Shouldn't matter in most cases outside of a few random things like nVidia won't do GSync over HDMI (where AMD will do FreeSync over HDMI) even if the display is compatible with FreeSync. Might be able to do higher bit colours over DP at higher resolutions but that's not super relevant under 4k resolution
Watching some replays (and updating to the right version!) looks really really sweet. Some great driving at the front and the track doesn't really look out of place in LFS either which made it even more "immersive".
I love the little touches too like the animated hot air balloon too
Lighting would be a good potential example of an incompatibility. In our current version of LFS, tracks have a handful of prebaked lighting+skybox situations to choose from. If the new version has removed the way that works in favour of a dynamic solution for time then the old tracks straight up might not work or otherwise have massive issues until revised.
And no amount of "THIS IS NOT FINISHED" will silence people. Cyberpunk2077 had a ton of videos with "THIS IS PRE RELEASE FOOTAGE THINGS MAY CHANGE" and people still think that things like wall running was cut content/broken promises.
There's a lot of work that would need to go into managing how Steam and LFS accounts interact. The "simple" way would be for each "DLC" on Steam to just give a 12GBP voucher code and leave licensing entirely on the LFS side to unlock. But that can be clunky and still has a labour cost ensuring Steam has a suply of voucher codes. A "better" integration would be to have an LFS account be linked to Steam and then some mechanism of syncing DLCs to LFS.
IIRC there's also some incompatibilities to how LFS is structured as a business that Steam doesn't like. Not sure if that state has changed given the changes in tax codes over the years (as well as GB leaving the EU). If this was still the case, there'd be costs to restructure the business as well.
Being on Steam wouldn't magically make features unlocked either. Plenty of games on Steam offer subscriptions or DLCs. Assuming Scawen wanted LFS to go on Steam (he's indicated consistently against it) the exact same business model that LFS currently has could be implemented.
LFS could be a "free" game as the Demo with each S1/S2/S3 as their own DLCs to unlock each level. Added bonus is that each stage would need to cost mode to keep the existing margins.
Unless you somehow think that being on Steam would make it easier to steal which you'd also be wrong.
Basically anyone with a 900deg wheel should never have any issues. Set LFS and your wheel up at 900deg and never think about it again.
The one thing about Logitech wheels (outside of G Pro) is that the FFB is just not strong enough to really enforce a bump stop outside of the physical 900deg stops. It'll give persistent resistance once you're outside of it, but it doesn't take much to outmuscle.
Yeah I am seeding thousands of torrents these days.
Things have changed a bit because getting media legally is easier, but at the same time the rights for that media is more in flux than it ever has been so no longer is the "legal" option for many things the best path.
I tried ChatGPT out of curiousity and while it seems to have the right "logic" and even knows it should be 58^20... it calculates it as 8.97x10^34 which is... not right lmao
If I had to guess for Grok's answer, it's parsing the 1-10 and including 0 in the character set because AI is really stupid and doesn't actually think
