THAT's the problem - the dirt and grid graphics engines don't seem to like 8 cores and someone else with the same problem told me about the 'edit file' fix. One way to find it if you can't wait for me is to go to the Codemastes support forum and search for '8 cores'. It makes no difference to performance (as I said my version of Grid now looks better than the ps3 one). xml settings files in each of the dirt and grid directories, and if you edit them you can remove their ability to use 8 cores (so the games run on four or two). OK, so how do you fix them? Errr, you'll have to give me a few hours as I don't have the actual instructions with me (sorry!), but basically their are two.

I've figured it out both for Dirt and Grid *and BOY to they run fast when they work properly I can run grid at 1920 x 1600 and everything on full with an 8600. I believe these 2 games use similar game engines, so it's kinda weird that GRiD works but DiRT doesn't. Otherwise, it would go through that part, after choosing your race settings, where your racing stats fly across the screen before an actual race starts, and endlessly loop and never get to the race. On another side note, I have gotten the GRiD demo to work on my machine 1900 x 1200, but only with the graphics settings set way down.

On a side note, a colleague of mine has the original Mac Pro with dual dual-core Xeons 3 GHz, and he says he has no problems running this game, both with his old ATI X1900 card, and the GeForce 8800 GT.
Have you guys tried any more things to get this game to run?

Good thing I came across this thread I was almost going to buy the GeForce 8800 GT upgrade for my Mac Pro (Early 2008) to try to get this game working.Īt first I thought it was a problem with the ATI drivers and/or the stock 2600XT card, because of this KB article at AMD's site that seems to indicate this is a known driver issue. Every time I choose my settings on the menu, the game crashes right before the race starts. I am having the same problems you guys seem to be having with this game. Long time lurker, first time poster here. So, I simply wonder if anyone has it running on similar hardware, and if so, did you run into similar troubles and have found out what to do.? I start to believe maybe some hardware config of the '08 Mac Pro (Hapertown CPU.or, this version of the 8800 GT. I have even downloaded another copy from Usenet as I started to distrust my just purchased Retail DVD.
I have tried high and low video settings, tried low software enabled audio, and OpenAL. Every time I want to start a race (in every "mode"), Windows then alerts me of the crash, and immediately terminates DIRT.exe. crashed too.Īll versions crash at the same time in the game. Win XP for older games, and Vista for the latest and gr8test)īought it today, and have tried everything I can think of.
Therefore I have a Windows Dual Boot situation, done specifically for gaming purposes (i.e.

Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bits SP 1, all updates, Boot Camp drivers and latest nVidia and Logitech MOMO drivers. Windows XP Pro 32 bits SP 2, all updates, Boot Camp drivers and latest nVidia and Logitech MOMO drivers. Used a 2nd internal HD, and partitioned that drive in 2: all latest Apple software and firmware updates have been applied too. and I really hope someone can help me out. I have tried everything I can think of to get this game to work but to no avail. Mine very annoyingly crashes every time I want to start a new game! I wonder if anyone has played Colin McRae DIRT on a Mac Pro '08 with the nVidia Geforce 8800 GT.
