Race Driver: Grid

[knowledge123]

Looking good. what res/graphics card combo are you at, as 40fps is on the borderline of acceptable for me...?

Also, it has quite clearly kept lots of the DiRT eliments in terms of lighting, the softness of everything and lots of glaring light reflections.

I'm playing @ 720p Shush!
I have an E6600 @ stock, 3GB RAM and a 2900XT, running perfectly fine all maxed out, very smooth.

Actually, just played the last race (San Fransisco) and I'll say the graphics look mighty purdy. It does average around 40fps (using Fraps)

It looks sooo much better in motion, trust me

Smoke effects are nice, too:

The support for Joypads is quite impressive, I use a Joytech Neo-s, and it works really well with it.

That the latest, or the buggy one?

Because some people are downloading from CM's and have no idea whether it's latest or buggy.

Rather more official link (although does go to the same place) Id recon they are up now then.

EDIT: And what a perfect time for Virgin Media to hit me with the nightly un-usable internet speed!

Downloading now from the gamershell link gnetx provided above.

http://www.gamershell.com/download_25620.shtml

The following from the earlier Gamershell's links page is rather worrying though.

'Notice that there is a known issue with the multiplayer portion of the demo - a black screen dead state has been seen about once an hour in Online Testing. An updated "fixed" version will be released shortly.'

So is this the updated demo link?
