Race Driver: GRID

Race Driver: Grid is the most recent addition to the TOCA Touring Car series, which is published and developed by Codemasters. This is the PC version, conveniently packaged with the latest update (1.3) and patched executable. No tedious extracting of RAR files. *** Installation instructions *** 1. Mount the image (MDS) with Daemon Tools or another image mounter of your choice, 2. Install the game (no serial number required), 3. Install the version 1.3 patch (gridpatch_1_3.exe) 4. Extract GRID.exe and rld.dll, - from RACE.DRIVER.GRID.V1.3.ALL.RELOADED.NOCD.zip - to the folder where you installed the game 5. Play! Seeding would be greatly appreciated. If you like this game, please consider paying for it. *** Please note *** A decent controller is a must! If your computer is running the game at a low framerate, you will want to try this: Go to your documents folder, navigate to Codemasters, GRID, hardwaresettings, and open the file "hardware_settings_config.xml". There you will find the line: postprocess enabled="true" blur="true" Change both to false, like so: postprocess enabled="false" blur="false" Or mix and match to find a setting you like. --4rror

roflcoopter (2011-02-04)

This does not work for me. It tells me that i have the wrong disc in my DVD, and it asks me to put the right one in.
What am i doing wrong?

roflcoopter (2011-02-04)

:

KasperskyKasa (2011-02-06)

@roflcoopter:
Did you follow the instructions exactly?

EpicPlayer (2011-02-25)

Excuse me, does any1 knows if I can burn a CD from this image and use it instead of any crack:
With version 1.3, i have major network problems when i play in LAN with my friends and your drift scores aren't multiplied in drift battle. -_-
With 1.2, ( Typical problems ) I can't save my first race in career mode and I can't enter drift races.
While 1.1 is too old; nobody on internet in 1.1 and missing multiplayer events.
BUT... I know that the 1.2 problems are BECAUSE of the crack so I'm asking U guys, can I burn this image on a disk and use it as a true official copy of GRID, which software should I use ( for burning ) and which kind of image ( if not this one ) should I look for ???

naxitrall (2011-03-03)

i still have a problem...i did all these thngs and it worked for two days....after that i opened my computer and wanted to play but it doesnt work any more...help me plz

Dufuzsky (2011-03-07)

Game was installed correctly, and game starts.
And the first video plays, then the second vid.
But when they are done, the game continue but the screen is black.
And after a little while, the vids start over again.
And same problem happens.
Anyone got some idea what the problem can be?
Running Windows 7 Enterprise.

bbscorpion (2011-03-25)

@Dufuzsky I am having the same problem as you.
The game starts I can see the trailer and then the screen goes black but I can hear the sound.
Can anyone tell hat the problem may be?

nishantratlia (2011-04-01)

@bbscorpion This can be because there is no configuration details for Windows 7 with the game. As it is a pretty old game of 2008, it wouldn't be having settings for it.

Oke.. could someone help me please? I mount the game and installed it like i used to. But when the game begins there is a good amount of lagg already in the opening screen. Further in game it gets more and more.. I already have adjusted the framerate and even changed the .XML document. (there both on false now) But even now, the game is lagging like hell.
System: Win vista 32bit, core2duo 2.0Ghz, 2Gb ram and a Geforce 8300 128Kb (overclocked).
According to the minimum system requirements i should be able to play the game..

cesco97 (2012-05-05)

@welshyben i have the same problem as you i dont know how to make it work. any help??

fbrx (2012-05-09)

It works perfectly with Windows 7 64bits, although my PC heats a lot when running it, but the problem must be with my GPU.
Thanks!

ahoi1 (2012-06-10)

Same problem as welshyben & cesco

ahoi1 (2012-06-10)

Found it!
If your game crashes, you need to install the latest openAL.

ahoi1 (2012-06-10)

If it still crashes, make sure to delete "hardware_settings_config.xml" and all your savegames.

ahoi1 (2012-06-10)

I give up. It still crashes for no reason.

ahoi1 (2012-06-10)

LOL
No joke!
Closing utorrent totally fixed it. Other people report the same on steam forums. Apparently Codemasters don't like utorrent :)

mojazubarka (2012-06-14)

Amazing, closing µTorrent works for me to :-). THAKS million times.

woneo (2012-06-16)

Works perfectly, no issues.
Works in wine also.
A controller is not a must but its helpful... i played this on xbox for ages and even the first time using a keyboard i was just as good. You will probably want to remap the keys to AWD (And down arrow for brake so you have more flexibility) and when exiting a corner its helpful to tap accel a few times so you dont just spin out (Since you cant feather the throttle without a pad)

Higgy9795 (2012-06-18)

Can someone help me I mounted it correctly and followed all the instructions but it keeps saying Please insert the original "RD_GRID" CD/DVD. What do I need to do?

funky23 (2012-07-10)

Game works fine but I´v played it on X360 and it was much better. I don´t know if x360´s controler fix it. playing it on keyboard after joypad is little bit frustrating I mean... ;-)

lammiboy (2012-07-13)

If you're game is crashing at the start make sure you have U torrent closed, IF THIS DOESN'T WORK then disable your anti virus software.
(My anti virus was Avast and Malwarebytes anti malware)

UrTaintStnks (2012-08-04)

The only fix I could find that worked 100% for this game is disabling your internet just to play. Gay, I know, but to me it's worth it. And I'm running Windows 7 64-bit. Works perfect every single time.

giannis-saxo (2012-09-16)

no open to me !!!!!!help

Thulcandra (2012-12-05)

The solution for those are having the problem "GRID .EXE HAS STOPPED WORKING":
1º) Ignore theses noobs who says "lalala disable your net lalala close your torrent client lalala"... THIS DON'T WORK!
2º) Go to the game installation folder, into the "system" folder, exist an archive called "hardware_settings_restriction", delete this file.
3º) Play the game =)

jodinez (2012-12-19)

@fbrx
dude my video card reaches 99-100Cº when playing this game too!

jodinez (2012-12-19)

ANYBODY KNOWS if we can play this ONLINE? or it requires another patch?

gotach (2012-12-24)

very funny game, works perfectly too ! :D

kona223 (2012-12-29)

Can't get it to run. I installed the patch then the crack, now whenever i click on the exe it trys to load but nothing ever happens. any help?

AnonymousSurfer (2013-01-28)

Works perfect just follow the instructions. I really recommend using a controller (Xbox 360 or PS3) if you have one because this game was designed better for controller gameplay.

dandalis (2013-02-06)

when i try to exit the game, it crashes along with entire system...good job dumbass

Badulla (2013-02-22)

Working like a charm for 7 hours straight on Windows8 x64 Pro. This game almost cannot be played with a keyboard or i am a retard.
P.S. I use a G27 Racing Wheel(i recommend it).

paulopisto (2013-02-23)

Is the multiplayer working in this version?

Lariet74 (2013-03-05)

I was able to start the game, and create a profile, but when I would play, it would crash EVERY time, if anyone else is having that problem, it's because u didn't use the patch, LIKE IT SAYS IN THE INSTRUCTIONS!Just wish i would have read them sooner! Anyway, once u install the game, then do the patch, it is in the folder that u downloaded the game to, not the folder that u installed the game to, the one that it went in from pirate bay, mos cases, i think it's downloads. Hope this helps, after I did the patch, it worked great.

426Mopar (2013-03-17)

"cannot create grid.exe access is denies"
I get this when I extract grid.exe to the folder where I installed the game
anyone know whats up?

426Mopar (2013-03-17)

*access denied

426Mopar (2013-03-17)

also rld.dll will not extract to the install folder

426Mopar (2013-03-18)

well I finally got it to work. and now it just twitches during game play occasionally it makes it impossible to play when it does..

426Mopar (2013-03-18)

@dreamviewer123
if your gonna spam shit at least post that on a MOVIE torrent....
idiots these days...

426Mopar (2013-03-18)

well I foud out that it is The DS3 Tool for my PS3 remote thats causes the screen to rotate the camera. Game will work fine with an XBOX remote as someone told me. So if anyone getting this uses DS3 you will need an XBOX remote or something other than a PS3 remote
Thanks for the upload!

Kurcinaa (2013-04-06)

Does anybody knows how to connect GRID to the weel controler?????Awnser pls ,if its easer email me at [email protected]
