have to agree the game looks nice, but what about the handeling. Seems like it sucks on the 360... same for the PC?

Will probably get the 360 version anyway, don't think my 6600GT can handle it Razz Surprised


pc handling and performance was total shit, so i suggest 360 version coz dirt will eat your 6600 alive Razz

This is by no-way a mega gaming box.....but, i'm getting really sucky results with DIRT

Played around with various graphics settings in game, but the thing runs in slo-mo

Somthin just ain't right. All my other GPU intense games run just fine.

Im having some problems with this rel. FIrst the shadow of tha car is huge, it looks really wierd. When im looking on the videos posted here, they look normal but when i play it dosnt. And the big problem is that i lose the engine sound when i race. It dosnt happen in every race, and i cant really tell why. After the sound is lost the game runs fine trough the race, but when i start the next race, it laggs until it crashes.

Im not sure if this is because of the protection of the game or some other incompabilitys whit my drivers/hardware. Does anybode else have similar problems?

Huge shadow -> try setting shadow quality from ultra to high.

Glad I'm not the only one with poor performance. Playing at 1600x1200 max settings and it is barely playable. I am really enjoying the game though. Although, I need to figure out the car tuning a little still - because the dirt rally races are a little too hard to control.

Yeah, unfortunately that was my savior. I didn't have any luck without YASU or with YASU 1.2 7050. When I used YASU 1.2b 7060 the game started.

No problem glad to help. I know it won't work for everyone but it worked for me. YASU plainly supports Securom and SafeDisc but for some reason gets me by StarForce. I am thinking StarForce has been forced to be more like Securom because of all the bad publicity and they are trying, trying to stay in business. I hate that StarForce installed drivers on my Vista Ultimate. Hopefully CodeMasters will take a look at forums like this and realize StarForce doesn't matter and people are able to play their game anyway.

i dont know if its just me, but the controls are very bad using a logitech rumblepad 2, tried different setting for deadzone, saturation but none of those settings give me a good feeling controling the car Evil or Very Mad


Same here, it steers much to hard/fast with a controller. Anyone already found something for it?

Seems like a fun race game besides the crappy controls and crappyness of the port.

We expect games to be optimized. 7600GT is not shitty.

Exactly.

I mean, my 7600GT gpu runs at 620 MHz, memory at 1600 MHz, set by rivatuner. And, the gfx card is not the problem, the game is just not optimized.
In demo, when i played the buggy race, temp of gfx card was at 50 C max, but, on other two tracks (Subaru and Lancer) it was about 55 C.

Yes, you are right that your clocks on the 7600GT are very good. It's the memory interface of 128bit that's your bottle neck. Your memory is GDDR3 which is very good. But I wouldn't expect to much past what you are getting at 128bit.

What emulations are you using for DT? It wouldn't work for me when I had them turned off. But as soon as I turned them on it worked. Also are you using YASU 1.2b 7060 Beta?
