do you have any control devices connected ? specifically a Msoft FF wheel ?
its a known issue in the BETA with countless threads on the BETA forums
disconnect all controllers then try ...
also, what you call unplayable crap is actually a BETA that many have no problems running and enjoy
instead of moaning why not do what you agreed to do by signing up to the BETA, raise the problem and tell the dev's, there might be a fix .. duh!

I'm using a G25, I'm not going to even try and play a driving game with anything else.

For whatever reason, I can't get onto the beta forums.

I'll just get back to the ALPHA version of LFS.

Stick you rolleyes up the orifice of your choice.

I've got a DFP and works find on both LFS Alpha and TDU Beta. How odd that you are having this issue. What other hardware you got? Tried creating an offline account to rule out internet?

You'll find the password for the forums in the email they sent with your key.

is that with HDR on ?

No, haven't tried it with HDR on.

Open beta closes this Sunday by the way.

Engage!

nope

how is said warping done

I got a traffic ticket for $57k :eek:

There wasnt even a chase or a copcar just a fire truck sitting behind me. I was on a highway so is that why maybe. Along with failing a packet delivery mission far too much I wiped out the proceeds of a perfect car delivery mission and my traded chevy. Even when I got the parcel there in time, I didnt stop exactly in the spot so they failed me anyway :mad:

My present car:

Johnny|lucidcomposure · 1 Feb 2007 at 01:30

Driving exactly 25mph as you go over the icon.

Johnny|lucidcomposure · 1 Feb 2007 at 01:32

Just tried to run my game and a window popped up saying my licence will expire in 3days

you do realise you can restart/quit the mission with no penalty if you know you're not going to make it?

silversurfer · 1 Feb 2007 at 04:03

ERm no, I didnt know that! Im sure they dont intend that. It doesnt really surprise me though, end task or something does the job ?

I did it in the end anyway and made my money back and Ive got what looks to be the best property on the island too if location is everything. Panoramic views in every direction, above the crater at the top of the hilltop.

I built a mission to hillclimb it and someone halved my time! In a farboud gts

I know.

Every time I enter it I get an empty password box again...no error or anything.

@eekfek - Why the hell should I give someone else my key. Surely if they can't figure out how to get one themself they must be even more 'stupid' than me...

MoNkEyMiKeY · 1 Feb 2007 at 08:54

I think they've stopped giving them out now beano.

because there are plenty of others that would like the chance to test the game/BETA,
and well you were acting like a petulant child whose toy wasnt working ..
the whole idea of a BETA is to test it, therefore when its released people like you can actually play it with little or no hassle
im sure you see the logic in this ? yes
people are always ready to help here but first help yourself lose the attitude and be constructive

Well, I would have thought that the major issues would have been ironed out in alpha or closed beta stages. With the public beta being used to get the masses to find little niggly faults that a smaller number of testers might not come across.

3.5gb is a hell of a lot to d/l, we don't all have 8 meg connections you know. I'm probably being monitored for my usage by Poopex now because if it.

Hopefully a few people will see my post and be saved the hassle of getting it themselves.

Alex_6n2 · 1 Feb 2007 at 10:02

I get the same FPS lag you get Bean0, but I think it is due to my FFB Wheel, or so the forum suggests.

It happens more at higher speeds or when I come into contact with other players.

Hopefully it will be fixed for the full release

believe me there were soo many issues in the closed BETA that many simply couldnt play the game
luckily the major issues have been patched out but there are still sound issues and lag whilst online for some

p4 3.2 7900agp 2gig ram, i was initially getting 5fps with complete lockups when passing other cars, similar to your prob,
i passed all my info to the devs on the BETA forums and was promptly told to unplug the FF wheel, i did, and fps was steady at 25-30fps altho i had to use a joystick

if my antique hardware can run the game with ease then most new rigs will have no trouble, this open beta should fine tune the code
but that will only happen if 'we' do our job with the devs and not just **** the game due to a bad experience which needs investigating

You found the special spray shop then? I have no idea what happened when you were following me, i went to change car, teleported back to you and waited for 10 minutes and you didn't appear, even on my map.
