I'm starting to get the hang of the Gymkhana stuff with Tricksteer disabled. Its waaaay harder but a lot more fun when you get it right.

A few fuckups aside, I think thats pretty good with the assists off.

It is a lot of fun, I did all 80 missions there yesterday hoping it would unlock something other than an achievement. I really want to take the RS200 around there for a spin but it doesn't seem possible...
Anyone know how to unlock more car horns, is it done in multi-player?

Enjoying it so far. Not liking the load times though (playing on ps3).

Yeah it's a multi thing, you can also unlock unique car skins from multilayer rank ups.Milpool said:

There is a free car pack on pc which you can only download if you use a cd key on install so you can go online, more or less the same as the console vip code stuff just done with a pc cd key. It's 5 cars.Shaneus said:

Some one told me the benchmark works better when not signed into GFW so will try that to compare later on today.

That's wierd... I'm getting worse results with lower settings and strongers gpus. Was your run made while signed out of gfw?
I'm getting getting 99ish fps with sli 560s @ 900, a 2600k @ 4.5 and only 4x msaa instead of your 8xmsaa.
Which drivers ya using mate?
This game keeps crashing for me on 360. I thought it was a problem with unlocking achievements whilst loading, but it's crashed 3 times on the same event.
It saves as DNF so I have to keep replaying the same races over and over, it's becoming boring now.
Gonna wait for a patch before I play again.
I'm gutted... cos it's great when it works

Same thing happened to Keyser Soze and some people on the official forums. My advice was to uninstall the game, clear the HDD cache, and reinstall it. I never heard if that fixed it but it's worth a shot.Untracked said:This game keeps crashing for me on 360.

Something related to the Logitech Driving Force GT drivers causes my game to crash. Once I removed them, no crashes. Add them back, crashes. Rinse. Repeat.

the dirt 3 ego engine changed how it stores it's lighting values, not so easy any more to change a few numbers and make the game look different, was trying to make kenya night time racing darker because it looks annoyingly pale and overbright as it is, making it a pointless night to race in.

Finally platinumed all of the gymkhana tutorial levels last night. No assists, man some were a pain in the ass. Rewarding though when completed. I was so clumsy with the spins and donuts and now I can do that shit no problem. I want to go online damn it! (PS3 version here..sigh)
Wish the rally stages were longer

Gymkhana academy, my second attempt. It started off well but after that first contact it just went downhill and I ended up in 2nd.
Using a DFGT.

I only played Dirt 1 on PS3. It seems to run fine. Smashing into boxes and a ton of objects can cause some slow down, but for the most part it runs smoothly. I am not very pick with that stuff so maybe I don't notice as much as other people. I am focusing more on my pace notes than framerate.
Sanjay said:Looking good.
Next time you play the game, try cockpit view for a whole race and tell me its performance, seems to be broken for me in SLI and also I only get 25fps in menus too
Ditto on both accounts.
Switching to cockpit view kills the framerate and menus are horrrriiiible, I think they stress both gpus to 100% and yet barely manages to stay above 15 fps or something. Something is obviously wrong and will hopefully be addressed.
Nonetheless, while I'm ingame everything is amazing.

Yeah the menus are really bad. I honestly preferred the trailer from 2.Corky said:Hey man, I tried 8x msaa and got 91 fps, then I tried with the new drivers and got 115.
Enjoying the game thus far but somebody needs to reign in the menu designers.
Dirt 1 had probably the best menu system of any racing game, of all time, though so it's extra disappointing.
Orgun said:
pretty impressive..my DFGT arrived yesterday and I played with it for like an hour and had a hard time adjusting to it...I couldn't even do a rally without spinning out every few seconds.
Im returning it today, I just dont think I have the time to adjust to it plus setting it up each time is kind of a pain in the ass when Ill probably be done with Dirt 3 in another month or so.

Yep. I think the same. About me of course.
Dirt 1 wasn't only a game with next gen visuals, it was a game with "next gen" presentation, a modern, slick, easy to navigate interface. The way the presented statistics while loading was fantastic, and the transitions were too.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n9NWK4qPOgU
Grid continued this turned and provided another modern interface, although much more graphic too. Dirt 2 had a original take on the idea of a menu, and I did like it and found it excellent and original, but honeslty I'd take a normal menu any day of the week.
Dirt 3 is a mix of all their games so far, but it may be the worse to me. Seriously who comes up with ideas like pyramids appearing everywhere and triangles exploding all over the place? Also the fonts they've been using lately are atrocious imo. Dirt 2 was much worse though. Thankfully the menu audio is great and I like the loading transitions.
------------------------------/------------------------
I'm replaying Dirt 1 this weekend. To me the sequels don't offer the same rush. Rally stages are too easy and too wide, I don't feel any sense of danger. It's your fault Flashbacks. It was great rallying on the hardest difficuty where you REALLY had to push yourself to get to 1st place, on those narrow roads you just knew you couldn't screw it up or it'd be a restart, and yet you still had to floor it for 4 minutes. It was intense.

Nothing is stopping you as a player from NOT using the flashbacks. I for one only use them in Rally Cross when someone takes me out.

I'm getting used to it slowly over time but it's still my least favorite Dirt menu.Diablohead said:
