No experience with Ubuntu, but this looks like you don't have proper drivers with 3D support. What card do you have? Make sure to use the proprietary nvidia or catalyst drivers instead of the open nv/nouveau/radeon drivers (I think Ubuntu uses these by default)

9J87-PBPH-D99H-MF4U

it should be usable 5 times

I saw S2 guys with no avatars too.

*hides*

I just noticed that my shadows look awful now in Z13 compared to Z (didn't try the other test patches)

NOTE: I am running the game in Linux using Wine

Athlon X2 5000+, nvidia 7600GS
nvidia drivers 173.14.09
Wine updated from 1.1.17 to 1.1.21 - didn't help

athlon x2 5000+
nvidia 7600gs
drivers version 173.14.09 (debian lenny)
kernel 2.6.26-1-amd64 (32bit system though)

when does it crash for you, during game or it doesnt even start?

Quote from Shadowww :

Z13 crashes in both wine and cedega, haven't tried Crossover Games yet.

Z worked fine.

mine works fine, no crash so far
wine 1.1.17

Quote from Bawbag :

"I want to keep my pb's because I done all the possible combos". It's not a bad reason and if someone wants to keep this acheivement

Can't you can still see this in lapcount?

S3!

I'm not here long enough, so I don't know, but what happened to PBs from last incompatible patch? Or from S1?

Quote from Victor :

there was an idea opped by someone and that idea keeps sticking in my head. Ie. I like it.

Reset everyone's pb's, but don't delete them, just move them away and make them selectable for viewing on lfsworld as archived times.

That way noone will really lose anything (sorry to those who already cleared their own pb's ) while everyone's pb's are still reset.

I'm not doing anything just yet, but i'm seriously considering this option.

what's the point of that? Are you still checking your PBs from earlier versions? After a month or two, noone will really care about no longer valid times from outdated version of the game...

different cars, different tracks.....delete PBs

With all the tracks (Blackwood chicane for example) and cars (clutch, redlines, ...) changes, shouldn't be PBs deleted? I think hotlaps were, but what about PBs?

Every time I update to the new patch (X10->X30->X31->X32), the "Window while connecting" is reset to YES, even if I used NO before... Is that a bug or normal behavior?

And no, I don't use Vista, Linux and WINE here

Probably not a bug, but maybe a feature that needs improving - you can flat-shift in the FBM with using "manual ignition cut". I mean hold gear-change and then 2 times tap the ignition button. Result is much faster gear change than with normal throttle lift, at least for mouse driver with 2.5 button rate (of course if you miss the second tap you will loose some speed until you notice you have engine off:schwitz

Or can you do this with the real car?

This happened after track change. 3 of us started race and others managed to join before green lights. But notice where "Lynxy" spawned. By the moves and racer-list it appears he is normally racing, but I see him somewhere way off track...

I was getting the same error. Downloaded X30 patch, unlocked, went online, quit LFS, start again, try to go online and "GAME password does not match" error (it remained unlocked for offline play though).

I thought that maybe too long password is causing problems (it had 16 characters). I changed it to shorter one and it's OK now

Quote from SamH :

.. inspecting packets now.

oh, here's the lag problem, Sam was arresting our packets

I'm sure they are innocent, can you release them? at least on bail pls

on race2 down too

Quote from felplacerad :

The online translation viewer.

hmm, there are more interesting things

3a_rswtch_r 1 - watch replay
3a_rssave_r 2 - save replay
3h_showline 4 - show racing line

...so not just AI debug

down right now on race2

you don't get this message?

Warning, mid-race join detected
No points will be scored
Give full cooperation under blue flag

(not sure if the words are 100% correct)

I think I missed it (but there is still something playing?)
Will there be a downloadable record?

+1
I think it can be good to have late joiners (let's say after lap 2) in "offline" mode (totally invisible to others and others totally invisible to them)

It can be another button, so you can choose to spectate, join or "practice"

maybe you should watch the replay and see who was the "stupid children who ruined your race" in the second corner of first lap...
