Sega Rally Revo PC

Finaly got my hands on this + a decent game pad. It's everything I could have wanted it to be, true Sega Rally.

My only niggle is I get absolutely abysmal performance in the Rally's unless I have the settings on there lowest.
I can run everything on high when just doing the time trials, but throw 6 cars on the track and it just dies.
Spec is X2 4200 and a GTX, so was expecting better but I can live with playing the rally's on low to unlock the cars for the time trials + world rankings.

Overall no regrets what so ever and I can see many hours spent trying to get to the top of the world rankings on at least one track, allready some awesome times posted which I can't get anywhere near :D

So I might mess about with some drivers, if anyone has a GTX and a similar spec CPU what drivers are you using. (I think im on the Bioshock ones)

Menu's are nice and simple, setting up a pad is simple, loading times are virtualy zero, and on high it does look stunning and the way the tracks get ripped up during a rally is awesome. Meh I love it what else is there to say.
 
I like it as well, although my ps2 pad was a bit twitchy, not sure if a 360 one would be better.

Its all good fun though, il test it out on my new quad core, 8800gtx rig tomorrow.

Yeah I tried a PS2 pad and it was ok, just as you say twitcy. I picked up a wireless logitech rumble pad and it's loads better, just does'nt rumble much. It's certainly a game that you could never play with the keyboard.
Suprised there is no option to adjust steering sensitivity which takes a lot of getting use to as it stands now, very very sharp and pretty much impossible to recover from the slightest mistake.

As for difficulty settings, I don't think there is one as the races are split into novice amateur and pro/master/expert I forget. So it gradualy just get's harder the higher up the ladder you go. Im still not able to get 30 points in the first round :o although I do have a time up on the Safari 1 track world rankings all be it some 20 seconds off first place :(

Yep but not tried it yet.

Does anyone use a http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GC-015-LG&groupid=702&catid=288&subcat= Rumble 2 pad and know how to get it to rumble in SR. It rumbled during instllation and it rumbles when I turn the vibration on/off but it is not recieving any rumble info from the game. I have ticked the allow force feedback box and I have set the rumble to 150% yet still my hands they don't shake :(
 
Theres a vibration tick box for pads and ff tick box for other in the other tab, you ticked the right box?
Edit - Oh cool didnt know pads had ff with it being wireless. Nice 1. :) Tho i bet batteries get used up very quick. Is the batteries your using not used up hence no feedback?

About mp i had a race against someone, was absolutly fine, tho i lost lol.

I don't have a "other" tab, just audio options, controler options and graphics options. In controller options I have allow ff ticked. New batteries, and no low battery light. I'll give Dirt a quick try see if it works on that.

EDIT
Yeah works in Dirt just fine.

Well I played this today and I can say it is the most fun i've had for a long time plus it really did remind me of sega rally championship in the arcades.
Played with the 360 controller with everything maxed out at 1920x1200 and it is as smooth as silk.
Well worth it shame i am such a nOOb at it.
 
Well I've tried everything and I can't get vibration to work. Hopefully Helmutcheese will know as he has the same pad.
Anybody figured out how to download the ghosts of the fastest times? I'm doing my best to move up the ranking of Safari 1 but the hairpin is knocking me out everytime :p
 
Thanks for the heads up, downloading now. Wonder if it will get my force feedback to work.
EDIT
Applied patch, can't sign in anymore and vibrations still does'nt work and I swear they have adjusted the steering sensitivity which has thrown my whole game out. Anyone else notice it?.

OK after applying patch you need to create a new account. I guess they had to wipe the leaderboards as they have altered the steering resulting in much faster lap times. You can just delete existing account and re-register the same name. Also ghost uploading works now so you can race agaist the people your trying to beat on the board, the Escort RS don't half shift.

If anyone tried this game and dropped it because of the steering, give it another try now. Much more forgiving.

Still can't get vibration to work so I'm open to suggestions on that. (Logitech cordless rumblepad 2)

The game has been coded mainly for the 360 controller, and the rumble works fine on that pad. Looks like all the new games are written for the 360 controller which is a nightmare but lucky if like me youve got a 360 :)
 
Everyone should make sure the launcher is not running in the background as you play, Do this by making a new shortcut directly to the exe in the games folder. I found the launcher was somehow eating up 15-20fps!

Super game, Playing with xbox 360 pad. Love the soundtrack and car sounds too, Really great game!
