I've installed libtxc_dxtn.i686 package from rpmfusion-free repository and all of a sudden Weshill started to work. That's why it didn't work on a fresh installed Fedora 24. How and why I have installed it before I have no idea, all I know that is present on one system that loads Westhill fine. This package is not in Fedora as it probably have some licensing issues. Now that I think about I might have installed it because some other game required it.

Came across it accidentally when trying to eliminate what mesa version might have broke it. It complained about missing library libtxc_dxtn at some point when I broke mesa with a mix of old and new version of packages, I googled it and what do you know, it's a library for managing textures!

I was preparing to bisect mesa which does not sound like fun thing to do, I am relieved that I had not to Big grin

Thanks for the tips MadCatX about managing memory, good to know.

It also seems that key VideoMemorySize does not have an effect on LFS, on working configuration I can go as low as 2MB and still maintain the game in working condition.

Allocating 1GB to GPU in UEFI firmware didn't help, still the same crash. Providing that it did allocate in OS correctly. As shown by 'free -m' it did since I have 8GB of RAM:

$ free -m
total used free shared buff/cache available
Mem: 6928 1362 3395 435 2170 4994
Swap: 0 0 0

lspci is showing 256MB prefetchable no matter what the setting in UEFI is and it seems not to be the valid check.

Another interesting output seems to indicate that VMEM is allocatable up to 2GB.

$ dmesg | grep drm | grep Memory
[ 1.476500] [drm] Memory usable by graphics device = 2048M

EDIT: Another interesting line from dmesg to whom can translate this to MB:
[ 0.000000] Reserving Intel graphics stolen memory at 0x9fa00000-0xc19fffff

It's a Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-2100 sharing memory with system. This would indicate that is currently at 256MB. As I said already I tried setting VideoMemorySize with winetricks and then even manually to 256MB using regedit as winetricks supports only few values, but that didn't help a bit.

Disk does not matter it happens slowly on both SSD as well with HDD. But I don't mind the slowness if it loads eventually. I noted it only because it's probably a clue for debugging purposes.

Tried different wine versions 1.9.4, 1.9.5, 1.9.6. It is crashing on one of my computer and not the other (same linux distribution). Is crashing on the one that is working on with new distro version. I am currently using Fedora 23, but is not working on Fedora 24 anymore on the computer that was working on resulting with the same crash.

Thanks for interest

EDIT: Looking at history tried also downgrading wine to 1.7.52.

LFS crash loading Weshill track under wine

LFS is crashing while "Rebuilding" Westhill track, also "Loading textures" takes unusually slow. Increasing wine's VideoMemorySize with winetricks did not make any difference. Any idea?

I have the exact same symptoms as MorfeasFX, but... if I limit my fps bellow 60 (optimal for my hardware 50 or 30) changing gears with mouse wheel becomes unusable.

EDIT: Actually fiddled with 'Gearshift debounce' setting and raising it seems fixed it.

Work fine under wine. Mono is needed only for some server plugins.

Buying A Licence

Hi,

I'm using this one and only sim, LFS in demo version quite a long time, now I'm considering actual buying a licence to support this great developers and to unlock the game. Then I come to this:

Quote :3.3 We recognise that people may buy a new computer or reinstall their operating system from time to time. For this reason, we will automatically give you an extra spare unlock once a week (every friday morning), up to a maximum of having 2 spare unlocks available. The number of unlocks you have left can be found on your status page.

Maybe I'm missing something, is this mean that after fourth windows reintalation I have to buy another licence

What is this *?

I mean common, you know Windows, they could be damaged in such a simple way, and make reinstallation happen often as 3 times a year :jawdrop:
