The DiRT 3 Clubhouse!

Shifts drifting is garbage. Compared to trying to drift in really good sims: LFS, GT5, Forza 3, shift doesnt do drifting properly at all.

Id say dirt 3 does a good job of it. Im having trouble as well though. I play on casual (not all that competitive with this game) and i got silver on the first drift event.

Yeah, don't think the AMC would quite compete here, lol.

nice car dude,

games sick, ive had much less sleep then a working man needs or is healthy and im not young enough for this malarky anymore i nearly didnt get back from dinner today( KO'd in car ) it took a comedy amount of people/noise to wake me.

tried cat 11.5b last night and im impressed i gained 5-10 fps and ive hacked the config to death, everythings MAXED, way higher then is possible in menus but im still playing at a nice 60fps with 4xmsAA and Morpho on too nice, though i do have a critic for codemasters as i think their menus are EVEN worse then dirt 2 and as std and set to ultra in gfx options i wasnt impressed with the gfx, not much better then 2

Nah, I play with 8xAA, dual 6950's

Fron benchmark results:

av_fps="102.128525" min_fps="85.176109"

I see no need for SSAA.

Attachment broken here too.

As do I, I'm just wondering if it works... Bored, working, etc..

Attachment works for me.

I do like this one so far, took me a few times to get the platinum trophy for drifting in Detroit, but I got there eventually. Is it just me or does the snow not have enough "slip"?

Widjaja · May 27, 2011

I'm really liking Gymkhana but no one wants to compete with me

They do 3 events with me get beaten then they immediately change it to capture the flag and then camp out near the flag destinations to take the flag off me and get the win.

Did that already and still no luck, I see Cadveca has the same problem.. I contacted an admin

dirt3.exe keeps crashing on me when loading into races. it happens sporatically. i hit up the dirt 3 forums and it is happening to a lot of people withh different specs. i bet it is a steam issue or windows live issues. gotta love all of this third party interaction....:shadedshu

yeh tried that too with morpho on still not without, it looked a bit worse to me more zaggies and some flickering textures also reduced percieved smoothness a fair bit though i lost just 4 fps

my friends been having the exact same issue only when loading the race about once per 2hrs play (we both been hammering the game since 00.15am tues)he is using a 2gb gtx460 with latest 275 drivers, nothing ive suggeseted to him has worked but i think its a driver issue as he has a similar spec to me bar gfx yet ive not had 1 crash

Spiked tires.it seems as if there is a hard "G" limit to each car, once it's broken, control is lsot, but once you pass back under, it grips right to the surface...which, I guess, might be accurate with spiked wheels?

And yeah, that's kinda what I'm talking about. It's close, but not quite there? to much consolization on the user inputs, or something. I am really liking that sometimes the car is "autoconfig'd" for races, and then to get the top spot, many times, requires just tweaking one or two settings to get it "just right".

I spent countless hours in Shift2 customizing each car for each track. You don't need to do this here...but, at the same time, i kinda miss it.

No issues to report here, no crashes, no weird graphical issues, although I'm disappointed there's not quite as many options as I was execpting, it's still gonna be what keeps me busy for the next little while.

Widjaja · May 27, 2011

I'm having some issues in DiRT 3 as well.
Not serious ones like Easy Rhino though.

1:-DiRT 3 will not save my custom setting for my controller.
2:-On rare occasion the frames will drop and my controller stops working for a couple of seconds.

I'm having these issues as well... A few people in the Codemasters forum said it had something to do with Windows Live.. But I still haven't found a fix. Will give anyone who comes up with a fix 100 thanks! :rolleyes:
