My advice would be to not post about personal matters like this on the forums. That way you don't have a need to complain regarding "similar responses" :toast:. Be that as it may, Shift will be patched. Buying another video card "just to see" is something I wouldn't recommend based on timing of next gen cards and the patch of the game. If you are buying the card for other reasons well it's just plainly off topic to this thread.

Tell you what, why don't you write to Wizz nicely and ask him to make you a mod if you feel that strongly about it? By Monday I will have first hand experience with which to guide people about this game, which is more than your "opinions"....

Yeah, I don't like it either. I think increasing the steering deadzone to abour 23 (using game pad) has helped the most.

If you want to know how to setup your rumble pad for this game take a look at this video (optional) and read the description.

I found it while browsing for something else. I haven't tried it though.

I am able to play it with 8xAA, 16xAF, 1680x1050 and all settings maxed. FPS does drop slightly in some cases, but still for me its playable. 4XAA should work without noticing FPS drops. I am impressed after Undercover catastrophic.

NFSU had certain points of graphical slowdown on the PC, and it was a certain spot each time i Played on a Radeon 9700 Pro.

Yeah, I tried 8xAA as well and didn't notice that much of drop from 4xAA. They just need to fix all the problems people are complaining about and it might be as good as Grid ;)

Wait, there's problems with this game and ATi? The demo ran beautifully on my 4890. Unfortunately the game tries to be Gran Turismo, and in this regard it fails. Comparing the courses of this game to the same courses on GRID, graphically GRID blows it off the track. The cars also feel to stiff. I guess I would prefer just playing a different racing game instead of buying this one.

Many are complaining of several issues with this game. They are (from what I understand):
-Some believe that this game is hampering Radeon video cards.
-Some say they are having "warping problems" where the momentum slows down for no apparent reason
-Some say they are having unusual stutter problems
-Some say they can't get the game to work properly
-Some say they have lower then expected performance for the game
-Some say they are experience input lag
And other issues. According to the developer they recognized the complaints and offered a few suggestions. A patch appears (at least to me) is forthcoming.

Being an avid racing game fan and GT series player, this game is top notch.

Also, i have a 4870, and have no problems with my computer at 1920x1200, 2xAA 16xAF, all settings maxed.

-cardetaillevel="3"
-trackdetaillevel="3"
-shadowdetaillevel="3"
-motionblurLevel="3"
-effectsdetaillevel="3"

my FPS dropped to 30-40 ... game still RUNS smooth... no issues...

using the latest FRAPS ... (seems they just had a update)

Heads up!

The modding community is formulating some great mods. However, at this time everything is rough around the edges on how to do it. There is one place that has a few mods already. I will keep my eye out once things settle down and there is an easy way to mod the game.

The modding community is formulating some great mods. However, at this time everything is rough around the edges on how to do it. There is one place that has a few mods already. I will keep my eye out once things settle down and there is an easy way to mod the game.

wow, mods that reduce the graphics content.... I was thinking mods that actually matter. I guess this would help those on laptops running a 9300. w/e

It would be great if they came out with an expansion for more cars + more tracks, and more car-specific tracks. (IE max 400HP races, or RWD or FWD/2000LBS max tracks, etc...)

i get very little problems with this game, a few lockups . i get around 30-40 fps @ 1440x900 aax8 16xAF . which is suprising as ive only got a 5000be @2.8 with a gtx260-192 . im happy its a great game best since the underground games and hotpursuit.
