Um, you can't really give an A to a DR that has weird screenies and no details on cut-scenes... The centered multi-mon HUD is another issue; is this some Eyefinity-only oddity again ?
Anyway, I've uploaded a bunch of screenies, and although I didn't touch them I do think the main gameplay shots should be replaced.

Nvidia drivers 285.62 finally fixed DX11 mode for me, and it appears the multi-mon HUD is spanned in DX9 but centered in DX11... (The performance boost is such that I'm starting to think this is a DX11 game with DX9 mode, rather than the opposite.) The intro FMV is also unstretched in DX11. Widescreen support is unchanged.

Issues with Dirt 3

Post by bonedoctor »

There are significant issues with graphical glitches, sadly not limited to Radeon users. I have MASSIVE in-game stuttering rendering the game unplayable and am returning it after two days of trying to make it work. Yes, i did a clean install of all new drivers and I tried all the other tricks I could find to make it work. It is a well recognised issue that I only wish I know about before purchasing the game. If anyone is interested I can PM you a link to a youtube vid of the stuttering taking place (interestingly the in-game recording smooths out the stuttering so I had to use my phone to make the recording, hence the less than average quality).
