id place my money there then! :-)

oops just read your edit, coulda said it was overclocked to begin with lol,or isnt it?and your just turning it down?

it waznt overclocked, gpu core is now at 200mhz (default 250mhz)

Quote from JazzOn :

check programs in your taskmanager. LFS is mainly CPU using and something is disturbing LFS. maybe another program that just execute something regulary or you got malware, Virus or other faulty software.

well first commit charge was 720mb (i only got 512mb ram), but then i closed most of the programs and got it down to 400mb with lfs but.. i tried to play but nothing changed... before closing lfs it was up to 500mb already

it can't be malware because i just installed windows xp yesterday


// i lost the freeze with gpu downclock (and lost about 20-30fps @min gfx) but still doesn't explain why there ain't no problems at other games

Quote from bully2100 :

i dont think its driver related, possibly a faulty GPU,looks as though the screen is tearing! have you another GPU to try, the fx5200 is quite old now, possibly its overheating, the thermal compound could do with replacing, does the card have a fan or is it a heatsink? check the fan is spinning.

how does the computer behave in other games?

well i can play most wanted for hours and not a single freeze, just had problem with 2 games.. fx5200 does have a fan, i can't see it moving(since card is upside down) but i can feel the air moving , and the annoying part is that lfs keeps on freezing even at 640x480 16bit resolution with most of the effects off.. i think it started with previous patch.. i'm gonna download older version and see if it's still freezing... and if that dosen't work i think ill need to start downclocking again

tried patch v, still freezing... cpu usage goes to 100% and whole pc freezes with the game.. mby memory leak or something?

I want to be able to race with my wheel and do the burnout without quitting at setting to Mouse/Keyboard Input.

I also tried to make a button on my wheel the brake as well, but that didnt work.

well, my cheap logitech wheel allows to change axis to be combined or not

from control panel game controls

My LFS seems to be freezing for 10-15 seconds.. it happens randomly.. sometimes i can ride clear for 10 sec sometimes 2 min (current best)..
i had a similar problem with gta san andreas (had small freezing) but i managed to fix it with DOWNclocking my gpu core but no affect on lfs, tried minimum grafix but nothing.. my pc dosent have quadturbo processor or hd4870x2 gpu but... game shud still run smooth

i has a p4, fx5200gpu and 512mb ram.. and i have no problems on my laptop with like 64mb integrated video

oh and sometimes after the freezing car looks **** or sky looks red/black/green or http://img99.imageshack.us/img99/8462/lfs.png

Quote from Tweaker :

If you are using some Logitech or Microsoft wheel, you should be able to seperate the axis for each pedal.

Goto the Control Panel, and Game Controllers section. You should choose the properties of the controller in Windows and be able to find an option for Combined Pedals, you want to turn it OFF if it's on.

Then just make sure you have pedals set to seperate in LFS, and everything should work fine.

why din't i think of going to control panel before? anyways found the option and got it seperated thanks alot, problem solved

Quote from the_angry_angel :

On the Control's screen, you'll see "Throttle / brake axes", under "Force Strength". Select separate.

If that still doesnt work, then you need to turn split axis on in the windows drivers - this process depends on your wheel.

well i used seperate and then i cud only use 1 of the pedals but how i split axis.. i dont have any drivers or something.. just plug&play i did some split axis stuff whit the software i got whit the wheel but.. nothing changed in game

Quote from Jakg :

yes, but in true internet fashion i have nothing to say!

ok, not really true, but seeing as you say each pedal is its own axis, had a look at the pedal settings in LFS? there is a combined and separae option, separate is wht you want

i mean each pedal has its own axis.. in other games.. in lfs its just like http://img484.imageshack.us/img484/5481/pic8kg.png is there any way to split them?

Quote from Jakg :

braining? please say you arent serious..

bad typo.. did you even read the post?

well the thing is .. i can't make a burnout because the brake and acceleration are on the same axis in lfs(only in lfs) so when i hit brakes and gas at the same time nothing happens .. in other games and in "gaming software" program where i config my wheel n pedals.. the gas and brakes are on difrent axis.. oh btw.. i have a cheap logitech "formula vibration feedback wheel"

Quote from ORION :

Uh... can you play any games at all?

well i think if i wud install older windows.. then ill coud dl driver update(since there is no xp version) and have 3d suport thingy... but i can play old games atm like quake2
edit: oh well.. i mostly use my laptop to study anyways.. i can still play lfs on my pc :P

Quote from ORION :

Well, I expected some kind of Intel integrated stuff...
So (as I have never heard this name of GFX card), you should try the following to be really sure:

Go to start -> execute -> type dxdiag -> Enter -> you might have to wait a bit now...
Then click the tab "Display" click "test Direct3D"

You should see 3 tests now - the first tests DX7, then 8 and 9.

Now you can see which D3D version works.

ty... "direct3D functionality not available" cant even click the "test direct 3d"

Quote from ORION :

right-click on the desktop -> properties -> settings (last tab) -> advanced (bottom right)

one of the tabs should contain the name of the gfx card ("GeForce 6800GT" for me)

well.. i knew that.. but how can you tell does it suport dx8 or not.. if its not some geforce or some other known gfx card. (ps its adapter tab and.. u can see the gfx card name just by clicking settings tab.. it will be above the res. like... lg tft flatronic on geforce 440mx)
but there prolly wasent even dx when this pc was built
anyways "Silicon motion LynxEM"

Quote from ORION :

Are you really sure that a GFX card in a laptop with a P3 is DX8 compatible?
please post more details - without details we can't help you at all.

dunno where can i check that? but its realy old gfx card..

i tryed everything but still no progress cant get the game workin on my laptop (PIII) it fits min. req. I think the problem is whit video driver (the latest is from 2001 jan. )
