Grid

MagusUK · 20 Jul 2011 at 18:46

Just picked this up from Steam (used to have it on PS3) for 2.99 & going to install some of these Ultra High, Dx10 & Dargo's (track lighting) Mods...anyone given them a try before? Any good?

I used to play the hell out of this game on xbox live. My tastes have shifted to sims since then but there's no denying GRID was a massively entertaining and fun racer.

Didnt think there were mods for this, where would i get them as the dx10 mod sounds interesting if its true.

Going to have to run this again maxed and see what FPS i get before i install these mods i think.

SkeeterUK · 20 Jul 2011 at 19:49

Hmm just had a search for mods, not easy to find or how many good ones are out there.

Found a few mods but doubt ill try em. The b somit or other mod sounds like its of no use to me. The dx10 mod just is a fake dx10 mod and just disables ambient occulation lighting i think and somit else which i duno about others but i like the way grid looks.

Some any car any track mod but not sure, maybe depends if im sick of same cars on tracks all the time or not lol.

This is all we know - they are working on it, but don't think there is a release date. Rumours were 2012, but who knows.

Grid 2 is down for a Spring 2012 Release

All the Mods available are listed HERE

I installed:
Dargos (lighting) Mod,
Ultra High v15Beta3.7 Mod (for extra high settings) - be warned, taking some settings to max (eg reflection) can cripple the game to the point of it not loading. If it happens you then need to go to MyDocs & within the Codemaster - GRID - Hardware settings, delete both xml files.
DirecX 10 in the Grid/Shaderpack folder
Raceload.jpk in the root folder.

Looks a lot better than before but mostly I appreciate the lighting Mod as it removes that yellow tint that codemaster love so much.

Where you get that info?

We still trying to get an official news release from Codemasters that GRID 2 is definitely getting work on full time, now that DIRT 3 done and out the door.

Chances of GRID 2 Being announced at E3?

I think it was Dnote who recently posted about Grid and Dirt 2, saying Dirt 3 was done first as Dirt 2 had sold so well, and that fanbase popularity overall was taken into consideration, stating that the opinions here in the forum constitute a very small part of that.

Strange, if we are to believe that Dirt games, fanbase wise, are so popular why did only Grid have so many people always clamouring to be online one had to scroll because of so many active servers, yet in Dirt it has been a struggle by comparison.
Or are we supposed to believe everyone we met online were just the people from the forum so it doesn't count ?

I still remember the BS Codemasters fed us about the bi-annual nature of producing Dirt and Grid, yeah, right . . .

- Community Liaison - At the time the decision, for various reasons was to go with another DiRT game, in hindsight, that was still the right thing to do, but you guys aren't forgotten

That the only words we have gotten in the GRID forum so far about GRID 2 from Codies. :confused:

Here a thread to read if want to try GRID on tunngle:

GRID is ALIVE and working with TUNNGLE!....

GameRanger works, but you can take a big hit in FPS, causing came to lag.

Grid 1.3 AnyCar AnyTrack mod.

Thanks for that.

All the instructions in German though, so instead of translating or asking for help, i've just bunged all of the files into the folders that i thought they should go in to

It all works, so it must be ok

Kosmiche · 25 Jul 2011 at 20:42

How can they just drop the entire multiplayer element?

I've never heard of this, old games yes but didn't this game come out in 2007 or something. Flaming ridiculous, masters of code my ****.

Can I expect to not be able to play f1 2010 online in 3 years? Really hope this doesn't become common practice.

F1 2010 uses GFWL, so I doubt it'll be dropped in the same way.

You can still play Grid using alternative methods.

oh thas shame multiplayer made grid what it was ,

Apart from the first corner armaggeddon

Great game.

physichull · 25 Jul 2011 at 22:58

Always struggled playing Grid, I much preferred the Dirt series, I'm not a very good games driver. Dirt 3 is particularly good though, the graphics on the Michigan races are especially convincing, runs with great frames and everything on max too.

Pighardia · 25 Jul 2011 at 23:44

I don't think i could take multiplayer in this anyway tbh. I'm not a big racing game player, i would crash in to other players far too much and end up rage quitting all the time.

I am loving the game so far though, and put it down as one of the biggest bargains i've had recently

kiel367 · 25 Jul 2011 at 23:56

i always enjoyed the destruction derby and the drift events online, that is, if some muppet didnt crash into me on drift killing my uber multipliers lol

wakayoda · 25 Jul 2011 at 23:58

GRID = YES

the third party middleware licence used for GRiD multiplayer on PC and PS3 was not allowed to be renewed apparently as the company had since been bought by Activision since 2007...
