Controller support
Logitech G27 wheel
The G27 wheel is not natively supported, but the G25 is so it's not difficult to get it to work.
In the
C:\Program Files (x86)\Codemasters\Grid\ActionMap\
folder the G25 is actionMapPreset1.xml, make a copy of that file, rename to "G25_actionMapPreset1.xml" for a backup.
Open the actionMapPreset1.xml file in a plain-text editor like Notepad or Wordpad, change ALL instances of G25
to G27
Save the file, save a copy as "G27_actionMapPreset1.xml" as a backup. It's important that the file with the G27 edits remains named actionMapPreset1.xml else it won't work.
Run GRID, the G27 will be detected and displayed in the Controls menu.
If that method doesn't work, try this.

Issues fixed
No sessions found in multiplayer
Everyone must be using the same version of Grid for the sessions to display.
Alt-Tab crashes game
Alt-tabbing out of the game may cause it to hang. No known solution (finding a way to make it run in windowed mode will likely solve this issue).
The game does not appear to run on an Intel i7 CPU
The hyperthreading in your i7 CPU, will mean that it is recognised as an 8 core, which can cause conflict with the game. The problem can be normally be overcome by doing the following:
Replace the contents of
C:\Program Files (x86)\Codemasters\Grid\system\workerMap8Core.xml
with that of
C:\Program Files (x86)\Codemasters\Grid\system\workerMap4Core.xml
The game does not show your native resolution in settings
- This may occur on systems with very low video memory (e.g. 256 MB).
