Quote from Scawen :

As the Fanatec is direct drive, have you tried the new settings in the test patch?

For OSW wheels the recommended settings are:

FF Steps -> 10000 for max resolution allowed by DirectInput
FF Rate -> 100 Hz allows FF updates to match LFS physics rate

No but I will sure test later today !

Thx for the tip Scawen

Sry to take so long to post this (I'm on my vacation) but I don't have any problems at all after I installed my windows again.

Just got my Fanatec DD1 after SC1 and I love this game again

Quote from Scawen :

What is the problem you are having, can you describe what you are seeing, compared with what you should be seeing?.

Hi Scawen, with user kagurazakayukari instructions I did solve my problem but I think the fov have a little "fisheye" effect from the edges but when you're driving, you can't notice that any more.

I will take screenshots later before I made changes and what I have to do to get picture right so you understand better, it could help other users with 32/9 screens.

Quote from Dygear :

What's really insane about the VR code is that Scawen did it without ever having a headset himself.

Yeah, that's so true, I had forgot that, amazing !

Quote from kagurazakayukari :

Use 3 monitor option and set width to 1024:2048:1024

So there will be a fake "8:9 + 16:9 + 8:9" monitor. Worked on my CHG90, maybe our racers on forum have some better setups

Thx m8, I will try this later today !

I'm suprised that there is no native support for 32/9 because LFS has been pioneer several times in technology like in VR,
I played LFS with my DK2 long time ago before other games supported vr.

Hi,
I usually drive with VR-set up but right now I don't have any.

I remember 18 months ago when I purchase my Samsung CHG90 49" Curved 32/9 Ultra Wide Monitor (3840 x 1080) that I never succeed to setup LFS correctly, today I tried again, no success, what ever I do or try.

I don't have any problems with other driving games, example with iRacing I can use 1 or 3 monitor setup or Dirt Rally with one monitor.

Can anyone help me with this ?

Br,
Vision

Sry about starting this topic to the wrong place but in Technical Assistance there is less viewers vs General LFS Discussion.

I have played this game on/off since 2003 and my overall costs are:

36£ or 49.3€ or 53.5$

Normally pc-games cost 30-50€ so MY OPINION this is far, far away expensive game to us.

Have you notice example how much playing iRacing costs ?

I do, I have spent 15-20x more than LFS.

Every track, car cost, even monthly membership and private hosts costs !

Happily paied ! You guys have always my support

I have played LFS from 2003 and Scawen's vr support for rift is the reason what bringed me back to game. I sold my DK2 one month ago and now I wait and see which would be best solution for sim games, Vive or Rift. Thank you Scawen for supporting vr !

I got it work with XP, it doesn't work with Vista.

I've tried that but it didn't work.

I downloaded LFS_S1A version, patched with patch S1A to H, copied LFS 0.3H - Patched.exe to install directory.

When unlocking with right game password it says "Unlock error".

When unlocking with wrong game password it says "GAME password don't match".

I changed my game password but it didn't work either.

I asked help from LFS Tech but unfortunately they didn't have any ideas.

Any ideas?

I wan't to make videos from our S1 multiplayer lan sessions (mpr replays).

With S2 0.5W unlocked version it can't replay S1 mpr's, it says "obsolete replay"

Really professional work m8's!!

I'm very very satisfied but I have to ask,
are there going to be hires update in future for South City Classic too?

NP if not.

/Vision

THX for your replies.

I have latest bios for mb, I have tried few earlier versions, no affect.

Today I installed latest nvdia display drivers (81.94), no affect with LFS.

I don't have my old cpu anymore, I have sold that.

huxorator, I have to check that "Standard Computer" and tried that later.

I'm going to dl HL2 demo too

/Vision

jmkz, I forgot to mentioned that I'm also broke

Your rig isn't bad either

I have read from Asus, AMD etc. forums that there a lot's of people having these problems like me but there are some happy folks too.

I have mailed to store where I have bought my latest components.

In their words, Asus said that cpu is faulty, store has contacted also to AMD support so I have to wait some time.

I don't have HL2 but Quake4, Fear, COD2 & Far Cry works.

Off course those aren't builded with HL2 engine.

/Vision

More testing with S1H and S2 Alpha 05P8 + S2 Alpha clean install.

jmkz, your link was to ROPE, I have tried that earlier, no affect

MadCatX, disable Simple Track, no affect

With default settings my fps in Blackwood (S2) with 12 drivers are 30-60 fps.

With default settings my fps in South City Classic (S2) with 12 drivers are 25-50 fps.

Old S1 benchmark didn't work on S2, it says "obsolete video", so I tried with S1H.

THX MadCatX, I will try both later tonight.

I notised that my old bench still found on http://lfsbench.iron.eu.org/?c=yoursystems with S1A

/Vision

THX Shotglass,
I have tried that patch several times with different results.

XP install what I use now, after patch installing, I'll get bluescreen every time after boot (Cool'nQuiet enabled and installed).

XP clean install, no bluescreen but only positive effect was NHL2006 working 100%, no need to use WinLauncherXP.

LFS fps still sucks.

1.) Install XP Professional from CD - Clean Install
2.) Install latest XP service pack 2
3.) Install nVidia Chipset Driver 6.70
4.) Install AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor Driver for Windows XP
5.) Install/Configure Windows XP SP2 Dual Core Performance Fix
6.) Modify Registry Settings
7.) Install nVidia ForceWare driver 81.85
8.) Install drivers for Sound Card
9.) Install directX9.0c

/Vision

THX jmkz, I'm going to try that later tonight.

I hope 3rd time will be success, I have tried LFS with ROPE & WinLauncherXP .

/Vision

Thx biggles but I have tried earlier with 81.87 drivers and V-sync on/off.

AndroidXP, yes HVS is enabled.

I did my pc upgrade because me friend paid very good from my "old" pc

Cool 'n Quiet is disabled now because my testings isn't finished yet.

When I wrote this, cpu are 36 C / 96 F & motherboard 29 C / 94 F, when playing its a little over 40 c.

PROBLEM
Fps is very low/strutters with LFS S2 and few other games too.

I'm getting only 20-40 fps in Blackwood/South City Classic in single game with all cpu drivers, 1280x1024, 32bit, AA/AF off etc.

I'm pretty sure that this problem is because dual core processor, never had these problems with A64 4000+. (1600x1200, AAx4 & AFx8, V-Sync on) It rolled like a dream

Off course I have tried several driver settings with or without AF/AA, Fast Write etc. but problem still exist.

I have tested LFS S2 with several display settings too, lowest to highest details, reset settings etc.

Tested with ROPE & WinLauncherXP too, disabling second cpu core.

Never before had problems with Live For Speed S1/S2, this is my 4-5 pc with LFS.

When not playing, PC works just great, never failed.

I have read from several forums that this problem aren't unique with X2 cpu series.

If you could you give any help, any solution for this problem, I will be very gratefull!!

I have re-installed XP three times now with testing purpose, 2 times with SATA HD and latest install was yesterday to one of my spare IDE ATA harddisk with these instructions below.

1.) Install XP Professional from CD - Clean Install
2.) Install latest XP service pack 2
3.) Install nVidia Chipset Driver 6.70
4.) Install AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor Driver for Windows XP
5.) Install/Configure Windows XP SP2 Dual Core Performance Fix
6.) Modify Registry Settings
7.) Install nVidia ForceWare driver 81.85
8.) Install drivers for Sound Card
9.) Install directX9.0c

100% working games
rFactor
Quake 4
Flatout
PES5
Fear
NHL2006 with WinLauncherXP (using only one cpu core)
Far Cry
Richard Burns Rally
Call Of Duty 2

Games with problems too
- The Chronicles Of Riddick, starting problems
- GTR, fps very low
- FIFA2006, starting problems

if I disable one cpu core with these games, problem still exist.

If you wan't more details, I have made topic earlier to AMD site, : http://forums.amd.com/index.php?showtopic=60146
