Colin McRae DIRT-CLONE

I’m proud to be able to say here is a quality PC game that will deliver an awsome gaming experince after a couple of weeks of mediocre offerings from other games. Colin McRea DiRT Is the latest game in the Colin McRea rally series, this time however it doesn’t just add better graphics etc to an old formula it redefines the series to include all sorts of off-road motorsports that add a whole lot more enjoyment to the game. Before DiRT the Colin McRae Rally series aimed at rally enthusiasts and didn’t offer a whole lot to someone wanting some fun outside of the games target market. Almost Everyone in Europe knows the Colin McRae series and i’m fairly certain that the game have been renamed over in the states because Colin is’nt as well known over there. The last Colin McRae rally game was 05, they missed 06 and now you can see why they did, to put more delvelopment time into DiRT which was a wise decision because it has paid off. What the developers did was to ditch the old Colin McRae style then borrowed elements from games like Toca Race Driver and put in the off-road aka “DiRT” theme. There are tonne of different types of off-road cars and races of which a few can be seen in the screenshots below. DiRT offers you the ability to actually race other cars instead of the time trial type races featured in older Colin McRea games which should be a big plus for most of you as its a more accessible type of gameplay, don’t fret if you like time trial races as these have been kept for you rally lovers.

I have played the Xbox 360 demo and it was superb brilliant graphics, top notch physics and a really good original menu system. The best part though is the great new damage modeling system, making it a lot more fun to crash into other cars and watching ‘em fall apart! As I’m sure you can gather from the screenies to be able to play this on a PC your going to need a rather beefy cutting edge PC, many of you including me will have either upgrade or get the Xbox 360 version to enjoy this masterpiece. Even if you PC meets the minimum requirements stated below dont expect it to look as it does in the pictures, this is a next gen game so it requires next gen hardware to look its best. As with most newly released games this is a CLONE meaning that it needs emulating tools to get it to run. Hopefully this game will be cracked soon, fingers crossed.

Also here’s a little something i noticed, it looks like this game has borrowed a little trend from The Scene in the form of not capitalising the i in the name DiRT. Even though i’m sure there’s other reasons for this it made me smile. One thing that does concern me though it about this release is the size of the ISO which is 4.73 GB, that if i remember correctly this will not fit onto a standard DVD-R which is a little annoying. This is a great and much needed update to a fledgling series and even if you don’t usually play racing games you should defiantly check this one out, you wont regret it.

Already set to deliver an exhilarating thrill ride through a massive variety of off-road racing experiences, DiRT’s new C.O.R.R. events see up to 10 drivers going head-to-head in fierce off-road circuit races. The combination powerful vehicles, including Super Buggies and Pro 4 Trucks, along with tracks packed full of tabletop jumps, drop-offs and moguls will make for an intoxicating mix of racing action and will test players’ driving skills to the limit.

In addition, gamers will be able to relive those intense and often breathtaking moments behind the wheel with stunning replays. DiRT’s replay system includes dynamic cameras that follow, capture and focus on the most exciting moments during each race, and for the first time in the series players are given full control over the replays action.

Features:

  • Real racing with real consequences. Stay in control or watch as your car dramatically crashes into a barrier and barrel-rolls, crushing every panel and spewing debris across the track.
  • A wide variety of off-road and rallying disciplines to experience: Rally, Hill Climb, Rally RAID, Rally Cross, the CORR desert series, and more.
  • Photorealistic tracks painstakingly recreated from real-world location photography and satellite data.
  • Incredibly detailed models of 46 licensed vehicles bring the action to life.
  • Online play that allows 100 players to compete against one another.

Minimum Requirements:

  • Windows XP
  • DirectX 9.0c
  • Pentium 4 @ 3.0GHz or Athlon 64 3000+
  • 1GB RAM.
  • Graphics Card: GeForce 6800 / Radeon X1300 or above
  • DirectX Compatible Sound Card
  • Shader Model 3 is a MINIMUM REQUIREMENT for this game

    Looks great, but probably plays like ass. I don’t buy the ‘redifined’ shit, I bet it’s still the gaphole of a game the other Colin McCree (who the f*ck is that loser anyway?) games where. And the screens are polished, not real game screens.

    Besides, racing games are for pimply little boys and no-life men (those who can affort a decent grapic card). I’ve got a freakin’ dirt-trail behind my house, so I can kick the dirt for REAL anytime I want! Why would I want to play a game like this? Why am I yelling?

    Jealeous bitches??? :P

    How about FEAR, Battlefield 2 or Crysis? All compatible with SM2 :)

    @Bram
    I would not say that they f**ked people who only has SM3.0.

    This game is so demanding performance-wise that if you have a card with enough horsepower to run it chances are that you have SM3.0 anyway.

    That’s no the case with FEAR or Battlefield. According to the developers of Crysis that game will scale very well (which this does not) to fit older machines.

    @Bram:

    Well tbh… You get a decent SM3-capable card for less then $100. So why not? If it makes it less buggy and release quicker, I don’t mind =D

  22. June 14th, 2007 | 00:30

    Sounds very good, though I’d rather get it from newsgroups.
    I meet the recommended very well (only cpu is alot faster).

    June 14th, 2007 | 00:36

    well i think its about time for me too, to upgrade my pc, been using X800 pro for a long time now, awesome card eventhough fuck old, runs every game so far, except shader 3.0 ones -.- it had a good run though.

  24. June 14th, 2007 | 00:43

    Yep had I had a x800 pro vivo flashed to XT and yea it was really good, but like you said it got old, not slow. It didn’t run certain games, and it was AGP :( . So yea I had to upgrade my whole system. I would’ve kept my old GPU if it was PCIex.

    For the guys who will have trouble running this game, you have to use the latest Y.A.S.U version 1.2.7060 and Daemon Tools 4.0.6.

    June 14th, 2007 | 05:11

    well i meet all the minimum requirements, but it runs really choppy even with all setting at lowest, and yes i have pixel shader 3. Looks like Ive got to start saving up for a new PC. Never ever would i buy an X-cocks or a pathetic-3.

  33. ScubaSteve
    June 14th, 2007 | 05:11

    @ Cavalo

    You’re right, it is cheaper to buy an Xbox 360 than buy a computer. It’s cheaper in the same way that if you just pull out all your own teeth you never have to pay the dentist to do it for you. Or the same way that it’s cheaper to eat out of the garbage. Or in the same that it’s cheaper to drink your own urine.

    Cheaper doesn’t always mean better, especially when we’re talking about video games; unless you’re talking free. Go pay to talk to your Live buddies about the specialness of your console, the free world pays no mind.

  34. Cavalo
    June 14th, 2007 | 05:52

    LOL.

    I have both a computer which does everything i want to do besides running this game smoothly and an Xbox360, so your analogy is void.

    I can afford to upgrade my computer so it runs this game, but i don’t need to.

    I don’t have any Live buddies, because i have real friends to socialize with in real life.

    Now please shut up and die.

    June 14th, 2007 | 07:31

    Well for all you guys whining bout not having the latest system, well i’ve had a P4 with Geforce 4 Ti4200 since 2002 and only could afford to upgrade last year! :) Whining about not playing the latest game is small change to the fact that pretty much for one and half years i’ve had to pass on new games or play them with very low detail. Ahh well, that’s what happens when you try and raise a family, old childhood priorities take a backseat! Cheers!

  42. June 14th, 2007 | 08:56

    Junk. Nifty graphics, but lousy gameplay. Again, devs concentrated on the looks but not the feels. This is a pass for me, since I’m more into sims, not arcades like Colin series. Shame, too.

    June 14th, 2007 | 11:06

    Funny the way they write the name of the game on the cover:DiRT. Like as if they were a release group… :) :) :)

  44. SJ
    June 14th, 2007 | 11:16

    morfar – In same boat as you, but we both need a bigger boat. Got the hardware requirements, Dual Core Athlon64 4200+ but have x800xl graphics card, only shader 2.0

    The reason why alot of games are using Shader 3.0 is because it is standard in the xbox 360. Ubi-soft are one of the companies who do not like to downgrade there games. Examples are Splinter Cell Double Agent and Rainbow Six Vegas. More and more are using shader 3 including Dirt and soon to be released Lost Planet by Capcom. This reminds me of the days of the 3DFX – for Quake II etc…

    One exception was Silent Hunter 4 probably because it was such a specialist game in the first place. It uses Shader 2.0 Then again, it is bugged to high heaven and not worth playing at the moment. Just my thoughts..

    Starforce? come on be creative

  46. June 14th, 2007 | 12:00

    This isn’t really as much next-gen and performance-demanding as an unoptimized pile of shit.

    I have an Athlon 64 3700+, 2GB RAM, 7600GT, and I only got it to wok on a playable framerate after turning the settings to low in the Demo. That is 640×480 as a resolution, and everything else as low as it could go.

    And you could go on about how my rig is old. But I’m not the only one saying it. Even people with uber-1337 rigs are only able to go up as far as 1024×768 and get it to play well.

    Lousy, lousy X360 port. I’ve seriously played games that looked just as great, and run hell-of-a-lot better.

  59. June 14th, 2007 | 18:54

    Yep it seems I said it too early.
    It does work sometimes, but doesn’t some other times it’s pretty wierd.
    Anyway I tried it and it ran really bad on high settings, when I had to restart after I put it lower it wouldn’t work anymore.
    It’s stupid though that it runs so badly, because specs are way better then the xbox360. (I’ve got slightly better then recommended).

  60. Funny bunny
    June 14th, 2007 | 21:03

    Well I have always had luck with ASUS far as Vista goes its known not to run to optimal with stuff that runs native for XP, which is why i never went the vista route, oh i expect to in a year or so but why now? for a pretty GUI? and a few vista only titles the rest is headaches.

    Yes the game will only work sometimes I tried it and it worked with YASU and without YASU, however this is not my type of game which GTR2 is but its a damn good Rally game.

    @Sage

    I hope you aren’t saying that C64 & Amiga sucks/sucked? I had a blast with those computers and the games. The graphics might not have been the best in some games but the gameplay and original ideas for games made up for it.

    you have to go for the SMALL file not the large one
    then set yasu like he said..only the top one and your done
    you got an mdf file (the large one) and you got the mds file

    Starforce needs to get fucked once again.

    I have slightly under the recommended specs.

    Opty170,2gb,79GT256MB stock ect.

    winXP SP2 PRO and latest drivers.

    Anyone with a similar rig have any luck with this full game ?

    If so at wat settings ?

  71. June 15th, 2007 | 13:46

    Hey guys, i have the Geforce 7600GS (AGP)with Pixelshader 3.0!
    Is it works on my System?

    June 15th, 2007 | 13:51

    Yes it will work,probably at minimum graphics.

    Anyway does anyone find it ironic that this game is DX9 only but recommends a DX10 card ? …………. priceless !

    Anyway, anyone with a 79 series videocard, how does this game run for you ?

    At what settings ?

    PLEASE TELL ME !

  73. June 15th, 2007 | 14:11

  74. Funny bunny
    June 15th, 2007 | 14:51

    PPl still dont realize how powerful a 8800 card is, esp if you dont have one. This this is at least as Twice as powerful as 79 cards. And thats without DX 10. So if a app says you need a 8800 card than theres no way you gonna play it with a 79 card at the same level. if at all.

    I still have my 7 series card but after seeing what a 8800 can do its like a 7 series card in SLI mode.

    And the image quality is quite better on a 8800. btw I have this game running at full graphics everything pinned and im getting like 40FPS to 60FPS with this 8800 card. have a nice day.

    Too bad the 8800 series have problems with so many games thanks to crap drivers. By the time these are sorted out, the 9800’s will be out, and by then there may actually be more than a couple of games that use directx 10. I tend to always skip a generation, by the time that games come out that really I can’t play with my 7900GT, I can skip straight to the 9800’s which will probably be double the speed of the 8800’s. Not having a great monitor, I don’t need to play at 2600 x 1800 or whatever, so there really is no point for the extra horsepower yet. Never understood the fanatics that spend so much each year just to get extra FPS from a game when really, you don’t notice for the most part anyway.

    hi why do you speak about yasu ,with a starforce problem.
    i thought yasu was only for securom and safedisc protection.
    can someone explain us?

    June 15th, 2007 | 20:08

    Without digging down to the core of protection technology: The only purpose of YASU tool is hiding your virtual CD/DVD drives from detecting by StarForce. As result – StarSorce accepts virtual drive as real one and allows to start the game. In case your virtual drives aint hidden – you will always get “Wrong disk inserted” protection error.

    I passed the protection, i’ve put the image on my ext.HDD en mount the image. Worked for me so maybe a solution for others to do.
    Btw runs smooth on my conroe6600, 8800GTX , 1680×1050 with everything on max.

    i am looking for a crack too.

    When i am unshaped from 64kbps ill download the game anyway.

    This seems to be a good “Clone”

    about 300seeds/4000leechers

    http://torrentspy.com/torrent/1245973/Colin_McRae_DIRT_CLONE

    I am under the same name there too.

    I will try using latest YASU and DT.

    I think my 79GT will run the full game better then the demo.

    because i used to get near 20fps @ low shadows, no aa and everything else max at 1280×960.

    Then the demo stuffed itself and i found myself getting 8-10fps with the exact same settings, stupid buggy demo ! :@

    Anyway, is the full game buggy ?

    I dont have $400AU to spend on a 88GTS thats just gonna be outdated in a couple of months !

    I am going to wait until 2008 and get Vista SP1, Mid/high end Quad Core,4GB ram and a 9800GTS.

    Ohh and a PS3 at the end of this year just to play GTA:IV :D

    June 15th, 2007 | 23:30

    Getting it to work all the time:

    Seriously, this took a lot of playing around but I discovered that if you just have the disc image on the same drive as the game, it tends to work (Daemon tools with Securom selected, probably YASU with the same). I copied the image into the game directory, though that shouldn’t make a difference.

    Whilst it looked good for the three seconds I played before crying myself to sleep, it’s not as revolutionary as CMR2.0 was.
    (7950 GT, Maximum settings at 1440×900 for people looking for spec compare.)

    Worked fine for me without yasu, just the latest Daemon 4.09HE with all emulation options on (I have to make sure there is no CD/DVD in my physical drive). I mounted game using the .mds file, if that makes a difference. Just dl’d and updated to 1.1, that worked fine as well.

    Running on e6300 @ 2.0Ghz, 2 GB ram, 7800GT (slightly overclocked) on an Asrock 775Dual-VSTA board. 1360×768 (native res of monitor) and most options turned to low or medium I average 35-45 fps (max is 50-60, min is 15-20). Runs a bit better than the demo.

    I also tried the demo on an A64 X2 4400+, same ram as mine, running a 7900GTX, and it ran bad (10-15 fps on the buggy race). Gonna try this version and see if it’s any better.

    You know, it actually allows you to go online with it… multiplayer works, not sure if it’s a good idea though…

    activate only securom

    Well Codemasters have released a 1.1 patch.

    I am going to wait until there is a NO-CD for this game and all the performace issues are fixed.

    As for the rest of you who are having issues, i suggest you try different images mounted with the latest Daemon Tools/YASU.

    I will download this game when there is a Crack/NOCD or protection remover.

    Ill tell you guys if there is a NO-CD or workaround as soon as.

    I will download the game in a couple of days !

Past Disk check often (2 try). Also, maybe, you needed to download sptd 1.49. Here – http://www.daemon-tools.cc/dtcc/announcements-f13.html

    June 18th, 2007 | 06:16

    OK I figured out what the issue mainly is for you people having probloms with the Disk check. Iv done everything, But what finaly got it to work was.#1. installed game with deamon tools all options on. ON a TOTALY DIFFRENT DRIVE. then the IMAGE. not just partition, TOTALY diffrent. For some of thoes who dont have that ability, Try a partition. if not. hopefully you can get around that . i used the 40kb MDS name it all DIRT. newest everything and installed them the way the websites ask you to install them. like having all programs closed stuff like that. the main thing was installing the image to a totaly diffrent drive. then it worked perfect. Turn the shadows off. turn all the settings on low. and the multy sampling up. and 800×600. and most any system can run that SMOOTH playable with some graphics.

  132. ut2k4wikichici
    June 18th, 2007 | 06:19

    Okay ill try that.

    As for settings ill go 1280×960 high shadows no aa and everything else max.

    Then i will tweak accordingly.

  133. June 18th, 2007 | 06:26

    This torrent must be fake Ive read everything around there is to run and nothing get me past the cd check emulation software detected
    this is why i think its fake First I probably costs millions to make this game why not spend 20000 and have you employees set up a fake torrent that resembles a real game with loader and all and no real game data the game is no matter what you do there is no game just a CD check then go around to all the torrent sites of course regeristing months in advance not to arouse suspicion and make comments and give suggestion and links on how to get the game working and all that. think about it this was the slowest 2 and a half days ive spent downloading 25KB avg on cabl then to read oh its so easy to get working so you try everthing to get it to work nothing the day this came out rlslog got blacklisted by my isp or something so i half to proxy to get hear what a good way to slow piracy you get so pissed you go out and by the game. Of course I not I’m waiting till the game is realised and in about a week or too the real proper and crack will be out I’m mean is this out of the realm of possibilities “operation Colin McRae DIRT pre launch piracy discourage and go out and purchase cauz you want it”"

I was also able to use the latest 1.1 patch – which did help performance a little bit too. Only the rallies are nicely playable for me though. Any track with a few cars still runs like *&^#.

  141. June 18th, 2007 | 17:28

    Smith:

    Are you stupid? its not fake, read all the damn comments.

    The problem is with the vicious Starforce protection on this and the fact that a crack hasn’t been released yet.

    Let me make this simple for you..
    The game has protection
    SOME PEOPLE CAN GET AROUND IT AND ARE PLAYING THE GAME
    Some people can’t
    It works for some and not for others because there are so many variables when it comes to DT, YASU, emulations, etc.

    Personally I have given up on DT, so I am just gonna wait for the crack

    Hi all,
    running on Vista 32, tried everything but i can’t make the game work.
    I get passed the disk checking, but then when i get the grey loading logo on center of my desktop saying “colin mcrae DIRT”, windows displays an error message saying the program stopped running…
    I’ve got SPTD 1.49, tried with YASU, with and without patch 1.1…
    Don’t know what next move to make, plz help !

    i’ve tried the demo and i get the same crash !
    Seen a forum on codemaster’s site with hundreds of people having same issue.
    I’m above minimum specs (A64 3400+, X1900GT, Terratec Aureon 5.1, Nforce4), I have the latest drivers for all my hardware…

    My PC runs great, no problems with any other software…

    My guess : codemasters coded this with their fingers in their ass…

    stalker, if it is asking for a serial it hasn’t worked, it does this once the protection has kicked in

  158. Stalk3r
    June 19th, 2007 | 23:14

    so the game won’t work? how come? splinter cell 3 or world racing 2 use starforce…they ask for serial and still i could make them running…this one i need serial

  159. BaB
    June 19th, 2007 | 23:17

    stalker, try following Tonys advice above, it worked for me and I had been banging my head off the desk for days before that, I did not need yasu when I followed his advice.

    I’ve read lots online about getting this to work and have seen no serial numbers. Everybody who has it working has it working via DT.
    Just don’t want you wasting your time man :)

  160. Stalk3r
    June 19th, 2007 | 23:42

    thx for the advice Bab…i apreciate it.but one question i have bro : if now it’s asking for serial?can i reinstall the game and follow tony steps Step 2 : Mount image
    Step 3 : Install game
    Step 4 : Install drivers when it prompts you
    Step 5 : Reboot
    step 6 :cloak with yasa tools
    step 7 :Step 6 : Play the game
    You dont need a exe crack

    and will it ask for a serial again if i do like that? thx very much

  161. BaB
    June 19th, 2007 | 23:50

    yeah you can, you don’t need to reinstall, you just need to make sure you have the latest DT and SPTD installed, then mount your image and play, I didn’t need yasa.
    Just make sure there has been a reboot after installing the games protection drivers (it tells you it needs to install them to run the game the first time you try and run it if you remember).

    It is the SPTD that is important, there is a version that comes with DT but it is not the latest version.

    I mounted the image and installed, then I tried everything I could but it wouldn’t work, then I did the following :

    I removed DT from my machine, then I installed SPTD, then DT, then mounted the image, then ran the game.
    I didn’t reinstall the game inbetween any of the steps.

    Hope that helps man and hey, no problem, happy to help.

  162. June 19th, 2007 | 23:54

    Ive up graded everything yasu sptd ive used like 3 different mds files
    and it say emulation software detected ive read that Microsoft and starforce have partnered up

    so for the people that have xp sp2 and go it working have you kept up with the Microsoft updates or not i think for us that is the problem the automatic updates have spy programs that check for vitural drive programs and such so id bet that after a fresh install of xp sp2 and no updates it will work cauz it makes no sense that it works for some and doesn’t for others if this works we should try the micrsoft updates and narrow down wich one it is probity the gdi detection or genuine advantage up date

  163. BaB
    June 19th, 2007 | 23:57

    stumped, sp2 here, no updates.

    try uninstalling DT and installing the latest sptd before you install the latest DT, if that doesn’t work you may have a point there.

    June 20th, 2007 | 01:24

    @ Stalk3r : I’ve already tried to use this crack from eMule. The archive (Colin McRae Dirt NOCD NODVD Crack.rar) is composed of a 9.38 mb .exe named “DiRT”. It seemed to be a real crack but when I extracted it in the game directory, Kaspersky detected it as a virus or a trojan, I don’t remember. Too bad…
    I think we just have to wait for a real crack from a well-kwown group to make sure that’s not sh*t.
    I downloaded almost all the cracks available on eMule but they were all fakes.

    Sorry for my English mistakes, I’m French.

  168. Toutatis
    June 20th, 2007 | 01:49

    I’ve just downloaded again the archive in order to check what sort of sh*it the .exe is.
    In fact it’s a trojan.
    The uploader even tried to reproduce the icon of the true exe.

    Just take a look at this poor work :

    Don’t know what next move to make, plz help !OK MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE LASTEST VERSION OF YASA TOOLS V1.2B.7060 and lastest dameon tools v4.09HE.I actually used a older version of dameon tools first to mount install game v4.08,then remounted with with 4.09HE then installed sptd 1.49 then cloaked with yasa to hide drives it game worked.By the way it will take a few minutes for protection check so dont panic.Game ran very well on my amd 4600 dual core 8800gts 320 meg card pc, i totalled the car lol.

    GUYS!! im certain now, its a RAID harddrive setup issue, basically doesnt work if your HDD is setup with RAID0.

    Ill be playing the game when it is cracked :D

    All that I did on the other computers was removed DT, Install SPTD (latest version), reinstall DT (latest version), mount image, install game, install protection drivers, reboot PC, play game.

    All PCs are xp pro sp2, two of them have no updates from MS, one of them is fully updated, non of these computers are running a raid.

    For those who are waiting a crack for this game i can tell you there isnt going to be a crack becouse all starforce games dont have cracks (only starforce 1 and 2 maybe have cracks) I was waiting 1 year for a crack to come out for 2 of my games with starforce but they didnt. And why are there many ways to make this game work and they dont work.

  187. ut2k4wikichici
    June 21st, 2007 | 22:30

    Thats a shame SF cant be cracked.

    Hopefully a program will come out that will allow the CLONE to work for more people.

    I have the 50kb DIRT file with a mini image in it.

    I am downloading the Clone for Torrentspy right now.

    Only been going for 1/2 hour and speeds are about 30-40kb/s so it should be done soon.

    Anyway i just formated so i recon i should be able to get it to work :D

    I will try the steps people suggested.

    With the latest YASU and Daemon tools ofcourse.

  188. ut2k4wikichici
    June 21st, 2007 | 22:43

    I was wondering.

    Is it possible to put this game on a 8.5GB TDK DVD+R Single sided disc ?

    Because i need to back this game up.

    Would it install okay ?

    Say if i burned it with Nero or something ?

    Thankyou.

  189. Toutatis
    June 22nd, 2007 | 05:04

    After one week of tests and failures, I finally managed to launch the game.
    I had downloaded the TensionTorrent.com version (the very first one uploaded on Mininova.org) which seems to be a CLONE version because it’s also 4.73 Go, in spite of the fact that the word “CLONE” isn’t included in the title of the torrent.
    Consequently I tested all the methods quoted in the previous comments and also other tricks : nothing worked…

    Here’s the method I used. This latter worked perfectly for me, and should be 100% ok for everybody according to the NFO of the release :

    1. Uninstall completely DiRT, Daemon Tools and SPTD.
    2. Download the PROPER version of iTWINS here: http:// http://www.mininova.org/tor/755197 (also available on rlslog.net).
    3. Install SPTD v1.49.
    4. Reboot your computer.
    5. Install Daemon Tools 4.0.9HE.
    6. Turn SecuRom option “ON” in Daemon Tools > Emulation.
    7. Mount the MDS (be carefull to put the MDF and the MDS in the same directory) with Daemon Tools.
    8. Install DiRT.
    9. Play DiRT.

    The CLONE release has apparently many problems with the emulation of the protection (StarForce).

    Just take a loot at the NFO of the PROPER/iTWINS release :

    ” Looks like the first Colin McRae DiRT rls wasn’t
    properly working. In fact game start resulted to
    be pretty often faulty. Some tests showed this was
    caused by a wrongly made dpm that couldn’t emulate
    the protection in the right way. So here’s a 100%
    working rls. You won’t experience same issues as the
    previous rls. Njoy and have fun! ”

    I specify for those who would be interested that my computer is running under Windows Vista Ultimate (I think it doesn’t matter but I try to be as precise as possible. )

    For all those who have problems as I had : test this and keep me informed.

    PS: Once again, sorry for the possible mistakes, I am not perfectly bilingual yet ;) .

    Cordially, Toutatis.

  190. Toutatis
    June 22nd, 2007 | 05:21

    I have just updated the game to the 1.1 version without any problem.
    The game still works perfectly.

  191. ut2k4wikichici
    June 22nd, 2007 | 08:39

    Aww great now you tell me :@

    Well i have already 18% of the Clone version.

    I might as well keep going.

    If it does not work ill just forget about the game, simple, it probably would run like crap anyway.

    Besides, i think the reason it is not working %100 is not because of the actual files or whatever but idiots not getting the latest YASU,Daemon Tools and STPD !

    But yeah, i am running XP SP2 that is a completely new install and i will put on latest DT,Yasu and STPD when my version on DiRT completes.

    Thanks for the heads up, but i for one will just get this clone version, it seems to work for alot of people now !

    That is if they follow the instructions and get the latest DT,YASU AND STPD !

    The images look great, but are they the same in game?
    A good example of images vs ingame is : You are Empty
    Images looked jaw dropping and in game looked like a Quake 3.
    BUT Still the game had a spooky effect which kept me going on.

    Back to this, Why do you people download NON cracked verssions?
    Why you fuck up your PC’s? DIsable IDE/PATA Disable this,
    disable that… Then BOOM PC f*cked up! For What?! A game? Do
    me a faivor *-_-…

    My Rig is:
    AMD 64Bit 3000+ / 1 Gb DDR 400 / 7800GTX.
    Will have to upgrade the mem to 2 Gb’s or 4 Gb’s.
    Will have to upgrade the CPU to FX-60 / X2 5000+.
    Games like Prey / S.T.A.L.K.E.R. played smooth on 1024*768.
    So this should go well too.

    The 8800 Ultra is good in DX-9 games under XP but CRAP under
    ViSTA and a DX-9 game, CRAP with a DX-10 game too.

    So for now I have a GOOD DX-9 VC and when the second gen of
    DX-10 cards will be out, then I’ll upgrade, now, no point in
    it :)

    There’s no problem with installing the game or patch.
    It goes nicely through the disc protection, but immediately after that there comes dirt.exe windows error thing. I’ve tried YASU, DT with sptd 1.49. It won’t work for me. I think it may cause from old graphic card drivers. (I haven’t installed new ones because I have probs with some games then.)
    It could be too that the game doesn’t support my old gfx, it’s r9600 pro :)

    I’ll try to install it again one more time.

    When your CPU lacks SSE2, you can’t play the game….This is the problem with Athlon XP cpu’s…..rediculous.

    I have a big problem running this game
    the Intro, menu and the game stutters
    {has moments of clarity}

    system details :
    nForce4 SLI X16 MCP
    Pentium D 3.0GHz
    2gb DDR2 PC2-6400 crucial dominator 800mhz
    XFX 8800 ultra xxx
    Sound Blaster X-Fi Sound Card
    Win XP and all updates Evan tried directx 9.0c fix jun2007
    Evan tried nvidia`s latest beta driver 162.18 before{158.22}

    all my other games {Stalker,GTR2,Armed Assault,GRAW2} run fine {sure I have to play with the settings}
    but they run at a good frame rate, Dirt just stutters under any settings???????

    Anyone still having problems and blaiming RAID sorry to say its not RAID because I use RAID 0 setup and it works fine.

    Anyone getting corrupt saves, most people have the problem because their net connection isn’t on or have blocked the game for net access, not sure why its like this.
