It rocks! a warning to anyone with a crappy system though, you will weep....

But for us high-end system users, the pwnz0ragest (quote me on that) rally game is here!

Its recommended reqs are just too high for me.

Gotta get a console soon.

I love this game, the graphics are really good and the races are fun. When I play it, I race for a bit, then I go the wrong way on the track to crash. Can anybody find out how to extract the music from this game, I know all the names but I have searched through every possible folder for the game and could not find anything that was anything related to audio. I went into the audio folder, but all there is, is just .WIP files and .WIA files. I tried changing one of them to every audio format I know, and they don't play, and nothing converts them.

Yeah, great game. Running at 640x480 on low (but could probably put on high) here (ATi X1650/C2D E6300). Still looks great, though. Bit buggy, and savegame loading is wacko.

Overall, great game.

Where's everyone up to, btw?

I second that... BKize told me his 8800 GTS (?) barely ran it... I have a Radeon 9200 and I said that my system would die trying to run it

runs like crap on my 7900GTO.... crap optimizing codemasters -.-
overall very cool game though, finished it last week

looks awesome for the 360. have to wait until september for the ps3 version to come out.

weedman173 · Post by **weedman173** » 01 Jul 2007, 21:04

@Driv2Slow: Does BKize have a good processor, because I have a 8800GTS and it runs fine at 1680x1050 and all the options on high.

Finally managed to finish about 98% of the career races, although u only need like 60-65% completion to reach the last race.

Awesome graphics, and especially the AI. They're extremely realistic, example in almost every race, heck almost every lap, i get to see atleast one of the AI drivers spin out of control or make mistakes. This might be different for different difficulty lvls.

Minor bug i have noticed is that some of the AI cars have there car numbers inverted.

Would 2.4 GHz 1.25 GB RAM 220GB HDD 7600GT Overclocked (twice) run it?

Download the demo and give it a shot.

darknight788 · Post by **darknight788** » 02 Jul 2007, 00:38

i dl'ed the demo and this game rocks ! im going to buy it runs pretty smooth not as great as tdu but still pretty good

race_invader · Post by **race_invader** » 02 Jul 2007, 01:37

It runs very excellent on xbox360 love the interior view makes makes me feel as though im in the car

Post by **TheStig** » 02 Jul 2007, 12:50

I played the demo on the 360 but eventhough the GFX and the sounds are great, I am not at all impressed by the handling of the cars, feels very arcade like. braking sometimes feels instant.
The older CMR rally games had more realistic handling where you really had to work to keep the car on the road, now.. to easy, when you feel like going of the road just brake and your standing still, even on gravel etc.

BASGTA · Post by **BASGTA** » 02 Jul 2007, 14:03

I know for a fact that my computer can't run this game, because my video card is only SM2.0 and this game requires you to have a SM3.0 video card.

Anyway, I bought CMR 2005, and it's pretty good, although the handling of the car is very, very arcade-y. I asked my friend who has DIRT if the handling is the same as CMR 2005 and he said yeah, so that alone makes me not want to play this game.

If anyone wants to play a rally game I recommend Richard Burns Rally. It's a rally simulator and some people think it's unplayable with the keyboard, but I can play it fine.

I got some bad news for ppl playing this game on PC.

You can only save your progress ie savegame, only if you are online. If you go offline while the game is saving, your savegame will be corrupted...and u loose all your progress, and u cant retrieve it back.

i got the bad news before it was too late.

Also there is another way for users without internet, but requires a LAN card. Using ur lan card create an artificial LAN connection, and it fixes the problem

Fishwhiz · Post by **Fishwhiz** » 09 Jul 2007, 19:10

for some reason the ps3 version isn't as pretty as the 360 version...

Carcrazy · Post by **Carcrazy** » 09 Jul 2007, 20:22

They don't know how to use the PS3 yet.

Fishwhiz · Post by **Fishwhiz** » 09 Jul 2007, 22:30

obviously. the only people who can use complete ps3 power is sony themselves. like in motorstorm, gran turismo, etc.

This still isn't coming out for PS3 for a few months, they still have time to work on it.
