name='SuB' said:the joys of having surround sound without needing an external decoder
i MUCH prefer the game in 5.1 over stereo
i also found the game looked better on my pc compared to my 360 tbh :S
Mine is in 5.1 Digital surround on the 360...eh?
I found it looked almost identical on the PC @ 1920 x 1200 to Xbox @ 1080i
well at 1680x1050 on high i get 30 fps, with 4x AA, but it plays smooth just cuz its racing, on ultra it gets a little laggy coming out of the start line for the first race but still VERY playable.
same settings on vista, it was a slideshow, and the game crashed after 15 slides
what OS u on tox?
im back on XP now and its fine

with an external decodor yes.. i don't have one yet
5.1 with x-fi = fine for me
the aliasing on the 360 bugs me i'm happy with my pc copy for the time being
also the textures didn't look quite as crisp on the 360 which was one of the reasons i opted for the PC version

I sit back a few yards on the 360 and looking at both there's very very little difference imo

question for kemp. does the full 360 game look better than the demo?
i just had yet another
ing save game corruption at 34% this time. i'll be damned if i'm doing it all AGAIN ffs...
if the full game looks better than the demo i'm taking my pc copy back (well part ex for the 360 version) and putting up with stereo till i get an external decoder.
*sigh*

SuB, have you lost or changed anything to do with your internet connection at any time?
according to the codemaster forums, codemasters are aware of the problem and are working on another patch.
apparently the game requires a working connection (even though it's not listed as a prerequisite on the packaging or in the manual) otherwise you get corrupt savegames.

yea i'd be playing on my dell 2407.. so it'l be 1080 well.. the VGA highest res the 360 will do.
and as far as i'm aware my connections are fine. it just BSODS (admitedly it did it a few times) then previously when i get to about 38% the BSOD made the save game corrupt...
then it did it again at abour 34%.
thing is it didn't crash during a load or save so it seems odd
also there are profile files that i found, but there are so many and they're all identicle its hard to figure out which contains the information about how far through the game you are...
i was thinking of attempting to combine one of my current saves with a new one to get the game completed to what it was before..
but again i don't know if this will work but i guess since i'm back to square one again.. it's worth a try aint it?
*sigh*
edit: kemp could you possibly be kind enough to try the demo to see if the actual game looks better.. it'd sway me tbh.
after re-trying it it looked pants on my dell compared to the pc version
just wondering if the full game is better
