gamespeed prob

[neonaus]

Hey I am thinking about buying a s2 licence but.. ever since I started to play on my logitech usb wheel on LFS my game speed has increased it does in 18seconds (normal time) 30 odd seconds on the race clock + driving speed and all has increased so everything runs quicker then what its supposed to. It isnt my FPS because ive lowerd it and still seems to do it.
+ when i play on multiplayer server it goes normal speed but every 5 seconds freezes for 2 odd secs asif it wants to go faster but server speed doesnt allow it.

ideas/suggestions? thankyou much appriciated.

Hi,

It seems to be that this is a RAM problem, you don't have enough of it, so the game has to cache into the HDD, thus giving you those stutters.

Try the following:

1)Shutdown all unneeded applications. This includes antivirus software,firewalls, messengers and all the rest.

2)If you're techy, hit ctrl+alt+delete and start shutting down services that you don't need. Particularly, kill explorer.exe and launch LFS manually :)

nah dude it shutters like that because it wants to speed the game up and the server isnt allowing it.

I have 1gb of dual Corsair xtreme ram and a 7800GTX i dont think my game should shutter no matter how many programs i'd have running :p

-trust its not the ram. - this problem only occured after i install my wheel.
thanks anyway

GRRR... after changing random options and mucking around I found out that if "force feedback" is turned on, then the game speed, speeds up so you can drive twice as quick as normal. but i turned it off and problem solved whew.... thanks for ya help anyway .

Driving without force feedback sucks, though :/

Try to tweak up a MINIMUM SLEEP option in Misc. Default setting is 1ms. Also you may want to upgrade your wheel driver. Also try to SEARCH for this problem - it was discussed here many times ago...
