if it doesn't change the physics, sure

Also designed to work with the new graphics, would take lots of work to make it work properly on the old graphics system

Quote from Scawen :

What happened then? Well instead of 500 sales it was more like 20. Then a few more each week until it fizzled out almost completely.

The way a popular youtuber DankPods does his own merchandise drops is by making the merch item a preorder. There is a period of preorders, after the period is over, the merchandise gets made and shipped to the people who ordered it. But if merch was brought back now, I'm not sure how the system would work at lower scales

12 seconds should be enough, checking some replays, it has been spectating people after about 3-4s of being stationary after the race has been finished, For me it takes about 6 seconds to get back to driving after flipping

Quote from Scawen :

I've pointed out that the ability to freely donate money between players enables a real world trade in your currency. In turn that enables ringmasters to rent LFS licenses in contravention to our license agreement, in order to gain TC credits which they sell for real world money

TC could be a part of the issue, but the other part of the issue is that LFS doesn't have any preventions against sharing accounts, so there is nothing preventing them from sharing the accounts

Quote from yschoi93 :

In order to restrict rental accounts, you must be able to designate PCs that can access the master server.
(e.g. PC unique numbers such as Mac address)
This is the second-factor authentication method for genuine software these days.

Mac addresses are very easy to change in software, unsure how it is in windows, but on Linux it's just a single file you change and you get a different mac address

Quote from hsvdin0 :

It has nothing to do with rented accounts - in fact, if accounts are rented and people earn TC Cash and sell it to other users to earn real money they can eventually buy their own, NEW LFS license (stonks for our bike-boy and Victor vV).

Im not 100% sure on this, but id imagine the person renting out the accounts would keep the profit for themselves instead of buying an LFS account for the renter. Makes more sense for the person renting out the accs to keep profiting from the renters indefinitely

Would be nice if the patch threads were pinned so they are easier to find

imo the caster is a bit low, so the feedback on wheel isnt that good

Try setting the settings like in the screenshot below. Also go to Misc, set maximum buffered frames to 2. Another thing to try would be lowering the resolution to 1280x720

Bump, please fix, very annoying and it ****ed up more races

Quote from Eclipsed :

This actually helped - by setting latvian language there I got another keyboard layout in taskbar (LAV - Latvian Standard) and when I select it,then LFS automatically sets to Baltic code page. The keyboard layout seems to be identical with other option with a minor difference - the symbol ' seems to be the soft key to get special accents allthough I'm used to Right Alt for that. Anyway,thanks - case closed.

I am on the latvian qwerty layout and it does show baltic in lfs, i guess you can try this layout too as it uses right alt

Edit: nvm just read first post, odd that it shows baltic for me, i do have both keyboards added, maybe that has something to do with it?

Quote from Scawen :

I don't think it's fair for BeNoM to accuse me of "taking it down" when all I did is release a patch for LFS.

the "taking it down" was taking down the cracked lfslazy when it was uploaded to the forum, which is understandable. but the one which was uploaded and taken down on forum was for a patch I think, wouldn't even work on the current version, so I even more don't understand him

Quote from Scawen :

What does that mean?

What have I taken down? Please explain.

It's an honest question, I have no idea what you are talking about. But I don't like the apparent insinuation that I am trying to spoil your fun, when actually I spend many hours every day trying to make this game better, more flexible and so on.

I think hes talking about the cracked/reverse engineered LFSLazy, iirc the cracked version is floating around somewhere outside of the forum

Pls fix the caster, the caster should be about 6°, with it at 0, the car is undrivable on wheel

I personally do not like the new gear whine and intake sound, the intake sound is better for me at 1.0 volume, but the gear whine just sounds like something is rubbing, very odd

Is there any update on this, it has screwed up another race for me so it reminded me of this thread

Quote from Victor :

Sorry, I missed this one. Looking at the indexing process and testing it though, it seems to work now. I've been changing a lot of internal things lately - maybe you tried when I was working on the search function.

That is possible, I'll just mark it as solved.

Decided to search if scawen has posted something new, it shows that the newest thing is from yesterday, but in reality scawen has posted only a couple hours ago

I've found an edge case where the warning that unsaved changes will be lost doesn't appear - when loading a vehicle in the editor after making changes. Found that out by accidentally pressing load instead of save

At least only like a minute of progress was lost

Turn it off in https://www.lfs.net/hosting/admin

Edit if it shows up there

A very small bug, but still a bug

Quote from Scawen :

Which patch are you using?

The version is visible in the last screenshot - It is 0.7D40

Hopefully, when the incompatible update is released, everyone will be on the new version and this shouldn't happen

It has been reported on the TC one server, that it crashes upon joining, I've narrowed it down to the version being used, 0.7D crashes, newer patches like 0.7D33 don't. I'd check more patches, but many have online broken with wrong version being displayed, here is the crash info (sadly in Latvian):

Interested in what could be causing it to crash

(I also posted this in a different post, because I forgot that this thread exists )

Edit:
Video of it:


EDIT 2: Seems like deleting the mod folder fixes the issue, but putting the newly downloaded mods in the old folder doesn't, weird, must be an older version of a mod screwing smth up?
EDIT again, seems like what i just said isnt true, crashes anyways
