    Oh dear GOD the controls are crazy! Perf spec cars are even worse than Dirt spec :eek: If you wanna leave a corner with a bit of a throttle, bye bye traction.. I just spent like 2 hours trying to get the Silver medal of first Perf race, geez the failure... Anybody managed to get it controllable by either Keyboard or Gamepad? Got so frustrated ordered a wheel (SRW S-1, I hope it will be compatible!)

    lol, sounds a lot like Test Drive Unlimited 2. Man, that game was a real pain in the bun to play with KB+M...

    With a wireless x360 controller its fine. Not perfect, but fine. For an arcade racing game its enough I think. Races are cool and runs fairly good.

    But the game is so much fun... I am even playing it alone right now even that is amazing, this should be the standard in racing games from now on, open world no loading screen!

    Yeah. But this is not the first. Both Test Drive Unlimited and the free Need For Speed World did this years ago.

    does it run at 30 or 60fps?

    sounds like ubisoft has ruined another game again!

    Mine runs at 27-35 no matter how I set up the vsync and frame limit combo. Tried various setting from full minimum to maximum, its the same everytime for me.

    If i reduce settings i can get to 60fps, though i am running 40ish atm, i would say ubi did a fine job with this launch, no issues so far.. Ivory tower is independent developer and seems like they like arcade driving, preference, not a bug or mistake

    Same here the cars control stange... there is no grip!

    Compare that to NFS: rivals and you will notice the difference.

    The car slides alot in the crew!
