Kondrath Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 I'm hoping they'll release rain/snow as DLC... So far the two most annoying things are 1. Dumb loading screens! I don't really care about seeing my "missions" or achievements every single time I start a race. I'm pretty sure it doesn't even take that whole time to load. It just likes to show you your status I guess. 2. "HAIRPIN TURN, LONG 60, SHORT, 40, JUST A SCRATCH, CREST...into, CREST..." :rofl: The first time it did that, I kept on trying to deactivate the voice...

trag3dy Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 for those who cant get their gamepad working with Dirt2 (menu control), download the XBOX360 Controller Emulator & put the two files in game directory.files: xinput1_3.dll, xbox360cemu.ini download link : http://www.tocaedit.com/IB/index.php?autom...&showfile=4 Does that work for any type of game pad? I have a logitech Rumblepad 2 and not an xbox 360 controller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kondrath Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Weird, I seem to have lost about 10 frames. I don't know what's causing it. All settings remained unchanged on my pc and in-game since yesterday, yet I am only maxing 51fps, and hardly 60 in the menus. Restarting doesn't help... :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victor Rambo Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 I want to do a quick little survey here. How many agree with Victor Rambo that Dirt 1 is better than Dirt 2. I'm asking because, IMO, Dirt1 sucked.. it was a huge disappointment for me. If Dirt 2 is worse than Dirt 1 there's no way in hell I'm buying it. Victor Rambo, I respect your opinion on the game and this is no way an attack. I liked dirt 1 more coz it wasn't repetitive and had more tracks/cars. Even it had rainy weather. Also menu system was ****ing awesome. :shifty: :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victor Rambo, I respect your opinion on the game and this is no way an attack. i played dirt1 for 2-3hour max, i really didnt like it. the control was too twitchy & the brakes were retarded. dirt2 is a lot better compared to dirt1, but its repetitive. not many tracks & the AI audio is also repetitive. i hope they release a patch to shorten the loading time, as i mentioned earlier, while loading, the HDD is active only for a mere 10seconds. i timed the race & after race loading - its always 1min., for every single track. Does that work for any type of game pad? I have a logitech Rumblepad 2 and not an xbox 360 controller. yup, it'll work. best thing about this game is it lets you re-map the controller to your preference :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solardog Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 (edited) I liked dirt 1 more coz it wasn't repetitive and had more tracks/cars. Even it had rainy weather. Also menu system was ****ing awesome. :shifty: :p Now I understand. Those are some good reasons why Dirt 1 would be better. Thanks. i played dirt1 for 2-3hour max, i really didnt like it.the control was too twitchy & the brakes were retarded. dirt2 is a lot better compared to dirt1, but its repetitive. not many tracks & the AI audio is also repetitive. i hope they release a patch to shorten the loading time, as i mentioned earlier, while loading, the HDD is active only for a mere 10seconds. i timed the race & after race loading - its always 1min., for every single track. That's just sounds aggravating. Now I dont know. I've seen a lot of vids and have the demo and it looks like they used some of the same graphics technique they used for GRID. This doesn't happen often to me, but I may be going the graphics ho route on this one. Thanks. This video just made up my mind, definitely going G - Ho on this one: Edited December 11, 2009 by solardog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victor Rambo, I respect your opinion on the game and this is no way an attack. DiRT 2 is better than DiRT 1 in just about every way. It's been awhile since I played the latter so I don't remember the number of cars and tracks, but I did remember the weather effects and the cool-looking menus. Aside from those two things which DiRT 2 doesn't have, DiRT 1 is inferior (which makes sense). The graphics alone is a reason to play the game. The EGO game engine has come a long way since it was first introduced in 2007. Simply put, the game looks good, plays good, and runs good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zain Adeel Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 well loading times is long not because its loading the whole time. its because of the stupid achievements and stats that show up.. they take all the time. when i played the DEMO .. i was like they shold make the menu work faster.. but they didnt make is so fast..

Victor Rambo Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 One thing i have noticed that replays wont work when you have low hdd space on system drive. :/ That was with dirt 1 & grid too i think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zain Adeel Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 and i noticed a bug sometimes if u crash the flashback thing dont work.. i mean it would go back so slow that the start of the replay would be the point where u are just about to crash.. so u have to race again.

Billus Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Can't believe Codemasters left out clutch support...again. Can't be that difficult to program in. Other then that, fine game. Perhaps not the most realistic but fun nevertheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sethos Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 I already got bored of the game, seems so many games these days focus on leaving out tons of content but then just spit-polishing what little they have left. So what they have is a decent game that works and perform excellent but have about as much content as Pacman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It better be free because releasing a completely stripped out product and then charging users to add just a bit of content would be a major douche-bag move.
