Only view I really use is bonnet/hood cam and it's fine as it is, please don't alter it or just add option to change height for those complaining about it being too low. Near chase cam is too low and car is too far forward in to the screen.

What is your favorite discipline in GRID Autosport?
Raylion replied to tdb8138's topic in General Discussion
Its a shame muscle cars are in the tuner category as I like racing them but am not too keen on drifting. Wish they would split the category so you had the high tech Japanese cars in one group and all the big American gas guzzlers in another. -
When I went to run this week's challenges, the game first showed a summary screen of the events I completed from last week & awarded me quite a lot more credits (more credits for the events I placed better in).

bought a car which I can't use and can't sell well well well
berre replied to berre's topic in Technical Assistance
On PS3, bought a GT1 Honda HSV, when I race online, I keep freezing after the race on the result screen. After 5 freezes I decided to go to "my vehicles" in order to sell it: Value 0$ !!! and when I try to sell it I get an error telling me it can't be sold!!!! So I spend money for a car which I can't race with nor sell it..... pffffffffffffff -
GRID AUTOSPORT REVIEW // Vote in your score!
Workhorse9696 replied to DiRTKiNG808's topic in General Discussion
Would've rated the game higher but loses marks for no new Street tracks. Other than that I really like the improvements to the menu system, everything seems to load faster, the addition of practice and qualifying, engineer radio is a great touch, saves me looking at the screen and screwing my lap up, the simcade handling is very enjoyable. The AI is a big improvement over Grid 2, really appreciate the option to increase race lengths in career, using 3x at the moment, and it really helps knowing I don't have to crash and ram my way to the front before the race ends like Grid 2. Also like to mention the reduced impact of car on car collisions which makes the game so much better. All in all very happy with the game, well done to CM and all of us who gave good feedback back on the old forum =D> :-bd -
Ive hosted a few rooms where some of the ai drivers fail to start the race. They just become transparent. The rest of the field finishes the race and we continue on to the next screen. That's it. The race never ends. I have to quit out of the event. Anyone else seen this? Fix?

Grid & AutoSports Fixes & Tweaks. Read Before Posting another Discussion.
sgtdrayke posted a topic in Technical Assistance
I have been helping fix codi games for along time. let me try and help you . [ I DO NOT WORK FOR CODI BUT I HAVE BEEN A SUPPORTER / HELPER FOR A LONG TIME. ] Please note that all in this discussion are from my background and knowlegde, myself or Codemasters will not take responsibility if you choose to attempt anything in this post. IT IS AT YOUR OWN RISK Ok so you suffer from fps drops & stuttering in game ( singleplayer ) in grid 2 & or autosport. Some questions for you . Note this Discussion is regarding Windows 7,.. Grid Autosport is W7 & W8. vista users i would recommend upgrading. Q-1. installed via CD/steam ? & installed to master Drive C: ? Q-2. do you run your own antivirus with firewall and not windows ? A-1 : i have for along time pushed the "Theory" that read/write of the game files on the master drive is the main cause for these issues. which is why i never install to master. and it was recently proven by a few nice gamers to reinstall there games to a secondary drive . with steam this can be done with out reinstalling the game. simple click create and copy. A-2 : since a patch that went through on Grid Autosport my own av firewall was throughing out the game.as always you need to create rules for the game to access the internet.. but time comes when you will also need to edit adjust those rules. this does also include antivirus applications that give you protection over harddrives / memory access / other features. IT IS AT YOUR OWN RISK.. if you do not know what you are doing. most AV Applications give you the option of "did you install this program your self"? / Trusted. but remember the game is still attempting to connect to the internet. [ Some people think im having a laugh with this. but it is a true point that modern AV aplications will have "memory access protection" games apon install will automaticly apply for access with windows firewall and other av aplications. but if you use an av that is not supported then it will block some memory access and also C: access . ie reg keys and windows file access. alot of the time game support will just say "have you tried the game with all av disabled" . ] Other Tweaks and options to help you This is to give you an idea of options i will discuss. These game options are from Grid Autosport and are running on : - Intel i7 920 2.6ghz (stock clock) 8 thread 4 core - Asus P6t Deluxe - Corsair hydro h100 - Corsair Dominator 18gb DDR 3 1600mhz - EVGA 760 GTX SC 2Gb | Drivers currently on : beta 340.43 DX11 - Creative SoundBlaster x-fi platinum fatal1ty champion series - Samsung 24" 1920x1080 res 2ms monitors x2 (dual) - 3x Samusung 1TB 7200rpm sata II ( ALL Games are installed to a second 1tb drive ) Vsync is on and perfect 60fps . even whilst recording Page file is running at 34293mb Optional Tweaks the first thing with freezing / stutters due to FPS is to lower msaa / aa and the rest. they eat the most gpu power. then its the big list ( worst offenders at the top ) - ambient occlusion - advanced lighting - anisotropic filtering - global illumination - water - ground cover - Smoke shadows you will also notice that i have turned off "Advanced blending (intel)" < one of those "chuck it over the shoulder and get it dead senter of the bin" jobs unless you really want the best of the best and you have a Graphics card from the rambo family. People always say start with turning the resolution down. these days i dont think that is such an issue. but note Pushing an anolog res sa 1280x800 is far easier for graphics cards then pushing HD Res of 1280x720 or 1920x1080 . even more so depending if you are pusing HD i or p. Other Tweak 1. Do not forget you can always run the game in window. this is good if you cant even get the game up and running in fullscreen to start with. go to C:\Users\-yoru computer name-\Documents\My Games\GRID Autosport\hardwaresettings\Hardware_settings_config xml and set Fullscreen to false and this will allow the game to run in a windowed mode. you can also adjust resolution and other settings in this file if you know what your doing. and you can change ingame options to from your current setting ie if you are on high,. change to medium and second monitor to off. increase your options one by one untill it fails. Other Tweak 2. old codi games had an issue were the mapping of your computer CPU would not be correct in the Hardware_settings_config xml. if you want to check you can open the xml using notepad and check the section "workerMapFile="system/workerMap8Core.xml" refer to my "Facebook note Fix Grid 2 FPS Dropping" for information about how to edit this. TWEAK 3 [ ADDED 10/07/14 ] DIRECT X .. is your dx upto date and have you checked ? it suddenly popped into my head from doing the alpha testing with BF were an issue was raised due to this one thing. . you might want to try installed the Dx file. this will update your dx with any changes or tweaks . sometimes helps. Destination of this file. : YOUR INSTALLATION DIRECTORY \steamapps\common\GRID Autosport\_CommonRedist\DirectX\Jun2010\DXSETUP.exe although it says JUNE 2010 . this was the last official time dx had to be packed and made available as a download. ( showing age here, pack in the day ) but the files supplyed withing this folder are dx11 x86 and x64 supporting files .. ADDED NOTE DX11 TO DX10 has been Used by many to fix some lag drops or stutter problems this can be done & its very easy . as always create a backup before you edit. C:\Users\-yoru computer name-\Documents\My Games\GRID Autosport\hardwaresettings\Hardware_settings_config xml Within the xml you will need to Find. <directx forcedx10="false" /> and you need to make this <directx forcedx10="true" /> . Remember to save . this should force the game to load in Dx10 . but note this will also drop graphical features that are supported by DX11 and DX10 is known to be more resource hungry than DX11 TWEAK 4 [added 13/7/14] STEAM OVERLAY Totaly slipped my mind this one. until i installed on another machine (DOH) right click the game title in steam > properties > general - tab just above "set launch options" a small box with "enable/disable the steam overlay while in-game. ok i hope this helps you all . as always message me if you want to fire any questions at my head 8-} Sgt Drayke [ Please if you found this helpfull let me know by following me on twitter and Posting a Comment @ sgtdrayke ] My list of Forum support and videos For Grid AutoSport black screen issues click here A fix for Grid 2 that may help click here VIDEO Facebook note Fix Grid 2 FPS Dropping Click here Facebook note Fix Grid 2 Settings Fix Sheet click here Facebook Note Fix Fro RaceDriver Grid Dirt2 F1 2010 Click Here Steam Forum Grid And Dirt 2 Game load Crashes Click Here Other Disussions i have helped Codi forum Nvidia Graphics Card Issue?

Yes you need to back your save up on a regular basis but make sure that you use 2 USB sticks and keep them labeled or something because if you only use 1 then chances are your going to overwrite a good save with a bad save because you wont know if you save is corrupted until you start the game back up. Good thinking, batman . . .I'd saved them to another drive but like the idea of using a couple of usb sticks . . . ~O) In a case so "extreme" like this i use three places, two USB mem stick and the cloud, in my case PSN, and are stepped saves, so i do one in the actual moment for example and save in the cloud, then i save the next day i play (if i progress a lot i save two times that day, just in case) but left the previous saved file in the cloud as it was, and then a third in a step forward so all of them are "separate" from a ...say 10% in advance, with this way i ensure that if i save a corrupted file i should have another step,back with a 10% less wich is an amount of lost progress permissible to repeat again. (With PS3 you only can save the game file when the game is not running, not as PC wich allows to save in-game progress, at least some games. In fact as Crazy Train said you never know when the save game is corrupted or not, becuase it could became corrupted anytime the game is exited or quit, ´nuff said if the game freezes or someone exit the game in the wrong screen or part of the game the possibilities of a crrupted "save" increases in an exponential way. Another thing that scare me a lot is that sometimes a game corrupted itself so it can´r read ANY previous save file before, any backup, sometines because of an update that doesn´t allow the game to read any previous file....is a rare escenario but it happens to me in PC only one time some years ago with an stupid pinball game; i hope that AS not be that case.... All in all, i do this save-backup "paranoia" only in this especial situation with CM games, usually i only backup in a "fixed" 16 Gb memory with is always atacched to the system and each month i save in the PSN cloud all the games i´ve payed, so two are enough. I think that after almost a year i can´t get over the Grid 2 "drama" last year; really.. :(( :)), it was a great annoyance and very frustrating. Cross your fingers and let´s wait to the patch that will avoid this situation. Salute and.....SAVE THE GAME!!! <:-P

Anyone had this game just randomly restart their Xbox 360?
DarkRedslayer posted a topic in General Discussion
I had let it sit for about 10 minutes in the pre-race screen for the 2nd race of an event (needed food) and when I got back, I pressed a on "race" and the moment I did, it just restarted my console. Almost as if I had hit the power button, but it started back up on it's own. It happened in season 8, event 5 at Spa in touring cars for me. When I loaded back up, it was right back at race 2/2, so I atleast didn't lose anything. It was just odd. -
I'm probably not going to say anything that hasn't already been said but I like to get my tuppence in now and again. Likes: - Car handling (which is the major deciding factor for whether I choose to stick with a game or not).- Menus. Not perfect but much improved on Grid 2 and really pleased we can now see what track it is while picking cars etc. That said I would like an option to return to the paddock from the middle of a racenet challenge event in order to retune the car, instead of having to quit out and go through the relevant menu options again. Would also like the ability to repair the car in one go instead of having to do it three times. Dislikes: - Championship points based grid order for reasons I've explained in other threads- Repair bills v Winnings (both in playlists and custom cups). I know CM are looking at this so won't go on about it lol.- Racenet challenge leaderboards - unless you're in the top 20 or so you can't see what position you're in from the in game leaderboards and you can't see who is in 1st place. You just show as being 21st all the time with the person 20 places infront of you showing as 1st.- Lack of track variety in online playlists. It seems each car only has around 2-4 tracks available to it. I'm already getting fed up with driving the classic mini around Brands Hatch Indy circuit and the ute on Panorama.- Having to re-level up cars that you've owned, sold and then bought again despite reading on here that we wouldn't have to do this.- Corrupt game save issue... again !- The tuning set ups seem to change on their own. Are the tunes saved to the car? or does it work so if you change a set up on one car it automatically puts that set up on the other cars?- The truly awful piano music on the initial "Load Saved Data screen". It sounds like funeral music for my corrupted dead game save lol :D All in all I think it could be a great game if some of the issues I've mentioned above could be resolved.

A new camera view: the cockpit view without the car, just the instrument. Like in Gran Turismo. OK, Why then you might ask. Because at least at present it is just a two-diminensional screen view and because of that it is not comparable to the real world, so, it's much more fair not to have the car in the way. (and the front camera view is to low.) If this isn't done at least change the cocpit view to see a bit more of the track. Compare those two photos from Spa in F1 and in Gran Turismo.

When i go on linkin my account on racenet.codemasters.com to steam account hi open new window and nothing only white screen ? what i to do? thanks in andvance :D

I think you need to go and have another look at the leaderboard. It's not CGS I was talking about. Get your facts straight flukey. 2nd little statement there, NWR have more members than CGS.... 3rd statement, my guys retire if they get wrecked or their car is incapable of even driving around circuit.... 4th statement.... To be fair we like to split off, that's called tactics. Making a name for ourselves, if we have NWR in the majority of lobbies finishing first doesn't that say were dominating????? 5th statement, put your foot down you are not as quick as you think you are flukey. Especially not on grid autosport. You can't reset your stats on this one an finish up front all the time... And how do you decide who's gonna win the race? I'm sure you just said in a previous statement that NWR don't race together.... Right anyway. Just to 'summarise' everything that you have just said was completely irrelevant. Good job wasting your time haha.

Stuttering in both Grid 2 and Autosport. *USUAL FIXES DO NOT HELP*
sgtdrayke replied to Teddy15790's topic in Technical Assistance
/\ /\ /\ this is running on - Intel i7 920 2.6ghz (stock clock) 8 thread 4 core - Asus P6t Deluxe - Corsair hydro h100 - Corsair Dominator 18gb DDR 3 1600mhz - EVGA 760 GTX SC 2Gb | Drivers currently on : beta 340.43 - Creative SoundBlaster x-fi platinum fatal1ty champion series - Samsung 24" 1920x1080 res 2ms monitors x2 (dual) - 3x Samusung 1TB 7200rpm sata II ( ALL Games are installed to a second 1tb drive ) Vsync is on and perfect 60fps . even whilst recording B1ohazard , this sounds like and codi know it is.. a memory issue. let me attempt to aid you. 1. what is your pagefile ? i run mine at 34293mb . 2. installing & running your game on C: (master drive) ? i have always stated that i find better performace running games from a secondary drive. ( logic behind this is that whilst C: (master) is busy for all background windows and other apps having the game read/write slows it down, having it seperate is better ) 3. what av/firewall are you using? (memory access) the game makes changes on install to the windows firewall. but if you are running your own firewall you need to add entries. as i recently found out . after the installation of 03/07/14 patch my av/firewall comodo didnt like the game and was throughing it out the window. due to the patch making changes to how the game read/writes and acess the memory. so create your own custom rules in firewalls & av. so ie comodo you will need to create a custom rule in "hips" for it to have free access to your harddrive, memory and internet (this is at your own risk) my self i have entered it via active process and gridautosport.ext set to "trusted application" .. the game every second is looking and saving to the drive aswell as chatting on the internet even in singleplayer. av and firewalls if you do not give rules will slow the game. Hope this helps any Q's fire at me Drayke For Grid AutoSport black screen issues click "here" A fix for Grid 2 that may help click "here" and my Youtube Grid Videos Discussion -
Please fix the replays. They flip every 3 seconds from normal camera view (like watching a race on television) to quarter panel chase and lead cameras (these block most of the view with static boring pictures of your car body). I was hoping you would fix it from the terrible Grid 2 camera which spend 1/2 the time looking up at stupid sky scrapers but now it still quickly cuts like a Michael Bay movie. All I want is normal tv camera view so I can see my car and the cars immediately behind and in front of it. That is where the action is. Not looking through the window at the driver or staring at 1/2 a screen of quarter panel (and I use 3 monitors). Oh and also the ability to pan around your car then you can set up your own chase or lead camera if that is where the pass or crash happened. Other games do this, surely it isn't that hard. You have programmed beautiful game but the replay camera does not do it justice. If you want a tip just look at Dirt 2. The replays are beautiful. I watch every race and the action is never missed I just rewind , slow mo and pivot the camera at the action.

A suggestion that may help with boosting....
FOSTBITTEN replied to NWRCharger's topic in General Discussion
There is a lot of people that still do this even though they do not get any xp or money. If they retire or dashboard early they should get stuck with the position that appears on the finishing screen. If you quit and it shows 10th place then that is what they get. And charge them with damage to their car -
I do not think I invuted anyone to my club. I just gave out the full name of the club they searched for it, found it & joined it. You do the club livery from the game itself. When you make a livery and want to edit that livery. The screen that you choose has a place where you can"Set this livery as your clubs livery" or something like that. Press that & it will link up with racenet & take care of the rest. I call this my "main" car. To test if this worked, go to anothet car in your garage and choose livery. About 4th or 5th down on the list it will say "Racenet Club Livery" click on that and it should apply your club's livery. That you had on your "main" car. You have tomdo this to every car you have to get the club livery on that car. I have also noticed that if you change the wheels on your "main" car. Those wheels will appear on every other car too. As well as numbers, even on other club members cars the same numbers and wheels will appear on their car's too.

I am really loving this mode, but cant understand why there is no practice/qualifying in custom cup split screen. Would it be too much trouble to have it with another update? Maybe as DLC?
-
I really like the function to have your second screen display extra stats, show timing etc. However, in Online it only seems to use the same view as I'm having on the main screen. I'd like a option to have that camera act as a back mirror, so I can see what's going on behind me. Would make it a lot more useful! Easier to know what's happening behind me, and dodge out of the way for flying maniacs :-)
-
Well sorry but I disagree with you on the fact that it wasn't overlooked because the game has more bugs than just the corruption issues... Like sometimes the entire grid doesn't start the race and therefor the race never ends, or at the end of the race the screen just goes black and forces a hard reset of your system, or the system just completely freezes, or it takes a very long time to go to the xp awards screen after the race does end... The game was not ready for release and definitely wasn't tested to the extent that it needed to be before releasing it to the public... Sometimes it makes me wonder if development teams even test these games on the consoles that they are selling it for, or just test it on a PC and then reformat the game for consoles expecting it to be flawless... I was looking forward to playing this game and having a great time with it because overall grid is a GREAT series but all I have had are problems and frustrations so far, so yea I'm disappointed and a bit pissed off lol.
