Any of you guys having problems when using the postprocess_off.zip above AFTER you total your vehicle? The game just stops there for me. Cannot press ESC or any key except ChangeView/Look left+Right+Back. I reverted back to original postprocess files and everything is ok.

The minimum specs in the readme that came with the game:

QUOTE

    * 1GB RAM.

    * DirectX Compatible Sound Card

If your Inspiron came with built-in gfx, I guess you're out of luck. Btw latest nvidia drivers are at 175.16 for GeForce8 series (if you've opted for the optional GF8400 card).

lol linkin, that's like a rantview than a review laugh.gif But it was informative nonetheless. We all knew that this game isn't going to be realistic but I agree that the arcade/realism is sometimes inconsistent. I couldn't even start a race without Traction Control as the wheels kept spinning and losing control.

As linkin pointed out, having multiple tire sponsors is just plain weird or lazy. I didn't like the chase camera view either, way too low making it almost impossible (for a noob like me) to see the track in LeMans. I also agree the bloom effects are a little overdone.

For those who still bother having a config for turning off blur and postprocessing, here's something I found which has been tested working AND bug-free biggrin.gif :

QUOTE
1. Edit the file "\My Documents\Codemasters\GRID\hardwaresettings\hardware_settings_config.xml"
2. Change these settings:
CODE
postprocess enabled="true" blur="true"

to

CODE
postprocess enabled="false" blur="false"

3. Save the file

Only cars to race. No customization except color scheme (which isn't much).

Nope.
