Second Race Driver: GRID Patch Released

3

Codemasters has issued a new patch for Race Driver: GRID, updating the PC-DVD release of the game to version 1.2. Among other things the patch fixes issues related to starting and quitting the game, adds the ability to play more offline events online, and offers a toggle to turn assists on or off when creating a new online game

Version 1.2 changes:

* Fix for sessions list overflow and missing characters in front end.

* Fix for errors generated on game shutdown

* Support for TrackIR

* Online experience points: more points awarded for completing longer races

* Assists on/off toggle added to session creation and browsing

* All offline events (apart from head-to-heads and touge) are now available online (event voting screen now scrolls to see additional championships).

* Fix for failure to recognise some devices in user-created action map presets, including Logitech Cordless Rumblepad 2.

* Fixed GRID startup issue where it appears as a process in Task Manager but fails to run.

* Additional experience points are awarded for not colliding with other cars whilst racing damage on or forward sessions.

    I hope this fixed some of my ingame crashes too. And I got the error when quitting too, so I'm glad that's fixed now!

    Does anybody else have ingame crashes ?

      I get the odd crash from time to time, but sometimes I can play for several hours without a problem.

      Last night I got the worst crash I've seen with GRID. Screen went to black, sound gone, nothing I could do with keyboard had any effect, and pressing the power button on the front of the PC had no effect either (normally forces Windows to shutdown the way I have it configured). I had to press the reset button in the end. But that has only happened once to me, so no big deal.

      Still love the game though and it still provides hours of really fun racing - on and off line.
