I had a voucher in my hd5850 box, i could log on steam and direct putted the code in. It appeared on my list and since yesterday i could download the almost 11GB game.

 

[Trebor901]

it only took me 2 hours to download it through Steam

I got to say this game is a revelation to me since RBR and CMR 1 or 2, cant even remember, the ffbs are right there, immediatly like in Simbin's, even online one can force cockpit view to get rid of all the crash kids.
It holds everything of what Shift promised

 

[Lee Downham]

11GB :eek: ... damn I hope I get the DVD with my new card

Well ... I is proper loving the demo and can see many a enjoyably wasted evening devoured by sideways mud chomping fun ... so if I don't get it free, I will very likely be calling on someone in the family to buy me a nice little Christmas pressie :thumb:

Close cams coming for DiRT 2

I'm trying to create some close cams for DiRT 2 like I did for GRID. I've got the camera files converted from bin to txt, but I'm not sure which directories are for which cars. I assumed the sti folder was for the first car (sub sti), but through my testing, I'm not sure that is the case... If someone knows what car folders are for what cars, I'd love it if you'd provide your knowledge.

 

[Trebor901]

there's 2 Impreza's on there it might be the new shape one

How to change your player name in DiRT 2?

I cannot change my player name, anyone else has the same?

Unplug your steering wheel, reload the game and edit your profile. You should be able to do it if your wheel is disconnected. Then save your profile, shut the game down, reload the game and set up your steering wheel again...

I'll do some more testing.

Rob, I think you're right. Ok. Close cams coming.

Overuse of bloom in DiRT 2

In the mean time, they have posted 2 shots from the PC version to tease us till the game is published. The PC date is still unknown at this time.

They overused bloom again :devil:

 

[Trebor901]

They overused bloom again :devil:

I think the bloom use is just right, on Dirt1 it was horrible because there was so much of it but on this one there isnt anywhere near as much

Agreed on that Rob, I think it looks just right, especially from cockpit view.

I can't save game. DiRT 2 bug with GFWL and XP64

Pointless me playing it at the moment. I can't save game because of a bug with GFWL and XP64.

 

[Dan Coldrick]

I'm loving this game, had some great races online with the NSSR crew, this gets my racing game of the year vote! Defo not a sim game but still great fun!

 

[Marcel Hulsbergen]

I can play it on Ultra and stilll runs smooth at 1920x1200. Amazing effects, i love the water and dirt effects.

 

[Richard Kay]

I've managed to work around the XP64 bug so hopefully I can give this a proper trial now.

BTW if anyone else is experiencing the same problem with XP64 and GFWL you need to uninstall the GFWL version that Dirt 2 installs and find an older version - v. 3.0.86.0 from the M$ site.

Agreed with you on that Dan, first non sim game that I've enjoyed for ages. Great graphics and sound and some of the attention to detail is great - tyre flex, driveshafts spinning, double sided brake glow, proper suspension movement including spring compression, real time environment maps, 3d sound, damage, water effects and dirt effects. Nothing beats Battersea Rallycross at night in an RS200
