  5. Choose a name and the file location (CMR2.exe).
  6. Click on Next twice.
  7. Enable the ForceDisplayMode and ForceSimpleWindow compatibilty fixes.

Huge FPS drops on modern systems

Using dgVoodoo 2 wrapper
  1. Download dgVoodoo wrapper from here.
  2. Unpack the wrapper on your computer.
  3. Copy contents of the MS folder in dgVoodoo folder to the root folder of Colin McRae Rally 2.0.
  4. Open dgVoodooCpl.exe.
  5. Click Add and select the game folder and click Choose folder.
  6. On DirectX section tick a checkbox with "Disable and passthru to real DirectX".
  7. Click Apply, then OK, and lastly exit the program.
  8. Run the game from the executable and change the settings in-game.
Setting the Environment Map setting from Cubic to Bump or Standard should give the biggest speedup
Lowering in-game Draw Distance also seems to lower the impact on performance
These issues might be resolved by enabling "Always Use 3d Clock" or equivalent in your vendor's GPU overclock utility.[citation needed]
DDrawCompat may help in preventing the FPS drops.
