On the note of losing all your stuff. You can keep this version installed and make your Profiles offline instead of online so you can kinda carry on. Just delete the commondt.sav file in the games save directorys in my documents. I did it with the last beta and was still playing while the servers were offline getting ready for the open beta.

If you're looking for all the dealers you can change the options in map mode to show them all. It will tell you when you have visited them and unlocked bikes. Don't get too excited though the bikes are crap. If they were anything like Moto gp 3 I would have been happy but they aren't. Unless they have been tweaked since I tried them.

Had 3 guys "challenge" me so far. One guy in an Enzo, one in a McLaren Mercedes and 1 in a F430.

Owned them in all my Gallardo. Lol.

Had a neat race against a Saleen last night, around the tight and twisties on the island to the east. I managed a close win with my stage 3'd Caterham.

Just got my 8800 GTX. Can't wait to see how things run now.

MeddlE · 31 Jan 2007 at 18:41

I'm getting 30-50fps @ 1920x1200 and 2x AA on the rig in my sig.

not with the ATI X1000 boards and NVidia 8800's

I am running an ATI X1900 XT and get a good 40-60fps at 1920x1200 with hardly any performance hit by adding 2x AA , but if I have HDR on it cripples the avg fps down to around 20fps

Found this, hope it helps people find dealers they want:

I think its fromt he 360 version... dunno how accurate it is

Can you rehost the pic

Lashout_UK · 31 Jan 2007 at 21:15

Dunno about you - but I can easily find 'unlocated' dealers and shops on my map. There's a graphics glitch that causes anyone I haven't found to be displayed as a shimmering black hole on the map, so I simply pan around looking for ones I might not have seen

I've found several that aren't even open, just empty shells!

Get near a car...lag, get near a corner...lag.
It's unplayable, 3.5gb of unplayable crap.

do you have any control devices connected ? specifically a Msoft FF wheel ?
its a known issue in the BETA with countless threads on the BETA forums
disconnect all controllers then try ...
also, what you call unplayable crap is actually a BETA that many have no problems running and enjoy
instead of moaning why not do what you agreed to do by signing up to the BETA, raise the problem and tell the dev's, there might be a fix .. duh!

:rolleyes:
