the market does not regulate itself
it is manipulated like a puppet
and it survives because of its image
destroy the image and the enemy will die
such is the same in the rap industry
for the major label superpowers treat the underground like the third world
when they need new assets
new artists to prostitute or sign and put on the shelf
to use their songs
when they need a new concept,
music and publishing, to steal from producers
they came to the underground
to the third world
they took our culture
our property
and our industry
and our resources
even using our own people to help them exploit us
but behind the mask of efficiency they claim that we need to succeed
they're no better than us
their economic advertisement was always a lie
a few got rich but most were given an illusion of wealth
almost as if it were designed for failure
opportunity comes at the price of the soul and the music
so remember what they are underneath the fancy architecture
glittering rented jewelry
the cars, the IMF loans, the seeds with suicide genes
20-year contracts and oil blood money
build your defense as my independent brothers and sisters
they'll stop at nothing to get what they want
they picked the third world underground as savage and backward
but the superpowers are no less corrupt
they've just learned to disguise it better
because they fix elections too
they imbezzle tax money
they go to war for resources
they fund terrorism for their own benefit
and when there's enough at stake, history's taught us that they'll even assassinate their own presidents...

Quote from S14 DRIFT :I thought he said that there were no new updates available.

Sounds like he was trying "let Windows look for an updated driver" which is a useless feature if he doesn't download one first.

Quote from S14 DRIFT :Try a re installation of LFS to start of with.

Don't do this.

Windows didn't find a driver because you have to go download one first. Go to Intel's website and download the latest driver for your chipset. Install it, reboot, then see what happens.

Quote from BenjiMC :lol, ye i saw it the other night, lameness. i preffered the short video they had going.

Is it on youtube?

Also the BBC recently aired their 2009 season preview, although I found it on RU so I can't share it with everyone here. It's downloading now so I'll watch it tomorrow. Just building the season up further, I can't wait.
