As of 22/04/2024, no modifications to the game files are allowed.
This applies for:
- Texture swaps (For example, the pssg files inside "DiRT 2\tracks" or "DiRT 2\cars")
- Cfg/xml file modifications (Such as 'hardware_settings_config.xml' in "DiRT 2\system", or "dirt2_game.exe.cfg")
- Modifications that add or modify files in the game (SweetFX or any kind of graphics filtering mods)
- Deleting files (Such as the video files inside "DiRT 2\video")
@HighPriest Your kind is not liked around here, and you are therefore ineligible to participate in this escapade.
I would just keep it the way it is, considering its not going to impact the speed of a run. It wont mean the difference between WR and 2nd place.
Also, if we logically think about it, the "games" are over once this cut-scene starts, so having the run end there is only appropriate. There is no turning back once that ceremony begins, meaning the game is technically over.
The link has expired. Would you mind creating a new invite?
RTA and IGT don't correlate in runs. My PB, a 3:09 RTA was a 3:56 IGT, while my best RTA of 3:07 was actually a 3:58 IGT.
So, when was the last time the mod has been online? I don't see any runs getting verified for probably the next year or 2.
Wait, why are we conversing here? Dammit I'm still waiting for Logan to run this game!
Yeah, this game is one of the worst cases of "NTSC is faster than PAL". The difference is pretty insane. You're probably 10 minutes faster on NTSC than PAL on average.
My fat PAL PS2 has problems with loading as well. After loading into the menu after a race, I cannot navigate the menu for about a second.
I agree with Tume. By crossing the line you have won the game. No further input is needed to reach the "winner" screen.
I've added a resource which contains the necessary setups for these 2 difficulties.

I hope someone out there who may run these categories one day finds this useful.
There is now a Discord server for this game! https://discord.gg/fXx6AuZ All are welcome!
