    Read Kingpinzero post on the previous page for audio issue.

    Anyways, it turns out that all of those nice pictures you have been taking, have been block from sharing those pics with anyone. Therefore, I have fraps handy to do my photography.

    I love climbing mountains in my GTR.

    How do you do voice chat, is it automatically or something? Because at times I do hear people voices but they are no where near me.

    I might pick up this game when it hit's $29.99. It seems like a fun game to play on your free time but not for serious, realistic racing. For that I'll just have to wait for Shift 2.

    I'm a bit concerned about the excessive console feel a lot of you guys are feeling. I hate playing a game on PC and feel as if it was really originally designed for the consoles only. I play at 1920x1200 and wouldn't have it any other way, so if the game performs like crap at such a res then I probably won't touch it until it's cheaper than the current $39.99.

    I agree. It's almost like the Sound FX are MIDI files.

    Just imagine all the compression they had to do to fit the game on a 9.4GB disk for the poor little consoles who can't handle multiple disk games!

    Best bet is to ask people in game, thats how I find things since most people have very few things opened since they are a pain to find. T = type chat

    I tried the Xbox version and it has REALLY bad graphics. It looked like absolute crap at 1080. Jaggies everywhere, low texture resolution, it looked like something off an original Xbox or PS2.

    Is it any better on the PC besides the fact that you can add anti-aliasing?

    I am now playing at 1600x900 (native rez). Still over 30fps at all times. Settings (High, High, High, 2aa/af, vsync on).

    Sig below. I like this game so far... Racing is fun. Only single player so far.

    Alright I am getting really fed up with Atari. The servers keep going down for downtime, with zero explanation... they closed the thread on their site about it... way to deal with a problem...

    Moreover offline mode doesnt work ....

    As for people with low sound I keep reposting this but here is the solution:
