The trick is that the GFWL version that is bundled with the Steam DiRT 2 install files is no longer compatbile. I finally solved the problem today so I thought I would post my fix to maybe help some others.Įven though Microsoft has closed down the Games for Windows Live Marketplace, it seems that they still maintain the backend servers required for saved games. That fix worked and allowed DiRT 2 to launch but all of my saved games were lost! I've been playing DiRT on and off for 6 years and if I lost all that progress I was going to cry.
I searched around this forum and found a suggestion for getting rid of Games For Windows Live using a hack that worked on the game Bulletstorm. However, to be even mentioned in the same vein as this title is an honor in itself.Ever since I upgraded to Windows 10, DiRT 2 was never working on Steam, it would never launch, always crashing on startup. We would say that only the likes of Gran Turismo would outshine this title in the detail department. This is a pretty common racing game feature but the level of depth one can go into during tuning is very impressive. It is also appreciated that the player can customise their cars, tuning to provide better performance. A simple trick from the developer but one that is very effective. It’s a truly immersive racing experience and it means that even with just ten tracks, it feels like more than enough. Each require you to compete in practice laps, heats, qualifying and the full race, meaning that by the end, you will know the track in question inside and out. The game also has a story mode that will see you compete in ten increasingly difficult races. Also, the environments that surround the track are also well rendered, all culminating to offer a captivating dirt track racing experience.
Each offers new twists and turns and tactical cornering that the previous title simply didn’t have. Plus, the new tracks make the game less of a slog.
Then with regards to the new tracks on offer, not to mention the new licenced drivers, this affords the game a new layer of authenticity. It’s a joy to get the hang of each vehicle and you soon realise the ideal buggy for you. Whereas the slower cars are able to breeze around corners, hugging the inside line. The overpowered Merril buggies feel wobbly and unstable. Thanks to the strong racing engine this game uses, the cars will handle as they should. They may look a little suspect but you soon forget about this when you take to the track. In this title, you have access to four different types of sprint car, which can only be described as weird looking dune buggies. However, is the game a wild ride or does it need to pop into the shop for a tune up? We find out in our review of Dirt Track Racing: Sprint Cars.
