*** Official Dirt 2 (PC) Thread*** DX 11

I personally quite enjoy the jeeps and buggies etc, as they provide a bit of relaxation after the mentally exhausting rally stages.

They had these in the original dirt, but without yanks all over the place, and the tracks were way better, in the first half hour of playing dirt 2 im sick of the courses, and they are short.

i actually see little point having a co-driver in this game, you barely need one.

i mean, i set my audio nickname to my actual name (craig) and the yankies pronounce it gregg, WTF! :mad:
 
I love the jeeps and buggies - the raid and landrush courses are what got me interested. The rally and rallycross were too hard.
But after i got the hang of the jeep courses (using the Dodge truck at first - "smash! yay! I can hit things and not roll over (too much)"), I got into the other ones.

I like the course length. It's just right for me to say, "Hmm, a few minutes to kill, I'll do a Dirt 2 course." And then it's just one more race, and just one more...

I am intrigued by the first game though, I'll download the demo to check it out. Is the demo a good representation of the game experience?
 
the original dirt has terrible handling not a patch on the fun style in dirt 2, this is the new sega rally to me

what were you using, a wooden controller or something? the handling was more better in dirt.

either way its lost its meaning over the years, what started out as a good rally game has ended up on the american bandwagon and lost focus of itself.

bring back the long varied tracks, with just you and the co-driver, way better then this dude, cool, dawg american crap
 
The Colin McRae Rally games ended in 2005.

These are Colin McRae Dirt, which is a completely different game series.

The shame is that proper rally games no longer exist, but dont blame the new series' for that.
 
I found a bug, and a fix.

We all know the save system was pretty dodgee with the original Dirt, i dont think much has changed with Dirt 2 either.

The bug:

had a mate round playing Street Fighter, i use a wireless pad, had to connect him a wired one. had a few bashings on there, then put Dirt 2 on, my save would not load, was corrupt!

Closed dirt, Removed the wired pad, and started Dirt 2 again, loaded perfect. Seems that either wired pads screw something up, or having more then one pad connected at the same time.

Either way, if this happens, make sure just one pad is connected ;)
 
any body getting this problem ? , i have won every race in sp mode but still stuck at 98% complete . how do i fix this ?
Its got a very buggy as hell save system. Whenever Dirtnet goes down (and it does a lot without telling you) then you can lose ingame progress. So you can be playing SP mode for hours and because Dirtnet goes down you lose that progress towards % completion. Only way to recover progress is to replay all SP events again :eek: (yep I'm not kidding either). When this happened to me I always checked Dirtnet was up after every race as well as making sure I was connected to GFWL & the ingame achievements panel in your trailer was matching GFWL as well. Codemasters really should not even have released this until the save system was fixed :mad: I spent an extra week on the game to get 100% SP & MP because of their buggy save system :eek:

Unfortunately that save bug is more serious as eventually if you play it long enough it does destroy your saves no matter what you do. Massive threads about this on the official site and naturally CM have not commented at all :mad: All you can do to limit damage is backup your entire saves folder every time you exit the game then if you get corruption just copy/paste them back in and live with only losing 1 game session progress (as opposed to all progress which has happened to some players :eek:).
 
Dam, i thought original Dirt was buggy enough (i had to install Lan drivers just for the saves to load without corrupting), but this is a joke.

We are coming into 2010, and they cant even make a stable save/load system.

I dont think i will be buying any future dirt games, they should have learned from dirt 1 the save problems :mad:
 
Well all i can say is that i have had no problems with the save system or anything else in dirt 2....100% complete in single player...bored now so gone back to NFS shift.
 
Not very good at spotting some cheaters. Recently I have noticed; when I get killed by someone, I fire a few shots towards them but obvousily they kill me first. Yet in the Killcam it shows me, at times, not even firing one shot at them?

EDIT - Ignore/Delete, wrong thread.

In seriousness, as you're obviously referring to MW2, that's just the lag due to P2P multiplayer instead of server based.
