Issues unresolved
When using the dgVoodoo2 wrapper the intro videos for the Rally School courses have sound but no image when the game runs in fullscreen
- Make sure the Alt+↵ Enter shortcut is not disabled in dgVoodoo2's settings so you can switch to windowed mode when you want to see those videos
Twitchy screen and sudden top-down camera view for a short period of time ("Motion smoothness" set to "ON" fixes that)
Issues fixed
Game occasionally crashes when loading a stage on Windows 7 and later
Use the dgVoodoo2 wrapper[citation needed] |
