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.

Where’s the torrent?
WOW FUCKING HELL LOOK AT THOSE FUCKING SWEET GRAPHICS WHAT THE FUCK THAT’S FUCKING CRAZY, FUCKED UP REALITY!!!
The NFO says:
Shader Model 3 is a MINIMUM REQUIREMENT for this game.
Us SM2 users are f*ck*d again …
Looks great, pity my PC is about half of the minimum requirements – maybe next year.
xbox360 version rox
Been playing the pc demo via hdout on my pc to my tv and speaker system… excellent game!
this game rocks!!! I’ve never liked colin but this games’ demo got me pinned to my rig for a long time !!
@Bram if games evolve so your computer has to , we dont want any ugly looking games coming out , so go play colin macrae 2005 HF
“Shader Model 3 is a MINIMUM REQUIREMENT for this game”
*cries*
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???
@me:
How about FEAR, Battlefield 2 or Crysis? All compatible with SM2
it will run on my computer NOO PROBLEM
thats why you should upgrate ur pc every 3 to 4 years
how do u kno wat shader model u r?
@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.
I just bought Sapphire X1950 pro 512mb , great card – low price
waitin’ 4 DL 2 finish
great game, played the demo and it was great. i dont have a good computer either, 2.5 ghz, 512 mb, radeon x1300 so it kinda runs decent on lowest settings but still, very fun.
Great release, thnx to Clone..
the graphics are very nice with an X1950XTX 512mb

I think I might just be able to play this game with a bit of luck!
I still dont get what a shader model is and what one i am???
Sounds very good, though I’d rather get it from newsgroups.
I meet the recommended very well (only cpu is alot faster).
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.
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.
Find the YASU here : http://gamedata.box.sk/leech.php?id=extra&f=YASU_1-2b-7060.zip
Find Daemon Tools here: http://download.vnunet.it/download/hard%20disk%20cd%20rom%20dvd/daemon+tools/_1147.html
The latest version of Daemon Tools is 4.09. Download both Y.A.S.U. and Daemon Tools from their original website http://www.daemon-tools.cc
What you say it’s true, but i saw that some people used that versions of the program and it worked … now it’s up to you to choose what to use….
The ISO file is almost 8GB !!!! WOW
The ISO file is almost 8GB!!! WOW
Getting an Xbox360 is a lot cheaper and easier than upgrading your PC really.
and what about the installed game ? 12.5gb ? my god
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.
@ 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.
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.
haha wow calm down son
hes only speaking from his heart
a pc is for nerds an xbox is for nerds we all the same
consoles suck
and yes i have had.. NES, SNES, N64, Master System, Megadrive. Dreamcast, Ps1, Ps2, Xbox..
ill never buy a ps3 or xbox 360.. PC is always in front.. you cant beat games for hardware thats forever evolving
oh yea.. and C64 & Amiga 500 & Atari.. fuk ive played a lot of games
@QuadrupelQ:
Wrong! these screenshots are from the real game, not polished, not rendered. I’ve played the demo and it looked about the same as on screenshots
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!
The third and the fifth screens are polished, the rest aren’t. Come on people.
this as got the shity starforce protection,what fucks with your pc.
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.
Funny the way they write the name of the game on the cover:DiRT. Like as if they were a release group…
Starforce? come on be creative
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.
Omg I love this game rhanks very much !
INSANE STUFF ^^
Well im about to try it and it better run on my rig. 8800 GTS
E6600 2 gig ram I will let you all know how it runs
Confirmed. Next gen port that does not scale well. If you have system, enjoy.
I downloaded it, unzipped it, installed it then it tells ya you need to install the protection drivers, done that, got daemon tools latest version and YASU 107 and it still cant get past the disc check? what im i doing wrong?
Well I have tried it with every graphic option maxed and at 1280×1024 game runs like butter, no slow downs no glitches.
Runs just as fast as TOCA 3
My System: Custom Built
Asus P5N32 Premium SLI
BFG 8800GTS 640meg
2 gig PC5300
Intel E6600 clocked to 2.93
Audigy 1 SoundCard
Same with me EVO.
Ok it works now. I turned off Securom and Safedisc Intelligent cloaking, and only did “SafeDisc 4.x Cloaking.
(((I downloaded it, unzipped it, installed it then it tells ya you need to install the protection drivers, done that, got daemon tools latest version and YASU 107 and it still cant get past the disc check? what im i doing wrong?)))
I have done exactly same thing and still not working.
Dont know what im doing wrong!!!
All the help are welcome.
Thanks.
@Funny Bunny: i have the same config, except for the mobo. But here the demo is running like shit. I’m using vista btw.
I have 2.5G celeron, 1GB ram and 7800GS AGP, would I be able to play this ? I only get 20fps with Bus Driver at 1440×900
Me too, still not working!
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).
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.
guy’s use alcohol 52%
the game works on that one.
sometimes it gives an error but just let the game recheck the cd and than it works
cant get it to work with newest daemon, newest YASU or anything!
even tried alcohol 120%, nothing works…if anyone has got it to work a thorough tutorial would be much appreciated!
use latest daemon 4.09
image the cmdirt.mds
turn on securom in daemontool
oh yea if that doesn’t work
try using the autorun to start game
i dont get it eather..
got the latest yasu and deamon versions.. what do i have to enable and what do i have to disable..
are you guys seriously playing..?
it keeps saying.. disc verification failed…
damn starforce crap
I am with you Mike,damn starforce crap.
IVE GOT IT TO WORK!!
its like how iNCQRiT says..he only forgets one thing
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
(you guess)
goodluck..
Well i would download this, when it gets cracked.
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 ?
Hey guys, i have the Geforce 7600GS (AGP)with Pixelshader 3.0!
Is it works on my System?
Xp 2600+@3000, 1,25gb Ram, Asus A7v8x-x, Creative SB Live 5.1, Windows Xp Sp2 ???
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 !
-DAEMONTOOLS and YASU (newest) downloaden
-Image with Deamontools mounten (all options on)
-YASU all options on
-cloaking divice parameters
-start game
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.
looks nice, I am going to wait for a cracked version like Razor1911, RELOADED, ViTALiTY, HATRED, etc.
hi
game just doesnt work … seems to get passed the protection , but doesnt start … dirt.exe is running in my taskmanager ….
any ideas ???
thx
Im downloaded the clone razor or vitality will come up with a crack exe. or a mini image to mount the game.
Hi tony
could you post the link for the crack
thx
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?
@+
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.
Could some one please tell us how to get passed the SF protection program….thanks!
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 didnt have a crack yet meme but im looking for one now for you guys
it seems that people got it to work just using yasa tools and dameon tools in the forum i visted, ill still look for a crack exe though.
the very latest version of YASU which is Y.A.S.U v1.2.7060. It was only released on the 12th of this month try gameburnworld or gamecopyworld.
http://cdmediaworld.com/ might be better as the other 2 sites only have older version sorry, the other 2 sites however are good for mini images and crach exes.
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.)
Nicaan
You know, it actually allows you to go online with it… multiplayer works, not sure if it’s a good idea though…
Somehow it now stopped working for me, after playing two days the starforce crap seems to kick in lol. Probably just needs a reboot..
damn is their a 9800 gts out now im running evga 8800 gts 320 meg amd 4600 939 dual core, cant wait ti try game out nearly finshed downloading.
Running on e6400, 2Gb ram with 7900GS at 1024×768. It’s pretty smooth…
Daemon Tools 4.0.6.o im using 409E and game wont mount ok ill try that version then
ok i used dameon 4.08 which mounted game ok and installed but when the protection starts the checking freezes half though strange ill wait for a crack.
Fucking heavy game. 20fps @ ultra with e6600 / 2 gig / 8800GTS
:’(

Go to device manager and disable the IDE channel for your cd/dvd drives
Mount mcrae:dirt MDS with daemon tools v4.09he
Play the game:)
Turn HDR off: Looks sharper and boosts your framerate
http://community.codemasters.com/forum/showthread.php?p=2710029
indeed the game is a bitch top run on vista 64 i still havent managed to do it yet and im a bit of a computer savvy ive tried everything and the conclusion ive come too is vista 64 and starforce, some people are lucky and maange to get it to work on vista 64 but its rare i think most of the people that have managed to get it to work are on either xp 32 (and 64) and vista 32 and rare cases on vista 64 im one of the ones that it wont work on vista 64
i guess ill be twiddling my thumbs until a nodcd crack comes out or my shop gets its next stock in but i really would like to try it b4 i buy it.
Anyone knows how to run this game in window mode ? I’ve added suffix “-windowed” to the game’s shortcut but it doesn’t work…
hi all. any athlonXP 2600+ – 2800+ users can confirm that DIRT is working with those CPUs? cause i heard that DIRT only works on SSE2+ CPUs. pls help
Ozzy what problems are you having ?
Also, is the game playable with a 79GT at 1680×1050 with Shadows at high ?
ut2k4wikichici , i couldnt open DIRT demo with my system xp2800+ 2gig x1600pro . i read that DIRT only works with SSE2+ set CPUs. Thats why i am asking if any xp2600+,2800+ users able to play DIRT. dont think 79gt can handle max setting at game. 8800gts gives 25 30 fps at max options… think
Download MDS file (cmrdirt.mds or colin mcrae dirt.mds, nevermind) with emule (emule – program), Rename your .mds file in your .mdf file (if your .mdf file named cmrdirt.mdf then you need to rename your mds file like cmrdirt.mds), mount your renamed .mds file in Daemon toolse 4.09, play. 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
Have fun.
Hi!
so I am gonna write you what i ve done:
I ve tried everything, I read all torrent sites with instructions how make it, but nothing helps me
1. Start download Dirt torrent
2. Download and install SPTDinst-v149-x86
3. Then I download and install Deamon Tools manager V4.09HE
4. Install the game by deamon tools and install the patch 1.1
5. I ve turn all options off (red deamon icon) and unmount all images(i got only one drive)
6. Then I restart PC
7. I start deamon tools and turn all options on (green deamon icon)
8. Then I mount my .mds file ( I tried my orig .mds file 70 KB and 40 KB mds too. I also rename it on same name DIRT.mdf and DIRT.mds)
9. I go on image and run autorun and push the button “play”
10. I tried it for one, two, three and more times but it still made me error: Attempt of using emulation software has been detected…
If I do something wrong please help me, thx
P.S. I renamed .mdf and .mds before the installation of the game…
Try using Yasu, last version and try to switch all emulations by on to off for couple of times. My mds – 71.8kb. All options on in DT. I can run game without yasu actually, well, i can run game with 2 try. My mdf file from this torrent relise. Works fine.
Well, the source of the game does not really matter running the game. I tried the same MDF file with a couple of different systems and one is working while the other isn’t. Exactly same DT configuration! I tried alcohol 120%, yasu, sd4hide and all different program but I haven’t been able to run it on the first computer.
German Colin McRae: Dirt Community at http://mcrae.racegear.net/index.php
Joun, still not working
Maybe need to reinstall StarForce drivers…
Working with John’s DIRT.zip (Post #118)
Some details :
- No YAZU (neither activated, nor even installed)
- Daemon Tools v 4.09HE
- All options OFF in DT
- Image on external HD drive
- Starforce drivers installed as asked upon first launch
- Didn’t work at first with original .mds and DT options on
Graphics-wise :
Working fine all medium options no AA, 1280×1024 on C2D E4300 @ 2.7 Ghz, x1950pro 512 MB AGP, 2GB RAM DDR400, Asrock Conroe 865pe
Will try to push options and some AA.
Enjoy guys
what you mean external HD drive?
I have the genuine version, and i can’t run it. Comes up saying i’m using emulation sfotware. disable emulation software, insert the original and press retry.
Havnt got around it yet. should have just got a copy.
i’m using vista 64.
Nice game but you will need a powerfull pc. Just works for me when installed deamon tools 4.09, no yasu needed.
Thanks.
here not works, winxp sp2 with deamon tools 4.09HE all options on or of and nothing. my Pc p5b deluxe core2 6400 7900GT. anyone play this game with similar configuration?
For the people who cannot run the game…………
You will probably have to wait for a v1.1 crack.
Ozzy.
I think you need a new computer
I have too downloaded John`s Dirt.zip
AVG scanned it no viruses and when i download the game i will tell you how i go.
Only 3 days till i am unshaped on Australia`s fraudband !
Wish me luck.
Got it working with modest settings on my 3000+ 6600GT rig.
No Yasu, sd4hide or anything. Just updated daemon tools.
Didn’t work at first, had the protection software check the disc again and it worked and has worked ever since.
Well, my 8800 GTX 768 MB 600 Mhz card with my quad core processor can chew through this easily. Now I just need to get the game working…Stupid Russians! YASU and Daemon Tools dont do sh*t…
Hi, any of you have this problem? it hangs all over the menu, in diferent points. when i can go to the race it run perfect, but in the menu the program stop responding randomly
Any help?
i need help, i got through the disc checking part, but then i got an error with DIRT.exe. im using the latest version of DT.
Noob and mxd-52 and any others that have having trouble aftre disc check goes through.
Get the latest 1.1 patch.
It fixes most of those issues.
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.
Okay ill try that.
As for settings ill go 1280×960 high shadows no aa and everything else max.
Then i will tweak accordingly.
where can i find the latest patch? plz help, thanks
nvm got it, thanks
It’s def not fake for me, this torrent. Works great! I just had to use latest Daemon tools 4.091 with securom enabled, but your mileage may vary. 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 *&^#.
-Install
-install prot drivers
-restart
-mount the smaller file with DAEMON Tools 4.09
-all emulations are OFF (red icon)
-and run…try more than 1 time!
HELP!!! i dont find crack!
Looking forward to a No-DVD crack.. Hate having the DVD in my drive, all the time (only have one).
My System is:
Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 (current) @ 2.8 GHz
8800 GTX – Core @ 660 MHz, Memory @ 2100 MHz, Shader @ 1500 MHz
So im good..
To: Darth Stevo
Take it easy vith the Russians. We are not stupid. Its just StarForce was created by us.
BTW, run game in Safe mode first…
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
I have the patch installed and the menu always hangs in diferent parts. i try with and without the patch and always do the same. Stupid next gen of crash games.
I have nvidia last drivers, 8800gts, win xp sp2
Any of yoyu have the same problem?
hello, just want to say that the game works perfectly!!
i used D-Tools 4.09 or something, the latest.
and then i mounted the .mds file and it works just fine! i dont mount it from a external drive, just my c:\
works without YASU, i use only the !latest! Daemon Tools.
Happy racing!!!!!
Please somebody post when there is a NO DISC crack please.
check here time to time…

I tried everything to get it to work, with no luck. Then i had an idea….
Since i was using a RAID0 setup. I installed XP on a IDE Setup on the same system and it works 110%.
I then installed XP on the same system on a RAID0 setup, and it didnt work.
So it seems to be a RAID issue. At least for me.
yes i have raid too and don´t works here.
Finally got game to work Step 1 : Install DT 4.09HE and update to sptd 1.47.
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 you install a 1.1 patch?
can ANYONE give me the serial plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz,i need DiRT serial key
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 !
@Ayagizmo… sounds like a Driver problem to me
3 hours walking around and still nothing…
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…
Wooooo, it worked, Tony.
>>> “Finally got game to work Step 1 : Install DT 4.09HE and update to sptd 1.47.

(repost, messed up posting, sorry)
Wooooo, it worked, Tony.

ANYONE KNOW DiRT SERIAL???i need the serial… starforce protection is asking for it.PLZZZ
stalker, if it is asking for a serial it hasn’t worked, it does this once the protection has kicked in
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
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
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
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.
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
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.
BaB (who obviously needs to get out more)
OH ya and if you want toca race driver 3 is a fun game with off road type racing in it and its cracked
thx BaB.thx a lot.as soon as i’l make the game work.i’l post in here the results
oh…i found a crack for DiRT about two hours ago on eMULE. it’s got 9.6mb…i don’t have the game at home right now,a friend it’s gonna bring it to me tommorow.i can’t wait to see if this crack it’s working.i hope it’s not the exe from the demo.i’l post tommorow the results
@ 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.
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 :
http://img159.imageshack.us/img159/7395/dirtud3.jpg
I factory restored my computer no up dates just what it came with downloaded all video and sound drivers dt and sptd did everything correctly and still says emulation software detected so it has nothing to do with any microsoft up dates prehaps a conflict cd burning softwere has anybody got this working by unpluging the ide cables for cd/dvd drives also is it nessary to use yasu some say yes some say no and if its on emule and not burn/copy world duhh
And you install a 1.1 patch? well be careful if you install patches to protected games i did that with command and conquer and couldnt get passed protection,not sure it thats in a lot of games so i rarely install the patches i hope you guys got this game running after i left my help for you .
can ANYONE give me the serial plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz,i need DiRT serial key YOU DONT NEED A SERIAL OR A KEY I DIDNT NEED ONE OK.
To this call for help 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 !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.
i found this so far for those who have got the game woring like me http://www.gameburnworld.com/dl/dl.php?file=ColinMcRaeDiRTNoIntroFixAll.rar
Not sure what was wrong with the intro so why this fix my intro was awesome lol.
Raga mi dispiace ma è finita!!!!!!! nn si può craccare questo gioco perchè ha una protezione che nn si può craccare, questa protezione è la star force questa protezione è presente anche in virtual skipper 4 e vi assicuro che nn si può craccare!!!!
se qualcuno ci dovesse riuscire lo scriva qui. buona fortuna a tutti!!! good luck!!!
Tony your method doesn’t work for me
There is still no sure way to make this game work
GUYS!! im certain now, its a RAID harddrive setup issue, basically doesnt work if your HDD is setup with RAID0.
Works on normal IDE HDD setup.
Ive tested it a few times on the same system between the 2 setups.
you’re right Toutatis…damn it doesn’t work
Well i might wait until this game is cracked.
I dont want a 8GB useless game sitting on my HDD.
I DO NOT to just rely on YASU and DT.
Ill be playing the game when it is cracked
I cant get past the emulation software does and body know if this can be edited and burn on a standered dvd or dual lay but will it work if burned or im i wasting my time
I think Grimreeaper is right. I have a RAID0 setup and can’t get the game to launch at all. Seen a few people in other forums with RAID setups who can’t launch it either.
I’ve also got a RAID setup and not having any luck.
OK, I have no installed this game on 3 PCs and they all work.
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.
Hope it helps somebody work a way through.
Well BaB.
Fantastic results.
I will start downloading this game now !
Sorry Bab
I did exactly the same thing and nada and I dont have raid
Hi Still cant get past the “wrong disk inserted” message. Most forum sites claim that a mini disk image will do the trick but every *.mds file i download wont mount in deamon tools. Updating deamon tools did not work for me. Any new ideas will be happly exepted. Tony thankyou for trying.
Greetings From South Africa
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.
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.
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.
I have just updated the game to the 1.1 version without any problem.
The game still works perfectly.
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 !
i found this for you guys http://www.gameburnworld.com/dl/dl.php?file=ColinMcRaeDiRTHDRTweakerv1.0.0.rar
What is it ? :S
Its only a bloody HDR Tweaker :@
That is pretty useless.
I hope a Crack comes out soon
Hi…
I still have a problem with my mini disk image. Deamon tools wont mount any mini disk I download. Still have problems with emulation and copy protection. hope you guys have advice. Toutatis i have tried your way still no luck. Maby I have the wrong Mds file. I have vista + deamon 4.09 installed.
I was also totally frustrated because DIRT would not run, but I read that the game is only compatible with CPU’s with SSE2. I have an old athlon xp 2000+, so thats the reason the game crashes while loading. No crack will fix this…..very sad
If some1 is really desperet to play the game they can buy it as
i am gonna do.
Jodokus, you are right on that.

Minimum Specifications
—————————-
- Windows XP
- DirectX 9.0c
- Pentium 4 @ 3.0GHz or Athlon 64 3000+
Processors must support SSE2. Certain Athlon processors (Such as the AMD Barton chip) do not, and will crash to desktop on starting the game
- 1GB RAM.
- Graphics Card: GeForce 6800 / Radeon X1300 or above
Shader Model 3 is a MINIMUM REQUIREMENT for this game to run.
- DirectX Compatible Sound Card
- 12.5 Gb Hard Drive Space
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
PS:
Will try the demo and tell you how it goes.
Well i do not have the money to buy this game,plus it is not even released in Australia yet !
7/7/07 :@
Besides its $89 fricken ripoff !
Check gamecopyworld, no dvd crack released today… and it works!
Well i got the crack, still waiting for the game
The crack works fine, to such an extent that’s now pointless to mount the image with DT.
Help²..Help me plz…Really need to clarify this thing..I’ve got no problemo install the game..The problem rise when i want tp play da game..Nothing happened but Dirt.exe keep running with 50% processor activities..

Creative Audigy 2zs
Think that my card can’t even run the game??
myst, your problem is that you haven’t patched yet the game to the ver 1.1. So you need to do that and than apply the crack. The missing files you need to do that can be found here:
http://thepiratebay.org/tor/3721843/Colin.McRae.DiRT.Crack.Only-STOLEN

The crack works 100% just update the game to ver 1.1
Greetings from south africa
how do you save the gave without it saying save data corroupt when the game is started again.
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.

So… if I got all this right, then I can’t get the Dirt running no matter what…?!?! Namely, I’ve got the Athlon 1900+ , Ati Radeon 8500 and 512 MB of RAM…
Am I right or is there any chance for me to play the Dirt other than getting a new computer…?!
When your CPU lacks SSE2, you can’t play the game….This is the problem with Athlon XP cpu’s…..rediculous.
6800 is not a limit
i run game with sempron754 2800+@2.2ghz and 6600gt agp@540-1150and works fine.yeah minimum everything exept…res 800×600,hdr on{tried hdr tool and gained nothing without hdr}multisampling4x{i guess its fsaa}.i had problem with file corrupt error on saves but all i had to do is to enable onboard lan.thanks to dr crack.proc works @2.4 but temp in belgrade is about 40c so after few restarts i had to drop it down.my friend have barton and nv5700…i will try.my 1yr old daughter leak all money but i will consider about used 939 athlon and 7900gs or 8600gts.maybe imagination.greet all

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.
i want to buy this game but wat the hell is a shader? i hav all the the other req but i need a shader? what the bob does dat do. eh? its like all the ******* unknown ******* crap you hav to get on your PC to play a decent game.
