Dirt 4 patch
For what it’s worth, DiRT 4’s “unfinished” code got up to 60 FPS performance on our 4K machine (i7-4770k, 1080 Ti, 16GB RAM) with all settings maxed and driving in a rainy, particle-loaded course.The accessibility continues with Career mode.
DIRT 4 PATCH UPDATE
We’ll post an update here once we’ve put this PC update to the test. The dev promised further graphical optimizations, both in visuals and performance, in a day-one PC patch. PC race?Codemasters provided preview code for DiRT 4’s PC version, but we were asked not to review it. "They gave us as much data as they could, which was hugely important as they use a crossply tire, and that behaves very differently to the radial tires used in most other forms of motorsport," Coleman explained. The rallycross tire in particular is much improved, thanks to working closely with Cooper Tires (who supply the rubber used in the FIA World Rallycross Championship). "The key areas that have seen improvements are our aerodynamics, the way we model chassis geometry, and our tire and surface modeling," Coleman told Ars. But Coleman's team didn't just copy that stuff over to the new game.
Underlying the game are the same physics that impressed us so much in DiRT Rally. There's also a driving school (the DirtFish Rally School in Washington state), where you can practice your craft and learn advanced car control, and finally a section called "Joyride," where the aim is to complete stunts and challenges.
DIRT 4 PATCH LICENSE
Rallycross is back as well, complete with an official license from the FIA's World Rallycross Championship and five rallycross tracks. But there's plenty more to race, like the Landrush events, where you race against other cars on short dirt tracks in the deserts of the US and Mexico. Point-to-point rallies are still on the menu in DiRT 4, with plenty of routes through the forests and over the hills of Wales, Michigan, Spain, Sweden, and Australia. DiRT Rally was also a departure from the DiRT franchise, which had always been more accessible and aimed beyond just rallying's infamous "bobble-hatted" fans. The game was also rather specialized, sticking very much to the discipline of rallying, with a little wheel-to-wheel rallycross thrown in for good measure. While we praised DiRT Rally for its fantastic simulation, describing it as "punishingly difficult" is not unfair. Enter DiRT 4, available starting June 6 on Playstation 4, Xbox One, and Steam. Now, Paul Coleman and his team at Codemasters have a new game for us that builds on the success of DiRT Rally, but it should entice a far wider audience. The achievement was all the more notable because-while I tend to stick almost exclusively to racing games-I haven't really enjoyed off-road or rally games very much in the past. Last year, UK studio Codemasters blew my nomex racing socks off with DiRT Rally.
