DIRT Showdown need 12 player derby races!!

Is that a dual GPU video card? If so try disabling crossfire and just run one GPU.

Game running fine except for the 3D red and green showing up. Was going to post a pic, but I just look at the Fraps pic I took and the red is gone. Pic look normal.

It has several GPUs but the Catalyst Control Center has changed its look and I have no idea how to use it currently.
Can't find anything on how to disable crossfire.

Give this thread a read, it give 2 options to disable crossfire:

If you try to disable Catalyst A.I., here a pic:






I would try the disable device in Device Manager first.

The new look does not have that option (it doesn't look like that)

Wait, there are two things I can do.

never mind, got it to work by disabling crossfire

Reading the Codemasters DIRT Showdown forum and Steam Dirt forum, Showdown not doing to good.

Online still having problems and there no host list. Matchmaking just throws you into a random host.


Also Steam charging to much for Dirt Showdown, $50.

Thanks to matchmaking, there no host in Showdown. So no host to start a kick vote to get rid of cheaters online.

There a big cheater\hacker online with Showdown already.

Here the last straw, host can not change lap count, even in a private host. 8 ball races are set to only 5 laps and if your car is wreck, it will re-spawn.

Private lobby selection settings?

I ask if lap count could be change and Codemasters mod said you can change lap count up to 10 laps:

Nice to see Codemaster putting out a demo before release of DIRT Showdown. I hope there a  8 ball track to race online, so I can see if host can set a 8 lap race. If races online are only 4 laps, then Codies shot themselves in both feet. Codies shot the other foot when we found out there will only be 8 players online. Need 12 players for rip roaring derby race like what we had in GRID.

And I sure hope Codemasters plan to give us at least 12 player online with GRID 2 ( 20 would be better, let host set player limit, 12 or 16 or 20 ). F1 2012 getting 16 player online.

For your info (I've seen you've asked a bit - couldn't say till now sorry!) You can change amount of laps on an 8Ball track, even as far up as 10 if you so desire for online multiplayer, not that there'd be many people left racing by then

*******************************************************


I will pass on getting Showdown now and wait for GRID 2 and hope GRID 2 still has 12 player derby races.

I'm thinking the guys from Codematers never went online with GRID and did any 8 lap derby racing with 10-12 players, to screw up figure 8 racing in Showdown so bad.
