DiRT 2 Unlocking the No-Fear GOLD livery for the Subaru Imprezza Sti N

Recommended Posts

Hey everyone, I'm hoping someone can help me with an issue I'm having with DiRT 2 on Windows PC. Right now it's with unlocking the "No-Fear GOLD" livery for the Subaru Imprezza Sti N. From what I've read, in order to unlock it you just need to have a previous DiRT save file however I do and it's not unlocking. I've been able to unlock the Ravenwest livery just fine without any issue at all but the No-Fear Gold wont seem to unlock. I read this post from a few years back http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1912450 and they seem to be running into the same issue that was never solved. I've tried placing the save folder in places like C:\Users\username\Documents\Codemasters\DiRT and C:\Users\username\Documents\My Games\DiRT and even tried C:\Program Files (x86)\Codemasters\DiRT and nothing unlocks it. I went as far as trying this on Windows XP, Vista, Win 7 and Windows 10 and I keep getting the same results. Any help or suggestions would be extremely welcomed. Thanks!

I fixed this by adding additional registry that indicates that i used to have DiRT installed somewhere, otherwise it doesn't scan for it.

A normally installed and actually played DiRT 1 should have the required registry made somewhere... 
But when you are having internet trouble like me, this should do. It has been a while, so i don't remember if i used this same exact text. I also have copied the save data to 3 different places too, just to account for all possibilities. :D


This registry text is 64-bit specific.

you are a god! thank you so much, I tested this out and it works! I also tried this and just confirmed it does work whether you use an online and offline  profile since GFWL is no longer being supported.

In order to get the "No-Fear GOLD" livery for the Subaru, you need to have DiRT installed and played on your PC in order to register you have played the game. You'll also need a "savegame" and "hardwaresettings" folders inside a "DiRT" folder. To achieve this install DiRT first onto the "C:" drive of your PC and boot up the game. Get to as far as going to career and letting Travis do his speal about rising to the top. Once it's done it'll autosave and you can exit DiRT. From here you will need to create a "Codemasters" folder in your "My Document" folder. In the Codemasters folder create a "DiRT" folder. In here you will need to find your "savegame" and "hardwaresettings" folders. If you are playing through Steam they should be located in: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\DiRT". Before playing DiRT 2 again or for the first time be sure that there are no other game folders in the Codemasters folder.

NOTE: For some reason "GRID" and "Overlord" seem to confuse the game and the livery will not unlock. Be sure to move these folders before attempting to unlock the livery. Placing them back after you have unlocked is fine.

Complete at least one race and the livery should unlock!
