I get this message "LFS could not detect any suitable screen modes"

[Andreusf]

Hello, when I try to start the game I get this message and I don't know what I have to do.

I don't know if it is usefull, but in the deb file says this:

LFS : 0.5P2
timer resolution 1 ms
read config
get command line
preinit d3d
number of adapters : 1
adapter 0 : no valid modes
LFS : Could not detect any suitable screen modes

What I have to do to have a properly adapter?

Thanks

in cfg.txt change "Start Windowed" to 1. then if it starts go into screen options

[Andreusf]

Thanks for the answer dUmAsS, but I have tried it and gets the same message. I have tried to with 2, but with the same result.

[dUmAsS]

i would assume it only accepts 0 and 1 (off and on respectivly)

Andreusf, Id attempt a reinstall of the graphics driver, monitor driver and perhaps also directx if I were you... I think this has helped a few others with the same problem.

I had that once ..

Try starting another 3d application (game) and then back to lfs.
it helped for me, believe it or not.

Thanks, this night i will try what you are saying. I hope it works and the next time see you on the road :thumb:

Try checking this:

Make sure hardware acceleration is set to 'full"
- go to your display properties
- click settings / advanced
- Select the troubleshooting tab.
- Set hardware acceleration fo 'full'.

If some or any of your card's features are disabled, the game no worky.
Depending on what card you have, maybe.

Thanks to your help I have solved the problem. The graphics card needed to be updated.

Thanks to all

sexgod try running dxdiag, that helped a friend of mine. http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=1628

[XCNuse]

what would running dxdiag do? its only a diagnostics tool to look at your settings?

unless there is something in the settings that is not letting him

(btw tristan, it seems odd that every so often the show signature box gets unchecked.. odd [cause i just checked mine])
