I've got the demo, been playing it online the last week or so a bit. Sometimes it a bit jerky and I have been dis-connected a few times, just part of playing online games i guess!

Great game, agree though, you need a good computer to make it run well

My laptop does a ok job, but could be better

found out u cant use geforce 4 cards cause they dont use directx 9

yea man that sux!!!! i had a geforce 4 Ti 4200 that i paid good money for years back n that card played all the other games i had that required good grafics easily... i run an amd xp 3.2 1024mb ram n the lanparty UT nF3 ultra-D but still donest run coz the card is incompatible...SUX!!! ive got the game but no money to buy a new gfx card coz my engine gave way :P

anybody know about the x-box version thats coming out? Will the graphics look halfway decent compared to someone running it on full detail on a beasty state of the art PC? I'm pretty sure the online play over xbox live would be a little more stable.

I'll probably buy it anyway, I Just wanna know people's opinions.

I gave up upgrading my computer ages ago because it would just get outdated after a few months!

I played them demo online (Internode Gamers Servers) everyday for about a week before the full game became available. I never once had lag or a dropout however I did have a constant 40ms ping on Australia's best ISP + Gaming Servers.

I played the demo on 1280 res on high detail and didn't once have an issue (Nvidia 6800GT 256mb). The graphics card and ram play a major part in the quality, if you have less than 1gb of DDR ram than upgrade immediately (it's very cheap). I think it's good that big games like this force people to use certain models (or better) of video cards, it's the only way to force people to upgrade their systems so that the game companies can release better quality games.

I'm still yet to buy the game. Everytime I see it at the shops it's always $99.95 and i'm not willing to spend that much on a game i'd be lucky to play for a month. I've heard it being advertised around at various places for $80-something. If and when I see it for $70 something then i'll buy it.

great game... i've had it since the day it came out, and played the demo flat out up until the full release launch...

you need MINIMUM 1gb of RAM. this game has pushed the minimum requirements from the usual 512mb to 1gb minimum. ive alt tabbed out of the game when it was idling at a menu (so not even in the map) and it was using over 800mb of RAM. i've got 2gb of RAM and a sapphire X850XT...AMD 3500+ etc, and i run it on max detail smooth as....love it!

there is a patch to make it playable with the geforce 4's, but the textures and stuff like that look pretty shit as you'd expect...

yea i got it and have played it a bit it's little slow online but i only have 512/256 though its still not to bad on Aus servers and single player is all good pc is amd xp 2700 1 gig pc 3200 ram, sapphire radeon 9800 pro 128mb sata hard drive and the rest doesnt really count so you dont need a super pc to play it with ok graphics

    • Yeah I've had too many issues with knock off's on the BMW's. I don't want to do a job twice or more because the parts are shit.
    • I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p
    • Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!    
    • So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat. 
    • Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
