Race Driver: GRID Clubhouse

CrackerJack · Aug 21, 2008

About to go insanse here. Can't get the game to playing any higher than 1280x1024. Got the lastest patch just now, and still no luck. Just installed 8.8 CCC but that shouldn't matter anyways. And at 1280x1024 the refresh rate will go to 30. But 1024x720 right now, is the best I can do. Still working on it.

Plus- I'm using 360 Controller

Have to meet you out online when you get the chance.

Ok, I have 2 sets of gems for you in this game;

Gem #1
Regardless if you use a wheel or game pad you should get better control if you tell grid to alway use the wheel settings. You can do this by finding your hardware_settings_config.xml, (use window's serach feature to find it) open it with notepad:
change: <input device_type="Auto" />
to: <input device_type="wheel" /> (wheel is lower case)
Just like you see it here. This will give you a whole lot more maneuverability for all the cars. I am not sure why this isn't the default setting with some minor tweaking for game pad users. If you use a game pad the greatest steering rotation will be at the center of the car's steering wheel. In other words you will only need a little push on the thumb pad to get the car to turn.

Gem #2
Someone had modded this game to allow for a roof cam. This will allow you to see further down the track. Thus, allowing you to anticipate maneuvering much quicker. This is also great for servers that have crashing off as you will be able to see the road when someone superimposes inside your car.

Post your thoughts on these gems that I found help improve lap time.

Widjaja · Aug 26, 2008

Yeah can put some people off when they ghost through your car.

grunt_408 · Sep 1, 2008

Have played it a little but now I am waiting for my new PSU to get exchanged wouldnt believe it brand new Thermaltake 750 Modular is giving random power offs. I whacked in a Antec 500w earthwatts and had no power offs at all!

philbrown23 · Sep 8, 2008

I cannot get this game to load up? i click "play" and up comes the black screen and GRID logo but it sticks there, doesnt freeze it just does not go past that point no matter how long I leave it? WTF?

erocker · Sep 8, 2008

Did you install the 1.2 patch?

philbrown23 · Sep 8, 2008

I found the problem its a file that gets downloaded when you download soundmax driver from the asus website.

philbrown23 · Sep 8, 2008

oh yeah add me to the list, logitech rumble pad, but I like my G15 to

erocker · Sep 24, 2008

So does anyone know how to setup AA profiles for ATi cards in this game?

EastCoasthandle · Sep 24, 2008

There have been posts of online cheating with Grid. I haven't been online in a while but there are some wild things people are doing.

Yes there are online hacks.
CM are not going to do anything about it for GRID either.
Just have to type in GRID cheats into youtube to watch it all in action.

erocker · Sep 24, 2008

Well, I win most of the time, so hacks or not they still are horrible drivers. Anyways, does anyone know anything about my question a few posts up?

You should get a good laugh out of this. Unbelievable! :laugh:

You better pay attention to what cars are being selected before you ready up! I guess the ole saying came true..."all your (Grid) points are belong to me".

Yeah I've seen sLoWm0 around before and I have heard of this happening once before but with a skyline in a GT1 race.

Can't quite remember how it was done though.

Lol, the Lacetti's and Bimmers should of formed a wall and wrecked him! Heck, I mostly play demo derby nowdays, I would welcome someone entering in an Aston! :laugh:

As far as the AA profiles that I'm most likely brutally mis-quoting, I heard you could do something similar in the game as you would with Crysis Warhead concerning AA and ATi cards.

Oh yeah. After researching that a bit more I wasn't able to find the file(s) to tweak. The person who made mention of it never properly exampled what one needed to do.

Link here

hardware_settings_config.xml & Hardware-Settings-Options.xml are found in X:\Program Files\Codemasters\GRID\system. The only CSAA I find starts at 8x. So, it appears that 4xmsaa is fine IMO.

DiRT was a very unoptimized POS.
Obviously couldn't meet the deadline in time.
CM nailed it on the head with GRID though and they know it otherwise they would not be releasing the DLC pack.
