Hi there,
I have had LFS for about a year now. And am enjoying it fine. I have been using it over 3 different operating systems. Xp Pro 32, Vista Ultimate 64, and newest Windows 7 Ultimate 64.
All have played LFS fine with massive FPS while either starting with full grid or in middle of race or whatever. The other day I started up LFS and thought I would mess around on AS4 with the computer controlled A.I and 32 cars. I was in my Win7 boot while doing this. So I started at the back of the grid, waiting for the race to start. I was getting about 350 - 400 FPS. The race started then I noticed that the FPS would drop to 40 and then shoot back up to 350-400 again. The spike in the FPS would cause I slight pause while doing this and made driving impossible. So I installed another copy on another drive and it did the same. I even installed it on my htpc with win7 U 64 and it worked perfect (making me think it's not win7)! So I thought maybe something had happened and I would re-boot. Same thing happened again. I then booted into vista and ran it from the same directory it ran perfect. I then booted into xp and again perfect!
I have installed nothing new; I have also done no updates. So I'm kind of lost as to how this could just start doing this. Booting into xp to play the game doesn't bother me. But the fact that win7 was going fine and now started doing this is a pain in the backside!
Something is telling me that a driver has become corrupt and is causing this. When I get home tomorrow I will test some things to see what I could be. And will post back to let people know.
I'm not looking for answers, just to help other if they get the same thing happen to them.
Hope all is well
Steve
P.S Here is what I have tried so far.
While in my win7 boot, I have lowered all visual settings in LFS to minimum. Have turn on and turned off sli for my cards. Have turned V-sync off. Have installed new copy of LFS on another drive even installed it on server and ran it over network. Updated video card drivers. Sound card drivers. Checked that cpu isn't maxing while playing. None of them sorted it, infact the reducing of the visuals in LFS made it worse.
What I will do tomorrow is update the profiler for my race wheel. try without the wheel or any USB devices plugged in. check all temps while playing. check for viruses. Remove kasperski and test (encase there is conflicts). Not sure what else at the moment, but if it come to mind will write it down.
