OMG on my X1300 512MB PCI-Express even on 800x600 all low it was so laggy I can't even play properly.

This is one demanding ass game. I'll just get it on 360 when I get one.

Which means your graphics card can't run it. You need at least an X1000 series card. Happened to me as well.

Casheti I just looked at you specs and we have the same cards. I guess this game requires P.S. 3.0. O well thanks for the reply.

Seems like only these crap 360 ports require SM 3.0. Oh well, better off not wasting my time playing them then.

You guys can praise this game if you like but I found it impossible to play unless you have a wheel or gamepad. I hoped to be able to use my mouse to turn left/right but that's not an option.

you should try lowering the steering saturation (in the control setup section of the options)

persoanlly, i like it at 65%. makes controlling the car with the keyboard a whole lot easier.

Yes, that's what the problem was. I have the camera set on the hood
Steering Dead Zone 40%
Steeting Saturation 65%

All is well now. Love the game!

Got the full game and its sweet, much better than 2005 and that was good graphics wise, just got boring having no one to race against!

My only quarm with it is since I installed the patch for it I cant run ultra settings because my gfx card dont have enough memory and im running it 1024x768? I installed the patch coz when I first played it, it had a massive cloud over the race so the sunlight was never shining on the car lol, was weird! Anyway it runs and looks great with high settings and im chuffed to bits with the feel of the game and with a wheel its even better! Well worth the download :D
